Worshippers of False God(s) Do Not Know How To Deal With Context:
INTRODUCTION:
Worshippers of false god(s) do not know how to deal with scripture in context, but almost always deal with it out of context whether they be worshippers of the old middle eastern celestial moon god, 'Allah,' or other false gods such as "Chauta," the name of a tribal god meaning 'Great One of the Bow' in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia.
They try to make scriptures in the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible, appear negative by taking them out of context and giving them a negative twist. Of course this is just plain wicked and evil, but they are driven by their real god, the god of this system of things identified at 2 Corinthians 4:4, "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (ASV) as none other than Satan the Devil. He, Satan, does NOT want individuals to realize that the Bible is indeed the word of Almighty God (YHWH), and contains his guide for mankind today.
Anything taken out of context and/or isolated from its context can seem wrong or negative, but we must bear in mind that if we closely research a scripture in context, its meaning and/or significance may be very different than it would appear taken out of context and/or in isolation. In fact, Although an element may on one occasion have a negative connotation in the scriptures in the Bible; it may be used to represent something elsewhere in the scriptures - context makes all the difference as clearly shown with 1 Peter 5:8-9, "Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world." (American Standard Version: ASV), where Satan the Devil is likened onto a lion, thus picturing his dangerous, vicious nature.
Whereas at Revelation 5:1-5, "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof." (American Standard Version: ASV), in this latter case, the lion is used as a symbol of courageous justice to symbolize Jesus (Yeshua) position in the culmination of the end times.
AN EXAMPLE OF A WORSHIPPER OF A FALSE GOD TAKING A SCRIPTURE OUT OF CONTEXT:
One worshipper of a false god actually said,
<<<" Don't get mad if anyone called a L-I-A-R, you can't be better than your PAUL :
I AND EVERYONE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU LIE :
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:7 (New King James Version)" [source - abuali-almaghribi, a worshipper of a false god on 9/21/2008]>>>.
You will note, that this worshipper of a false god was calling both myself and the Apostle Paul liars, but he even lacked a basic understanding of Romans 3:7, and was taking it out of context. Now let's look at what this scripture means in context. that the Apostle Paul was having a sort of imaginary argument with himself to illustrate a very important point to his audience.
Romans 3:7, "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. 3 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. 5 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just." (American Standard Version: ASV).
However, those lacking Bible knowledge fail to grasp this point, and think the Apostle Paul is saying he is lying due to how this scripture is rendered in a style of argumentation NOT that common today. And fail to realize he is using an imaginary argument with himself to put a very important point across which a publication, "Insight on the Scriptures," says,
<<<" The above is the argument that Paul used in his letter to the Romans, saying: "If our unrighteousness brings God's righteousness to the fore, what shall we say? God is not unjust when he vents his wrath, is he? (I am speaking as a man does.) Never may that happen! How, otherwise, will God judge the world? Yet if by reason of my lie [compare Ps 62:9] the truth of God has been made more prominent to his glory, why am I also yet being judged as a sinner? And why not say, just as it is falsely charged to us and just as some men state that we say: 'Let us do the bad things that the good things may come'? The judgment against those men is in harmony with justice." (Ro 3:5-8) God has delivered his people, not for a course of sin, but for a life of righteousness, that they may glorify Him. The apostle says later in his letter: "Neither go on presenting your members to sin as weapons of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, also your members to God as weapons of righteousness."-Ro 6:12, 13." [source - Insight on the Scriptures, Vol. 2]>>>.
And several other credible sources said the following,
World renown Bible scholar, John Gill, says of Romans 3:7:
<<<"through my lie to his glory:
nothing is more opposite to truth than a lie; a lie of itself can never be of any advantage to truth, or to the God of truth; nothing is more contrary to the nature of God, and more abominable to him; a lie is of the devil, and punishable with eternal death; wherefore it may seem strange, that the truth of God should abound through it to his glory: now let it be observed, that the apostle is not speaking of himself, nor of his lie of unbelief, in his state of unregeneracy; but in the person of a sinful man, "for every man is a liar", (Romans 3:4) , as he says, "I speak as a man", (Romans 3:5) ; representing a wicked man, who from what was before said, might collect this as the sense of it, that the truth of God is illustrated by the lies of men: and so much may be owned as the apostle's sense, that the truth of God is commended, illustrated, and made to abound, when it is asserted, that he is true and faithful, and every man is a liar, fallacious, and deceitful; "let God be true, and every man a liar", (Romans 3:4) : moreover, the truth of God may be allowed to abound through the lies of men, in a comparative sense, the one being set against the other; and so as contraries do, illustrate each other: this may be assented to, as that sometimes a lie has been overruled by God, for the accomplishing of his purposes and promises, in which his truth and faithfulness have been displayed, as in the cases of Jacob and the Egyptian midwives; but then this does not arise from its nature and tendency, but from the overruling wisdom and providence of God, and therefore not to be excused hereby from sin; and consequently the inference from it is not just, that therefore "no man can, or ought to be, judged as a sinner"; since his sin turns to such account, as to make for the glory of God, which is intimated in the question:
why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
if this be the case, I ought not to be reckoned a sinner, or to be treated as such here, or judged and condemned as one hereafter, which is a most wicked, as well as weak consequence; for though God is true and faithful to his promises, notwithstanding the sins of his people, which are as a foil, to set off the lustre of his truth the more, yet their sins are nevertheless sins, and are taken notice of by him as such, and they are corrected for them; and however God may overrule, in a providential way, the sins of others for his glory, this is no excuse for their sins, nor will it be an exemption of them from punishment. This is the sense of the passage; unless by "the truth of God" should be meant, the Gospel, the word of truth, which is of God; and which through the apostle's "lie", as the Jews might call his ministration of it, "abounded to" the "glory" of God; being spread far and near, and made useful for the conversion of sinners, for turning men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God; and for the planting of churches in the Gentile world, as well as in Judea; which much conduced to the honour of God, and the interest of true religion: and then the meaning of the last clause is, "why yet am I also judged as a sinner?" why am I accounted and condemned as an heretic? as an apostate from the faith? as he was by the Jews, and who are used to call heretics sinners: so "the sinner" in (Ecclesiastes 7:26) is thus interpreted F16, (Mynymh wla) "these are the heretics": and elsewhere it F17 is observed, that concerning the heretics it is said, (Proverbs 10:7) , "the name of the wicked shall rot": and I very much suspect this to be the sense of the word in (John 9:24) , "we know that this man is a sinner"; an heretic, a man of bad principles; and in (John 9:31) ; "now we know that God heareth not sinners"; men of corrupt minds; since this character stands opposed to a worshipper of the God of Israel." [source - The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible]>>>.
