"Since the great advance in manuscript evidence has only amplified with greater numerical preponderance that text-type deliberately chosen by Erasmus, Stephanus, and Beza, they would chose no differently today in any major respects" ("The Majority Text: Essays and Reviews in the Continuing Debate" 1987, pp 139, 140). Could we suggest to our readers that, when offered this red herring, they counter by asking a simple question: "Which manuscripts?" We have already acquainted ourselves with the so-called better manuscripts on which most modern versions are based, They are held to be none other than the survivors of Constantine's Origen-impregnated Bible, the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. We could further embarrass our proponents of Rome's tainted Bibles by asking why the KJV was allowed to reign for over two and a half centuries unchallenged by Protestantism until, in 1870, these two survivors of Constantine's Bible were suddenly exalted to a place of dictatorship in the work of revision? Says Dean Burgon: "These are two of the least trustworthy documents in existence ... [they] are, demonstrably, nothing else but specimens of the depraved class thus characterised" ("Revision Revised", pp 315, 317). Yet another question is pertinent. Why does the tide of modern revision flow relentlessly Romeward? An appropriate answer is to be found in the Protestant New Brunswick review of August, 1954, which has turned out to be quite prophetic. Speaking of that traitor to the Church of England, Cardinal Newman who along with his co-traitor, Cardinal Wiseman, engineered the fraud of revision, we read: "He had left the leprosy of Popery cleaving to the very walls of Oxford, to infect the youth of England through an unknown future" (p 322). And then, speaking of Dr Schaff, the American reviser, and his apostate position adopted in his "History of the Apostolic Church" "The positions he has already advanced, are such as to lay the whole truth and grace of God, and the whole liberty, hope, and salvation of the human race, at the feet of the Roman Papacy" (ibid p 325). It is this phenomenon that caused Wilkinson to observe: "This so-called Bible revision has become one of the deadliest of weapons in the hands of those who glorify the Dark Ages and who seek to bring Western nations back to the theological thinking which prevailed before the Reformation" ("Our Authorised Bible Vindicated", p 103). No wonder Cardinal Wiseman exulted over the way Rome had used Protestants to insinuate the Catholic Vulgate into their very own Bible! Now that we have a clear insight into Rome's grand plan for the subversion of Protestantism, there is no need to consent with awesome wonderment to the learned scholars who tritely refer to the "original Greek text" in order to substantiate Bible renderings which are in conflict with the Received Text. Rather, we should ask them to identify their Greek text. Do not be surprised if they should reveal their ignorance of the fact that there have been two streams of New Testament texts throughout the history of post-apostolic Christendom - the uncorrupted Word of God and the philosophical corruptions of man. Do not be surprised if they have never heard of Dr Burgon and his devastating exposure of the fraud of revision. His "Revision Revised", is a monumental work which modern textual critics prefer to ignore rather than expose their ignorance 20
while making a futile attempt to gainsay it. The mere mention of this book in the schools of Babylon would be to risk giving the show away. And, lastly, would the proponents of Rome's interconfessional Bibles, please explain why, in an age of such a plethora of "better Bible versions", Christianity, generally has steadily been losing ground, while Protestantism, that generator of Western civilisation, has become a spent force! Does this give us a clue as to why Western society is itself in serious decline? The issue is clear. If we accept the Bibles that contain Rome's input, then we are acknowledging Rome's claim that she has ever been the custodian of God's Holy Word. In that case, we must accept her as God's favoured true church. Therefore, the Reformation was a great mistake and we should all welcome back the Dark Ages. On the other hand, if we accept the Bibles preserved from apostolic times by such people as the Waldenses and the Albigenses as handed on to the Reformers, then we must reaffirm the Protestant stand on God's Word alone and reject the apostles of ecumenism and their interconfessional Bibles.
