By not knowing these seven things, teachers, historians, journalists, scholars, etc. can often misguide people who have a hunger for God's word, and what true Christianity is. Bible publishers will often state that their particular Bible

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      Introduction

      (Please read this first)

      One day in the seventeenth century, Robert opened a Bible for the first time. He opened to a page and verse that read, Thou shall commit adultery.

      He shook his head a few times, but, sure enough, that was what it said.

      Then he ran past his wife, went next door to his neighbor's wife, and said, Look, God said we need to have sex!

      This is written in jest. However, that exact verse did indeed show up in a few early Bibles, which should have said, "Thou shall not commit adultery." Those inaccurate translations were eventually taken out of print.

      But are there still problems with translations?

      For about five hundred years, a Bible wrestling match has gone on. Today, many people do not believe the Bible or that it was inspired by God. After all, there are now dozens of Bibles in print or on the internet where enthusiasts for each claim they have the most accurate Bible.

      So, is it possible that God inspired the Bible? Yes.

      Is His word infallible? Yes.

      Do we have an accurate translation in at least one Bible? Maybe. It depends on what we mean by accurate, and this is something we will take a closer look at in this book.

      If you've read any of my other books—specifically, 'The Revelation Happened or Let No Man Deceive You~Jesus"—then you already know I have an agenda.

      Most of my writing is blunt, direct, and to the point, laser-focused to pierce the darkness of deception and release the light of God's truth. What readers discover is how deep in the devil's deception each of us has become.

      Some readers take offense at this. After all, the truth can hurt people when they discover how they've been tricked into believing deceits or lies their whole lives.

      However, neither I nor we have much time left, so we need to avoid being politically correct or not saying the truth because it might hurt someone's feelings. I'd much rather readers be upset with me now if that means I will later see them doing a happy dance in heaven.

      My agenda has been to blow away the smoke of deception and half-truths that people do not realize they are living in, and in doing so get as many as possible saved before Jesus Christ comes again and our physical realm disappears forever. I know this contradicts some other doctrines, but those will be exposed in this book.

      Since I've been retired for at least twenty years, I've taken advantage of the opportunity to research volumes of texts in seeking the historical truth going back to before ancient Babylon. Within this scope, I've also studied Jewish history, and, of course, our Bible.

      I realize most people do not have this luxury, with work and family to deal with. Therefore, I try to get to the point as quickly as possible, seeking to extract the truth from trickery or ignorance, without involving readers in endless arguments.

      Writing this book was the result of having the
