"In place of the philosophical and theological systems of the time, Erasmus set forth his 'philosophy of Christ,' to be arrived by pious study rather than disputations. This 'philosophy' was supposed to represent the simple message of Christianity in its spirit rather than its letter; it was a message to be lived, not to be formulated in abstract systems. It was a nondoctrinal religion, a religion without theology, which could be approached through the early Church Fathers and the morality of the New Testament but not through the morass of distinctions, terminology, and theory built up in the Middle Ages. This outlook had a great impact on the most liberal reformers and nondoctrinal mystics." (p. 43) |

A monumental campaign of deception is underway, headed by "Satan which deceiveth the whole world" (Rev. 12:9). The Lord said "many deceivers" (2 John 2:7) "shall deceive many" (Matt.24:11) "by good words and fair speeches" (Rom. 16:18). No doubt many new versions advocates will feel compelled to defend their use of new versions and will raise questions or say maligning words about the Authorized King James Version or exposes like New Age Bible Versions. When the inevitable questions come (from the serpent, inventor of the first question -- Gen. 3:1), deception can be avoided by following the good Shepherd's guidelines. A few include:
2. "Prove all things." (I Thess. 5:21) Require proof and documentation from primary sources of any allegations. The "grievous complaints" and accusation leveled at Paul failed when proof was required (Acts 24:13, 25:7). 3. "Let no man deceive you with vain words." (Eph. 5:6) Beware when critics draw attention away from actual scriptural comparisons (i.e. KJV vs. NIV)--the read issue-- and on to tangiential side issues. 4. "Deceive not with thy lips" (Prov. 24:28). "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" (Gal. 6:7). If a Christian has lied, he can expect to be lied to, unknowingly. "A liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue" (Prov.17:4). This sequence of events, "deceiving and being deceived," is described in 2 Tim. 3:13. 5. "Keep yourself from idols" (I John 5:21). Ezekiel 14:1-11 and II Chron. 18:18-22 reveal that God will allow his people to be deceived if they have "unrighteousness" or "idols in their hearts".
heart...should I be inquired of at all by them?...I the LORD have deceived that prophet. Ez. 14:3,9 And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thess. 2:11,12; also see John 3:20,21 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips. Prov. 17:4 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. I Cor. 11:19 |
