I have followed the last few posts and have one comment to make ,there have been many who have viewed this thread and there seems to be interest in it ,however I am in 2 minds whether to continue ,as it has deteriorated into a specific disagreement concerning one word .
I know as soon as you debate anything concerning the Authorised version you are immediately labelled a bigotted KJV onleyist ,and that we should all read the modern versions because they are easier to understand ,well I have seen 8 year olds who can perfectly well understand the KJV .
No the real reason is that the counterfeit text is now so established in the theological world that it has been portrayed as the normal while the true text has been labelled abnormal .The perverted is now regarded as the normal
I am tired of those who say there is no difference and that the new versions contain exactly the same "WORDS of God" ....THAT IS A LIE ...and those who promote the modern versions know its a lie .
I see discussions here about the TRinity ,well as Christians we believe in the Trinity at least I do because of
1John 5:7 in the AV
I believe in the resurrection
Mark 16:19 in the AV
I believe Christ is the Son of God so why is it omitted from
Acts 8:37 in the NIV
I believe Christ Jesus is Lord and it says it 60 times more in the AV
SO WHY DO SO CALLED CHRISTIANS QUESTION THIS ?
What is going on here ?
Check those verse with the NIV and the SAV and tell me they say the same ..THEY DO NOT
Twice in the AV the Word of God tells me that I live by the faith" OF "the Son of God and not faith "IN " the Son OF God ,completely different doctrinal point siezed on by faith/works because if we live by the faith "OF"Christ Jesus then they cannot say about faith levels
WHy do those within Christendom want to argue against these bible truths found in the 5,300 manuscripts denounced by modern versions in favour of 2 manuscripts used by Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland
All 4 were not Bible believers ,that is enough reason not to use modern versions ...what more reason does a saint need than that
WHY DO THEY NOT WANT THE WORD OF GOD TO TELL US THAT CHRIST IS LORD AND THAT HE WAS RESURRECTED AND THAT THERE IS A TRINITY ,the answer has to be that once again satan is asking the question ..."Did God really say that ,well Jesus never doubted scripture during His temptation and therefore neither do I
They say that doctrine isnt different ..That again is a lie
If anyone at all does not believe that there is a doctrinal reason for the changes then check out the changes in Romans in the modern versions ,check out the changes in 1 Corinthians , Gaalatians, Ephesians,and if anyone tells me that there are no changes to doctrine .then we do not believe in the same CHrist Jesus or in the same God
To say this is unimportant and that we should all just accept modern versions and not make disagreement is just what the liberal modernists want ,because,
they all have an hidden agenda promoting heresy and error
Do not be like Adam and Eve fall prey to the beguiling words of Satan .......
"DID GOD REALLY SAY THAT "?
we should answer satan with in the scriptures "IT IS WRITTEN" and "YES GOD REALLY SAID THAT"
