Assault on the Bible

by Richard Power

Part OneWith thanks beyond measure to Sam Adams, whosecommentary and research has been the inspiration to

complete this work.

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the

end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs14:12/16:25 [KJV*]

The assault on the Word began at creation: 1. "Now theserpent was more subtil than any beast of the field,

which the Lord God had made. And he said unto thewoman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every

tree of the garden?" 2. "And the woman said unto theserpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

garden:" 3. "But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God

hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." 4. "And theserpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:" 5. "For God doth know that

in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,knowing good and evil." Genesis 3: 1-5

The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed the perversion of the Word in his day:

"Ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. "Jer. 23:36

The last century has seen the publication of many 'bible' versions, which are infact not versions, butperversions of the Word of God, in that they blatantly attack

the person, deity, and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, and pervert the trueGospel of Christ, among many other heresies. These corrupted 'bibles,' which alladopt as their authority a corrupted Greek text which contains over 6,000

deletions and substitutions from the original inspired text, include the NIV [NewInternational Version,] NAS [New American Standard Version,] NKJ [New King

James Version,] and many others. It has become clear that God has preserved Hisinfallible and inerrant Word only in the Authorised King James Bible. If you doubtthe truth of this statement, consider the following quote from Dr. Frank Logsdon,the theologian and language scholar who led the translation of the New American

Standard Version [NAS:]

"I must, under God, renounce every attachment to the New American

Standard Version. Im afraid Im in trouble with the Lord...We laid the

groundwork; I wrote the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I

wrote the preface...Im in trouble; I cant refute these arguments; itswrong, frighteningly wrong, and what am I going to do about it?

"When questions began to reach me at first, I was quite offended...I used tolaugh with others...However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense thatsomething was not right with the New American Standard Version. I can nolonger ignore these criticisms I am hearing and I cant refute them...the

deletions are absolutely frightening...there are so many...Are we so navethat we do not suspect satanic deception in all of this?

"Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explainingthat I was forced to renounce all attachment to the NASV. The product is

grievous to my heart and helps to complicate matters in these alreadytroublous times...I dont want anything to do with it. The finest leaders that

we have today...havent gone into it [corrupted Greek test,] just as I hadntgone into it...thats how easily one can be deceived...

"[Y]ou can say the Authorized Version [KJV] is absolutely correct. Howcorrect? 100% correct!...I believe the Spirit of God led the translators of theAuthorized Version. If you must stand against everyone else, stand..." ref:New Age Bible Versions by G.A. Riplinger; AV Publications, Ararat VA [800-

435-4535]

The critical difference between the King James Bible and the modern perversions

is in the Greek text they were translated from. The KJ was translated from theReceived Text or Textus Receptus [TR,] which was compiled and printed in Greekby Erasmus in 1516 from the majority of Greek texts available; hence thealternate term Majority Text. The reliability of this text is based on the premise

that as New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand and spread throughoutAsia Minor and Europe from the 1st Century AD, the majority of copies would bereliable and errors would only occur in very few of the copies. [This is a good

place to add that the translators of the King James Bible were so meticulous intheir task, that a single misspelled word or error of any kind resulted in acomplete re-write of the affected page. The writer destroyed the corrupted page,bathed, changed clothes and prayed for several hours before returning to work.]

Where the KJ differs from the modern perversions, the KJs readings areconfirmed by thousands of scriptural quotes from the writings of early Churchfathers; such as Tertullian, Hippolytus, Irenaeus and Justin Martyr, dating back to

the 1st century and the early church at Antioch.

