Note:Of over 5300 pieces of manuscript evidence, ninety-five percent supports the 1611 King James Bible! (I'm speaking here about the original 1611 KJV, not the New King James Version, which was first published in 1979. (Although I don't personally have a copy of the New King James Version, I am told that there were over 100,000 translation changes made from the original version. These changes in the new versions of the Bible, are based on the remaining five percent of manuscripts, most of which are from Alexandria, Egypt. (There are only two lines of Bibles: the Devil's line from Alexandria, and the Lord's line from Antioch.)
The Syrian text from Antioch is the Majority text from which our original King James 1611 comes, and the Egyptian text is the Minority text from which the new perversions come.
The manuscripts from Antioch were mostly copied by Bible-believing Christians for the purpose of winning souls and spreading the word of God.
Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:"
Did you get that? Don't let the "tradition of men" spoil you. Don't let the elements, and rudiments of the world spoil and draw you away from the faith that you have in Christ Jesus. Philosophy is the reasoning by man to justify the guilt that comes by his evil works. When they/you reason away the sins you have done, your conscience will not bother you. The Kenites (Cain's grand-children and therefore, also Satan's grand-children) are skilled in the philosophy bringing people down by their vain deceit, which is their boastful pride. That is what caused Satan's fall and that is also what will bring down many Christians.
1. Egypt is first mentioned in connection with Abraham not trusting Egyptians around his wife (Gen. 12:10-13).
2. One of the greatest types of Christ in the Bible was sold into Egypt as a slave (Gen. 37:36).>
3. Joseph did not want his bones left in Egypt (Gen. 50:25).
4. God killed all the firstborn of Egypt (Exo. 12:12).
5. God calls Egypt "the house of bondage" (Exo. 20:4).
6. God calls Egypt an "iron furnace" (Deu. 4:20).
7. The Kings of Israel were even forbidden to get horses from Egypt (Deu. 17:16), so why should we look there for a Bible?
8. The Jews were forbidden to go to Egypt for help (Jer. 42:13-19).
9. God plans to punish Egypt (Jer. 46:25).
10. God calls His Son out of Egypt (Hos. 11:1; Mat. 2:15).
11. Egypt is placed in the same category as Sodom (Rev. 11:8).
12. The first time Alexandria is mentioned in the Bible, it is associated with unbelievers, persecution, and the eventual death of Stephen (Acts 6:9; 7:54-60).
13. The next mention of Alexandria involves a lost preacher who has to be set straight on his doctrine (Acts 18:24-26).
14. The last two times we read about Alexandria is in Acts 27:6 and Acts 28:11. Here we learn that Paul was carried to his eventual death in Rome by two ships from Alexandria .
Alexandria was the second largest city of the Roman Empire, with Rome being the first. It was founded in 332 B.C. by Alexander the Great (a type of the Antichrist in Daniel 8). Located at the Nile Delta, Alexandria was the home of the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient world. Also, during the second and third centuries B.C., it was the home of a massive library containing between 500,000 and 700,000 volumes. It was also the home of a catechetical school once headmastered by the great apostate Adamantius Origen (185-254 A.D.).
QUESTION:
In light of what God's word says about higher knowledge and philosophy
(I Cor. 1:22; Rom. 1:22; Gen. 3:5; Col. 2:8; I Cor. 8:1), why would any
serious Christian expect to find the true word of God in Alexandrian
manuscripts?
1. Upon it's first mention, we find that Antioch is the home of a Spirit-filled deacon (Acts 6:3-5). Do you suppose it is a mere accident that the Holy Spirit first mentions Antioch in the same chapter where He first mentions Alexandria?
2. In Acts 11:19, Antioch is a shelter for persecuted saints.
3. The first major movement of the Holy Ghost among the Gentiles occurs in Antioch (Acts 11:20-21).
4. Paul and Barnabas taught the Bible in Antioch for a whole year (Acts 11:26).
5. The disciples were first called "Christians" at Antioch (Acts 11:26).
6. The church at Antioch sends relief to the poor saints at Jerusalem (Acts 11:27-30).
7. The first missionary journey is sent out from Antioch (Acts 13:1-3).
8. Antioch remains the home base or headquarters of the early church (Acts 14:19-26; 15:35).
9. The final decision of the Jerusalem council was first sent to Antioch (Acts 15:19-23, 30), because Antioch was the home base.
10. Antioch was the location of Paul setting Peter straight on his doctrine (Gal. 2:11).
Founded in 300 B.C. by Seleucus Nicator, Antioch was the third largest city of the Roman Empire. Located in Syria, about twenty miles inland from the Mediterranean on the Orontes River, Antioch had it's own sea port and more than it's share of travelers and tradesmen. In His infinite wisdom, God picked the ideal location for a "home base". Antioch was far enough away from the culture and traditions of the Jews (Jerusalem and Judaea) and the Gentiles (Rome, Greece, Alexandria, etc) that new Christians could grow in the Lord. Meanwhile, it's geographical location was ideal for taking God's word into all the world.
