Letters

God bless you, and thank be to God your caring and thoughtful time you had to take to write[1]. It shows me you really love me and care enough to take the time to engage in such an analysis of the truth[2], wherein the taste of such liberty prepares the heart of the sender and the receiver[3]. I know that when one takes time to rightly divide the word of God, it makes them really divide and think what they really believe[4]. To articulate it is a challenge when you have to write it down[5]. I think everyone should connect with their love ones some what in this way[6], because words really do mean something[7]. When we have maturity to calm our emotions and direct our intent with hindsight of our pass trials and tribulations it can clarify issue not only with others but with our own selves[8]. I respect that you are courageous to write out not only what was on our mind but what is in your heart[9]. Indeed the honesty we are fasten too[10], it besieges the walls of separation[11] they we sometimes dare not breach in person[12]. Although I feel your letter was accusatory, insinuating and judgmental and was not meek at all, I take no offense[13], but rather look at it as an opportunity[14].

Truth rises to no other conclusion than to what God has called us too, the holiness[15] that separates us from all others[16] and joins us to those so in such a love[17]. Righteousness is such a desire[18], that “ Moral Resolve” stages God’s glory[19], consequences are not found in the balance of the true believers motives[20]. Love is our only defense against the weapon that has restrained and hindered the overcomers,[21] fear may cause the unsanctified hearts of men to fail[22] so ensnared in there conceptual relationships,[23] as that of contemporized main stream Christian man void of the words of life[24]. But those that know their God shall do exploits[25] that neither they and anyone could anticipate[26], so build up in the Holy Ghost[27] ministering the words of God[28]; encouraged to fight the good fight[29], taking up the sword of the Spirit[30] and unashamed[31] proclaim the truth[32] in face of all and any[33], therein speak the rightly divide word[34] that the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force[35].

God’s word the faith substance[36] that sustains by unwavering testimony of this love[37] so illustrated in one man the Son of the living God[38], wherein just the proclamation of this name Jesus[39], Jesus of Nazareth[40], Jesus the Christ of God[41], the rock that shores up the feet of the stand that we should take[42]. When the enemy comes in like a flood the standard which the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up[43], these words that are higher[44] than the words of men, their infectious perverted versions[45] whose concealed goals are to destroy, encumber, obstruct, and hinder God’s peoples. These men truthfully do oppose themselves with there NIV, NASV, NKJV, Living Translations, and the other 150 or so perverted versions, they will be found to be lairs[46].

We know that the day of the Lord will not take us that know his Word unaware[47]. As we see the times and discern in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can only ascertain that the times are major.[48] We see the apositasy so much clearer as the church falls into these version perversions[49] of the tried and trued methods of Satan, “yea hath God said”[50]. What is sad and breaks my heart is to see and experience is that very brethren[51] whom should have known better would repent from such wickedness; rather they strengthen the hands of these evil doers[52]. If the revenge of God is not against these the 5^th seal of Revelation[53] would make the four horsemen seem out of place. Blinded by there own false righteousness[54] they preach another gospel to the Curse[55] that so surely follows to the plagues of all those who refused to come out of her[56], so dually[57] and finally warned[58] . I hope you hear what I am saying, for where much is given much is required[59], wherein you have entered into a passion[60] that assuredly will have its own consequences. [61] .

Is this not the fast we should chose to let the captive go free[62], trapped in there own knowledge[63] and wisdom[64] with the feigned words that make merchandise of them with there copyrighted perverted versions[65]. This infection that has become acceptable as light of righteousness[66] of which so many ignored the warnings[67] which caused this strong delusion to the believing the lie of these perverted versions.[68] The beheading of those true to the Word of God will find its conclusion as those under the altar waiting for that coming day[69]. What mystery is it that prophesies that is would be sweet in the month but bitter in the belly[70]? With such a worldly recognition of these intellects[71] who are elevated above those wise by the words of God[72], how could not meekness be but the only way to instruct those to repentance[73]. Rather now when such an ensamples[74], in the love of the Lord rightly dividing the word, arises as warning to those whom by compassion make a difference[75]. Then there are others that go the way that will not hear or see[76] forgetting the old ways[77] that lead to such an end time judgment[78].

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I will congratulate you for you accomplishing your missions to help me rightly divide the word of truth; however I will reproof you in that you should examine yourself, [136] for I have given you an answer,[137] in good conscience[138] showing who really do oppose themselves.

