Why I Use the King James Version #1

The Church
has been
like the
field of the
slothful.
_______

Don't
add or
take
away!
Deut.12:32
Prov.30:5
Rev.22:19

Our modern day translations have been spoiled through philosophy, vain deceit, traditions of men, and the rudiments of this world.

 Look at the admonition given to the Church from Judges.
(Judges.3:12-30, 1 Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4)

Rather than the Church resisting these changes, they gave place to them as the children of Israel did their adversary, Eglon, king of Moab. Since the Revised Version (1881 A.D.) until our present day. The Church has given place and served the enemy (the Devil), allowing changes in the Word of God, without a challenge! However, there has been, and still are the "Ehud's" in the Church that God has raised up to bring deliverance from this corruption. However, the Church has restricted them by "appeasing" Satan by giving place to philosophy, vain deceit, traditions of men, the rudiments of this world and not after Christ. (Col.2:8, Judges3:15)

The Church, like Samson has gone to sleep on Delilah's lap. (Judges.13-16)   

Most Christians think, their modern translations (i.e. everything after the King James Version) is a corrected, more reliable, more faithful translation to the original scriptures. They have been lead to believe that there have been no changes to God's inspired Word, only the English language has been revised. If this is true, then why are there scriptures left completely out, and others left in with a footnote saying it should not be there?

Here are some examples of thousands of Changes!
(Note:Any of the modern translation could be used for these examples, because they all footnote the same scriptures. The Amplified Bible, The New American Standard and the New International are being used because there is not enough Website space to include all 26 plus modern translations)

Acts.8:37 "And Phillip said, If thou believe with all your heart...that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
This is a statement of Deity (That Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh) John.5:17-18. Without the Deity of Christ we are dead in our sins, and without hope. (1Cor.15:1-58, Note:v.17-18)

 1   The Amplified Bible
They leave this scripture in "italics" with this qualifying statement. "Italic: point out certain familiar passages now recognized as not adequately supported by the original manuscripts."

 2   The New American Standard 
This verse is left out of the Bible with this note."Late manuscripts insert verse 37: And Phillip said,"If you believe with all you heart you may. And he answered and said "I believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God."

 3   The New International Version (NIV) 
Late manuscripts insert verse.37

     One change should be enough to wake up a sleeping Church!     

Mark.16:9-20 This is scripture speaking of Christ's resurrection, appearing the apostles, proving His Deity.
Without Christ's Deity, we are yet dead in our sins. (1Cor.15:1-18) The first century Church, preached the resurrection.(Acts.1:22;2:31;4:2,33;17:18) The resurrection is the foundation of Christianity. Take the foundation away, and the building collapses. (Psalm.11:3)

 1   The Amplified Bible
"Verse 9-20 not found in the two earliest manuscripts. 

 2   The New American Standard 
"Some of the oldest manuscripts omit from verse 9 through 20. A few later manuscripts and versions contain this paragraph, usually after verse 8; a few have it at the end of the chapter."

 3   The New Testament from 26 Translations
Their footnote from v.8 "The text of Mark was apparently broken off here. While many manuscripts have the remaining verses, these witnesses are not superior quality.       
           
This is what they really mean when they say...

"Familiar passages"- What they mean is, your Christian life has been built upon these verses for all these years, but now they are not really in God's Word.

  The most serious changes are concerning Christ's Deity and Virgin  Birth!  
Without Christ's Virgin birth, Deity and bodily resurrection we are yet dead in our sins! Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) is the ONLY ONE that can redeem us. God rejects everything else! Therefore, to discredit His Deity, virgin birth or bodily resurrection, is to cut yourself off from God. (Matt.1:18-25, John.17:5, Isa.42:8, 1 Tim.3:16, John.1:1-14,1Cor.15:1-22, Luke.24:36-43)

"And (Joseph) knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son...Jesus" (Virgin Born) Matt.1:25
The Living Bible - "her son was born"
New American Standard - "gave birth to a son"
New International Bible - "she gave birth to a son"
These modern translations all say they come from the original scriptures. They claim to be more faithful to God's inspired Word, and place Jesus in His rightful place. This creates doubt in the virgin birth of Christ! The context proves Jesus was the firstborn, regardless of what the modern scholar thinks.

Eph.3:9 "...God...created all things by Jesus Christ:" (Deity, God manifest in the flesh)
New American standard - They omit these words with no footnote
The Amplified Bible - They put "Jesus Christ" in italics, which means that "by Jesus Christ" is now recognized "as not adequately supported by the original scriptures. This was because the editorial committee of the Amplified Bible "pursued" the Greek Text of Westcott and Hort" (which is Sinaiticus and Vaticanus) with meticulous care." The "four-fold aim" of the Amplified Bible is to (1) It should be true to the original scriptures (i.e. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus) (2) It should be grammatically correct. (3) It should be understandable to the masses. (d) It should give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place which the Word gives Him. Is taking out "Jesus Christ" from being the creator giving Him His proper place? I think not!
The American Standard - They translate "God created all things" with no acknowledge of Jesus Christ. No recognition of the fact that "all things were created by Him" (Jesus Christ, The Word. Col.1:16-17, John.1-14, Heb.1:1-2)
The New Testament from 26 translations has this footnote. "The aim of the present volume is to clarify the meaning of the King James Version by the use of more recent translations of the Biblical text" Meaning Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, the Greek text of Westcott and Hort.

  Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are "tares amongst the "wheat " (Matt.13:24-30)  

A brief History of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.

When the New Testament was first inspired of God, it was hand written manuscripts that the people copied. (There was no printing press invented yet) After the death of John (approx.90-100 A.D.) the Church began to spiritually decline, and the manuscripts became "notoriously corrupt" because there was no Apostolic and Prophetic structure left in the Church. This corruption was lead by Origen of the School of Alexander. They were changing, and the leaving out scriptures concerning the Deity of Christ, claiming these were corrections, just as scholars do today! (Acts.8:37, Mark.16:9-20, Matt.1:25, Eph.3:9 are some examples) However, God still preserved His Word! (Jer.1:12, Matt.5:18) This corruption became so great, that Constantine called the council of Nicaea.(325 A.D.) The overwhelming majority condemned this corruption and established the "Nicaean Creed." Constantine then had 50 official Bibles hand written and set in the Churches to correct this corruption. However, when these official Bibles where hand copied, the corruption was left in. By 382 A.D. there was a need for a Latin translation of the scriptures, because Latin had become the language of that time.This translating was performed by Jerome, who used the corrupt Greek text of the 50 official Bibles, that Constantine had hand copied. This was the New Testament of the Church UNTIL Erasmus placed God's Word back into the Greek language (1466-1536 A.D.) eliminating the corrupt manuscripts. (This became known as the "Textus Receptus.") Erasmus had a student named Martin Luther, who God called out and began the Reformation. During this time(1525-36 A.D.) Tyndale translated the Greek Text of Erasmus in English. By this time the printing press had been invented, allowing the Word of God to be placed back into the peoples hands. Since the Reformation until the King James Version, the Bible has been translated from the Textus Receptus.

                                   After the King James Bible there was A CHANGE!                                          

In 1870 A.D. Bible scholars in the Church of England decided that something should be done to bring the English reader nearer to the original Bible languages. (They are still trying!) Therefore they formed a Revision committee. This committee was joined by two individuals named, Westcott and Hort, who introduced two manuscripts that they claimed were older and more reliable than the King James Version. These two manuscripts were called, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. They claimed that Erasmus did not know about them. The fact is Erasmus did know and rejected them because they are two extant (i.e. still in existence) manuscripts from Constantine's 50 official Bibles. Nevertheless, the Revision committee gave place to Westcott and Hort and exalted these to have "the" authority over The Textus Receptus.

Ask yourself this question?
Is it more accurate to say Mary "brought forth her firstborn son"
or "her son was born" or "her...son" or "gave birth to a son"
