Which English Bible Version Is The Best?

by David J. Stewart | October 2019

 Matthew 4:4, “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

       Which Bible is the best? The King James Bible, hands down!!! Moreover, the King James Bible is not a “version,” it is THE HOLY BIBLE! The King James is not one of many, it is one of a kind! If you don't have a King James Bible in the English-speaking language, you don't have God's Word! I say that kindly with all due respect for anyone who is reading this article. This is America, where we have the freedom to disagree with one another. A truly “free” society is only one in which it is safe to be unpopular. I thank God for the freedom to preach THE TRUTH. Sadly, that freedom is fast disappearing. Ungodly Google has censored 50-75% of my web traffic over the past 5 years! That effectively makes the U.S. a communist country.

Strangely enough, in a bit of irony, the communist country of Cuba has more freedom than Americans do! What you say? Yes, you heard right! Did you know that the government of Cuba rejected a shipment of 17,000 New International Version (NIV) Bibles? It is true, and I praise God that the Cuban government has more sense than most American pastors today! So in America where we boast of how “free” we are, tens of millions of our people are deceived by the Devil, using a corrupt Bible version that has enslaved them to believe doctrines of devils. And yet in Cuba, where the communist government only permits them to use the inspired King James Bible, they have true liberty. 2nd Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” People are getting saved in Cuba! Praise God! People are going to Hell in the United States!

The producers of the New International Version (NIV) have a website at Biblica.com (the Devil's website). On a webpage titled, “The NIV's Commitment To Accuracy,” they teach that they don't use a word-for-word process while translating, because they claim it is hard for the reader to understand. Instead, as you can read for yourself by clicking on the provided link to their website, they use a thought-for-thought process while translating, which allows them basically to say whatever they want. God said what He meant, and He meant what He said. The apostle Peter said he had difficulty understanding some of Paul's writings (2nd Peter 3:16-17). These were the original autographs of the Bible. This shows us that God never intended for all of the Holy Bible to be easy to grasp, as we see with Peter, one of Christ's very apostles. That's why we are taught to “study” the Word (2nd Timothy 2:15), and “search the Scriptures” (John 5:39).

The Devil is a liar Jesus warned. John 8:44-45, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” The plethora of modern Bible versions are corrupt! In particular, the modern Bible versions brutally attack the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is what I would do if I were the Devil, to reduce the immortal only begotten Son of God to that of being a mere mortal man. Why would someone put their trust in a mere mortal man? Satan is extremely cunning and dangerous, knowing exactly how to deceive the masses. Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Have you been deceived dear friend?

You'd think that the one place in the world, where a young person's faith would be strengthened in the inspired Words of God, would be in a Bible college or preacher's seminary. Tragically, and this is so sad, today's apostate Bible colleges are leading the way in producing graduates who deny the inspiration of the King James Bible! I'm talking about nearly every independent fundamental Baptist Bible college today (i.e., Bob Jones University, Moody Bible Institute, Ambassador Bible College, Pensacola Christian College, Hyles-Anderson College, Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary, West Coast Baptist College, The Crown College). Every one of the aforementioned shameful religious intuitions DENY THE INSPIRATION OF GOD'S WORD TODAY.

They instead speak nonsense, claiming that God has “preserved” His “pure words” (Psalms 12:6-7), while at the same time denying THE TRUTH in 2nd Timothy 3:16 that God's Word's are were (Greek: theopneustos) “GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD.” Somehow, at some point in modern times, some dimwitted intellectual convinced everybody that “inspiration” only refers to the temporary process by which God breathed His Words to holy men of old, but then those Words lost their inspiration when translated. Thus, Bible professors today propagate the erroneous belief that we have God's preserved pure words but they are not inspired, so they cannot be deemed 100% without error! That is the issue.

