Is It the Word
of God?
It Condemns
Itself as Being a Fraud!
The
NKJV Condemns Itself as a Fraud
The Bible is not only the
word of God; it is also the words of God. Every word
of God is pure, and every word of God is necessary to
grow spiritually (Ps 12:6-7; Prov 30:5; Luke
4:4; John 14:23). Corrupt or take away one
word from Scripture, and you destroy the internal
integrity of God’s perfect masterpiece.
The Bible declares about
itself that it is internally consistent without any
contradictions, making it more sure than God’s voice
from heaven (Prov 8:8-9; 22:17-21; John
10:35; II Peter 1:16-21; I John 2:21).
If you find internal contradictions that are obviously
wrong, then you know a book is not the word of God.
Jesus and Paul both argued
important doctrine from single words, verb voices and
tenses, and even a single letter (Matt 22:31-33;
22:41-46; John 8:58; 10:33-36; Galatians
3:16; 4:9; Heb 8:13; 12:26-27).
If translators or publishers lightly or wickedly
change words, then such authority is lost from a
Bible.
Satan’s primary
device has been to overthrow the words of God. He did
it to Eve in Eden, and Paul feared he would do it at
Corinth (Gen 3:1-6; II Cor 11:1-4).
Questioning and altering God’s words have been
widespread from the beginning (Jer 23:22,30;
36:20-24; II Cor 2:17; 4:2; II
Tim 3:6-7; 4:3-4).

NKJV
of 1982 |
KJV
of 1611 |
| Paul taught the promises to Abraham and his
seed were to a singular seed, which meant
Jesus, not the Jews. But the NKJV changed the
Old Testament to “descendants,”
contradicting Paul’s argument, making
salvation by race rather than grace, and
declaring its own Old Testament is not
Scripture. The promises to Abraham and his
seed are in Gen 12:7; 13:15-16; 15:5,13,18;
17:8-10,19; 21:12; 22:17-18;
and 24:7. This one case of
heresy and contradiction is sufficient to
condemn the NKJV. |
Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his Seed
were the promises made. He does not say,
"And to seeds,"
as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed,"
who is Christ.
Genesis 22:17
Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I
will multiply your descendants
as the stars of the heaven and as the sand
which is on the seashore; and your descendants
shall possess the gate of their
enemies. |
Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his seed
were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds,
as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ.
Genesis 22:17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in
multiplying I will multiply thy seed
as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed
shall possess the gate of his
enemies;
|
| Paul taught that not all Israelites from
Egypt died in the wilderness, due to the
exceptions of Joshua and Caleb. The NKJV
denies Old Testament history that they entered
Canaan and charges them instead with
rebellion! And they call this a KJV
Bible! |
Hebrews 3:16
For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was
it not all who came out of Egypt, led
by Moses?
|
Hebrews 3:16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke:
howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses.
|
| Pharaoh Necho of Egypt fought
against Assyria during the days of Josiah.
King Josiah was killed in a battle at Megiddo,
when he went against Pharaoh unadvisedly. But
the NKJV changes the history to make Pharaoh
Necho an ally of Assyria in one place to deny
the inspired history and to contradict itself
in another place. If the account in Kings is
true in the NKJV, then what of Chronicles in
the NKJV? How many lies can a Bible
have and still be called God’s word? The
NKJV is a mess! |
II Kings 23:29
In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went
to the aid of the king of Assyria, to
the River Euphrates; and King Josiah went
against him. And Pharaoh Necho killed him at
Megiddo when he confronted him.
II Chron 35:20
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the
temple, Necho king of Egypt came
up to fight against Carchemish by the
Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
|
II Kings 23:29
In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went
up against
the king of Assyria to the river
Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him;
and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen
him.
