Identifying of the Authentic Written “WORD OF GOD”

Perverting of God’s word is nothing new.

Jeremiah 23:36 (KJV) ...ye have PERVERTED THE WORDS OF THE LIVING GOD

2 Corinthians 2:17 (KJV) For we (Paul, Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, etc.) 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.

Mark 4:15 (KJV) SATAN COMETH … and TAKETH AWAY THE WORD… sown in their hearts.

Most pastors and Christians today consider the modern Bible translations they use as “harmless,” but they’re not. There has been a concerted effort to corrupt the word of God. Satan seeks a “universal Bible” of his own, as the basis for unifying all religions into a one-world religion, under a one-world government led by the coming false messiah, Anti-Christ, possessed by Satan himself. His Bibles diminish the pure Gospel. You might ask; how can you say that?

If you compare the modern translations carefully with the Authorized King James Bible (KJV), verse for verse, you will see that there is a concerted effort to diminish the place and singularity of Jesus as “the Son of God,” and His blood shed that was “for the sins of the world.”

By example: The New King James Bible Version has 100,000 changes from the KJV. It omits “hell” 22 times, “blood” 23 times, “repent” 44 times, “heaven” 50 times, “God” 51 times, “Lord” 66 times, and “devils,” “damnation,” and “JEHOVAH,” are completely omitted. JEHOVAH” appears thousands of times in the Old Testament as the literal name of God but… in deference to world ecumenism they changed it to “the Lord” which is a title, not a name. False religions can then attach any false god’s name to this ‘title.’

Most all modern translations (NIV, ESV, NASB, AMP, RSV, Living Bible, et al) have been similarly corrupted because they are most all derived from the same “new” (1881) corrupted Greek text that was assembled by these two men, Westcott & Hort. These men drew their “new” Greek text from the disputed Alexandrian text and Latin Vulgate. A group of “scholars” in Alexandria, Egypt thought they could do better than the KJV’s Textus Receptus manuscripts. When they made their copies, they made “corrections” that they thought better presented what the Scriptures should say. Some of their errors were gross blunders (like quoting Malachi and calling it “as written in Isaiah”) but others were more subtle slight word changes to take away from the deity and blood of Christ. They removed verses they didn’t like.

The KJV’s Textus Receptus is the Greek text that has been used by Christians for nearly 2,000 years. Over 99% of the 5200 existing Greek New Testament manuscripts are in agreement with the text of the English Authorized Version of 1611. Yet, the Alexandrian text has recently been the most influential in the so-called modern, critical editions of the Greek New Testament, achieving widespread acceptance in the Greek text of Westcott & Hort (1881), culminating in the United Bible Society Nestle-Aland 27th edition of the New Testament. The Catholic RSV of 1965 and NSRV of 1981 are based on the “second hand” Latin Vulgate Text.

“Brooke Foss Westcott (1825-1903) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828-1892) have been highly controversial figures in biblical history. On one side, their supporters have heralded them as great men of God, having greatly advanced the search for the original Greek text. On the other side, their opponents have leveled charges of heresy, infidelity, apostasy, and many others, claiming that they are guilty of WREAKING GREAT DAMAGE ON THE TRUE TEXT OF SCRIPTURE.”

Consider these Westcott/Hort Quotes & Facts:

“It cannot be said that they believed that one could attain Heaven by either works or faith, since both believed that Heaven exists only in the mind of man.” Westcott believed in and attempted to practice a form of Communism… Westcott & Hort believed it possible to communicate with the dead and made many attempts to do just that through a society which they organized, called “The Ghostly Guild.” Westcott accepted and promoted prayers for and to the dead. Necromancy, which is communion with the dead, is forbidden in Deuteronomy 18:10-11 There shall not be found among you any one that ... (is a) consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Hort was a proponent of Darwin and his theory of evolution. These two men are the main source of today’s modern Bibles – NIV, NASB, ESV, Living Bible, et al!

The NIV (New International Version) is based upon the 1881 New Greek Text developed by Westcott & Hort. The following 16 whole verses that are found the KJV have been “deleted” in the NIV.

1.   Matthew 17:21:  "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

2.   Matthew 18:11:  "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

4.    Mark 7:16:  "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."

5.    Mark 9:44:  "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

10.    John 5:4:  "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

11.    Acts 8:37:  "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

16.   I John 5:7:  "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

 

This a list of Bible verses by which you can check to see IF YOUR BIBLE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED.

