What is our Motive ?

Simply to proclaim truth, try to be accurate, and make sure that people understand what interference they

could be having spiritually, why their spiritual walk may have no spiritual power, and how some of the wrong

versions can be interferring (rather than helping) their spiritual journey and personal relationship with the God they claim to care about.

None of us are perfect, but there is a difference between "not being perfect" and being tried for Nazi War Crimes because you were High Priest to Hitler during World War II, like Gerhard Kittel.

There is a difference between "not being perfect" and saying that Genesis is an invented text, that the God of the Bible does not exist, that Jehovah and Elohim are DIFFERENT Gods (which Biblically - is blasphemy). Everyone is entitled to a) their opinion and b) make up their own mind.

But Rudolph Kittel who denied the Inspiration of the Old Testament many many times, and in writing, and in his books, (We offer KITTEL's books in Ebook PDF Format for those who want the PROOF) CLAIMED to be a theologian. Everytime you read the Old Testament in most Modern Versions in English, you are reading the work of corrupted translators and corrupted translations.

Yes, it would be LESS painfull to think that everyone who is Evangelical tries to be honest and theologically accurate. But Kittel - both of them - did not like the Christian God, the God of the Old Testament. Both were occultists, and both were NOT Christians. Gerhard Kittel has strong ties to the German Bible Society, advocated very harsh and repressive measures for the "crime" of being Jewish. That is very very wrong !

And the German Bible Society and UBS and Most Bible Societies today have accepted to use corrupted translations. Much of the funding of the UBS comes from the American Bible Society. When you buy and use versions of the Bible that are based on the work of Kittel (which did not happen until after 1910), you are promoting false versions, false translations and false doctrine. But the worse is that by using them, you are affecting your own spiritual walk, and your own spiritual discernment.  Much of the New Testament is simply the Old Testament Requoted. Therefore the contents of the New Testament are VERY MUCH affected by what is in your Old Testament. IF your Old Testament is corrupted, this will affect your New Testament ALSO.

Bible Translations long ago STOPPED being accomplished by Bible-believing sincere and serious scholars who were only committed to sound doctrine and the real transmission of the accurate Word of God.

Bible Translations today - and almost all versions issued in the past 75 years, have been the results of Publishing companies hiring their own translators and then changing the words and the internal content in order to try to retain their profits through copyright over their new word-altered CHANGED Bibles.

Between 1881 and 1945, a great change took place at institutions that supported so-called Christianity. Many of them began to change from the goals of advocating true Christian Doctrine to the goal of advocating a human-centered system of global government. That is true because THEY say so, not because we affirm this. We are only agreeing that the goal of the World Council of Churches is what THEY say it is.

Most of Christianity has been changed and altered, and that is why a lot of it, in the institutions of the West, have been corrupted and many institutions, including those that promote Modern Versions of the Bible, have no spiritual power. Most evangelical young people are leaving their own churches because they KNOW that there is NO spiritual power. The problem is in the versions. Sound Versions result in sound doctrine. UN-sound versions do NOT result in Sound Doctrine.

This is difficult to talk about. It is difficult to confront. It is difficult to do research on this. It is much easier to just say that there is not a problem. It is much easier to live in denial. But the result is being led even further astray. If you have not read this, if you had not stumbled on this page, maybe you would have been happy living in denial.  But from this time on, God knows what you read, He knows whether or not you are really committed to Him, and whether or not you are truly seeking HIM with all of your heart, and trying to do the right thing.

We have no desire to be of disservice to anyone, even though we understand that we can't please everyone all the time. It is up to Each of us - on an individual basis - to determine how we respond to the information and to the leads provided.

If the information is true that Modern Versions have been corrupted, then that deserves to be exposed. Having a knee-jerk reaction, or simply labeling us, will not make the arguments or the Evidence go away.

You will notice there will be great pressure to get you to NOT do research in this area. People who are spiritually weak or who are Fake evangelicals, do NOT want you to think for yourself, or ask the hard questions. Don't rock the boat, fit in, conform, stop asking questions, don't think for yourself, can't you just go along with the major religious leaders and simply be nice and take a little mark on your right hand or forehead ?

Most people are totally unprepared for what is happening. But the good news is that GOD, yes GOD, will give you the strength to find the answers, and the courage to handle them, if you truly seek HIM. These are days when many are deceived. That does not happen by accident. It takes many false assumptions, many small errors, in order to lead people astray.

If you are not asking tough questions, then are you hanging around those who ALSO are avoiding hard questions ?  When you ask hard questions, many people WANT YOU to be quiet. But the consequences

are yours, not theirs. If they cared about you and your true spiritual welfare, wouldn't they WANT you to ask the questions and then have your PEACE OF MIND, that at least you are being told the Truth ?

If you think that the global situation will simply improve on its own, if you think that things are going to get easier in the West, if you think that we will all simply magically graduate to a higher plane of existence, then think happy thoughts and may you be right. But if you live as though the Word of God does not matter, then expect a few surprises.  God places what He wrote in the Bible for His Sovereign reasons, yes, because HE is God and wants us to realize that WE are Not (Shocking as that is to some people).

IF you have questions or comments and if you are really seeking truth, we are always willing to talk. We do not have all the answers, though we are thankful that others shared some of these answers and truth with us.

The Real Question is what are you going to do with the information that was presented in this article:

Is the Information True ?

Is the Information Accurate ?

Is the Information documented ?

Do I - before God - have a responsibility if I am a Christian to accept and act on the information in this article ?

Am I comfortable in the knowledge, that some leaders under the guise of clarifying the text of the Bible, are actually changing that text, and changing MY understanding of what God wants to share with me through His Holy Word, the Old Testament and the New Testament ?

Do I understand that these "small" changes number from the hundreds to the THOUSANDS depending on which Modern Versions I use, and that these changes serve to cut away the clarity and the specific understanding found in the Greek New Testament, that these new modern versions are preventing me from understanding ?

Do I understand that most of these new Modern Versions were not developed because there was a genuine need, but because the teams of Bible Translators were Hired by PUBLISHING companies who are eager to make a profit on the Word of God, which remains the Number ONE bestseller every week of every year, and that these Publishers decided to cash in ?

Do I understand that the problem was that if these Bible Adjusters and Correctors did NOT make the changes that they chose to, that they would not be able to claim copyright protection, and therefore they would not be able to make a financial Profit from their new versions ?

Do I understand that there are Spiritual Forces that want to prevent me from having GREATER spiritual understanding about God, but that God himself is always in MORE of a hurry than I am, for Me to get to know HIM ?

Do I realize what my personal state of preparation will be, within me, when Islam becomes the Dominant Religion in the United States, as it is already in Europe, and how I will personally be required to defend my Faith, by argument and persuasion, using knowledge of the Bible and of History and of Christianity, and that God will rightly hold me accountable because I am claiming to be His Child and a personal follower of Jesus Christ ?

In view of these facts, should I try to set aside more time for the study of the Word of God, and more time for the study of History and the true history of the Christian Church, and to learn about how other Christians in the past, actually learned to have and to gain GREAT spiritual strength ?

If no one reaches out to help prepare me for the coming challenges, whose job is it STILL for me to be prepared to answer these challenges and questions ?
