Top Contributor  \u00b7 21h<\/strong><\/a>  \u00b7 Can anyone doubt that if just 1% of the time that it took to make all of the new versions had been spent on educating people as to the nuances of the King James Bible, there would be a lot more knowledge of God in the English Speaking World? <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Bill Taylor<\/a> You have put your finger on why Satan didn’t want to do that. There are, after all, only two sides: Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Luke 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Satan isn\u2019t able to destroy the Word of God, but he can bring about so many different versions that it\u2019s hard for people to find the true Word. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. I Corinthians 14:33 God is not the author of confusion, so we know that this confusion cannot be of God. There are only two sides, so we know where the confusion originated.https:\/\/successful-marriage.blogspot.com\/…\/why-we-use…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


DISAGREEMENT <\/a>BETWEEN VERSIONS CAUSES CONFUSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A friend needed a new Bible.  He described his shopping experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An entire wall was dedicated to the sale of Bibles.  Impressed, I headed to that section.  This should be quick and easy, <\/em>I thought, but I became quite confused.  Some of the Bibles I saw were The Voice Bible (2012), <\/em>the Tree of Life Bible (2014), Third Millennium Bible (1998), Today\u2019s New International Version (2005), The Holy Bible: The International Version (2017), The Story Bible (1971), Simple English Bible (1980), The Scriptures (revised 2009), Revised English Bible (1989), Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition (2006), Revised Standard Version (1952), New Revised Standard Version (1989), Revised New Jerusalem Bible, (2019), New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (2013 Revised), New Living Translation (1966), New King James Version (1982), King James Version (1611, 1769), New International Version (2011), New International Version Inclusive Language Edition (1996), English Standard Version (2016), New American Standard Bible (2020), The Message (2002), The Living Bible (1971) Good News Bible (1976) . . .<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selections went on and on!  How am I ever going to choose?  Is there a Bible right for me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are large Bibles, small Bibles, pocket-sized Bibles, partial Bibles, large-print Bibles, interlinear Bibles, study Bibles, Bibles bearing people\u2019s or ministry names . . .  Wow! Trying to select one was not<\/em> going to be easy.  As a matter-of-fact, it was overwhelming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say the KJB is hard to understand because of outdated language.  I selected some passages in a few translations to see which was easiest to understand.  I was surprised at what I read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 10:5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>His ways are always grievous<\/strong>; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV: <\/em>His ways prosper at all times<\/strong>; your judgments are on high, out of his sight as for all his foes, he puffs at them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NASB:  <\/em>His ways prosper at all times<\/strong>; Thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:<\/em> His ways are always prosperous<\/strong>; he is haughty, and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NKJB:  <\/em>His ways are always prospering<\/strong>; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is interesting.  The KJB (which has been around for about 400 years) seems to be out of step with these more modern translations\u2014at least that is what some writers claim.  I compared a few other passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecclesiastes 8:10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten<\/strong> in the city where they had so done: this is<\/em> also vanity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV:  <\/em>Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised<\/strong> in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ASV:  <\/em>So I saw the wicked buried, and they came to the grave<\/em>; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten<\/strong> in the city: this also is vanity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:  <\/em>Then too, I saw the wicked buried\u2014those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise<\/strong> in the city where they did this.  This too is meaningless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Two versions say that the wicked<\/em> were forgotten <\/em>in the city and two say they were praised.  <\/em>Being forgotten <\/em>and being praised <\/em>are different concepts.  They don\u2019t mean the same thing.  Which did God say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 9:3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>Thou hast multiplied the nation, and<\/em> not increased the joy<\/strong>: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and<\/em> as men<\/em> rejoice when they divide the spoil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV:  <\/em>You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy<\/strong>; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ASV:  <\/em>    Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy<\/strong>: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:  <\/em>You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy<\/strong>; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, when men rejoice when dividing the plunder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The KJB is out of step.  