Foreword
Many will
undoubtedly consider this book an abomination.
For it is true that a word has been added to the beginning of a passage
here and ther to make the pulse of the prose beat more smoothly, but they do
not understand what is written: For I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall
add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in
this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the
holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. [Revelation 22:18 KJV]
Furthermore, verses
from all over the New Testament have been rearranged to make it read like One
single person did indeed Author it all.
This is in opposition to those who want to believe that the Apostle Paul
authored this while the Apostle John authored that. No, there is no disputing that they placed
the words into written form, but the entire Bible was Authored by the true Word
of God, who truly is the Lord Jesus Chris.
For it is written: Above all, you must
understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own
interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men
spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. [2 Peter 1:20-21 NIV]
Besides, our
Heavenly Father’s Holy Scriptures were given to serve as written confirmation
of what He Himself wants to teach each individual. For it is written: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who
sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in
the prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the
Father and learns from Him comes to Me.” [John 6:44-45 NIV]
Sadly, it is the
same today as it was long ago. For it is
written: “You study the Scriptures diligently
because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very
Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” [John 5:39-40 NIV]
