Those who hold to differing doctrinal views concerning preservation or any other doctrine cannot and should not unite. Theological compromise is far worse than the lack of unity. This dangerous call to compromise for the sake of unity is the second reason that From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man should be received with extreme caution. Historically, Bible-believing people have not hesitated to part from those taking a differing view of biblical doctrine. Now, however, the reader is being told that this issue, doctrinally significant though it may be, is nothing to separate over.
Unity is more important.
This is certainly an alarming trend among those who would call themselves fundamentalists. Liberals hold to Dynamic Inspiration. This leads to Dynamic Preservation, as manifested in the Critical Text, translated with Dynamic Equivalence to produce the Modern Versions. For one to take the initial step into this moving stream, either deliberately or by default, may lead to drowning in the ocean of apostasy. Since man cannot restore what God allegedly has not preserved, it is folly for fundamentalists to embrace any of the modern translations.
