"Where the Word of a King is, there is power:" Ecclesiastes 8:4, KJV.
God has placed a lot of importance upon His Words.
Matthew 24:35, KJV, reads, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My WORDS shall
not pass away."
Psalms 138:2, KJV, says, ". . . for Thou hast magnified Thy WORD above all Thy
Name."
Psalms 119:89, KJV, says, "For ever, O LORD, Thy WORD is settled in Heaven."
The spiritual life-blood of the human race is the Word of God.
Jesus Christ said in John 6:63, KJV ". . .the Words that I speak unto you, they
are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE." And the first time Satan attacks the human race
was a direct attack on the Word of God!
Genesis 3:1, KJV says, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, YEA, HATH GOD
SAID. . .?"
Satan planted a small seed of doubt into the mind of Eve. And as Eve questioned the
Truthfulness of God's Word - the fall of mankind was only a bite away.
Satan's aim of attack hasn't changed!
In Luke 8, Jesus Christ tells the parable of the sower, verses 11,12 read, "Now the
parable is this: The SEED is the Word of God. . . THEN COMETH THE
DEVIL, and taketh away the Word. . ."
Satan knows - if he can supplant even a small seed of doubt in God's Word -
MANKIND WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE!
Never in history has such doubt and confusion over the Bible existed as is today. And
nothing has flamed the fire of confusion and doubt over the Bible more than the
scores of different translations flooding the scene. Time magazine (April 20, 1981
p.62) reports, ". . . there is an UNPRECEDENTED CONFUSION of choices
in Bibles. Never have so many major new translations been on the
market." Since 1880, over 200 different translations have appeared. Every six months
a new English version appears!
The question has to be asked - is God the Author of this flood of new versions? Is
God the Author of CONFUSION in His Word? 1 Corinthians 14:33, KJV, clearly
states, "God is NOT the Author of CONFUSION."
BUT SATAN IS! He knows, if he can plant the smallest seed of doubt and
confusion - that individual will not take God's Word serious!
Amos 8:11, KJV, says that "¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing
the Words of the LORD:". True to this, there is a dearth for the pure Word of God as
modern corrupt bibles have flooded the market. We must be aware that the Bible is
under attack. In earlier days, Bibles were burned to destroy them, but in this modern
era, Satan is trying to destroy the Bible and its credibility without burning it by
corrupting the very Word of God by taking away or adding words to it. A little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump (1 Corinthians 5:6, KJV) and taking away or adding a few
words to the Word of God, alters its meaning and corrupts the whole Bible. This is
one of Satan’s master plan to take away people’s faith in the Bible and to make people
question its authenticity. Word of God magnifies TRUTH; whereas, the devil's crowd
magnifies UNITY. "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20,
KJV. Bibles that are corrupt therefore, produce corrupt teachings and corrupted
teachings produce a corrupt faith in people. The greatest method of deception is
to counterfeit. And the master of counterfeit and deception is Satan. You see
what the Devil has done to God's Word?
Satan only comes to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10, KJV). If the Devil can't
destroy the Bible, then he tries to change It (Romans 1:25, KJV). If the Devil can't
change the Bible, then he tries to replace it with fables. Satan, who succeeded in
selling the first "revised" edition of God's Word to Eve in the Garden of Eden, has
surely been busy in this 20th Century along the same lines. We know about the
"population explosion" and the "explosion of scientific knowledge," but we are also in
the middle of a "Bible translation explosion"- a veritable flood of new Bible
translations, versions, revisions and paraphrases, all claiming to be the "most
accurate," the "most readable" and the "most up-to-date." The publishing and sale of
these new Bibles has become a highly profitable business, employing all the
psychological approaches of modern advertising to sell them to the public. Some
think this proliferation of Bible versions is wonderful. But serious-minded, thoughtful
people must eventually ask, "Which Bible is the real Bible, the true Word of God?"
Are the new versions different?
Most people believe the different versions are basically the same. They believe the
newer versions are just "harmless" updating of words and made easier to understand.
I'll give you a hint - he's called the "A LIAR, and the father of it" in John 8:44, KJV!
He is Satan.
