Do It Right

Why do a sizable number of even and particularly clergy politely pooh-pooh my statement that the Masoretic Hebrew Text, edited by Rabbi ben Asher in the 10th century and reproduced by German scholar Rudolf Kittel printing that in his and our now-readily-available Biblia Hebraica (completed in around 1920) . . . is in fact the inerrant Hebrew Text of The Old Testament . . . . . . and also question or doubt my statement that the Trinitarian Greek Text of the New Testament, edited by F.H.A. Scrivener in 1894 (and which since then has not, in any logical or believable way, been credibly revised even up to now in 2015 after decades of impeccably-mimicing xerox and other photocopying plus perfect preservation of Text on computer CDs and thumbdrives) - based on the scholarly works of Erasmus at the time of Martin Luther, plus Beza and Elzevir and Stephens, thereafter all before the 1880s - is in fact the inerrant Greek Text of the New Testament (which Text is currently available from Baker Book House of Grand Rapids MI and Sovereign Grace Publishers along with Christian Book Distributors, and Hendrickson Publishers of Peabody MA?

Maybe because they do not believe that "the word of the Lord abides forever?"

Maybe because they presume that overpowering human impositions caused details of Biblical history and doctrine being changed over time resulting in "innocent" or accidental redefinition of original words pseudo-inspired and pseudo-authorized by pseudo-omnipotent/omniscient/eternally-sovereign, fallible-and-imperfect scurrilously-revisionist human beings who hopelessly screwed up original Text of the purported-"bad-grammer" Koine Greek Divinely inspired by the-supposedly-helpless-lifeform Creator beyond retrievable restoration?

Maybe because they presume that some newly-unearthed and newly-discovered manuscript might or will convincingly contradict the previous reading of all previously majority renditions pertaining to the same reference, and they do not want to be embarrassed and ridiculed for being gullible, as so they, in arrogant boasted anti-dogmatism, dogmatically assert that they are never sure that they have the originally-intended Textual meaning.

It is The Tempter's: "Did God really say that..." all over again.

Speaking of manuscripts (and the reader can and should check this out himself), there are basically three [different] Greek-wording renditions based upon "the oldest and most reliable" collection of ancient papyrus-and-parchment pieces comprising the total New Testament. Two of those are essentially identical, and they are known as the Westcott-Hort [concocted in the 1880s] and the [concocted-later-on] Nestle texts - both of which significantly differ [as to additions of Greek words, subtractions of Greek words, replacement of Greek words].....in comparison to the Trinitarian Greek Text of F.H.A. Scrivener which he synthesized and completed in 1894.

Now, we "cannot have it both ways."

Either red of a traffic light at an intersection means: 'stop,' or it instead means: 'go' and never does red mean both stop and go. The two are, of necessity, completely contradictory to each other, and the difference is so vital it at least could mean receiving or not receiving a hefty-fine traffic ticket and at worse result in vehicle collisions, maybe even with fatalities. That is basically what is the case pertaining to the crucial and significant differences between the Westcott-Hort/Nestle Greek texts and the Trinitarian Greek Text. Of necessity, one of the two is confusingly and endemically corrupt in many places, and the other is, by default, neither confusing nor corrupt, but actually and almost-unbelievably (thanks to the very-real-and-active Holy Spirit) perfectly accurate to the last Greek letter.

It is strange that some pseudo-"clergy" and pseudo-"scholars" pride themselves in not being able to decipher nor distinguish which is what in terms of trustworthy accuracy and reliability, attempting to accept both the incorrect and the [at-least-quite-different-and-possible-completely-accurate] correct as necessary to espouse, and so relish the intellectual equivalence of sipping piss with their pop and spooning poop with their pudding. As St Paul might have said about such pseudo-"experts"/"scholars"/"theologians":

Second Corinthians 11:21 [RSV edited] To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast (I now speak foolishly) I also dare to boast.
Second Corinthians 11:21 [KJ21] I speak with reproach, as though we had been weak! However it be, whereinsoever anyone is bold (I speak foolishly), I am bold also.

As useful as the RSV is regarding its Old-Testament translation, and convenient its New-Testament translation is [somewhat like other modern translations and the NIV, the latter authored in part by avowed-lesbian Virginia Mollenkott] for modern linguistic fluency and ease of understandability, perfect accuracy is deplorably and intolerably lacking, which lack the KJV-type Bibles [i.e. KJV, NKJV, MKJV, KJ21, JB2000, etc.] thankfully counteract and compensate for. And which is the time-tested and even-outside-denominational-sectarianism general-body-of-Christ popular translation which Walmart and Dollar Tree carry and sell? Yes, the KJV.