God promised to preserve His word. He has done so through the TR text:

6. "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 themfrom this generation for ever." Psalm 12:6,7

8. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall standfor ever." Isaiah 40:8




3/25

"But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the

gospel is preached unto you." 1 Peter 1:25

Part Two

The Satanic assault on the New Testament scriptures began even as they were

being written in the 1st century. "For we are not as many, which corrupt the wordof God..." [2 Cor. 2: 17 KJV*] "...which they that are unlearned and unstablewrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." [2 Peter3: 16]

The modern revisionist versions were translated from the product of that assault,a corrupted Greek text [Westcott-Hort Text,] fabricated in the 1850's by two

English spiritualists named B.F. Westcott and F.J. Hort, neither of whom were truebelievers in Christ. Westcott denied the deity and substitutionary atonement of

Christ, and reportedly dabbled in the occult.1 Both men denied the inerrancy andliteral interpretation of scripture. Both also preferred Catholic doctrine. Hortcalled evangelical doctrine 'perverted' and wrote to Westcott: "Protestantism isonly parenthetical and temporary." Hort praised Darwin's theory of evolution inwriting and denied that Eden ever existed. Westcott wrote, "No one now, I

suppose, holds that the first three chapters of Genesis give a literal history. Icould never understand how anyone reading them with open eyes could think they

did."2

In compiling their Greek text, Westcott and Hort followed obscure, corrupted

manuscripts [Alexandrian Text] which can be traced to a 3rd century apostatenamed Origen [185-254 AD.] Origen deliberately changed the scriptures to suit his

own twisted pagan doctrines [blend of Gnosticism, Platonism & Mysticism.]Origen's work resulted in the Codex Sinaiticus [a manuscript aptly discovered in

1844 in the waste bin of a Mt. Sinai monastery,] and Codex Vaticanus texts lateradopted by Westcott & Hort, which delete and substitute key words from theMajority Text in thousands of doctrinally critical places. Footnotes in the modern

'versions' deceptively refer to these as the "oldest and most reliable" manuscripts.The result of this assault is a group of modern perversions of the Word of God[NIV, NAS, NKJ, Living Bible, New World Translation [Watchtower/JW] Good Newsfor Modern Man, etc,] which all make the same heretical deletions and

substitutions.

The danger of these new 'watered down' versions is that they can be easily twisted

and misinterpreted where the King James cannot, and they can be used to supportand teach false doctrines of demons. A trained and discipled Christian may read

his understanding of orthodox theology into the modern versions' revised passages,but so can heretics and New-Agers do the same with their demonic doctrines. Eventhe New King James Version [NKJ,] which generally follows the TR [KJV] text,

makes many of the same corruptions the other perversions make, and where itdoes not do so, it points out with footnotes most deviations from the Westcott-




4/25

Hort text, which in itself causes great confusion and casts doubt on the authority

and reliability of Scripture.

Next week, we will produce a sampling of crucial King James texts which arecorrupted in the new versions, and should be enough to convince any skeptic thatthe new versions do NOT present the inspired word of God, CANNOT be acceptedas authoritative, and should NOT be used by Christians.

Part Three

Attacks on the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and Denial of His Deity

Denial that Jesus is God

For dedicated revisionists to succeed in their attack on Christ, the first thing

necessary for them to do is create doubt about His divinity. By removing theperson of the Trinity from Him, they then can add other Gods, or deny the TriuneGod.

1 Timothy 3:16 One of the strongest statements in the Bible of Christ's deity.

KJV - "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God wasmanifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, and seen of angels, preached untothe Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

NIV, NAS, RSV Change 'God' to 'He'

Jude 1:4

KJB - "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old

ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into

lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."

NIV Change 'Lord God' to 'Sovereign and Lord.'

NAS, NLT, RSV Change 'Lord God' to 'Master and Lord.'

Jude 1:25

KJV "To the only wise God Our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion andpower, both now and ever. Amen"




5/25

NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT - Add "through Jesus Christ our Lord" after "God our Saviour."

Shifts the meaning of "God our Saviour" from the Son to the Father.

"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviourof the world." 1 John 4:14 KJV

Note the spelling of 'Saviour' in the King James is changed to 'Savior' in theperversions. This also degrades the deity of Christ, since the only meaning of the

word 'Saviour' with a capital 's' in the old English language is God, or Jesus. Thespelling without the capital and deleting the letter 'u' is the common savior, such

as firemen, life guards, etc. These very subtle changes are overlooked by most,but the reasons for them screams out with a loud voice.

Romans 14:10-12

KJB 10. "But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought

thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ.

11. "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, andevery tongue shall confess to God.

12. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

[Note: the passage clearly teaches that Christ is God!]

NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT change 'Christ' to 'God' in v. 10.

NOTE: This corruption also denies the truth of Jesus' statement in John 5:22 that

all judgment has been committed unto Him. ["For the Father judgeth no man, buthath committed all judgment unto the Son:"] This is a very strange oversight bythe authors of the perversions, since they all left that statement in John intact for

the most part. This of course creates a contradiction, which does not exist in theKing James Bible. There is a similar change at Rev. 20:12.

Revelation 1:6:11

KJV: 6. "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father: to him beglory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see him and they also,which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even

so, Amen.

8. "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty...I was in the Spiriton the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I

am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in abook, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia..."




6/25

NIV, NAS, NKJ, NLT, RSV Change "God and his Father:" in v 6 to "His God and

Father."

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV Delete "I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last "from v. 11.

2 Thessalonians 2:2

KJV "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, norby word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand."

This verse shows that the New Testament 'Day of Christ' is the Old Testament 'Dayof the Lord,' that Christ is the Lord of the Old Testament.

NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT change 'Christ' to 'the Lord.'

1 Corinthians 10:9

KJV: "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were

destroyed of serpents."

NAS, NIV, RSV - change 'Christ' to 'the Lord' another denial that Jesus is Jehovahof the Old Testament.

1 Peter 3:15

KJV: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts."

NAS, NIV, NLT, RSV change 'Lord God' to 'Christ as Lord.'

Is this the mother of 'Lordship Salvation?' Your call.

Micah 5:2

KJV: "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousandsof Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."

NIV, RSV, NLT all change 'from everlasting' to 'from ancient times.' [Or similar

wording,] denying Christ's eternal existence.

1 Corinthians 12:3

KJV: "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of

God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but bythe Holy Ghost."

NIV, NAS, NLT, NKJ, RSV ALL change 'THE LORD' to 'Lord.' This simple littledeletion of a tiny little word subtly denies the deity of Christ again.




7/25

The point being made here is that a direct statement denying Christ's divinity

would cause too much consternation among well versed Bible readers. The well-placed changes leave room for interpretations that fit the agenda of theantichrist. The time worn adage that these 'new translations' make the Bible easierto understand just does not hold water. All these things do is create doubt anddissention, which are wiles of Satan

Part Four

Times have changed, but God Almighty has not announced any changes to HisWord and Law.

NOTE: This perversion makes Jesus equal to saints and angels, denies that He isthe Son of God, and also denies that He is the Christ.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 - "To the end He may stablish your hearts in holiness beforeGod, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints."

Matthew 25:31 - "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy

angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory."

John 6:69

King James nd we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, theSon of the living God.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

Change Christ, the Son of the living Godto Holy One ofGod.

John 9:35

King James esus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had

found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Sonof God?

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

change Son of Godto Son of Man.

Acts 3:13,26King James 13. The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the

God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye

delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate,hen he was determined to let him go. 26. Unto you first

God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you,in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

NIV, RSV, all change Son to Servant.




8/25

NOTE: If we are "no more a servant, but a son", how much more is Jesus, theeternal Son of God, a son and not a servant?

The word slave appears in the entire Bible only one time in Jeremiah 2:14:

"Is Israel a servant? Is he a homeborn slave? Why is he spoiled?"

The plural slaves appears only once in Revelation 18:13: "And cinnamon, andodours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and

wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls ofmen." The perversions could only be acting to replace servant with that word. Seewhat happens when an effort is made to make the Word of God conform to thesatanic heart of lost men?

NLT, NAS

Galatians 4:7King James herefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a

son, then an heir of God through Christ.

NIV, RSV, NKJNLT, NAS

all change Servant to Slave. They also delete the nameChrist, either changing it to Godor just deleting that entire

portion of the passage.

Acts 4:27,30King James 27. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou

has anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the

Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together.30. By stretching forth thine hand to heal, and that signsand wonders may be done by the name of thy holy childesus.

NIV, RSV, NKJNLT, NAS

ll change holy childto holy servant in both verses.

