GURU OF THE CRITICAL TEXT - PART I

by
Scott Jones

As I stated in my prelude to this treatise, Witness To The Traditional Text, only the FEEBLE-MINDED could believe that the Critical Text and the "bibles" that are based on it are not Christologically and doctrinally diverse from the Bibles that are founded on the Traditional Text, as even the guru of the Critical Text and the modern "bibles" that are based on it unabashedly proclaimed, as noted in the quotation above -- one quotation among many, as we shall see. And anyone who can't see a CLEAR AGENDA, and a CLEAR PHILOSOPHY, right from the get-go in the quotation above, need not read any further, for the remainder of this treatise will be way over your head. In short, the next time you hear someone assert that there is no doctrinal difference between the Traditional Text and the Critical Text, know that you are dealing with a COMPLETE IGNORAMUS. Period.

Make no mistake, their own guru has just made fools (again) of those who assert that there is no Christological or doctrinal distinctions between the two texts, for the above statement -- and we haven't even warmed up yet with statements from Metzger -- indeed, the above statement makes the doctrinal divide so clear that anyone who can read kindergarten English or above can fathom it. Moreover, note the implicit admission by Metzger that the Reformers and the Puritans utterly rejected the text that Metzger presented to the Pope, thereby offering corroborating knowledge to the historical FACT that the Reformers and the Puritans utterly rejected the VERY SAME TEXT that modern "bibles" are based on, for the Critical Text that Metzger presented to the Pope is substantially the Latin Vulgate text rehashed, the SAME TEXT that the Reformers and the Puritans ABHORRED AND REJECTED, a truth which happens to be momentous on MANY levels, especially since there is not a SINGLE, SOLITARY significant variant extant today that wasn't known to the Reformers and Puritans in their day. Not one.

Accordingly, we will focus on two main prongs in this treatise, namely, what exactly IS the Critical Text, and why are quotations from Bruce Metzger significant?

Are You Going To Heaven?

Friend, YOU may have made a commitment to Jesus Christ, but unless you have EVIDENCE -- SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE -- unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU, by FILLING you with his Spirit, indeed, unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU by FILLING you with his Spirit, EXACTLY as described in the quotations noted in these two works on the FILLING of the Holy Spirit -- Part I, Part II -- then you will NEVER enter the kingdom of heaven, for if Jesus Christ has not borne witness to you HERE by FILLING you with his Spirit, neither will he bear witness to you THERE, when you stand before him at his judgment seat.

Consequently, I challenge every one of you, every one of you reading this right now, to SERIOUSLY EXAMINE YOURSELF, and be BRUTALLY HONEST with YOURSELF, for you can NEVER be FILLED with the Holy Spirit until you are BORN of the Holy Spirit in a MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- and you will NEVER be BORN of the Holy Spirit unless you are BRUTALLY HONEST about your condition [2 Corinthians 13:5]. Accordingly, I warn you again, if you cannot HONESTLY and LEGITIMATELY claim the EXPERIENCE of being FILLED with the Holy Spirit, EXACTLY as demonstrated in the quotations here -- Part I, Part II -- a FILLING which occurs IMMEDIATELY UPON the MOMENT of REGENERATION, then do something about it NOW, while you still can -- I say, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW, WHILE YOU STILL CAN -- for if you INSIST on DECEIVING YOURSELF, God not only will NOT STOP YOU, but God will actually ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY to FURTHER DECEIVE YOURSELF, and God will do this by imposing JUDICIAL BLINDNESS upon you, for God HATES LIES, and there is NO LIE that God HATES WORSE than the SELF-DECEIVING LIE, for the SELF-DECEIVING LIE is ROOTED IN PRIDE, and that is the very NATURE of wickedness and iniquity [2 Thessalonians 2:11, John 8:44, Matthew 11:25-26].

Have you ever FELT, have you ever EXPERIENCED, the MANIFEST POWER of the Holy Spirit SUPERNATURALLY INDWELLING YOU? If not, then never think of going to heaven, for you are not yet meet for heaven. And yet...

I tell you -- and I call Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to record against that day I stand before the Lord Jesus at his judgment seat -- indeed, I tell you that Jesus Christ can be KNOWN, and KNOWN more INTIMATELY than ANY other person in existence. Jesus Christ is not only the source of all life, he is likewise the sustainer and dispenser of all life, and he is therefore capable of making HIMSELF MANIFEST to his ELECT more certainly than any created being can make himself known to you, exactly as he has promised in [John 14:21-23], and numerous other passages.

If you will not prize your soul above ALL ELSE, you will NEVER be granted a SAVING audience with Jesus Christ. Blind Bartimaeus, as recorded in the gospels, would be saved at all costs. Will you be saved at all costs? If you will not be saved at all costs, you will not be saved by Jesus Christ at all.

Would you be born again? GENUINELY born again?

Then take wise counsel -- pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text -- in English, the ONLY VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible -- and then read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very generation, and just as he will do for YOU if -- IF -- you heed my advice, and if -- IF -- you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL. John 14:21-23, Matthew 14:25-27