And,
The world renown scholars, Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown, in their commentary said:
<<<"[[Romans]] 7, 8. For if the truth of God, &c.-A further illustration of the same sentiment: that is, "Such reasoning amounts to this-which indeed we who preach salvation by free grace are slanderously accused of teaching-that the more evil we do, the more glory will redound to God; a d**nable principle." (Thus the apostle, instead of refuting this principle, thinks it enough to hold it up to execration, as one that shocks the moral sense).
On this brief section, Note (1) Mark the place here assigned to the Scriptures. In answer to the question, "What advantage hath the Jew?" or, "What profit is there of circumcision?" (Ro 3:1) those holding Romish views would undoubtedly have laid the stress upon the priesthood, as the glory of the Jewish economy. But in the apostle's esteem, "the oracles of God" were the jewel of the ancient Church (Ro 3:1, 2). (2) God's eternal purposes and man's free agency, as also the doctrine of salvation by grace and the unchanging obligations of God's law, have ever been subjected to the charge of inconsistency by those who will bow to no truth which their own reason cannot fathom. But amidst all the clouds and darkness which in this present state envelop the divine administration and many of the truths of the Bible, such broad and deep principles as are here laid down, and which shine in their own luster, will be found the sheet-anchor of our faith. "Let God be true, and every man a liar" (Ro 3:4); and as many advocates of salvation by grace as say, "Let us do evil that good may come," "their d**nation is just" (Ro 3:8)." [source - Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown]>>>.
And,
Dustin Curlee said in a blog. Post,
<<<" Romans 3:7-8
In vs.3-4 the faithlessness of the Jews in juxtaposition to the unending faithfulness of God is made manifest. Paul anticipates the question, What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? His answer - By no means! It was assumed that only "some" were unfaithful. This was part of the question. Notice, What if some...Does their... Now, a clarifier of Paul's answer to the anticipated question is in v.4 where he says, Let God be found true though every man found a liar. Paul says "every man," and not some, or their. More, he says "let every man be found a liar." In v.5 the sequence continues with, But if our unrighteousness... And now, in our verse today, we read, But if through my lie... So, not only is our verse today, and its question, tied into Paul's statement in v.4, but we see a change in the pronouns throughout this pericope of Scripture. Let me attempt to make this simpler. In v.1 we hear of a race of people called Jews; in v.3 we see in the question the pronoun "some" - the scope becomes narrower; in v.5 the pronoun becomes "our"; in v.7 it is now "my." We see Jews, some, our, and my. In addition to the pronoun changes, in v.4 the statement is that "every man" is found to be a "liar." This cannot be severed from the usage of "lie" in v.7.
Now I will prayerfully seek to unpack this last statement a bit. I'm aware of its depth. I know of its theological implications. Although I am an adherent to the Bible's teaching on the absolute totality of God's sovereignty, as I memorized Roman's I wrestled with the weight of some of these texts. So please understand, the idea that every man, including me, is found to be a liar, and yet is still held accountable, is still staggering - though I concede to its truth. As well, to know that my unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God is overwhelming at times. And it must have been even harder for these 1st century Jews to hear such things. Historical and ancient Jewish writings reveal to us that the Jews have always believed in hard determinism where God's sovereignty is concerned, but now Paul is revealing the truth that this election of God's, this total sovereignty, does not include all Jews as a race. Part of his revealing this is by way of v.4 and his recitation of Psalm 51:4. The Psalmist says, and prevail when you are judged. So, synopsized, Paul reveals that the Jews had an advantage in having the oracles of God, but some were unfaithful. However, this faithlessness is God's plan so that His faithfulness is revealed. God will be found true, or righteous, though every man be found a liar, or unrighteous. The Psalmist is referenced in anticipation of a judgment toward God in light of such a truth. Then it is asked that if unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, do we call into question the righteousness of God for inflicting wrath upon us? The answer, in essence, says that God judges the whole world justly, simply because He is God. And so if through our lie, or unrighteousness, or faithlessness, the truth of God abounds for His own glory, then why are still called sinners? As well, if this is the way God works, why not do Him a favor and commit more evil so that more good may come? Here is where I move forward.
