CHAPTER FOUR

DEATH IN THE POT

The next examination of proof texts from the NASV will be a startling revelation indeed for a new Christian or for a young man whom God has just called to preach. As a matter of fact, the evidence now presented is so astounding that one can hardly believe the truth of it when it has been digested. If I had told you that you would live to see the time when Premillennial, soul-winning “Fundamentalists” would promote a book that denied the first two fundamentals of the Christian faith, you would have laughed me out of court like some fanatical “crackpot.” However, I do not have to tell you that you will live to see it, for if you are now reading these lines, you have already seen it.

The NASV is being promoted by every major evangelical scholar in the United States and is being pushed with the zeal of an Indian Medicine Man by every major Greek teacher (in the “Christian” institutions of higher learning) in America. What follows is the doctrinal content of this translation that these men are recommending to you as “the most accurate,” “the most reliable,” “highly usable,” and “thoroughly reliable.” You must never forget this when checking the references you are about to read, for you will tend to, at times. And as you review the following references, you will often be seized with the mad desire to throw this book out the window and pretend it was never written, or else phone up the faculty members at Bob Jones, Dallas, Moody, Fuller, Wheaton, Columbia, etc., and tell them to put their Greek Testaments you-know-where.

The noxious pottage of 2 Kings 4:39 had to be revised before it could be eaten. If it had remained in the condition it was in, it would have killed every prophet at the dinner table. Fortunately, someone there knew the taste of the wild vine when he swallowed it, and he cried, “O thou man of God, there is death in the pot.”

This is not to say that all of the herbs (see v 39) in the pot were poisonous; there was just enough poison mixed in with the good seasoning to kill anybody who was stupid enough to drink it.

Now, some conservative scholars believe that a “little leaven” will not “leaven the whole lump,” even though it does every time it shows up in the Bible (Matt. 13:33). We are to assume in the case of the NASV that a little leaven still leaves this “Bible” translation—“thoroughly reliable,” to quote The Sword of the Lord (Sept. 17, 1971). This time, however, the leaven is like the wild gourds of 2 Kings 4. It is spiritual death to the man that tastes of it, and it will kill you as quick as gambling, liquor, fornication, or lust for money. The NASV is not merely a corrupt Bible and a bungling piece of hash, it is a deadly snare designed to entrap the unwary believer and lead him back into the paths of death.
