Wickedly-Inadequate/Significantly-Corrupt
New International Version Quasi-"bible"
New Testament
NIV/NASB Ripoffs
The linguistically-pleasant Todays English Version (TEV), New International Version (NIV), The Message, and other similar-idea post-NASV QUASI-translations (the New King James Version excepted) of The HOLY BIBLE state the following or significantly similar variations of:
In stark and sharp contrast, the archaic-semantics/generally-accurate King James Version (KJV), and even the signficantly-errant Westcott/Hort/Nestle/UBS-N.T. Revised Standard Version (RSV), New American Standard Version (NASV), and New King James Version (NKJV) correctly state that:
So what is wrong with the most of the newest self-proclaimed 'holy bibles' replacing the word touch with the word marry and similar-idea diversionary and substitutionary words or phrases in First Corinthians seven verse one?
They are devastatingly wrong because:
(1) They violate Hebrews 13:4 which clearly declares that marriage is to be held in honor by all, with the bed nondefiled.
To mis-order men to not marry nor get married is certainly NOT honoring marriage, but rather despising it!
Please, do not burden my ears by imposing boorish non-funny jokes about being married and the presumed boredom, dissatisfaction, stupidity, and nonfavorability of being faithfully married for a long time. Such demonic non-humor is of Satan himself. I personally know of a few men who have in the past scurrilously joked against marriage, and most of them are now [thankfully] dead (and rightly so)! [May all who blasphemously tell me to 'lighten up' about that burn in hell forever]!
(2) It feeds the cultic-catholic heresy of mis-requiring virile young men to (non-realistically) be celibate when they are - truthfully - not at all capable of honestly being 100% celibate priests. There is much secretive hypocrisy about pretending to not need and to actually be without the sexual companionship of women in churches and monasteries, but Holy Scripture exposes and countermands such aberration in First Timothy 3:2 directing bishops (and Titus 1:5-6 directing elders) to be the HUSBAND of one WIFE.
The passages just stated in NO way are to be mis-interpreted as purporting to be some kind of pseudo-pious 'marriage to and with Jesus Christ' as some kind of homogay-pervert spiritual spouse (which smacks of disgusting homosexuality) or 'marriage to "Mother" Church' as wife or concubines (which would smack of incest and bigamy against church members of the body of Christ).
The Bible verses above are to be taken literally......and the hideous disasterous consequences of not doing so have been well-publicized by particularly secular media and civil-government court actions against hypocritical 'celibate' priests resorting to abusing and modesting male altar and choir boys, plus getting into child porn.
(3) It ridiculously and absurdly denies the existence of biological-clock-timed usual-course-of-nature erotic stimulation frequently occurring because of so-called 'common' and 'expected' opposite-gender handshaking, handholding, cheek-kissing, hand-kissing, and brief hugging.
(4) It incites massage and escort harlotry.
If young people are [wrongly] instructed to not marry, they will [by default] give in [sooner or later] to porn and prostitution of various types and degrees. Prudishly and dishonestly denying that non-avoidable reality will not make it go away! And there are many deceitful pretenders and warped liars who diabolically and demnably declare otherwise - who are false against nature and frauds against truth!
(5) It misses the point to substitute the words do not marry for do not touch. They are two completely different ideas, and in NO way [exactly] synonymous with each other.
By admonishing about heterosexual touching (whether outside or within marriage), God through Saint Paul was simply alluding to the fact that a man touching a woman will - most likely, and usually does - sexually arouse him (to various admitted or non-admitted extents, resulting in certain overt and covert physiological manifestations). Thus, the Lord in I Cor. 7:1 gave and gives both singles and non-singles quite necessary natural observation about that, and implies that the appropriate potential action and/or active reaction involved with heterosexual contact is to acquire one's own spouse to non-frigidly engage in non-deprivatory erotic fulfilment with.....not sadistically enslaving anyone to preposterous eternal abstinence against all the Creator made (including whatever body protuberations and openings are available for caressing and insertion) to be enjoyed by those who know and love the truth (I Timothy 4:1-5).
(6) Most importantly, the Scrivener-Trinitarian Received Greek Text word for touching (in I Corinthians 7:1)....which is: aptesthai, and pronounced: AP-tes-thigh)....is an entirely different Greek word than the Greek-Text word for: marriage, which Greek word is: gamesai, and pronounced: GAM-ay-sigh. They are definitely NOT the same Greek words - they don't even have the same Greek-word root! Only an ignorant fool will equate the two words as synonymous, which certain authors of the TEV, NIV, Message, and other subversive heretics - for whatever demented and perverted causes - have already done in their quasi-translations of First Corinthians 7:1.....indescribably inflicting FAR-reaching harm against the saints of God, with such consequences as promiscuous touchy-feely VD, AIDS, non-wanted pregnancies, abortion-homicide, guilt, ashamed frigidity, jealousy, rape, and even retaliatory murder.
