THE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S Verses 7 and 8 are also omitted: “Behold, lie cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Only 127 of the 414 verses of this book are given. They print only three verses in Chap ter 4 of 1 Timothy, and only nineteen verses of Chapter 6, containing instruc tions from Paul regarding church life and guidance for the officials of the church, and warning against false and new-fangled teachers. Read this epistle and ask yourself WHY these verses were omitted. In 2 Timothy they give us 25 verses leaving out all of the second and third chapters, and the first three verses of Chapter 4, thus getting rid of all the warnings against false teachers and the picture of the last days. WHY? They do not think it necessary to print 1 Timothy 1:12, 13, 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for th at he counted me faith ful, putting me into the m inistry; 13 Who was ÿbefore a blasphemer, and a per secutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. üor 1 Timothy 3:16, 17, and have omit ted Titus altogether. WHY? And es pecially why did they omit Titus 2:11- 15: “ For the grace of God th at bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. y Teaching us th at denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, rig h t eously and godly in this present world; Looking for th at blessed hope, and the glo rious appearing of the great God and our Sav iour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us th at he m ight -redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar, people, zealous of good works.' These things .speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee/' (Not even a Yale professor!) In Romans, they have omitted the 11th to 18th verses of the third chap ter : 11 There is none th at understandeth, there is none th at seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none th at doèth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat .i s an open sepulchre ; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and b itter ness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and m isery are in their ways:
805 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. WHY? Also, they have omitted the entire fourth chapter with the exception of the 13th verse, all of the ninth chapter, all of the eleventh chapter excepting the last five verses, and 16:24-27, an allu sion to the mystery of the church (which they also omit from Ephesians). Space will not permit of our specify ing all the omissions which include 4023 VERSES and portions of many others. In the Gospels they omit mention of Jesus as the Lamb of God, and in the Gospel of John, twelve miracles, Lot’s wife, Jonah and the whale, and the warning to “beware of false proph ets”. WHY? They omit the verse “The Scripture cannot he broken”. WHY? The incident of the cursing of the fig tree is omitted, as is also the whole 24th chapter of Matthew, which con cerns the apostacy and the tribulation. In Acts, ten miracles are omitted; also the calling of the church and the coming of Christ, (Acts 15:13-18): 13 And after they had held their peace, Jambs answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the proph ets; as it is w ritten, 16 A fter this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 T hat the residue of men m ight seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. The doctrines which these eminent scholars have eliminated are, chiefly,— The Inspiration and Authority of the Word of God: The Atonement: False Teachers: Miracles: The Depravity of Human Nature: The Apostacy of the Church: The Second Coming of Our Lord. The word "grace” is used hut once. It is significant that the word “Lord” is seldom applied to Jesus. Now, these gentlemen tell us that they are giving the dear people the pas sages which contain the true heart of
