Critical Text products as salve to an uneasy conscience

This young man recounts his 'conversion' to Critical Text bible products and away from the King James Bible.

Notice how it reads like a conversion to Roman Catholicism testimony. That's because it shares a foundational point of similarity: the necessary downgrade on the Word of God.

This young man is recounting how he first started reading the King James Bible, then his conscience was troubled (by the Bible of Protestant Christians of the last 400 years? think about that). His conscience was troubled by a Bible that has the authority of God in it. To salve his troubled conscience he looked around for an alternative. He noticed that many scholars promote "different Bibles." He took a look. Yes! These Critical Text products were bibles he found that he could look down on and not have to look up to. They didn't have the authority of God in them. They had the authority of man in them. "Much more comfortable for my troubled conscience!" he joyously exclaimed.

A constructed text vs. a received text. There really is no question in going with the former. It's a 'no brainer.' Just as the new convert to Roman Catholicism can breathe that sigh of relief at getting out from under the 'oppression' of the authority of the Word of God and from apostolic biblical doctrine the new convert to Critical Text bible products sighs the same sigh of relief. "It's just a document afterall! What an idiot I was thinking I had to take it seriously!"

It's no coincidence that Roman Catholics use the same corrupt manuscripts used by Critical Text scholars in constructing their Critical Text bible products. Birds of a feather...sighing that oh so pleasant sigh of relief.
