In response to the article on “Demonically inspired bible versions” I received the following email:
“Dr. Robertson,”
“While you make some wise statements (such as separating commentary and the Bible), much in this is just flat out wrong in so many areas. I've been working in linguistics for 20 years and also done a lot of studying in science and history and there is pretty much no document of history that we are sure is closer to the original autographs than the Bible. This chart summarizes the facts for the New Testament:
“See it here if you can't see it in this e-mail:

“While no translation can convey every nuance of the original language, it is absolutely ridiculous to assert that all Bibles have demonic influences involved in it. You're playing into the hands of atheists with this argument and MANY others you have made and basically calling Jesus and the apostles liars, since they put very strong confidence in the Bible. You are not using any sort of consistent standards in evaluation at all.
“I'm not sure why you are so afraid of trusting the Bible, but it's likely because you swallowed the myth of inerrancy. Please show me where the Bible claims that its writers are infallible. Inspired YES. But, where does being inspired mean that the author will never ever make a mistake again. It simply doesn't. But, the opposite demonic deception to that is to claim the Bible isn't inspired. Satan doesn't care whether we teach a deception that can cause disallusionment one one side or if we diminish the authority of the Bible to similar to secular books on the other. Either one is contributing to destroying faith and your claims in this area and others often are lining up with the arguments of atheists and do no spiritual good, and sometimes great harm to people.
I don't have time to answer you in detail right now.. but am trying to finish an article on translations..and will send it when I finish if I can remember..remind me in some weeks if I don't.

Following is my reply:
Dear B…
Thank you for your feedback
I have to say that having reread my article and read your comments a few times I am unclear why you say what you say about what I wrote
I advise AGAINST interpretative and paraphrase versions and you seem to read this as against all versions even though I recommend three versions and state that I have read the bible numerous times and recommend reading the full book so I am unclear how you draw your conclusions
I was NOT specific about the versions I was referring to because I try NOT to get into writing against specific people or items and because the problem is wider than the couple of versions that I am specifically aware of, Yah keeps me away from these things for the most part
In the interests of responding explicitly to your concerns two versions that I had in mind when I wrote were “The Living Bible” and “The Message” – both of these versions abound with human interpretation that goes way beyond the source manuscripts and Yah has told me NOT to read them, there are other such versions that should be avoided strenuously – since demons are behind human error these versions are axiomatically demonically inspired
Regarding your point about atheists, I have to say that anyone who in any way links the bible to combating atheism is FAR OFF THE MARK – the bible is a compilation of historical writings by diverse authors – it has been assembled by men, mostly from writings that a group of persons in about 600 AD by committee decided were inspired and declared to be “The Canon of Scripture”, these same men declared Ieousus (Jesus) to be God, legislated monogamy and perpetrated numerous other crimes of violence against the true teachings of the Almighty Creator
The book (which is what bible means – derived from the Greek “biblios” meaning book as in “Biblioteek” Afrikaans for library) is NOT in any way, shape or form an instrument to prove the existence of the Creator. Yah has clearly said this to many people, including saying it directly to me – eighteen months ago He said to me, as I walked past a large book store in a local mall “son of man, do you see how this people limits me to one tiny book!” – I looked into the bookstore and saw thousands of books which included the bible, supposedly the ONLY inspired book of its stature
B…, do you have any idea how absurd the statements that you make are? Do you have any idea how hurtful they are to Daddy Yah? He has inspired millions of people to write billions of pages and you place particular importance on a small book compiled from fragments of inspired writings
I myself, in the past 14 years have written roughly as many words regarding the things of Yah as are contained in the bible and I hold that at least some of those words contain a comparable level of inspiration to what is contained in the bible, Yah says “more”
I am ONE man, I still have, Yah willing, many years to live and, Yah willing, I intend to write much more, I have lists of articles that I have yet to write
There are numerous other men and women of this generation who have written works inspired at some level, including many highly inspired works
How do you justify a doctrine which says that Yah spoke to a minuscule number of men for a few fragments of time to inspire the writings in the bible and apart from that has been silent at the level of precision that is found in the bible?
The idea is preposterous – I say this with the full knowledge that for about eight years I believed this lie
I believed it until one day Yah informed me that the book was NOT His “Word”, was NOT all inspired, contained errors and that it was sin to worship the book!!!