Acts 8:36-37King James 36. And the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth

hinder me to be baptized? 37. And Philip said, If thoubelievest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And heanswered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son ofGod.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

ll delete verse 37, although some try to cover this bymaking totally false footnote statements about it not beingin the Majority Text. If not in the Majority [Received] Text,

it would NOT appear in the King James Bible!




9/25

NOTE: This deletion also denies the apostolic [Baptist] doctrine of Believer's

Baptism, requiring that a person believe the Gospel prior to being baptized. Thismakes the Bible more palatable to Catholics and Protestants, both of whichpractice infant baptism.

Part Five

A concerted move is made in most perversions to remove the title Christ from

Jesus. I just had a gift of a NWT of the Jehovah's Witness cult. It compares almostverbatim with the NIV, but will indicate any places in my commentary where thereappears to be some disagreement between those particular two perversions. Someexamples of the denial of Jesus as the Christ follow:

Luke 2:33

King James nd Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things whichere spoken of him.

NIV, RSV, NKJ,NLT, NAS

ll either changeJoseph and his motherto his mother andather, or make annotations that it is

improper .translation. NOTE: This corruption denies theirgin birth of Christ, which means Christ's deity. Jesus

could not be both the son of God and the son of Joseph.

Luke 2:43

King James nd when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, thechild Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and hismother knew not of it.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

ll changeJoseph and his motherto his parents. Of course,there are other variations in the verses. After all, theperversions are dealing with copyright laws, and all of them

are jealous of their cash cows.

Ephesians 3:14

King James For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lordesus Christ.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

ll delete Of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 4:42

King James ...for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is

indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

NIV, RSV, ll delete the Christ. NKJ leaves the word, but suggests it




10/25

NOTE: This antichrist corruption also denies that the Christ would come in the

flesh. This will be brought up again in a succeeding portion of this article denotingthe denial of the incarnation of Christ

See other deletions ofChrist in the NIV at: Acts 15:11, 16:31, 20:21, Romans 1:16,16:20, 16:24 [entire verse deleted from NIV,] 1 Corinthians 5:4, 9:1,18. 16:22-23,2 Corinthians 11:31, Galatians 3:17, 4:7 [virtually all the perversions, includingNKJ, change the word servant to slave. It is as if there were no servants in biblical

times that were not free men who worked in a service. Today's waiters, bellhops,

barbers, and a myriad of other service professions would be considered in slavery

NLT, NAS may not be properly used there! ALL of the perversions,including the 21st Century NKJ, all delete the letter 'u' fromSaviour. This sole form of that particular word did notcome into common usage for some years AFTER the Kingames Bible was translated.

Matthew 23:8

King James But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, evenChrist, and all ye are brethren.

NIV, RSV,

NLT, NAS

ll delete even Christ. NKJ includes the word with a

footnote again casting doubt on whether or not thetranslators had a clue as to the truth.

Luke 4:41King James nd devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying,

hou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them

suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he wasChrist.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

ll delete the former Christ and retain the latter. NLTchanges the second Christ to Messiah. NKJ includes both,but again with a footnote on the first one that leaves thereader in doubt.

Acts 2:30

King James herefore being a prophet, and knowing that God hadsworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on histhrone.

NIV, RSV,

NLT, NAS

ll delete according to the flesh, and change Christ to One

of his descendants. NLT goes even further to identify Davidas the seed of the Messiah, not God.




11/25

if the same connotation applied in this century! All servants are NOT SLAVES! 1

Thessalonians 3:11, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, Hebrews 3:1, 1 John 1:7, Revelation 1:9,12:17 et al.

NOTE: New-Agers teach that Christ-consciousness was attained by Jesus, but canalso be attained by others, and that another Christ is coming.

DENIAL THAT JESUS IS LORD

See the same deletions at: 2 Timothy 4:1, Acts 19:10, 1 Corinthians 16:22

THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF THE MOST BLASPHEMOUS ACTS OF THE

PERVERSIONS, WHICH IS EQUATING JESUS WITH LUCIFER

Luke 23:42

King James nd he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou

comest into thy kingdom.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

ll remove Lord. NKJ inserts it, but again with a footnotethat puts the whole passage in question again.

