Grace And Peace, Precious friend(s). I believe it is a very serious matter
to determine
Which version of “the Bible”
Is “The Correct Word Of God!”
I am sure we
All agree, do we not, that we are
All going to
each give
an "account To HIM,"
(
2 Corinthians 5:10), According to
His Gospel of Grace, To Paul (
Romans 2:16), correct?
Thus, in Light of Paul's "...knowing therefore
The Terror Of The LORD..." {
v. 11},
to me,
I
humbly present why I
personally believe
KJV Is “The Best Bible” to read/study:
(1) Q: Is
IT not
God’s Pure And PRESERVED WORD!?:
”
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.”
(
Psalms 12:6-7 KJB!)
Now, Comparing
This, with a couple of
newer versions, what do we find?
NASB: “The words of the Lord are
pure words…You, Lord, will
keep them;
You will
protect him from this generation forever.
NIV: “The words of the Lord are
flawless…You, Lord, will
keep the needy
safe and will
protect us forever from the wicked,...
Do these Also claim
God’s “Purity And Preservation for ALL generations”?
They both
claim “pure/flawless” words, but, then they
both
Omit Some Of: “Preserve THEM from this generation for ever” and
Change words TO
the noted “Different” words above. How is that
Purity?
Q: Will
The Holy Spirit, our
Blessed Teacher,
Help us understand
“
The Purity of These Words,” considering these newer versions
have Changed Them? How, then, do we “study AND
agree”?
{Diligent/Noble Berean
students can find MANY of These
Changes
{And, Also “omissions”}, and Prayerfully/Carefully decide for themselves
about the
“Purity of God’s Words,” and
which version is best, for them,
correct?}
(2) I
personally have decided on Both
“The Purity And The
Preservation Of The Authorized Version/underlying manuscripts,”
for the following reasons:
Q2: Is The Following the “Reason” why the
newer versions
Cannot claim:
God’s Promise To “Preserve HIS Pure Word for ALL generations”?
Since the newer versions
did not appear until about 1880,
would not that be a “
Lack Of
Preservation,” due to the fact
that the underlying {older/better?} manuscripts had to be
“Re-discovered/translated,”
Skipping the generations since 1611?
Can that be
God’s Purpose For HIS Pure/Preserved Word?
+
(3)
God's Pure/Preserved Word Is ABOVE All Else! Is
IT not?:
"I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy HOLY
Name for Thy LovingKindness and for Thy TRUTH: for
Thou
Hast MAGNIFIED Thy WORD Above All Thy Name!"
(
Psalms 138:2 KJB! )
imho, unless I am mistaken, on
Judgment Day, I would Not want
one of the "good deeds done in my body," to be “Bad, by
my claiming”
that corrupt/Changed/Missing words {translated from older/hidden
{UNpreserved} manuscripts into “newer easier-to-read/understand
versions,” are to be:
God's Pure Word, Which Is “
Magnified Above All Of God’s Pure/Holy Name,”
would you, Precious friend(s)?
Finally:
IF it is true that “Many {~~ 64,000?}
Of “God’s PURE Words”
are
missing {ie: Acts 8:37 NASB et al?} from
newer versions, then,
IF the “version user”
Cannot read Them {because
They are
missing},
how is it possible then, for that one to
obey God’s Exhortation:
“man Shall Not
live by bread alone, But
By EVERY Word
That Proceedeth Out Of The Mouth Of God!”
(
Matthew 4:4 cp
Luke 4:4;
Deuteronomy 8:3 KJB!)?
Just wondering:
How can
God's "children of light" be in
agreement
when each uses a
Different Problematic version?: Are we not all,
By A Faithful God:
"...Called Into Fellowship With God's SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST"
(1 Corinthians 1:9 KJB!), And, should we not all be:
"Endeavouring to keep The Unity Of God's Spirit In The Bond Of
PEACE!..." (Ephesians 4:3 KJB!), obeying
God's Exhortations!:
”
...speak...the things which become Sound Doctrine!”
(Titus 2:1 cp "SAME mind And judgment!" 1 Corinthians 1:10 KJB!)?
Being faithful And Pleasing to our
LORD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST, Correct?
--------------------------------------------
Addendum: Some do Not like
archaic words in
God’s Preserved Word,
but isn’t that Why
God Commands us to “study”? I.e.:
“...we which are alive and remain unto the coming of The LORD shall not
prevent [precede] them which are asleep…” (
1 Thessalonians 4:15 KJB!)
Once I “studied & found the meaning,” have never had any
problem since. Amen?
+
I would also, when Prayerfully/Carefully “studying, like to know,"
When "God Is
Addressing" one person {
singular: thee, thine, & thou}, or
More than one person
{
plural: ye/you/your}.
Could make a Huge Difference in
His Pure Words, correct?
Since newer versions have
Totally Lost these distinctions, c
onsidering
“you/your” Could be
Either singular OR plural, causing
Confusion, of
which God Is “
Not the author of,” (
1 Corinthians 14:33 KJB!), correct,
Precious friend(s)?
Conclusion: Besides
changing God’s PURE Words, is there not Also
HIS “Command NOT to Add, Nor To Take Away From HIS Word!”?
(Deuteronomy 4:2,
12:32;
Proverbs 30:5-6;
Revelation 22:18-19 KJB!)
So, yes, I
sincerely believe This Is “A Very Serious And Important”
decision Of
faith to be made! After all, "a
corrupt {#} version Will
Cause a
corrupt faith,” correct?
Since God’s PURE Word Teaches:
“
...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing By The WORD Of God!”
(Romans 10:17 KJB!)
Be Blessed!
{#}
Corruption had Already Begun in "Paul's day," thus it should not
surprise us, that it very well
Could be in our midst, today, correct?:
"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."
(2 Corinthians 2:17 KJB!)
Precious friend(s), instead of All of the Mass
Confusion, is not
God's Simple Will Much Better?
