THE LAST ACT OF THE ALEXANDRIAN DRAMA (Part One)


     Having followed detailed articles on the Alexandrian Cult in
the Bulletin for a period of nearly three years, Bible believers
were not surprised to see Dobson, Hindson, Towns, Hutson, Falwell
and other apostate Fundamentalists finally presenting a "New"
Authorized Version to replace the hated and envied one that
Americans had been using, preaching, teaching and BELIEVING for
more than 200 years. Farstad, of Dallas Theological Seminary, was
the main spokesman in getting the New "Ecumenical Rat's Nest"
published; and Falwell, of course, did the promotion. The main
organ of promotion now is a magazine called "THE FUNDAMENTALIST
JOURNEY," and the two major spokesmen chosen to destroy the faith
of American young people in the AV 1611 and to reinstate it with
the JFV (Jerry Falwell Version) are Ed Dobson and Ed Hindson.
Neither man professes to have read the Bible or the Scriptures as
both men define the terms in their own writings. To both men,
"the Bible" is not infallible or inerrant in ANY version, and the
term "Scripture" is not a reference to any Bible anyone in
America has read.

     These two smooth, slick, soft gentlemen have now been sent
out as "associational missionaries" with "itineraries" designed
to sell the "New King James Bible" (Falwell-Nelson version) to
Christian young people. They will put out their propaganda at the
High Street Baptist Church in Springfield (David Cavin), at the
Baptist Temple (W. E. Dowell), at Baptist Bible Colleg
(Springfield), at the First Baptist Church of Fort Worth (Johnny
Ramsey), at Arlington Baptist College, and at the Conservative
Baptist Seminary at Denver, Colorado.

     Their mission is to create a popular demand for the Falwell-
Nelson version so that the sales will be based on "THE VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE" (see Falwell's magazine, p. 30). The idea is to make
Christians believe that it was "THE PEOPLE" who demanded the
Falwell-Nelson 1982 version. The term "THE PEOPLE" is, of course,
borrowed from Castro, Mao Tse-tung and good old Abraham Lincoln.
The expression was commented on at length in 19872 in the Bible
Believer's Commentary on Acts in Acts 21:28, which see.

     Of course there was no mandate from "the people" at all for
a "New King James Version." The mandate came from the hard-
pressed apostate scholars at fundamental schools whose student
bodies were in an uproar over the exposure of the hypocrisy of
those faculty members by "Ruckmanites." No, "the people"
requested nothing. The Bible believers needed nothing. The
scholars needed a breath of fresh air and release from pressure.

     It is time now for the real Bible believer--certainly no one
like Dobson, Hindson or Farstad--to take a close look, a very
close look, at what these modern apostate Fundamentalists have
passed off as a legal "edition" or standard "revision" of the AV
of 1611. The ploy, of course, for the "patsies" was that since
the AV had been updated several times since 1611 that the
Falwell-Nelson version (NKJV) could do it too and you would HAVE
TO ACCEPT IT AS A LEGITIMATE REVISION BECAUSE YOU ACCEPTED THE
OTHERS.

     Now that is the gimmick that Hindson, Falwell, Hutson,
Henderson, Dobson and Farstad worked on, and that is how it will
be presented to the STUDENT BODIES of Springfield, Arlington,
Fort Worth and Denver. The idea is simple. The gimmick will
relieve the faculty members of any pressure to stick by the TEXT
that all of their students (and the student's mothers and father
and grandmothers and grandfathers) read and believed; instead,
they can be weaned from this text and introduced to a bastard
translation that moves them once again back to the ASV of 1901
(Alexandrian text) and the RSV of 1952 (Alexandrian text) while
"using the Textus Receptus" (Syrian text).

     Read Genesis 3:1.

     The Falwell-Nelson edition (or the Hindson-Dobson edition)
then needs to be examined closely before anyone is stupid enough
to take the word of these gentlemen about it. So here we begin a
series of articles on the Falwell-Nelson edition. The point in
these articles will be to list the exact documented evidence
which could be produced in a court of law to show that readings
of unsaved Liberals in the National Council of Churches have been
taken from the RSV of 1952 and put into the Falwell-Nelson
version and that readings of apostate Conoservatives, following
the Alexandrian Greek text of Africa, have been taken from the
NASV (a revision of the ASV of 1901) and put into the Nelson-
Falwell (or Hindson-Dobson) version; this whole Satanic and
deceitful operation was carried on under the guileless title of
the New "KING JAMES" Version. THERE IS NOT ONE EDITION OF ANY
KING JAMES BIBLE PUT OUT BY ANYONE BEFORE 1982 THAT CONTAINS THE
RSV AND ASV READINGS WE ARE GOING TO LIST.

     First of all we will turn to the liberal readings of the RSV
published by Dean Weigle and the National Council of Christian
Churches, which Jerry Falwell, Curtis Hutson, Ed Dobson and Ed
Hindson are now promoting with the approval and welcome of
Arlington, Springfield, Denver and Fort Worth.

     Job 1:1. (There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was
Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared
God and shunned evil.--NKJV) The word "blameless" is found in no
edition of the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC.

     Job 3:7. (Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout
come into it!--NKJV) The word "barren" is found in no edition of
the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC.

     Job 3:8. (May those curse it who curse the day, Those who
are ready to arouse Leviathan.--NKJV) The word "Leviathan" is not
found in any edition of the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC.

     Job 3:26. (I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have o rest,
for trouble comes."--NKJV) The present tense is not found in any
edition of the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC, as in the
expression "trouble comes."