1 Corinthians 15:47King James he first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is theLord from heaven.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

all remove the Lord. NKJ again includes the footnotedinsertion, leaving the reader to determine if it belongs inthe word of God!.

2 Corinthians 4:10King James lways bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord

esus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest inour body.

NIV, RSV,

NLT, NAS

all delete the Lord.

Isaiah 14:12-15

King James How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of themorning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which did

eaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I willascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the starsof God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of

the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be

brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.NIV, RSV, all change hell to the grave in v. 15 and change Lucifer to




12/25

NOTE; JESUS, NOT LUCIFER, IS THE MORNING STAR

Revelation 22:16 - KJV: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you thesethings in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright

and morning star.

New Agers deny that Lucifer is Satan, deny the bodily resurrection of Christ, and

teach that Isaiah 14 is about Jesus, not Lucifer. Both Mormons and Jehovah's

Witnesses teach that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.

I mentioned earlier that the Incarnation of Christ (that God became Man) would bedenied by the perversions of the Word. The following should demonstrate that factwell.

1 John 4:3 - KJV:And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in

the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heardthat it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

NAS: and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is thespirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is

already in the world.

NIV: but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is thespirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already inthe world.

NLT: If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such aperson has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here.

RSV: and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spiritof antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world

already.

NOTE: Because the new perversions deny that God [Christ] has come in the flesh

[1 Timothy 3:16, Acts 2:30,] they have to revise the antichrist test! This blatantcorruption alone shows that the new perversions are antichrist.

ACCUSING JESUS OF SIN

NLT, NAS orning Starin v. 12.

Matthew 5:22aKing James But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother

ITHOUT A CAUSE [emphasis mine] shall be in danger ofthe judgment...

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

all delete without a cause - making it a sin to be angry. NKJagain uses the slick footnote and leaves you guessing just

hat is said.




13/25

Compare with Matthew 21:12 and John 2:15, where Jesus drove out the

moneychangers. Some use this passage in the new perversions to argue thqt Jesussinned by being angry in this instance.

There are quite a few more items to bring to bear before this study is finished.Next we will check on the Denial that Jesus was worshipped, of Jesus role in

Creation, that He ascended into heaven, and some of the heinous deletions thatmake denial of Christs doctrine seem logical when viewed through the deleted

perversions. You will be amazed at the complex distortions that were made, notfor the interest of forwarding the Gospel, but in the interest of protecting

copyrights and the cash flow to the godless authors of perversity.

Part Six

This study will give exposure to the need for the Word of God to be perfect andwithout controversial man-made and Satan-directed changes, additions, anddeletions. Many will not take the time to verify these facts. I suggest that failure

to see and understand the importance of being misled by perverted 'scripture' isthe paving stones on the road to destruction of body and soul.

To ensure that the deity of Christ is placed in doubt, one of the most importantthings for the fathers of perversion is to carefully suggest is that He did not ascendinto heaven. Two of the most critical passages are included below:

Note: I discovered something very amazing to me while running comparisons of

various perversions. This was in the NWT of the Jehovah's Witnesses who deny thedeity and salvation afforded by Christ. This will be the source of another writing in

the future. Keep in mind the fact that I hold deep Christian love for all those whoare victims of these heresies, and that exposure of false doctrines in them is done

because I care for the salvation of their souls.

Again, I want to remind the reader that these apparent 'small' changes or deletions

John 3:13

King James nd no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that camedown from heaven, even the Son of man which is inheaven.

NIV, RSV,

NLT, NAS

ll delete which is in heaven. NKJ and NLT both footnote to

create confusion as to which is correct.

John 16:16

King James little while and ye shall not see me: and again, a littlehile, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

NIV, RSV,

NLT, NAS,NWT

ll delete because I go to the Father.




14/25

leave the door open for conflicting conclusions. That is the reason these things are

so dangerous. When read by an un-believer, he can draw conclusions that do notfit the facts.

