The Inspired King James Bible
The 1611
King James Bible Defended
by David J. Stewart
When I was growing up, I remember my mother often
sleeping with her Bible held in her arms. I didn't think much about it at the
time, but now I look back and cherish those memories. I'd like
to now share with you the reason why I only use the King James Bible.
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
(Hebrews 1:1,2)
Jesus is called "The
Word of God" in Revelation 19:13...
"
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and
his name is called The Word of
God."
Jesus is the "Living
Word" and the Bible is the "Written Word." The Bible says
that God speaks to us nowadays through God's Son, Jesus. Since Jesus is
the Word of God, God speaks to us through His Word. I believe this Book in
the English Language is the magnificent King James Bible. I believe
all others are imposters!
The Bible tells us in
Matthew 4:4 that we are to live by "every Word" of God...
"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." (Matthew 4:4)
If I am to live by
"every word of God", then I need an EVERY WORD Bible.
Understandably,
translations in varying languages won't contain the same exact number of words,
BUT a genuine translation WILL at least convey the original meaning of the
original language. This is the beauty of the King James Bible. The
Translators were so careful with their translating that they dare not add
anything without allowing us to see exactly what they added. Hence, the italics
throughout the King James Bible. The italics were added because the
translators thought it essential to properly convey the true meaning of
the original languages. Modern translators are not as ethical.
The argument nowadays is
over which Greek and Hebrew sources are reliable. Some say that Westcott
and Hort's Greek Bible, based on the Egyptian Alexandrian Manuscripts are
reliable. By the way, the Jehovah Witnesses use Westcott and Hort's Greek
for their New World Translation. Others say that the
"Textus Receptus" (or received text) from Antioch Rome is the reliable
text. Our precious King James Bible comes from the "Textus Receptus."
By the way, all of I John 5:7 "IS" found in the Textus Receptus!
No other
"so-called" Bible available today uplifts and honors Jesus Christ as
much as the King James Bible. The King James honors Jesus Christ for Who
He truly is --God Almighty. When I had learned what I Timothy 3:16 had
been degraded to in the New International Version (NIV), I couldn't believe why
any true Christian would even consider using an NIV ever again. I Timothy
3:16 in the King James Bible says that "...God was manifest in the
flesh..." Do you know what the devil's folks have reduced it to
in the NIV? "...He was revealed in a body..."
Did
you know that the King James Bible contains dozens of references to person after
person bowing down to worship the Lord Jesus Christ? In the NIV, every
mention of the word "worship" was reduced to the mere word
"knelt." How wicked! How deceitful! You see friend,
you can kneel before a dignitary without worshipping him; however, the King
James Bible tells us that these folks WORSHIPPED Jesus!!!
To me, the
humdinger atrocity of them all is what the NIV does to John 3:16. The word
"begotten" is missing, gone, zilch. It is true that God has many
sons (you and me as adopted saints), but God only has one "begotten
Son"--Jesus Christ. How in the world can anyone accept a Bible
that removes the word "begotten" from John 3:16 is beyond me.
The NIV goes in my garbage pail!
My mama didn't have a
college degree, but she knew the Bible was God's inerrant, inspired and
preserved Word. She didn't know any Greek, but she had enough sense to
know that the Word "begotten" belonged in John 3:16. She wasn't
a scholar, but she knew that the King James's Words "God was manifest in
the flesh" made a whole lot more sense than "He was revealed in a
body." It's common sense folks! It doesn't require a knowledge
of the Greek to discern the truth, just a love of the dear Savior. Don't
tell me you love Jesus if you choose to continue using an NIV after reading
this.
The NIV also removes the
word "sodomite"--to cater to a nation that is going over a moral
waterfall. I double-dog dare you to read the introductory notes at the
beginning of any NIV bible. You'll find where they claim that their
bible is AT BEST, a flawed copy of the original. They admit that their
bible "falls short of its goals." They believe ALL bibles are
flawed (and they state so in their introductory statements in the NIV).
They do NOT believe that we have God's INERRANT and PRESERVED Word for
today. On the contrary, The King James Bible proclaims in Psalm
12:6-8
"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for
ever. The wicked walk on every
side, when the vilest men are exalted."
(Psalm 12:6-8)
Though some foolish people
have claimed that this promise of preservation refers only to the saints (rather
than God's Word), it couldn't be more obvious as to what the Bible is promising
here--"The WORDS OF THE LORD are pure." How pure? "As
silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times..."
WOW! What a contrast from the lame mumbo-jumbo in the front of every NIV
bible. Read it for yourself! You'll also find that the
"committee" (God spare us from more committees) chose to assemble a
bible which was not based on "sectarian-bias." In other words,
they wanted to reach a very large customer-base so they watered down God's Word
to appease the masses of heathen religion. I've never met a
soul-winner who wasn't a King James Bible-totin' fool for Jesus. Count me
in!!!
As I mentioned, I
grew up in a rough home. Just as my
mother desperately held to God's Word, so do I. I seek no sympathy,
everyone has problems. My faith is in the Lord and I wouldn't be here
today if His grace hadn't seen me through. I thank God with a debt of
gratitude which cannot be adequately expressed in words for the King James
Bible, it has become my life.
I feel sorry for those
believers who are still in the dark concerning the truth of God's Word. I
sincerely doubt if many of them are truly saved. I think we'd be shocked
if we knew just how many people who claim the name of Christ are not legitimate
believers. Nearly every false religion claims the name of Christ, but it
is a dead claim. The Jehovah Witnesses (a false religion) even teach
people to accept Christ as their Savior nowadays. Yet they are teaching
people to accept a Jesus (lower cap intended) who is not God; a Jesus who was once Michael the
archangel in Heaven; a Jesus Who never rose bodily from the grave; a Jesus who
is a false Jesus!!! They have not seen the true Jesus!
"And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on
him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
(John 6:40)
Have you seen the
Son? The True Son of God, Who is Almighty God! What
is the will of God to be saved according to John 6:40? First, you must
"SEE THE SON." You can believe on a fake Jesus all you want to,
but you will be ashamed someday--you will be disappointed! You will go to
hell. Second, you must "BELIEVE ON HIM." That's it
friend! To be saved, you need only to come as a hell-deserving sinner to the
Genuine Lord Jesus Christ of the King James Bible and believe on Him for the
forgiveness of your sins. Phooey on the watered-down NIV Jesus.
By the way, Philippians 2:6 in the NIV says that Jesus is NOT God. Phooey
on the
Jehovah Witnesses Jesus who is only Michael. Phooey on the Jesus of
Catholicism who is no greater than Mary in their false religion. Phooey on the Muslim
Jesus who was only a mere
prophet. Blessed be the Name of the true God --Jesus, King of kings and Lord of
lords, Eternal Almighty God, the Everlasting Father.
Yes, for me there is
ONLY one book, the old book, the King James Bible!
May God speak to your heart,
as these words have spoken to your mind.
Ye Must Be Born Again!

Righteousness! |
