“[Y]e
have perverted the words of the living God.” Jeremiah 23:36.
We have the
faith that God has preserved His Word throughout the ages. The Bible was
originally written in Hebrew (most of the Old Testament), Greek (New Testament)
and Aramaic (Ezra, Daniel, Jeremiah), as this languages are unfamiliar to most
of us we need to dependent on a good translation.
There is
generally no question about the translations for the Old Testament. But the
only versions using the Received Text as the basis for the New Testament are
those of the King James tradition. Foremost in this tradition is the King James
Version (KJV) itself.
Both the
Old and New Testaments of the KJV, which has been used for over 300 years, are
based on text-types that have been providentially preserved.
As all
translations, the KJV is not a perfect translation. Its main weakness is its
readability. It is true that its English has not been updated since 1769, and
it contains archaic expressions. This difficulty has often been exaggerated by
detractors of the KJV and after reading it for a few weeks one can easily get
used to the language as God gives Him grace to understand it.
During the
early 1600’s, King James VI of Scotland wanted to settle disputes that had
arisen during that time due to the rise of Protestantism and the Catholic
Church’s reaction to it. For this reason, King James set guidelines to the
translation of the Bible so as to ensure that the text had been
"translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations
diligently compared and revised (by His Majesty's special command.)
The KJV translators not only provided an accurate English translation of the
best manuscript tradition, but they masterfully rendered the English in a
literary style befitting the dignity of Sacred Writ.
Although
publishers have hoped to multiply their profits by producing a version which
would replace the KJV, it still remains the most trusted Bible for the majority
of English-speaking Christians.
As we stand in these last days of earth's history, our faith in the Word of God
must be strong. “[T]he scripture cannot be broken.”
John 10:35. We must confidently turn to the Scriptures for guidance and be able
to present its saving truths to others clearly.
While,
other versions of the Bible often make the most relevant truths ambiguous, the
King James Version resoundingly affirms them. No other version speaks so convincingly
of last day issues. Certainly there was a divine purpose at work in the
production and preservation of such an authoritative transcript of Holy Writ.
As we study the Holy Scriptures, may each of us individually be assured that “the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah
40:8. And may we accept its wondrous truths not only intellectually, but make
them a dynamic, meaningful part of our everyday lives.
“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.” Revelation 22:18-19.
For more information on why we believe that the KJV is the most
reliable version of the Bible read:
“New Age
Bible Versions:
An
Exhaustive Documentation Exposing The Message, Men and Manuscripts Moving
Mankind To The Antichrist’s One World Religion.”
By G.A.
Riplinger.
This book contains the latest research supporting the authorized King
James Version and is a new case against the NIV, NASB, NKJV, NRSV, NAB, REB,
RSV, CEV, TEV, GNB, LIVING, PHILLIPS, NEW JERUSALEM, & NEW CENTURY.
“New Age Bible Versions” is the result of an exhaustive six year
collation of new Bible versions, their underlying Greek manuscripts, editions
and editors. It objectively and methodically documents the hidden alliance
between new versions and New Age Movement’s One World Religion.
The following is an excerpt from “New Age Bible Versions”:
[T]his book objectively and
methodically documents the following discoveries, which stunned the author as
they will the reader.
1.
The New Age movement’s expressed goal of
infiltrating the evangelical church and gradually changing the Bible to conform
to it One World Religion is evident in the current new versions. Their words
and docotrines prepare the apostate church of these last days to accept the
Antichrist, his mark, image and religion – Lucifer worship.
2.
This has taken place because the editors of the new
versions as well as the authors of the Greek editions, manuscripts, lexicons
and dictionaries used in their compilations, hold beliefs which an orthodox
Christian would find shocking. Research opens the door exposing them in séance
parlors, mental institutions, prison cells and courtrooms for heresy trials. A
few examples include:
·
The Greek text used to translate the NIV, NASB, and
other was an edition drastically altered by a Spiritualist (one who seeks
contact with the dead through séances), who believe he was in the “new age.”
Two other ‘new’ version editors where also involved in spiritualism.
·
The NIV’s chief editor vaunts his version’s heresy
saying:
This [his NIV] shows the great
error that is so prevalent today in some orthodox Protestant circles, namely
the error that regernation depends upon faith . . . and that in order to be
born again man must first accept Jesus as Savior.
Few clear and decisive texts say
that Jesus is God.
·
The NASB’s progenitor, called “the mediator between
East and West” by his colleagues, was and instruemental member of he
‘gathering’ which East-West Journal calls the
kick off event for New Age movement and “East West Synthesis.” This new version
editor referred to his alerations of the articles of faith saying:
The changes thus far . . . are in
the right direction . . . and should contain the germs of a new theology.
·
A surprising number of new version editors have
permanently lost their ability to speak (five and still counting).
·
Insantiy marked another prominent new versions
editors whose commitments to mental institutions served as bookends to a life
fraught with derangement and hallucinosis.
·
Ther reference dictionary used by new version
editors to research Greek etymology was edited by Hitler’s propaganda ‘high
priest’, who later was tried and found gulty of war crimes as an accessory in
the death of millions.
3.
Contrary to adversiting claims, the new versions
are more difficult to read than the KJV, according to
research using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Indicators.
4.
A ‘new’ Christianity is emerging from the new
versions which substitutes riches for righteousness, a crown for a cross, and
imitation for a new creation.
5.
The few Greek manuscripts underlying new versions
contains yet unreleased material which is an exact blueprint for the
antichrist’s One World Religion. A complete translation of these being called
for by new versions editors and New Agers alike. This ‘new’ version could be
the final “universal Bible” called for by the U.N. Assistant Secretary General
Robert Muller.
