for the modern versions. It is quite obvious that the Protestant churches have cooperated with Rome to replace the very Bible, which has been responsible for bringing them into existence, with other Bibles, which are approved by Rome. In Section IV to follow, we shall see how one of the formerly most ardent of Protestant denominations has co-operated with Rome in her grand plan to discredit the Protestant Bible and in the process has turned to corrupted versions which are now being used to negate and even remove the very basis of its distinctive beliefs! 8
BATTLE OF THE BIBLES 2D H. H. MEYERS Section Four Chapters Twenty-Five to Twenty-Eight The Ecumenical Trap "It is certainly a remarkable circumstance that so many of the Catholic readings in the New Testament, which the Reformation and early post-Reformation times were denounced by Protestants as corruptions of the pure text of God's Word, should now ... be adopted by Revisers of our time-honoured English Bibles" (Edgar, "Bibles of England", pp 347, 348). Chapter Twenty-Five Unheeded Warnings As Protestant publications increasingly contained articles by scholars and ministers who used modern Bible versions for reference and general purposes, so a number of the Evangelical churches began to express concerns. In the year 1955, The Eye Opener Publishers of Junction City Oregon published a book by J.A. Ray, "God Wrote Only One Bible", which to the author's knowledge continues to be published. This book, which champions the Received Text, contains a valuable table of forty-four Bible Versions which are tested by 162 scriptures selected by Ray for comparative purposes. Another strong scholarly defence of the Protestant Bible was made by Dr Edward F. Hills in his book, "The King James Version Defended", published in several editions between 1956 and 1984 by The Christian Research Press of Des Moines, Iowa. Perhaps no other publisher has in recent times, more consistently warned Christians of Scriptural perversions than Grand Rapids International Publications" of Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1970 and through into the 'eighties it has published Dr D.O. Fuller's edited books, which include, "Which Bible?" "True or False" and "Counterfeit or Genuine". Very nearly half of Fuller's popular book, "Which Bible?" consists of an abridged republication of B. G. Wilkinson's Our Authorised Bible Vindicated" (1930). This is the book which, we recall, was rejected by the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Because Wilkinson had to publish his book privately, it had received little exposure outside his own denominational fraternity. In fact, it is easy to believe that Seventh-day Adventist authors and publishers went out of their way to nullify Wilkinson's warnings. We have seen how Wilkinson traced the history of the New Testament text and convincingly proved that the pedigree of the Received Text went right back to the apostolic era. Furthermore, he refuted the idea that the older manuscripts must necessarily be purer by providing documentary evidence that the most serious corruptions of Scripture took place in the second century AD. Yet, in 1947, the Seventh-day Adventist's own "Review and Herald Publishing Association" published a book which entirely ignored Wilkinson's argument as well as 1
