Summary

Although I most certainly believe in God almighty and in His infallibility, because of what I believe to be false interpolations I've found in the Bible, I no longer believe today's version of the Bible to be flawless and infallible. However, that is entirely man's fault, not God's. I still believe that the original Bible was divinely inspired and given to man by God, but I believe that it has been interpolated down through the ages until, after a millennium and a half we have todays flawed Bible. I point out these flaws, inaccuracies and errors in my book. I believe the Bible we have today has mistakes in it and it is not the same Bible that was divinely inspired and handed down to the writers of old. Most of it is, but not all of it. But don't take my word for it. I want you to look up every error that I point out in this book in your own copy of the Bible and then make up your own mind. As an example of the errors that I point out in my book, check the following two Bible scriptures (emphases added are mine) in your own Bible. 1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. One of the two scriptures noted above has to be a mistake in today's Bible. The book I use, and have used ever since I became a Born Again Christian twenty years ago is the King James Version. Although I most certainly believe in God Almighty and that God is infallible, because of the intpolations I've found in the Bible, I no longer believe that today's Bible is flawless and infallible. Again, I believe this is entirely man's fault, not God's. In spite of the doubt I have regarding the veracity of today's Bible, I still believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for my sins and was raised again. Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Saviour. I still believe the original Bible was divinely inspired and given to man by God, but that the interpolation down through the ages has resulted in today's flawed Bible. I point out these flaws, inaccuracies, and errors in my book. I became a Born Again Christian back in the early 1980's after being born and raised Catholic. When I first heard priests, preachers, ministers and televangelists talk about the Bible being flawless, unerring, and infallible because it is the Holy Spirit-inspired Word of God, I automatically accepted it as fact. Now, after well over a decade of Bible study, I believe the Bible originally was the divinely inspired Word of God. However, I don't believe today's versions of the Bible are 100% as it was originally handed down. I was never taught the flaws and errors that are in the Bible in the different Bible Colleges from which I have graduated. Flaws and errors in the Bible weren't pointed out in any of my postgraduate work either. Just because I became a Born Again Christian, it didn't mean I checked my brain in at the door. No way! I believe it is my duty and responsibilty to use the brain God blessed me with to investigate things and check them out for myself. I now believe that many scriptural references have been interpolated over hundreds of years. I wrote this book to specifically point these out. The Bible we have today is not the same Bible that was divinely inspired. As children of God, each and every one of us has a duty and responsibilty to read the Bible, check it out for ourselves and then make up our own minds on whether the Bible is flawless, unerring, and infallible. This is why I also tell everyone who reads my book to not just take my word for it. Look up every errant scripture in your own Bible and then use your own God-given brain to make up your own mind.

Excerpts

This author has heard many, many, many, in fact almost all of the clergy say while preaching or giving their sermon at one time or other that, "The Bible is flawless." "The Bible is the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God." "The Bible is God's Word and God's Word is infallible." These types of comments are routinely stated from the pulpit in churches across the U.S.A. and around the world every Sunday of every week of every year. I believe the Bible originally was the Divinely inspired Word of God when it was first handed down by the Holy Spirit's inspiration to the original writers. But I don't believe the Bible we have today is 100% as it was when it was originally written down. Although I most certainly believe in God Almighty and that God is infallible, (and Jesus Christ is the son of God who died on the cross for our sins to give us our opportunity at salvation) because of the interpolations I've discovered in today's Bible through my many years (decades) of Bible research and study that I have done to get my Doctorate in Biblical Studies (D.B.S.) and my Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion, I no longer believe that todays Bible is flawless and error/contradiction free. However, that is entirely man's fault, not Gods. My book proves what we've been told from the pulpit by the clergy all these years is wrong, because I point out exactly where the Bible has errors and contradictions in it. In the pages of the 54 chapters of my book, I go on to prove to you the hypothesis for the title of my book that: What We've Been Told About the HOLY BIBLE is a Lie and Here's the Proof. But don't simply take my word for it. Look up in your own Bible what I point out in my book about the flaws, errors and contradictions about the various interpolated Bible Scriptures to compare for yourself. Then pray for God's Holy Spirit to quicken your human spirit to lead you into the truth about today's Bible, so you can make up your own mind for yourself, instead of just blindly accepting what you have been told from the pulpit all these years. I assure you that once you do, you will never the same again, about what the clergy has been (is) telling us from the pulpit. And finally, at the end of my book I take the reader on a journey down Roman's Road to give the reader the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord & Savior, (which is commonly known as becoming Born-Again). I wrote the book with a built-in protagonist and antagonist, with a story arc from the beginning through the end of the book, where elements raised in the beginning of the book are answered at the end of the book. According to 3John2, May God Bless all who read my book.
