"Faith does not come by hearing mans
opinion of God's word (there is no certainty, conviction, contrition, or conversion in
opinions), but rather faith comes by hearing God's word itself being
preached and
taught. It is important you
know (you are certain) that what you are hearing, reading, studying,
preaching, and
teaching is God's word.
"Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the God." Jesus quoting Deuteronomy 8:3
What eventually became entitled the Textus Receptus or the "received text" (1633) was first presented by Erasmus (Novum Instrumentum omne, 1516). It was compiled from several manuscripts from the 'Majority text,' i.e. the Byzantine (Syrian) text, which were a large number of manuscripts and fragments originally protected by the eastern church from the western church's (Roman Catholics church's) efforts to destroy them, and therefore were not accessible to the western world until after the 1453 conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire. By Christians fleeing from the east into the west, these guarded manuscripts were eventually accessible to western scholars. The significance of these manuscripts is that they are able to be compiled as one Greek source from which to be translated from, which brought preaching and teaching the Word of God "as is" back into the church, the Catholic sources being many varied sources (with major confliction in doctrine between them) which brought dialogue (men's opinions) into the "church."
Today there is a major move to confuse the Protestant Church and bring it back under Roman Catholic rule (the "ecumenical" movement). By discrediting the use of the Textus Receptus as God's Word, examining (and thus negating) the Word of God in the "light" of Gnostic text, the Protestant Church is being seduced, deceived, and manipulated, drawn away from the preaching and teaching of sound doctrine and into the dialoguing of mans opinions (through Textural Criticism).
The Alexandrian and Origen text (Gnostic texts) are the basis for almost all contemporary translations. Oregenes Adamantius 185-245 AD, was a Greek, Egyptian-born Gnostic writer, teacher, & mystic, who, with his contingent of scribes, synthesized philosophical teachings into the scriptures (which no longer made them God's word but rather the opinions of men, needing enlightened men thereon to interpret them, i.e. the same as some "expert" lawyer rewriting your will so that he can "interpret" (re-interpret) what you meant, to others, done for his financial gain and prestige, i.e. so that others would turn to him for advice, i.e. direction). These Gnostic texts, with their humanistic, philosophical base, have opened the churches and seminaries up to humanistic reasoning (higher criticism or vain speculations) and dialogue, with the opinions of men in control of the meaning of God and His Word. Almost all translations today carry this error (heresy). "
Quote from Dean Gotcher
Faith is believing that the word of God is absolute truth. When you have two different Greek texts and a whole bunch of new English translations this is confusion brought about by the Dragon. And it diminishes that faith which sees scripture as fact, not opinion of men about what God inspired men of old to write. And it fits right in to the dialectic of Marxism.
Benjamin Bloom, Transformational Marxist who wrote the two volume book on the Taxonomy
of Educational Goal Objectives, by which all teachers must be
certified, said "“We recognize the point of view that
truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and
fast truths which exist for all time and places.” (Benjamin Bloom, et
al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain)
"In the eyes of the dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for
all time, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx)
For Transformational Marxism and the dialectic mind there are no absolute truths and no absolute morals. Everything is relative and subject to dialogue within the dialectic process, with more emphasis on relationships and feelings than on truth or morals.
The present II Timothy type Christian community (II Timothy 3) does not follow Marx in his rejection of God, but it does make use of the dialectic procedure from Hegel and Marx
and refined by several American psychologists. In making use of the dialectic of Hegel and Marx as developed by the Transformational Marxists in this country, posing as psychologists and joined by some American psychologists, the II Timothy church is operating in Christian humanism.
