The Plastic Bible - Moriel Ministries

Returning to 2 Peter 2:2…
… because of them the way of the
truth will be maligned…
The Gospel will be maligned. And if anyone
maligns the Gospel, it is Rick Warren.
Warren’s advice is, “If you see people
living immorally or taking drugs, don’t tell
them to repent, just tell them to just get Jesus
in their life and God will clean their life
up.” Well, if people do not repent they do
not get saved. He is confusing sanctification
with justification. The way of truth is
certainly maligned.
…in their greed…
A Plastic Bible
Warren’s books have sold a lot of copies
yet I do know this, they are doing something
with the Bible that Peter says was going
to happen in the Last Days – plastois
logos. A plastic Bible.
You know, it began with Formica®.
They could make Formica® look like mahogany.
They could make Formica® look
like rosewood or pine, whatever you liked.
They could make Formica® look like it.
And it was good quality. Then they found
cheaper ways to do it called Masonite®. But
then through the miracles of polymer chemistry
they found out they can do it with plastics.
You can make plastics look like metal.
You can even make plastics as strong as
wood. You can use plastics as replacement
for alloys in manufacturing components
for airplanes and automobiles. It looks
and feels like the real thing, but it is not.
Today we are faced with the same
thing. The Purpose Driven Life looks
Christian and biblical, but it is not. It is better
called “Purpose Driven Lie.”
Just as mahogany is mahogany , Formica®
is Formica® is Formica®, and Masonite®
is Masonite®, so too Scripture is
Scripture and paraphrases are not the genuine
article and never can be.
The Message, The Century Bible, and
the new versions which rewrite Scripture as
psychology appear to be the Word of God,
they misrepresent themselves as being the
Word of God, they even call themselves
the Word of God, but they are not. Scripture
is Scripture and plastic is plastic.
But there were false prophets
also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the
Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves
swift destruction. – 2 Peter 2:1

When Was the Bible Really Written? FOXNews.com
By decoding the inscription on a 3,000-year-old piece of pottery, an Israeli professor has
concluded that parts of the Bible were written hundreds of years earlier than suspected.
The pottery shard was discovered at excavations at Khirbet Qeiyafa near the Elah
Valley in Israel – about 18 miles west of Jerusalem. Carbon-dating places it in the 10th
century BC, making the shard about 1,000 years older than the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Professor Gershon Galil of the University of Haifa (http://bible.haifa.ac.il/english/index-eng.htm)
deciphered the ancient writing, basing his interpretation on the use of verbs
and content particular to the Hebrew language. It turned out to be “a social statement, relating
to slaves, widows and orphans,” Galil explained in a statement from the University.
The inscription is the earliest example of Hebrew writing found, which stands in opposition
to the dating of the composition of the Bible in current research; prior to this discovery,
it was not believed that the Bible or parts of it could have been written this long ago.
According to Israeli news paper Haaretz (www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1141247.
html), current theory holds that the Bible could not have been written before the 6th century
B.C.E., because Hebrew writing did not exist until then.
English translation of the deciphered text:
1’ you shall not do [it], but worship the [Lord].
2’ Judge the sla[ve] and the wid[ow] / Judge the orph[an]
3’ [and] the stranger. [Pl]ead for the infant / plead for the po[or and]
4’ the widow. Rehabilitate [the poor] at the hands of the king.
5’ Protect the po[or and] the slave / [supp]ort the stranger.