In earlier times, Bibles were burned to destroy them but today Satan has been
successful in destroying the Bible without burning them. By altering the meanings of
verses in the modern versions, Satan has taken away the Truth by doubt,
contradiction, and replacement. He hates the King James Bible because it is the
Power of God that saves men and women from the pits of Hell. Therefore Satan has
deceived many and replaced the King James Bible with many counterfeit corrupted
new age versions.
Today there are hundreds of modern Bible versions. But not all Bibles are the pure
Word of God. Our enemy, Satan has sown tares among the wheat and therefore it is a
matter of utmost importance that we recognize the True Word of God. There is only
One Way to God and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. And only the King James
Version (KJV) of the Bible in English points to Jesus where as the other modern
versions water down the doctrines of sin and redemption through the Blood of Jesus
Christ. Modern translations & versions of the Bible are not of God. These modern
translations of the Bible have gone against the warning of God and have added to or
removed verses from the Bible and they have altered the meaning of verses, thus
corrupting God’s Word. These corrupted versions such as NIV, ESV, NLT, NWT,
NCV, NKJV, NASB, NRSV, Living Bible, Good News Bible, Message Bible,
Amplified Bible, Queens' Bible, etc, do not lead people to Jesus Christ but lead people
to a false christ- the Antichrist.
Those who read the new Bible versions are those who are ever learning but never able
to come to the knowledge of the Truth (2 Timothy 3:7, KJV). A replacement false
gospel is taught by these modern Bible versions. The emerging ‘new’ false Christianity
— with its substitution of riches for righteousness, a crown for a cross, and an
imitation for a new creation — is shown to be a direct result of the wording in new
versions.
The King James Bible is based on the ‘Textus Receptus’ manuscript - originally
known as the ‘Received Text’ which comes from Antioch and is uncorrupted &
reliable and vetted by the apostles and the early church where as all the modern
English Bibles are based on the corrupted two Alexandrian manuscripts, the
‘Codex Vaticanus’ and the ‘Codex Sinaiticus’. Up until the late 1800s, these
Alexandrian Texts were utterly rejected by Christians as they were overwhelmed with
errors. The ‘Textus Receptus’ has been passed down through time copied by people
who fear God and believe the ultimate authority of His Word. History shows that
‘Textus Receptus’ has the strongest claim of being the authentic representation of the
original manuscripts. Every new and modern version of English Bibles that have been
launched have been translated from the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts written
sometime in the 2nd Century AD- Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, that came
out of the Gnostic Mystery teachings of Alexandria, ancient Egypt. The Gnostics
deliberately corrupted the Word of God and their manuscripts and were rejected by
the early church as heresy. These corrupted manuscripts were discovered by scholars
in a garbage dump around 4-5 century AD, translated into Latin and these corrupted
manuscripts were used as the basis for all the ‘new’ English Bible translations in the
19th century. The roots of the KJV Bible and the roots of modern Bibles are entirely
different. KJV is the good fruit which leads to eternal life where as the modern Bibles
are the corrupt fruits that leads to eternal damnation.
The King James Bible and the Modern bibles come from two different roots
and therefore their fruit is also different. “Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”. Matthew 7:16-18,20, KJV.
The King James Version of the Bible is the only pure and perfect translation in
English. In it you find the Words of eternal life. It is the only Book which can make
you wise to Salvation! It is the Word of God purified seven times and preserved from
generation to generation. The Word of God- the Bible is sustenance to the soul. It
gives wisdom to the mind and comfort to the heart and shines a light for us to walk
on in this dark world. The Bible should be the glass through which we see everything,
and it should be the Standard, the plumb line that we use to measure all things. It
should be the Shepherd that leads us in life. The Word of God is a pool of refreshing
Living Water that quenches the thirsty soul and it is the Bread of Life that fills the
hungry heart. It is the healing balm that heals our wounds. Most importantly, it is the
Divinely inspired, revealed Word of God to mankind. And it leads us to the One True
God- the Lord Jesus Christ.
A comparison of Bible versions shows that they are really not the same. Some leave
out entire verses, others disagree on whether Jesus should be called God's servant or
God's Son. But how do you decide which is completely correct?
Read these verses, then you can understand why changing or adding one word to the
Word of God changes an essential doctrine of our faith.
An attack on the Deity of Jesus Christ! The new translations completely re-word
the verse to deny the deity of Jesus Christ!
