Foreword The purpose of this write-up if any, Is to bring to the fore practices and doctrines which are not scriptural. Our Spiritual beliefs should never be based on carnal thoughts and ideas but on Spiritual commandments. The principal thing in Spiritual salvation is obedience to God and not to men. If ever God wanted man to obey just any carnal inventions, God would not have bothered to choose, ordain, and name Prophets and Apostles. This is common sense. Even the source of Scripture, which is the Bible, for Christians, can be corrupted. For this reason, we are scripturally instructed to “prove all things”. Common sense, or our conscience teaches us how to determine whether a translation of the Scripture, from the original tongue/s as this was written, to our language, was done objectively or subjectively. Objectivity in translation is to serve God while subjectivity, is to serve yourself or a group or sect. The write up emphasizes more that God and His words in Scripture is right rather than saying that man and His thoughts are wrong. Men who believe in God accept that they are sinners and that God is perfect. As written, Spiritual perfection can only be had by the Scripture and therefore as servants of God, correction by the Scripture should be received with gratitude and not with animosity, unless of course one is a servant of himself or his sect and not of God. May God bless us.
