May the spirit of God deliver us from
any strong delusion, and keep us in the alleviating reality of the
truth, specially at this Laodicean hour.
'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing cometh by the word of
God.' (Romans x.)
Instead of revising "forward" towards modernism and employing modern
scholarship, textual criticism, and the like; it has been my
intention to go "back" and restore the pure message from a proven
root. Yea, a root that was tried in the fire like gold and grew to
immense proportions in likeness of a great tree yielding it's fruit
in due season. For it's history of good fruit speaks for itself.
Therefore, I believe that only when we allow the witness of the
spirit of truth in our hearts to have the last word regarding
translation, can we then come to the truth or reality of the matter.
'Study to shew thyself laudable unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, dividing the word of truth justly.' Second Timothy ij.
Diligence and great reverence to God must be taken when studying the
Scriptures; like those noble of Berea in Acts xvij. 'which received
the word with all diligence of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily whether those things were even so.' And it must 'BEREAD' in
mind that even if we were to all learn the original tongue to
perfection and could obtain a flawless manuscript of the original
text, there would still be a humanly insurmountable language barrier
between us and the truth that can only be bridged by the spirit of
God.