II Chron 35:20
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the
temple, Necho king of Egypt came
up to fight against Charchemish by
Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. |
| The NKJV stole glory from God and Jesus in
various ways; here it did so by praising
Israel for their goodness and beauty instead
of God for His. See Zec 9:16. By
their fruits ye shall know them! |
Zechariah 9:17
For how great is their
goodness and how great their
beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
|
Zechariah 9:17
For how great is his
goodness, and how great is his
beauty! corn shall make the young men
cheerful, and new wine the maids. |
| The NKJV, missing the Hebrew parallelism,
encourages ruthlessness, denies the truth
about oppression, and discourages disciplined
men (Job 27:16-17; Prov 1:10-19;
13:22; 15:27; 28:8). The
dark saying of Solomon was too much for them. |
Proverbs 11:16
A gracious woman retains honor, but
ruthless men
retain riches.
|
Proverbs 11:16
A gracious woman retaineth honour: and
strong men retain
riches.
|
| The NKJV added quotation marks around what
it guessed were spoken words to help improve
God’s word. By putting them around Job
32:15-16, a narrative insertion by Elihu
describing a scene, they destroyed the sense
and removed proof that Elihu wrote Job. What
scholars did the NKJV use? |
Job 32:15-16
"They
are dismayed and answer no more; words escape
them. And I have waited, because they did not
speak, because they stood still and answered
no more.”
|
Job 32:15-16
They were amazed, they answered no more: they
left off speaking. When I had waited, (for
they spake not, but stood still, and answered
no more;)
|
| The NKJV removed the thee’s and thou’s,
which are crucial to show the singular, second
person pronouns of the Hebrew and Greek. The
NKJV lies when it says the NKJV is more
accurate. They lie when they say it is
closer to the originals. |
Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed,
Satan has asked for you,
that he may sift you
as wheat. But I have prayed for you,
that your faith should not fail; and when you
have returned to Me, strengthen your
brethren."
|
Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan
hath desired to have you,
that he may sift you
as wheat: But I have prayed for thee,
that thy faith fail not: and when thou
art converted, strengthen thy
brethren. |
| Paul taught that Jesus Christ was incarnated
in humanity rather than the nature of angels,
but the NKJV totally corrupts the verse, loses
the sense, violates the context, and denies
Scripture (I Tim 5:21). Who
signed off on this version? |
Hebrews 2:16
For indeed He does
not give aid to angels, but He does give
aid to the seed of Abraham.
|
Hebrews 2:16
For verily he took
not on him the nature of angels; but he
took on him the
seed of Abraham.
|
| Man’s heart is depraved (Jer
17:9). Man cannot improve it; God must do
it for Him (Pr 21:1; Jer 10:23; Phil
2:13; Rev 17:17). The NKJV
is heresy! |
Proverbs 16:1
The preparations of the heart belong
to man, but the answer of the tongue is
from the LORD.
|
Proverbs 16:1
The preparations of the heart in
man, and the answer of the tongue, is
from the LORD. |
| By mercy and truth men can purge, or
cleanse, themselves from practical sins (II
Cor 7:1); but they cannot provide an
atonement for sin, which is God’s
work in Jesus Christ alone (Rom 5:11). |
Proverbs 16:6
In mercy and truth Atonement
is provided for iniquity; And by the
fear of the LORD one departs from evil.
|
Proverbs 16:6
By mercy and truth iniquity
is purged: and by the fear of the LORD
men depart from evil. |
| The NKJV, appalled by Solomon’s severity,
joined the PTA by removing God’s precept to
spank children without regard for their
crying. A generation of spoiled
children is the result. |
Proverbs 19:18
Chasten your son while there is hope, and do
not set your heart on his destruction. |
Proverbs 19:18
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let
not thy soul spare for his crying.
|
| Whether “the faith of Jesus Christ” is
Jesus Christ’s faith in God or His religion,
the NKJV changed the words. Jesus did obey for
justification, as it is stated elsewhere (Rom
3:22; Gal 3:22) and taught in other
words (Is 53:11; Matt 27:43; Rom
5:15-19; Heb 10:9). Justification
by Jesus Christ’s obedience or by your
obedience is a very big difference! |
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the
works of the law but by
faith in Jesus Christ, even we have
believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be
justified by
faith in Christ and not by the works of
the law; for by the works of the law no flesh
shall be justified.
|
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the
works of the law, but by
the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have
believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the
faith of Christ, and not by the works
of the law: for by the works of the law shall
no flesh be justified.