It says their joy was not increased and the others say that joy was increased. This reminds me of a book title by Dr. Mickey P. Carter, Things that are Different are not the Same.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colossians 2:18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen<\/strong>, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV:  <\/em>Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions<\/strong>, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ASV:  <\/em>Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen<\/strong>, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:  <\/em>Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worshipping of angels disqualify you for the prize.  Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen<\/strong>, and his unscriptural mind puffs him up with idle notions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Two versions talk about what they have seen.  One states that they intrude into those things which they have not seen.  And one states . . . well it implies having seen.  Which one has the correct wording?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosea 11:12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV:  <\/em>Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit, but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ASV:  <\/em>Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:  <\/em>Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the House of Israel with deceit, and Judah is unruly against God.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Three versions say that Judah ruled with God and was faithful to God, one version says the opposite!  How can this be?  Are not these supposed to be from the same Bible?  Do they not all claim to be the Word of God?  Shouldn\u2019t we find the same ideas in all the versions?  Let\u2019s try one more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 18:24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KJB:  <\/em>A man that hath<\/em> friends must shew himself friendly<\/strong>: and there is a friend that<\/em> sticketh closer than a brother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ESV:  <\/em>A man of many companions may come to ruin<\/strong>, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ASV:  <\/em>He that maketh many friends doeth it<\/em> to his own destruction<\/strong>; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

NIV:  <\/em>A man of many companions may come to ruin<\/strong>, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Two say may come to ruin<\/em>.  One says a man will cause his destruction if he makes many friends.  These concepts are not the same.  One version doesn\u2019t mention destruction\u2014it says that one must show himself friendly to have friends.  These are three different concepts.  Which is from God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we to study an armful of bibles, compare every verse, and choose one we feel <\/em>is the correct one?  Are we to choose one that we believe is right for us but may not be right for someone else?  How confusing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unsaved laugh Christians to scorn.  I can hear their complaint: Christians can\u2019t agree on what their so-called authority (the Bible) says.  How can we believe anything they say?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.  I Corinthians 14:33<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Widespread confusion identifies the author of the newer versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.  Matthew 12:30<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.  Luke 11:23<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There are only two sides, God\u2019s and Satan\u2019s.  The KJB was relied on for 400 years, then confusion about God\u2019s Word came through many versions.  Confusion is not of God; non-KJB versions should be avoided.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONFUSION IN THE CHURCH<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having so many versions lets each one decide what God must have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe concept of dogmatic interpretation (one Bible read and honored by everyone) and preaching has been greatly reduced because of this damnable principle.  In a typical Bible study in a church that has bought into eclecticism every individual is an authority unto him or herself as to what Greek manuscript or Greek text or English translation to follow in any given instance.  There is no dogmatic authority for any statement, because someone can always come up with an alternative reading.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This same principle has greatly weakened the authority of Bible preaching.  I recall a visit in August 2003 to Saddleback Church in southern California, where Rick Warren of \u201cPurpose Driven Church\u201d fame is senior pastor.  I observed on the way into the auditorium that only a few people carried Bibles, and the reason became clear when I saw the bewildering multiplicity of versions that were used in the preaching.  An outline of the sermon was handed out with the bulletin, and six of seven versions were quoted, most of them loose paraphrases or dynamic equivalences such as the Living Bible, the New Living Translation, The Message, Today\u2019s English Version, and the Contemporary English Version.  It would have been impossible to have followed along in one\u2019s Bible.  The result is that people do not bring their own Bibles and do not therefore carefully test the preaching<\/strong>.\u201d[57]<\/a> [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

