Excuses

M A N Y   E X C U S E   T H E   T A M P E R I N G

PROVEN – The Greek New Testament 'words' of God, found in the Traditional text of the Holy Bible, were corrupted in 1881. The results of that now appear in new English language Bible versions except one; that is, the Authorized Version. Yet many Christians give multiple excuses for the troubling changes. However, would those excuses apply to the following?

 Love Letters 

Love letters from your sons, daughters, parents, or loved-ones.
If a stranger took your personal love letters and changed some of the words in them, omitting, rearranging, transposing, and substituting some of them without justification, saying, "...the letters read better this way, no harm done!" Would you excuse the tampering?

Last Will and Testament

If a stranger took the Last Will and Testament of your parents without your consent and changed some words in it, omitting, rearranging, transposing and substituting some of them without justification saying, "...the context and the meaning are the same." Would your family excuse the tampering?

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Or how about taking Shakespeare's classic play, "Romeo and Juliet" then adapting, updating, and changing the words in it for a truer meaning, and better sounding more modern words...Romano, Romano! Are you there? Would you excuse this?

2 + 2 = ?  
​Is it 3 or 4 or 5?

Would you say everyone can decide for themselves which is correct as long as it is within reason? Would you say 4 is okay but it is outdated; precise, but hard to understand? Besides, no one wants this anymore since there are others just as good? Or would you say 3 and 5 are more modern, easier to read, popular and close enough to 4 to be acceptable? 
​

Do You See the Point?

If we would not accept changes to Love Letters, a Will, or Shakespeare, why are we making excuses for the changes made to the 'words' of God?

​Close enough is not good enough!

2+2 can only equal 4!
