BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE
BIBLE KNOWLEDGE!
“WHAT
ABOUT THE “THEE’s” AND “THOU’s?” (Part 1 of 2)
QUESTION:
Who uses the words of “thee” and “thou” anymore?
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HAS
BEEN DREADFULLY DEGRADED.
The English language has
lost its meaning with all
sorts of weasel words, newspaper language, foggy words, vague meanings,
no
punctuation … and the list goes on. Everything has been reduced down to
a type
of literary-mashed-up-pablum of baby food for the common man with no
teeth.
Instead of man pulling down God’s language to a third grade level, man
needs to
reach up to understand God’s words.
MAN’S GETTING MORE CLEVER?
Don’t make me laugh! But of
course, that’s the lie
isn’t it? As technology gets increasingly sophisticated, man becomes
increasingly more stupid!
Furthermore, not using the “-ETH”
ending, for
example, DESTROYS COMPLETELY any knowledge and understanding of
the dispensations.
For example, it’s impossible to understand the difference between the
kingdom
of heaven and the kingdom of God.
Read “The Elephant in
the Room” – Studies on the
Book of Matthew” to understand the difference between the kingdom
of heaven
and the kingdom of God, without which, the New Testament becomes a
grotesque
and deformed mixture of dispensational alphabet soup.
THERE IS NO PRIVATE
INTEPRETATION
THE USE OF ALL THE
PUNCTUATION, PARTS OF SPEECH AND
DIFFERENT PRONOUNS MAKES THE KING JAMES BIBLE AN EXACT 100% CORRECT
LEGAL
DOCUMENT, THAT CAN STAND UP TO ANY RIGOROUS PROSECUTION IN ANY
COURT OF
LAW. THUS PROVING THERE IS NO PRIVATE INTERPRETATION WITH THE KING
JAMES
BIBLE.
AND WHO WOULD HAVE MOST TO
GAIN FROM THIS?
Firstly, Rome. Without
correct words, grammar,
pronouns and parts of speech, the Bible can be used to support ungodly
doctrines. The scriptures say “Knowing this first, that no
prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” (2 Peter
1:20)
And
of course, the publishers bank accounts gain
from the “new” versions as people long to hear something new (Acts
17:21).
IT’S A PARADOX
In this digital age with
highly specific, exact,
technical and detailed language, God’s words have been trodden on and
watered
down by the world. God’s words are put on a downward slippery slide,
while
man’s words are elevated.
People couldn’t care less
about the exactness of what
God says in his Authorized Bible, The King James Bible. The “near
enough is
good enough” language approach of all modern ‘bible’ versions would
not, and is
not, tolerated for one second in the world!
Put it this way, Company
Directors eg Banks and
Insurance companies, responsible for publishing wrong information in
their
Propectus (a printed booklet that invites potential investing clients
for a
share offer) that contains the slightest hint of lies or fraud are
subject to heavy
fines and imprisonment for misrepresentation.
How much more serious does
God take the truth of his
words? Infinitely.
No-one can accuse God in this world or the next for
lying or misrepresenting the history of man and the way of salvation as
printed
in the perfect and inerrant prospectus of The King James Bible.
the second person
(the one spoken to)
the third person
(the one spoken about)
Example:
|
I judge |
first person |
|
Thou judgest |
second person |
|
He judgeth |
third person |
An example:
If you (first
person) are talking to someone
(they are second person)
about someone else
(they are the third person).
God has all
sorts of built-in clues in the King James:
1. “-est”
reminds you it is the second
person with its ‘s’
2. “-eth”
reminds you it is the third
person with its ‘t’
Furthermore,
the ending of “-eth” signifies
the present and continuous
ongoing nature of the verb. For example
He believeth
means he believes this very minute, then the next minute, then the next
hour,
then tomorrow and then the next week and so on. Many of his disciples
walked
away and lost their salvation (John 6:66. Interesting number of 666?)
That’s why
when Christ came and gave his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters
5-7) it was
full of words ending in “-eth”. Why? They could lose their salvation if
they
didn’t keep up believing
in Christ in an ongoing and unbroken way. Of course, as Christ had not
yet
died, no-one could have permanent security as God could not put them
into the
death of Christ.
This is
unlike the jailer who only had to believe once with “Believe on the
Lord Jesus
Christ”.
INTERESTING
FACTS
“IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS
VERSION REQUIRED
MORE THAN THE DROPPING OFF OF THE “-ETH” ENDINGS AND REMOVING THE
“THEE’S
AND THE THOU’S” AND UPDATING OBSOLETE WORDS.” (New King James
Version,
1982e. p.1235)
2.
The preface to the NKJV states that the “thee’s, thou’s and ye’s” are
replaced
by the simple “you” as these pronouns are no longer part of the English
language. However the “thee’s, thou’s and ye’s” weren’t part of the
English
language of 1611! If you read the introduction to the 1611 King
James Bible,
there are no “thee’s”, “thou’s” or “ye’s” used by the translators.
3.
The ‘thee’s’ and the ‘thou’s’ were taken out
from the
English language 400 years before the King James – therefore the
‘thee’s’ and
‘thou’s’ were DELIBERATELY put into the King James Bible to
give 100%
accuracy of meaning.
4.
The Webster’s Third New International Dictionary says of the word
“ye”: “used
from the earliest times to the late 13th century…”
(p.26-48). But, the King James
Bible was published
400 years later in the 17th century.
5.
AS THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS GOD’S PERFECT, INFALLIBLE, INERRANT,
FINAL AND
INSPIRED AUTHORITY FOR MAN, IT CAN STAND UP TO THE MOST RIGOROUS, LEGAL
AND
GRAMMATICAL EXAMINATION.
There
is no private interpretation of the Scriptures.