|
| Solomon wrote some proverbs as ideals for
civil rulers, but he never proposed that kings
should use witchcraft (Deut 18:10)! Divination
is not even close to giving God’s sentence
in judgment! |
Proverbs 16:10
Divination
is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not
transgress in judgment.
|
Proverbs 16:10
A divine sentence
is in the lips of the king: his mouth
transgresseth not in judgment.
|
| The NKJV, an important part of the seeker
sensitive and mega-church growth movements,
removed Paul’s condemnation of those who
think gain is evidence of godliness. Can
you guess what spirit and type of men are
behind such alterations? |
I Timothy 6:5
Useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and
destitute of the truth, who suppose
that godliness is a means of gain. From
such withdraw yourself.
|
I Timothy 6:5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds,
and destitute of the truth, supposing
that gain is godliness: from such
withdraw thyself.
|
| To protect a generation of
Christians that hold the truth but live
unrighteous lives, they changed the word
“hold” to “suppress.” Where
did they get this change? Not from the Textus
Receptus! |
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who suppress
the truth in unrighteousness,
|
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who hold
the truth in unrighteousness; |
| No wonder the NKJV replaced “corrupt”
with “peddling,” for their consciences
convicted them about their many corruptions. “Corrupt”
hit too close, even if they do peddle the NKJV!
What is it called to copyright a public domain
work? |
II Cor 2:17
For we are not, as so many, peddling
the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as
from God, we speak in the sight of God in
Christ. |
II Cor 2:17
For we are not as many, which corrupt
the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as
of God, in the sight of God speak we in
Christ. |
| No wonder the NKJV got rid of “study” in
II Tim 2:15, because the version shows little
of it, as shown above. How should a minister
“be diligent” to obey the NKJV and please
God? Should he strive for a good
public image as in Matt 7:22? |
II Timothy 2:15
Be diligent
to present yourself approved to God, a worker
who does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
|
II Timothy 2:15
Study to
shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
|
| Peter and John never read this
corruption. They were never scholars and never
wanted to be scholars (Acts 4:13; Matt
11:25-27; I Cor 1:19-20; 3:19-20).
God’s pastors are not scholars! |
Eccl 12:11
The words of the wise are like goads, and the
words of scholars
are like well-driven nails, given by one
Shepherd.
|
Eccl 12:11
The words of the wise are as goads, and as
nails fastened by the masters
of assemblies, which are given from one
shepherd. |
| The problem with the wicked is
not their inability to know good, but their
refusal to do what is good and right! Solomon’s
dark sayings hurt the NKJV! |
Proverbs 29:7
The righteous considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does
not understand such knowledge.
|
Proverbs 29:7
The righteous considereth the cause of the
poor: but the wicked regardeth
not to know it. |
| Solomon never saw men as a rule angered by
backbiting; in fact, they often enjoy it. He
taught that an angry hearer will silence a
backbiting tongue. The metaphor
requires wind rejecting rain. |
Proverbs 25:23
The north wind brings
forth rain, And a backbiting tongue an
angry countenance.
|
Proverbs 25:23
The north wind driveth
away rain: so doth an angry countenance
a backbiting tongue.
|
| Why did the NKJV change verb tenses dealing
with salvation? What is this Catholic process
of “being saved” and “being
sanctified”? Only those already regenerated,
or saved, ever receive the gospel as the power
of God. Only those already regenerated respond
positively to the gospel to be a sweet savour
to God. Jesus paid the full price for those
God had already chosen to be holy before the
world began. Salvation is not a
process, but an act! An act of a sovereign and
successful God! |
I Cor 1:18
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.
II Cor 2:15
For we are to God the fragrance of Christ
among those who are being
saved and among those who are
perishing.
Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering He has perfected forever
those who are being
sanctified. |
I Cor 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us which are
saved it is the power of God.