We will now observe some more changes and deletions, which put a heavy strainon the doctrines, taught by Christ. For the rest of this study, I will only mention

NKJ when there is a profound difference. The authors of this particular 'version'have put controversy and confusion in their work through constant footnotes

referring to 'manuscripts' which have not been available for centuries. My ownopinion is that if I had to pick a 'worst of the bad,' that it may even replace the

NIV at the top of my list.

Matthew 5:44

NIV, NLT, NAS, RSV, NWT - delete bless them that curse you, do good to them

that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matthew 9:13

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, NWT - delete to repentance

Matthew 15:8

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, NWT - delete draweth nigh unto me with their mouth.

Matthew 18:11

11. For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost... Completely deleted

from NIV, RSV, NLT, and NWT. Footnoted out of NKJ and NAS.

Matthew 19:9

This passage is so brutally mutilated by all the perversions, that an entire page

could be devoted to it. One thing common to all is the total deletion ofand whoso

marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Matthew 20:7

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, and NWT - all delete ...and whatsoever is right, that shall ye

receive.

Matthew 20:16

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, and NWT - all deletefor many be called, but few chosen.

Matthew 23:14

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses,and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore ye shall receive the greater




15/25

damnation.

This passage is completely deleted from NIV, NLT, RSV, and NWT. NKJ and NASfootnote it to be an older manuscript. [My question: who decided to remove thisfrom the older manuscript, if indeed they had access to the dust it haddegenerated into by the time this perversion was written?]

Mark 7:8

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV and NWT all delete "as the washing of pots and cups: and

many other such like things you do."

Mark 7:16

16. If an man have ears to hear, let him hear".

NIV, NLT, RSV, and NWT all delete this entire verse. NAS and NKJ footnote it intoirrelevance.

Mark 8:26

NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV and NWT all delete "nor tell it to any in the town."

Part Seven

Denial of the Triune God

Most Christians believe in the Triune God, in one way or another, but those whowould destroy this belief really pulled out the stops on this one. The acceptance

of the mystery of the Trinity is just too much for the doubters that started theattack on the Word. The way to get past this problem was to deny it, and they did

a good job of trying.

King James 55. But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knownot what manner of spirit ye are of. 56. For the Son ofman is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

nd they went to another village.

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS,

NWT

ll the perversions have mutilated this two verse passage alittle differently, but the end result is to either delete and

ignore, or to include and footnote out, the following: 55:delete ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56:delete For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's

lives, but to save them.

John 6:47

King James erily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hatheverlasting life.

NIV, RSV,

NAS, NWT

ll delete on me except [my surprise] the NLT, which only

changes the wording a bit. Without those two words, thenew age perverts are free to insert whatever they think weshould believe in to be saved.

1 John 5:6-8King James 6.This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus

Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it isthe Spirit that beareth witness, because he Spirit is truth.7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the

Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three areone. 8. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the

Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agreein one.

NIV, NWT,

RSV,NLT, NAS

ll delete verse 7 completely and invent their own fixture

in its place. NONE of them are worded identically. If Godsord is pure, true, and perfect, there is a problem here!




18/25

The Demasculinisation of God [Changing Him to The One]

In the perversions, there are many different changes and references, whichremove the masculine identity of God. Following are some examples: Matt. 13:37,Luke 10:16, 12:5, John 4:25, 6:46, 12:45, 15:21, Acts 7:38, 10:42, 22:9, 1 Cor.

15:28, Col. 3:10, Heb. 5:7, 7:21, 1 Peter 1:15, Rev. 1:18, 2:1.

NOTE; I am not a Greek scholar, but am told by one who is that all references to

God are clearly masculine. This heresy sets the stage for global worship of theNew Age mother Goddess, "the virgin."

Removal of God's Name[YHWH, or Jehovah; where context demands its inclusion]

Acts 17:29

King James Forasmuch as we are the offspring of God, we ought not tothink that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,

graven by art and mans device.

NIV, NWT,RSV,

NLT, NAS, NKJ

ll delete Godheadand insert Divine being or DivineNature. The same is done in Romans 1:20 and Colossians

2:9, except NKJ which could not make up its mind andused Godhead, although in different context.

John 7:18

King James He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but hethat seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, andno unrighteousness is in him.