     Job 4:4. (Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,--
NKJV) The word "stumbling" is not found in any edition of the AV:
it is from the RSV of the NCCC--the Council that supported
Communist black killers in Africa (Rhodesia and Ghana).

     Job 4:17. (Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a
man be more pure than his Maker?--NKJV) The word "can" is not
found in any edition of the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC,
which supports Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Stanley Jones, Bishop
Sockman, Bishop Oxnam and George Buttrick.

     Job 13:8. (Will you show partiality for Him? Will you
contend for God?--NKJV) The word "partiality" is not found in any
edition of the AV: it is from the RSV of the NCCC. The Nelson-
Falwell version (or Hindson-Dobson version) has refused to
translate "prosopoleptes" (Acts 10:34) and similar words (1 Pet.
1:17, Rom. 2:11, Eph. 6:9) any differently than the real words
for "partiality" (ADIAKRITOS, PROSKLISOS), which the AV
translated correctly in James 3:17 and 1 Timothy 5:21 in ALL OF
ITS EDITIONS.

     Job 13:12 (Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your
defense are defenses of clay.--NKJV) has been borrowed from the
RSV and bears no resemblance to ANY edition of the AV put out ANY
time by ANYONE.

     Job 13:27,28 (You put my feet in the stocks, And watch
closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
"Man decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-
eaten.--NKJV) has been pilfered from the RSV of the NCCC and
bears no resemblance to any edition of any AV put out in any
century by anyone.

     Job 24:24 (They are exalted for a little while, Then they
are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way
like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.--NKJV) is
halfway to the RSV and does not match the AV.

     Job 26:6 (Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no
covering.--NKJV) reads with the RSV of the NCCC and against all
editions of the AV by anyone in any country in any century.

     Job 26:13 (By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand
pierced the fleeing serpent.--NKJV) denies that God made Satan.
The verse matches the RSV of the NCCC (Communists and all!) and
goes against all editions of the AV.

     Job 30:29. (I am a brother of jackals, And a companion of
ostriches.--NKJV) Since every man on the Nelson-Falwell edition
(or Dobson-Hindson edition) was an INFIDEL when it came to
matters of ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY, they all got rid of the "dragons"
in Job 30:29 and converted them into JACKALS to match the RSV of
the NCCC.

     Job 32:15-16. ("They are dismayed and answer no more; Words
escape them. And I have waited, because they did not speak,
Because they stood still and answered no more.--NKJV) To rid
themselves of the author of the Book--see lengthy documented
material on the Hebrew texts which we printed in 1980 in the
Bible Believer's Commentary of Job (Job 32:14-16)--the "New" KJV
has put the entire passage in quotation marks (like the RSV of
the NCCC).

     There are no quotation marks in ANY Hebrew manuscript.

     Job 35:3. (For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You?
What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'--NKJV) The
reading is from the RSV of the NCCC and matches no reading of any
edition of any AV printed in any century.

     Job 38:19. ("Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And
darkness, where is its place,--NKJV) The reading has been altered
to cover up the advanced revelation concerning LIGHT which Elihu
had (see Bible Believer's Commentary on Job [1980] on the
passage).

     Job 38:20. (That you may take it to its territory, That you
may know the paths to its home?--NKJV) The words chosen are those
of the RSV text of the National Council of Christian Churches who
are engaged in worldwide ecumenicism.

     Job 41:25. (When he raises himself up, the mighty are
afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves.--
NKJV) The reading is the Communist reading of the RSV found in no
editions of any AV published anywhere by anyone.

     Footnote on Leviathan: Job 41:1, "A LARGE SEA CREATURE,
EXACT IDENTITY UNKNOWN."

     This agnostic confession was printed after the translators
had examined the four verses in every edition of the AV ever
printed that read exactly like each other since 1611.

     Job 41:1 with Psalm 74:14 with Isaiah 27:1 with Revelation
12:9.

     With that advanced revelation of 1611--AND ALL SUBSEQUENT
EDITIONS--in front of their faces, these poor, ignorant, deluded
Greek and Hebrew "scholars" professed AGNOSTICISM at the verse
and laid down a fiat in the form of a dogmatic decree which
stated that no one knew EXACTLY what the reference was to. THERE
ARE NOT THREE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT OUR CHURCH WHO DO NOT KNOW
THE IDENTITY OF THE "SEA CREATURE" since Martin Luther identified
him before 1570.
     

     This is the "scholarship" that professed to represent "THE
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE" at Lynchburg, Virginia, Dallas and Fort
Worth and now--on "evangelistic tour"--Denver, Arlington and
Springfield.

     "BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED."

     "LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS."

     "LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF."

     The New "King James Version" is an "ecumenical rat's nest."
In our next article we will take up a list of the ASV reading
(and NASV readings) which were smuggled into the text while
retaining the title "KING JAMES" to sell the text. If the Holy
Spirit will bless and honor such a publication, then He has gone
against the attributes of God's essential NATURE. It is true that
the Holy Spirit can USE any version, and these apostate
Fundamentalists will take anything they can use to make a fast
buck; but they will have to promote sales to fake a "blessing."
They are humanistic opportunists of the first order. Not one of
them believes anything but the CREED which you will find printed
at the bottom of this file. They are HUMANISTIC RELATIVISTS for
an apostate church (Laodicea), and their recommendations,
criticisms, scholarship and advice may be rejected by any Bible
believer without batting an eye (2 Cor. 2:17).