II Cor 2:15
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ,
in them that are
saved, and in them that perish:
Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever
them that are
sanctified.
|
| How was Jesus raised “because of our
justification”? Does our justification
depend on His resurrection, or does His
resurrection depend on our justification? Not
even the NIV goes this far! |
Romans 4:25
Who was delivered up because
of our offenses, and was raised because
of our justification.
|
Romans 4:25
Who was delivered for
our offences, and was raised again for
our justification.
|
| God warned His saints that
false brethren would hate and reject them in
the name of the Lord. But the NKJV, trying to
help God out, put the quotation marks around
too much of the verse, destroying the sense
and proving their Bible ignorance. |
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of the LORD, You who tremble at
His word: “Your brethren who hated you, Who
cast you out for My name's sake, said, 'Let
the LORD be glorified, That we may see your
joy.' But they shall be ashamed."
|
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at
his word; Your brethren that hated you, that
cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let
the LORD be glorified: but he shall
appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. |
| Consistent with the effeminate Christianity
of the perilous times of the last days, the
NKJV replaced “repent” with “relent,”
implying that the hellish sinners among the
Jews had a pressing desire to believe on
Christ. Relenting is not repenting!
And there are none that seek after God (Rom
3:11)! |
Matthew 21:32
For John came to you in the way of
righteousness, and you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and harlots believed him;
and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent
and believe him. |
Matthew 21:32
For John came unto you in the way of
righteousness, and ye believed him not: but
the publicans and the harlots believed him:
and ye, when ye had seen it, repented
not afterward, that ye might believe him.
|
| Talebearing, or gossiping, is a sin that God
hates, as taught clearly in the Bible (Lev
19:16). But the NKJV compares talebearing
to tasty trifles! Is this wisdom?
Where is the condemnation of gossiping? |
Proverbs 18:8
The words of a talebearer are like
tasty trifles, And they go down into
the inmost body.
|
Proverbs 18:8
The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of
the belly.
|
| Why does the NKJV fear to use “whore”
and “sodomite”? Why avoid connecting
sodomite and dog in this text? A “perverted
one” can mean anything. But a sodomite dog
is a plain description of men having sex with
men. The perilous times describe
so-called Christians compromising with those
“without natural affection” (II Tim 3:3). |
Deut 23:17-18
There shall be no ritual
harlot of the daughters of Israel, or a
perverted one
of the sons of Israel. You shall not bring the
wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the
house of the LORD your God for any vowed
offering, for both of these are an abomination
to the LORD your God. |
Deut 23:17-18
There shall be no whore
of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite
of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring
the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog,
into the house of the LORD thy God for any
vow: for even both these are abomination unto
the LORD thy God. |
| The NKJV removed the sin of effeminacy,
which includes perversions short of sodomy (Deut
22:5). Jesus taught the least commandments
(Matt 5:19), and this is not one of
them! Did the NKJV protect effeminate
ministers preying on women (II Tim 3:6-7)?
Why delete a sin and repeat another? |
I Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor
homosexuals, nor sodomites,
|
I Corinthians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind,
|
| Effeminate Christians want peace at any
cost. They will tolerate heresy, but not
division. God expects saints to divide
from heretics (Rom 16:17-18). |
Titus 3:10
Reject a divisive
man after the first and second admonition,
|
Titus 3:10
A man that is an heretick
after the first and second admonition reject;
|
| The philosophers of Athens were ignorant
fools. Only proud men in love with man’s
wisdom would flatter the pagan fools of
Athens. The wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God, not religious! |
Acts 17:22
Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus
and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that
in all things you are very
religious;
|
Acts 17:22
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill,
and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in
all things ye are too
superstitious.
|
| To capture silly women as part of effeminate
Christianity, the NKJV flattered them by
describing their creation as being comparable
to Adam, denying the truth of I Pet
3:7 and I Tim 2:13-14. |
Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, "It is not good
that man should be alone; I will make him a
helper comparable
to him."
|
Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the
man should be alone; I will make him an help meet
for him.
|
| Since the NKJV teaches the
heresy that Eve was made comparable to Adam,
it is no wonder that wives need only respect
their husbands! Here is more evidence
of “perilous times” Christianity. |
Ephesians 5:33
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular
so love his own wife as himself, and let the
wife see that she respects
her husband.
|
Ephesians 5:33
Nevertheless let every one of you in
particular so love his wife even as himself;
and the wife see that she reverence
her husband. |
| By now, you can see why the NKJV replaced
“dishonesty” with “shame” in the
matter of how the word of God is treated.