NIV "He who speaks on his own does so to honor himself, but heho works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man

of truth; there is nothing false about him."NAS "He who speaks from himself seeks is own glory; but He

ho is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is

true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

Exodus 6:3

King James nd I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH

as I not known to them.NIV, RSV, NKJ

NLT, NAS

ll change JEHOVAH to the Lord.

Psalm 83:18

King James hat men may know that thou, whose name alone is

EHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.NIV, RSV, NKJ

NLT, NAS

ll change JEHOVAH to the Lord.




19/25

The same change may be seen at Gen. 22:14, Judges 6:24, Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4

NOTE; Identification of God as Jehovah or Yahweh is taboo to ecumenical New-Agers who want a global religion and want to say we all worship the same God.

Corruption of the Gospel[Deny mans need for salvation]

[Pagan pantheism, God is all and in all]

NOTE: If God is IN ALL, there is no need for anyone to get saved: His is already in

everyone! Paul was talking to the believers in Ephesus, not to the world.

Change Belief to Obedience

Make Salvation Difficult

Matt. 7:14 - Perversions change strait or narrowto difficult way.

Ephesians 4:6King James One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all

and in you all.

NIV, RSV, NWTNLT, NAS

change in you all to in all.

Romans 11:32King James For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might

have mercy upon all.NIV, RSV, NWTNLT, NAS, NKJ

ll change unbeliefto disobedience. Same change atHebrews 3:18, 4:6,11; John 3:36.

John 9:35King James esus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had

found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Sonof God?

NIV, RSV,NLT, NAS

change Son of Godto Son of Man.

Mark 10:24

King James nd the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesusanswereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard

is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdomof God!

NIV, RSV, NWTNLT, NAS

ll deletefor them that trust in riches.




20/25


21/25

NOTE: If God is already in all, what is the necessity for salvation? Paul wasspeaking to a congregation of saved believers, not making a general statement to

whomsoever reads the epistle.

Changing "IS SAVED" to "WAS SAVED"

[Changes secure state of eternal salvation to a past event of initiation]

1 Corinthians 1:2,5; 6:11 Perversions change are washed, sanctified, justified, towere.

Ephesians 2:8 Changes from are saved to have been saved. This leaves the dooropen to claim the possibility that salvation can be lost.

Colossians 2:10; 2:20 and 3:1,3 Perversions change be risen and are deadto havebeen raised and died.

1 Timothy 6:12 Change art called to were called.

NIV "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, theold has gone, the new has come."

NAS "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature, theold things have passed away; new things have come."

Ephesians 4:6King James One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through

all, and in you all.NIV, RSV "One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all

and in all."NAS "One God and Father of all who is over all and through all

and in all."

John 1:12King James But as many as received him, to them gave he power to

become sons of God, even to them that believe on hisname:

NIV, NASNLT, NKJ

"All changepowerto right. Translators of NKJ did not evenfootnote this one, they wanted to be certain to pass on thebelief that God did not invest power in ANY man."

John 1:12

King James But as many as received him, to them gave he power tobecome sons of God, even to them that believe on hisname:

NIV, NASNLT, NKJ

"All changepowerto right. Translators of NKJ did not evenfootnote this one, they wanted to be certain to pass on thebelief that God did not invest power in ANY man."




22/25

2 Timothy 2:11 Change be deadto died

1 Peter 1:23 Change being born again to have been born again.

NOTE: Initiation rites are central to all forms of Luciferian cultic worship.

Removing Christ from the Gospel

Denial of Believer's Baptism

One very flagrant example here should suffice.

Romans 1:16

King James For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is thepower of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; tothe Jew first, and also to the Greek.

NIV, NASNKJ, RSV

"All change fromgospel of Christ togospel."

Romans 15:29King James nd I am sure, that when I come unto you, I shall come inthe fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

NIV, NASNKJ, RSV

"All changegospel of Christ to Christ."

1 Corinthians 9:18

King James hat is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach thegospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge,

that I abuse not my power in the gospel.NIV, NASRSV

"All change Christ to It. NKJ inserts Christ, but with theiridiotic footnote that says it does not belong there."