These verses taken from the KJV are compared to NIV, NASB, etc., owing to Westcott & Hort.

> WHO IS MARK QUOTING IN THE 1ST PART OF MARK 1:2?

Mark 1:2 (KJV) “As it is WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS, Behold, I send my messenger…”

Below are two typical of the corrupted new age Bible translations, having inaccuracies.

Mark 1:2 (NIV) It is written in ISAIAH the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you…

Mark 1:2 (NASB) As it is written in ISAIAH the prophet: Behold, I send My messenger

Isaiah 40:3 comes close BUT the words “I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER” (KJV) are missing.

Isaiah 40:3 KJV The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD…

Actually, MARK 1:2 IS QUOTING the PROPHET MALACHI 3:1 – NOT ISAIAH.

Malachi 3:1 (KJV) Behold, I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER, and he shall prepare the way before me…

This is only one of many hundreds of major conflicts between the KJV and new age translations.

As You Will See It’s Important to Have ALL The Verses With ALL The Words!

1. Who killed Goliath? We know young David killed Goliath, see Isaiah 21:9. Let’s compare Bibles.

2 Samuel 21:19 (KJV) And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew THE BROTHER of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

2 Samuel 21:19 (NIV, NASB, etc) In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.

2. Can you find Satan’s name, “Lucifer” (KJV) in Isa. 14:12 of your Bible? It’s Not found in NIV, NASB, ESV, AMP, RSV, etc.

3. Are these complete VERSES IN YOUR BIBLE? They’re NOT in the NIV, NLT, ESV, NET Bibles.

Matthew 17:21 (KJV) Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Mark 9:44, 46, 48 (KJV) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched

Acts 8:37 (KJV) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD.

1 John 5:7 (KJV) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (This is an attack on the Triune Godhead!)

4. Who is Jesus’ father?

We know Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit from Matt. 1:20.

- Luke 2:33 (KJV) And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him (Jesus).

Note here above that Joseph is correctly NOT called Jesus’ father in the KJV, but Joseph is called “the child’s father” in the corrupted bibles, see below.

- ALTERED: Lk. 2:33 (NIV, NASB) The child’s FATHER and mother marveled at what was said about him.

This is an attack on the truth that Jesus was “the Son of God,” who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, NOT of Joseph.

5.  Note how the words are rearranged. Is Jesus Christ ‘God over all’?       Apparently NOT in the NIV, NASB, etc. (Compare below)

Romans 9:5 (KJV) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh ‘CHRIST CAME, WHO IS OVER ALL,’ God blessed for ever. Amen.

ALTERED Here: Romans 9:5 (NIV, NASB, et al) Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

6.  Did “GodCreated All Things By Jesus Christ? Apparently NOT in the NIV, NASB, etc. (Compare)

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, Who Created All Things By Jesus Christ:

ALTERED Here: Ephesians 3:9 (NIV) and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

7.  Is Jesus “the Alpha and Omega, first & Last”!       NOT in the NIV, NASB, etc. (Compare below)

Revelation 1:11 (KJV) Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

ALTERED Here: Revelation 1:11 (NIV, NASB, etc) which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”

Note what is missing (above). This is yet another attack on “the Son of God” being the eternal God!

8. DOES GOD’S “WORD” MATTER? God’s Name is “above ALL blessing and praise.”

Nehemiah 9:5b (KJV) … Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious NAME, WHICHISEXALTED ABOVE ALL blessing and praise.

ALTERED Here: Nehemiah 9:5 (NIV) …Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.” “Blessed be your glorious name, and “MAY IT BE exalted above all blessing and praise.

Yet, God has placed His WORD above His NAME! (Compare below).

Psalm 138:1-2 (KJV) I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 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.

ALTERED Here: Psalms 138:1-2 (NIV, NASB., etc) I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise. 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name AND your word.

The Perfect Written “Word of God”

Psalm 19:7-10 (KJV) The law (written instruction in the Torah, the Pentateuch) of the LORD is Perfect (without blemish), converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes (commandments) of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

1 Thess 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 (Paul and his), 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.

1Cor 14:37 (KJV) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I (Paul) write unto YOU ARE THE COMMANDMENTS (instruction) OF THE LORD.