Since they dishonestly altered the text for a
moneymaking project, they removed the word. They
may avoid their shame by hiding, but they
cannot hide their dishonesty! |
II Cor 4:2
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame,
not walking in craftiness nor handling the
word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation
of the truth commending ourselves to every
man's conscience in the sight of God.
|
II Cor 4:2
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,
not walking in craftiness, nor handling the
word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation
of the truth commending ourselves to every
man's conscience in the sight of God.
|
A Few Other Reasons the
NKJV Is False
1. The Bible version issue
is as simple as faith, fruit, and fools. God promised
to preserve His inspired words (Ps 12:6-7; Isaiah
30:8; Matt 5:18; I Pet 1:25). He
promised they would bear spiritual fruit and have
certain traits (Pr 8:8; Jer 23:28-29; John
10:35; I Thess 2:13). And He said He would
not use scholars (fools) to assist the truth (Matt
11:25-27; I Cor 1:19-20; 3:19-20; I
Tim 6:3-5,20-21). Saints simply believe
these matters by faith without regard for scholars or
booksellers. Men who believe God trust Him entirely by
faith and ignore the questions of skeptics or their
own souls (Rom 4:17-22). This method is exactly
how the canon of 66 books came to be – by faith and
fruit, without any scientific basis and ignoring the
suggestions or conclusions of church councils and
fathers (fools).
Thomas Nelson Publishers
operates in the very opposite direction and manner of
this faith, fruit, and fools approach to Scripture.
They have no faith in preserved Scripture (they sell
Catholic Bibles with the apocryphal books in the Old
Testament). They sell Bibles for financial gain (why
copyright a public domain Bible?). They depend on
fools (scholars and textual critics and liberal
denominations) for their information. And they
practice fraud by falsely professing faith in
Scripture and claiming the NKJV is something that it
clearly is not. Since these four marks, or fruits, are
all faithless evidences of a work of man, the NKJV or
other Bibles of Thomas Nelson cannot be God’s word.
2. Jesus said false
prophets were to be judged by their fruits (Matt
7:15-20). The NKJV is responsible, along with
other modern Bible versions, for an effeminate and
illiterate generation of compromising and worldly
Christians, who have turned away from the truth to
fables (Is 30:8-13; Amos 8:11-12; I
Thess 2:13; II Tim 3:1-7; 4:3-4).
Why would anyone go to the NKJV as the word of God,
since its readers generally lack the spiritual
character and fruit of those reading God’s words?
The lack of spiritual fruit in holy living, powerful
preaching, and condemning authority reveal it as a
work of man. This test is infallible to men of faith,
for fruit is the prescribed test of a prophet or
Bible. Furthermore, the word of God must be judged by
its internal accuracy and integrity, where the NKJV
fails by its casual use of words and compromise with
other manuscript families and versions.
3. When Jesus spoke, there
was obvious and significant authority (Matt 7:28-29);
but the NKJV has helped form the present generation of
powerless, pleasure-obsessed Christians that have only
a form of godliness, questioning and rejecting the
words of God (Gen 3:1; Jer 23:28-29; Matt
7:28-29; II Tim 3:1-7; 4:3-4). They
love sound bites much more than the carefully studied
sense of words. Jesus and Paul argued from individual
words, verb voices and tenses, and even a single
letter. Any Bible or its readers that treats words
lightly is not a Bible endorsed by God, for He has
shown that every word is important and the basis for
true doctrine, even if the word be for cross-reference
purposes (Prov 30:5; Luke 4:4). God’s
ministers “preach the word,” not ten to twenty
different versions of it!
4. The KJV originated in
the dying words of William Tyndale in 1536, when he
was burned at the stake by Anglican Catholics for
translating and printing the Bible in the English
language. Prior to expiring in the flames, he cried
out, “Lord, open the eyes of the king of England.”
