To Darin (farshort)

It is not "TRUE" to the "Received Text", the "Textus Receptus", the King James Bible--you are correct, it is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. It has a mixture of the "Received Text", the "Textus Receptus", that was used to create the King James Bible, [b]as well as a mixture throughout it of the corrupt "Revised Text" of Westcott and Hort, the "Revised New Testament", that was published in 1881. This version relied on the corrupt Vaticanius & Sinaiticus text that was used to create the Catholic Bible.[/b]

So, to be clear, this Bible contains truth, God's Word, interspersed with "leaven" (sin, error). We have the Word of God, the received text, passed down from the believing Church, along side the words of men, the Gnostics, who cut and pasted God's Word to agree with their own depraved minds, who created the Vaticanius & Sinaiticus text.

[b]1 Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. [/b]

Nave's Topical Bible is a book written by Orville James Nave (1841-1917) and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers. Nave was a chaplain in the United State Army and referred to his work as "the result of fourteen years of delight and untiring study of the Word of God." [1] It is a topical concordance of the Bible, and contains Biblical references to over 20,000 topics. Scripture is quoted over 100,000 times; the same Scripture citation may appear under several headings.

The topic headings are broad, covering many religious concepts, geographical regions, and names of Biblical figures. While theological concepts such as salvation and worship are included, a wide range of topics, such as Biblical references to ropes, are also included. This reflects the author's intention, as stated in the book's preface, to "...note and classify everything found in the Scriptures".

The book was written before the age of computers, and took fourteen years to complete. At least seven editions have been published, [b]based on the King James Version and Revised Version of the Bible.[/b] Each verse of the Bible is indexed according to the topics it is classified under. Christian figures such as Billy Graham have endorsed the book.

Sincerely,

Walter