God expects His people to study the scriptures and make sure that what is being preached is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Acts 17:11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no reason to search scripture unless we agree what it says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Christians Need an Accurate Bible<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The question of which Bible Christians should trust has been open since the 1880s.  Modernists say that older manuscripts give a better idea of what God really<\/em> said but errors and heresies in newer \u201cbible\u201d versions show that these oldest manuscripts are not<\/em> the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can be saved from reading newer versions as they can be saved by gospel tracts or conversations, the problem is spiritual growth.  As Christians leave milk and move on to strong meat (Heb. 5:12-14[58]<\/a>), accurate Scripture becomes more and more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satan and his servants lie to confuse us (Jn. 8:44[59]<\/a>).  Satan asked Eve, \u201chath God said (Gen. 3:1[60]<\/a>)?\u201d to cast doubt on God\u2019s Word.  The very first<\/em> of Satan\u2019s temptations questioned the Word of God.  Satan has tried to confuse people about what God really<\/em> said ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satan\u2019s servants deny that Jesus is<\/em> God and has always been God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32<\/sup>Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33<\/sup>The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  John 10:31-33<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing versions with the KJB shows that modern versions weaken or omit many passages declaring Jesus\u2019 divinity and perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE GOAL OF THE WORK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The translators labored mightily to give \u201cscripture\u201d to ordinary people.  The Bible tells what scripture is<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16<\/sup>All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  II Timothy 3:15-16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timothy didn\u2019t have the original Bible writings; he had copies of copies of copies.  Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote that the copies Timothy had were inspired of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hebrew Old Testament was available to Timothy; we don\u2019t know whether he had a Greek translation.  Today\u2019s Septuagint Greek OT translated from Hebrew was not given by inspiration because when Paul quoted the OT, his inspired words don\u2019t always match our Septuagint.  The KJB Translators\u2019 discussion of the Septuagint<\/a> is on page 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King James wasn\u2019t a new translation from Hebrew and Greek.  As explained in \u201cEnglish Bibles Before the KJB<\/a>\u201c on page 57, the translators used material from earlier Bibles in English, Syriac, and many other languages.  They called themselves \u201ctranslators,\u201d but did more compiling, editing, and checking against earlier Bibles than translating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE <\/a>MISUNDERSTANDING BEHIND THE CONTROVERSY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The King James New Testament is widely thought to have been translated straight from a single Greek manuscript called the Textus Receptus<\/em> (TR).  Modernists say that versions translated from the Codex Sinaiticus<\/em> and Vaticanus<\/em> manuscripts are better because these Alexandrian manuscripts are older.  This misrepresents the many sources behind the KJB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The translators used many TR manuscripts as well as other sources.  Because of this, the KJB is, in effect, another version of the TR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe King James Version is a variety of the Textus Receptus<\/em>. The translators that produced the King James Version relied mainly, it seems, on the later editions of Beza’s Greek New Testament, especially his 4th edition (1588-9). But also they frequently consulted the editions of Erasmus and Stephanus and the Complutensian Polyglot. According to Scrivener (1884), out of the 252 passages[61]<\/a> in which these sources differ sufficiently to affect the English rendering, the King James Version agrees with Beza against Stephanus 113 times, with Stephanus against Beza 59 times, and 80 times with Erasmus, or the Complutensian, or the Latin Vulgate against Beza and Stephanus. HENCE THE KING JAMES VERSION OUGHT TO BE REGARDED NOT MERELY AS A TRANSLATION OF THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS BUT ALSO AS AN INDEPENDENT VARIETY OF THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS<\/strong>….\u201d
\u201cBUT WHAT DO WE DO IN THESE FEW PLACES IN WHICH THE SEVERAL EDITIONS OF THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS DISAGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER? WHICH TEXT DO WE FOLLOW? THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS EASY. WE ARE GUIDED BY THE COMMON FAITH[62]<\/a>. HENCE WE FAVOR THAT FORM OF THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS UPON WHICH MORE THAN ANY OTHER GOD, WORKING PROVIDENTIALLY, HAS PLACED THE STAMP OF HIS APPROVAL, NAMELY, THE KING JAMES VERSION, OR, MORE PRECISELY, THE GREEK TEXT UNDERLYING THE KING JAMES VERSION.
