The Lying Pen of Scribes! You know of course what gaslighting is? Projecting DOUBT into another’s mind, causing misery and insecurity and facilitating deception, being a piece of cake! Besides, Who was the first gaslighter? Satan! Genesis 3:1 “Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “ Did God really say , ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”” - Berean Standard Bible Crucial to ALWAYS bear in mind: The Word of God is inspired with purpose, nowhere leaving ANY room for doubt at all, let alone doubt- seeding modal auxiliary verbs, expressing the subjunctive mood! The whole Word of God is succinct, with no room for hermeneutic human interpretation, but room ONLY for the Holy Spirit ( 2 Peter 1:20-21 )! What did Jeremiah, way back already, say? Jeremiah 8:8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,’ when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception ?” - Berean Standard Bible And King Solomon? Ecclesiastes 1:9 “What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again ; there is nothing new under the sun.” - Berean Standard Bible This is the ultimate act of treachery , rejecting the loving Grace of Christ ! Dr. Scribe, are you aware of the consequences of this grievous act, adding your interpretational words of doubt to the Word of God, giving you and your followers ‘sole access’ to heaven? The true Christ, who already saved ALL people, opens the eyes of those following HIM ! Luke 12:2 “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.” - Berean Standard Bible Like the two versions of the same verse below! John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” - Berean Literal Bible The verse above, a God doubting Himself and the one below, a purposeful God. John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” - Berean Standard Bible Dr. Scribe, You translate the Greek “ hina ” (#2443), which denotes purpose as you know, with “ so that ”, instead of with “to”. Why? Because “to” denotes purpose! Had you used “to” in the first version above (like you did in the second version), not in a million years could you add any doubt- seeding “may”, or “might” auxiliary verb, feeding your subjunctive mood agenda. See Dr. Scribe, there are ‘commoners’ out there who know that “to” is always followed by an infinite verb. What you do is cunningly using the “that” in cherry-picked verses, which refer to themes like salvation , everlasting life , heirs of God and hope , to instil doubt in the totally-redeeming power of the Blood of Christ! Other than that, where your agenda would likely not be jeopardised, you just translate the “ hina ” with “ to ”. “Finish en klaar”, common South African slang for “over & done”. With the two specific versions above (one correctly translated and one deceivingly ‘transliterated’) from the same editorial team, you underscore my point. Same verse, two different messages from one institution in plain sight. Dr. Scribe, God sets snares ( Jeremiah 50:24 ), for Satan to forward, especially to Bible scribes. Snares successfully implemented, for ordinary true Christ believers to pick up. How many millions of paid hours have you and your peers spent across the world, scrutinizing thousands of Bible versions in multiple languages, with a traditional-based agenda? Traditional- based agenda? Yes, the agenda of locating verses throughout the NT, where you can add doubt-seeding subjunctive mood auxiliary verbs, firstly to prime your exclusivity-driven ‘eternal-hell-believing’ readers and secondly, to sell your Bibles to billions of these readers. You even bind Bibles with luxurious materials, such as coloured lambskin, turning them into ‘eye candy’ brands in a multibillion Dollar industry! Jesus was humble. Keep His Word also humble. Heavenly treasures far outweigh earthly ones! Since God is purposeful and in control of Satan, Satan did NOT come to the world, “ so that he might deceive the whole world ” ( Revelation 12:9 ). Ridiculous, isn’t it? Fact of the matter is that you betray Jesus Christ ! However much you are not accountable for doing this, your penalty for it still remains beyond horrendous. So, Judas was not the only one to betray Jesus; billions, upon billions were and billions still are, to this day! Therefore, the “woe” in the verse below pertains to all these billions. This is so serious that it asks for nothing less than utmost BOLDNESS . Defending Christ has no room for sugar coating. But, talking about Judas, thanks to your deceiving pen, thousands of ministries were given the ‘green light’ to woefully condemn Judas to an ‘ eternal hell’! God is the symbolic- and wrathful Lake of Fire ( Hebrews 12:29 ), but His wrath is never forever ( Psalm 103:9 )! Judas dearly paid for his misdeed (like all of us), yes, but Judas will have a