Which Greek Text is the English-language KJV closest to in word transliteration and equivalence? Not the Westcott-Hort/Nestle, but instead the Trinitarian Greek Text of Scrivener.

Indeed, one can readily see the ridiculous uncertainty of RSV [and other modern-"translation"] authors and editors, plus the consequential confusion against [not "for"] everyone, by them frequently skipping sequential verse numbers within various chapters of their renditions of Bible gospels and epistles all throughout their main-text New-Testament quasi-mistranslation [regardless of small-print explanations in the footnotes].

Obviously, such absurdity is not of the Holy Spirit, but instead is of indiscriminate satanic inclusiveness requiring integrated coexistence of the contradictory wrong with the pure-and-non-adulterated right as an "academic" necessity [or, ingesting a little poison with the pop or puke with the pudding.....as they flaunt themselves in exhibitionist graduation-ceremony robes and tassels].

The Holy Spirit, speaking through his Jewish-pharisee-scribe master-theological-scholar Paul, sums it up:

Second Timothy 3:9 ...but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

Such goofs (and pardon my understandable disrespect against aforementioned pseudo-"knowledgeable"/"expert"/"scholar" academia-titled knaves and jokers) are reminiscent of those who are never sure than a 30 mph speed-limit sign actually means 30 mph, and that a red stoplight is verifiably red according to various spectrometers, and that it currently still means "stop" and not merely slide through if nobody is coming. They are never dogmatically sure that there won't be another global Flood, that photosynthesis will annually spring into action, that gravity will continue to pull things down as much as it previously has, and that the Sun will continue to shine with normal and not surprise-attack brilliance and heat. They are not sure than the floor will not collapse under them, nor that the ceiling cave in on top of them, nor that an outdoor meteor will not hit them on the head when outdoors . . . because they calmly walk by faith, and not nervously by sight, and do not want to be made fun of if they gullibly presume such phenomena will continue to function as is without ever changing if one or more suddenly do, by chance, happen to change.

Maybe they presume that all devout scribes in and throughout the Middle Ages and beyond into the Renaissance who arguably and fervently loved, studiously obeyed their Lord, and exhaustively collected His and their precious accumulated assemblages of Holy Writ from various papyrus and parchment original-language manuscripts, lamentably (because of overwhelming vicious worldly antagonism and nearly-incredible duress of the threat and many times application of up-to-and-including-burning-at-the-stake martyrdom) were all slightly irresponsible or distracted by whatever, here and there, now and then, who thus errantly added or subtracted or changed alphabet-lettered originally-perfect inerrant autographic Texts penned by the apostles of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, and John?

Thus, to them, human errancy, quite possibly and maybe probably, outweighed any and all inspired and required dictates of the Holy Spirit (to designated humans to exactly and perfectly record absolutely infallible and perfect Text)......into a non-trustworthy conglomeration of who-knows-what of the original autographs.

Classic examples are modern-day homopervert theologians, some of whom even quote from and espouse the KJV Bible, yet add of sorts of irrelevant off-on-various-tangents additions to and subtractions from must-have-been-original, common-sense-and-non-complexly-understood, traditionally-preserved-and-time-tested, wording of various Scripture verses . . with trying-to-legitimize-their-perversion deviance-intended opinions of so-called "scholars" emasculating best-understood-meaning exact Text of an satisfactory-and=adequate-enough assortment of English-language-worded equivalences found in Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-28, and the Greek words malakoi [frequently misspelled by them, for the sake of confrontational and side-tracking divisiveness], and arsenokoitai [also frequently misspelled by pseudo-"scholars" for the sake of confusion by devious pseudo-"scholars"] of First Corinthians 6:9-10.

Basic and succinct words that, in refreshing and thankful simplicity, are rendered by the non-complex singular words: effeminate and sodomites are quite sufficient for both those of the highest academic credentials to common manual laborers -- without all the "scholars disagree among themselves" or "other authorities differ" needless and Satan-inspired baggage exuding putrid-and-sickening enema-excretion-equivalent destabilizations of viral-uncertainty vomit emanating from despicably-rebellious vermin of aversive hostility against easily-understood-and-readily-applicable Truth.

It all goes back to Eve conversing with The Tempter in The Garden, when the Devil (like aberrant pro-homogay and pro-homosodomite theologians and their self-righteous-conformist loonies) began by imposing an deceptive overbroad all-or-nothing remark of purported God-inflicted/God-is-a-sadist deprivation: "DID God say that you shall not eat of any tree in The Garden?"