Wrapped up in those two questions is an arrogance and a pride that cannot be fully fathomed, yet! These two questions truly ask, Then if God is so sovereign that my unrighteousness, manifested in any form, reveals His glory and justness, how can He still hold me responsible? And if this is the case, I should continue doing evil to glorify God. The first question presupposes, erroneously, a freedom that we do not have; the second question, or statement, as it were, reveals the sinful foundation for asking the first question, and the result of a sinful heart realizing how sovereign God actually is. Here is what I mean - the first question presupposes freedom. In other words, the first question says, I have a free will. More, I am somehow independent of God in morality. It must be this way or else He could not hold me responsible for sinning. Where is this proven in Scripture? Paul says, Has the potter no right over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use (Romans 9:21). Notice, we are referred to as "lumps of clay," and coming from the same mold as the dishonorable vessel (also referred to as a "vessel of wrath" in v.23). And in Scripture we see the revelation that God causes armies to move upon people, swords to be raised in murder, and a Christ to be crucified on a torture stick, and yet He holds the people accountable for what He has decreed! I have run out of space. If I continued I fear this would be far too long for a morning devotional. So I will pick up here tomorrow!"

TRUTH REVEALED WELL IN AN OLD BOOK WHOSE TITLE PAGE HAD BEEN LOST:
<<<" Keep in mind that Paul is carrying on an argument with an imaginary objector. This is how the conversation plays out.
Objector: You say that there is no difference between Gentile and Jew and they are in exactly the same position.
Paul: By no means.
Objector: What is the difference?
Paul: For one thing, the Jews possess what the Gentiles never directly possessed, the commandments of God.
Objector: Yes. But what if some Jews disobeyed these commandments and were unfaithful to God and came under His condemnation? You say that God gave the Jews a special position and a special promise. Now you say that at least some of them are under the condemnation of god. Does that mean that God has broken His promise and shown Himself to be unjust and unreliable?
Paul: Far from it. It does show that there is no favoritism with God and that God punishes sin wherever He finds it. The fact that He condemns the unfaithful Jews is the best possible proof of His absolute justice. He might have been expected to overlook the sins of this special people, but He does not.
Objector: OK, but what you have done is to succeed in showing that my disobedience has given God an opportunity to demonstrate His righteousness. In other words, my unfaithfulness has given God a great opportunity to demonstrate His faithfulness. My sin is, therefore, an excellent thing. It has given God a chance to show how good He is. I may have done evil, but good has come of it. You surely can't condemn someone for giving God a chance to show His justice.
Paul: An argument like that is beneath contempt. You have only to state it to see how intolerable it really is." [source - an old book whose title page had been lost]>>>.
So as we can see, this worshipper of a false god, in this case, the old middle eastern celestial moon god, "Allah," was trying to be very negative and to twist a scripture out of context that he knew nothing about. Many others of his group try to do likewise.
WORSHIPPERS OF FALSE GOD(S) ACTUALLY SERVE SATAN THE DEVIL UNKNOWINGLY:
Let's face it, the Devil does not want Almighty God's (YHWH's) book of guidance, the Bible, to be read by the masses. So? It is reasonable to assume that he and his wicked associates and human cohorts would seek to cause people to question its reliability and credibility.
Also, it is reasonable that he and his 'gang' would do everything to corrupt the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Creator of All there is, the Bible, and try to misled and turn people away from Almighty God (YHWH). And indeed he has through the centuries; to wit, various individuals have tried to add to certain verses and books, and to take scripture out of context so as to confuse issues and to try and have the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible, held in low regard.
But, now the question is, did they succeed in corrupting the words of Almighty God (YHWH)? Would Almighty God (YHWH) allow them to do so? NO! Throughout the Holy Scriptures, Almighty God (YHWH) affirms that he would preserve his words such as at Isaiah 40:8, "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." (Authorized King James Bible; AV); and at 1 Peter 1:24-25, "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." (AV).
Likewise, the takeoff from the Bible, the Qur'an says at Sura 6:34, [PICKTHAL version] Messengers indeed have been denied before thee, and they were patient under the denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them. There is none to alter the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached thee (somewhat) of the tidings of the messengers (We sent before). Here, we see a distortion of the Bible contained in a Bible knockoff made by a wicked pervert who was sexually aroused by a mere child (female) of six (6) years of age with whom he consumated out his perverted sexual fantasies when the child was only nine (9) years of age. As is to be noted, Satan the Devil chooses his wicked cohorts with great care; to wit, picking the most evil, hateful, lustful of all. Not only did this particular one lust for perverted sex with minors, he lusted for violence and to steal the goods of others. But let's now look at the proof of what I just wrote from credible Islamic sources:
It is difficult to accept that the so called "Holy Prophet?" married Aisha when she was 6-years-old and consummated his marriage with her when she was 9. He was then, 54 years old. But this is reality and well documented. His cult followers of today attempt to just his pedophilism and that of his modern day followers with uncalled for lies and cover up of the truth, but their own Hadiths 'out them.'
Now for individuals who have not had much contact with Islam, one encyclopedia defines 'Hadith' as follows:
<<<" Hadith (?????? transliteration: al-?adith, pl. a?adith; lit. "narrative") are oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hadith collections are regarded as important tools for determining the Sunnah, or Muslim way of life, by all traditional schools of jurisprudence." [source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]>>>.
Now let's look in brief at exerts from some of these Hadiths with regard the (false) prophet being a pedophile who was pervertedly sexually aroused by a six (6) year old girl with whom he consumated the arousal with sexual intercourse at nine (9) years old.
Now evidence that Aisha was only nine (9) when the (false) Prophet Muhammad had sexual relations for her is found in some of the most respected and reliable Hadiths such as the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari. Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, while at the Islamic University in Medina, Saudi Arabia, translated this Hadith into English, and this Hadith is considered by many in Islam as second only to the Quran. In fact, this translation was signed off by Dr. Amin Amin Al-Masri, Ph.D. Cambridge University. Who is the Advisor and Head of the Sharia Dept., at the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies in Mecca.
