INTRODUCTION:
All of these pages have the same verses at top in the introduction, designed to help you understand how to understand the Word of God, in context, without any of one's own private interpretation which changes meanings to fit one's pet doctrines. Not to mention goes against the Word of God.
(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
(2 Peter 3:16 [KJV])
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
(Psalms 12:6-7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
(2 Timothy 2:15-16 [KJV])
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
(Acts 17:10-11 [KJV])
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
As the verses above say and teach, always research for yourself, always use all of the context of all Scripture, always rightly divide that Word of Truth and never privately interpret it!
All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The
- Bring a teachable spirit
- Bring faith in God and trust Him, not men, not yourself
- Know and fully understand that the Holy Spirit will use the Word of God to guide us into all truth if it is available to us. That means the WRITTEN WORD, not some "special" " revelation"
- Know the importance of this very thing. this very subject, the importance of having all of God's Word in one book, in one place, that you can hold in in your hands, that you can call THE WORD OF GOD
- Know that BEING the Word of God and CONTAINING the Word of God are not the same thing at all
- Know that this was never a problem until the introductions of the "modern" "ver$ion$" (yes, those are dollar $ign$)
- Remember always that we are called to read the Word of God, study the Word of God, believe the Word of God, memorize the Word of God, teach and preach from the Word of God, know and understand that same Word of God, live by the Word of God, use the Word of God as our only offensive weapon against the enemy (like Jesus did) and to discern truth from lies, and use the Word of God as our only final written authority
- One must know that the Authorized Version, the King James Bible, is the divinely authorized English translation of the Bible. King James did no translation, only authorized it and, ultimately, that was God using him, not himself.
- This means that it is not just superior to other versions, but exclusively IS the Word of God for English speaking people
- Rejection of the Authorized Version is the belief that God failed to preserve His Word forever, which is why the publishers tell the masses that new "ver$ion$" are necessary
Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;
that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
It does not say to charge money to publish anything, to make large corporations that print books and copyright the words in them. "Freely ye have received, freely give" jesus said..
- These rejections are merely winds of false utternly doctrine
- It was never ever necessary to "update the archaic language" of the KJV since so many people worldwide understand and use it so widely. That was a $$$$$$$$$ decision, not a spiritual one
- It was never ever necessary to "update the archaic language" of the KJV since there has never even been a single attempt to do so.
- It was never, ever necessary to "update the archaic language" of the KJV since there is no such ting as a new discovery of any text that can refute it, correct it, update it in any wastebasket, cave, monastery, etc. .
- Their greed for money and making a prey of you that works well for them, so be a Berean, a faithful follower and know how to spot a lie
- It must be known, remembered and said that, decades ago, when a person was to become a bank teller, the first few weeks of training were spent passing money through their hands all day to feel the ridges on the bills so that, when a counterfeit bill was handed to them, they would instantly know that it was a fraud, a fake, a counterfeit, an imposter and buzz the manager. Would to God that Christians would do the same and know the truth in order to spot a lie!
- Understand that we do not know everything God knows, everything that God will reveal when we are in heaven. Our lack of understanding or knowing what God means does not mean that He did not say it. It does not mean that He said it and later lost it somehow, some times ago in the past. He said He would keep His word and words forever. Man says God failed. God said man failed to believe and wants to tamper with it.
Man......God......Man......God......Man......God......which one should we believe? We need to believe God and not man.
(Romans 3:4 [KJV])
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
(Deuteronomy 29:29 [KJV])
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
- It is not merely stating "is not the most accurate representation of the original manuscripts.", but rather the only one that is translated purely and is all, wholly, perfectly translated out of the original manuscripts and totally accurate in every place. No other version can make this claim, which is why their proponents hate the KJV and lie about it, as many are disciples of the mainstream writer James White
Never go into the mainstream. Once you enter, at some point in the future, you will weaken and float downstream!
- Many Statements of Beliefs of both churches, ministries and seminaries, in their statements of faith, state:
"We herein state and affirm that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, though written by men, was supernaturally inspired by God so that all its words are the written true revelation of God; it is therefore inerrant in the originals "
"in the originals"
That is an outright lie! So now ask yourself, "Having never once seen one, how would they know this? They do not and cannot. All that they did is push the proof to something that does not any longer exist on earth, so that can then they hope that you cannot prove them wrong. . The Bible says to "prove all things"
(1 Thessalonians 5:21 [KJV])
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
(1 Timothy 6:4-5 [KJV] )
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse
disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute
of the truth…from such withdraw thyself.
(Romans 16:17-18 [KJV])
Mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;
and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Those who are simply too lazy to think for themselves are easily brainwashed, looking for convenience; looking for "easier to read and understand" bibles because they do not and do not want to study the only English translation and learn their own language. They want someone else to do their thinking for them and therefore control it and their mind.
(Jeremiah 23:30, 31, 35, 36 [KJV])
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,
saith the LORD, that steal my words every one
from his neighbor. Behold, I am against the
prophets, saith the LORD, that use their
tongues, and say, He saith…What hath the
LORD spoken?...for ye have perverted the words
of the living God.
So how can one do this with something one has never seen to an unbeliever? God said that it would be preserved forever (Psalms 12:6-7). so that book is inspired, inerrant or infallible at all today. Therefore that book they hold is not any of those things. God lost them. So they are outright lying and calling God a liar!
- The KJV is a word for word translation, not thought for thought. The "scholars" (God is not fond of them) call theirs "dynamic equivalence", or "thought for thought", while actual translation word for word they call "formal equivalence". The KJV is a direct translation out of the original tongues, and the ONLY ONE that is a direct translation, not a paraphrase, not a commentary and the only one that has a built in dictionary
- The KJV that is word for word, not thought for thought.
- Understand that there is an absolute answer, independent of you and I that does not require us to believe it
- Know and understand that a nearly perfect, ninety percent intact Bible is not Holy, nor can it be nearly holy. ONE SIN and a person is bound for hell for all eternity as God said, "Be ye holy for I am Holy." and your book in your hands says "Holy Bible" on it. God is Holy and there is no sin in Him. His definition of Holy us pure, perfect, sinless, without error and not nearly so, but 100% so! He did not give us His "Ivory Soap Bible" which is 99 44/100% pure!
- Be a Berean and do your own careful study
(Acts 17:10-11 [KJV])
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
- How can we be pure and walk with God outside of the washing with the Word of God, both the Living Word Jesus Christ and the written Word of God?. How can we receive the Word when we do not have it available, do not even know what it is?
(Ephesians 5:26 [KJV])
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
- All of God's promises to us are in the Word of God, from salvation to prophecy, blessings, curses, hope
- All of the matters of faith and practice are to have a Final Written Authority and that Final Authority is not to be us, but God through His Word
- Know that the Word of God is alive, active, our only offensive weapon we have in the spiritual war we are in and foretells the Gospel, all that we need to know
- How do you fight error, correct hereticks, expose cults, protect sheep, etc.?
- We preach that Word, that Gospel
- God Himself had to preserve His Word because mankind would not
- God Himself told us that He alone would preserve His Word
- Know that every argument, every attack agains the KJV has failed over four hundred plus years, miserably.
- Know that no revival in America or Europe has ever happened since the advent of the "modern" "versions"
- Know that we are in Laodicea and that men are falling away, leading many astray, fleecing the flock of God
- Know that there have ALWAYS been two "Words of God" since the garden, two lines of manuscripts, one from God and one from Eve and the enemy, two deadly versions
- If you study the true history of the Bible, you will see God has always preserved His Word and words. It was always there. In English, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Hebrew..........whatever language, it was always there. And always will be.
- We were never commanded to interpret or paraphrase or critique or change the Bible to make it "more readable". We were told to read, study, learn from, use and live by the Bible!
- Want to unite the Church? Get thee under ONE Bible, not 100s.