This text[63]<\/a> was published in 1881 by the Cambridge University Press under the editorship of Dr. Scrivener, and there have been eight reprints, the latest being in 1949 [Note: It has since been republished by the Trinitarian Bible Society of London, England, and the Dean Burgon Society of Collingswood, New Jersey.] We ought to be grateful that in the providence of God the best form of the Textus Receptus<\/em> is still available to believing Bible students.\u201d[64]<\/a> [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although the TR was their main source, the translators drew on other documents to verify their work.  The Translators to the Reader<\/em><\/a> on page 79 explains that they edited and revised their work over and over, testing, praying, and comparing it with earlier Bibles as long as the Holy Spirit led them to continue.  This took so long that they had to defend themselves against criticism for taking longer than the Septuagint<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 the worke hath not bene hudled up in 72. dayes, but hath cost the workemen, as light as it seemeth, the paines of twise seven times seventie two dayes and more: matters of such weight and consequence are to bee speeded with maturitie: for in a businesse of moment a man feareth not the blame of convenient slacknesse. Neither did wee thinke much to consult the Translators or Commentators, Chaldee, Hebrewe, Syrian, Greeke, or Latine, no nor the Spanish, French, Italian, or Dutch; neither did we disdaine to revise that which we had done,<\/strong> and to bring backe to the anvill that which we had hammered<\/strong>: but having and using as great helpes as were needfull, and fearing no reproch for slownesse, nor coveting praise for expedition, wee have at the length, through the good hand of the Lord upon us<\/strong>, brought the worke to that passe that you see.  [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They changed earlier Bibles<\/a> only \u201cto make a good thing better\u201d as shown on page 57.  The list of phrases<\/a> from earlier Bibles on page 58 shows how the KJB drew on earlier Bibles: \u201cThey followed Tyndale in 85% of their work.\u201d[65]<\/a>  The translators dealt with variant readings by checking against Bibles in other languages including Dutch, Chaldee, Latin, Syrian, and many others in addition to earlier English Bibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KJB NT comes from the same pure stream as the originals.  It flows through the Waldensians, the Old Latin, the Peshitta, the TR, Luther’s German Bible, Tyndale, and may other sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translating either the Codex Sinaiticus<\/em> or Vaticanus<\/em> without cross-checking with earlier Bibles makes modern versions far less reliable than the KJB without even considering the weaknesses<\/a> in those manuscripts which are discussed on page 54.  This misunderstanding lets modernists say that \u201coldest is best\u201d and \u201cshortest is best\u201d to justify translations done without checking against the many earlier Bibles which support the KJB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D<\/a>ENYING DIVINE PRESERVATION AND INSPIRATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Westcott and Hort, who led the wave of new \u201cbible\u201d versions by promoting corrupt manuscripts, were honest about their unbelief:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn matters of textual criticism, the Bible is to be treated like any other ancient book<\/strong>.  No special considerations are to be made concerning its claims of inspiration or preservation<\/strong>.\u201d[66]<\/a> [Emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Modernists say the Codex Sinaiticus<\/em> and Vaticanus<\/em> were hidden in the 4th<\/sup> century and \u201crecovered\u201d in the 19th<\/sup>.  Those who favor them admit that they\u2019re filled with crossouts and disagree with each other<\/a> 3,036 times in the gospels alone as described on page 54.  They are older than the Textus Receptus<\/em> (TR) manuscript which contributed to the KJB, however, so translations of them are said to be \u201cbetter\u201d than the KJB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The essential doctrine of continuous, unbroken Preservation of Inspired Scripture was given up in the 1880s even though Westcott and Hort told the truth<\/em> about their unbelief!  Scholars (2 Tim. 3:5-7[67]<\/a>) deny divine inspiration and divine preservation of Scripture.  New versions throw doubt on Jesus\u2019 sinless perfection<\/a> (page 2) and suggest that His imperfect blood<\/a> (page 3) can\u2019t pay the price for our sins.  Corrupt versions describe \u201canother Jesus (2 Cor. 11:4[68]<\/a>)\u201d who can\u2019t save anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s many promises to preserve His word<\/a> to every generation on page 36 show that manuscripts that were hidden cannot<\/em> be the pure Word of God (Ps. 12:6[69]<\/a>).  Modernists seem to believe that God lied<\/em> when He promised to preserve His Word generation by generation forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s name is important to Him (Ex. 20:7[70]<\/a>, De. 5:11[71]<\/a>) but His word is even more important<\/em>: \u201cthou hast magnified thy word above all thy name (Ps. 138:2).\u201d  Jesus\u2019 Words will judge us on how we follow His Word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48<\/sup>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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  John 12:47-48<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must study what Jesus really<\/em> said to believe it and obey it as God expects.  How else can we earn the rewards God promises to us (2 Cor. 5:10[72]<\/a>)?  How can we believe that God was powerful enough to inspire men to write His Words but not powerful enough to preserve them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must choose<\/em> to believe what He<\/em> said about His Word (Heb. 3:12[73]<\/a>).  