FAITH IS NOT
NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH THE “TRUE TEXT” OF THE BIBLE
Faith can establish the true text of the
Bible, as exemplified in the SR-OT3 – Short
Version Seminar. The SR-OT3 – Short Version Seminar establishes the true text of the Bible on the
basis of certain principles found in the Bible. These principles are a part of the Word of God (the “message”
communicated by God to man in writing).
ALL BIBLICAL TEXTUAL CRITICS AND ALL BIBLE TRANSLATORS AGREE THAT THESE
PRINCIPLES ARE EXPRESSED IN CERTAIN VERSES IN THE BIBLE WHETHER OR NOT
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS A “MESSAGE” FROM GOD. In order for the SR-OT3 – Short Version Seminar to persuade you of the identity of the true text of
the Bible in both the original languages of the Bible and in the English
language, YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS A “MESSAGE” FROM GOD. This belief is the product of faith, not
science.
However, faith is NOT necessary to the
establishment of the true text of the Bible in either the original languages or
the English language. The true text of
the Bible in the English language is ALSO established by slow, careful,
methodical examination, linguistic analysis, and linguistic synthesis performed
by past, human translators and confirmed by present-day, human translators and
doubly confirmed by present-day translating supercomputers. This present-day confirmation and double
confirmation is proven and fully explained in our SR-OT3 Seminar (the long
version of the “Seminar on the ‘True Text’”).
These confirmations say (the “MT9-TR-CSR9 Principle”):
MT9-TR-CSR9
(see technical footnote below) comprises a flawless copy of the original
autographs of the Holy Scriptures AND constitutes the original languages text
of the Bible translated by the King James Bible translators. In addition, the King James Bible is a
flawless translation of MT9-TR-CSR9.
Technical Footnote: MT9-TR-CSR9
is the formal name for the confirmed
(reconstructed) original languages text of the entire Bible. “MT9” refers to the Masoretic Text with
critical apparatus produced by the Sentry 9X virtual supercomputers of the L. F.
Nexus. “TR-CSR9” refers to the true
text of the ancient Greek New Testament [see the Technical Footnote at the
bottom of God’s
Standard Of Precision Of Biblical Textual Criticism And Bible Translation]).