- When we decide that there is no ultimate truth, we believe whatever we want or what we think is right in our own eyes.
- You get your doctrine from that book, so it better be perfect. That word "doctrine" has been removed numerous times, somethings every time, in the "modern" "versions", sp who wou;d want to do that? God? No.
- That Word of God is our daily food. Do we want to poison ourselves with just a teeny amount of arsenic in a large amount of food?
- You do not understand the ancient Hebrew. FACT. No one in Israel even does any longer today. IRREFUTABLE TRUTH
- You do not understand Koine Greek. FACT. No one in Greece does any longer today. They speak CLASSICAL Greek. IRREFUTABLE TRUTH
- YOU do NOT have any "original", as no one you have ever met has one, nor anyone you have you eve heard of anyone who knows anyone who has ever seen one. They are no longer in existence, for centuries. God Himself NEVER used "originals" He used copies of copies by scribes, bound in books since Adam. It was always in books, copies of books, then as now.
To quote the late Dave Hunt, a prophecy teacher who believed that King James Bible; quoting another pastor,
"We spend all of our time, we've all got different translations, or paraphrases, we spend so much time trying to figure out which is the right one we never get into the Bible!"
He continued..."And I'm not trying to be friendly. I can tell you where we're going. There is gonna be a famine for the Word of God. And the Bible is not only being changed, trashed, well, since we're talking about it, let me give you an example:"
This is his example he gave:
KJV:
1 Peter 5:10:
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
"The Message":
1 Peter 5:10:
It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.
Here is another example he gave:
John 8:23 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:23 "The Message"
Jesus said, “You’re tied down to the mundane; I’m in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I’m living on other terms. I told you that you were missing God in all this. You’re at a dead end. If you won’t believe I am who I say I am, you’re at the dead end of sins. You’re missing God in your lives.”
John 8:23 in the Word of God clearly says and shows that Jesus is from Heaven and not this world as are we when we are saved. He was passing through as we are passing through this life which is but a vapor. The Message's false message is that we live a boring, "going through the motions daily grind " life. That Jesus is over the horizon, which is simply the curvature of the earth, same world!!!! It says nothing of where He said He is from, HEAVEN (not of this world)
What in the world is this garbage, this nonsense, this utter mess? It is deliberate deception and corruption from the serpent, "yea, hath God said?".
This is just ONE EXAMPLE of the disaster of walking away from God's Word to write your own! It is rubbish, garbage, trash. "The Message" is endorsed by leading Christians, pastors, teachers. This is why we must avoid the mainstream. Read God's Word, not them. Can you meet with them and talk to them to correct their teaching? Or call them on the phone, these authors? God's Word never changes and they never stop publishing new "ver$ion$$$$" (notice the dollar signs?).
God's Word does not and cannot change. The "versions" never stop changing.
(Deuteronomy 17:18 [KJV])
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
(Deuteronomy 31:24-26 [KJV])
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
- You do not understand the ancient Hebrew. FACT. No one in Israel even does any longer today. IRREFUTABLE TRUTH.
- Therefore, we do not know what any "original" says, since we have no access to one. Not a one
- Therefore, if we think we need to know what "originals" we have no access to say, then it must be concluded that we do not believe the Bible God gave us in English as it is written, which people died to give us, as inspired, infallible, inerrant.
- We do not want to be fools who run to foreign, unspoken and long dead languages to "clarify" or "get clarity" on our own actual language we actually speak (English). We just must admit that we do not believe that the English is the Word of God that God gave us out, translated out of the original tongues, preserved like He promised and saved and transmitted with the blood of martyrs over the Dark Ages til today.
- If we think that we need any "original languages" to know what God said, we then need to stop reading the Word in English and start speaking, reading, preaching and teaching ONLY in ancient Hebrew (not spoken in Israel) and ancient Greek (no longer spoken in Greece) Just give up English altogether, to be consistent in our thinking and behavior. Only read and speak ancient Greek and ancient Hebrew.
- The false teachings in the modern bibles are the result of this "advanced scholarship in linguistics and textual criticism", as James White likes to call it. It is backwards, not godly and not what God asked anyone to do, criticize His Word!
COPIES: WHAT GOD USED THROUGHOUT TIME
(Joshua 8:32 [KJV])
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
This said, God never did, nor would, nor did He say He did or would send anyone back into Egypt to translate His Old Testament into Greek.
ORIGINAL #1
(Jeremiah 36:23 [KJV]) )
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
ORIGINAL #2
(Jeremiah 36:28 [KJV]) )
Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
(Jeremiah 36:32 [KJV]) )
Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. (Jeremiah 45-51)
(Jeremiah 51:63 [KJV]) )
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
ORIGINAL #3: Jeremiah 45-51 is still in the Scriptures!
- The newer "versions" are made from completely different materials, often from Alexandria, Egypt-a place God told the Jews never to return to and nothing good for God ever came from there
(Exodus 13:17 [KJV])
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
(Numbers 14:3 [KJV])
And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
(Deuteronomy 17:15-16 [KJV])
Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
(Exodus 13:17 [KJV])
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
(Deuteronomy 17:18 [KJV])
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
That said, God did not send any scribes back to Egypt to translate the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek. Never happened.
- Moses to Pharaoh was speaking Chaldean to Hebrew
Paul to the crowd Paul spoke Hebrew to Greek.
- In their bad effort at making God's Word "readable" and "understandable" these publishers have polluted it, adulterated it and falsely claimed it is still God's Word.
- God warned everyone to never do this (Proverbs 30:5-6, Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:19-10
- Paul said they were even doing it in his day and it is now recorded history that they were taking his writings, editing them and releasing as his, as God's Word. Much like the publishers today do daily for profit!
(2 Corinthians 2:17 [KJV])
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
- YOU do NOT have any "original", as no one you have ever met has one, nor anyone you have you ever even heard of, or anyone who knows anyone who has ever seen one. They are no longer in existence, for centuries. God Himself NEVER used "originals" He used copies of copies by scribes, bound in books since Adam. So give that garbage up. That is illustrated for us in Jeremiah 36.
- Therefore, you do not know what any "original" says, since you have no access to one. Not a one.
Therefore, you do not believe the Bible God gave you in English as it is written, which people died to give you, as holy. inspired, infallible, inerrant.
Only a fool would run to foreign, unpoken and long dead languages to "clarify" or "get clarity" on the actual language they speak. Just admit it. That you do not believe the English is the Word of God that God gave you out, translated out of the original tongues, preserved like He promised and saved and transmitted with the blood of martyrs over the Dark Ages til today. .
If you think that you need any "original languages" to know what God said, you then need to stop reading the Word in English and start preaching and teaching ONLY in ancient Hebrew and ancient Koine Greek (no longer spoken in Greece) manuscripts, Just give up English to be consistent. Only read and speak ancient Greek and ancient Hebrew from here on out. You do not need English then. Pray to God only in Hebrew and Greek then, make sure it is Koine and not classical Greek!
So no, you are dangerously wrong and you call God a liar.. YAHWEH is a pagan Moabite God and not the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Those two characters ("J" and "V") in all other words in Hebrew are translated as a "J" and "V". That is the ONLY WORD that the Bible correctors Origen and Westcott and Hort, etc. (pagans) changed to a "Y" and a "W". Why? Why call God a pagan idol god of the Moabites?
JEHOVAH IS NOT YAHWEH and a "J" is not a "Y" and a "V" is not a "W".
(Matthew 24:35 [KJV])
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
(Galatians 3:8 [KJV])
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
(Galatians 1:6-10[KJV])
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
The "modern" "versions" preach another gospel. which is no gospel.
There is no "other" gospel.
(2 Timothy 3:16 [KJV])
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
One cannot use the Aord of God for these purposes if they dio not perfectly have it and are trying to "find it" or "restore it" or "recover it".