It has taken me ten years to come to a place where I have largely worked my mistaken beliefs about the bible OUT of my system and now come to terms with the fact that it is a useful reference book PERIOD!
Did you know that there are 66 books in the modern Protestant bible?
Did you know that 6 is the number of man?
Did you know that 666 is the number of the beast – also known as Satan?
When I first took on belief about the bible Yah pointed the above out to me and said “men and Satan have been messing with the book, there are important manuscripts locked away in the vaults of the Vatican that contain information NOT in the book” – over time He told me that those missing manuscripts included some which clearly dispel the myth that Jesus is God, denounce the Trinity, denounce monogamy, etc
Yah taught me much through the bible and He taught me much in response to the questions I asked Him in response to what I read in the bible – frequently those answers came directly from Him and many other times they came through other writings, some inspired, some not that were NOT in the bible.
At some level Yah HATES the bible because of the lies men have woven around it, the bible is one of the greatest demonic strongholds on earth today, it is one of the most highly revered and worshiped Satanic idols of this age
What you write directly evidences this
Any person who comes to belief in God through statistics about the bible has done just that – come to belief in God (aka Satan) through worship of an idol
They way to Yah is to SEEK HIM because those who SEEK HIM will FIND HIM
I know that Yah exists NOT because of a little book that I happen to have dozens of copies of but because I have a deep personal relationship with Him
Because He leads me and guides me in every area of my life
Because I trust Him and know Him
Because when I was at the point of death HE SPOKE TO ME and brought me back from the very brink of damnation
After that, because men I trusted said the bible was “The Living Word of God” I took the book, held it up before Yah and vowed to believe that and asked Him to answer my questions, He did and after eight years He told me to read the Quran and after I read the Quran and read that Yahooshua (Isa, Jesus) was NOT Yah and that it was sin and angered Yah for people to worship him and that the bible was NOT the Word of God and that it was sin and angered Yah for people to worship the bible I went before Him and asked if it was true and he said it was – Yahooshua {Jesus} was a man and the bible was just a book – subsequently He sent Yahooshua to me to confirm that he was just a man – those two points alone divide Muslims and Christians and are at the root of the wars in the Middle East – the children of Abraham warring against each other over false doctrines – note that in the centuries since Mohammed the Muslims have ALSO got into much error so they war over the beams in one another’s eye’s
The answer to the atheist is NOT statistics about the book, it is a living relationship with the Almighty Creator and a sober understanding of the realities of this age
If you are still in the church you are deceived and in serious error because the church is deceived and in serious error
If you are still calling yourself a Christian, you are way out of line because Christianity worships a man they call Christ when Christ refers to the anointing of the Spirit of Yah ON men
If you are NOT in the wilderness desperately seeking Yah then your life is a futile waste of time
If you do NOT know HIS VOICE personally then you are hearing other voices and are destined for that judgment which says “depart from me you worker of iniquity I never KNEW YOU”
Can you honestly say that YOU know Yah and that, more importantly, Yah knows you?
If not your life is worthless
Unless you can persuade an atheist on the basis of your personal deep revelation of the reality of Yah and the basis of your deep personal EXPERIENCE of Yah your testimony is as filthy rags and your statistics about the book are idolatrous offerings on the altar of Satan
The reason there are such positive statistics about the bible is BECAUSE SATAN WANTS IT THAT WAY – it blesses Satan greatly to see sincere people like you write the sort of stuff you have written to me precisely because he WANTS people to worship the book and in-so-doing worship Satan
The fact that you cite twenty years of academic study and NOT twenty years of personal wall with the Almighty says MUCH about you and, my brother, it is NOT complimentary
I urge you to repent of your worship of the book and turn to worship the ONE TRUE MIGHTY ONE YAH THE ETERNALLY SELF-EXISTING and seek a deep personal relationship with Him!
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace and, by the way, pray constantly for Him to judge you severely and correct you harshly that you may serve Him more perfectly and ask Him constantly to show you the level of your present deception and how to correct it.
Once you have prayed those prayers consistently for a year let us talk again!
Warm regards and blessings,
James
Conclusion
It is extreme foolishness to worship the bible and place great importance on the bible. It IS a useful reference book BUT it is only one small fragment of all the inspired writings on earth today – ask Yah to lead you to the writings that He wants YOU to read right now.
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