Will He find faith on earth when He comes back (Lk. 18:8b[74]<\/a>)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE <\/a>SPIRITUAL HISTORY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tyrannical rulers hate God\u2019s command that everyone, including rulers and leaders, must obey the laws of God (Acts 4:18-19[75]<\/a>, 10:34[76]<\/a>).  John Wycliffe led a Bible translation from Latin to English around 1380.  The Pope was so angry that Wycliffe had made the Bible available to people outside his ecclesiastical hierarchy that 44 years after Wycliffe died, he ordered the bones to be dug-up, crushed, and scattered in the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coverdale New Testament was published in 1526.  His was the first English Bible to rely on Greek and Hebrew texts; Tyndale had used the Latin Bible.  He also published parts of the Old Testament.  His work was much more challenging to the authorities because advances in printing made his Bible much cheaper and more people could buy it, read it, and wonder why their rulers weren\u2019t obeying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1600s, a group of learned and God-fearing scholars sought the leading of God to produce an English Bible to spread the very words of God.  They called it the King James Bible (KJB) in honor of the administration that funded and promoted their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their decisions were based on serious prayer and contemplation.  Believing that the KJB contains the literal Words of God is a step of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also judge by the fruits (Mt. 7:15-20[77]<\/a>).  From 1611 to 1900, the KJB led to the evangelization of the entire world, whereas a falling away from churches came after the newer versions were introduced.  This is convincing evidence for the KJB being the quick and powerful Word of God and a condemnation of newer versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY <\/a>THEY RISKED THEIR LIVES FOR THE \u201cVULGAR TONGUE\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Word of God was put in the \u201cvulgar tongue\u201d so ordinary people could read it.  The New Testament manuscripts were inspired in koine<\/em> Greek, the language of the common people.  A person\u2019s social status is generally shown by their pronunciation and by the words they use (Jud. 12:5-6[78]<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Acts 4:13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter and John hadn\u2019t been taught by rabbis.  The way they spoke showed lack of scholarship, but their boldness astounded the rulers.  The KJB team risked their lives to produce a translation to let anyone who studied faithfully spread the Word of God with the same boldness without having spent years following Jesus as Peter and John had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erasmus, whose version of the TR went through three editions, wrote in the preface to his Greek New Testament: \u201cI would to God that the plowman would sing a text of the Scripture at his plow and that the weaver would hum them to the tune of his shuttle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some words in the KJB sound strange because the English language has changed since 1611.  The words of the KJB were chosen based on what they meant in 1611.  Critics have suggested that the translators misused Baptize<\/a>, Easter<\/a>, and Lucifer<\/a>, but historical use shows otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editors of the Oxford English Dictionary wanted \u201cto present in alphabetical series the words that have formed the English vocabulary from the time of the earliest records down to the present day, with all the relevant facts concerning their form, sense-history, and etymology.\u201d  Definitions are confirmed with about 2,400,000 dated quotations arranged in order of historical occurrence.  The OED shows that these words were translated correctly given the English language of 1611.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The translators also sought to produce a work which would endure for the ages.  The long list of KJB phrases which have passed into common English use<\/a> on page 58 shows how well they succeeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WENT WRONG<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 1880s, the \u201cEnlightenment\u201d damaged men\u2019s thinking about God, creation, salvation, and much else.  Unbelieving men and women worked to tear down belief in God and the belief that He had transmitted His exact thoughts in the KJB.  Unbelieving modernists argued that older, shorter manuscripts without checking against other sources would give us a better idea what God \u201cmight\u201d have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the men who originated \u201ctextual criticism,\u201d \u201chigher criticism,\u201d and \u201credaction criticism\u201d of the Bible were not Christians and many showed anti-Christian views.  The worship of academic scholars had begun to overtake the worship of God.  This led to the hundreds of Bible versions and confusion<\/a> about what God said that confuse the world.  Page 12 discusses obvious errors<\/a> in newer versions to show that the older manuscripts and versions based on them are not<\/em> the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling the KJB a \u201cversion\u201d lumps it in with modern versions which are based on manuscripts which are full of errors<\/a> as described on page 54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heretics\u2019 Goal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Most changes between the KJB and modern versions weaken or undermine the fact that Jesus was both God and man.  This is not a new heresy.  Throughout His ministry, unbelievers denied His divinity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32<\/sup>Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33<\/sup>The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  John 10:31-33<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23<\/sup>And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24<\/sup>But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Matthew 12:22-24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

