WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATORS CHANGING THE WORD OF GOD?

What is it with western Christian people and organizations, that at the first potential or real criticism from unbelievers, we dilute and corrupt the Pure Gospel of Christ? We even have well-known American Evangelical leaders and pastors calling each other racists and judgmental over the Doctrines of Grace and it is completely annoying!

Time after time, it is always the seemingly born-again, traditional organization or people who bend here, twist there and compromise other there. There is a new blow-up now in the Christian world out of something called the ELEPHANT ROOM, which an unlikely source birthed, for absolutely no reason. This will be discussed later in the coming week.

Of more concern, is the incredibly foolish move by the world’s premier Bible translators – WYCLIFFE – which is currently working on translating the Bible into 1500 different languages to reach the remaining 340 million of earth’s population, who do not have the Word in their own language.

Just as they were making progress into the moslem world and about to present a translation for those in Turkey, the Wycliffe people dropped the ball BIG TIME! In violation of a direct order from the LORD Himself, the latest offender of the Holy Spirit is unfortunately the WYCLIFFE Bible Translators!
Here is what the Lord Jesus said “ I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19 ESV)
This clear Biblically High Standard of transmitting the very Word of God is NOT to be violated. We have already had big controversies because of incorrect interpretations by both the Message and Living Bible paraphrases and the New International Version (NIV) mainstream version! Now comes Wycliffe trying not to offend followers of Islam! In both the online and book form of the Turkish translation released last August 2011, we now see a report in the past week or two, which is heating up big time!
In a slap at the Name and Essence of God, which we ourselves prayed through the month of January, Wycliffe changed the words SON OF GOD, MESSIAH and even God the Father to politically correct terms! If there ever was seeker-sensitive stupidity, it is this one! How dare these people bow down and compromise Jesus to these other people?!! Not just that, but they use the word Allah to describe God the Father, which is not theologically correct!Reports state “In the Turkish (Book) of Matthew

PERSECUTION COMES TO AMERICA (PART 1)

February 11th, 2012

Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

The people of God were never meant to be a part of this dying world system! That could not be more evident right now as we see the very tenets of religious liberty under attack in America. Some folks act as if this is new! There is nothing new about any of this!

Since Adam stood by and allowed his wife to be lied to and deceived by the serpent in Genesis 3, God’s Will has been under attack…and it has been for the past 6000 of our existence here on Planet Earth. The difference is: the gig is up and the devil is pulling a Pat Benatar (i.e. “Hitting us with his best shot”!)

We see events spinning out of control all over the world. In the past year alone, we have witnessed live on worldwide television the following: 1000’s killed in Tsunamis in Japan; earthquakes in Haiti and Tornadoes in Alabama and Joplin, Missouri among other catastrophic events. Even scarier is the collapse of almost every major financial system in this world – from the European Union to the United States.

This sort of thing does not happen in a vacuum. The seeds of disorder was planned long ago and executed in the past 70 years, for such a time as this. Go back to the late 1700’s and we see that a goal of those evil Jacobins, who created the French Revolution to do away with the church and the Bible was to spread that revolution to America. They even had a unit set up in New York city to do what one of its proponents, Voltaire, said was “to kill Christianity” and to make the “bible obsolete”!

George Washington and some other patriots were so alarmed, they put a stop to it.

Fast forward from the 1790’s to the late 1940’s. The post World War 2 prosperity in the West allowed those brave souls, who survived the awful Great Depression and the long World War, to let their guard down. Their children started looking for comfort and new things to amuse and fast cars and the easy life. Back then the great Chicago Preacher A. W Tozer and others in the Bible belt were warning about the loss of  our First Love – Jesus Christ. America would not listen, and began to play church.

Politicians and liberal judges from the lowest to the US Supreme Court waited their turn, until the weakened body of Christ were no longer able to be stand firm….and then gradually we have what we have today. They removed prayer and the Bible from school and the entire public arena.

Today, the American church has decided to fight back as the ‘giver of modern day life’ – the Government has decided to start telling church-based organizations just how they will operate. The latest outrage over the government-ordered mandated contraceptives and abortions pills (RU486) is the first major thing to strike a nerve with the general public. Before this, all kinds of persecution of Christians had begun in the United States military and gone on, completely unnoticed by most.
Just in the past two years or so, the following has come out of the now politicized Pentagon:
 Rev. Franklin Graham was kicked out and disinvited from a National Day of Prayer service inside the Pentagon in 2010 because of his solid stance for Christ!
–  Rev. Franklin Graham runs the worldwide charitable SAMARITAN’S PURSE, which gave over 8 million shoeboxes full of gifts to poor children of all races and religion around the world. This past December, the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs kicked Samaritan’s Purse off the Campus because two atheists complained!  Yet this same Air Force Academy has given witches some high ground to build and conduct their Pagan rituals!!!
–  US Chaplains are forbidden from praying in the Name of Jesus.
–  Last fall, the brass at Walter Reed Hospital, the largest military one where wounded military from Iraq and Afghanistan are treated, sent down a written memo banning ALL bibles from Reed! After it was discovered and some US congressman started condemning the ban from the floor of Capitol Hill, the US government took back their memo and allowed families to bring bibles for their wounded sons and daughters again.
–  Just two weeks ago, all Army chaplains were banned by the government from reading a letter from the Catholic bishops, where the bishops spoke against the fact the church was being made to buy and give employees medications for free, which violate the First Amendment of the US Constitution!
