The Attack on The Bible Part 2

By the Remnant of God website (Presents of God Ministry)




Both the NIV and NASB rewrite the verse to read "By your endurnace you will gain your lives"

PHI 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Both the NIV and NASB replaces the name "Christ" with the word "Him." the NIV doesn't even capitalize the word "Him"!

1TIM 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Both the NIV and NASB replace "God" with "He"

ACTS 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou [art] God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

Both the NIV and NASB totally remove the phrase "thou art God" from the Bible.

MAT 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Both the NIV and the NASB totally remove the name "Jesus." from this verse. Actually, the NIV removes the name Jesus from their version 38 times! The NASB removes the name "Jesus" 73 times!

REV 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

GAL 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,

MAT 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "God" from these verses and replace His name with the word, "He"

ACTS 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "the name of the Lord" and replace it with "His name."

REV 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Both the NIV and NASB "ADD" words to this verse. They change "having his Father's name written in their foreheads." with this to read "having his HIS NAME AND HIS Father's name written in their foreheads.

PHI 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "God" from this verse in the context it is in.

The next three verses are an outright "rewrite" that totally changes the meaning of the Scripture involved. It is so blatantly evil that I am confused how people hold on to these Bibles at all.

ISA 14:12 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!

The NIV removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O morning star"

The NASB removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O star of the morning." Why is this such a big deal? Because REV 22:16 plainly states that, "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." Jesus is the bright and morning star, NOT Lucifer!

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.

Both the NIV and NASB change the words "too superstitious" to "very religious"

COL 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Both the NIV and the NASB replace "not seen" with "has seen"

Pretty eye-opening isn't it? It is a sad thing when you think about all the ministers out there that were TAUGHT with these Bibles. It makes it easier to understand now why only 2% of all American student ministers believe in a second coming of Jesus now doesn't it? This was the results of a "Pittsburgh Press" poll taken on Sept 24, 1977. That's over 20 years ago people! These students are PASTOR'S, PREACHERS, AND MINISTERS RIGHT NOW ALL ACROSS THIS LAND!

Notice the following verses. See if you don't see a "different" message emerging from these alterations of man.

ROM 11:6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Both the NIV and NASB remove the phrase "But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace:" from this verse.

COL 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:

Both the NIV and the NASB remove "through his blood" from this verse.

MARK 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

The NASB changes this verse from "believe in me" to "who believe"

JOHN 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Both the NIV and NASB remove the words "on me"


GAL 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "through Christ"

COL 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "and the Lord Jesus Christ" from this verse.

I would just like to add one verse to this list
Luke 4:4

King James Version (KJV)



4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.


Luke 4:4

New International Version (NIV)

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.

So according to the NIV we do not live by every word of God then what do we live by?

Good point.

I love Luke 4:4

Also, look how the NIV changes Psalm 12:6-7

KJV
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

NIV​
And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.

Excellent post, blatant distortions such as these are made to fit peoples corrupt lifestyles.

They cannot endure sound doctrine, so they write their own books.

I am afraid it will get much worse.

Thank you Nalu, and that's exactly right. For example, when a fellow brother in Christ wrote that there are many homosexual churches springing up across the country, a lot of them having around 2 or 3 thousand members. He pointed out that the version they use is the NIV, which is the most popular bible version right now in the world. He also made this statement and I quote him saying: "If we can make the word of God more vague, less defined, and less condemning, then we can appeal to a wider audience and sell more bibles."

And yea, I am sure there are people who are using many of these modern versions as a way to condone their sinful lifestyles since it does not contradict their belief on what is right and wrong morally. Also; interestingly enough, many of the people who are apart of the modern Emergent Church movement for the most part are using the modern versions. Of course, there could be few that still use the KJV, but that is likely very rare.

And yes; being that we are in the last days, it will only get worse from here on out.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. - 2 Timothy 3:13

I believe that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes, especially in regards to the falling away that the Holy Bible talks about in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

Also, look how the NIV changes Psalm 12:6-7

KJV

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

NIV​

And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.
If you just look at verse 6 and 7 yes it looks distorted. It SEEMS like the KJV is talking about God preserving His Words and the NIV saying that he will preserve people. BUT if you look back to the verse leading up to these two verses God is talking about preserving people in both. You CANNOT remove verses from context to warp the meaning.

KJV
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.


NIV
5 “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,” says the LORD.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.”
6 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold[c] refined seven times. 7 You, LORD, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked, 8 who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.


Adding just one more verse give us context to show us that verse 7 is saying the same thing in both versions, just in different words. You guys are doing the same thing that false teachers do, take verses out of context to prove your point.

The Attack on The Bible Part 2

By the Remnant of God website (Presents of God Ministry)


PHI 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Both the NIV and NASB replaces the name "Christ" with the word "Him." the NIV doesn't even capitalize the word "Him"! Does not change the meaning though I agree Capitalization would be nice

1TIM 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Both the NIV and NASB replace "God" with "He"
Does not change the meaning

ACTS 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou [art] God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

Both the NIV and NASB totally remove the phrase "thou art God" from the Bible.
Does not change the meaning, just less formal language. Uses the words "Sovereign Lord" which creates the same imagery.

MAT 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Both the NIV and the NASB totally remove the name "Jesus." from this verse. Actually, the NIV removes the name Jesus from their version 38 times! The NASB removes the name "Jesus" 73 times!
Does not change the meaning just didn't feel the need to point out the obvious that Jesus was the person they were talking to.