It was a diabolical double-loaded question of two separate but devilishly-integrated parts, prefaced by the word: "did" -- the same type of compound-statement linguistics Satan used when tempting Christ in the desert using the word: "IF [you are The Son of God...]"

In both cases, properly-phrased queries from alias-Lucifer should instead have been: "You shall not eat of any tree in The Garden?" and "Why not command that these stones be made bread for you to eat in your intense hunger?"

No, instead the compound loaded question, and in Eve's case absurdly overbroad one, reminiscent of past fraudulent misrepresentation by Satan's Star-Tribune editorialists: "Minnesotans voted for Al Franken."

No, Star-Tribune editorials. Only some Minnesotans voted for Al Franken. Are you ready to experience a retroactive class-action lawsuit for fraudulent misrepresentation against those who did vote for Franken?

And there have historically been myriad instances like that - not merely by yellow-journalist subversives just alluded to.

But Eve gave a quasi-satisfactory answer, with her additional-and-quirky apocryphal adiaphora: "We may eat of any tree in The Garden, but of the tree in the middle of the Garden, God has said that that we may not eat of it, nor touch it, lest we die."

Satan did not follow up on that line of thought or path of reasoning, because despite Eve's apparent additions to God's original command (which original wording has been recorded in Genesis without Eve's out-of-the-blue additions and which original Text was probably told to her previously by her husband Adam), she did quote enough of God's simpler and basic command to not eat of the Forbidden Tree, and that would have been satisfactory for saving her and hers.

So the Devil took a different approach like some deceptive homopervert theologians and conspirators on the Web proudly puffing themselves as self-proclaimed "gay" "christians" (an oxymoron!) have done, concocting the misleading and in-all-ways-false declaration that: "You will not die" but does not proceed to nitpick about what it means to "die," nor when it would begin, when it would culminate, all what that would involves, but went on to entice her to grab the opportunity to become a competitive chauvinist equal with dominant-male Adam.

So, "die" does not mean "die," Satan? Your homopervert internet theologians go prancing along with that type of irrationalization: "effeminate" does not mean effeminate (but instead supposedly perhaps also means soft whatever, soft clothing, soft frog bellies, soft flower petals, soft gooey egg yolks, soft toilet tissue - and forget the obvious context clearly and obviously inferring sexually-oriented abominations of same-gender eroticism) . . . and "sodomites" does not mean sodomites (but instead supposedly also may mean temple prostitutes of either gender, men catamizing boys, double-occupancy men-beds [whatever that means], and so on ad nauseum).

Satan's statement to Eve that "she would not die" was not a half-truth but instead a half-lie plus a half-lie [and therefore totally dishonest overall]. Immediately after the up-to-then-totally-naked inferior gender ingested the first bite of the Forbidden Fruit, her entire genetic body structure (including DNA everywhere within her) began to deteriorate as if the fruit was a slow-acting poison with no curing antidote. Irreparable aging began, internal organs began gradual dysfunctioning, and without the Tree of Life accessible for renewed-health restoration, her soon-to-be mortal fate was sealed and irreversible.

Like the Garden Tempter, King Saul said that he "completely" destroyed the Amalakites as God ordered him to, yet did not completely destroy the best of them. A half-lie, and therefore dishonest overall, causing him to become destined to completely lose his kingship prematurely.

Sometimes, a [faulty] Bible mistranslation appears to comprise a half-truth [or half-lie]:

John 7:8 [RSV] "Go to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come."

John 7:8 [MKJV] "You go up to this feast; I am not yet going up to this feast; for My time is not yet fulfilled."

Note the crucial difference. The RSV makes Jesus out to perhaps even be a liar, underhanded, or sneaky about something, but the MKJV (like the KJV) clarifies what should be clarified.

There can be legitimate statements of half-truth, in contrast to Satan's overall dishonesty.

I have a clock in my bedroom, and if someone asked me if it worked, I could rightly state that it works but it doesn't work. Further questioning as to what I paradoxically, or instead contradictorily, meant would get them a response of: "Well, you put a battery in and the second hand incrementally clicks forward, but the duration of each click must not be accurate as to a typical second, because the clock loses time as it runs and eventually stops altogether prematurely while the battery in it is still good."

How about this one: A Nazi officer comes to your door, asking: "Are you hiding any Jews in your house?"

"No sir," is the shrewd reply [without adding: "They are hiding themselves"].

Fear of humans should not be the basis for deciding what to rightly think and do, whether politically or vocationally or philosophically or religiously:

Deuteronomy 1:17 You shall not be partial in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

Joshua 11:6 And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. [ "You" shall do it? Why did not the Lord do it Himself?]

