False translations perpetuate false interpretations, and false interpretations lead to false churches. When the Roman church wrested the Scriptures from the Eastern Churches and changed the doctrines to reflect their bias, they started the devastating schism in the interpretation of the faith. The Roman church replaced the faith of the Apostles with the faith of the Popes. They even called Peter the first Pope. A thousand years later, the Protestants came along and discredited the line of the Popes and began a democratically elected hierarchy. However, the Protestants objected only to the authority of the Pope; they didn't object to the falsified Scriptures wrested from the Eastern Churches. Once they had enough adherents, the Protestants decided to hijack the Scriptures and proceeded to interpret them in a myriad of ways. So, having abandoned the Ancient Aramaic Original Scriptures, the Protestants and Catholics were eventually united in promoting a Western brand of Christianity based on the Greek and Latin translations of the Scriptures, which they called the Bible.
Today, there are many Bibles, and new ones are popping up everyday on the Internet. It's the Age of Information. Anyone can interpret the Scriptures any way they want; but ironically this is leading to a state of ridiculousness that's obvious to even the most single minded. There are millions of Christians now who are questioning their churches and seeking the true intent of the Lord's words. They are seeking a genuine translation of the Scriptures. This is a good thing.
The results of the false interpretation of the Scriptures is before us; we see how American Christianity crumbled in the face of atheism in one generation. We have a President who refuses to say Merry Christmas. This year he will drive the message home some more. Last year he celebrated Christmas in the White House without ever mentioning the name of Jesus, and even calling the traditional Christmas Tree by its name. It's now a Holiday Tree. The courts in the land are outlawing any reference to Jesus, Christmas, and even Santa Claus! It's ironic that the Black Americans aren't even protesting all these outrageous humiliations that America is throwing on their heads, after all it is the Black Americans that carried the biggest torch for Christianity in the last century. The Black American sacrifices in the name of Christianity are far greater than all the sacrifices White Americans have had to make in the face of secular humanism. Yet, the Black Americans had been so injured by the discrimination heaped on them by the false Christianity of the West, that they are not uttering a single word. Black Americans are enjoying their victory through Obama; they finally got to stick to those White Americans who had tormented them over the years. It's understandable; we must be charitable. I believe the Black Americans will come back and they will also seek genuine Christianity. I have faith in their integrity as Christians, because they have suffered for it so much.
Every knee will bow. There is a ray of hope in all this.
