1 | put 1Jn 5:7 BACK where it belongs! | 1 John 5:7 | Makarios | 98657 | ||
Perhaps for you! My question to you is: Did we have God's Word before 1769? Makarios |

yes, we had God's Word before 1769, but as humanity became more organized and mass propaganda became possible, God saw to it that His Word was ever-more codified and available in order for The Saints to have something to refute the superstitions, traditions and errors that unsaved men would produce. As the power and means of disinformation increased, the ready availability of The Word of God increased. Today, because of instantaneous communications, heresy and lies can be sent all over the world in a flash. To counter that, God has probvidentially made access to religious knowledge cheaper and easier for all. Only TODAY (in this time) could persons like you and I actually do a "search" through the 5000 pages of The Church "Fathers" to locate information on certain subjects or to see how they used and interpreted the Bible. The Vulgare was the equivalent to the KJV in the world for 1000 years until the Reformation. There has always been ENOUGH of God's Word readily available to Christians for them to have something to regard as a standard to which all policy and practice could be compared. The KJV is NOT perfect: but is IS better than any of the other English translations - see here that God promises to KEEP His own words safe and intact througout all history - Psa 12:6-7 (KJV) The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. and...... Psa 68:11 (KJV) The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. God promised to preserve and protect His word and see to it that it was adequately available to all generations.

Colin - Are you sure the Chinese peasant doesn't have his own "Autholized Velsion" written in 1611 Mandarin? --Hank | ||||||

I'm not sure, Hank, but if he does it's probably corrupt! By the way, have you heard of the New Surfers Translation (NST) here in California? Here's John 3:16 in the NST: "Dude was so into the earth that He gave his only Son, so if you just ride with Him you'll will never wipe out but surf forever." Imagine how this will scan in Mandarin.

Colin - Leave it to California to give us all the best...fresh vegetables and fruits (not to mention all the fruitcakes!), and now the New Surfers Translation. It makes one wish the fifth-century Anglo-Saxon language our ancestors spoke had never evolved into modern English! But I enjoy your humor nevertheless. --Hank | ||||||