John 6:47King James erily, verily, I say unto you, that He that believeth on me

hath everlasting life.NIV, NASRSV

"All delete on me. Again NKJ has it with the devil'sfootnote."

Acts 8:37King James nd Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou

mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that JesusChrist is the Son of God.




23/25

Denial of the Importance of God's Word

Conclusion

But the new versions are easier to read [NOT!]

Many Christians prefer the new perversions because they are under the illusionthat they are easier to read than the King James Version. However, the KJV ranksactually easier than the new versions in 23 out of 26 comparisons on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level indicator [5th grade reading level,] and in most verses is easierfor children to read. In most passages the new perversions have replaced simple,one-syllable words from the KJV with more complex multi-syllable words. This wasdone because the new perversions are copyrighted [$!] which the KJV is NOT.Copyright laws require the publishers to make substantial changes in text from theKJV.

Examples:

NIV, NAS, NLT, NKJ, RSV All change newto 'unshrunk' in Mark 2:21

The variety of word uses amongst all the perversions in some of the followingverses is a good example of 'Scripture du jour' for those who want to make theWord fit their own idea of what God intended to say. Mat. 8:11, Lk. 5:29, Mat.11:26, Lk. 10:21, Jn. 7:8, Acts 11:24,26, Col. 2:13, 2 Thes. 2:3, Acts 25:20, Acts27:30, Acts 19:23.

NIV, RSV "Both delete the entire verse. NKJ and NAS both claim it isnot in the text of the majority, which of course if a flagrantlie."

Luke 4:4King James nd Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That manshall not live by bread alone but by every word of God.

NIV, NASRSV

"All delete but by every word of God."

Hebrews 4:12

King James For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharperthan any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing

asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

NIV, NASRSV

"All delete quick and powerful and insert active"




24/25

Inasmuch as over 6,000 changes and deletions have been executed by theperversions, there is no limit to the number of places that the text of the KingJames Version has been corrupted by them. Note 1 below sources many of them.

Because of copyright laws, the new perversions can never use as simple words asthe King James Version.

Some readers object to the KJV's use of archaic words like thee, thou, thine, andye. However, these words were used [even after they had begun to cease fromEnglish conversational use,] to convey the singularity or plurality of the person[s]addressed. This is conveyed in the Greek and Hebrew, but is not possible usingonly the common English pronouns "you" or "your". When Jesus said to thePharisees in John 8:44, "ye are of your father the devil" we know from the KJVthat he was speaking to the entire group, not just one individual. Similarly, in theKJV the singular terms the and thou means 'you alone,' and thine means 'yoursalone [for Thine is the kingdom" Matt. 6:13.] These distinctions from the originalmanuscripts are lost in the new perversions. The few problems with other archaicterms used in the KJV such as suffer [permit,] prevent [precede,] etc, can beeasily overcome with a brief education in the definitions and usage of these terms.

NOTE: A copy of Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Languageis a perfect companion to the serious reader of the Word of God.

To understand the very serious business of keeping the Word of God pure andinerrant, just as it is promised, it would be most helpful for the reader to taketime to read the message to the readers of the King James Version from thetranslators who worked so faithfully and diligently to keep it perfect.

God takes His Word very seriously. He has even magnified His Word above Hisname [Ps 138:2,] and expects His children to tremble at his word [Isaiah 66:5.]Despite all of Satan's efforts to destroy it, God has preserved His Word. Thegreatest group of Bible and language scholars ever assembled rejected the corruptAlexandrine Text available to them, and following the traditional text which Godpreserved through the ages, produced the King James Version. In light of theSatanically inspired deletions and substitutions made in the new perversions, thereis no excuse for any Christian who has been presented with this information tocontinue using any of the new perversions of God's Holy Word, which has beenpreserved for us only in the Authorized King James Version.

I will return from time to time with some in-depth studies of some of theperversions and the heresies they contain. Inquiry and comment is welcome.

Please, if you want to denigrate or criticize the above studies, include source ofyour contradictory information. The most common thing I hear is that 'the original'scriptures convey different thoughts than those I adhere to. If there exists a singleword of any original manuscript, what in the name of heaven is it written on?

God Bless