In Philippians 2:6, The KJV again, clearly The NIV, RSV, NASV, NRSV,
declares the deity of Jesus Christ: "Who, NKJV(1979 ed.), etc. reads, "Who, being
being in the form of God, thought it not in very nature God, DID NOT
robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH
GOD" GOD something to be grasped,"
They attack the virgin birth! The NIV, NASV, NRSV, etc. reads, "The
CHILD'S FATHER and mother
In Luke 2:33, The King James marveled at what was said about
reads, "And JOSEPH and His mother him." The "CHILD'S FATHER"? Do
marvelled at those things which were you believe that Joseph was Jesus' father?
spoken of Him." Not if you believe the virgin birth! Not if
you believe John 3:16, that Jesus Christ
was the Son of God! A subtle, attack at
the virgin birth. Joseph was not the
biological father of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 7:14, KJV reads, Most of the new translations have
attacked the Virgin Birth of the Lord
"Therefore the LORD Himself shall give Jesus Christ by substituting the word
you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall "virgin" with "young woman" or
conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call "maiden." A young woman or a maiden is
His Name Immanuel." NOT necessarily a virgin. Mary, the
mother of Jesus, WAS a virgin. In fact,
Matthew tells us so in Matthew 1:23,
when he QUOTES Isaiah 7:14 and uses
the word "VIRGIN."
The NWT version reads, “Therefore
Jehovah* himself will give YOU men a
sign: Look! The maiden* herself will
actually become pregnant, and she is
giving birth to a son, and she will
certainly call his name Im·manʹu·el.*
Isaiah 7:14, NWT.
They remove the Blood! The NIV reads, "In whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins." The
Consider Colossians 1:14: the KJV NIV, NASV, RSV, NRSV and co. rip the
reads, "In Whom we have precious words "THROUGH HIS
redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, BLOOD" out! Salvation is
even the forgiveness of sins:" only "THROUGH HIS BLOOD". That
old song says, "What can wash away my
sins, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
OF JESUS!" The modern versions
remove the very verse that shows us how
to be saved!
They attack John 3:16! The NIV and company reads, "For God
In the KJV, John 3:16 clearly says that so loved the world that he gave his ONE
Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AND ONLY SON, that whoever
OF GOD. believes in him shall not perish but have
“For God so loved the world, that He eternal life" - removing the critical
gave His only Begotten Son, that word "BEGOTTEN"! If Jesus was "the
whosoever believeth in Him should not one and only" then what happens to the
perish, but have everlasting life”. John wonderful promise to believers like 1
3:16, KJV. John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons
of God. . ."? AN OBVIOUS
CONTRADICTION
APPEARS! These modern translations
are similar to doctrines of mystery
religions that claim that anyone can
become a ‘Son of God’ which is
heresy.
Let's Compare Micah 5:2 “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the
"But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though clans of Judah,
thou be little among the thousands of from you shall come forth for me
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth one who is to be ruler in Israel,
unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose coming forth is from of old,
whose goings forth have been from from ancient days”. Micah 5:2, ESV.
old, from everlasting." Do the new versions contain this reading?
No, most of them do not. Some say that
The King James gives us the superior He's from "ancient times," and others say
reading by telling us that Christ is that He's from "days of old," but these
from "everlasting." That is, He is Eternal. terms do not imply that Jesus is Deity.
The term "everlasting" DOES imply
Deity. The King James is SUPERIOR,
for it EXALTS the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's Compare Luke 23:42 “Then he said, “Jesus, remember me
when you come into your kingdom.”
"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, Luke 23:42, NIV.
remember me when Thou comest into The new versions, however, rob Jesus of
Thy Kingdom." Luke 23:42, KJV. His Lordship by stealing the
word "Lord" from the text!
In this particular case, the dying thief is
being saved. Romans 10:13 tells us that
we are saved by calling upon the Name of
the "Lord," and this man addresses Jesus
as "Lord."
Are you getting the picture? These are just a few examples of how the new Bible
versions attack Jesus Christ, contradict Biblical doctrine and create doubt in the mind
of the reader. Do you see how subtil (see Genesis 3:1, KJV), seemingly, harmless the
changes are - AND YET HOW DEADLY THEY ARE TO THE INTEGRITY OF
GOD'S WORD!
