- Affected Teaching
- Matthew 27:35 is a fulfillment of the Prophecy of Psalm 22:18. (Psa
22:18 KJV) They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
By removing the twenty words in the Greek which in turn deletes the twenty
five English words, it denies the literal fulfillment of the prophecy of
Psalm 22 at the crucifixion of Christ. By removing the fulfilling part of
the verse, they are in essence, trying to convey to us that the Bible is not
a prophetic book and is incapable of being fulfilled. The crucifixion of
Christ had fulfilled about three hundred prophecies in one day. When any of
these are attacked by elimination, the verity of the event is truncated and
then the rest of the prophecies are open for attack.
-
- Where does it end? If biblical prophecies are questioned and eliminated,
then that begins to chip away at the supernatural character of the Bible.
The second century Gnostics and the modern theologians have attempted to
make the Bible just another secular religious book akin to the book of
Mormon or the Vedic writings. One of the greatest hopes the Christian has is
to read the many prophecies which have come to pass, which piles hope upon
hope for future prophecies to be fulfilled. When the unbelieving theologians
and publishers remove passages like this, they also make God out to be a
liar, in that He has not fulfilled the prophecies of Scripture. The modern
versions remove hope from the pages of holy writ but the King James Bible
retains it. Which would you rather have in your time of need? A Jehovah’s
Witness/Roman Catholic counterfeit version or the preserved Word of God?
