THE CONFESSIONS of PAUL DAVID ALLWOOD

Paul Allwood: I grew up as a roman catholic and I was severely biased against and distrustful of BIBLE CHRISTIANITY...until I asked God to tell me what my sin was.
 Through Bible study with a friend I learned that from the beginning of my life 
I had been WISE IN MINE OWN EYES.
I thought i knew the difference between right and wrong,good and evil. 

(Proverbs 16:2-3) "All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.  {3} Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."

(Genesis 3:4-5) "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: {5} For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."


(Psalms 119:129-130) "פ (PE).Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. {130} The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."


(Ephesians 2:1-10) "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; {2} Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: {3} Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. {4} But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, {5} Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {6} And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: {7} That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. {8} For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: {9} Not of works, lest any man should boast. {10} For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

[1611kingjamesbible] This Week's Verse is 1 Corinthians 9:1

(KJV)   Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

(1611 KJV) Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? Are not you my worke in the Lord?

(1526 Tyndale) Am I not an Apostle? am I not fre? have I not sene Iesus Christoure lorde?*

*”are not ye my work in the Lord?” begins verse two in the Great Bible, Coverdale Bible, and Tyndale.  The translators of the Bishops Bible placed it back in verse one.  Keep in mind that the verse divisions are not inspired as the text is so they thought it added more clarity to verse one since verse one is a series of questions.

Affected Teaching

Here is another Gnostic attack on the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Gnostics did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah nor was He God manifest in the flesh.  What the Gnostics have done is to separate the name of the Lord Jesus from His divine title of Christ.  This is why the modern versions have kept the truncated form of the divine name because the modern versions espouse Gnosticism.  Gnosticism was alive and well even in the first century.  If you use a modern version you will come across the following.  I will use the ESV as an example of the heretical nature of the modern versions:

Acts 15:11 (KJV)   But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Acts 15:11 (ESV) But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”

In Acts 15:11, the ESV truncates the full name of the Lord Jesus Christ to “Lord Jesus”

Romans 16:18 (KJV)   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Romans 16:18 (ESV) For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

In Romans 16:18, the ESV truncates the full name of the Lord Jesus Christ to “Lord Christ.” 

2 Timothy 4:22 (KJV) The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

2 Timothy 4:22 (ESV) The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

In 2 Timothy 4:22, the ESV truncates the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to “Lord” completely leaving out His name.

1 Timothy 1:1 (KJV) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

1 Timothy 1:1 (ESV) Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

In 1 Timothy 1:1, the ESV truncates the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to “Christ Jesus” omitting “Lord.”  So those who use the modern versions are using Gnostic versions and perpetuating the Gnostic heresies of the first and second century.  If you say you love the Lord Jesus Christ, why would you use a counterfeit version that denigrates Him?