There you have it, some good examples of how the new translations are NOT better.
Satan has been very successful in convincing our generation that the new translations
are necessary and that they are better. They are UNNECESSARY and they are
SATANIC! In fact, the Greek text from which ALL new translations are produced
was constructed by men who were deeply involved in the OCCULT (B.F. Westcott
and F.J.A. Hort)! BEWARE OF ALL THE NEW TRANSLATIONS!
The King James Bible is based on over FIVE THOUSAND pieces of manuscript
evidence, which is NINETY-FIVE percent of all manuscript evidence available. The
new perversions (all of them) are based on the remaining FIVE percent.
If you've been led to believe that there are better translations than the King James
Bible, then you've been deceived by the Devil. Forsake the new translations and
return to the grand old Book that God has used and blessed for centuries. Use the
Book that God uses: The King James Authorized Version.
The New Bible versions attack the Lord Jesus Christ! They attack
the plan of Salvation!
They glorify Lucifer! And they deny Hell!
In Acts 8:37, the King James reads, "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God." The NIV, NASV, RSV, NRSV and "buddies" reads - ZIP! NOTHING!
THEY TOOK THE WHOLE VERSE OUT! One of the best verses in the Bible
on Salvation through Jesus Christ and they rip it out! Why?
Why is it that every time a sinner is saved by grace in the book of Acts - THEY
ATTACK IT? In Acts 9:5-6: Paul is getting saved, and they take out 20 words! In
Acts 16:31 when the Philippian jailor is getting saved, the word "CHRIST" is
delicately removed! Why do these new bibles so fiercely attack God's wonderful plan
of Salvation? Because they are deliberately misleading people away from the Only
Way to Salvation- Jesus Christ and by so doing they are leading people to Hell.
Several times the Lord warns against "adding and taking away" from His Word.
Deuteronomy 4:2, KJV reads: "YE SHALL NOT ADD unto the Word which I
command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH ought from it . . ."
Proverbs 30::6, KJV, reads, "ADD THOU NOT unto His Words . . ."
And just in case you missed it, GOD'S LAST WARNING is Revelation 22:18-19,
KJV ". . . IF ANY MAN SHALL ADD unto these things. . . And if any man shall
TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORDS of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the Book of Life. . ."
And despite these clear warnings, the new versions, take out and add text, over and
over! One of the greatest verses in all the Bible, Matthew 18:11, KJV: "For the Son of
man is come to save that which was lost." - THEY TAKE IT OUT!
WHY!
They take out: Romans 16:24, Mark 11:25, Acts 15:34, Luke 23:17, Acts 28:29, John
5:4, Mark 7:16, 9:44,46 and many, many more - as your Bible is literally cut apart!
Jesus Christ says, in Luke 4:4, ". . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by EVERY WORD OF GOD." Not according to the NIV, NASV,
NRSV and crew! In fact, the even "tear out"the last half of Luke 4:4 - "BUT BY
EVERY WORD OF GOD"!
But some would argue that the new versions have the deity in other places. They
contain the plan of Salvation in other places. There is good in them. Did you know
ONE tiny, microscopic AIDS virus will "defile" a whole batch of perfectly "good"
blood? It has some "good" in it - BUT IT WOULD BE DEADLY!
Would you "inject" it into your child, loved one or congregation? And would you
"inject" them with a Bible that is "defiled" because it has some "good"? It
could be far more costly than their physical life - THEIR ETERNAL
SOUL! Galatians 5:9, KJV, says, "A LITTLE leaven leaveneth THE WHOLE
lump."
But haven't "older and more reliable manuscripts been discovered" since the King
James Bible. Dr. Sam Gipp writes, "The fact is, that the King James translators
had ALL OF THE READINGS available to them that modern critics have available
to them today." (The Answer Book, Gipp, p.110) Not only that, but most of the
recent discoveries support the King James Bible! And furthermore, it is a well
documented fact that 85 - 90 per cent of all readings agree with the King James
Bible! SO WHY ALL THE CHANGES? See Genesis 3:1, KJV.
