INTRODUCTION
“ Jesus
went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple…the
changers of money…He drove them all out…poured out the
changer’s money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto
them…make not My Father’s house an house of
merchandise”! (John 2:13-16)
Christ chased out
the followers of Satan at the beginning of His Ministry, and
at the end, Satan’s deceivers crept back into the Temple
of God.
This time
Jesus the Christ reminded them, “It is written, My House
shall be called The House of Prayer; but ye have made it a
den of thieves”! (Mathew 21:13) “The Sower (Christ)
soweth the Word (Holy Scripture)… Satan cometh
immediately, and taketh (the “eth” ending, implying a
continuation)
away the Word that was sown”. (Mark 4:14-15) Thus,
“…the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the Light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the Image of God, should shine
unto them”. (II Corinthians 4:4)
The purpose of this
book is to overthrow the false translator’s tables
that have taken residence in certain parts of God’s
Temple (His Holy Body and Church) to block the precious
Light of the glorious gospel of Christ. And to show the fullness
of “…the Light of the Knowledge (God’s WORD) of the
Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ!” (II
Corinthians 4:6)
God only wrote one
Bible that can be called “Holy”. It is to teach and
correct us: “All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (II
Timothy 3:16) We are not to take God’s WORD and change
(correct) it. Notice in Revelation 22:18, “For I (Jesus
Christ Himself) testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that
are written in this book: 19. And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophesy, God
shall take away his part out of the book of life,
and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are
written in this book”!
God inspired a
“Hebrew” Bible to His Hebrew people of His covenant
nation of Israel (which we commonly call “The Old
Testament”). Next, God inspired a “Greek” Scripture
(The New Testament) to be spread around a Greek speaking
world to teach the entire populace, that Christ’s
Sacrifice opened the door of Salvation to everyone (both
Jew and Gentile). Jesus himself said, “Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations”. (Mathew 28:19) Next, God
inspired a Bible for the language of today’s world:
English. In fact “THE AUTHORIZED HOLY BIBLE of 1611”
(some call the “The King James Bible) forged the
language of English to be that of the world in the 17th
through the 20th Centuries; and now continuing in
the 21st. My book will explain how this happened-
how indeed God is in charge and clearly is in control of
both the Inspiration, and the Preservation
of His Personal “Holy Word”. “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”! (Psalm 12:6-7)
This book is to
present a defense of The AUTHORIZED HOLY BIBLE of 1611,
i.e., The King James Bible (KJB), as the only
continuously preserved “Word of God” in the
English language now at 400 years, and to expose
the deception of all of the so-called modern versions of
the Bible. Paul told us “…have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
(refute and disprove) them”. (Ephesians 5:11)
My research shows
that there is a different spirit in these false versions.
The Apostle John admonishes us, “Beloved, believe not
every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of
God.” (I John 4:1-2) Notice the salient comments of the
noted Dr. Henry Morris of the Institute of Creation
Research: “The supreme test of the spirits, and the
teachers whom they influence, is their teaching concerning
the nature of Jesus Christ. They are not from God if, in
any way, they try to separate Jesus from the Christ,
denying either the full deity or perfect humanity of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Some attempt to make Jesus a mere man
upon whom the Christ-Spirit came. Some argue that everyone
can be called ‘a Christ’ in the same sense that Jesus
was. Many deny His miraculous conception, bodily
resurrection, or both. ‘Jesus’ means ‘Jehovah our
Saviour’ and ‘Christ’ means ‘The Anointed One’,
meaning God’s anointed prophet, priest and king. Unless
Jesus Christ was the perfect man, He could not die for our
sins. Unless He was God, He could not defeat death and
thus could never save us. Any doctrine is deadly heresy
other than that of Jesus Christ as the God/Man, God and
Man perfectly…Further He is the creator and His
Spirit inspired the Holy Scriptures, so any dilution
of…biblical inerrancy comes dangerously close to heresy
and has often led their proponents into outright apostasy.
It is thus extremely important to ‘try the
spirits whether they are of God’”. John further
encourages us, “We are of God: he that knoweth God
heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby
know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.”
(I John 4:6)
To illustrate this,
at least five men who were involved in these modern
translations lost their ability to speak! Time Magazine
of July, 1972 documents that Kenneth Taylor, author of the
Living Bible, “mysteriously…lost his voice.”
This is like Zacharias who didn’t believe God’s
WORDS. He was told by Gabriel (God’s Angel), “Behold,
thou shalt be dumb (mute), and not able to speak…because
thou believest not my words”. (Luke 1:19-20) Also, J.B.
Philips not only admitted being a “necromancer”, but
having to become “…a voluntary patient to a
psychiatric clinic”. This is the Philips who authored
his own translation of the New Testament. He also wrote
“…suddenly my speaking, writing, and communication
powers stopped”!
How
do we know that we have received and are led by the
correct Spirit of God?
Paul
assures us that “now we have received not the spirit of
the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God…the
natural man recieveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
For they are foolishness unto him…For
who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct
Him? But, we have the Mind of Christ”. (I
Corinthians 2:12-16)
This
is “The Spirit of Truth” that God has promised” will
guide you (us) into all truth.” (John 16:13)
Jesus
Christ prayed for us to the Father: “Sanctify them
through Thy Truth.” (John 17:17)
What
is God’s Truth?
“Thy
WORD (The Holy Scripture) is TRUTH”! (John 17:17)
So
what are we to do concerning this?
God
commands His Church in these last days, by saying, “Because
thou hast KEPT THE WORD of My Patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation…Behold I come
quickly: hold that fast which thou hast…He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.” (Revelation 3:10-11, 13)
