  • Complete Critique on Changing the Word by Veith (42P.)
    A Critque of Walter Veith’s Presentations: “Battle of the Bibles” & “Changing the Word” by Elder David W. Allen Walter Veith of Amazing Discoveries has made some amazing charges against what he refers to as the modern Bibles, and especially aimed at the NIV. I have thoroughly examined each of his claims and charges. My concern is that many will accept what appears to be a scholarly presentation on this topic at face value, and be led astray. While many of his presentations may be scholarly, Dr. Veith has gone out of his area of expertise in dealing with Bible translations. The following is my critique of the DVDs named above. After you study this critique, you can come to your own conclusion. Walter Veith said, “If you go to the middle of the book of Acts, to the end of Revelation - that is how many words are gone in the NIV – up to 60,000!” That is one half of the NT! All one has to do is to page through the KJV/NIV Parallel Bible to see how untrue is that statement. Veith said that every single Bible in any language written before 1940 came from the same base as the KJV, the Received Text, except for the Douay. For the truth, see page 4. Veith quotes from Aland supposedly to get support for his ideas that the manuscript base for the KJV is superior to that used in the modern translations. Alands were the editors of the 27th edition of NT Greek Bible in which all the thousands of finds since the KJV was printed are used to come up with the most accurate reading of the NT.

You’ll PHILOSOPHY gain insights into a host of compelling Mad Men questions and issues, including happiness, freedom, authenticity, feminism, Don Draper’s identity, and more—and have lots to talk about the next time you fi nd yourself around the water cooler.
