Re: Which Bible version shall I use
The non-Christian United Bible Society's spreading of the corrupt 'Nestles' text in new Bible versions world-wide:
As stated before, the United Bible Society makes their Bibles with the same corrupt Nestles Text that the NIV, NASB... were made from. They (the UBS) are in an intensive world outreach campaign to spread the Gospel, their corrupted Gospel. While we do not judge them, they are not a Christian organization. Below we see a news item hailing yet another language translation of their destroying Manuscript, the Nestles Text:
Source: ENI News; 5/16/2000.New Bible translations help to preserve world's disappearing languages
London (ENI). A New Testament published for the first time in an English-based Caribbean Creole, a language once used by slaves, has been hailed as one of the world's most significant Bible translation activities for 1999. Geoffrey Stamp, chief editor for the United Bible Societies, based in Reading, England, was commenting to ENI on the UBS annual Scripture Language Report, which revealed that scripture became available in 21 more languages last year. The total number of languages in which the Bible is available in part or in its entirety now stands at 2233. But this is still barely more than one third of the estimated 6500 living languages in the world.
They are not yet done corrupting the Sacred Texts. Each new version moves further away from the truth, until we will come to be totally void and ignorant of the truth of God's Word, just as was Pontius Pilate, whom crucified Christ: "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?..." [John 18:38]. It is then, more than any other time in the history of the world, that we shall truly be in danger of satan's greatest deception of all, his coming as the false christ - the antichrist!
The newest blasphemous Bible version, The Peoples Bible:
Source: Express Newspapers, 5/18/2000: BY DAVID SMITH Rabbi condemned for rewriting Bible 'to read like Mills and Boon stories'
A NEW version of the Bible has been branded "blasphemous" for spicing up the scriptures and axing words such as angels and Christ. The People's Bible aims to make the good book more accessible by updating its language and adding colorful passages, such as a love scene between David and Bathsheba.
But religious critics last night condemned the 16-volume paperback project as being "closer to Mills and Boon" than the Word of God. Rabbi Sidney Brichto, who says he wrote the translation in "seeking to become God's spin doctor", replaces references to Jesus as "Christ" with "the anointed one" because he feels it better explains the Jews' hopes He would restore the sovereignty of the House of David."Angels" make way for "messengers of God" because the rabbi, from Pinner, Middlesex, points out they did not have wings and were never seen in flight. But the Trinitarian Bible Society said it strongly disapproved of the work. The Rabbi's treatment of David and Bathsheba read "like a Mills and Boon story, which is blasphemous". (End of News clip).
Acts 20:28-32 (Apostle Paul speaking)
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. (KJV)
Apostle Paul went on to warn us: "Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?" [II Th 2:5]. And Jesus Christ forewarned us as well: "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things." [Mark 13:23]. But we must search the Scriptures for the knowledge, wisdom, and warnings of God. That search of the Scriptures for the English reader must be done in the King James Bible.
Are you starting to see the bigger picture now? Can you begin to realize that not only have they the ability to change God's Word, but they have changed it. Is the danger of those subtle changes now not glaringly obvious? Go out, spend $5.00-$20.00, and buy a King James Bible (KJV). And don't even donate your old New King James Bible (NKJV), or NIV, NASB, NRSV, NAB, RSV, CEV, TEV, GNB, Living Bible, The Word, New Jerusalem, New Century, The Message, The People's Bible,...to charity, throw it out or pack it away, lest you corrupt someone else with it!
Peace unto you in Jesus Christ