REV 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

GAL 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,

MAT 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "God" from these verses and replace His name with the word, "He"
Does not change the meaning.

ACTS 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "the name of the Lord" and replace it with "His name."
Does not change the meaning.

REV 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Both the NIV and NASB "ADD" words to this verse. They change "having his Father's name written in their foreheads." with this to read "having his HIS NAME AND HIS Father's name written in their foreheads.
Does not change the meaning as we know that the Lamb and the Father are one.

PHI 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "God" from this verse in the context it is in.
God is included, just instead of "worship God in the spirit" it puts "we who worship by the Spirit of God". Again no change in meaning.

The next three verses are an outright "rewrite" that totally changes the meaning of the Scripture involved. It is so blatantly evil that I am confused how people hold on to these Bibles at all.

ISA 14:12 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!

The NIV removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O morning star"

The NASB removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O star of the morning." Why is this such a big deal? Because REV 22:16 plainly states that, "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." Jesus is the bright and morning star, NOT Lucifer!
Does not change the meaning as you claim, satan was called the morning star and Jesus redeemed that name and took on the name of BRIGHT and MORNING STAR.

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.

Both the NIV and NASB change the words "too superstitious" to "very religious"
Does not change the meaning, superstition was part of their religion.

COL 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Both the NIV and the NASB replace "not seen" with "has seen"
Seriously you need to stop making stuff up. It says "Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind." No change in meaning just different grammar. I find that most people that have issue with these type of things really need to take a grammar class.

Pretty eye-opening isn't it? It is a sad thing when you think about all the ministers out there that were TAUGHT with these Bibles. It makes it easier to understand now why only 2% of all American student ministers believe in a second coming of Jesus now doesn't it? This was the results of a "Pittsburgh Press" poll taken on Sept 24, 1977. That's over 20 years ago people! These students are PASTOR'S, PREACHERS, AND MINISTERS RIGHT NOW ALL ACROSS THIS LAND!

Notice the following verses. See if you don't see a "different" message emerging from these alterations of man.

ROM 11:6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Both the NIV and NASB remove the phrase "But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace:" from this verse.
Again, DIFFERENT GRAMMAR!!!!!!! They both say that if it is by works than its not by grace! UGH!

COL 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:

Both the NIV and the NASB remove "through his blood" from this verse.
It says the same thing just again does not restate the obvious that we through Jesus' death (his blood) we are saved. IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE MEANING of the passage.

MARK 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

The NASB changes this verse from "believe in me" to "who believe"
In the context of the passage this adjustment does not change the meaning.

JOHN 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Both the NIV and NASB remove the words "on me"
Again!! Take the context of the passage and it DOES NOT change the meaning.


GAL 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "through Christ"
AGAIN NO CHANGE IN MEANING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PASSAGE.

COL 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Both the NIV and NASB remove "and the Lord Jesus Christ" from this verse.
Hey something that might actually be a proper difference too bad there is a footnote mention that some manuscripts include and some don't AND too bad this has no theological bearing on anything.
Seriously you guys need to take some english classes and tead verses in context.

probably more false doctrine has come from people who use the king james version than from any other bible translation...

much of that is probably just an effect of the fact that the king james version has been around longer...and false teachers have had more time to figure out how to make it 'work' for them...

but it -is- getting more and more easy to use the king james version to promote false doctrine and distort the meaning of scripture...because fewer and fewer people are able to understand and correctly interpret the archaic language of the king james version...

Just because you have someone who agrees with you does not mean you are right. I have people who agree with me but don't think it is important to go there as the context is clear enough on its own.

Just because you have someone who agrees with you does not mean you are right. I have people who agree with me but don't think it is important to go there as the context is clear enough on its own.
Well, the context is clear CanadaNZ, and the context and poetic structure points to word preservation. And just because the majority of today's modern day scholars declare the sinaiticus and vaticanus to be the best manuscripts doesn't make them right either nor does it make their statement true. I recommend you read The Revision Revised by Dean John William Burgon. Excellent book exposing the corruption of the sinaiticus and vaticanus manuscripts which most if not all modern day bible versions are based upon.

Sigh. The KJV is a TRANSLATION, as are all translations. It is not "the" word of God. There are errors in the KJV, as there are in all translations. A big one is 1 John 5:7, which even many trinitarians agree is not in the text, and was added by the KJV translators to support the trinity.

Amen. Even other additions like the end of Mark 16. Which are not found in most ancient texts. We know they should not be there, because according to them anyone who is saved can drink poison or be bit by a poisonous snake and not die. yet we know this is not true. Yet all versions seem to carry them. The nice thing about the NASB bible I have is it has in parantheses, or marks it out. and states this is not included in most translations. as it does other area's, It lets us know all the words, even words it changes. WHich is honorable I think.

probably more false doctrine has come from people who use the king james version than from any other bible translation...

much of that is probably just an effect of the fact that the king james version has been around longer...and false teachers have had more time to figure out how to make it 'work' for them...

but it -is- getting more and more easy to use the king james version to promote false doctrine and distort the meaning of scripture...because fewer and fewer people are able to understand and correctly interpret the archaic language of the king james version...

Amen, Rachel! True! Exactly what I have been saying! Scott

Shroom2, yes the KJV is a translation. But it is also the word of God. There are no errors in the KJV. The King James Bible is the preserved, infallible and inerrant word of God. WHen the New Testament apostles quoted from the Old Testament, they translated from Hebrew into Koine Greek.