So, you have a choice. You can get your Bible from Alexandria, or you can get it from Antioch.
The following are examples of what is happening as compared to the original King James 1611 version, which is by far the most accurate of any Bible translation of the Bible into English to date:
The original King James 1611 version says - Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
The New Revised Standard version says - the young women is with child
They left out the virgin conception!
The original King James 1611 version says - 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
The New International version says - He appeared in a body
who came is the flesh.
The original King James 1611 version says - Luke 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.
The New International version and The New Revised Standard version both say - The child's father
They leave the door open for claims that Jesus was only human! Don't you see the KJV makes it clear that Mary was His flesh and blood mother but Joseph was not a blood relative.
flesh and blood father!
You should Remember the virgin gave birth! Even if you grew up in a denominational church!
But your children and your grandchildren won't! Unless you tell them!; and do it early in their lives!
The original King James 1611 version says - Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
The New International version says - you have fallen from heaven, O morning star
They call Lucifer Morning Star when Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star
Jesus Himself told us in Rev. 22:16 that He is the morning star.
Actually, The New International version in Isaiah 14:12 not only referred to the morning star falling from heaven but didn't mention Lucifer as being the person referred to. So therefore, they could later make the claim that it was Christ who was fallen from heaven!.
there are more revisions coming!
We ain't seen nothing yet!
The original King James 1611 version says - Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
The New International version says - the fourth looks like a son of the gods (not the Son and not God) The New Revised version says - fourth has appearance of a god
Note: Both revised versions use lower case letters, for God, as in any old god or multiple gods, not the One and Only True God. The Revised Standard version doesn't even acknowledge Him as a son, much less "The Son"!
The original King James 1611 version says - Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
The New International version says - redemption, the forgiveness of sins (No mention of his blood) The New Revised Standard version says - same thing - redemption, the forgiveness of sins (No mention of his blood)
The original King James 1611 version says - Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
The New Revised Standard version says - same thing. or should I say "Left out the same thing".
They just didn't include the verse in their Bible!
The other sixteen missing verses are:
Matthew 17:21;18:11; 23:14; Mark 7:16; 9:44,46; 11:26; 15:28; Luke 17:36; 23:17; John 5:4; Acts 15:34; 24:7; 28:29; Romans 16:24; & 1 John 5:7. These verses deal with doctrines of great importance: like the Trinity, hell, salvation, and prayer. Other passages remain in the NIV but the marginal notes discredit them. These notes reveal that the NIV translators would have preferred to leave them out Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11. That's an additional 24 verses, but, I suppose they couldn't leave out 24 verses in just 2 passages of scripture with out it being noticed!
There are also words that have disappeared from the NIV. Biblically significant words like "Godhead", "Jehovah", or "blessed and only potentate", "Holy Ghost", "Comforter". God is no longer "immutable" or "omnipotent" in the NIV.
Christ is no longer the "only begotten." We no longer need to worry about "devils" or "Lucifer" or "brimstone" or the "bottomless pit." The KJB mentions Hell 54 times but the NIV only 14 times. There are no sodomites in the NIV either.
Even "Calvary" is missing. Did you get that? No "Calvary", and no "regeneration." Therefore, it follows that the word of God is no longer"incorruptible."
This has happened in all of those, And I quote "NEWER, EASIER TO READ TRANSLATIONS" including the New Revised Version", The New King James Version, and although I did not find it quite as bad "The Living Bible." The "Living Bible" does have other problems though.
The original King James 1611 version says - 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
The New International version says - Unlike so many we do not peddle The New Revised Standard version says - For we are not peddlers The Living Bible says - We are not like those hucksters
But corrupting the "Word of God" is what they are doing; Then, they peddle it to the unsuspecting!
The original King James 1611 version says -2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
No mention of "The Word" needing to be RIGHTLY DIVIDED!
The original King James 1611 version says -1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
The New International version and The New Revised Standard version and The Living Bible all say - knowledge (instead of science). (They wouldn't want SCIENCE, no matter how false, to get a bad rap. Would They?
(You bet they wouldn't!) Yes, lets call false science good! Let's see! We'll call it evolution!
These are just a few examples of what we are seeing and will see much more of.
Finally, in the 8th chapter of the Book of Amos, in the Old Testament of all places, we have come to the verse that fully explains what the famine of the end time is which Christ talked about in Mat. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. We need also understand that this is no longer prophecy and that we are right now in the midst of that great famine.
Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD
