How The New King James Bible Creates Doubt
When you begin to disciple a new Christian, don't you always tell him that the Bible is God's word and he can trust it above all else? Of course you do. [Ed. note: Do you fundies tell him the English translation is "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" or do you tell him the original manuscripts are "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" and all Ibriy and Yavan texts are copies of "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" and the translations in the myriad languages of Adamkind are just that -- translations of the copies of the original manuscript, which ALONE is "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim?"]
But if your church is like many others, you may give him a New King James Bible because you think it is easier to read. And in so doing you will plant the seeds of doubt. [Ed. note: You should give him a NASB not a NKJV.]
In his book, Defending the King James Bible, D.A. Waite explains: "The diabolical nature of the NEW KING JAMES VERSION shows itself in their printing all the various readings of the Greek text in the footnotes. They print all sides and take their stand in favor of none of them. By so doing, they confuse the readers." [Ed. note: How could that confuse any rational person? Is the truth confusing? It must be to the fundies! All great translations have loads of footnotes explaining the various readings. True students of "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" love footnotes with variant readings and explainations.]
So now this young Christian has to make a decision. You gave him a Bible and said this is God's Word. But that very Bible says God's Word may mean this or it may mean that, he must decide. [Ed. note: Why would any bishop, Bible teacher or true believer tell a newly born from above believer in YAHSHUA YAHWEH of Nazareth the Mashiyach the Son of YHWH the Father, that the NKJV is "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" when it's a mere translation of a copy of myriad copies of "Thee Holy Word of YHWH?"]
Waite goes on to explain: "But the NEW KING JAMES makes note of all the changes so that the new Christian, the young Christian, and all other Christians are supposed to be textual critics on their own, and make up their own mind about the proper Greek text. [Ed. note: What's wrong with urging true believers to become textual critics? Do the KJV only fundies want their flocks to be Biblically illiterate? It sure looks like it. That's what the Roman Catholic Corporation did for centuries. Are the KJV only fundies trying to emulate the RCC hierarchy? That's what it looks like! They claim they have "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" and there is NO need to examine the Ibriy and Yavan texts. It's amazing they can get away with that scam, but since we are living in the apostasy of the last days (2 Thes. 2.1-3; 2 Tim. 4.3,4) it is to be expected!]
"On page 1235, in the back of the book, the editors make that very statement. They wrote: `It was the editors' conviction that the use of footnotes would encourage further inquiry by readers. They also recognized that it was easier for the average reader TO DELETE [subtract, or take away from] something he or she felt was not properly a part of the text than to INSERT a word or phrase which had been left out by the revisers.'" [Ed. note: Isn't it true that footnotes encourage true students to inquire further? It is! I delete hundreds of words which the translators of all versions have incorrectly inserted into the text changing the meaning of it. One horrendous mistake by the KJV translators is found in Acts 12.4. They translate the Ibriy word "pascha" as Easter rather than passover. That is inexcusable! I crossed out Easter (Ishtar) and write in Passover in all of my KJ versions. That one mistake, of thousands of mistakes (errors), proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the KJV is NOT "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" but merely a translation of a copy of myriad copies of "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim."]
"So they say the editors have no opinion, no guess as to what the real text of the Word of God is. You take your pick and choose for yourself. To have a smorgasbord of textual variance down in the footnotes, as the NEW KING JAMES has, is a terrible travesty on the young Christian trying to find out what the Bible says. It certainly puts doubts in the mind whenever there's a difference. Which is right? Is it this reading or that one? No matter which you pick, you have a question mark and a doubt; and the Devil is delighted!" [Ed. note: Wrong! The devil is delighted that there are a few fools who believe the error riddled KJV is "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim!" He laughs himself sick watching the KJV only crowd waste their time defending an error riddled translation rather than studying "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim." Why is it a travesty for a young believer to read footnotes? Can't you fundy teachers answer any questions he may have about them? Is it possible that the fundies do NOT want new believers or old believers to ask them questions about the KJV and other translations? That's what I think.]
