"No thank you Satan"

[webofevil]

Of all the tribulations that have faced Christianity through the ages, surely the greatest has to be the modernisation of the spelling of one of the translations of its holy book:

This particular edition of the Cambridge Bible that calls itself a King James Bible is not genuine. IT’S A COUNTERFEIT! It’s not the Bible of my forefathers!

Here are some of the changes I located: Asswaged has been changed to assuaged. Basons has been changed to basins. Chesnut has been changed to chestnut. Cloke has been changed to cloak. Enquire has been changed to inquire. Further has been changed to farther. Jubile has been changed to jubilee. Intreat has been changed to entreat. Morter has been changed to mortar. Ought has been changed to aught, and rereward has been changed to rearward.

Brother Nic, why get so upset? These are just minor changes in spelling. Well maybe they are, but have you never read “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?” You see I believe God wrote the Bible through sinful men. I believe God copied the Bible through sinful men. I believe God translated the Bible through sinful men, and I believe God edited (purified) the Bible through sinful men. So therefore I believe God gave us the exact words in the exact order He wanted us to have them in. If that’s the case then He spelled the words exactly the way He wanted to spell them, and gave them to us in a pure language, and that language is the standard text of the King James Bible. This is the Bible that has stood the test of time without any editing whatsoever ... Once you modernize spelling, change capital letters to lower case letters and add hyphens, you are changing the standard text in order to please modern society ...

One thing a lot of them do is change the spelling of words that end with the letters o-u-r to the more modern American spelling of o-r ... Now the very worst of this battle of o-u-r vs o-r comes when dealing with the only begotten Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The modern day counterfeiters have changed Saviour to Savior. They have given us a six-letter Savior in place of a seven-letter Saviour. In Bible numerics seven is the number of completeness, purity, and spiritual perfection. On the other hand six is the number of man which is earthly not heavenly. Everyone has heard of 666. It has a bad connotation and is not highly esteemed in Bible numerics.

The seven-letter Saviour is the only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The six-letter Savior is the son of perdition, the anti-Christ. He wants to be like the most High (Isaiah 14:14), but not in a good way, but in an evil way. He is not a follower. He’s a counterfeiter. Therefore his final destination is the lake of fire. The new versions, along with the new age movement, and some of the King James Bible counterfeits are preparing the way for this six-letter so called Savior. That's the way he will spell his name, S-a-v-i-o-r not S-a-v-i-o-u-r. No thank you Satan.

Just . . . wow.
Speaking of "a little leaven," have a look at A Little Leaven. I've syndicated them at humourlesspigs because on the surface the things they post are hilarious, but they're posting them because they upset them, not because they find them funny. The comments give it all away.

Our High School pastor once told me & my brother (who was his roomate in college) that some pastor wrote or said that the fact that they made Jesus into a Pez Despenser was why He was great. I may not agree with our former high school pastor on certain minor things, nor do I entirely agree with my brother on certain things, but we all agreed that what that other pastor said was utter blasphemy.

It's rather like the dispensation of the Grace of God which was given to Paul, Ephesians 1:2, only less so.

I would LOVE a Jesus Pez dispenser!

They don't seem to mind bouncy castle Jesus too much.

To change the capital S in the word Spirit to a lower case s is an attack against the Godhead, the most powerful threefold cord in heaven and earth: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

There's something about the idea of an all-mighty being getting upset over capital letters that is just far too amusing...

My initial reaction was "Jeez", but then I realised that a four-letter Christ is probably tantamount to eating babies. Just remember, there's no "I" in "Jesus"!

I believe God edited (purified) the Bible through sinful men

But not these sinful men. A different bunch of sinful men. ... Glad we've got that cleared up.

there's no "I" in "Jesus" - there is in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

there's no "I" in "Jesus"!

No, that would be Jizz.