s. 48<\/sup>If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.  John 11:47-48<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewish leaders saw Jesus\u2019 miracles the Old Testament had predicted, but they destroyed Him to keep their power and positions in society.  \u201cScholars\u201d who deny His divinity by promoting corrupted manuscripts prefer the praise of fellow scholars to serving Christ (Jn. 12:43[79]<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Martyr, who lived from around 100 to 165 AD, was an early Christian apologist.  He became a Christian around 132 and proclaimed Christianity in the hope of converting pagans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJustin was denounced to the Roman prefect as subversive and condemned to death with six companions. Authentic records of his martyrdom, by beheading, survive<\/a>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Dialogue with Trypho is a discussion in which Justin tries to prove the truth of Christianity to a learned Jew named Trypho. [80]<\/a>\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As Christianity spread after Jesus\u2019 resurrection, Jewish scholars like Trypho reinterpreted parts of the Old Testament to weaken prophecies about His virgin birth.  Justin opposed this and defended the Septuagint (LXX) Greek translation against the corrupted Masoretic Hebrew text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Martyr, in his \u201cDialogue with Trypho\u201d (ca. 150 AD), states, \u201cI am far from putting reliance in your teachers, who refuse to admit that the interpretation made by the seventy elders [the Septuagint] who were with Ptolemy [king] of the <\/em>Egyptians<\/em><\/a> is a correct one; and they attempt to frame another. And I wish you to observe, that they have altogether taken away many Scriptures from the translations effected by those seventy elders who were with Ptolemy, and by which this very man who was crucified is <\/em>proved<\/em><\/a> to have been set forth expressly as <\/em>God<\/em><\/a>, and man, and as being crucified, and as dying; but since I am aware that this is denied by all of your nation, I do not address myself to these points, but I proceed to carry on my discussions by means of those passages which are still admitted by you. For you assent to those which I have brought before your attention, except that you contradict the statement, ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive,’ and say it ought to be read, ‘Behold, the young <\/em>woman<\/em><\/a> shall conceive.’ And I promised to prove that the <\/em>prophecy<\/em><\/a> referred, not, as you were taught, to Hezekiah, but to this Christ of mine<\/a>.\u201d[81]<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trypho was one of many who denied Christ\u2019s divinity and His virgin birth.  It\u2019s no surprise that Alexandrian manuscripts from 300 years after Justin Martyr and Trypho would claim these heresies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GNOSTICS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gnostics believed that salvation came through comples knowledge of divine things.  The Greek word \u1f10\u03c0\u03af\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2 <\/em> means \u201cknowledge.\u201d  They and other heretics attacked the doctrines of Christ\u2019s deity and the Trinity in the early centuries.  The resulting confusion led Constantine to assemble the Council of Nicea in 325, around 150 years after Justin Martyr, which declared that Jesus was both fully God and fully man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gnostics taught that matter was evil.  From a Gnostic perspective, the material world is not just fallen but an utterly flawed creation, beyond God\u2019s power of forgiveness or redemption though grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gnostics believed there was a mysterious or secret knowledge reserved for those with true understanding, leading to the salvation of the soul. Spiritual salvation was of preeminence to the Gnostics because they thought the human spirit was naturally good and was entrapped or imprisoned in the body, which was naturally evil or merely an illusion. Their goal, therefore, was to free the spirit from its embodied prison, and the only key to unlock the prison doors was the mysterious knowledge they possessed.[82]<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Escape from the physical is only available to the small minority who know<\/em>, who recognize the need for liberation, which lies within.  By claiming that grace lies only<\/em> in those who know, they changed the truth of Scripture into a lie and \u201cworshipped and served the creature more than the Creator (Rom. 1:25[83]<\/a>)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They did not accept the fact of a perfect creation which was polluted when Adam chose to sin.  Matter is inherently evil, so Jesus could not be both a perfect God and a perfect man in the flesh.  The Gnostics were particularly active in Alexandria where Sinaiticus<\/em> originated.  That\u2019s why Sinaiticus<\/em> has so many Gnostic changes which undermine Christ\u2019s deity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gnostics also believed that marriage is evil and ignored what Paul wrote in favor of marriage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.  Hebrews 13:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER <\/a>HERESIES THAT DENY SCRIPTURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many groups which deny the Bible.  Mormons believe that God is an exalted man and that men can become gods.  Adam was God who came from heaven with one of his heavenly wives.  Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers.  Jesus married, had children, and became God through obedience (Jn. 8:58[84]<\/a>, 1 Tim. 3:16[85]<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seventh Day Adventists teach that Sunday worship is the mark of the antichrist and that God commands Christians to keep the Sabbath (Col. 2:16[86]<\/a>).  Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses deny the Trinity (1 Jn. 5:7-8[87]<\/a>) and say that Jesus was a created beginning (Jn. 10:30[88]<\/a>, Eph. 3:9[89]<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is not much value in studying heresies in detail.  When secret service agents are taught to recognize counterfeit currency, they aren\u2019t shown any, but spend many hours looking at genuine bills.  Once they become extremely familiar with the real thing, fake jumps out at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How <\/a>We Received the Word of God<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

