II. The Product of Perverted Versions.

III. The Place of Perverted Versions.

No place in the preparation of God’s message.

Preachers must study the Bible, not books about the Bible.

No place in the preaching of God’s men.

God’s man is called to preach the Bible (2 Tim 4:2)

God’s man is ordained by the local church to preach the Bible

Advice: Study, read, and preach the Bible for the best results with God’s reward in Heaven (1 Peter 5:2-4)

How me and my wife got them.

What we did with ours.

Acts 19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Conclusion:

Revelation 1:3

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