Your King James Bible is attacked by preachers, some intentional and some simply
out of ignorance, by "correcting" it with "THE ORIGINALS". There is one itsy-
bitsy problem. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "THE ORIGINALS"! We
don't have the "originals" Moses, or Paul, or David wrote. There are no set
of "ORIGINALS" on the face of this earth! The ghost of "THE ORIGINALS" is a
LIE! See John 8:44, KJV!
Preachers, by the thousands, will stand weekly in the pulpit and "correct" your King
James Bible by saying, "This is an unfortunate translation" or "a better reading would
be" or "this word in the 'Greek' can also be translated. . ." Friend, where is the Lord
God? The One that "spoke" the worlds into existence - can He not preserve His
Word as He promised in Psalm 12:7 and Matthew 24:35? Did God Almighty NOT
know what He was "inspiring"? Does the Lord need these "Bible correctors" to
"help" Him "straighten-out" His word?
As God promised, He has preserved His Word for the English people in the King
James Bible. Proverbs 16:10, KJV says, "A divine sentence is in the lips of the KING.
. ." Ecclesiastes 8:4, KJV, says, "Where the word of a KING is, there is power . . ."
King James:"James" is not an English word but a Hebrew word. Did you know the
Hebrew word for James is Jacob! You'll never guess what Psalms 147:19, KJV
says, "He showeth His WORD unto JACOB . . ."
2 Timothy 2:9, KJV, reads, " . . . the Word of God is NOT BOUND." Anybody
can freely (there's that word Eve omitted in Genesis 3:2, KJV) print, distribute, and
reproduce the King James Bible, without asking anybody for permission! All other
translations are "bound" by © copyright laws. New American Standard, -
copyright© Lockman Foundation, New International Version - copyright© New
York International Bible Society, New King James Version - copyright© Thomas
Nelson Publishers. Who with a brain, would seriously think the Word of Almighty
God is "BOUND" by copyright laws?
The Old Testament "oracles of God" were providentially committed to the Jewish, or
Hebrew people (Romans 3: 1,2). The ancient Massoretes (students of Moses' law)
devoted their lives to perfection in preserving and copying the Old Testament books.
The story of their work is a marvelous testimony to God's preservation of His word
to all generations. There is very little controversy regarding the Hebrew text.
About 5,000 copies of the Greek text of the New Testament exist in safekeeping
around the world. The great majority of these are identical or almost identical to the
"received text" (also called "majority text, "textus receptus," or "Byzantine text"). This
text was used by the Waldenses, and was preserved by the true church through the
ages. The King James Version in the English language was translated from this text.
The Scriptures were translated into Latin, French, Dutch, German, and other
languages where the Church of Jesus Christ existed through the centuries. When
persecution drove the church into English-speaking nations, the Lord providentially
directed its translation there. Some of the early English translations include: John
Wycliffe (1380); William Tyndale (1526); Coverdale's (1535); The Geneva Bible
(1557).
There can be little doubt that it is to the advantage of the Church of Jesus Christ that
the same translation be generally used by the people in the nations where the church
exists. The King James Version translators were primarily Puritan and Anglican
scholars, whose personal biases were thereby balanced, resulting in a translation which
could be generally used by English-speaking people. These were men of remarkable
talent and integrity. King James was not personally involved in the work of
translation, so his character and name is of no special consequence. What IS
IMPORTANT is the evidence of God's providential direction of this English
translation, and His blessing upon it since.
Forty-seven translators and scholars produced the King James Bible, which was first
published in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI and I. (James acceded to the
throne of Scotland as James VI in 1567, and to that of England and Ireland as James I
in 1603. The correct style is therefore "James VI and I".) In Geneva, Switzerland the
first generation of Protestant Reformers had produced the Geneva Bible of
1560 from the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures, which was influential in the
writing of the Authorized King James Version. The translation was done by 6 panels
of translators, (47 men in all) had work divided up between them; the Old
Testament was entrusted to three panels, the New Testament to two, and
the Apocrypha to one, most of whom were leading Biblical scholars in England. In
common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was
translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and
the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. It was first printed by John Norton & Robert
Barker, both the King's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved
by the English Church authorities.
Forty Seven men were directly involved in the translation of the King James Bible
Most were Translators, while a few were project overseers, revisers and editors. Some
served in several roles. Who were these men? What were their backgrounds? What did
they share? In what ways were they different? They were a diverse group. While some
were born in large cities and towns, most were from small villages scattered
throughout England. Several were the children of university graduates, most were not.
