The Department of Education, Big Pharma, and Bible Publishers

Riding home from a family visit, we were listening to the radio and a commentor’s observation on the existence of the Department of Education. He scoffed at the notion that the DOE functioned to educate children. In summary, he concluded that the education of children was not the department’s purpose because well-educated children would give the DOE no reason to exist. Departmental preservation required that there not be a solution to the issue of public education only the constant requirement for additional funding of the DOE due to poor grades and perpetually failing school systems. Implementing a solution would put the DOE out of business.

The pharmaceutical industry, “Big Pharma” then came to mind. Drug making companies that have been in existence well over 100 years have never produced medicine to cure one disease. Because solutions or cures are not what they are in business for. Cures would put them out of business. Drug after drug is marketed and sold but solutions to sickness and disease is not part of their business model because keeping the masses just sick enough is part of the plan.

Carry this business model over into Bible publishing. After over 100 years of bible publishing, the brightest academic minds have been incapable of coming up with a solution to the problem of divergent bible versions. And lest one think this be an unwarranted comparison with the DOE and drug manufactures, consider the profound hypocrisy of bible publishers who had a solution in the King James Bible but abandoned the answer so they could go back to the drawing board and start over again. Bible publishers have taken a page out of governmental and big business models that never intend a solution only a self-perpetuating income stream with the multiplication of novel bibles that some misguided saints argue are the word of God.

Every discipline has its spokesmen and “professionals” to write academic and scholarly propaganda in support of these high-tech rackets, and bible publishers are no different. Even bible publishers have their Anthony Fauci to tell us to omit the 1 John 5:7. The essential element of each business plan is to never provide an answer or solution; do enough to keep the consumer on the hook by creating a sensed need but never come to the place where the consumer no longer needs the business. The Church is living with scholarly imposed “masks,” the saints always fearful of being ostracized for not doing what they are told.

When the education of children was the responsibility of the community where the kids lived, families were better educated; when garden grown food was the staple diet and homeopathic medicine was appreciated and utilized communities were healthier; and before professional scholars took over the reconstruction of the Bible, the Church was stronger. It’s amazing how well our schools, medical practitioners, and Churches performed without the need of experts. Common sense people want solutions to problems not just more money thrown at the dilemma but solutions are not what the “mystery of iniquity which doth already work” (2 Thess. 2:7) has to offer.

The last thing the academy wants to hear is that we don’t need anymore experimental bibles, the Church has a standard sacred text, and it’s the King James Bible. This statement is more than a confession of faith. It strikes at the foundation of a multi-billion-dollar industry that like the DOE and Big Pharma has power through the accumulation of wealth as their driving motivations.

It’s time for the Church, but most of all the Pastors, to stop listening to so-called experts who have failed to produce solutions and return to the Bible God has blessed. A Bible that has the proven solution to the spiritual need of the lost and is the ground upon which the Church and home may grow and abound, the King James Bible.

You may say to yourselves, this post sounds too secular and crass to be true. Is the accumulation of wealth by keeping the textual critical enterprise barely alive, already on life support because of Artificial Intelligence, and by being propogandists for the bible publishing company. Is the “love of money” really at the core of this issue? Was it money that drove scholars to write and publish now irrelevant paperback rags attacking the King James Bible? Would Mark Ward and James White cease their textual escapades if it cost them their living? If the King James Bible was again accepted by the Church as the standard sacred text, an industry that has its fingers in many disciplines would be out of business and many would be out of work. In a world that runs on wasted resources, who wants that to happen?
