“THIRTEEN REASONS NOT TO USE

THE ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION (ESV)”

At the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Romans 14:10), don’t be caught out unawares trying to invent excuses on the spot, as to why you loved the ENGLISH STANDARD VERSIONESV.

Don’t be tongue tied!

Start practicing your answers before you get there before you get there!

The following points may help you.

Reason #1 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV LETS A PRIEST FORGIVE YOUR SINS

Your ESV, and Pope Benedict, endorse the wicked priest confessional by saying “confess your sins to one another” (James 5;16).

The King James Bible says that we need only “Confess your faults one to another” (James 5:16).

Don’t worry about the Lord, any old Catholic priest will do.  

Reason #2 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS HIS BLOOD IS NOT IMPORTANT

Your ESV says: “…in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1;14)

Let’s read what the King James Bible says …

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (Colossians 1:14).

Quite a difference wouldn’t you think? If you were Satan, you’d certainly want to eliminate Christ’s blood as payment for sins wouldn’t you?

At the judgment seat, you will be able to tell Jesus face to face that you thought that his blood was unnecessary for the forgiveness of sins.

Don’t let Jesus push you around! Stand up for what you believe is right!

Don’t you worry about something insignificant like the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ!

You have Rome’s modern scholarship on your side!

Reason #3 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE ESV DENIES HE IS THE SON OF GOD

Let’s read what Acts 8;37 says in your ESV.

Ready?“______________________________”(Acts 8;37)

Now let’s read how this verse reads
in the King James Bible –

“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.” (Acts 8:37)

When you stand before the Lord to be judged, you will want to let him know that you didn’t think it’s important that he is the Son of God, thereby making him equal with God and therefore God himself.

Reason #4 YOU TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS IT’S NOT IMPORTANT TO STUDY HIS WORD.

Let’s read what the ESV says about this:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker that has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2;15).

Have a go, that’s the main thing. Do your best and God will do the rest!

Let’s see what the King James Bible says:

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2Tim 2:15).

Don’t you worry about rightly dividing the word of truth or studying it, just try to handle the word of truth as best you can.

Near enough is good enough I say, don’t you?

Don’t forget, you always get to tell God what you thought was more important than his words.

Like spinning that wheel on TV “You’re in control!”

Reason #5 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE ESV AGREES WITH CHRISTADELPHIANS AND JW’S …THAT HE DIDN’T CREATE ANYTHING

Let’s read what you believe in the ESV:

“All things were made through him ..” (John 1;3).

The King James Bible when it says “All things were made by him …” (John 1:3)

“By…through … what’s the fuss? It’s all the same isn’t it?”

If you can’t understand the difference, may I humbly suggest that you get a Dictionary and ponder what the fuss is all about. Don’t you worry about whether Jesus Christ is offended by the wording, and that he’s not the creator. Anyhow, you find the ESV easier to read, don’t you?

Furthermore, the words “through him” constitute the Colossian Heresy whereby creation was successively made through a series of angels.                                                   

Reason #6  YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV CALLS HIM BY THE NAME OF LUCIFER

Do you pray “Dear Lucifer, I want to thank you for dying for my sins.”

Your beloved ESV says you can as follows …

“How you have fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the nations!” (Isaiah 14;12).

Now pick up your King James Bible, if you have one, and read it again:

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! (Isaiah 14:12).

In the King James Bible Lucifer is called son of the morning and not the “morning star” as in the ESV.

Big deal you say “What’s the difference?”

Let’s read what Jesus says about himself …

“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.” (Revelation 22:16).  

Well, well, well … Jesus calls himself the morning star but the ESV calls Satan himself, Lucifer, the morning star.

Are you ready to throw your ESV in the fire yet?

It’s been my experience that ESV users aren’t aware that they hold a Satan loving bible in their hands every time they pick up their beloved ESV.

Reason #7 YOU’LL BE ABLE TO TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS THAT NO-ONE CAN KNOW THEY ARE SAVED WITH ETERNAL SECURITY

Let’s read it with our own eyes: “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1Corinthians 1;18 ESV)

The King James Bible says “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1Corinthians 1:18).

If you read the ESV, Pope Benedict will be sending you a congratulations note in the mail “Keep it up! Fight the battle! Don’t forget the sacraments! Do you best and Christ will do the rest!”

Why? The Pope just loves Progress Salvation … “put some more money in the plate and we might be able to get you into heaven … if not … then purgatory for a while!”

Reason #8 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS HE DIDN’T HAVE A VIRGIN BIRTH

Don’t get upset, just read what your ESV says: “And his father and mother marveled at what was said about him.” (Luke 2;33).

The child’s father? Who? The Holy Ghost?

Oh, I see, you mean Joseph. I didn’t think that Jesus had an earthly father?” But the ESV says so! Let’s check out the King James Bible:

“And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.” (Luke 2:33).

Well look at that! Joseph is not Jesus’ father after all!

Reason #9  YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS HIS FATHER, THE HOLY GHOST AND HIM AREN’T ONE

Your ESV has bits missing … “For there are three that testify the Spirit, the water and the blood; and these three agree. (1John 5;7-8)

The King James Bible says “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7).

Furthermore, these three do not simply agree with each other, they are one.

Reason #10 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV SAYS THAT EVERYONE GETS SAVED

Your ESV says “By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.” (Revelation 21;24)

The King James Bible says “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:” (Revelation 21:24)

Big difference wouldn’t you think?

Reasons #11 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV DENIES HE CAME TO SAVE THE LOST

Turn to Matthew 18;11.

Can’t find the verse in your ESV? 

Correct, it has been left out.

Let’s turn to the King James Bible which says …

“For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.” (Matthew 18:11).

Wow! A very significant verse one would think?

“Help me please! Where can I find salvation?”

Reasons #12 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE ESV DOESN’T BELIEVE HIS ACTUAL WORDS ABOUT THE TERRORS OF HELL … INDEED NO MENTION OF HELL AT ALL!

Check out Mark 9;44. 

Oops! Not there in your ESV? Correct? It’s been left out!

Let’s turn to the King James Bible …

“Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched.” (Mark 9:44)

The ESV says that there is no hell … and no fire in hell.

Wow! I wonder what Jesus died for … if not to save us from God’s wrath of the everlasting fires in hell.

In fact, your ESV has no mention of hell at all!

Reason #13 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE ESV IS PRO-SODOMY AND THAT YOU PREFER THE BIBLE THAT THE SODOMITES USE

The word “sodomy” is not used once in the ESV … as a lesbian writing consultant plus the sodomite head of the OT translation committee, put a word vacuum cleaner through the ESV texts.

IN CONCLUSION…

Ah Dear Reader, at the judgment seat of Christ, you’ll be able to hear a pin drop … it’ll be that quiet … and you’ll be speechless!

Your beloved ESV will be cast into the lake of fire despite your affection for it. What say ye?
