Meditation of the week: Psalm 91:1-16

Text: Ephesians 4:16

Title of the Word: The Age of Apostasy by the Church with All kinds of Heretic Doctrines by the corrupted  Words of God

        Apostle Paul testified a very mysterious message to the Saints in Ephesus. When Jesus died and was buried, he went down to the hell, the lower part of the earth, and when he came up,  he took many of the Old Testament saints who were held captive in the bosom of Abraham.

      He also testified that he gave the gifts of Christ for the saints who will remain on earth in the body of Christ, the Church of God. He testified that the reason for giving these gifts was that all of the saints would attain the unity of faith and the unity of the knowledge of knowing the Son of God, and that he would become a perfect man unto the measure  of stature of the fullness of Christ.

        Apostle Paul encouraged the members of the church in Ephesus who heard all the words of God through prophets, apostles, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. He also said, since then, they are no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in want to deceive. He also asked them, speaking the truth in love and they may  grow unto  him in all thing which is the head, even Christ.

         We need to know for sure what spiritual deceptions and cunning craftiness are flooding in these days. When Apostle Paul spoke of these things, he warned against being carried about with every wind of doctrine.  We need to know if all kinds of false doctrines and so many heresies are corrupting the Christian world, and what their roots are. Apostle Paul certainly testified to the members of the Corinthian church:

” For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” (2 Corinthians 2:17).

           Through Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit testified in advance, knowing that, not only at that time, but also in this age in which we live, taking profits by corrupting the word of God and spreading all kinds of heresy doctrines.

           What we need to know for sure is that God wrote only one Bible through the people inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is also important to know that God is not One that revises, corrects, or destroys the Bible that once spoken.

         God planned to let His servants write His Word with inspiration and give only one Bible  to the world. Finally, God had the Luther Bible translated into German to be translated into English. This is the English King James Bible, published in 1611 during the time of King James of England. God gave authority to this Bible to be the Authorized Version.

          God had the English King James Bible spreaded all over the world during the time of Queen Victoria in England. In addition, the English King James Bible had been translated into numerous languages. For this reason, God blessed England to become a country where the sun never sets.

         In the era of the Philadelphia Church, God let Livingstone, Hudson Taylor, Goford, Judson, and other missionaries preach the gospel to the whole world using the King James Bible.

         However, Satan used his church, Roman Catholic to brutally torture and burn people who possessed or read the King James Bible, the only Bible at that time. Among them, Eucliffe was not only burned, but later pulled out his remains from the grave and burned the remains again. To commemorate this man, the Eucliffe Mission  was established. This mission is the ministry of sending missionaries to countries for decades where  is no language, and publishing the Bible by making their  words into language.

        From 1611 to 1884, there had been only one Bible, the King James Bible, and for 273 years the gospel of Christ’s grace as well as the knowledge of the truth had been spread throughout the world. However, the Roman Catholic Church, which could no longer persecute Christians since the middle age of darkness. They became the old serpent that came to the Garden of Eden in the old days, changed the word of God to tempt Adam And Eve.   They went into the underground and corrupted the King James Bible in 1884. The Revised Version of the Bible was created by their craftiness, and in 1901, they published the American Standard Version corrupting the King James Bible. Since  then until now, more than 250 English Bibles have been flooded, and all kinds of heretical doctrines have overflowed into the Christian world.

       Western missionaries came to Korea, and they preach the words of God in the King James Bible.  But at that time, the Korean version of Bible could not be translated. But unfortunately Chinese Bible in Chinese language that was translated from English Revised Version was translated in Korean language. At that time, the Korean Bible Society announced that it would use  Revised Bible in the short period of time, but when the Korean King James Bible was published in 1994, it was persecuted by the Korean Christian society severely as the King James Bible persecuted by the Catholic church in the middle age of darkness.

          Puritans who went to the United States brought the English King James Bible to preach the gospel. But since Roman Catholic church  corrupt the King James Bible to publish American Standard Version of bible, America has been flooded with hundreds of corrupted bibles such as NIV, NASV and so on. The American Standard Version specify Jesus as a creature instead of Creator in a foot note. Satan’s servants, who made the corrupted Bibles, have been working to destroy the divinity of Jesus and also corrupt the doctrine of salvation.

            Here is something we need to take seriously and move forward. Among the words many Christians ask, “Why claim  the King James Bible  the only true word of God?” In particular, among the words of American Christians and pastors, there is a unique cynical question “King James Bible Onlynism?”

     However, we can answer these claims very clearly. Originally, there was only one bible in 1611, King James Bible. Since Roman Catholic corrupted the King James Bible to print Revised Version after 273 years, the King James Bible looks like one of them.   It is very important to know that God is not the One that changes or revises or corrupt the Bible that was spoken by him. The idea that God want to revise his words once spoken by him is truly blasphemy.

           Apostle Paul departed, he left a very important message unto Timothy a pastor:

“ Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. ” (2 Tim. 4:2-5)

         The most sad thing in the end times today is to see wholesome Bible doctrines disappearing and being replaced by doctrines of many denominations of churches. This is a natural result since only one Bible has been replaced by hundreds of corrupted Bibles.

          Apostle Paul testified of what the Bible contains:

” All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

         However, the “doctrine” was deleted in the Korean Revised version translated into Korean from English Revised Version corrupted  by Catholic in 1884.  

         Living in the end times, we find that almost churches are not able to endure even the most basic doctrine of salvation to be united with  WCC, WEA, and NCCK to deny the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only way, truth, and life. Looking at what has been done, Apostle Paul gave us very important warning of sign that is coming just before the day of Christ that is the day of Rapture: :

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God..” (2 Thess. 2:3-4)

Amen! Hallelujah!