First Corinthians 16:22 If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

Second Peter 3:15 And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
Second Peter 3:16 speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

Second John 1:10 If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting . . .

As was the case with phenomenally-scrupulous Hebrew scribes and others reciting not only audibly-recited verbal Text of Scripture from Adam himself and his ancestors on, which very-same Text was re-verified by the LORD Himself to extraordinarily-fearful-of-Divine-wrath Moses when He precisely put in printed form the exact Pentateuch particulars dictated from The Voice of God speaking directly to him from above the Ark of the Covenant between the two Cherubim above the Mercy Seat (according to Numbers 7:89).....and from the exact moment perfect autographs were penned by the original New-Testament apostolic authors or their closely-proofread scribes, the Lord's truly-faithful sundry and corporate scribes carefully copied the Text from then on, and any occasional and infrequently errors of whatever well-intended scribes, were obviously countermanded and corrected by other scribes who were aghast at such discrepancies and both bravely and promptly corrected them in their copies.

When the Gutenberg press was invented roughly around the time of Rev Dr Martin Luther (the real and not plagiaristic nigroid-agitator one), individual copies of the Bible which took up to ten months or so of tedious concentration and labor took but no more than hours - and, not only that, the typesetting letters of the press never magically or superstitiously changed during each printing. In other words, the letter "q" never became the letter "v" and the letter "d" never become the letter "m" and so on.

Since the time of Scrivener in 1894 with his [by-default-inerrant-by-all-indications] Trinitarian Greek Text, printed alphabet-letters-plus-alphabet-words reproduction has been, for all practical purposes, perfect with the advent of modernized printing techniques and materials, then Xerox and other photocopiers, plus thousands of bad-sectors-free CD and flashdrive/thumbdrive recordings of exactly-the-same and perfectly-identical Text.

Again, no serious nor credible competitors to or against the original Hebrew Text of ben Asher in the 10th century, and the original Greek Text of Scrivener in 1894, have come on the scene (and in the humble and Spirit-enlightened opinion of this truly-Christian webpage author, none ever will).

That is quite a statement for yours truly to make. Note that I am not saying that any specific English translation of the entire Bible is perfect (although taken as a whole, we already have a rather-sufficient knowledge of the entire Scriptural Word and complete will of God with the combination of already-available widespread, widely-used, and widely-respected English translations such as the KJV, ASV, RSV, NASV, ESV, Darby, Douay, JB2000, NKJV, KJ21, and so on). Downloadable free Bible software to quickly look up verses in various English and other-language translations can now be obtained on the internet from e-sword.com and onlinebible.com or perused at biblehub or biblegateway.com and elsewhere.

For those who seek the whole and complete truth of God's complete Word, He does not leave them languishing in ignorance. He always has, does, and always will provide a discomfortable uneasiness within his genuine saints that whatever info they sense which is inadequate, lacking, or missing in their partially-deficient English Bible rendition will eventually show up as they urgently are determined to search for and successfully finally discover what that is.

For example, I always sensed that Caucasians and Negroes and Asians were of and from one family off the Ark. I always knew, medically, that I (as a white Caucasian) could receive blood transfusions not merely from all of them, but even from women not my gender. I never realized that from reading the occasionally-racist RSV, until I came upon the antidote of properly-translated words of the KJV, NKJV, MKJV, KJ21, and more:

Acts 17:26 And He has made all nations of men of one blood to reside on all the face of Earth, ordaining for-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling.

Wow! Of "one blood." There's goes all excuses for racism out the window!

There's more. It's not merely "hair" of KJV's or NIV's Numbers 5:18 and Song 7:5. It instead is mopheaded (or loose long) hair as shown in the RSV and NASV and ESV! Big difference! Vital in determining what is decent, contrasted with indecent, hairstyles for girls and women in mixed-gender general public view! The KJV somewhat makes up for it in its rendition of First Corinthians 11 by inferring that the churches of God do not allow such a custom of letting a woman misregard her glorious loose long hair as adequate or equivalent for a prayer covering or veil.

Added to that, for authentic Christian scribes virulently desiring exact translation of previously-written Bible Text words (which they obviously did not imagine or make up in their own minds or concoct from some spooky supernatural ooze from wherever, without previous access and possession of already-written Text), the Holy Spirit Himself has been The Enforcer who has many times given a potential lethal ultimatum to His chosen, select, and Divinely-appointed already-verifiably-moral-and-worthy scribes:

"Either print the correct letter of the correct word now on your parchment or papyrus or paper regarding (and not "concerning") this part of My Holy Text of Scripture . . . or I will promptly and perhaps-even-painfully execute you on the spot, or do it sometime shortly afterwards such as when you get up and go to the toilet to relieve yourself, or before you step out of your residential abode today . . . so that you do not cause my true believers to stumble in confusion."

