Comparing the KJV and the NKJV

Ed Lueck 12/17/21

YOU SAY THAT ALL BIBLES ARE THE SAME! REALLY?LET’S COMPARE TWO VERY SIMILAR VERSIONS, THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE (NKJV) AND THE KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE (KJV) AND SEE SOME AREAS WHERE DIFFERENCES DO OCCUR!The NKJV translation used the Alexandrian Manuscripts in order to find more direct information as to the meaning of the original words. This translation was (supposedly) created in order to reflect better readability. In other words, the main marketing ploy of the New King James Version was that the translators updated the archaic words from the King James Bible (AV1611). This is so far from the truth its actually deceptive and criminal!The Alexandrian text perverts God’s Holy Word! This is why the translators of the KJV Bible rejected the Alexandrian Text when converting the Greek, Hebrew, and Latin to English text.The King James Bible in its entirety came from the Textus Receipts, with NO portion coming from the corrupt Alexandrian Manuscript!Michael Pedigo wrote this brilliant article comparing these two different Bibles!”The King James Bible was translated from the Antiochian (Where Christians were first called Christians) line of manuscripts (study this manuscript evidence as it will open your eyes). The King James Bible is in the public domain and free to faithfully copy, print, and distribute. Read and study the King James Bible and ask God for Holy Spirit illumination and understanding, and you will have no problem with the modern English that the King James Bible uses. The King James Bible was written at the 6th grade reading level; whereas modern versions including the New King James Version end up at a higher reading level. Also the King James Bible has far more single syllable words than modern versions including the New King James Version. So have we truly been told the truth or just parrot what the publishers say, and don’t really know because we never have read it and studied it for ourselves to know?The New King James Bible was commissioned by Thomas Nelson Publishers in 1975. They used Alexandrian texts to pollute God’s word. This has served to enrich Thomas Nelson Publishers. The New King James Bible is under copyright; therefore royalties are required to quote (above copyright provisions) or reproduce the new version. At best the New King James Version was unnecessary, and at worse has served to alter the doctrines of the Bible and cause confusion and division among God’s people.”Let’s see some differences starting with the FIRST verse of each Bible!KJV, Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth.”NKJV, Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.”Just one letter difference, but if you CONSIDER that difference you change the order of creation as to FIRSTLY creating ONLY the earth and the heaven (atmosphere) surrounding the earth. Heat and light were supplied by God himself. So you have God, the earth, and its surrounding atmosphere, the first heaven! Isaiah 66:1a “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool…”Acts 7:49a “Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool…”But the NKJV Bible says, “…heavens and earth.” indicating that not only did God initially create the earth and its heaven, but that He also initially created the sun, moon, and stars included in the SECOND heaven!Looking at the FIRST verse of any Bible is a good measuring stick for its reliability! (None are as honest and pure as the King James Version Bible!) QUORA provides this additional information comparing the NKJV and the KJV Bible.”What are the main differences between the NKJV and KJV versions of the Bible?The main marketing ploy of the New King James Version was that the translators updated the the archaic words from the King James Bible (AV1611). This is so far from the truth its actually criminal and deceptive.Here are some basic facts about the NKJV but there is a lot more to say.NKJV omits, “Lord” 66 times, “God” 51 times, “heaven” 50 times, “repent” 44 times, “blood” 23 times, “hell” 22 times, “JEHOVAH” entirely, “damnation” entirely, and “devils” entirely.NKJV replaced the KJB Hebrew with the corrupt Stuttgart Old Testament.NKJV ignored the KJB Textus Receptus over 1200 times.Also, Thomas Nelson Publishers was bought out by purveyor of erotica, Rupert Murdock, owner of News Corporation and its subsiduary, HarperCollins, publisher of the Satanic Bible.Stay away from of ALL modern versions because they are not what they claim to be.The authorized KJB is the only English bible that is trustworthy today.”My challenge to you is this. Would you rather drink a very small amount of clear (tasteless and odorless) poison in your drinking water (with the NKJV) or a glassful of poison with the NIV, ESV, or most other New Age Bibles?THINK ABOUT THIS!If the devil could mess with the Christian’s life, which part would he be most interested in violating, perverting, and corrupting?The Christian’s plan and rule book, the Holy King James Bible!I choose the Pure, Holy King James Version of the Bible!To sum up here’s a statement written by Frank Schlernitlaver at the QUORA site:”The KJV is of the Received Text line. All the modern versions are of the corrupted Alexandrian text source line and can not be trusted. All you need understand is take whatever your favorite modern version is and compare it verse by verse with the KJV.”Earnestly ask God to reveal which Bible represents Truth!John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”Psalms 12:6-7 “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”Finally, either God is a liar, or He’s a truth promoter!Here are some references about those who pervert, add to, or subtract from God’s word!Deuteronomy 4:2.Deuteronomy 12:32.Proverbs 30:6.Revelation 22:18-19.Each of these is a warning about changing God’s Holy King James Version Bible, the plagues the violaters will experience, and their future of burning in darkness forever! (Let me quote the Revelation passage for you!)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: 19. 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.”