throne , judging Israel ( Matthew 19:28 )! When Jesus said this, Judas was present as one of the twelve, but Judas was the chosen one to betray Him. Judas will therefore not be in Sheol on Judgement Day ( 1 Samuel 2:6 )! What’s more, had it not for Judas, we all would have been in trouble! Thank him for that! Dr. Scribe, where is your ‘ everlasting ‘ damnation and what happens to all liars ( Revelation 21:8 )? It’s not about where the Lake of Fire is, but it’s all about WHO it is! Think about it! Matthew 26:24 “The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed . It would be better for him if he had not been born.”” - Berean Standard Bible Jesus loved Judas as much as He loved the other eleven ( John 13:34 ) and that is why Jesus was so upset, not for Himself, but for Judas. Jesus knew what was lying ahead for Judas and this is precisely why Jesus said what He said in Genesis 6:6 ! He grieved for all mankind, because He knew the suffering that was lying ahead for all! Dr. Scribe, take note. You play a pivotal role in God’s deception area, but who says God does not want to ‘sack’ you now for your own sake? It’s never too late to make a turnaround! Rather suffer now intensely, than later with an intensity in quadruple fashion, if not more. Seeding doubt around the universal atonement of the Blood of Christ is nothing else, but betraying the Saviour of the whole world! Just like you, ‘Dr. Scribe’, all your followers are likewise betraying the sanctifying Blood of Christ ( Matthew 27:3-4 ), with a punishment unimaginable! Do you have any idea at all to what extent your doubt-seeding has established the breeding ground for hermeneutics being biasedly- and rhetorically applied to make God’s purposefulness ‘doubtful by default’? Go check how many ministries today proclaim Judas to be in ‘eternal hell’. It’s beyond sad. Hebrew 10:29 “How much worse punishment do you think will he deserve, the one having trampled upon the Son of God, and having esteemed ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified , and having insulted the Spirit of grace?” - Berean Literal Bible This verse above speaks for itself. Moreover, what message did Jesus also tell His disciples about the fate of any building, ivory towers included? See the verse below. For starters, there shouldn’t be any worship buildings at all, let alone institutional ones for ‘theological education’! Jesus Christ is both Temple ( Revelation 21:22 ) and Teacher ( Matthew 23:8 ) alike! Matthew 24:2 ““Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”” - Berean Standard Bible Judas betrayed Jesus and even though it was predestined, he suffered greatly through his terrible trespass, the worst of the worst, nonetheless! Judas alone? No ( Matthew 24:10 )! Matthew 27:3-4 “ 3   When Judas, who had betrayed Him , saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders 4  “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood ,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “ You bear the responsibility .”” - Berean Standard Bible The purposeful “hina”, translated as “so that” with an agenda of doubt. SALVATION ETERNAL LIFE HEIRS OF GOD HOPE SALVATION John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” - Berean Literal Bible So, God wasn’t even sure if Jesus was indeed going to judge the world, nor was He sure if Jesus would have the power to save the world! Oh my goodness! ETERNAL LIFE John 20:31 “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” - New International Version So God is unsure that you are going to believe and that you will have eternal life! Dr. Scribe, what you say here is that the Almighty God of the universe doesn’t even know the outcome of His writings, that He has no guarantee of eternal life. How silly! Heirs of God Titus 3:7 “ so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” - English Standard Version You say here that Christ’s Grace was useless in making all of us heirs and that your ‘free will’ overrules His Power ! Are you aware of what you are letting yourself in here, when it comes to God’s painful Hand on Judgement day? It’s best you reconsider, Dr. Scribe! HOPE Romans 15:4 “For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.” - English Standard Version Dr. Scribe, does it look like you indeed give hope to any reader at all here, irrespective of the fact that he, or she endures suffering? No! Therefore, does the way you handle God’s Word here, give any encouragement for endurance at all? No, for heaven’s sake! All you do here is instilling doubt in the heart of the afflicted, changing “hope” into a “hope maybe”! This, Dr. Scribe, is unforgivable and tenders for intense punishment from the Hand of the very God, whose grace you make doubtful around the world! Ample more examples to follow. To be continued