They were sons of mariners, farmers, school teachers, cordwainers (leather
merchants), fletchers (makers of bows and arrows), ministers, brewers, tailors, and
aristocrats.
They all had a familiarity with the ancient languages of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and
often many more. They came on the historical scene at a time when the knowledge of
early biblical texts and language was exploding. Such a flowering of interest and
expertise was unique. Bible historian, Gordon Campbell, has observed:
The population from which scholars can now be drawn is much larger than in the
seventeenth century, but it would be difficult now to bring together a group of more
than fifty scholars with the range of languages and knowledge of other disciplines that
characterized the KJB Translators. (Bible – The Story of the King James Version
1611-2011 Oxford, Gordon Campbell, Oxford University Press 2010.)
For such a diverse group, they worked together in harmony during a generally
contentious time. They had disagreements, to be sure, but they labored on, year after
year. There were no "tell all books" published after the fact. Miles Smith remarked in
his preface to the KJB, the Translators "were greater in other men's eyes than in their
own, and sought truth rather than their own praise". They approached the task of
translation with humility, understanding they were standing on the shoulders of giants
like William Tyndale. Believers all, the Translators, according to Smith "craved the
assistance of God's Spirit by prayer" as they proceeded in their work.
Though almost all were well known within the religious and academic community of
the time, their involvement in the translation went largely unnoticed by the public.
Their individual and group effort was not the subject of historical inquiry until many
years after the fact. As a result, little information about the process of translation
survived. The lives of the Translators and sometimes their very identity became
obscured with time. In certain instances, the place of their birth and burial is
unknown, and their family circumstance in doubt.
Published in 1611, the King James Bible spread quickly throughout Europe.
Because of the wealth of resources devoted to the project, it was the most
faithful and scholarly translation to date—not to mention the most accessible.
Whereas before, the Bible had been the sole property of the Church, now more
and more people could read it themselves. Not only that, but the language they
read in the King James Bible was an English unlike anything they had read
before. With its poetic cadences and vivid imagery, the KJV sounded like the
voice of God Himself.
Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Version has been described as one of
the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the
English-speaking world. The King James Bible has influenced language, literature
and culture for more than 400 years.
The first issue of the first edition of the 'Authorised Version' of the English
Bible, printed in London in 1611 by Robert Barker. Commissioned by King James
I, it is also known as the King James Version.
God promised to preserve His Word...
God promised in Psalms 12:7, KJV that He would preserve His Word, "Thou shalt
KEEP them, O LORD, Thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation FOR
EVER."
And God keeps His promise! I believe, without a doubt, the King James Bible is
the preserved Word of God. And the new versions are satanic counterfeits to cast
doubt, cause confusion and ATTACK THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Dr. Frank Logsdon was co-founder of The New American Standard Version. As
people begin confronting Dr. Logsdon on some the NASV's serious omissions and
errors. He re-examined the evidence and this was his verdict:
"I must under God denounce every attachment to the New American Standard
Version. I'm afraid I'm in trouble with the Lord . . . I wrote the format . . . I wrote the
preface . . . I'm in trouble; . . . its wrong, terribly wrong; its frighteningly wrong . .
.The deletions are absolutely frightening . . . there are so many . . . Are we so naive
that we do not suspect Satanic deception in all of this?"
