Pure Milk?

PURE MILK
   
In 2008 a health crisis erupted in China when it was discovered that several milk producers had been adulterating cow's milk by adding a chemical called Melamine. Melamine artificially boosts protein readings in milk, thus making such milk more appealing to consumers. Unfortunately, the chemical can produce detrimental effects on humans. Consequently, by November 2008 China reported an estimated 300,000 victims, including numerous infant deaths and an estimated 54,000 babies being hospitalized.  
   
******************************************************************  
   
A far more injurious form of adulteration occurs when translators, publishers, preachers and teachers adulterate the "pure milk of the Word" (1 Pet. 2:2) by adding to it. Attempts to do so actually occurred in first century. Peter warned, “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction” (2 Pet. 2:1). John also cautioned, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).  
   
Countless additional attempts to add to God’s word have occurred through the centuries. When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he ADDED the word "only" to Romans 3:28, making it say, “…a man is justified by faith (only) apart from the works of the law.”  Tragically, millions have been duped into believing just that. Others continue their efforts to adulterate God’s word by teaching and promoting such unscriptural practices as woman preachers, same-sex marriage, many roads to heaven, etc.  
   
It would behoove us to carefully examine any teaching that endorses practices or doctrines different than what the Bible authorizes. To do otherwise could prove fatal to our souls.  
   
The Lord has given man His Word, His will He has made known;  
Let [no] man try to change [God’s] Word with words that are his own. - D. DeHaan  
   
Jesus, always Jesus!
