A Grievous Wolf - Time for Truth

The Coverdale Bible has “i(n) hope.”
The Wycliffe, Tyndale, Great, Bishops’, Geneva Bibles have “by hope” in agreement with the AV1611.
On balance, the witnesses for and against the AV1611 reading “by hope” in Romans 8:24 show that on
this occasion, Spurgeon aligned himself with the wrong crowd, namely the NIV, TNIV, 2011NIV,
NKJV, NJB, NWT, HCSB etc. and Grievous Wolf.
62. Was R. A. Torrey “lying” when he said the following in 1907 – “No one, so far as I know, holds that the
English translation of the Bible is absolutely infallible and inerrant. The doctrine held by many is that
the Scriptures as originally given were absolutely infallible and inerrant, and that our English translation
is a substantially accurate rendering of the Scriptures as originally given” [Difficulties in the Bible,
page 17].
Yes.

Unholy Church! p 13. It describes the heresy of ‘originals-onlyism’ in the modern era. This heresy
stemmed from individuals who were “Traitors, heady, highminded” 2 Timothy 3:4.
1881, Year of Infamy
1881 was a year of infamy. Westcott and Hort published the RV in 1881. That same year, Professors
Archibald Hodge and Benjamin Warfield of Princeton Theological Seminary attacked the Holy Bible -
by appealing to the lost ‘originals.’ In The Presbyterian Review, 1881, Vol. 2, No. 6, pp 237-8, they
said this.
“All the affirmations of Scripture…are without any error, when the ipsissima verba [the precise words]
of the original autographs are ascertained and interpreted in their natural and intended sense.”
That is, only the ‘originals,’ which you don’t have, are God’s words and only the ‘scholars’ can tell you
what God really said. So ‘scholarship’ is now the final authority for Protestants, just as the Church is
the final authority for Catholics. Today, Christian fundamentalists proclaim the heresy of ‘scholarship
onlyism’ or ‘originals-onlyism’ from pulpits up and down the land. Why no revival? You have the answer.

Abridged pp 15-16. It consists of the testimonies of men who spoke unequivocally of the infallibility,
inerrancy and indeed inspiration of the 1611 Holy Bible, regardless of whether they were for or against
it.
“Give me that Book” - Bunyan, Wesley, Spurgeon, Ryle, Shaw
This is from John Bunyan, The Immortal Dreamer, by W. Burgess McCreary: “A university man met
Bunyan on the road near Cambridge. Said he to Bunyan, “How dare you preach, not having the original
Scriptures?” “Do you have them - the copies written by the apostles and prophets?” asked Bunyan.
“No,” replied the scholar. “But I have what I believe to be a true copy of the original.” “And I,” said
Bunyan, “believe the English Bible to be a true copy too.””
John Charles Ryle was the first Church of England Bishop of Liverpool.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Ryle.
In the 1870s, he wrote a book entitled The Christian Leaders of the Last (i.e. 18 th ) Century, about the
great revival preachers like Whitefield and Wesley.
He said this about these preachers and the 1611 Holy Bible, his emphases.
“The spiritual reformers of the last century taught constantly the sufficiency and supremacy of Holy
Scripture. The Bible, whole and unmutilated, was their sole rule of faith and practice. They accepted
all its statements without question or dispute. They knew nothing of any part of Scripture being uninspired.
They never allowed that man has any “verifying faculty” within him, by which Scripture statements
may be weighed, rejected or received. They never flinched from asserting that there can be no
error in the Word of God; and that when we cannot understand or reconcile some part of its contents,
