Perversions of the Bible

The Word of God is under attack. This is nothing new, but it comes in a different form today in contrast to the violent attacks of the past. During the Dark Ages, enemies of the true Word of God tried desperately to burn the Bible and those who published and preached it. The Word of God has survived, barely, through the centuries of Dark Ages, because true men of God hazarded, and even gave their lives to preserve it for posterity. Enemies of God’s Pure Word today, have a strategy far different from the Dark Ages, so far. The Holy Bible not only survived the fires and persecution of the past, but godly men began to publish and distribute it all over the world, and it became the best seller of the last few centuries. Simultaneously, Holy Ghost filled and anointed men of God began to preach from the Holy Bible, the King James Version, and the light of God began to fill the earth as evangelism and missionary efforts brought forth fruit. The devil could not afford to let this success go unchallenged, so he began to strike. Scholars of Greek and Hebrew, supposedly men of God, began to re-translate and paraphrase the Holy Scriptures. And to our dismay, these versions did not appear with commentaries and annotations, to explain away the true meaning of the scriptures, but THEY WENT DIRECTLY TO THE TEXT; that is, they changed, added to, or left out the scriptures in their translations and paraphrased versions.
