8 . SEALL WE CREATE oun According to an ardent promoter of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible = “Phe Bible is en antiquated book. It must be brought upeto-date, There would be no purpose in bringing forthe new trenslation unless it was to adjust this old-tine religion to the findings of modern sofence and shholership, The Bible must de made to live agein. fo acoomplish this, oid and dizevodited dovtrines must be brought into elignsent with the spirit ani understanding of modern science." (From “Debate over the New Bible” © SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES, Box 161, Beliflower, Missour!) -*. 78 seems reasonable to ‘assume thet this promoter would say "you" to the question . Shall we create Truth? : . « Be goes on to says “Of-course, we want a world religion. Communists are part ef the ‘world ~ « very big part.’ Any religion which embraces all mankind must wis the . allegiance of the Communist masses. ; mr “Phe United Nations aine ultimately at a world government. ‘Its counterpart must be a wrid religion; It is no searet that seme of the world's * 11% statesmen, representing Communist as well ag non-Communist countries, have dldea the Sew Bible es the book that can serve as a common foundation for the world religion which will be required to make the world government effective." Apparently the "Hew Bible” is to do for the Communist masses what the “social studies" textbooks do for the non-Communist masses = to “win the allegiance ef the maseos” to @ world government and to create world citizens, Perhaps this is what — "they" mean by compromise, We accept Communist political, economic and social ideas (prougnt up-toedate so as to conform to modern "scientific socialism") and they adopt ible (brought upetosdate so as to conform to “modern science”), Compulsory secular education, perhaps designed end certainly used to create world citizens (those who’ are to conform to the will of the Marxien Almighty God ~ a world govern= ment), has served the compromisers well, Perhaps they'll adopt compulsory ohuroh attendance now that we have a suitable textbook, Compulsory education has, by the way, prevented, not provided for, equality of educational opportunity. Is it an opportunity to be forced to go to school, to be compelled to do anything? It's quite netural to expect these whe are wise of the world and who are trying to oreete God, « Supreme Authority or world government, to realize the need to create Truth es well, Unless "God" or a world government hae such « means, how can men con- form to or abide by "His Word"= be world oltizens? Bear in mind that those who would create God or a Supreme Authority, BY THEIR FRUITS, believe that God does not exist, Since God does not exist they naturally find the Bible an “antiquated book", the work of philosophers who interpreted the world without the sdvantages of “modern ‘gofience", Thus The Bible must be revised to conform to “modern science"; "It must be brought up-to-date." , The RSV Bible is an attempt to create Truth, just as the United Nations fe an attempt, intentional or not, to create God, Both attempts are designed by the mani- puletors to facilitate the creation of The General Welfare or “His Kingdom", the king- dom Karl Marz called "a human society", Frederick Engels "a more than individual de- velopment”, Bertrand Russell "a scientific scoiety", the internationalists " a one - world", the humanists “a brotherhood of men", and The Bible "the abomination of desolation," Be ; ‘ Karl Marx saids “Philosophers have interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it." “Those who would change what is, Truth, by conform ing It to modern sofience or what seems to be, are Marxists whether they know it or not, They sre Marxists, not by my definition, but by Marx’s ‘and by their fruits, "Wherefore by thetr fruite ye shall know them.” Thus, BY THEIR FRUITS (RSV BIBLE) those responsible for it are Merxists, not Christians, By conforming His Word, Truth, to the words of men (modern science or what men ASSUME is Truth), those responsible for the RSV Bible have performed a diservice, ‘not a service, Only in so fer as we conform to His Word and permit and encourage others to do the seme, do we promote the generel welfare (sefve men) as well as our own well-being, If we would assist our fellow men we should strive to conform “modern soience’ to The Science, Truths we should accept modern science as Truth ONLY IN SO FAR AS IT CONFORNS TO HIS WRD. oo By discarding and discrediting the Virgin Birth, these would-be human gods have put The Candle under a “bushel” (modern soience)., “Keither do men light a candle, end put it under a bushels but in a candlestick, 80 that it giveth light unto all shat are in the house,"
