Re: Apostolic Study Bible

Speaking candidly I must confess that I wasn't expecting widespread agreement with my assessment of the corruption in the numerous commentaries and explanatory notes of the UPCI KJV Apostolic Study Bible that I've discovered thus far, only two of which I have noted.

In fact, it would have come as a surprise should any accept as laudable any of my findings or even the scriptural references that I have employed to substantiate my charge. I've advanced sufficently in age and my God-given understanding of the truth of the esoteric "mysteries" of the Bible to that place where I believe myself to have heard every rebuttal or refutation possible to the limited amount of information I've disclosed herein about the issues I've addressed.

Seldom am I surprised when confronted with the likes of those who seem to derive pleasure in misrepresenting my comments, taking the liberty to add to them, yet failing miserably to offer anything worthy of consideration or response in rebuttal.

If all of the commentary and explanatory notes which appear in the UPCI KJV Apostolic Study Bible had been compiled into a single stand alone Volume, and had not been made such an integral part of the sacred Writ, I would have absolutely NO problem with it. However, when any part of mortal man's biased, and generally carnal-minded interpretations are made a part of the same volume wherein the Most High has decreed that His sacred "Oracles" would be recorded, then that's where I "draw the line in the sand." Such a thing is just not acceptable to me!

When one places an eyedrop of raw liquid sewage into a large barrel of pure wine, the results will be a large barrel of raw liquid sewage. Such are the words of mortals when intermingled amongst the pure Word of the Lord!

When the very first decree, distinctly separate altogether from the sacred Writ, and one which was written at the hands of mortal men like ourselves, was dispatched to the saints for guidance concerning matters of "spiritual" significance during the 1st Century, I think it important to note that it was NOT issued for distribution UNTIL it had been sanctioned by the Holy Ghost (see Acts 15:28).

I find NO such "authentification" by the Spirit recorded anywhere in this "corrupted publication," nor have I sensed such within myself regarding any of the commentaries and explanatory remarks that have been included as "footnotes" in the UPCI KJV Apostolic Study Bible. Instead I find one error after another!

As a result I feel compelled to consider all of its "added features" with skepticism and suspicion. Instead, I find that there are twenty-eight named individuals, described as "credentialed Apostolic scholars," apparently certifying to the merits of the numeroius addendums which appear therein. (Reminds me of the Mormon Bible, wherein the names of men who were perhaps renown in their day, appear on its opening pages, and attest to the veracity of its contents.)

If the publicarion and distribution of this Bible had been delayed, awaiting confirmation of its "added" contents by the Holy Ghost, I am confident you would not be reading these words, for it would not have been necessary for me to compose them (and I would yet be almost $100 richer)!
