KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

The Greek word that is translated 'superstition' contains the root-word for 'devil'! The Greek word for 'religious' (thresheis or sebomai) occurs no where in the verse. With their NKJV, NIV or NASB in hand (or a Catholic bible which always omits the second commandment in their decalogue addendum), tribulation idolators will feel "very religious" indeed. Hindoos deny the existence of idols. They assert that their murti is merely an expression and an extension of the ’God' immanent in the creation. New versions agree.

NASB

KJV

1Cor. 8:4

an idol is nothing

There is no such thing as an idol.

Bibles which applaud visions and idols are breeding 'Christians' who 'bravo' both. Robert Wise, Reformed pastor and editor of The Church Divided tells readers to set up idols, in their hearts (Ezekiel 14:7) or their homes, in his chapter entitled "Praying With Symbols and Images." Sounding exactly like a Hindu defending his murti , both Wise and Catholic author Alan Schreck excuse their idolatry citing Westcott's "incamational principle" which asserts that 'Christ' is now immanent in the creation.

"Although the Jewish point of view forbids the making of images of God, it doesn't grasp the whole meaning of the Incarnation. . .Images, symbols.. .all flow together as equal parts of the process by which God and humanity communicate with each other."58 Wise

"Again, this is the incarnational principle at work. God works through.. .statues, images.. »57 Schreck

The command not to make an image of anything—even "that is in heaven" (Exodus 20:4)—is ignored by 'New' Greek editor B.F.