THEIR OWN FINAL AUTHORITY, TIME AFTER TIME!!
(Judges 17:6 [KJV])
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
(Judges 18:1 [KJV])
In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
(Judges 19:1 [KJV])
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
(Judges 21:25 [KJV])
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
THIS IS HOW TO STOP THAT
(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
(Hebrews 4:12 [KJV])
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Jude 1:3 [KJV])
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(2 Timothy 2:23-26 [KJV])
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
You cannot fight the enemy and contend for the faith with a dull sword. Or no sword. That is his plan because he knows he will win.
Titus 1:15
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
(John 5:39 [KJV])
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
How can one search the Scriptures if they think God inspired them and then lost them? Where and what are they? Do you have them? Can you hold them in your hand with pure conscience and say that these are all of the words and the perfect Word of God to man, and all man needs to know from God, or no?
(1 Corinthians 5:6 [KJV])
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
How many jots and tittles, how many letters, how many words can be changed to completely corrupt God's Word. ONE. Try making leavened bread with a tiny bit of yeast only.
(1 Corinthians 5:6 [KJV])
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Matthew 5:16-18 [KJV])
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Thou shalt keep "them".........thou shalt keep the words of the LORD, basic English, the subject of the sentence, the object refers to the subject
SEVEN TIMES PURIFIED
- Tyndale Bible
- Matthew's Bible
- Coverdale Bible
- Great Bible
- Geneva Bible
- Bishop's Bible
- Authorized Version 1611
While the King James Bible, the Authorized Version, translated in 1611 was not the very first Bible to be translated into English, we do know that it should be quite obvious by now that the Authorized Version is the very last English Bible; and the only English Bible that God "authorized." by a King for God's Glory.
ALL IN DUE TIME
The contexts here are not always about the purification process, in context. However, let us look at it in this way. When GOD was ready, He would be done with His Word (1611) not us. We have to humble ourselves as they did and wait upon the LORD. One day soon "all Israel shall be saved". Not yet, but in due time. in God's time.
(Habakkuk 2:3 [KJV])
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
(1 Peter 5:5-6 [KJV])
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
(1 Timothy 2:6 [KJV])
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
(1 Timothy 3:16 [KJV])
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 word "God" is removed in the modern versions and replaced with "he was manifest in the flesh". Who is "he"? All man are "manifest in the flesh" and we are not God. It says GOD Himself was made man, manifest in the flesh, in the likeness of sinful man in his flesh.
(Romans 5:6 [KJV])
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
(Titus 1:3 [KJV])
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
(Romans 16:26 [KJV])
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
(2 Peter 3:9 [KJV])
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Mankind had a "Dark Ages" for a 1,000 years with very little open exposure to the Word of God, as it was foretold:
(Amos 8:11-12 [KJV])
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: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
This was already fulfilled yet, through it all, God never lost His Word and words, every last one. He is the God of the Resurrections and they were preserved by faithful men, martyrs, etc. throughout time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(2 Timothy 4:2 [KJV])
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
- We cannot fulfill the above commandment without having the word!
- The idea that we need "modern" "versions" is a huge, cleverly devised fable, even done 2,000 years ago!
- What God's Word IS determines what it SAYS
- What God's Word SAYS determines what it MEANS
- God never asked mankind to correct His Word; He asked us to read it and believe it
- God never asked mankind to critique His Word or be a "textual critic"; He asked us to read it and believe it
- There has not been an original on earth of any "manuscript" in any language and God did not deal with originals; HE dealt with copes because they were worn out from use
- The reason that the minority texts are so pristine is because the ancients knew they were fakes, imposters
- The LXX and the Dead Sea Scrolls ARE NOT the Word of God
- God said He would preserve every WORD. The modern, serpentine "textual critics" say He only preserved the general meaning, not every word, calling God a liar!
- Erasmus’s work in the early 16th century and later editions by Stephanus and Beza. White argues that modern critical texts, such as the Nestle-Aland/United Bible Societies (NA/UBS) Dead Sea Scrolls or the Septuagint (LXX)
- Young children in schools iin America read the KJV in the classrooms a hundred years ago were raised on it and understood it, as well as foreigners, then as now. Today, people claim they do not understand it. Why? They simply do not read it, study it is all.
"Which Version Is the Bible?" by Dr. Floyd Nolen Jones:
AN ASSESSMENT OF ERASMUS1
Desiderius Erasmus was a Renaissance humanist2. The illegitimate son of a Roman Catholic priest, Erasmus was himself an ordained priest. He taught Greek at Cambridge University from AD 1510 to 1514.
As to the criticism that Erasmus was Roman Catholic – in his day, almost all of Christendom was Roman. He flourished before and at the onset of the Reformation. Indeed, virtually all the Reformers – many of whom were priests, had been Catholic. Thus, to fault Erasmus for being Catholic is not wholly warranted. Erasmus vehemently protested the abuses within the Church. He decried the emphasis on ritual as opposed to a simple godly life as wrong and believed that such could be corrected by placing into every man’s hand the Bible in his own language. All this produced a violent reaction from the Romish establishment. He did not want to completely do away with the ritual of Rome, but he wanted a
1 Edward Freer Hills, Believing Bible Study, (2nd ed., Des Moines, IA: Christian Research
Press, 1977), pp. 189–194.
2 The Christian humanistic elements in Erasmus’ thought were completely dissimilar from the contemporary connotation of “humanism”. The Renaissance connotation was “men eminent for human learning” – especially in relation to the revival of learning in literature and language (notably Latin and Greek). In his day the term “humanist” designated a member of a distinct “international intellectual club” that was dedicated to studying the humanities or liberal arts. Due to his great erudition, depth of thought, elegance of style and biting irony, Erasmus stood forth among these intellectuals as the unrivaled “prince of humanist”. Erasmus’ humanism found expression in his insistence to return to the original sources in order to uncover truth. Thus, his edition of the Greek NT was a natural manifestation of his Christian humanistic bent. By means of this text he hoped to see the Roman Church renewed from within.
I am indebted to a 2-11-1991 correspondence from Dr. Theodore P. Letis for many of these insights on Erasmus, especially with regard to his “humanism”. Letis taught a course on
Erasmus at New College, Edinburgh University in 1990. This view on Erasmus’ humanism also comes across throughout Froude, Life and Letters of Erasmus, op. cit.
So God used Erasmus, an imperfect sinner. God used Balaam's ass as a prophet. He uses you; He uses me, as dust from which we originally came.
- The false teachers, false apostles and heretics such as Origen then in Paul's day, as today, were taking Paul's epistles and rewriting them, removing things they did not like, did not believe or did not want to believe, and passing them around, trying to pass them off as epistles from Paul
2 Thessalonians 2:2
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
- Later on it was Westcott and Hort, two occultists revered to this day by Christians in America as being actual believers, and they were spiritists, believing in ghosts, automatic writing, telekinesis, etc. and attended seances with their friend Madame Blavatsky
- Those who say they cannot understand the King James Bible because the words are too old. archaic, fallen from use will then turn right around and instantly run to two dead languages no one on earth understands and say that it is for the purpose of "clarity"!!! Think about that. They won't.
- People who reject the King James will also run to an appeal to authority and, strangely, an appeal to majority, which majority supports only the KJV!.
- Know that the canon is already established and that the items rejected were all carefully checked, rechecked and rejected because they contained errors
- Know that these can all be read by you, but you must never consider them to be God's Word
- Know that the dishonesty of the proponents of the "modern" "versions" is that the translators used inferior mss. compared to what we have now, as in "oldest and best", which were simply unused and in pristine condition because of misuse, and were rejected by the translators because they were error laden.
- Oldest is oldest; best is neither old nor young; it is simply God's Word or it is not, no matter how old!