[1] Bukhari vol. 7, #65:
"Narrated Aisha that the prophet wrote the marriage contract with her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: 'I have been informed that Aisha remained with the prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).'"[source - Bukhari, vol. 7, #65]
[2] Bukhari vol. 7, #88:
"Narrated Urwa: 'The prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).'" [source - Bukhari, vol. 7, #88]
[3] Bukhari vol. 5, #234 says:
"Narrated Aisha: The prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Harith Kharzraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's messenger came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age." [source - Bukhari, vol. 5, #234]
Now let's look at English translations of other well regarded Hadiths:
[1] Sahih Muslim vol. 2, #3309 says:
"Aisha reported: Allah's Messenger married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine...." [source - Hadith of Sahih Muslim vol. 2, #3309]
[2] The Sunan of Abu Dawud, vol. 2, #2116 says:
""Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old." (The narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years."). "He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old." [source - The Hadith of Sunan of Abu Dawud - the third most respected Hadith in all of Islam.]
Now let's consider what credible and respectable encyclopedias have to say:
[1] <<<"'The Encyclopedia of Islam', under "Aisha". (pub. by E.J. Brill).
"Some time after the death of Khadija, Khawla suggested to Muhammad that he should marry either Aisha, the 6 year old daughter of his chief follower, or Sawda Zama, a widow of about 30, who had gone as a Muslim to Abyssinia and whose husband had died there. Muhammad is said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry both [[What a way for a pedophile to get more sexual pleasure]]. It had already been agreed that Aisha should marry Djubayr Mutim, whose father, though still pagan, was friendly to the Muslims. By common consent, however, this agreement was set aside, and Muhammad was betrothed to Aisha.... The marriage was not consummated until some months after the Hidjra, (in April 623, 624). Aisha went to live in an apartment in Muhammad's house, later the mosque of Median. She cannot have been more than ten years old at the time and took her toys to her new home." [source - 'The Encyclopedia of Islam,' published by E. J. Brill.]>>>.
So clearly she was a young child and NOT as some falsely allege to cover up for the false prophet about 18 years old. No 18 year old girl still plays with child's toys unless mentally defective, and Aisha definitely was NOT mentally defective and later led armies.
In fact, members of worshippers have tried to corrupt the Bible. Here are several examples,
[1] <<<" In an incredible lapse of logic and common sense, Muslims actually use these two pages from the Scofield reference Bible as proof Allah is found in the Bible. With a sensationalistic headline: "Now you see Allah! Now you don't", it tricks the reader into thinking there is some conspiracy going on. ("Muslims stay up late at night thinking up new conspiracy theories and readily embrace them regardless how ridiculous they really are!)
Here is why the Muslim proof of Allah in the Bible using the Scofield reference Bible as proof, is completely false and without any merit at all:
The Bible does not contain the word Allah, it is within a commentary section in the words of Scofield, where he uses the word "Elah" and "Alah".
Scofield's comments do not prove Allah is used in the Bible, but are his own personal opinions. Muslims should understand that Scofield's footnoted comments on the Bible are exactly the same as Yusuf Ali's footnoted comments in the Koran.
Scofield does not use the word "Allah", but "Elah" and "Alah".
Commentators opinions are no proof Allah is in the Bible!
The fact remains that in the Hebrew original text of the Bible, the word "Allah" is never found!
Finally, it is obvious that the consensus of modern scholarship disagreed with Scofield's opinion and for this reason, removed it from the revised edition. It is very unlikely they were thinking of Islam at all when they chose to remove the comments." [source - www.bible.ca/islam/islam-bible-allah.htm]
[2] A translation, the Chickewa Bible - 'Buku Loyera' - used in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, renders the Tetragrammation (YHWH) - the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham's as "Chauta," the name of a tribal god meaning 'Great One of the Bow.' But the wicked translators of this version claim to be worshipping true God (YHWH) of Abraham when they are not. Their justification for using "chauta" is the fact that most local people use this term to mean god, but in fact this is wrong as there is actually another term for god strictly as a title. Also, they could have and should have used the Tetragrammation (YHWH) - the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham.[source - The Bible Translator, of October 1992].
[3] One notable intentional corruption of one version of the Bible, The Authentic New Testament by Hugh J. Schonfield occurred because an evil member of his staff substituted the name of an Arabian tribal god, "Allah," in place of the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham by one of his staff who was a member of Islam. However, proofreaders quickly caught this and later editions of this Bible, The Authentic New Testament by Hugh J. Schonfield (Sd) have no such ungodly error. Unfortunately, 'game play' by evil ones such as that just mentioned occur from time to time. So what do these intentional errors prove? They prove that many are not interested in fact but only in perpetuating their favorite myth or untruth.[source - a writer writing under a pseudonym in 2001],
Thus, all attempts to change Almighty God's (YHWH's) words have come to nothing because it is inconceivable that Almighty God (YHWH) would permit any manipulation of his words. Therefore we can rest assured that the text of the Bible is authentic by taking a closer look at the old manuscripts that still exist. When we do, we will note the accuracy with which the Bible has been copied.
Why do worshippers of false god(s) act this way? Simple, they, as previously mentioned are under the control of Satan the Devil (for details see 2 Corinthians 4:4).
CONCLUSION:
[1] Worshippers of false gods are actually being directed by Almighty God (YHWH) arch enemy Satan the Devil, the god of this system of things without knowing it.
[2] Since their 'true' leader wants Biblical truths hidden, he moves them to try and confuse the issues and scriptures and to make false comments about the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible. Do not be fooled or confused by these workers of lawlessness under the control of Satan.

