Why We Use the King James Bible God wrote the Bible to teach us how to be saved (Jn. 3:16-17) so that we can enjoy the Fruit of the Spirit in this life (Gal. 5:22, Eph. 5:9), win the lost, and live forever in Heaven with Him in the next life. Satan confused Eve by asking “hath God said (Gen. 3:1)” and tries to corrupt our minds from the “simplicity that is in Christ (2 Cor. 11:3).” We must use a Bible that properly explains the mind of God.John 3:18 tells us that we are condemned if we do not believe on Jesus, the only begotten Son of God. We must believe that Jesus was born and lived as a perfect, sinless man who was God in the flesh. 2 Corinthians 5:21 teaches that Jesus suffered the punishment for all sins every person ever committed or would commit. Hebrews 9:22 teaches that sin cannot be paid for or be forgiven without shedding blood. We teach that Jesus, who was God in the flesh, died on the cross to shed His perfect blood to wash away our sins.God required a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins. The Law of Moses required sacrificing healthy, valuable animals. Malachi 1:8 tells of God’s anger at being offered inferior animals. 1 Peter 1:19-21 explains that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. He lived a sinless life which fulfilled Moses’ law (Mt. 5:18, Luke 21:32). An imperfect Jesus could not pay the penalty for our sins.Christians need a Bible that declares that Jesus was both man and God in the flesh and became the perfect sacrifice to pay the price for all our sins as the KJV does. Other versions come from a different Greek manuscript, but we needn’t study manuscripts to see whether a version teaches a perfect Jesus who was God in the flesh and whose perfect blood was shed to wash away our sins.The RSV, ESV, and NASB read “their purification… ( Lk. 2:22)” because the corrupt Greek from which they were translated uses the third person plural male pronoun which refers to Jesus and Joseph. This makes no sense: Moses’ Law says that a mother needs purification after giving birth, not the baby or the father. What’s worse, a Jesus who needed purification could not be a perfect sacrifice and His imperfect blood could not save anyone. These versions teach “another Jesus (2 Cor. 11:4)” who cannot save.The NIV dodges the gender issue, “When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses…” That is not translation; it’s a dodge to avoid an error in the manuscript.We also see the substitution of hos (he) for theos (God) in Paul’s letter to Timothy:And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God (theos) 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. I Timothy 3:16The NIV, ESV, NASB, and the RSV refer to “he (hos)” being manifest or revealed in the flesh instead of God. A man being seen in the flesh is no mystery – anyone born of woman is manifest or revealed or seen in the flesh. The mystery is God appearing in the flesh.Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. I John 4:1-3Newer versions do not teach that God came in the flesh. Books which weaken the doctrine of God-ordained salvation through a perfect sacrifice as condemned in Revelation 22:19 are not of God.These versions teach an imperfect Jesus who was not God in the flesh and cannot save! That’s heresy.Those who say that only a few passages are changed and there is evidence for Jesus’ perfection in other places must consider Satan’s devices (2 Cor. 2:11). Newer versions must make enough changes to get a copyright so the gospel becomes weaker and weaker. Satan can’t destroy the Word of God but he has a long-term plan to grow so many weeds and so much confusion around it that few will find it.
