DocumentationOfApostasy

Apostasy is “a falling away from a standing position.” In application, this simplymeansthatamanprofessestobelievesomethinghedoesnotbelieve,orheprofessestobestandingforsomethingheused tostand forbutno longerstandsfor.Thecontemporaryapostates in America today are the Fundamentalists who “use” the AV because they“prefer”it($$$),notbecausetheybelieveit.Yearsago(1880-1920)apostateswerecalled“Conservatives”;theyarenowcalled“Modernists”or“Liberals.”

Apostasy is alwaysgradual, and it alwaysbegins in the sameplace: from190A.D.(Alexandria)to1990A.D.(BobJonesUniversity),italwaysbeginsinaChristiancenterofhigherlearning.Therearenoexceptions.TheoriginalDarkAgeuniversitiesweresetup by the Catholic Church. Every teacher in them had to subscribe to all of thefundamentals given in the Bob Jones University “Creed,” plus the creedal statementsfoundintheso-called“Apostles’Creed.”TheschoolsinAmericathatbeganwithastrongfundamental, evangelistic emphasis were Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, andPrinceton. The conservative schools of England were Cambridge and Oxford. Beforethem,Halle,Tubingen,Heildelberg,Stuttgart,Berlin,etc.,went“thewayofallflesh.”

Apostasy in Germany was heralded byMelanchthon (after Luther) and changes inLuther’sBiblebyFranke,Bengel,Hedinger,etal.ApostasyinEnglandwasheraldedbytheDeistsandchangesintheAuthorizedVersionbyFell,Mill,Walton,Westcott,Hort,etal.ApostasyinAmericawasheraldedbyPhilipSchaffandchangesintheAVbyGreen,Robertson,Machen,Davis,Wuest,etal.“Thereisnonewthingunderthesun” (Eccl.1:9). Christian educators have been at the root of apostasy every time it showed up,anywhereonthefaceofthisplanet.TheNCCCtodayiscomposedofchurchesandmenwhowere theproductof colleges,universities, and seminaries that allprofessed, at onetime, to believe in the “inspired original autographs.” The “autographs” just weren’taroundtoaffectanyone,sonature“tookitscourse,”asalways.

AstudyofBibleversionsisoneofthebestwaystomonitorthelength,breadth,depth,and intensity of any apostate or any apostate institution.

Whoeveritwas,theysuredida“bangup”jobofit,didn’tthey.

Well,itisBobJonesUniversityinAmericathatrecommends(andhasrecommendedforfortyyears)theGreektextoftheASVandNASV:itiscalledNestle’sGreekTestament.This “eclectic” text (allGreekTestaments are “eclectic”) is nearly identicalwith a textpublishedbytheUnitedBibleSocietycalledthe“AlandandMetzgertext.”BOTHtextsarebasedmainlyontheAlexandrianGreektextthatWestcottandHortusedfortheRVof1881. The outstanding representatives of this text are two corrupt manuscripts calledSinaiticus and Vaticanus: BOTH NAMES HAVE BEEN QUIETLY ERASED FROMNESTLE’S“INTRODUCTION”inthelasttenyears,althoughtheywerethereforeightyyears.BothofthesemanuscriptscontainApocryphalbooksASPARTOFtheinspiredOldTestament canon. One contains Apocryphal books in the New Testament (Aleph:Sinaiticus). Modern versions (NIV, NEB, NAB, NJB, NWT, etc.) pretend they are notinfluencedby these twomanuscriptson thegrounds that theydon’talwayschoose theirreadings; but as far as that goes, neitherAland,Metzger, norNestle always chose theirreadings.Theydo,however,callbothmanuscriptsthe“mostreliable”andthe“oldestandBEST”manuscripts. These manuscripts stand with Jerome’s Latin Vulgate in the NewTestamentagainst theKingJamesBible andMartinLuther’s translation.They thereforeheraldinanotherDARKAGE:thatiswhatJeromeheralded.ApostasycanbetracedbyBibleversions.

