is not a work of God.. ."6i New Age leader David Spangler chimes, "Man is his own salvation. "62 His sentiments voice the opinion of the movement as a whole says Constance Cumby. The movement teaches that man is saved by initiation and works rather than through the grace of God and faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.63 A new world religion springing from a world already weighed down with a works-based salvation will adapt to this status quo. So the new versions are modified to match their mentor—Martha, not Mary. (Their changes are usually based on the 'Ghostly Guild's Greek 1% Text so manuscript evidence will not be cited for each change.) Observe the trend in the following eight instances.

Martha was cumbered about much serving. . Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that.. .Luke 10:40-42

(1) "One thing" is changed to "a few things" in the NASB, in spite of the fact that the oldest papyri, P75 and P45, as well as the great majority of manuscripts, say "one thing." Embarrassed scholars are now doing an about face. (2) Regarding the 'one thing' that was needful, that is, listening to Christ's words, the new versions omit or obscure references to bible teaching, studying or meditation.
