Dear Pastor Jackson,
Christians assert the
Word of God, especially where God promises to preserve His Word to all
generations. Luther agrees when he said, "For not to delight in
assertions is not the character of the Christian mind: nay, he must
delight in assertions, or he is not a Christian. But, (that we may not
be mistaken in terms) by assertions, I mean a constant adhering,
affirming, confessing, defending, and invincibly persevering. Nor do I
believe the term signifies anything else, either among the Latins or as
it is used by us at this day." (Dr. Martin Luther, Bondage of The Will,
Associated Publishers, 1971, pg. 11) Luther went on to boldly state:
"Take away assertions, and you take away Christianity." (Dr. Martin
Luther, Bondage of The Will, Associated Publishers, 1971, pg. 11)
Imagine
you are on safari in the African bush again. It is night and you are
hearing the haunting churls and yells of a gang of hyenas. Hyenas are
one of the most dangerous predators in Africa. Their jaws are more
powerful than a lion's.
Leaders and pastors of
LCMS, WELS, ELS, and ELCA are just like that gang of Hyenas in the
African bush yapping, and yelping their unbelief. "The original
autographs are lost forever! " Here they assert their obstinate
unbelief that God's Word is lost forever. They even assert that God's
Word has copying errors and omissions. These are blasphemous words
spoken against God the Holy Ghost who perfectly preserves every word of
God and guides his Christians into all truth. He is the Spirit of truth
not the Spirit of copying errors and omissions.
Now
imagine you are in a fishing contest on lake Michigan. You use all of
your skills and catch a huge trophy fish. Now would you be so careless
as to let this trophy fish get away and be lost forever to the vast
expanse of lake Michigan? Of course not!! So also God the Holy Ghost
who inspired the prophets and Apostles to write God's word would never
allow these words to be lost or damaged by copying errors and
omissions! God has promised to keep and preserve His words among us
forever in Psalm 12:6,7: "The Words of the Lord are pure words: as
silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt
keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for
ever." Surely God's Words are much more precious than a trophy fish.
In fact they are so precious that God has forever settled them in heaven
and has magnified his word above His name. Psalm 138:2 says, "I will
worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving
kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all
thy name." Psalm 119:89 says, "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in
heaven." Christ promised that his words would never pass away or be lost
in Matt 24:35: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away."
Imagine you are living in
Jerusalem. Hezekiah is King. Sennacherib King of Assyria is threatening
to destroy Jerusalem with his vast army. He even blasphemes the one
true God of Israel by saying that the Lord could not preserve and save
Israel. So the angel of the LORD went and smote 185,000 Assyrian
soldiers so that they died. Even so God sent forth his angel to publish
his Word to all nations during the reformation. Rev. 14:6 says "And I
saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation,
and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear
God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgement is come:
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains
of water."
Impossible events occurred during
the Reformation because God controls and molds the events of history.
God used Erasmus to publish the Greek TEXTUS RECEPTUS and reject the
Greek Vaticanus text and the Bibles that sprouted from it: Greek
Nestle-Aland and United Bible Society texts, and NIV, ESV, NKJV, RSV,
etc. This all occurred at the same time Gutenberg invented the printing
press so God's pure Words could be published throughout the whole world
in the language of all nations. Meanwhile Luther translated the Bible
into German and Tyndale translated the Bible into English. Tyndale was
burned at the stake by the King of England, but God heard his prayer and
opened the eyes of King James of England. In 1611 the Bible was
published in English, the language of the world.
God
did not publishing his word with copying errors and omissions. He
published His pure Word. Remember God rejected the corrupt Greek
Vaticanus and the other corrupt Greek texts it was merged into:
Nestle-Aland and United Bible Society texts. God chose the Greek TEXTUS
RECEPTUS and the exact translations from it: Luther's Bible and the King
James Bible. You need to do the same. Assert these pure Words of God.