INTRODUCTION:
Worshippers of false god(s) do not know how to deal with scripture in context, but almost always deal with it out of context whether they be worshippers of the old middle eastern celestial moon god, 'Allah,' or other false gods such as "Chauta," the name of a tribal god meaning 'Great One of the Bow' in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia.
They try to make scriptures in the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible, appear negative by taking them out of context and giving them a negative twist. Of course this is just plain wicked and evil, but they are driven by their real god, the god of this system of things identified at 2 Corinthians 4:4, "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (ASV) as none other than Satan the Devil. He, Satan, does NOT want individuals to realize that the Bible is indeed the word of Almighty God (YHWH), and contains his guide for mankind today.
Anything taken out of context and/or isolated from its context can seem wrong or negative, but we must bear in mind that if we closely research a scripture in context, its meaning and/or significance may be very different than it would appear taken out of context and/or in isolation. In fact, Although an element may on one occasion have a negative connotation in the scriptures in the Bible; it may be used to represent something elsewhere in the scriptures - context makes all the difference as clearly shown with 1 Peter 5:8-9, "Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world." (American Standard Version: ASV), where Satan the Devil is likened onto a lion, thus picturing his dangerous, vicious nature.
Whereas at Revelation 5:1-5, "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof." (American Standard Version: ASV), in this latter case, the lion is used as a symbol of courageous justice to symbolize Jesus (Yeshua) position in the culmination of the end times.
AN EXAMPLE OF A WORSHIPPER OF A FALSE GOD TAKING A SCRIPTURE OUT OF CONTEXT:
One worshipper of a false god actually said,
<<<" Don't get mad if anyone called a L-I-A-R, you can't be better than your PAUL :
I AND EVERYONE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU LIE :
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:7 (New King James Version)" [source - abuali-almaghribi, a worshipper of a false god on 9/21/2008]>>>.
You will note, that this worshipper of a false god was calling both myself and the Apostle Paul liars, but he even lacked a basic understanding of Romans 3:7, and was taking it out of context. Now let's look at what this scripture means in context. that the Apostle Paul was having a sort of imaginary argument with himself to illustrate a very important point to his audience.
Romans 3:7, "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. 3 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. 5 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just." (American Standard Version: ASV).
However, those lacking Bible knowledge fail to grasp this point, and think the Apostle Paul is saying he is lying due to how this scripture is rendered in a style of argumentation NOT that common today. And fail to realize he is using an imaginary argument with himself to put a very important point across which a publication, "Insight on the Scriptures," says,
<<<" The above is the argument that Paul used in his letter to the Romans, saying: "If our unrighteousness brings God's righteousness to the fore, what shall we say? God is not unjust when he vents his wrath, is he? (I am speaking as a man does.) Never may that happen! How, otherwise, will God judge the world? Yet if by reason of my lie [compare Ps 62:9] the truth of God has been made more prominent to his glory, why am I also yet being judged as a sinner? And why not say, just as it is falsely charged to us and just as some men state that we say: 'Let us do the bad things that the good things may come'? The judgment against those men is in harmony with justice." (Ro 3:5-8) God has delivered his people, not for a course of sin, but for a life of righteousness, that they may glorify Him. The apostle says later in his letter: "Neither go on presenting your members to sin as weapons of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, also your members to God as weapons of righteousness."-Ro 6:12, 13." [source - Insight on the Scriptures, Vol. 2]>>>.
And several other credible sources said the following,
World renown Bible scholar, John Gill, says of Romans 3:7:
<<<"through my lie to his glory:
nothing is more opposite to truth than a lie; a lie of itself can never be of any advantage to truth, or to the God of truth; nothing is more contrary to the nature of God, and more abominable to him; a lie is of the devil, and punishable with eternal death; wherefore it may seem strange, that the truth of God should abound through it to his glory: now let it be observed, that the apostle is not speaking of himself, nor of his lie of unbelief, in his state of unregeneracy; but in the person of a sinful man, "for every man is a liar", (Romans 3:4) , as he says, "I speak as a man", (Romans 3:5) ; representing a wicked man, who from what was before said, might collect this as the sense of it, that the truth of God is illustrated by the lies of men: and so much may be owned as the apostle's sense, that the truth of God is commended, illustrated, and made to abound, when it is asserted, that he is true and faithful, and every man is a liar, fallacious, and deceitful; "let God be true, and every man a liar", (Romans 3:4) : moreover, the truth of God may be allowed to abound through the lies of men, in a comparative sense, the one being set against the other; and so as contraries do, illustrate each other: this may be assented to, as that sometimes a lie has been overruled by God, for the accomplishing of his purposes and promises, in which his truth and faithfulness have been displayed, as in the cases of Jacob and the Egyptian midwives; but then this does not arise from its nature and tendency, but from the overruling wisdom and providence of God, and therefore not to be excused hereby from sin; and consequently the inference from it is not just, that therefore "no man can, or ought to be, judged as a sinner"; since his sin turns to such account, as to make for the glory of God, which is intimated in the question:
why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
if this be the case, I ought not to be reckoned a sinner, or to be treated as such here, or judged and condemned as one hereafter, which is a most wicked, as well as weak consequence; for though God is true and faithful to his promises, notwithstanding the sins of his people, which are as a foil, to set off the lustre of his truth the more, yet their sins are nevertheless sins, and are taken notice of by him as such, and they are corrected for them; and however God may overrule, in a providential way, the sins of others for his glory, this is no excuse for their sins, nor will it be an exemption of them from punishment. This is the sense of the passage; unless by "the truth of God" should be meant, the Gospel, the word of truth, which is of God; and which through the apostle's "lie", as the Jews might call his ministration of it, "abounded to" the "glory" of God; being spread far and near, and made useful for the conversion of sinners, for turning men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God; and for the planting of churches in the Gentile world, as well as in Judea; which much conduced to the honour of God, and the interest of true religion: and then the meaning of the last clause is, "why yet am I also judged as a sinner?" why am I accounted and condemned as an heretic? as an apostate from the faith? as he was by the Jews, and who are used to call heretics sinners: so "the sinner" in (Ecclesiastes 7:26) is thus interpreted F16, (Mynymh wla) "these are the heretics": and elsewhere it F17 is observed, that concerning the heretics it is said, (Proverbs 10:7) , "the name of the wicked shall rot": and I very much suspect this to be the sense of the word in (John 9:24) , "we know that this man is a sinner"; an heretic, a man of bad principles; and in (John 9:31) ; "now we know that God heareth not sinners"; men of corrupt minds; since this character stands opposed to a worshipper of the God of Israel." [source - The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible]>>>.
