Page 17 - MY GREAT LOVE FOR JESUS LED ME TO TROUTH

I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no
means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Paul sought to gather round himself as
many followers as possible, even if this was at the expense of the pure teachings of Christ
or his way of propagating the truth which he adopted at all costs and under all
circumstances. Paul himself confesses to horrendous acts of cheating, lying and deceit to
achieve his purposes. In 1 Corinthians 9/19-23, we read, "For though I am free from
all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them;
and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are
under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;
to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward
God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without
law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become
all things to all men that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the
gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you."
[11]Some Biblical scholars point to the existence of thousands of manuscripts from the
Gospels, but what is the true value of these manuscripts if amongst the thousands we
cannot find two that are identical?! According to the International Translation of the New
Testament, "All the versions of the New Testament that reached us were not similar."
[12]The numerous errors contained in the Bible led Robert Kehl-Zeller to say in his
book The Authenticity of the Holy Bible that no other book ever suffered as many
changes, errors and corruptions as the Holy Bible. This is in clear contrast to William Muir
and Laura Vaglieri's statements about the Qur'an.
[13]The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, known informally as Vatican II, (1962-65)
admitted to the existence of errors in the Old Testament: "Now the books of the Old
Testament, in accordance with the state of mankind before the time of salvation
established by Christ, reveal to all men the knowledge of God and of man and the ways
in which God, just and merciful, deals with men. These books, though they also contain
some things which are incomplete and temporary, nevertheless show us true divine
pedagogy." In Providentissimus Deus "On the study of Holy Scripture", issued by Pope
Leo XIII on 18th November 1893, we read, "It is true, no doubt, that copyists have made
mistakes in the text of the Bible." It remains to be said, then, that confession is the best
evidence.
