BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE
BIBLE KNOWLEDGE!
QUESTION:
“DO I HAVE A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM IF I DON’T BELIEVE THE KING JAMES
BIBLE?”
ANSWER:
“YES … AND A BIG ONE” (Hello angel of light 2Cor 11:14)
“FACTS
AND FIGURES OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE”
Part
2 of 4
There
is only one God and therefore only one purified and preserved Bible. As
a
Christian, you have no choice. As there is one God, one Jesus Christ
and one
Holy Ghost, there is only one Bible with pure
words (Ps 12:6-7).
As
a Christian, you have no choice
… only one Bible with PURE GODLY WORDS
(Ps 12:6-7).
“I
CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE KING JAMES BIBLE”
The King James Bible
is not Elizabethan English but Bible language! It’s the
language used by
the Holy Ghost. God of history waits till he has the perfect language
for his
perfect Bible.
Which
things
also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy
Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Corinthians 2:13
Today,
there are many professing Christians who use one or more of the 300+
new Bible
"Versions" available. They do this in many cases because they have
been brainwashed by marketing gurus, each aiming to make money from
their own
"pet" versions.
Consequently,
they say, and believe, that it is impossible to understand the "archaic
Elizabethan English" of The King James Bible also known as The
Authorized
Bible. Nothing could be further from the truth.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HOLY GHOST
In addition, we read the preface to the King
James Bible, and we
see that the language used is not Elizabethan either.
Indeed, God
waited till the English language was at its best … and before it got
worse.
It was at its
highest point in history for the perfect Bible.
THE
PRIMARY PROBLEM
Having said that
let us look at the primary problem.
If I couldn't
understand the Bible, I would deeply ponder my spiritual growth
and standing
with the author.
Dear
Reader, don’t be offended but “Are you saved?”, and if you are, why
wouldn’t
you want God’s pure words?”
Paul writing
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit penned these words:
"But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually
discerned". (1Corinthians
2:14).
Dear
Reader, you might just be a natural man who thinks he’s saved?”
A man recently
attended an Independent Bible Baptist Church, and for four months, yes
that’s
correct, sixteen weeks, the Pastor laboured the congregation
through a
course on salvation in the morning services.
WHY? He didn’t
know who was saved and who wasn’t.
WHY? The church
is as dead as a doornail.
WHY? Their
Church Constitution states “We prefer the King James Bible …”.
The Bible
is inerrant in “the originals”.
Why would God be
happy with a church that professes this, after God, for 1500 years,
allowed his
martyred saints to produce the perfect King James Bible?
It should come
as no surprise that God gives the increase.
CARNAL
MINDED CHRISTIANS
Therefore one of
the reasons Christians cannot understand the word is because they are carnally,
rather than spiritually, minded. The solution to this is to get on
our
knees and confess our sins to God. This will restore our spiritual
relationship
to our heavenly Father.
Then, if we
approach the King James Bible with a humble heart and inquiring
mind,
God
will open up his
truths to us.
NOT
OPEN TO PRIVATE INTERPRETATION
Understanding
the Bible is not open to private interpretation.
If we could
understand every word in it, it would prove that the Holy Ghost is no
smarter
than us, therefore God will keep certain portions obscure as long as we
dwell
on earth, but will reveal all that he wants us to know.
"For now
we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in
part; but
then shall I know even as also I am known. "(1Cor 13:12).
And again “It
is the glory of God to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov 25:2)
NINETEEN
WORDS AND NONE OVER
FOUR LETTERS
So much of the King James Bible is simple enough for a
fourth grader to
understand.
How about …
“He
that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
(1 John 5:12)
More can be
understood simply by consulting the 1828 Webster’s English
dictionary,
but most of all, what we need to know can be understood by faith. A
primary
school student can understand the King James as the words are explained
in the
context.
GREEK
IS NEVER EVER, EVER NEEDED.
Put it this way,
if you have been given a Rolls Royce car (The King James Bible), why
would you
consult a 1965 Volkswagen manual (the Greek) to understand the engine
and how
it works? You wouldn’t.
The Greek is a
lost language … it has been superseded by the English. All the world
wants to
learn English. Why? God has made it that way. Everyone can now
understand the
perfect Bible – inspired and inerrant … the King James Bible.
THE
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS … ALL THINGS RUN DOWN
The tendency of
the world is to dumb down the population, and it is also true that the
meanings
of words have been changed (usually in accordance with the first law of
thermodynamics … all things run down).
Given that however,
we cannot expect God to lower his standards, or change his words
because the
world does.
It is at this
stage now when we must look at the importance of the words of
the Bible.
When he was on
earth the Lord Jesus Christ made a number of references to his words.
In John 14:23 we read: "Jesus answered and
said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and
my
father will love him, and we will come unto him to make our abode with
him." (Underlining added).
THE TRUE MANUSCRIPTS
These words, as given in the King James Bible, and only
in the King James
Bible, are found in over 5000 of the true manuscripts. Nonetheless
modern bible
critics think that they have the right, and the scholarship to change
those
they don't like or understand.
Was it not Satan who first asked, "yea hath God said"
(Genesis
3:1)
IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE
There are many Christians
today who are using these "new versions" in ignorance, but there are
also many who know these truths. It is to be remembered, ignorance
of the
law, and indeed the truth, is no excuse, and we will all have to
answer to
the Lord Jesus Christ about our treatment of His word. We cannot afford
to
believe what any man tells us.
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every
man a liar; as it is writte . That thou mightest be justified in thy
sayings,
and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” (Romans 3:4).
Dear Reader I urge
you to examine your heart motives in this matter.
THE
GREEK GAME
This
is a ploy used by
gnostic Christians (people with their own self appointed deeper
spiritual
knowledge) to destroy the belief of the average Christian in the plain
English
of the Authorized Bible.
For
example, the Greek word
“haplotes” is translated five
different ways in the King James Bible, and they are ‘liberal’,
‘bountifulness’,
‘liberality’, ‘simplicity’ and ‘singleness’.
P.U.P.S
Now,
PUFFED UP PREACHERS
(Pups) destroy the common man’s faith in the Bible by saying “The
translators
made a mistake as this word should not be ‘liberality’ but
‘simplicity.”
“The
Greek here give us the
deeper meaning…” thereby relegating the King James English to an
inferior discard
bin.
Another
case in point are
the words “agape” and “phileo” with the former supposedly being ‘God’s
love’
and the latter being ‘brotherly love’. This is absolutely
wrong… there
is no difference
For
example, we have Jesus
speaking “As many as I love (phileo)…”
(Rev 3:19).
Conversely,
Jesus speaks of
the Pharisees and how they “…love
(agape) the uppermost rooms.”
(Lk11:43)
ROME
WILL ALWAYS HIDE THE
TRUTH
Using
the Latin
language of Rome, Satan hid the Bible away from the common man for over
one
thousand years. With the Bible having been translated into the King
James
English, Satan has now succeeded into getting the Bible back into the
hands of
the scholars and away from the common man once again – but this time
into the
hands of the Greek and Hebrew scholars.
