We sincerely need your help to support the battle for the
inspired, inerrant, verbal, plenary, preserved, Hebrew, Aramaic,
and Greek Words of God underlying our King James Bible.
We have a plan, but we need help to accomplish it. Please
read carefully the reasons for the battle and the help that is
needed, which follows:
THE BATTLE
False
Views About the Greek New Testament Variants According to
Three Current Books By Fundamentalist Leaders
1.
QUOTES FROM
Bible
Preservation and the Providence of God
By Bob Jones
University's
Chairman of the Ancient Languages Department, Dr. Samuel Schnaiter, et al.
1.
page 31: [Quoting with approval]: "Warfield goes on to point
out that
the text of Scripture is
substantially
unaffected
by the variations."
2.
page 105: "Recall that there is
only
a small proportion of passages where manuscripts
substantially disagree."
3.
page 120: "The
variants have minimal importance to preservation because
they are
comparatively few, . . ."
4.
page 247: "In spite of all the uproar, our first five chapters
stressed that
these
differences affect very few passages, . . ."
5.
page 250: "Greek
manuscripts are not the main cause of differences among
translations, and even language development
accounts
for only a
few dozen differences."

QUOTES FROM
God's
Word in Our Hands--The Bible Preserved For Us
Edited,
written, and endorsed by many of Bob Jones University's
Board members, Graduates, Teachers, and Friends
6.
page 152: Mincy wrote: "The happy conclusion for
the one who takes the time to examine them is that
there is
very little
difference between these texts [the Alexandrian,
Byzantine, and Received Texts]."
7.
page 212: Quoting Dan Wallace with approval, Davey wrote:
"These differences are weighed against one another, ‘these
differences are so minor that they neither show up
in translation or affect exegesis.'"
8.
page 294: Bernard wrote: "Nothing of the autographs is
lost. Everything is preserved among the copies.
What
differences there may be among the copies
are minimal
and solvable."
3. QUOTES FROM
From
the Mind of God to the Mind of Man
Edited,
written, and endorsed by many of Bob Jones University's
Board members, Graduates, Teachers, and Friends
9.
page 85: [Minnick quoted with approval]: "Westcott
and Hort themselves believed that
there is
actually very
little difference between the two major families of
manuscripts.
10.
page 85: [Minnick quoted with approval]: "Hort's
estimate means that if all of
the
substantial variation between the families was grouped
together in one place it
would
combine to occupy
less than one
page of my entire Testament."
The
Need for TRUTH About the New Testament
Greek Manuscript Variations
In view of
the preceding
ten
grossly erroneous statements on the subject of New Testament
Greek Manuscript Differences, I appeal to you to help our
Bible For Today ministry to re-print Dr. Jack Moorman's book
entitled: "8,000
Differences Between the Textus Receptus and the Nestle-Aland NT
Greek Texts."
It is 536 pages in all.
If these Fundamentalist
brethren are wrong on this very important question,
how many
other major points can they be wrong in this battle for
our Bible? With this book available as a hardback
book, it could be put into the hands of hundreds of those who
now have fallen in line with those favoring the Greek Critical
Text.
Within
these 8,000 differences in the Critical Text, there are also at
least 356 doctrinal passages which are in ERROR.
HELP
NEEDED--THANK YOU !
Can you
help us?
The
printing will cost about $10,000.00 for 2,000 copies
delivered.