- Either God guided the translators or they simply worked in their sinful flesh and God lost His Word forever, because we no longer have "originals"
(Numbers 23:19 [KJV])
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
(1 Peter 1:24-25 [KJV])
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
(Mark 8:36-38 [KJV])
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Taking the "MVO" (Modern Versions Only) position, or, taking the "AVO" (ALL Versions Only) position, a careful reader, an inquiring mind would conversely ask back,
If the King James Only position is summarily dismissed, now one has to ask, "Why on earth would we have to wait 2,000 years thus far and still not have a complete Word of God in one single book, all of the words intact, perfectly translated and preserved within its covers?
On that same note, when Adam and Eve sinned, why did God not just wipe them, the serpent, the earth and the entire heavens out and away and just start over?
Why did not God give Adam a Bible with Genesis to Revelation for him to read, trust in completely, THEN create Eve, THEN send in the serpent? Do you know what 2030 will bring for 100% certainty?
God does, and has not 100% told us yet. We roughly know from His Word, but either we will be here or raptured and the world will find out the hard way. God put Israel in their land again in 1948. Is that date of 1948 in Scripture, or does it say "last days"? Trust God for His timing, not ours. Do you think that, for 5-6,000 years, not one single person on earth asked God to give them the entire book of His Word and words perfectly, yet we had to wait on Him anyways, after asking? That is what He means by "in due time" Due to Him, not due to us. Why did God end the Dark Ages with Rome after 1,000 years and have Johann Guttenburg (in the mid 1400s) invent the printing press so much later than letting man have a pen, paper, vellum to hand copy and bind into books His Word? "In due time".
(Exodus 23:2 [KJV])
¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
But most Christians do not read the King James Bible!! This is right now the hottest and most POPULAR Bible out there!" Now read that above verse again and remember well. When Israel followed the multitude to do evil, did not they wind up in captivity once more?
(Colossians 3:16 [KJV])
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
How can one do that if they are unavailable? If they are unsure about them being perfectly in existence?
"there are no original manuscripts of the Bible available today. The Old Testament scribes destroyed the scrolls upon which Scripture was written as they became worn, and "dog eared" from so much handling. When they copied out a new one, they destroyed the old so that the earliest Old Testament manuscript now in existence is dated about 900 A.D. This is called the Hebrew Masoretic Text. It was the earliest witness to the text of the O.T. that we possessed until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls which contain some parts of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah. Likewise, We possess no "original" New Testament manuscripts - none of the "autographs" which the apostles wrote have been preserved. This brings us to the third question."
-Dr. Floyd Nolen Jones, Which Version Is The Bible?, p. 3.
AN "OBJECTION" BY AVOs, MVOs AGAINST THE KJV:
One thing foisted by many Independent Fundamental Baptists is that, "You can't be saved without the King James Bible!" which is two things:
- Completely wrong and rank heresy
- In no way, shape or form any reason to reject the pure English Bible translation done in 1611, which is the same as today, no matter what. Is all rank heresy from televangelists a reason to reject the Gospel? No! Speaking of the unbelievers throughout Israel's history, Paul says to us:
(Romans 3:3 [KJV])
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
(John 12:48 [KJV])
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
In other words, this principle applies today in the last days also, as there were, are and always will be those who lack faith in God, those who reject God's Word, self proclaimed "scholars"who make believe they are saved, false teachers, false apostles, and etc. Unbelievers immediately point to these so that they can reject truth, stopping their ears. This all will not wash with God, so therefore should not with us either.
"DO NOT THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER!"
- God kept Israel and keeps you saved, not yourself. If God cannot preserve and keep His Word perfectly, how is it you think He can keep YOU and I once we are saved? Different God? Is not Israel back into their land and intact, still to this day?
A SIMPLE COMPARISON:
A claim is made that the Nearly inspired Version (NIV) is the most popular today, another lie, I am sure, because they want to make $$$$$$$$$$$.
ANOTHER OBJECTION TO THE MODERN VERSIONS
When you reject God's perfectly preserved Word in English for English speaking people, you are then your own final authority, sitting in judgment on God's Word, which he placed above His Holy Name (Psalms 138:2). You are now walking on thin ice for discipline by God.
We do not pick what we want to believe God said and what we believe God did not say or might have said and teach and deceive others also, People do this because they do not like what God said. God says horrible truths about mankind. Truth hurts, but that is no excuse to change what God writes, adding, deleting, altering that text to fit our pet doctrines.
Psalms 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. This command not to take the LORD's Name in vain is not a suggestion. It is a commandment of the TEN Commandments
(Exodus 34:28 [KJV])
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
(Exodus 20:7 [KJV])
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
(Deuteronomy 5:11 [KJV])
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Psalms 119:89
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
James 1:5-6
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed
Wisdom comes from God's Word and fear of God Himself, but unstable people do not believe they have His Word, but almost have it. They have ivory soap bibles, 99/44 100% preserved, imprrfect, unholy.
(2 Peter 3:16 [KJV])
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
(James 1:8 [KJV])
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
THE KJV VS. "MODERN" "VERSIONS"
(Psalms 12:6,7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [NIV])
And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold[c] refined seven times. You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,
(footnote in the modern versions)
c. Psalm 12:6 Probable reading of the original Hebrew text; Masoretic Text earth.
This is merely foretelling providential preservation by God and not man, God using man to carry out His Divine Will with His Word..
- The words are pure, seven being the perfect number
- The same people who think that is should read "cleanse" in 1 John 8:9 say this should be changed from "pure" to "flawless" here-FOR NO REASON!
- "pure" is not archaic in any way, and the word "flawless" was therefore completely unnecessary to change it to, and shows it came from a different source, is not translated and is purely a paraphrase
- A furnace is is not archaic, is indeed a modern word, the word "crucible" was therefore unnecessary to change it to.
- "Silver" is not an archaic word, therefore "gold" with a footnote was unnecessary
- "tried" and "purified" are not an archaic words, therefore changing it to "refined" was therefore unnecessary
- God preserving His words in His Word by saying "Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them...."
Therefore changing it to:
"You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked" was therefore unnecessary
- Clearly, the NIV is in error, making that UNHOLY, not God's Word at all, making it wicked
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [NASB])
The words of the Lord are pure words; Like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, filtered seven times. You, Lord, will keep them; You will protect him from this generation forever.
- The word "as" is not archaic, therefore changing that to "like" was unnecessary
- A furnace made from dirt, clay, stone, sand, from things that make u0 the earth, is not the same as a furnace sitting ON the ground.
- "purified" is not an archaic word, therefore changing it to "filtered" was therefore unnecessary. Oh, and filtering is not even close to purifying. if you filter water. it still has to be purified
- They sort of got the rest the same, at least they referred to what was being kept forever
- And then they changed it from "preserve them" (the words of the LORD) to "protect him". Protect him? Who is this "him" being protected? Who decided that that was correct, since
"preserve them" (the words of the LORD) is not archaic? Why would anyone change the subject of a verse in the Bible to make it not even make sense any more?
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Psalms 12:6, 7 [NRSV])
The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. You, O Lord, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation forever.
It must always be remembered that the reason, according to the publishers, editors, writers, of the paraphrased "newer" "versions" is to "update the archaic language of the KJV". That said, if one examines that claim in a verse by verse comparison, one cannot even begin to think that that is true.
- The words are pure, not the promises, since "words" is not archaic, promises are always made from words written or spoken, and it said "words", with nothing archaic, nothing to change
- Again, as stated above, the furnace is made out of what? Just sitting on the ground? The words "furnace of earth" are in no way archaic, not needing to be changed
- The words "keep" is again changed to "protect US", the
- And again, the words are not being "preserved" here, but WE are being "guarded"
This is equivalent as saying, "My friend has a very nice home. He keeps that old 1957 Chevy (switching from the home to now a car) painted so that it will last for years". So the very first reason is that there is and can only be ONE that is correct, not any others.
