BBB:Correcting the Greek With the English Apostasy means, briefly, "to fall away from a standing position." It is characterized by one clear and lucid mannerism. The apostate professes to believe something he does not believe. Right now, while you are reading this, they are training "preacher boys" at Bob Jones, Tennessee Temple, Pensacola Christian College, and Baptist Bible College to openly profess to believe in a Book they do not believe in. This is for the purpose of occupying pulpits. Their forerunners in Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, Union, Colgate, and Crozier openly professed to believe in the Trinity--as a matter of fact, they had to do this when they were ordained--in order to get into pulpits. They got in, and, of course, they believed nothing of the kind. That is what an APOSTATE is. In America, you have two kinds of Fundamentalists: Bible believing Fundamentalists who believe that the Bible they read, teach, and preach is the Holy Scriptures--the living words of the living God; and apostate Fundamentalists who use and preach the same Book, without believing it. They "call it" the "Word of God"--meaning it contains a message from God. (See "The Last Grenade" for 280 pages of documented evidence.) The apostate is easy to spot; he USES the Greek to correct the English and the English to correct the GREEK, without believing either one. At BJU, for example, in order to con the suckers, they post a notice behind the pulpit (where the suckers can't read it) saying "Use only the KJV from this pulpit." This means that every speaker who spoke at BJU in the last thirty years got up and CORRECTED a Greek New Testament with a King James Bible on every verse that he quoted the entire time he was there, unless he deliberately stopped in his discourse, and corrected the Book he was "using" with something he didn't have in the pulpit. It means that when you read The Sword of the Lord and see the pretty little scriptural quotations throughout the paper, that the editor has put them in, knowing that not one single one of them is "SCRIPTURE." Curtis Hutson has already stated that "The Bible" is an unknown set of Greek manuscripts that he does not use in any pulpit. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," (2 Tim. 3:16). The latest con man's "gimmick" for covering up this obvious LYING, is to pretend that you are still a Bible believer as long as you "call" some translation "the scripture," or "the word of God." Most of the apostates resort to a statement by the King James translators in their Preface to PROVE that you can lie in public. This is SOP in the Alexandrian Cult. Appealing to "godly" men to justiy LYING is as SOP with an Alexandrian as a martini is to a drunk. Anyone who has read our Appendices on "The Pastoral Epistles" knows the lengths that an Alexandrian apostate will go to justify sin. They all have "AIDS" (Alexandrian Idiots Degrading Scripture). Those of us who BELIEVE the Book never have any pangs of conscience or qualms of indecision when we read or preach the AV text in public, or private. We know what we are reading. We are not really even "using" it. We are reading it. And we believe what we are reading, and expect our congregations to believe what we are reading. Not so with an Alexandrian like Bob Jones III, Custer, Panosian, Neal, Afman, Martin, Melton, Price, Hutson, Hudson, Waite, Kutilek, or Robert Scumner. These gentlemen are reading from a Book they "CALL" the "Word" of God, while not believing ANYTHING in it they disagree with, and they are giving you the impression that they believe it just like you do--WHEN THEY DON'T. Now then! These same men profess to be so interested in getting THE TRUTH out to you (so that you will not be "led astray" by "Ruckmanism" or "King James Onlyism") that they will go to ANY length to prove that if you don't believe what they believe (i.e., that you can lie when you use a Book you don't believe!) that you are involved in falsehood--an heretical "cult." Well now, bless my soul, you ungodly hypocrites! If you are that interested in getting the TRUTH out to people, and are that concerned that they be not "misled," why are you not correcting all the falsehood and errors in the AV text that you are preaching from, everytime you get in the pulpit? Are you telling us that it is "godly" to lie to people everytime you get in the pulpit as long as you "straighten them out" later in a classroom--IF they go to a school? That's the ticket, boys and girls; that's the ticket. ($$$) The Bible believer is a "heretic" for being HONEST. The Alexandrian passes off as a "Bible believer" because he is DISHONEST. That is the ticket. ($$$) But why waste your time with preaching? Let us come to the point. I will list the places where every man mentioned above (plus Provan, Hymers, Dell, Jennings, Sherman, Combs, Horton, Hobbs, Foxx, Farstad, Hodges, and Walker, et al.) lied EVERYTIME he read the AV in public, unless he stopped on the average of TWO times per verse and "corrected the English with the original Greek." If he did not do this when he READ these passages, he deliberately deceived his audience, classroom, or congregation into believing they were getting the truth when they were not. And you understand we have no "tensions" about this. When we read the Book in the same places we knew we were giving them the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We