Unless "God" or I world governmont has suoh a means, how'can men con- form to or abide by "His Hord"- be world oitizens? Bear in mind that those who would create God or a Supreme Authority, By TheIR FRuirs, believe that God does not erist. Since God does not exist they naturally find the Bible an "antiquated book". the work of philosophers who interpreted the world without the advantages of "modern soience". Thus The Bible must be revised to conform to "modern soionoe"; "It must be brought up-to-date." Tho RSv Bible is an atteupt to create Truth,. just as the United Nations is an pulators to faoilitate the creation of The General Welfare or "His Kingdom", the king- dom Kerl Marx called "a mman society", Frederick Engels "a more than individual de-- velopmsnt", Bertrand Russell "s scientific scciety", the internationalists " 'a one world", the humanists "a brotherhood of men", and The Bible "the abomination of desolation." Karl Marx said: "philosophers have interpreted the world in various ways; the ing It to modern soience or what seems to be, are Harxists whether they know it or not. They ara Marxists, not by my definition, but by Marx's and by their fruits. "Wherefore by thetr fruits ye shall kmow them.' Thus, BY THEIR FRUITS (RSV BIBLE) those responsible for it are Larxists, not Christians. By oonforming His Word, Truth, to the words of mon (modern science or what men Assume is Truth), those responsible for the RSv Bible have performed a diservioe, not a sorvice. Only in so far as we conform to His Word and permit and encourage others to do the same, do we promote the gonoral welfare (sefve men) as well as our own well-being. If we would assist our fellow men we should atrive to conform ONLY IN SO FAR AS IT CONFORIS TO HIS WORD.