And,
The world renown scholars, Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown, in their commentary said:
<<<"[[Romans]] 7, 8. For if the truth of God, &c.-A further illustration of the same sentiment: that is, "Such reasoning amounts to this-which indeed we who preach salvation by free grace are slanderously accused of teaching-that the more evil we do, the more glory will redound to God; a d**nable principle." (Thus the apostle, instead of refuting this principle, thinks it enough to hold it up to execration, as one that shocks the moral sense).
On this brief section, Note (1) Mark the place here assigned to the Scriptures. In answer to the question, "What advantage hath the Jew?" or, "What profit is there of circumcision?" (Ro 3:1) those holding Romish views would undoubtedly have laid the stress upon the priesthood, as the glory of the Jewish economy. But in the apostle's esteem, "the oracles of God" were the jewel of the ancient Church (Ro 3:1, 2). (2) God's eternal purposes and man's free agency, as also the doctrine of salvation by grace and the unchanging obligations of God's law, have ever been subjected to the charge of inconsistency by those who will bow to no truth which their own reason cannot fathom. But amidst all the clouds and darkness which in this present state envelop the divine administration and many of the truths of the Bible, such broad and deep principles as are here laid down, and which shine in their own luster, will be found the sheet-anchor of our faith. "Let God be true, and every man a liar" (Ro 3:4); and as many advocates of salvation by grace as say, "Let us do evil that good may come," "their d**nation is just" (Ro 3:8)." [source - Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown]>>>.
And,
Dustin Curlee said in a blog. Post,
<<<" Romans 3:7-8
In vs.3-4 the faithlessness of the Jews in juxtaposition to the unending faithfulness of God is made manifest. Paul anticipates the question, What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? His answer - By no means! It was assumed that only "some" were unfaithful. This was part of the question. Notice, What if some...Does their... Now, a clarifier of Paul's answer to the anticipated question is in v.4 where he says, Let God be found true though every man found a liar. Paul says "every man," and not some, or their. More, he says "let every man be found a liar." In v.5 the sequence continues with, But if our unrighteousness... And now, in our verse today, we read, But if through my lie... So, not only is our verse today, and its question, tied into Paul's statement in v.4, but we see a change in the pronouns throughout this pericope of Scripture. Let me attempt to make this simpler. In v.1 we hear of a race of people called Jews; in v.3 we see in the question the pronoun "some" - the scope becomes narrower; in v.5 the pronoun becomes "our"; in v.7 it is now "my." We see Jews, some, our, and my. In addition to the pronoun changes, in v.4 the statement is that "every man" is found to be a "liar." This cannot be severed from the usage of "lie" in v.7.
Now I will prayerfully seek to unpack this last statement a bit. I'm aware of its depth. I know of its theological implications. Although I am an adherent to the Bible's teaching on the absolute totality of God's sovereignty, as I memorized Roman's I wrestled with the weight of some of these texts. So please understand, the idea that every man, including me, is found to be a liar, and yet is still held accountable, is still staggering - though I concede to its truth. As well, to know that my unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God is overwhelming at times. And it must have been even harder for these 1st century Jews to hear such things. Historical and ancient Jewish writings reveal to us that the Jews have always believed in hard determinism where God's sovereignty is concerned, but now Paul is revealing the truth that this election of God's, this total sovereignty, does not include all Jews as a race. Part of his revealing this is by way of v.4 and his recitation of Psalm 51:4. The Psalmist says, and prevail when you are judged. So, synopsized, Paul reveals that the Jews had an advantage in having the oracles of God, but some were unfaithful. However, this faithlessness is God's plan so that His faithfulness is revealed. God will be found true, or righteous, though every man be found a liar, or unrighteous. The Psalmist is referenced in anticipation of a judgment toward God in light of such a truth. Then it is asked that if unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, do we call into question the righteousness of God for inflicting wrath upon us? The answer, in essence, says that God judges the whole world justly, simply because He is God. And so if through our lie, or unrighteousness, or faithlessness, the truth of God abounds for His own glory, then why are still called sinners? As well, if this is the way God works, why not do Him a favor and commit more evil so that more good may come? Here is where I move forward.