The subject of the verse is the word, being kept, preserved. Not people, being protected, guarded
"THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT ARE NOT THE SAME! WORDS THAT ARE DIFFERENT DO NOT MEAN THE SAME!"
- It is the only one that is a translation from the majority texts of over 5,000 manuscripts, various language bibles, while all others are translations from a minority amount of deliberately corrupted manuscripts; they are translated paraphrases at best, rank heresy at worst
- God invented all languages
(Genesis 11:7)
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
- God knows how to translate, and did so in Scripture-Moses spoke to Pharaoh, in Chaldean, and it was translated, or else, we have no idea what Moses and Pharaoh said to each other at all, nor can we ever know.
(Exodus 10:24)
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
- If God inspired it, did not preserve it like He promised, and lost it, so that He lied to us, what does that say about our salvation? Can He lose you, lie to you and also save you from hell? Whose god are we talking about here?
(1 Peter 1:24-25)
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Peter is quoting Isaiah:
(Isaiah 40:7-8 [KJV])
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
(John 10:28-29)
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
(John 10:34 [KJV])
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
- God said He would preserve it forever perfectly
- God said it cannot be broken.
(Isaiah 40:7-8)
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
- Reading the footnotes where the modern versions have removed entire verses, they will say lies like "late(r) manuscripts insert _________________", which is false and denies that they actually themselves REMOVED that word, that verse or verses.
- In other words, no "late(r) manuscripts inserted anything. They took it out and lied about it!
- It has ALWAYS been in books, always will be in a book, and we will be judged by a book, not scrolls, not rolls, not parchments, nor manuscripts
(Genesis 5:1)
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
(Revelation 20:12)
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(Revelation 20:15)
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
- There have always, since the Garden, been two "words of God", the real and the close imposter. God does not have "versions", or "paraphrases" only Eve, the serpent and the Corinthians did
(Genesis 3:1)
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, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
(Genesis 3:3)
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
(2 Corinthians 2:17)
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
- This continues to today
- God always told mankind not to tamper with His Word
(Deuteronomy 4:2)
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
(Proverbs 30:5-6)
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
(Revelation 22:18-19)
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.
- Only one was authorized by a King
- God never said that the New Testament Scriptures would be in Greek to the Old Testament believers, yet here it is, in Greek. Did the apostles edit the mss and make "New Versions" of the Old Testament? I trow not!
- Only one was done by experts who knew the languages well and used the God-honored texts
- Only one is not copyrighted, and never will be, as God commanded us to publish it, not merchandi$e it
This goes against God, fully. God NEVER asked anyone to charge money for His Word. The only part copyrighted in a KJV that you buy today is everything outside of the text of the sixty six books (notes, appendices, etc.) You can freely copy a KJV and distribute it as much as you want and God encourages it. Not so with the new "versions" as they belong to the publishers and not the church. Ask them and their lawyers. I tested it. They went silent when I challenged them that they cl;aimed it was God's Word. I tild them God would never copyright His Word and then ask us to share it and publish it. I told them that I would see them in court and they would jave to explain why it says "GOD'S WORD" on the cover when it is theirs, according to they themselves. They went silent, back into the darkness. Not that I would ever distribute it anyways! Ew! Yuck!
"But they did not have copyrights in 1611!"
That is cute. But God never did, nor ever will have one. He is not subject to man's laws. You should stick to copyrighting your own books and stop telling people that your "newer" "version". is God's Word tenm and stop lying and just be honest and admit it is YOURS!
(Psalms 68:11)
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
(Matthew 6:24 [KJV])
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
(Luke 16:9 [KJV])
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
(Luke 16:11 [KJV])
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
(Luke 16:13 [KJV])
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
- Greeks no longer speak Koine Greek nor do Jews speak Old Testament Hebrew
- You cannot get a copyright unless you alter the text with at least ten percent differences
- At some point during the editing/paraphrasing process, you will run into your own errors being thrust upon any text to beat it into submission so you can get that copyright, because the law states that it must have a ten percent difference, something none of the scribes and translators cared about. They cared about accuracy, not money
- The newer "ver$ion$" contain all sorts of errors, omissions, additions, doctrinal, geographical, historical errors, cover to cover, not to mention blatant heresies
- God never really dealt much with "originals", only copies-of copies-of copies
(Exodus 13:17)
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
- God's Word is either 100% Holy or it is evil, deceitful, because the word "Holy" and "Almost Holy" are not the same, and there is no "almost" Holy when we speak of God, or else He is not God
- The Scriptures claim to be the Words of a Holy God, not of men, hundreds of times, so do a search for "the word of the LORD" and start counting.
(Genesis 15:1)
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
- God magnified His Word above His Name, and His Name is HOLY
(Psalms 138:2)
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
- English is the most spoken language on earth today, worldwide, even though more people speak Chinese. Because? They live mostly in China.
- The English of the King James Bible had already fallen out of use at that time and was as archaic then as now.
- That book of books is why we are here in America, why the Renaissance and Reformation came about as the result of that book alone.
- Since Westcott and Hort polluted the word of God, deliberately, there has not been a single lasting revival in America, and now we are in Laodicea
- We were never called to be "textual critics", nor were the Levite Scribes, any and all translators called by God who translated, preserved and copied those Scriptures
- The textual critics in God's Word were the serpent, Eve and the Corinthians
- A person who does not believe in perfect Scriptures in the KJV can never say which other "Bible" is the perfect, inerrant, infallible words of the Living God they claim to believe in
IF THE KJV CONTAINS ERRORS OR IS IMPERFECT, FALLEN FROM USE, WHY DON'T YOU JUST CORRECT IT ALL AND MAKE IT PERFECT FOR US, WITH NO COPYRIGHT?
- Important doctrines are removed, errors are introduced
- Yes, God can use the modern versons. God also used Balaam's ass. You can find pieces of hay in a pile of manure, but that does not make manure a good meal. You can find a piece of edible food in a trash can, but that does not make trash cans restaurants!!
(Numbers 22:28-30)
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
- There is only one true God, but there are also many false gods. There is one true Body of Christ, one True Church, made from and made up of true, born-again believers, yet there are many false churches. So why is it so wrong to teach that there is one true Bible, yet many false "bibles"? One Body, one Faith, one God, one Heavenly Father, one LORD, one God the Son, one Holy Spirit, one Church, one Word, one body, one Baptism, but 200 plus "versions"?
(Ephesians 4:4-6)
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
- No one on earth who speaks of "the originals" has ever seen one
- Which GREEK are we talking about when we say "the Greek"? Origen's? Or God's?
- There is no place in Scripture that says that the inventor/creator of languages cannot translate perfectly, that is a manmade concept only.
- The KJV is made from the MAJORITY text, worn out, ragged from use. The modern "versions" come from the minority, unused by God mss., Mostly the Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus texts, not to mention the deliberately corrupted text made to undermine belief in the Word of God, the Westcott and Hort Greek text
- God is not the author of confusion, and multiple, conflicting "ver$ion$" lead to that. Look at the Laodicean church today
Romans 10:17
So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1 Samuel 15:22-23
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
(1 Corinthians 14:33)
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
- 100 years ago, we argued over what it MEANT by what it SAID; now it is all about "WHAT IT IS!" How sad.
- Westcott and Hort were full blown, New Aged, occultic, pagan heretics into automatic writing, telekinesis, black magic, spiritism, ghosts, phantoms, associated with Madame Blavatsky, an occultist
- We are told to live by every word out of the mouth of God, but somehow we "do not any longer have them. Alas, they are lost."
