With an NIV is pretty easy for a Christian Scientist to say that God is "in everyone," even those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

The Alexandrian writings make this passage meaningless! The preserved Bible shows us that Jesus' disciples are not to take revenge, nor to "destroy lives," but to "save them." The whole lesson here is removed in the perversions.
There are many other examples. Many can be found in the excellent book, If the Foundations Be Destroyed by Chick Salliby
But these show us that every word of the Bible is very important. That is why God warns us about adding to or taking away from His words.
God's preserved words in the King James Bible are what we need as Christians, to prepare in this life for the life to come, and to know what God wants us to know. Anything short of that-is not God's word.

I looked up the first one. In my KJV the word 'you' is in italics.

What that means is that it is NOT in the text. It means it was ADDED by the translators so it would make sense based upon their belief of what was meant.
Isn't that the point you were trying to make about translators not 'adding to' the text?

It may well be a correct translation.

But what you (and other KJV-only types) have done is to suggest that later works are more accurate than earlier versions of a text. You have decided that the translators of the KJV were inspired and incapable of doctrinal bias as they translated. No doubt you believe 1John 5:7-8 is correct in the KJV too? Even though it was in no old greek texts at all?

You decry the older texts from Alexandria and yet, I imagine, you stick to other things that came out of Alexandria - like the doctrine of trinity.

Please don't decry everything that is different from your beliefs is a 'perversion'

I love my KJV but I also like my NIV. What I see as a problem is that KJV onliers hunt for any little difference to pounce upon to discredit the NIV. The differences turn out to be nothing or not relative or explained in footnotes.

I think that God's word is God's word and as long it can lead you to Jesus , the cross and salvation it is good. An NIV person will have the same arguement. Are we to dispute everything. Do you think we need to focus on Jesus and not on the devil's scheme to divide the brethern because of what bible they use. I believe it is personal preference and until the Lord tells me not to use either bible I will continue with the one that has been feeding me for many, many years. It does not make you a bette rChristian according to the bible you choose. In the south everyone uses the KJV in the east the NIV is mostly used. Usually whatever the Pastor uses the congregations tend to use.

Amen Brother! Amen. Thank you so much for sharing this information. It is so vitally important. I also study the Bible Version Issue, and I definitely am considering getting that book by Chick Salliby. I know that Brother Bryan Denlinger promotes this very book in his video: KJV777 NIV666.

Again, thanks for sharing this. And may the people on here take time to consider what's been shown here and may the Christians on here that are using some of these modern corrupted versions repent and convert to God's pure word, the King James Holy Bible.

Here is the thing though nonicknametouse,

for it to be God's word, it must be perfect and without error. The NIV has been shown to have many mistranlsations and errors in it. The NIV attacks the Deity of Jesus Christ in many places and if you do not think that the NIV is a satanic perversion, than what you need to do is look up Revelation 22:16, then look up Isaiah 14:12. Compare the readings from the King James Bible with the readings of the NIV. Then you should be able to see that the readings in the NIV are corrupt.

And Just know that the true text, the God-honoured text is in the King James Bible.

Now after you see and notice the blasphemy that the NIV commits in the 14th chapter of Isaiah, if you still think that this issue is just about preference, then I don't know how to help you. Here is a video which exposes the vile and wicked man behind the copyright of the NIV:


NIV bible and Satanic bible owned by Pornographer Rupert Murdoch:

Compare the readings from the King James Bible with the readings of the NIV. Then you should be able to see that the readings in the NIV are corrupt.
We see there are differences. Both were translated by men.
The NIV scholars (drawn from a diverse background) had more documents, the KJV scholars (Church of England monks under direction on the King of England) didn't have all the documents available (as some were still hidden).

the God-honoured text is in the King James Bible.
Really?!! It's not even April 1st yet!


BTW - if your Bible starts like this
1 In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.
2 And the earth was without forme, and voyd, and darkenesse was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters.
then are reading the King James Bible (1611).

If it does not (and I'm guessing it doesn't) then you are using a later translation.


Also you might want to know that the word apocrypha means 'hidden' - nothing more.

Well yes, but so were the original autographs Bookreader, what is your point?

Okay and where is your proof of that? Where is your proof that the KJV translators did not have all the documents available to them in 1604? How do you know whether they did or not?


BTW - if your Bible starts like this

then are reading the King James Bible (1611).

If it does not (and I'm guessing it doesn't) then you are using a later translation.
You must mean a later edition. Same translation, just a later edition. And by the way, the list of words given below that have a bit of spelling variations are NOT word changes. They are simply spelling changes. SAME WORD. Just a different spelling.

the site im getting this from knows about every little detail about roman catholism, mormanism, masonry, islam, and creation/evolution
this is not the 155 verses but what comparison to kjv and alexandrian. They honestly do make it sound perverted
wow this is -completely- false...

there is no evidence that the textus receptus is any more 'apostolic' than the alexandrian text type...if anything by geographic proximity alone the alexandrian text type is more likely to be associated with the apostles than the textus receptus which originated in western areas where no apostle ever went near...

apollos was from alexandria...and the concept of the 'logos' that john alludes to originated in alexandria...so you cannot claim that alexandria was wholly corrupt...

if you knew anything about the history of the textus receptus...such as the additions that worked their way into the main text...including a blatant forgery...you would not call it 'preserved'

the textus receptus was actually based on about a dozen manuscripts...not thousands...

the roman authorities who were persecuting the protestants and burning bibles actually followed the textus receptus tradition too...they just didn't want it translated into anything other than latin...

in fact the textus receptus was produced by a committed catholic named erasmus...who once stated that he would accept heresies if the roman church taught them... and one of the most debated verses in the textus receptus comes from a forgery produced by a catholic monk...

the 1611 king james version included the apocrypha...

the revised version is just a revision of the king james version...it is no more sinister to revise the king james version than it was for king james' scholars to revise the bishops' bible...

also it is mistaken to include the geneva bible in your sequence...the king james version was produced by opponents of the geneva bible...

preaching from the king james version has led to revivals and driven mission work...but the king james version has also produced many cults...due to the fact that the archaic language is easier to either accidentally or willfully misunderstand...

the geneva bible was actually the 'founding bible' of the american colonies...

being difficult to understand...the king james version has made many people dependent on religious teachers...often false ones...