Wrapped up in those two questions is an arrogance and a pride that cannot be fully fathomed, yet! These two questions truly ask, Then if God is so sovereign that my unrighteousness, manifested in any form, reveals His glory and justness, how can He still hold me responsible? And if this is the case, I should continue doing evil to glorify God. The first question presupposes, erroneously, a freedom that we do not have; the second question, or statement, as it were, reveals the sinful foundation for asking the first question, and the result of a sinful heart realizing how sovereign God actually is. Here is what I mean - the first question presupposes freedom. In other words, the first question says, I have a free will. More, I am somehow independent of God in morality. It must be this way or else He could not hold me responsible for sinning. Where is this proven in Scripture? Paul says, Has the potter no right over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use (Romans 9:21). Notice, we are referred to as "lumps of clay," and coming from the same mold as the dishonorable vessel (also referred to as a "vessel of wrath" in v.23). And in Scripture we see the revelation that God causes armies to move upon people, swords to be raised in murder, and a Christ to be crucified on a torture stick, and yet He holds the people accountable for what He has decreed! I have run out of space. If I continued I fear this would be far too long for a morning devotional. So I will pick up here tomorrow!"

TRUTH REVEALED WELL IN AN OLD BOOK WHOSE TITLE PAGE HAD BEEN LOST:
<<<" Keep in mind that Paul is carrying on an argument with an imaginary objector. This is how the conversation plays out.
Objector: You say that there is no difference between Gentile and Jew and they are in exactly the same position.
Paul: By no means.
Objector: What is the difference?
Paul: For one thing, the Jews possess what the Gentiles never directly possessed, the commandments of God.
Objector: Yes. But what if some Jews disobeyed these commandments and were unfaithful to God and came under His condemnation? You say that God gave the Jews a special position and a special promise. Now you say that at least some of them are under the condemnation of god. Does that mean that God has broken His promise and shown Himself to be unjust and unreliable?
Paul: Far from it. It does show that there is no favoritism with God and that God punishes sin wherever He finds it. The fact that He condemns the unfaithful Jews is the best possible proof of His absolute justice. He might have been expected to overlook the sins of this special people, but He does not.
Objector: OK, but what you have done is to succeed in showing that my disobedience has given God an opportunity to demonstrate His righteousness. In other words, my unfaithfulness has given God a great opportunity to demonstrate His faithfulness. My sin is, therefore, an excellent thing. It has given God a chance to show how good He is. I may have done evil, but good has come of it. You surely can't condemn someone for giving God a chance to show His justice.
Paul: An argument like that is beneath contempt. You have only to state it to see how intolerable it really is." [source - an old book whose title page had been lost]>>>.
So as we can see, this worshipper of a false god, in this case, the old middle eastern celestial moon god, "Allah," was trying to be very negative and to twist a scripture out of context that he knew nothing about. Many others of his group try to do likewise.
WORSHIPPERS OF FALSE GOD(S) ACTUALLY SERVE SATAN THE DEVIL UNKNOWINGLY:
Let's face it, the Devil does not want Almighty God's (YHWH's) book of guidance, the Bible, to be read by the masses. So? It is reasonable to assume that he and his wicked associates and human cohorts would seek to cause people to question its reliability and credibility.
Also, it is reasonable that he and his 'gang' would do everything to corrupt the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Creator of All there is, the Bible, and try to misled and turn people away from Almighty God (YHWH). And indeed he has through the centuries; to wit, various individuals have tried to add to certain verses and books, and to take scripture out of context so as to confuse issues and to try and have the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible, held in low regard.
But, now the question is, did they succeed in corrupting the words of Almighty God (YHWH)? Would Almighty God (YHWH) allow them to do so? NO! Throughout the Holy Scriptures, Almighty God (YHWH) affirms that he would preserve his words such as at Isaiah 40:8, "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." (Authorized King James Bible; AV); and at 1 Peter 1:24-25, "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." (AV).
Likewise, the takeoff from the Bible, the Qur'an says at Sura 6:34, [PICKTHAL version] Messengers indeed have been denied before thee, and they were patient under the denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them. There is none to alter the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached thee (somewhat) of the tidings of the messengers (We sent before). Here, we see a distortion of the Bible contained in a Bible knockoff made by a wicked pervert who was sexually aroused by a mere child (female) of six (6) years of age with whom he consumated out his perverted sexual fantasies when the child was only nine (9) years of age. As is to be noted, Satan the Devil chooses his wicked cohorts with great care; to wit, picking the most evil, hateful, lustful of all. Not only did this particular one lust for perverted sex with minors, he lusted for violence and to steal the goods of others. But let's now look at the proof of what I just wrote from credible Islamic sources:
It is difficult to accept that the so called "Holy Prophet?" married Aisha when she was 6-years-old and consummated his marriage with her when she was 9. He was then, 54 years old. But this is reality and well documented. His cult followers of today attempt to just his pedophilism and that of his modern day followers with uncalled for lies and cover up of the truth, but their own Hadiths 'out them.'
Now for individuals who have not had much contact with Islam, one encyclopedia defines 'Hadith' as follows:
<<<" Hadith (?????? transliteration: al-?adith, pl. a?adith; lit. "narrative") are oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hadith collections are regarded as important tools for determining the Sunnah, or Muslim way of life, by all traditional schools of jurisprudence." [source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]>>>.
Now let's look in brief at exerts from some of these Hadiths with regard the (false) prophet being a pedophile who was pervertedly sexually aroused by a six (6) year old girl with whom he consumated the arousal with sexual intercourse at nine (9) years old.
Now evidence that Aisha was only nine (9) when the (false) Prophet Muhammad had sexual relations for her is found in some of the most respected and reliable Hadiths such as the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari. Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, while at the Islamic University in Medina, Saudi Arabia, translated this Hadith into English, and this Hadith is considered by many in Islam as second only to the Quran. In fact, this translation was signed off by Dr. Amin Amin Al-Masri, Ph.D. Cambridge University. Who is the Advisor and Head of the Sharia Dept., at the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies in Mecca.
