                       The glory of being the ONLY begotten son of YEHOVAH -- the FIRSTBORN from the
               dead, is the glory Yeshua has NOW, and will forevermore have! But -- and let this sink in -- Ye-
               shua DID NOT have this glory previously, because he simply DID NOT EXIST before he was be-
               gotten by YEHOVAH and born as a flesh and blood human being! Read 1 Peter 1:19-20:


                       But with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
                       who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was MANIFEST in
                       these last times for you; who through him we do believe in YEHOVAH, who raised him up
                       from the dead, and GAVE HIM GLORY; that your faith and hope might be in YEHOVAH.

               7/.  I Timothy 3:16. Another verse which is used by those who have been deceived by the pagan
               ideas of the translators is found in I Timothy 3:16 in the King James Version. However, this
               "translation" is simply NOT FOUND in most of the other modern versions! In the King James Ver-
               sion this reads --

                       And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
                       justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
                       received up into glory.


                       The Concordant Version of the Sacred Scriptures -- written in the ancient Greek form --
               reveals that the word "WHO" -- NOT the word "God" -- was originally in the text! Furthermore,
               The Emphatic Diaglott shows us that the word "God" was NOT in the Alexandrian Manuscript --
               nor was it in almost all of the other ancient manuscripts. Notice --


                       Nearly all the ancient MSS., and all the versions have "He who," instead of "God," in this
                       passage.


                       Taking this theme further, the book Forgery in Christianity (by Wheless) informs us --

                       In the King James or "Authorized" Version we read: "Great is the mystery of Godliness:
                       God was manifest in the flesh," etc. (1 Tim. iii, 16.) In the "Revised Version" this "God
                       Manifest" forged interpolation is shamed out of the text, which there honestly reads: "He
                       who was manifested in the flesh," etc. Thus the great "mystery of godliness," premised in
                       the text, is no longer a mystery; and the fraudulent insertion into the text by some over-
                       zealous Christian forger, seeking to bolster up an "apostolic" pedigree for the later "tradi-
                       tion" of the divinity of the Christ, is confessed.

                       The Revised Standard Version of the Bible has corrected this verse, saying --


                       Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh,
                       vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the
                       world, taken up in glory.


                       The CORRECT translation of this verse should read as follows --