The study of apostasy in the English versions is fascinating if one observes theintricaciesoftheAdamicnatureoperatinginanefforttodefenditselffromthetruth.Innootherfieldcanonefindsuchanintertwinedtangleofsubtleandmisleadinghalf-truthsandquarter-truths,foroftenthereviseristotallyunconsciousofwhyhetakesacertaincourseorchoosesa“reading.”The“godofthisworld”(2Cor.4:4)isfarmoreinterestedinwhat“Godsaid”(Gen.3:1)thanthemostbrilliant,exactinglinguistwhoisatworkgettingridof theAuthorizedVersion.Aswepointout specific instances in the scripturewhere theapostatehasgonetoworktogetridofatruth(orcoverupatruth,orpervertatruth,orwaterdowna truth),wewillbe faced timeand timeagainwith thiscomplaint fromtheapostates’supportersorfriends:“WhatdifferencedoesTHATmake?Itdoesn’taffectonesingle fundamentalof the faith?”When it is called to theapostates’ attention that allofGod’sWORDS are important, then the apostate retaliates with, “What do you do thenabout thedifferentwordingsyou find in thevariouseditionsof theKing JamesBible?”Satan isprepared tooperate inanydirection,atamoment’snotice,withoutslowing thepaceofapostasybyonemileperhour.

Allkindsofthingshavebeenwrittenaboutthis,suchasTheBattlefortheBible,TheKing James Version Debate, etc., and anyone can obtain literature on comparisons ofversions;however,noonehasyetANALYZEDthe“thinking”behindthereadingsinthe

Howwasthisdonerightbeforetheeyesofanationthatcontainedmillionsofsavedpeople in itwhoprofessed tobelieve theBiblewasGod’sword?Itwasdone throughaleavening process (Matt. 13:33)—slowly, carefully, and subtly carried out by educatedChristians. All apostasy begins in orthodox, conservative colleges, seminaries, anduniversities.Therearenoexceptions.

Furthermore, all of thesemodern apostates will whine when pinned down and insist that they are no longer“followersofWestcottandHort.”Theyhaveproduced“new”(sameoldline)texts.Thenagain, a modern English translator will blabber about “eclecticism” in putting out hiscommercialgimmicksothatyouwillTHINKsomethingnewisbeingdone:nothingNEWisgoingonatall.ItistruethatNestle“backslid”andreinsertedmorethanfourhundredTextusReceptusreadingsintohis1979editionthathehadomittedforeightyyears(!),buteventhenhewhinedthatthiswasdueto“newevidence.”Ihavecheckedmorethantwohundredsofthesereadings,andtimeandtimeagaintherewasn’tanynewevidenceatall;healteredhisAlexandrian textdue toPRESSURE.Hedid it for thesamereason thataDemocratic sex pervert can be reelected to Congress while a “straight,” fornicatingRepublicanCongressmanisnotre-electedtoCongress.ItispopularpoliticallytosupportSodomites;youcangetawaywithit.Ablackantigunjournalistcanshootayoungmaninhisbackyard(1988)andnotbefinedfivedollars.Ifhewerewhite(likeBernardGoetz)hewouldgotojail.Itispopularpoliticallytosupportblacks.ManyofNestle’schangesintextweredone toplease“peerpressure.”Therewereno“newlydiscoveredpapyri” thathadanyeffectonmanyofthevariantreadingsatall.

The end results of such apostasy are manifold. In 1884 there began an attempt toreplacetheBiblical text thathadbroughtaboutagreaterrevivalof trueknowledgethananyBiblical text in theworld.Now(onehundredyears later),havingcome through theASVof1901,theRSVof1949,andtheNASVof1959,wegettotheNIVof1978,andwefindnothingbutattackafterattackafterattackoneverythingintheBookthatdestructivecriticsdon’tlike.Theyarenotjustapostate;theyaretotallyapostate.Theycouldnotbetrustedwith theoriginalmanuscripts if theyhad them.TheydoNOTstick to the “besttexts.”Theydonottranslate“uniformly.”Theydonotmakeanysense.Theyarenottruetowhathasbeenrevealed.Theycoverupwhatwasrevealed.Attimestheyshowalackofintelligence that is absolutely preposterous. They are not “faithful stewards” of the“mysteries,”andtheyareNOTabletoleaveaverseasitstandsifitisaimedattheirsinsorshortcomings.