Matthew 656
Mark 567
Luke 791
John 1022
TOTAL 3036
These two manuscript witnesses constantly disagree with the majority of the
manuscript evidence, showing them to be suspect witnesses. The Ten
Commandments prohibit false testimony (Exodus 20:16). The Bible warns of false
witnesses: “And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus
to put Him to death; and found none. For many bare false witness against Him,
but their witness agreed not together.” (Mark 14:55-56). The telling sign of false
witnesses is a disagreement in their testimony. It will be seen that Sinaiticus and
Vaticanus do not pass the false witness test. While disagreeing with the majority text,
they also heavily disagree among each other. Burgon observed: “…they render
inconsistent testimony in every verse…” and “…it is easier to find two consecutive
verses in which the two MSS. differ the one from the other, than two consecutive
verses in which they entirely agree…”. Herman Hoskier did a full collation of these
two manuscripts in the Gospels, and counted the following disagreements:
Therefore, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are worthless manuscripts. They display horrible
penmanship, and have been subject to many correctors. They disagree with the vast
majority of manuscript evidence, and even among each other. They are false witnesses
of the Word of God. The text found therein is not the preserved Word of God,
because it hasn’t been preserved. If it was the true Word of God, it would have been
readily available to all generations. Burgon explains,
I am utterly unable to believe, in short, that God’s promise [of
preservation] has so entirely failed, that at the end of 1800 years much of
the text of the Gospel had in point of fact to be picked by a German
critic out of a waste-paper basket in the convent of St. Catherine; and
that the entire text had to be remodelled after the pattern set by a couple
of copies which had remained in neglect during fifteen centuries, and
had probably owed their survival to that neglect; whilst hundreds of
others had been thumbed to pieces, and had bequeathed their witness to
copies made from them.
These ancient MSS owe their preservation not to the providence of God, but to the
neglect of man.
In these last days, Satan is doing everything in his power to prepare men for the great
deception of the Antichrist. As Sinaiticus and Vaticanus have been exalted in the
public’s eye, many are turning away from the KJV, the Pure Word of God and
embracing the corrupt modern bibles. These manuscripts may be the driving force to
get “Protestants” to accept the Apocrypha as well as the Epistle of Barnabas and the
Shepherd of Hermas, books so heretical that even the Roman Catholic Church does
not accept them as Scripture. We need to be alert, and not fall for these manuscript
idols. We also need to be aware that most Bible versions, other than the KJV, rely
heavily on these manuscripts. The NKJV, while using the correct text, includes
“alternate readings” from Sinaiticus and Vaticanus in the margin. (Such as “The oldest
MSS. say…”) We need to reject these for the tried and true King James Version.
It all comes down to which Bible you choose to read
and believe?
You must decide whether or not you believe God has kept this promise.
Did He preserve His Word throughout the generations? Or did He not?
That decision will lead you to one of two Bible texts- The True Word of God
preserved in the 1611 King James Version that points to the True Jesus-Son of God
or to the corrupted word in all the modern Bible versions such as NIV, NKJV, etc
which point to the false jesus-the son of perdition-Antichrist. The Bible that points to
Jesus Christ as the only Begotten Son of God and says that He came in the flesh is the
pure Bible which is the KJV but every bible that denies that Jesus as God came in the
flesh and denies Him as the only Begotten Son of God is a corrupted Bible "Who is a
liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the
Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22, KJV)."Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the
world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." 1 John
4:1-3, KJV. This is how you recognize which Bible is pure and which is corrupt.
God places a judgment on any one who corrupts the pure Word of God and the same
fate awaits those who read the corrupt bibles. "For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this Book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this Book: And if any
man shall take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this Book." Revelation 22:18-19, KJV.
The written Word of God is our final Authority in all matters of which It speaks, for
It is God's final revelation to man. The Bible is God's trustworthy, Authoritative
Book, and no more is to be added thereto. All evidence points to the KJV as the
uncorrupted and infallible Bible God would have His people use in these last days
before the Second Coming of Christ. Praise God, He has given to us His Word, and
we have before us in the English language the Authorized King James Bible, a literal,
accurate translation of the very words God breathed in His Revelation to man. With
the writing of the Book of Revelation, the Bible was complete and closed with no
room for further revelations. With the writing of the Book of Revelation, the last
book of the Bible, the Canon of the Scriptures was sealed, with no more special books
or revelations from God. With the passing of the original disciples of the Lord Jesus
"that which is perfect"-the Written Word of the Living God-was come.
The modern bibles are false prophets and false teachers, wolves in sheep’s clothing
that have been created to deceive people. Beware of these false bibles which produce
imperfect faith, corrupt your very soul and drag you to the bowels of Hell.
So which Bible are you reading- The True Preserved Word of God- KJV or one of
the corrupted modern versions? In these end times, which Bible you choose to read is
a matter of life and death. It determines if we become deceived and fall away from
faith in Jesus Christ or knowing the Truth & standing firm in our faith in Jesus Christ.
