The "eyes" have it

We live in a time when some people who love to talk about evolution get nervous if you talk to them about God and their salvation. Why not open the door their way? Here is an example:
Evolutionary textbooks speculate that eyes gradually evolved from dark spots on the skin. They support eye evolution with an example: Fish that live for many generations in dark caves lose their eyesight.
Making fish go blind is the kind of thing that mutations (errors in copying DNA) might cause, but textbooks promoting evolution seem blind to the fact that fish going blind are not examples of eyes being formed, but being lost.
The speculation that eyes evolved from dark spots on the skin is contrary to the evidence: The most perfect eye lenses are found on trilobite fossils, index fossils of the Cambrian period. Fossils from before the Cambrian period were of soft bodied, mostly microscopic life. While fossil trilobite lenses are found by the thousands, the fossil record offers no evidence of lenses, or even of animals on which lenses could have been mounted, prior to the trilobites.
Atheistic evolutionist paleontologist Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History marvels:
“These lenses … optimize both light collecting and image formation better than any lens ever conceived. We can be justifiably amazed that these trilobites, very early in the history of life on Earth, hit upon the best possible lens design that optical physics has ever been able to formulate". YEAH RIGHT!

Warning to God's People - BEWARE!

There are false Bibles in the country!

They look like Bibles - they are called Bibles, but they are not the true Bible!
The authors of these false bibles have made many subtle changes to the true Bible text by adding words, taking away words and even removing whole verses and passages.
The changes that have been made are important. They insult Christ, obscure his deity, take away from His perfect work of salvation, and introduce confusion amongst Bible-reading churches.
These books are NOT God's Bible - they are corrupt and counterfeit imitations of it. They are the work of the Devil as described in 2 Corinthians 2:17 - "...many...which corrupt the word of God".

These counterfeits contain some of the truths in the Bible but also contain many devious alterations. They are like rat poison - ninety percent good food but it is the ten percent poison that KILLS.

These imitation bibles are not all the same either. Some editions alter certain words and verses while other editions subtract different words and verses.

CHECK THE BOOK YOU ARE USING AS YOUR BIBLE by noting the following four sample verses; if the words in your book are not exactly the same, word for word, as the words printed below then you have one of the Devil's corrupt and counterfeit bibles in your hand.

1. (1 John 5:7) - "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" .

2. (1 Peter 2:2) - "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby".

3. (Acts 8:37) - "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God".

4. (Luke 24:51, 52) - "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy."

Now did you notice any changes in the words of those verses within your own bible?

If so, then consider the character of the changes and differences.

Do you think that God would want those verses changed and those words omitted?

Satan certainly would! Just look in the first example - the whole verse is removed! And that particular verse is the most definitive statement in the whole Bible of the doctrine of the trinity, i.e. that our God is a Godhead, a three-in-one, just as man is who is made in the image of God , is a three-in-one also - body, soul and spirit. And also throughout creation there is this three-in-one seal, Space is length, breadth and height, Time is past, present, and future, the content of the universe is space, matter and time, Matter is energy, motion and phenomena and so on. And 1 John 5:7 which says "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one" is entirely removed!

In the second example, we are taught that the newborn believer grows by reading the Bible, but this is all obscured in the corrupted bibles.

Then the third example, the whole verse (which is one of the clearest statements of how to get saved and what it means to be baptised), is also missing in many of the corrupted bibles!

And in the final example, the fact that Jesus was worshipped by the disciples is removed!

Only God's enemy would want to make such alterations and deletions to God's Holy Scriptures!

And there are literally thousands more of such devilish changes.

Here are some of the standard lies that are circulated amongst the churches to get you to swap God's Holy Bible for one of the many corrupted and counterfeit "bibles" around today.

Lie # 1 - "the language of the Authorised (King James) Bible is old -fashioned and hard to understand" - yet for generations and centuries little children of five years old have been reading, memorising and believing it!

Lie # 2 - "There are better and older manuscripts available since the Authorised Bible was produced" - but they forget to tell you that the manuscripts to which they are referring have been shown over and over again to be examples of the worst corruptions in existence! Those manuscripts even disagree among themselves in over 3000 places in the four gospels alone! Not to mention MISSING OUT WHOLE BOOKS as well as including other books that no church (except Roman Catholicism) has ever believed to be part of God's Holy Scriptures!

Lie # 3 - "As long as your Bible has the fundamentals in it then it is God's word and He will use it" . . . but God says that a "little leaven leaveneth the WHOLE LUMP" . God only uses HIS Holy Scriptures, not Satanic imitations of it. Such counterfeits are cursed of God and He prohibits adding to or subtracting from His Bible.

Lie # 4 - "The Authorised translators have used incorrect and inconsistent methods of translating" .. . then the father of lies promptly goes and uses the same methods in his counterfeits. That is lying and hypocrisy.

Now is all this really important?

Yes, of the utmost importance. Because Satan knows (even if you dont) that an unsaved person can only be saved and born again by the "word of God"!

"Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17), and in 1 Peter 1:23 it says "being born again, not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by THE WORD OF GOD" - not devilish imitations of it!

Did you see that?!

And here is something else that Satan is MOST eager that you should not know . . he does not want you to know that there are really only TWO Bibles. All the versions (and there are hundreds of them!) come from either one or the other of these two text types.
One of those types is in fact a muddy, polluted torrent of corruption while the other is the pure stream of the Holy Scriptures of Truth. And every English translation, other than the Authorised Bible, comes from the same corrupt source, and differ only in the degree of their corruption, while the King James Authorised Bible is the only one from the pure source.
So any version you pick up from your local Bookstore that is NOT an Authorised Bible is just one of the variety of corrupted imitations drawn from the polluted well of texts.

Apart from all the technical data that is available on this immensely important matter (contact the NZ Beacon Bookshop for titles) the four samples texts given above should alert you to the solemn fact that Satan has been busy corrupting God's precious words from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden right down to our day.