This is theNew InternationalVersionof 1978. It is the ideal showcase formodernapostasy, as it has assembled and “collated” the accumulated blunders of unfaithful“stewards” for nearly one hundred years. Here we have a condensed ASV-NASV-RSV-NRSV-RV plus “Living Bible” in one volume between two covers. It is a scholarlymonument to the truth of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and 2 Timothy 4:1-4. The NIV is thecapstoneof a paraffin pyramid composedof lying, falsified evidence, coveredup truth,partiality in selection of manuscripts, bloated opinions, wild conjectures, impossiblehypotheses,andout-and-outrejectionofadozenthingsintheBiblethatanunsavedmanwouldnotlike.Retainingenoughversessothatyoucan“leadsomeonetoChrist”(whichis trueof theNewWorldTranslationof the Jehovah’sWitnesses) and still find “all thefundamentals of the faith” (which can be found in theNew World Translation of theJehovah’sWitnesses),theNIVgivesus thefinalpictureofcompleteapostasywithin theBodyofChrist,beginningwithOrigen(whoquestionedboth1Tim.3:16andMark1:1-2)toBobJonesIII.Herecomemorecases:

It isbysimilitudes that the“invisible thingsofhimfrom the creation of the world are clearly seen…EVENHIS ETERNAL POWERANDGODHEAD,” (Rom.1:20).TheNIV reducesHosea to “I…told parables throughthem.”Theyweren’tparablesatall (see2Pet.2:22;Ps.19:5;Matt.13:43,24:37); theywereSIMILITUDES.Where JesusChrist did speak aPARABLE, theNIVknocked thewordoutofHismouthandsaiditwasjust“afigureofspeech,”(John10:6).Thereisnoremedyforapostasy;itawaitsjudgment.

Nowhere is this intentionalcorruptionbetterpreserved than in theNIV,whichreads“onearthpeacetomenonwhomHISFAVORRESTS.”Thisstinkingpieceofhumanisticschmaltz is now recommended by nearly fifty Christian colleges and seminaries as“scripture.”When the writers of Vaticanus and Sinaiticus borrowedOrigen’s library atCaesarea tocreate theirphonyBibles forConstantine (330A.D.), they incorporated thereading for they, as Origen, were POSTMILLENNIALISTS. Being unable to “rightlydivide the word of truth” (notice that all of them got rid of that reading in all of themodern English translations), they could not understand the First and Second Adventpromises occurring together UNTIL Acts 7, so they did what any good, godlyFundamentalistatBJUwoulddo:theyalteredtheGreektexttomatchtheirownignoranceandthenalteredanothertexttocoverupthereasonfortheirignorance.

Apostasy is notwithout its humorous overtones. In the very last stages of apostasy(1960-1990)theapostateleadersofChristianeducationinAmerica(BobJonesUniversity,Baptist Bible College, Tennessee Temple, The Sword of the Lord Foundation, MoodyBible Institute,Wheaton, Fuller Seminary, Dallas and Denver Theological Seminaries)adopteda“funnyism”inordertoprotecttheirincomeandtheirimagesastheycontinuedto destroy the faith of young people in the Holy Bible (AV). They called theirFundamentalist Fad “Ruckmanism” and state (just as seriously as a heart attack) that ifanyonebelievesyoucancorrect“theGreek”(sometimestheycalledit“THEGreektext,”sometimes“theoriginalGreek,”sometimes“theORIGINALGreek”text,dependingupontheparticularlietheyweretryingtogetacross)withtheEnglish(AV),theyareensnaredinadeadly“culticheresy”called“Ruckmanism.”Theydothiswhilecorrectingallof theirGreektextswiththeAuthorizedVersion.ThekingapostatesbehindtheNIVdidexactlythesamething.TheycopiedtheKingJamestextreadingfor1Corinthians2:16,knowingaswellas theyknewOrigen that therewasn’taGreekmanuscriptextanton thisearth thathadtheGreekarticlebefore“mind”(νουν,noun).AgaintheycopiedtheKingJamestextonMatthew28:1,knowing therewasn’tapieceof paper (or vellum)on this earth thatsaid“sabbath.”AllextantGreekmanuscriptshadtheplural(σαββατων,sabbaton).TheycorrectedtheGreekwiththeEnglishandthenproclaimedthatdoingsowasa“CULTICHERESY”!

This shows us that the end of apostasy is IRRATIONAL MADNESS. What wewitness in theend time is amancuttinghisown throatwitha straight-edged razor andhollering, “It’s a banana! It’s a banana! And anyone who picks it up is insane!” Casenumberseventy-fourcomingup.