[1] Bukhari vol. 7, #65:
"Narrated Aisha that the prophet wrote the marriage contract with her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: 'I have been informed that Aisha remained with the prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).'"[source - Bukhari, vol. 7, #65]
[2] Bukhari vol. 7, #88:
"Narrated Urwa: 'The prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).'" [source - Bukhari, vol. 7, #88]
[3] Bukhari vol. 5, #234 says:
"Narrated Aisha: The prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Harith Kharzraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's messenger came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age." [source - Bukhari, vol. 5, #234]
Now let's look at English translations of other well regarded Hadiths:
[1] Sahih Muslim vol. 2, #3309 says:
"Aisha reported: Allah's Messenger married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine...." [source - Hadith of Sahih Muslim vol. 2, #3309]
[2] The Sunan of Abu Dawud, vol. 2, #2116 says:
""Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old." (The narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years."). "He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old." [source - The Hadith of Sunan of Abu Dawud - the third most respected Hadith in all of Islam.]
Now let's consider what credible and respectable encyclopedias have to say:
[1] <<<"'The Encyclopedia of Islam', under "Aisha". (pub. by E.J. Brill).
"Some time after the death of Khadija, Khawla suggested to Muhammad that he should marry either Aisha, the 6 year old daughter of his chief follower, or Sawda Zama, a widow of about 30, who had gone as a Muslim to Abyssinia and whose husband had died there. Muhammad is said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry both [[What a way for a pedophile to get more sexual pleasure]]. It had already been agreed that Aisha should marry Djubayr Mutim, whose father, though still pagan, was friendly to the Muslims. By common consent, however, this agreement was set aside, and Muhammad was betrothed to Aisha.... The marriage was not consummated until some months after the Hidjra, (in April 623, 624). Aisha went to live in an apartment in Muhammad's house, later the mosque of Median. She cannot have been more than ten years old at the time and took her toys to her new home." [source - 'The Encyclopedia of Islam,' published by E. J. Brill.]>>>.
So clearly she was a young child and NOT as some falsely allege to cover up for the false prophet about 18 years old. No 18 year old girl still plays with child's toys unless mentally defective, and Aisha definitely was NOT mentally defective and later led armies.
In fact, members of worshippers have tried to corrupt the Bible. Here are several examples,
[1] <<<" In an incredible lapse of logic and common sense, Muslims actually use these two pages from the Scofield reference Bible as proof Allah is found in the Bible. With a sensationalistic headline: "Now you see Allah! Now you don't", it tricks the reader into thinking there is some conspiracy going on. ("Muslims stay up late at night thinking up new conspiracy theories and readily embrace them regardless how ridiculous they really are!)
Here is why the Muslim proof of Allah in the Bible using the Scofield reference Bible as proof, is completely false and without any merit at all:
The Bible does not contain the word Allah, it is within a commentary section in the words of Scofield, where he uses the word "Elah" and "Alah".
Scofield's comments do not prove Allah is used in the Bible, but are his own personal opinions. Muslims should understand that Scofield's footnoted comments on the Bible are exactly the same as Yusuf Ali's footnoted comments in the Koran.
Scofield does not use the word "Allah", but "Elah" and "Alah".
Commentators opinions are no proof Allah is in the Bible!
The fact remains that in the Hebrew original text of the Bible, the word "Allah" is never found!
Finally, it is obvious that the consensus of modern scholarship disagreed with Scofield's opinion and for this reason, removed it from the revised edition. It is very unlikely they were thinking of Islam at all when they chose to remove the comments." [source - www.bible.ca/islam/islam-bible-allah.htm]
[2] A translation, the Chickewa Bible - 'Buku Loyera' - used in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, renders the Tetragrammation (YHWH) - the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham's as "Chauta," the name of a tribal god meaning 'Great One of the Bow.' But the wicked translators of this version claim to be worshipping true God (YHWH) of Abraham when they are not. Their justification for using "chauta" is the fact that most local people use this term to mean god, but in fact this is wrong as there is actually another term for god strictly as a title. Also, they could have and should have used the Tetragrammation (YHWH) - the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham.[source - The Bible Translator, of October 1992].
[3] One notable intentional corruption of one version of the Bible, The Authentic New Testament by Hugh J. Schonfield occurred because an evil member of his staff substituted the name of an Arabian tribal god, "Allah," in place of the name of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham by one of his staff who was a member of Islam. However, proofreaders quickly caught this and later editions of this Bible, The Authentic New Testament by Hugh J. Schonfield (Sd) have no such ungodly error. Unfortunately, 'game play' by evil ones such as that just mentioned occur from time to time. So what do these intentional errors prove? They prove that many are not interested in fact but only in perpetuating their favorite myth or untruth.[source - a writer writing under a pseudonym in 2001],
Thus, all attempts to change Almighty God's (YHWH's) words have come to nothing because it is inconceivable that Almighty God (YHWH) would permit any manipulation of his words. Therefore we can rest assured that the text of the Bible is authentic by taking a closer look at the old manuscripts that still exist. When we do, we will note the accuracy with which the Bible has been copied.
Why do worshippers of false god(s) act this way? Simple, they, as previously mentioned are under the control of Satan the Devil (for details see 2 Corinthians 4:4).
CONCLUSION:
[1] Worshippers of false gods are actually being directed by Almighty God (YHWH) arch enemy Satan the Devil, the god of this system of things without knowing it.
[2] Since their 'true' leader wants Biblical truths hidden, he moves them to try and confuse the issues and scriptures and to make false comments about the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), Creator of all that exist, the Bible. Do not be fooled or confused by these workers of lawlessness under the control of Satan.