The fate of your eternal destiny depends on which Bible you read. The fate of your
soul depends on it. Choose wisely. Don't settle for anything less than God's Words.
Why Were the Books of the Old Testament Apocrypha Rejected as Holy
Scripture by the Protestants?
These books of Apocrypha, which were labeled as non-canon by Saint Jerome (4th
century monk and scholar who made the original translation from the original
languages in Latin that is still used by the Catholic church) were not part of the Jewish
Canon at the time of Christ's Life. The Jewish Canon at that time included all of the
39 books of the Old Testament but the books now called Apocryphal had been set
aside centuries prior. In fact, at the time of Jerome’s translation, they could only be
found in the Septuagint, a Greek Translation of the Jewish Canon finished around the
4th century BC. Since Jerome saw that the Jews didn't use them, and for other reasons
that go back to the Synod of Hypo and beyond, Jerome felt they didn't belong and
held no value (the meaning of Apocryphal is “these don't belong”). He only kept
them at the behest of his friend St Augustin.
The KJV translators translated the apocrypha along with the Old and New
Testaments. The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the
original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the
Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha
was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D.
There are doctrines and practices contained in the Apocrypha that are contrary to
what the Scripture teaches. The books of the Apocrypha were rejected by most
church leaders.
1. The Apocrypha Is Never Cited In The New Testament As Scripture:
Though the New Testament cites directly, or alludes to, almost every book of
the Old Testament as Scripture, it never cites the Apocrypha as being God's
Word. The Apocrypha was not the Bible of Jesus or His apostles. While Jesus
and Hs apostles often quoted from the Septuagint, they never quoted from the
Apocrypha. Furthermore no book of the Apocrypha is mentioned by name in
the New Testament. The fact that the Apocrypha is found in the Septuagint
translation does not prove anything. It merely testifies that the Alexandrian
Jews translated other religious material into Greek apart from the Old
Testament Scripture. A Greek translation is not the same thing as a book being
part of the Hebrew canon.
The books of the Apocrypha should not be considered as Holy Scripture because they
do not give any evidence as being authoritative. Protestants deny the canonical status
of these books on the basis of both internal and external evidence. This evidence
includes the following.
First, the Apocrypha contains doctrines and practices that contradict what has been
previously revealed in Scripture. Add to this the Apocrypha is never cited in the New
Testament as Holy Scripture. This is in contrast to the canonical books - almost all of
them are cited.
The Jews rejected the Apocrypha as being part of God's Word. For one reason, these
books were written after God had ceased giving divine revelation. In these years God
was not giving any authoritative word to His people.
The fact that the Apocrypha is found in the manuscripts of the Septuagint proves
nothing - we do not know the content of the Septuagint in pre-Christian times.
Furthermore there is no evidence of a wider Alexandrian canon of Scripture. The
Jews, wherever they lived, used the same Hebrew canon that did not include the
Apocrypha.
The Apocrypha was not on any early list of Christian books that were considered
Scripture. While a few church fathers quoted them as authoritative, most did not. In
addition, none of those fathers who cited the Apocrypha as authoritative Scripture
knew any Hebrew.
There is also the problem with the exact content of the Apocrypha. The books
contained in the Apocrypha are not well defined - not everyone can agree on which
books are authoritative.
Augustine, while a great thinker, did not read Hebrew and knew very little Greek.
Furthermore he accepted the fanciful account of the origin of the Septuagint. Jerome,
a real Hebrew scholar rejected the books outright.
Many Roman Catholic scholars, to the time of the Protestant Reformation, rejected
the Apocrypha as Scripture. While some Protestants make some use of the Apocrypha
it has always been rejected as Scripture.
Another major problem for the Apocrypha is demonstrable historical errors in it. This
is not consistent with God's Word being error-free. Furthermore there is no evidence
in these books of divine authority - fulfilled prophecy is lacking. Add to this there is
no claim within the books of God's authority.
Finally we have the testimony of Jesus. He said the Scriptures were true and could not
be broken. However the Apocrypha was not Scripture to Him. Since neither the Jews,
Jesus, or His apostles considered these writings as part of the Old Testament neither
should we.
The present thirty-nine books of the Old Testament are the complete Scripture that
God has given us. There are no other divinely authoritative books of Scripture that
belong to the Old Testament.