I would admonish you to go to them in meekness[139] before it is too late, for the labors are few[140] and pray with me that Lord would send more[141], is this not the fast that the Lord has chosen? Time is running out,[142] hear the Word of the Lord, 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Read Jeremiah 23 and Isaiah 58 know that God is not playing around, his words are holy, and man ought not to change them[143]. This is the sin that so easily beset them[144]. Be of good courage and do it, fear not.[145]Many will be lost if they do not repent and latter end will be worse that the beginning.[146]

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to respond, I find myself felling very humbled and honored that you would address my concern, and yes your explanation was, helpful, meek and acceptable. I do believe your ministry is the most important of it's time; I am compelled and constrained to stress ministering the absolute necessity to stipulate that the words of God are the gospel. Without the church turning back to the words of God there can be no great revival in the land to the saving of souls to the glory of God. O how we have been hindered by this cunning devised attack on the words of God, let us no longer be ignorant. Now I must confess I honestly had overlook two other item in the Articles of Faith after I sent my first email, one is probably just semantics; Section C., it being we are born again by grace and not by faith, but through faith. The reason this seem important to me is that revisions bibles have change the faith of God and Christ to faith in God and Christ. By saying we are saved by faith in Christ is like a work we have done. I know you do not believe that, but it is like we are infected by these revisions and must be on guard of there leaven. Second, is in Section B. first I think there is a typo at the end, there is no Hebrews 2:34 as shown. But of a greater matter, I have gone over this resistant of the gifts with other Baptist and have proven the error of there thinking by the scriptures. It amazes me how men who study the words of God can resist the power of God, but such is to this moment of decisiveness I have been brought. I know there is a lot of kooky false manifestation out there, but what better way to cover up the great workings of the Holy Ghost. Time is short, I believe, God is bring about the reconciliation of all things sooner than we all think, let us not be hindered by ignorance any more. I would be blessed with the opportunity to reproof and corrected you by the scriptures that God’s words are not vain on this subject and that the gifts truly do operation in true believers. Betwixt us and that is Acts 7:51, I hope and pray that this received in meekness, faith and temperance. God Bless you and all that you do, In the love of Christ and Respectfully, for Jesus Christ is Lord. Scott Simons Peoa, Utah 8/18/07

Dear Scott, Thank you for your letter and for your interest in the Dean Burgon Society. I am glad you noticed our new headings on our Dean Burgon Society site labeled "JOIN THE DBS" which were suggested recently by Dr. Williams, one of our DBS Vice Presidents. The operative words here are "complete clarity." For example, in 2 Corinthians 6:14, the King James Bible has an excellent translation of these verses. If someone is interested in "complete clarity," he MUST go to the Greek structure. A person does not need to have "complete clarity." If he does not want to go deeper into the very Words of God given by the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit to the human writer, that is all right. The DBS does not compel anyone to go beyond the KJB if they do not wish to do so. I am a Baptist pastor. As I preach verse by verse from a Bible book (without any boasting or prideful motives), when it helps to inform my audience with "complete clarity," I will often bring out some of the various meanings of words or rules of the Greek language that I have studied. I believe the Lord would have me do this since I am familiar with some of these things. I would not expect a pastor who never studied Greek to do this, nor would I fault him for not doing it. Each of us must work with the tools God has placed in our hands to the best of our abilities. "Complete clarity" would show a person, by the grammar of the Greek language, that Paul is telling the Corinthians to "STOP AN ACTION ALREADY IN PROGRESS" since it is in the present tense, rather than telling them "DON'T EVEN BEGIN AN ACTION." Evidently, the Corinthians were being unequally yoked with unbelievers and Paul told them to "STOP IT!" Many more illustrations for "complete clarity" could, of course be given. The DBS is not compelling anyone to go beyond the King James Bible's accurate translation. The statement applies only to those seeking "complete clarity." I hope this is somewhat explanatory. Pastor D. A. Waite, President, DBS Copy to: Dr. H. D. Williams, one of the DBS Vice Presidents

Sirs, I have read the Articles of Faith, and find them acceptable, with one exception. If you would please, I have a problem with one word; if you could please expound on. Section A. The Bible ......"while at the same time realizing that, in some verses., we must go back to the underlying original language Texts for complete clarity, and also compare Scripture with Scripture. This word "MUST" seem to indicate that once again the laymen must rely on the advance scholar to clarify the scripture. If "must" was "may" I really would not have a problem, however why does any Bible believer have to now rely on any further clarification of the translated Bible? Comparing Scripture with Scripture in the English of the King James, should be sufficient, once one has accepted the Translation as the Words of God. I really love your work, and would love to be a member, although I will continue to a supporter. I would really appreciate a clarification of this position, for further consideration of being a member. Respectfully, Scott Simons Peoa, Utah