ThE MISQUOTED VERSE: DEUTERONOMY 8:3
This verse in Deuteronomy chapter eight is recorded as being quoted back to the enemy tempting Jesus in the wilderness, as Israel was tempted in the wilderness. Except that, it is misquoted in the "modern" "versions", and it is literally a verse about how we are to live our lives, what we live by. Israel was told this when they hungered, the enemy used this against Jesus. People forget that the enemy uses quotes taken out of context, misquotes, omitted words and verses, added words and verses and even parts of words, parts of letters to change meanings and and deceive us. The result of this misquote is that, we are told how NOT to live, but not HOW to live then. In third wirld countries or in any case where a person on earth has access to only parts of the Bible, they do not get this less on how to live, which would be the next thing one would want to know.
(Deuteronomy 8:3 [KJV])
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
(Matthew 4:4 [KJV])
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
(Matthew 4:4 [NIV])
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[a]”
a. Matthew 4:4 Deut. 8:3
Notice it SAYS it is quoting Deuteronomy 8:3, but it us not. It is misquoting it.
(Luke 4:4 [KJV])
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
(Luke 4:4 [NIV])
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[a]”
a, Luke 4:4 Deut. 8:3
(Matthew 4:10 [KJV])
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
- It was translated into Modern English, not Middle English, not Olde English. If we do not understand it, that is our fault.
- "ye", "thee", "thou" were not even in use in the early 1600s; they were translated to be accurate, so we would not be confused, like all translations, so there is no confusion in communication
CLARITY? OR CONFUSION?
People listen to all sorts of false information today and one piece of false information that is so damaging is "you have to compare different versions of the Bible to understand the meaning!"
And people believe it, do it and that creates completely unnecessary confusion, strife, division and arguing in any group that meets. "But my NASB says this!!" "But my RSV reads this way!" "My Strong's concordance says that word is this!!" "But my lexicon says that this way!" "But I have a footnote that says that the Westcott and Hort reads this word!", "So that is translated wrong!!" "A pastor on the radio said this about that verse!" "It should be this word!" "But my pastor said that word means this!"
...in a never ending, dividing circle of fight.
God devoted an entire letter from Paul to Corinth on this division, strife, arguing:
1 Corinthians 3:1-7
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now substitute "I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos;" with "I like thwe way the ESV renders it as it is easier to read!" (false)
"But John Macarthur says that, In the original Greek, that wors is this and it means that!" (false, once again)
So, if a group of any size has ONE Word of God that they all read from, that IS the Truth in whole, not in part, and does not just contain it, but IS it, and all they have to do is read it together, then there is no argument or strife or division on what it says-IT IS GONE. Peace, harmony, unity at last.
Since God did the work in His Word for us of perfectly translating it out of the original tongues for us, we no longer need our carnal minds to decode what .the words are by consulting ten different sources of several types, and therefore what they mean. We have a Webster's dictionary, Webster being a believer who made it in 1828, and, if we read that King James Bible constantly, daily, over and over, we then understand the rich, simple language, which is the simplest English Bible there is, the Authorized Version..
2 Timothy 2:14
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
We also do not need our carnal minds to "strive not about words to no profit", because we all have the Sharp, two edged sword in our hands to "resist the devil" and that "steadfastly"
(John 3:7 [KJV])
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
There is a vast, universal, eternal difference between "ye" and "you", as Jesus told Nicodemus that "ye" must be born again, not "you", as "ye" means specifically "all of you, not just you, Nicodemus", which includes us (Gentiles), all of Israel, all of the world. Nicodemus is not the only one who needed and needs to get saved, but the false teaching of "you" here would not be accurate and introduce error, much welcomed by the unbelievers, occultists, etc.
- Small children raised on it understand it, kids 100 years ago understood it, foreigners have no problems. It take twelve years of American schools to dumb down a person to not understand it
- Going to two dead languages which you do not know , nor speak nor write nor understand to "understand" or "get clarity" is a lot more foolish silly than trying to understand something written in your own language, which has dictionaries for it and people to ask who do understand it
- There has never been even one single attempt to "update the archaic language of the KJV" as they claim needs to be done. Not one time.
- Only the number ONE is the number of unity...all others are not
- Only one IS the Word of God; the rest are imposters which CONTAIN the Word of God
- Not one person ever died to bring us the "modern" "ver$ion$", during any "purification process"; many died to give us the KJV
- If one inspects the lives, beliefs of all of the hereticks who tampered with the Scriptures, one finds that they were pagan unbelievers, Gpd haters who did not believe in the deity of Christ, the virgin birth, and all of the major doctrines of the New Testament that we believe as Christians, as in THE GOSPEL ITSELF!
- If one does due diligence, such as a side by side, verse by verse comparison, and does not walk away angry, they need to check their spiritual pulse. The MVs are dreadfully lacking and deeply corrupted
- God never said He would keep His "message", but every word, forever. If He did not, He failed us. He is not God.
(Matthew 5:18)
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
- The Word of God is not what "we prefer" or "we like", but it is what it is, despite us
- Oldest is not best....despite what we are told. Oldest is oldest, and unused. The best was worn out, used of God and man, and replaced
- Every word matters
(Luke 4:4)
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
- Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by that Word of God, not by spelling, punctuation, etc.
(Romans 10:17)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- Different words have different meanings
- Entire verses are missing, not just words
- Not until 1881 did anyone even question it, under Westcott and Hort, using inferior, minority mss, editing them to produce a false "bible" which fit their pet doctrines (occultic)
- God only spoke about scholars twice; and never in a good light
(Malachi 2:12)
The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
THE RICH HISTORY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE
- The first century saw intense persecution of Christians, where they caught them, killed them, maybe burned them at the stake but, for sure, burned their copies of the Scriptures
- With a feather pen and ink, it took most of a full year for the average person to copy a set of the books of the Word of God, very arduous
- People in all places on earth after the spread of Christianity, for 1,000 years, into all languages from the original languages, were translating them, without access to the other people's work.
- After this time, the persecution was abated in most places for a time, so copies of the books were then assembled for the only English translation, the King James Bible
- It needs to be said that these books were gathered from all over, with the originals worn out, replaced with many generations of exact copies coming together from Africa, Europe, Asia, etc to one place.
- At that time and, by that time, nearly 5,000 copies of the Word of God, in many, many earthly languages, all agreed with one another!
- In 1946, they discovered 24,00 more manuscripts underlying the King James Bible
OUR GOD, THE GOD OF RESURRECTION(S)
Think about this. Atheists, agnostics, all cults, etc. deny that Jesus is God, say also that the Resurrection never happened. To date, there has never been a single scientific discovery from any single discipline (Astronomy to Zoology) that can scientifically prove the Resurrection. No autopsy, no pieces of flesh for DNA, etc. Jesus died, was buried for three days, at around the time of the start decomposition. He rose from the dead, was seen,
(1 Corinthians 15:3-8 [KJV])
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Paul, the Pharisee, was last to see Jesus. Why him last? All of the other leaders in Jerusalem tried to cover it all up, had the soldiers make the tomb secure with a guard (three men by three men, all armed with spears, daggers, whatever they had) because Jesus told them He would rise three days later.
(Matthew 27:62-66 [KJV])
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
"IN DUE TIME..."
(Matthew 28:11-14 [KJV])
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
(Luke 1:2 [KJV])
Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
(2 Peter 1:16 [KJV])
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
How do we know that all of this happened and is true, truth? Because it was eyewitnessed, recorded by eyewitness, many of them, and now, by faith in the Scriptures. Do you think that the secular world wants anyone today to know this, even twenty centuries later? How aoubt "liberal" "scholars"? No way. But the God of the Resurrection preserved His Word for us and "IN DUE TIME", completely had it bound into one translation in English, other world languages, for us today> We live today. We have the Word of God today, or God lied and could not preserve it. Hiow much faith do we have? Do we need?