God gave us the Old Testament in Hebrew and a bit of Aramaic; He gave the New Testament in Greek.  The words written in the original languages are the ultimate authority:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Testament in Hebrew, (which was the native language of the people of God of old,) and the New Testament in Greek, (which, at the time of the writing of it was most generally known to the nations,) being immediately inspired by God, and by his singular care and providence kept pure in all ages<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[90]<\/a>, are therefore authentical (Mt. 5:18[91]<\/a>) so as in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them (Is. 8:20[92]<\/a>, Jn. 5:39,46[93]<\/a>, Acts 15:14-17[94]<\/a>).[95]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) was written in 1647 when Sinaiticus<\/em> was still hidden in a desert monastery and the TR was the only Greek available.  As explained on page 41, the TR was and is the only Greek manuscript that has been continuously available<\/a>.  Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and Protestants who honor the WCF use versions based on manuscripts that are not authoritative according to the WCF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westcott and Hort, the scholars who edited the Greek text from which modern versions were translated, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[It is] our belief that even among the numerous unquestionably spurious readings of the New Testament there are no signs of deliberate falsification of the text for dogmatic purposes.\u201d[96]<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How could they believe that?  Paul said that he was being misquoted (Rom. 3:8[97]<\/a>) and warned of forged \u201cletter as from us (2 Thes. 2:2[98]<\/a>).\u201d  We must determine which of many thousands of manuscripts are of God and which are not.  The Bible tells how God gave us His Word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17<\/sup>That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.  II Timothy 3:16-17<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Peter explained the origin of scripture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  II Peter 1:21<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some call this \u201cplenary verbal inspiration\u201d meaning that the Holy Spirit chose each and every word when inspiring the original documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW THE KING JAMES BIBLE<\/a> WAS DEVELOPED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The KJB uses \u201cinspiration\u201d in one other place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 of the Almighty giveth them understanding.  Job 32:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.  James 1:5<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

God gives inspiration such as Edison\u2019s desire to create an electric light or Einstein\u2019s desire to explain the movement of the planet Mercury.  Earlier translators had been burned at the stake; the KJB team knew that their work might displease the powerful.  They wrote their Epistle Dedicatory<\/em><\/a> to flatter the king enough to save their lives.  Page 75 shows that the Epistle is so far inferior to the translation that it\u2019s hard to believe they were written by the same group.  The difference in writing quality shows that Holy Spirit was involved in the KJB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also wrote The <\/em>Translators to the Reader<\/em><\/a> on page 79 to explain their thought process.  It begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeale to promote the common good, whether it be by devising any thing our selves, or revising that which hath bene laboured by others<\/strong>, deserveth certainly much respect and esteeme, but yet findeth but cold intertainment in the world. It is welcommed with suspicion in stead of love, and with emulation in stead of thankes: and if there be any hole left for cavill to enter, (and cavill, if it doe not finde a hole, will make one) it is sure to bee misconstrued, and in danger to be condemned.  [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The translators were convinced of the divine origin of Scripture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what marvaile? The originall thereof being from heaven, not from earth; the authour being God, not man; the enditer, the holy spirit, not the wit of the Apostles or Prophets<\/strong>; the Pen-men such as were sanctified from the wombe, and endewed with a principall portion of Gods spirit; the matter, veritie, pietie, puritie, uprightnesse; the forme, Gods word, Gods testimonie, Gods oracles, the word of trueth, the word of salvation, &c. the effects, light of understanding, stablenesse of persuasion, repentance from dead workes, newnesse of life, holinesse, peace, joy in the holy Ghost; lastly, the end and reward of the studie thereof, fellowship with the Saints, participation of the heavenly nature, fruition of an inheritance immortall, undefiled, and that never shall fade away: Happie is the man that delighteth in the Scripture, and thrise happie that meditateth in it day and night.  [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They wanted to make Scripture available so that everyone could enjoy the blessings of reading the Word of God as they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSES PROMISING <\/a>PRESERVATION FOR EVERY GENERATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s people must study His Word and pass it on from generation to generation.  God promised that His Word will be available to every generation.  Scripture also explains how God\u2019s Word is preserved \u2013 each generation carefully passes it on to the next without interruption<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7<\/sup>And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  Deuteronomy 6:6-7<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 17<\/sup>And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 18<\/sup>Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19<\/sup>And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  Deuteronomy 11:16-19<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 21<\/sup>As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Isaiah 59:20-21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy spirit that is upon thee\u201d shows that God\u2019s Spirit is involved in preserving His Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he answered and said, It is written<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  Matthew 4:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 of God.  Luke 4:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These passages emphasize the importance of individual Words.  The verb \u201cwritten\u201d is in the perfect tense, which describes actions in the past which continue through the present forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 from the law, till all be fulfilled.  Matthew 5:18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrew has jots and tittles; Greek does not.  Jesus supported the Hebrew text and not the Greek Septuagint translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Matthew 24:35<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6<\/sup>Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.  Proverbs 30:5-6<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Verse 6 shows continuous preservation \u2013 men couldn\u2019t change Scripture unless it was available.  It promises that God will judge those who change His Word.  As heresies became common in the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> centuries, the corrupted Codex Sinaiticus<\/em> and Vaticanus<\/em> manuscripts were ignored until they were found by scholars seeking to undermine the Word of God.  If they had been used, they would have worn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7<\/sup>Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Psalm 12:6-7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This verse speaks of inspiration (v 6) and continuous preservation (v 7) of the very Words of God, not just thoughts or ideas.  Those who support modern versions must deny the doctrine of preservation to justify using their favored manuscripts.  They argue that this verse promises to preserve God\u2019s people and not His Words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.  Psalm 119:89<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.  Psalm 119:152<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  Psalm 119:160<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Verses 152 and 160 show that God\u2019s testimonies, words, and judgments will last forever on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Isaiah 40:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God gave the Jews responsibility for preserving His Word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2<\/sup>Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Romans 3:1-2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, 25<\/sup>That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 26<\/sup>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.  Deuteronomy 31:24-26<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

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 17:18<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That responsibility to preserve God\u2019s Word has been passed to the church, the Priesthood of All Believers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  I Timothy 3:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  II Timothy 2:2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s people ignored<\/em> His Word from time to time, but God not only kept it from being lost, He stirred up leaders\u2019 hearts to value Gods Word more than gods of the nations round about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.  II Chronicles 15:3<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.  II Kings 22:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  II Kings 22:11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. 10<\/sup>For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.  Ezra 7:9-10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God expects His people to preserve His word and pass it on to others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;  I Peter 2:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The priesthood of all believers keeps scripture \u201cthe same\u201d as Jewish priests preserved scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24<\/sup>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: 25<\/sup>But the word of the Lord endureth for ever<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.  I Peter 1:23-25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incorruptible Word of God by which the gospel is preached to us will live and abide forever.  \u201cIncorruptible\u201d means that every word<\/em> will be preserved.  Those who don\u2019t care about the 3,036 differences between Vaticanus<\/em> and Sinaiticus<\/em> in just the gospels, between the Masoretic Hebrew text and the Greek Septuagint, between the King James and modern translations, have an unbeliever\u2019s view of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