By the grace of God, King James I of England called
for a new version in English in 1604. The saints with
the testimony of Jesus and the commandments of God
have always been the despised and persecuted enemies
of pagan and papal Rome. Their crime? Possessing the
word of God (Rev 6:9; 12:11,17; 14:12;
20:4)! Read the preface of the King James
Version. The translators of the NKJV would have
trouble even reading the wonderful document, and they
would not understand the holy reverence for the word
of God and the holy hatred for Catholicism and self
conceited scholarship! Read how the translators
affirmed that the Pope is the man of sin and how they
foretold the certainty that popish persons and self
conceited scholars would both surely malign their
efforts.
But the NKJV originated in
the financial plans of Thomas Nelson Publishers, not
the hearts of men loving the pure words of God and
willing to lay down their lives for it (I Tim 6:10;
Titus 1:9-11). They sell Catholic Bibles right
beside the KJV and NKJV versions, because they have no
more faith or commitment to the word of God than the
number of dollars it can generate in various versions,
editions, styles, covers, boxes, colors, etc. Their
public relations efforts to convince the gullible with
signed statements of belief in the inspiration of the
originals is pure tomfoolery, for they sell Bibles
including the apocryphal books and based on entirely
different families of manuscripts.
5. The NKJV was copyrighted
as a moneymaking scheme of Thomas Nelson Publishers.
They stole the name of a king and a Bible in the
public domain, plagiarizing work previously done, and
copyrighted it for their financial advantage and
perpetual income. If they had hearts for the truth
even a fraction of Tyndale and the KJV translators,
they would give the Bibles away or, in the worst case,
sell them at cost. But they sell it for a profit right
along with the NCV, the NAB, the NRSV, and the ICB.
6. The NKJV is not the King
James Bible, nor is it anything comparable to any of
the editions of the King James Bible. In many places
where it differs from the KJV, it agrees with the
Alexandrian family of texts and those modern versions
following that textual family. Yet they marketed and
promoted the NKJV as just another revision in the line
of editions of the KJV. Regarding the editions of the
Authorized Version of 1611, the revision committee of
the American Bible Society said in 1852, “The
English Bible as left by the translators has come down
to us unaltered in respect to its text.” The NKJV
altered the text of the KJV whenever it felt like it,
which it had to do in order to get a copyright for a
new Bible, but which they did not admit openly to the
public!
7. Where can a person find
the word of God and the words of God? By looking for
the Bible version bearing the spiritual fruit of
God’s elect and having the internal integrity
necessary to be the word of God. Where is this Bible
found? It is generally found in the old-fashioned
churches and homes of sobriety and godliness, rather
than in the newfangled churches and homes of frivolity
and worldliness. It is found with dogmatic men that
have no regard for scholarship, rather than with
effeminate men that use a plethora of versions to
provide pleasant sound bites. It is found with men
that earnestly contend for the apostolic faith, rather
than with men making the gospel palatable for modern
man (II Tim 2:2; 3:14; Jude 1:3).
Thomas Nelson Publishers
renamed their KJV the New KJV, because they needed a
new name for copyright purposes, and they were
pandering to a generation that wants new religion
rather than the old paths (Jer 6:16; Acts
17:21). Their version is certainly new; it has new
words with new doctrines and new emphases for a new
kind of Christian, the kind Paul warned would arise in
the perilous times of the last days (II Tim 3:1-7;
4:3-4). It is a mongrel version from the
manuscripts the KJV translators used and the
manuscripts they refused to use! It is found in
contemporary Christian churches promoting casual
worship and compromising doctrine and practice. It is
very rarely found among those men and churches fully
dedicated to the apostolic faith and old paths of
Scripture

The document, "Every
Word of God," which shows how Jesus and Paul
argued doctrine from individual words.
The document, "What
About Thee’s and Thou’s?" which shows
their superiority to modern pronoun usage.
The document, "Why
Does the Bible Contradict Itself?" explains
the hidden wisdom in KJV "contradictions."
The document, "Is
God the Author of Confusion?" shows that God
righteously hides the truth from most men.
