Another King James Bible Critic

by David J. Stewart

       Some of the most hateful e-mails I get are from professing Christians who hate the King James Bible.  I don't like to call the King James Bible a "version," because God promised to PRESERVE His Word (Psalm 12:6,7), not a version.  Modernists try to convince us that no Bible is 100% accurate.  How in the world can such a person witness to the lost and convince them that Jesus is the Son of God, if they don't even know whether or not the Bible they hold in their hand is God's Word? 

I recently received a letter from a man, accusing King James of being a homosexual.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  According to Dr. Samuel C. Gipp, Th.D., in his scholarly work, The Answer Book, he answers the question, "Was king James a homosexual?"...

No. King James I of England, who authorized the translation of the now famous King James Bible, was considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, monarchs that England has ever seen.

Through his wisdom and determination he united the warring tribes of Scotland into a unified nation, and then joined England and Scotland to form the foundation for what is now known as the British Empire.

    At a time when only the churches of England possessed the Bible in English, King James' desire was that the common people should have the Bible in their native tongue. Thus, in 1603, King James called 54 of history's most learned men together to accomplish this great task. At a time when the leaders of the world wished to keep their subjects in spiritual ignorance, King James offered his subjects the greatest gift that he could give them. Their own copy of the Word of God in English.

    James, who was fluent in Latin, Greek, and French, and schooled in Italian and Spanish even wrote a tract entitled "Counterblast to Tobacco",which was written to help thwart the use of tobacco in England.

    Such a man was sure to have enemies. One such man, Anthony Weldon, had to be excluded from the court. Weldon swore vengeance. It was not until 1650, twenty-five years after the death of James that Weldon saw his chance. He wrote a paper calling James a homosexual. Obviously, James, being dead, was in no condition to defend himself.

    The report was largely ignored since there were still enough people alive who knew it wasn't true. In fact, it lay dormant for years, until recently when it was picked up by Christians who hoped that vilifying King James, would tarnish the Bible that bears his name so that Christians would turn away from God's book to a more "modern" translation.

    It seems though, that Weldon's false account is being once again largely ignored by the majority of Christianity with the exception of those with an ulterior motive, such as its author had.
It might also be mentioned here that the Roman Catholic Church was so desperate to keep the true Bible out of the hands of the English people that it attempted to kill King James and all of Parliament in 1605.

    In 1605 a Roman Catholic by the name of Guy Fawkes, under the direction of a Jesuit priest by the name of Henry Garnet, was found in the basement of Parliament with thirty-six barrels of gunpowder which he was to use to blow up King James and the entire Parliament. After killing the king, they planned on imprisoning his children, re-establishing England as a state loyal to the Pope and kill all who resisted. Needless to say, the perfect English Bible would have been one of the plot's victims. Fawkes and Garnet and eight other conspirators were caught and hanged.

It seems that those who work so hard to discredit the character of King James join an unholy lot.

King James was no homo.  But if you want to find some homos that helped translate the Bible, look no further than the translating committee of the New International Version (NIV).  Can you imagine... homosexuals involved with translating the Word of God?  Is it any wonder why the word "sodomite" has been completely stricken from the NIV?  And go figure, the NIV is by far the most popular Bible in America today amongst pastors and Christian laymen.  Sad.

Let the heathen rage, God is still on His throne!  To those who love the Lord Jesus Christ enough to protect the Doctrine of Christ (2nd John 1:9), the King James Bible is unquestionably the ONLY Bible standing true to that purpose.  ALL modern versions attack the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, the blood of Jesus, the Godhead, the reality of Hellfire, and the sinlessness of Christ.  Don't believe it?  Hundreds of words, phrases, and even entire Bible verses were removed from the Word of God by the NIV butchers.  Take a look at all the words REMOVED just from the New International version alone...

Whereas the King James Bible mentions the "Godhead" three times, the NIV has completely removed the word.  You won't find the word "propitiation" in the NIV either.  In fact, all of the following words have been removed from the Bible by the NIV butchers: regeneration, mercyseat, Calvary, remission, Jehovah, immutable, omnipotent, Comforter, Holy Ghost, Messiah, quickened, infallible, et cetera.  One of the most blasphemous omissions in the NIV is in John 3:16 where Jesus is no longer proclaimed as the "only BEGOTTEN Son of God." 

Yes, that's right, the NIV butchers removed the word "begotten" from John 3:16.  How in the name of truth and justice could any professed Christian use the New International Version?  Yet, it's the most popular bible version sold on the market today.  If I had a billion dollars, I'd make an offer to churches all across America.  I'd exchange brand new King James Bibles for their perverted NIVs.  I'd give them new Bibles for their old corrupt bibles.  They would first have to give me their NIVs so I could BURN THEM!  I'd burn every NIV I could find. 

That's not all that the wicked NIV deceivers took out of the Bible.  The word "sodomite" is completely gone, as is the words: fornication, trucebreakers, winebibbers, carnal, slothful, unthankful, effeminate, backbiting, vanity, lasciviousness, whoredom, devils, Lucifer, damnation, brimstone, and the bottomless pit.  I'm not kidding, go check for yourself!  All these words in the King James Bible have been stricken from the New International Version.  We ought to call it the H.I.V., because it's more deadly than the AIDS virus. 

2nd Timothy 2:15 instructs each believer to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  Well, the NIV removes the word "study" from this verse.  To no surprise, Paul's admonition against "science falsely so called" in 1st Timothy 6:20 is gone too, and there are no longer any fables to avoid.  Of the 54 times "hell" is mentioned in the King James Bible, the NIV reduces it down to 14 times.  The King James Bible states in 1st Timothy 3:16 that "GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH"; but the NIV waters it down to... he was revealed in a body.  In Philippians 2:6 of the NIV Jesus is no longer EQUAL with God; but rather, could not grasp equality with God.  The NIV is Wicked!  Vile!  Blasphemy!

Why would anyone use the NIV?
