God's Word has always been under attack, and today it is under attack by Textual Critics, who through Rationalism endeavor to vandalize Scripture, in that words, phrases, sentences, and whole paragraphs were removed or changed from the original and preserved Word of God found in the Masoretic Hebrew Text of the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus (Received Text) of the New Testament. God's Word is perfect and pure, and He has kept it pure in all ages, not only when He originally inscribed it through the Prophets and Apostles (Romans 16: 25 Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, (26) but now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: (27) to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.)