THE OPPOSITION, THE "MODERN" "VERSIONS"
(2 Corinthians 2:17 [KJV])
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
Jeremiah 48:10
Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
- Same time frame. starting in the first century
- Cults formed, Origen Adamantius being one main leader
- As the Word of God spread, as it was being copied, it was also being literally changed to meet the cults' desires by Origin, others, their disciples
- Words were removed that did not match their liking, words added, words changed-then they tried to pass it off as the real deal
- Enter two lines of manuscripts, to "Bibles"
- This would then be the "Alexandrian cult" people, in Egypt, a place God warned Israel repeatedly never to even look back to, absolutely never to return to, no matter what!
- Since these were not used by the actual Christians, they were preserved, not worn out and, when discovered, they were old
- Their names are Vaticanus (you guessed it, found in the Vatican library!), Codex Sinaiticus , of questionable origin with conflicting reports. , Alexandrinus (after Alexandria, Egypt). These three were translated into the Latin Vulgate, perfectly done, from something deliberately corrupted! That Latin Vulgate is a Roman Catholic book.
(Jeremiah 42:19 [KJV])
The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
As a threat for their sin, rebellion, like "Go ahead, keep thhis up. You keep doing this and I WILL bring you back where you will regret it!
(Deuteronomy 28:68 [KJV])
And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
- Fast forward to the 1881 Revision Committee
- This is a total of three complete manuscripts, with 46 fragments for the "modern" "versions", compared to 64,000 manuscripts, books, foreign translations, etc. underlying the King James Bible
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
EXAMPLES
- The word "Lucifer", the only instance, is removed from the "modern" "versions"
- The word "hell" is removed from the "modern" "versions" and replaced with two pagan words, "hades" and "sheol"

(Luke 4:4 [KJV])
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
(Luke 4:4 [KJV])
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone_____________.
- Luke 9:56 is removed from the "modern" "versions", Jesus explaining His mission to save us
- Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
The "modern" "versions" changed "virgin" tp "a young woman" and "a woman". Now stop and think about that. A woman having a child or a young woman having a child. So? That happens every day, all day and has for as long as man has been on earth, since Eve. Any woman can have a child who is not barren! But not a virgin, unless it is God doing a miracle! Miracle removed here in "modern" "versions"
The consequences of this tampering are:
- Mary was a fornicator;
- God has lied to us in Mat. 1:22-23;
- Christ was not God, not deity (having a physical father, He was only human); and
- Christ was a sinner as he would then be a descendant of Adam and inherit Adam's nature as in Romans 5:12.
- Colossians 1:14
"through his blood" is removed from the "modern" "versions"
- 1 Timothy 3:16
"God was manifest in the flesh" is changed to "He was manifest in the flesh" is in the "modern" "versions" (300 mss)
- Mark 1:2 quotes two prophets (Malachi and Isaiah), saying "as quoted in the prophets", but the "modern" "versions" changed that to "Isaiah the prophet" (8 corrupted mss)
- John 7:8 the word "yet" is removed is removed from the "modern" "versions"
- Acts 20:28 "purchased" ps changed to "obtained" is removed from the "modern" "versions"
- It must be understood that the "modern" "versions" use a small amount of deliberately corrupted mss. while the KJV uses the majority set of mss that existed in 1611 to today
- It must be understood and acknowledged that there must be deliberately corrupted mss on earth, since Genesis through the Word of God and until until today
- (Zechariah 9:9 [KJV])
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
(Zechariah 9:9 ([RSV])
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout aloud O daughter of JerusalI; behold, your King comes unto you; triumph and victorious is He; humble and riding on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass.
- Matthew 1:25 ([KJV])
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. (KJ)
Matthew 1:25 (NIV, NAS])
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
Same attack as above. A son is meaningless
if this is the Messiah fulfilling Isaiah 9:6. The KJV says "firstborn" son, not just "a son", which could be her second, third son, etc., which is all of the difference and destroys and removes the vrgin birth of Jesus Christ for no reason. Who would want that done? "yea, hath God said,,,,,?" I gear hissing!
- Joshua 5:14
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
- (Matthew 1:10 [KJV])
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
(Matthew 1:10 [ESV])
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,[a] and Amos the father of Josiah,
a. Matthew 1:10 Amos is probably an alternate spelling of Amon; some manuscripts Amon; twice in this verse
No, that is false! This was deliberately altered.
- (Proverbs 17:8 [KJV])
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
(Proverbs 17:8 [ESV])
A bribe is like a magic[a] stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.
A gift is not a bribe. Ever give or get a gift and then being accused of corruption? These two different sentences have completely different meanings.
A "magical stone"? What is this? The Harry Potter Bible?

(James 3:12 [KJV])
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

WHAAAAAAT??? Who said pond?

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
(Matthew 19:17 [KJV])
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
(Mark 9:43-44 [KJV])
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
MARK 1:2-3 17
(Mark 10:21 [KJV])
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

- 1 John 1:8-9 [KJV])
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
CLEANSE, v.t.
1. To purify; to make clean; to remove filth, or foul matter of any kind, or by any process whateve, as by washing, rubbing, scouring, scraping, purging, ventilation, etc.; as, to cleanse the hands or face to cleanse a garment; to cleanse the bowels; to cleanse a ship; to cleanse an infected house.
2. To free from a foul or infectious disease; to heal. Lev 14:4, 8; Mark 1:42.
3. To free from ceremonial pollution, and consecrate to a holy use. Num 8:15; Exek. 43:20.
4. To purify from guilt. 1 John 1:7.
5. To remove; as, to cleanse a crime.
Apparently, some of the "modern" "versions" have
"updated" the proper word cleanse to purify, in order to $$$$$ell bibles. That word in English had its first definition as purify. not to mention the context of the rest of Scripture which clearly tells us that we are purified. That need to "update the archaic language of that p;de wprd "cleanse" to "make it clearer, more accurate and more concise" is, like all that they do, a ;ie to $$ell is all that that is.
- If the publishers wanted to make GOD'S WORD (not theirs which is man's word) "more readable", "more clear" or "more understandable" or "more accurate" and everything else they make money on, then they need to LEAVE IT ALONE! If you claim it is GOD'S WORD and not your word, then remove your copyright on it, which goes against God's command to publish it!
(Psalms 68:11)
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
- "Oldest and best mss". This is such a massive lie. Oldest is oldest and the Word has been attacked since the Garden by the serpent, who tried to stop Jesus saving us from our sins. Oldest is merely oldest; we do not need any "new discoveries" as God is done with His Word and has been since 1611, being in one book, perfectly intact, translated into English that is at a low high school level, being from the correct materials
- So many more examples, a lot of homework for anyone who loves God's Word to do. Do you care enough to do that careful study?
THE BELOVED BIBLE HATERS AND CORRECTORS
In 185l, Mr. Hort wrote:
"I had no idea until the last few weeks of the importance of texts having read so little Greek Testament and dragged on with the villainous Textus Receptus. Think of that vile Textus Receptus leaning entirely on late manuscripts."

"The Scriptures are what we say they are, and they must include the "Apocrypha" and you must believe it has as much weight as God's Word-BECAUSE WE SAID SO!
THE APOCRYPHA
- Consists of 1 and 2 Esdras, the book of Tobit, the book of Judith, the "Rest" of Esther, the Wisdom of Solomon, the book of Sirach, (also titled Ecclesiasticus), the book of Baruch, The Letter of Jeremiah, Song of the Three Young Men, the book of Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, The Additions to Daniel, The Prayer of Manasseh, and 1 and 2 Maccabees
- It was rejected both by Christians and Jews as not Scripture
- It is not ever quoted in the New Testament. Other real Old Testament books are not always quoted either, but that is up to God, not us, and that does not make the Apocrypha Scripture, and means it is not part of the Canon of Scripture
- Josephus never even mentioned it, and the early Christian writers such as Origen, Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius, Jerome spoke out against the Apocrypha
- The errors in it are obvious:
- It only takes one, single, lonely error to disqualify the Apocrypha, whereas there are many
- The use of magic (Tobit 6:5-7)
- Forgiveness by works (Tobit 4:11, 12:9)
- Money for the sins of the dead, as in R.C.C. indulgences (2 Maccabees 12:43)
- Historical Error: Nebuchadnezzar was called the king of the Assyrians (Judith 1:5), but he was the king of the Babylonians
- Historical Error: The Jews would be in captivity seven generations (Baruch 6:2), not seventy years()
- This list does not include internal and external contradictions
Scripture/Christianity
The Scriptures
- Sixty six books, 40 authors, no Apocrypha, no Vaticanus, no Sinaiticus, no Alexandrian text or influence, no Septuagint (LXX), or extra added anything
- Translated in 1611 into English from other languages.