The bottom line is this: we need to study the historical evidence, decide which text is exactly God's Word, and stick with it. This is the text we need to provide young Christians. And it would certainly help to get the right one - the Received Text. Any Bible version with alternate readings will make the reader have to decide what God really meant. How can you trust Bible translators who can't make up their mind what God really said? (Battle Cry, July/August 2000, www) -- http://www.chick.com/bc/2000/doubt.asp
Incredible! There is NO one text that is "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim." The "received text" definitely is NOT "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim!" It was compiled by a Roman Catholic priest who was NOT born from above and who is currently burning in Hell! Do you really believe YHWH Elohim would choose a child of the devil to compile a text that would become "Their Holy Word?" NOT hardly! Erasmus also did NOT have access to thousands of texts from which to compile his text that later translators had.
The King James Version CANNOT be "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim" because it has thousands of horrendous errors, the translators ELIMINATED "Thee Holy Name of YHWH Elohim," they added to and took away from "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim," and they included the apocrypha, which they considered to be inspired Scripture. It was the Puritans who took the apochrypha out of the KJV in the 18th Century.
Here are a few of the more devilish errors in the KJV:
The word "unknown" is inserted several times in the passage dealing with the charisma gift of speaking a known language which one does not know (I Kor. 14.2,4,13,14,19,27). This error was inexcusable and it led to the creation of the false doctrine that speaking gibberish is a gift of the HOLY SPIRIT! Without that one word being inserted in the KJV there would have been NO Pentecostal movement! Hundreds of millions of people who have allegedly been saved by listening to the false Gospel they preach are burning in Hell! Millions more will believe in the Pentecostal/charismatic false Gospel and be damned forever! The blood of hundreds of millions of people are on the hands of the KJV translators! They will suffer the plagues of the Apokalupsis while they burn in the Lake of Fire through all eternity!
The Ibriy word "pascha" is translated "Easter" instead of "Passover" (Acts 12.4). That is a major error! The pagan festival commemorating the alleged reincarnation of Nimrod in the body of the bastard son (Talmuz) of his wife, Semiramis, has NOTHING to do with Messianic Faith. The believers of the First Century celebrated "Passover" and the resurrection of YAHSHUA YAHWEH of Nazareth the Mashiyach. They did NOT celebrate Ishtar (Easter) or the Roman Catholic Corporation mixture of the resurrection of YAHSHUA and Ishatr.
The translation of Deuteronomy 6.4, the foundation for the doctrine of the Trinity, was butchered! It reads:
"Hear O Israel! The LORD is your God. The LORD is one."
It leads the unlearned to believe there is only one God. That is a serious error! The text says just the opposite! Here is the most literal translation:
"Hear O Yisrael! YHWH are our Elohim. YHWH are united."
The paraphrase that explains this statement is:
"Hear O Yisrael! The family of YHWH is our Gods. The family of YHWH are united in thought, word, deed and purpose."
From the miserable English (KJV, NASB, RSV, etc.) a false doctrine was created -- There is one God revealed in three Persons.
Had the KJV and other translations been accurate that doctrine of demons would never have been invented. The true doctrine of the Trinity would be understood (apprehended & comprehended) by every believer!
There are three separate Beings who are three separate Gods. These three Gods think, speak, act and desire the exact same thing in every situation. They never disagree with or contradict one another.
The satanic doctrine that there is only one God who is revealed in three Persons has led to the satanic doctrine called Modelism. The One True God reveals Himself to Adamkind at various times in three different personages. Sometimes He reveals Himself as the Father, the Son or the HOLY SPIRIT.
The sad thing is that the KJV only crowd and most "Christians" do not understand that the false doctrine of One God revealed in three Persons is Modelism! It is NOT surprising that the Pentecostals (Oneness cult) invented Modelism. They were also fooled by the insertion of the word "unknown" to come up with the satanic doctrine that talking gibberish is a gift of the HOLY SPIRIT!
There are dozens of other cardinal errors in the KJV! To document all them will take a book effort. These are more than enough to convince all true believers in YAHSHUA YAHWEH who are walking in the SPIRIT (Gal. 5.16,25) and being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT (I Yochanan 2.20,27) that the KJV is simply a translation of myriad copies of "Thee Holy Word of YHWH Elohim!"
"It is most difficult to free slaves from the chains they worship." DOV
The misguided belief that the KJV is infallible is one chain that binds some Christians.