don't have to "call" anything we are reading anything; God already "called" it (2 Tim. 3:15-17). Here are some places. I list twenty-seven out of more than four hundred. John 9:13--There is no "was" in any Greek text. There is no past tense (brought) in any Greek text. John 8:21--The article is in every Greek text (ho), and is translated nowhere. There are two "I's" in the verse ("I," "I am going"), and only one is translated in any version. Matthew 1:18--There is no "with child" in any set of any Greek manuscripts from any copies of any Greek in any "family" or "text type." Matthew 6:1--There are no Greek copies or Greek manuscripts that say "heaven." They all have the word in the plural ("heavens"). Matthew 7:21--Same thing. There is no singular "heaven" in ANY Greek manuscripts. Matthew 8:23--There is no "when" (Greek: pote, hos, en to) in any Greek manuscript of any copy of any family of any "text type," ANYWHERE. Matthew 9:1--Same construction, and this time the AV left out the "when." First Corinthians 8:1--There is no "touching" in ANY Greek manuscript on earth. The word for "touching" is "haptomai," or "prospsauo," or "pselaphao." The word "peri" means "concerning." Philippians 1:12--There is no "fallen out" in any Greek manuscripts used by any Greek teacher to correct any translation with. The word is "proskopen," which means "to beat" or to "stumble." Hebrews 10:11--The word is "dunatai" ("never at any time is it able") not "can." Furthermore, ALL Greek texts are in error on the number, for dunatai is a SINGULAR and the subject "sacrifices" (Greek: an accusative, "THUSIAS") is a plural. All the apostates correct the Greek with the English. James 5:12--There is an article before "any other" in ALL the Greek texts (ton heteron). It is not read from ANY pulpit where ANYONE reads the "AV" and "calls" it "the Word of God." Hebrews 10:19--There is no "holiest" in any set of Majority Text copies or ANY TR set of copies. "Ton hagion" is "of the HOLIES" (genitive plural). "Having therefore brethren, boldness into the entering of the holies." Hebrews 4:13--Every Greek copy of every Majority Text (or TR "Greek text") says "enopion," which means "before," or "in front of." All people who "USE" the AV while "calling it" the Word of God correct the Greek with the English at this point. Hebrews 2:6--An interrogative of place "where?" "what place?" not "A CERTAIN PLACE." The word for a "place," as a certain place, is "topos" or "entopios." Titus 3:2--The "speak evil" of the AV is clearly (in ANY set of Greek manuscripts, from any family--including ALL the "majority text" manuscripts) "NEITHER BLASPHEMERS" (Greek: "medena blasphemeian"). Titus 1:2--Anyone knows that "God that cannot lie" is correcting all Greek texts with the English, for all Greek texts say "ho apseudes Theos"--"the unlying (or unfalse) God." Second Timothy 3:1--There is no "come" in the verse. The word for "come" is not "enstesontai." That word means "present," or "at hand," or to "stand close to." Every time these apostate Fundamentalists corrected the Greek (teknon) with the English ("son"--Matt. 9:2, 21:28; Mark 2:5, 13:12; Luke 2:48, 1:35; 1 Tim. 1:2, 1:18; 2 Tim. 1:2, 2:1; and Titus 1:4), they forgot to tell you that the word for "son" was "huios"--NOT "teknon." Now! There are twenty-five cases (with more coming up!) where every apostate Fundamentalist in America gave you a FALSE reading which he did not believe, in order to convince you that he was a Bible believer. When YOU gave the same reading--believing it was correct in the English--that sorry, low down, stinking, two-faced reprobate (and I say that with Christian charity) called you a "Ruckmanite" (Hymers), or a "heretic" (Hudson), or a cult (Bob Jones III). There doesn't exist on this earth a more two-faced, double-tongued, false manifestation of hypocrisy unless you went to the Vatican in Rome to find it. The man used YOUR BOOK that you believed and made you think he believed it when he read it, while knowing all the information I listed above--AS I HAVE KNOWN IT FOR THIRTY-SIX YEARS-- and still refused to give you the truth on it. Apostasy. That is apostasy, per se: To profess to believe what you do NOT believe. When I read the AV on any passage given above, I read it with the utmost confidence that what I am giving my students and church members is the PURE, unadulterated words of God, exactly as God intended for them to have them. If they disagree with "the Greek text" (see above), I simply discard "the Greek text." The apostates RETAIN the Greek text, without believing it, and then USE the English text without believing it either. ($$$) "The love of money Is the root of all evll" (King James ONLY: 1 Tim. 6:10). Hell will freeze over before God will send revival or spiritual refreshing through the student bodies of any school in America where that kind of GODLESS (not "godly") HYPOCRISY is being practised. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked," even if the Book is, and the young men who believe it. You won't fool God Almighty, you old two-faced, hypocritical, false-tongued apostate, and you won't fool someone else either. You won't fool a man who has READ everything you've read and more (see "Much Learning Doth Make Thee Mad" in The Christians' Handbook of Biblicl Scholarship"). You won't fool old junk yard dog Pete Ruckman, SN 0927153.