THE BATTLE OF THE AGES (I made this 4 hour film last year upholding the King James Bible)

Kindly, if this matter seems trifle to you dear reader, it is only because you do not see the big picture! The very backbone of the entire Bible-corrupting movement is the idea that we do not have an inspired Bible today, and that only the “original manuscripts” (which no longer exist) were inspired. So they say “at best” we only have a flawed King James Bible ('THE VOICE' magazine published in February of 2009 by the First Baptist Church of Hammond) that 54 scholars did their best, but couldn't give us a perfect translation. The fact that FBCH mentions a bunch of mistakes in the King James Bible bears witness to what I say about the dangers of denying inspiration. You need to understand dear reader that this is NOT WHAT Dr. Jack Hyles (who pastored FBCH from 1959 to 2001) believed nor taught. Listen for yourself in a very important positional statement in this 1994 sermon by Dr. Jack Hyles titled: “THE BATTLE OF THE AGES!” I understand that Brother Hyles is not God, nor is he out source for what we believe. I just want to point out that FBCH and HAC today are not faithfully representing what Dr. Hyles believed, fought and preached from the pulpit for the last 20 years of his ministry! They went back to the 1960's, claiming that Dr. Hyles himself corrected the King James Bible. That WAS TRUE in the early days of his ministry in Hammond, but Brother Hyles drastically changed his views, moving toward a truthful position. ...

Pastor Jack Hyles On The Importance Of Bible Infallibility

John 12:47-48, “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. 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.”

John 14:23, “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

Folks, I'm going to go to seed [to become worn] before I die on defending this Book—I'm going to go to seed on it! I'm a little tired—by the way, every preacher in America, before he met a theologian, believed exactly what I'm preaching tonight! Theologians messed us all up—they messed me up for a while, I'll be honest with you—messed us all up! When I went off to college, I thought I had the words of God in this Book right here. When I was in college for awhile I found out I didn't. Not only that, I found out nobody did! Not only that, I found out you couldn't have them! Not only that, I found out there was no such thing as any book in all the world that had the words of God in 'em!

But my Bible said that we're supposed to keep His “WORDS”; not His truths, not just His doctrine, but His “WORDS”! ...

Mark 8:38,“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Folks, here's what's happening in America. The old-time preachers that built this country believed that this Book right here had the words of God in it! Your grandpa and grandma, that built this country, shed their tears on this Book, thinking they had the very words of God in their hands. And fundamentalists ALL believed what I'm preaching tonight, until we got our own Bible colleges, and seminaries, and sent our professors off to train at the feet of Karl Barth, and Reinhold Neuber, Emil Brunner, and others, who said that the Bible does not have the “words” of God, it is the Word of God, and that all the Bible is not inspired word-for-word. So we did not want to be considered “unintellectual” by the intellectual community; we're not willing to be called “nuts” and “fools”—just chalk me up as a nut! Chalk me up as a fool! Yea! Chalk me up as an uneducated illiterate if you want to, but I guarantee Ya—I'd rather study my A-B-C's in Heaven, then Greek and Hebrew in Hell!

Whosoever shall be ashamed of “ME AND MY WORDS”; it didn't say His “WORD,” it says His “WORDS”!

How Bob Jones University Betrays The Holy Bible! (they have turned scholarship into a God)

If God intended for some of the original Scriptures to be hard to grasp, then who are wicked men to attempt to correct God's Word, trying to make is easier to understand. As as I just evidenced to you, the translators of the NIV had to abandon word-for-word translation and go to thought-for-thought translation in order to change what God said. Evidently they think they know more than God Himself. What sinful arrogance, and Bob Jones University supports this evil.

And so I'll continue being ostracized by the Bob Jones camp—the bad guy, the black sheep of the family, the guy they warn everyone to stay away from (lest I corrupt them with the truth), the troublemaker, the guy in a cult, the enemy. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Bob Jones University and their graduates are helping damn people to Hell, by promoting the Alexandrian Bible PERversions that corrupt the Gospel, redefining “repentance” as turning away from one's sinful bad habits, instead of a change of mind from wrong thoughts to believing the Gospel. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