- No versions
- Only authorized translation
- Only one with a solid heritage
- Only one hated by R.C.C.
- Only one men gave their lives for, murdered by the R.C.C.
- The Apocrypha was indeed included in the first edition of the 1611 King James Bible, sandwiched between the testaments, but only for historical purposes of the 400 silent years, and it was not considered Scripture, was separated out and the people were told and knew that it was not the Scriptures
- It was removed because of protests later. A copy of the original 1611 with the Apocrypha is still available for purchase online at various places
(John Chapter 8:31-32 [KJV])
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
How can one "continue in His Word" if we are still tring to find it, restore it, correct it with "newer and better mss, oldest and best mss? We cannot.
THE BIBLE'S BIBLE CORRECTORS
(Genesis 3:1 [KJV])
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, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
(Genesis 3:3 [KJV])
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
This was not true and the woman was deceived by that serpent. God told Adam to dress and keep it, not "neither shall ye touch it". What God said is below, the one commandment Adam had:
(Genesis 2:17 [KJV])
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:15 [KJV])
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
(Genesis 3:4-5 [KJV])
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
(2 Corinthians 2:17 [KJV])
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
And until this day, this continues.....
ORIGEN
Literally, Origen HATED the Word of God and had occultic beliefs. In addition to his hexapola, he tampered with the New Testament, changing everything he needed to to destroy the Gospel he openly and brazenly rejected, Origen was a phi;osopjer who merely wanted to incorporate his pagan beliefs into Christianity, much like the Roman Catholics did later.
"Origen traveled extensively and everywhere he found a Greek New Testament, it was altered to fit his doctrine. "
-Elgin S. Moyer, Who Was Who in Church History, (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1962), p. 315; also see John H. P. Reumann, The Romance of Bible Scripts and Scholars, (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1965), pp. 98-103 for a more detailed account.
Origen's Beliefs
Origen believed in "soul sleep" wherein our souls "sleep" in the grave until we are the resurrected.
((2 Corinthians 5:8 [KJV])
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Origen believed in baptismal regeneration, as in the belief that one is saved by water baptism. This is a totally devilish, cruel lie that has bound billions in the Catholic religion from infancy., Origen is the first man discovered to date who was a stronly pushed this doctrine
Origen even believed in universal salvation, which is the ultimate reconciliation of all things including Satan and the devils to God, a lie from the pit of hell.
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was a god.
Literally the Jehovah's Witness Bible and the corrupted Greel texts underlying the modern versions use this sa,e false Greek and one versions has it in there listed this way.
That God the Father only was God with a capital "G" and Jesus was God with a little "g" - that Jesus was only a created being. Thus, Origen was not Christian in the most basic of all doctrine, namely the person of the Lord Jesus the Christ;
Origen believed that, in order to become sinless, one had to go to "purgatory" . This doctrine is nowhere to be found in Scripture; however, it is funny that the word "hell" which spoke of so very many times gas been changed to "sheol" and "hades" to weaken it, both being pagan ideas, beliefs, teachings.
Origen believed in transubstantiation (that at communion the bread and wine actually turn to the body and blood of Christ); and this was later adopted by the Roman Catholic system.
Origen believed in the "transmigration" and "reincarnation" of the soul..The physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus corrects thus lie because Jesus Christ was resurrected and was raised back to life as the same Jesus Christ in a Glorified body, but the same Jesus Chris in the same bodt with the wounds as sacrs in the same hands and feet and side.
Hebrews 9:27 ([KJV])
And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
Thus the Bible teaches there is no such thing as "reincarnation", a false, Hindu belief.
Origen refused to concede that any intelligent person could believe that the temptations of Jesus as recorded in the Scriptures were literal and that t hey really, actually occurred. Origen even went on to even correct Jesus, for in Matthew 13:38 in the parable of the sower Jesus says that the field is the world (Mat.13:34). Origen said "the field was Jesus." Later, he changed his mind, deciding that the field was the Scriptures.
-Which Version is the Bible?, Dr. Floyf Nolen Jones, p. 62.
Origen believed in transubstantiation (that at communion the bread and wine actually turn to the body and blood of Christ), like the Catholics do today.
(1 Timothy 2:14 [KJV])
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
THE PERFECT EXAMPLE: ROMANS 1
Read carefully, pay close attention to all details and think about any "updating of archaic language"
- Romans 1:1
- KJV
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
- NIV
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—
- ISSUE
Jesus Christ is not an archaic term, so changing the order was unnecessary. Separated is not an archaic word and to then make it two words when it was one understandable one is evil.
- Romans 1:2
- KJV
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
- NIV
the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
- ISSUE
Using "afore" which is two syllables versus "beforehand" which is three is a practice throughout the Scriptures when they mess with it. The correctors often even use a harder to understand word to change it to and the KJV is also at a lower grade level English than the "modern" "versions"
- Romans 1:3
- KJV
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
- NIV
regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life[a] was a descendant of David,
a. Romans 1:3 Or who according to the flesh
- ISSUE
Once again we see deliberate changing of wording.
The entire Gospel message from the Fall to the end of Revelation is about the flesh of mankind now being evil and in need of redemption, animal flesh sacrifices which started right there at the fall with the LORD Himself making coats of skins for Adam and Eve. "In the flesh" means that He was made in the image of our sinful flesh:
Another thing is that God used the word "seed" from Abraham on to describe descendants. The word "descendant" never appears in the KJV, only the word "seed" over and over, cover to cover-even before the Fall into sin!
THE SEEDS
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(Romans 8:3 [KJV])
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
- Romans 1:4
- KJV
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
- NIV
and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power[b] by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
b. Romans 1:4 Or was declared with power to be the Son of God
"Declared" is not an archaic word at all. Neither is the word "with" as in "with power", so there was no need to change that to "in power"
- ISSUE
b. "Or was declared with power to be the Son of God"
Declared is not an archaic word at all. Neither is the word "with" as in "with power", so there was no need to change that to "in power"
- Romans 1:5
- KJV
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
- NIV
Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from[c] faith for his name’s sake.
c. Romans 1:5 Or that is
- ISSUE
"By" is not an archaic word and therefore there was no need to change that to "through". "By" and "through", no reason for change, and it is a smaller word with the same meaning turned into the same meaning with more letters, for what?
"By whom" in English refers to the subject being spoken of previously and is in no way "archaic", meaning no need to replace it with "Through him". "By" changed to "through" and "whom" changed to "him", inexcusable.
Now look at the rest and ask yourself. Since both do not say the same thing,
- There is no final authority, leaving that to the reader, not to God Who wrote His Word using mankind through prophets, men, and via angels.
- It is not word for word translation, as all translation is done correctly. but changing the text to $$$$ell
- The obedience in the KJV is for us; in the corrupted bibles it is for the Gentiles. Not the same words. They first have to get saved first in order to obey. Not one of the three words God used here are archaic, as in "among" "all" "nations". In fact. Israel is one of the nations and Paul was a Jewish apostle to those Gentile nations, including first his own who rejected him
(Acts 13:46 [KJV])
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