I personally have, when I was a senior at the U of Minn at around 8 p.m. when alone in a piano practice room in Scott Hall, experienced such bizarre baptism-by-fire epiphany from the Spirit immediately resulting in my passionately-desperate plea for Jesus to save me as I had dropped to both knees with my face to the floor . . . and that night, having been snatched from the spiritual fires of Hades (something not of this Earth - I'm very serious!) on the way back to my apartment near the U amidst the dark clouds and wind, I was violently trembling as I walked along almost catatonically paralyzed with horrified terror, the type of which I cannot even begin to describe with words, and which I hope I never ever experience again.

I had made a prophecy of impossibility in the name of the Lord which would have necessitated a miracle, but which the Lord rather dramatically that night made known to me that such was not His will, but He gave me a lesser alternative and endowment which began manifesting itself soon after and yet is my ongoing legacy to this day. Pertinent to me - both concerning and regarding that most-unusual experience that night - was the following:

Acts 1:5 ...for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said: "John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

The Enforcer has a thousand and one ways to preserve the integrity, veracity, and totally of His Old-and-New-Testament Holy Bible, and has already used quite a few of them regarding all sorts of life-preserved obedient scribes, and concerning too-numerous-to-mention life-terminated apostate heretics. Cemeteries are silent testimony against infidels who fatally made defiant-against-God-and-His-Truth wrong decisions one too many times.

He will continue to do so, enforcing without partiality or compromise [whether gradually or suddenly] what simple and concise words He wants preserved in Holy Text, plus His plainly-revealed-and-enforced dictionary and/or obviously-congruent-with-nature singular definition and meaning of those singular words.....no matter what disruptive and dishonest nefariously-manipulative semantics-misrepresentative homosexuals, atheists, abortionists, antisemites, pornographers, immodest, feminist sexist, etc. declare and assert to the contrary.

Bonus:

It has been said that human beings have been created "in the image of God."

In what ways?

(1) they have body, spirit, and soul [like Jesus had and has] (unlike animals and other lower lifeforms which and not "who" only have body and spirit)

(2) they have morality awareness of good and evil, righteousness and wickedness (unlike animals and lower lifeforms which do not have such), and

(3) they have a sovereign free will to choose to either be for or against God, and both who and what belongs to Him (which animals and other lower lifeforms do not have, but only operate on pre-programmed instinct with stimulus-response reactions to innumerable varieties of environmental factors)

God's "foreknowledge" is not, and has nothing to do with, forcing humans against their God-given free wills. It simply means that the Creator knows, before a human is even conceived, what that human is going to choose with his or her sovereign free will, and God has made a choice with His own free will to never and not interfere with or force that human to choose for or against anything.

His "predestination" for humans is related, in that God the Creator prearranged the environment for the human to make his or her free-will choices....but again, does not involve the Creator forcing the human regarding their own positive free-willed choices or concerning their own negative free-willed choices.

"Can" God capriciously change His mind to suddenly and non-predictably force humans to choose what He want them to, contrary to their sovereign free wills? "Can" God choose to make Himself non-existent or get off His throne and let Satan take over? "Can" the Sun be the Moon, or black be green?

All such "can" questions [whether relating to ability or intentions] are absurd combinations of English words in sentences, and should be castigated accordingly as ridiculous foolishness, because no answer is applicable to what obviously are irrational impossibilities.

The acceptable wording for such questions is not "can" but instead will God do this or that, and will His environmental entities alter in contradiction to his previously-guaranteed free-willed-incepted designations which He already has immutably assigned them.

To irrationally expect such to change is both illogical and anti-Biblical.

Sinners choose to sin, but are forced to do so by no one. Righteous choose to be good, but are forced to do so by no one.

Thus, homoperverts are not "born that way" [although they are born into a sinful environment which will try to incite them or suggest that they become and be homosexual]. They actually, and in fact, decide themselves whatever with their own free-willed choice to become and be that way.

"Why" do they so choose that? "Why" do most humans (according to Scriptural testimony) choose to decide to be and stay on the broad and easy road to destruction?

That question (like some of the previous questions posed above) is also absurd foolishness, and ridiculous simply because there is no answer to it, nor "can" there be any answer to it. It is a mystery as St Paul stated, and it will always remain a mystery.
