These scriptures confirm that Gods word is preserved for eternity. Psalms 119:140"Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it."
Psalms 119:160 "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever"
Many claim that there are numerous versions written of the bible so it is impossible to decipher the truth. I disagree with it being a little more difficult to decipher the truth but I do agree that there has been corruption in some versions and mostly by intention once you really look further .
It is only common sense since everything has a life span that in order to preserve something one would need to make sure copies were made of the originals. When the original books became worn and needed to be copied they were known to be meticulously recorded word for word to ensure its validity. It is known that there were as many as 5 and 6 people that would check for absolute accuracy, even count the words to make sure that not a word was missing.
It is a true fact that there are no original texts of the scriptures left. However if we stop to think about that from a common sense point of view that makes perfect sense. This in no way means there are not completely accurate copies of the original scriptures still in circulation. However; since the earlier texts were preserved, corruption has indeed entered some of the newer translations and that is why you must read the correct version. I used to think that as long as you knew that that book you were reading was missing text or had been changed slightly that it was still acceptable to read. First lets look at that logic for a moment. Who would want to skew the scriptures from the original? Ok so again using simply logic one then has to come to the conclusion that if the very one "translating" the bible is the very one responsible for spreading false information and collecting the copyright fees how trustworthy would the version be? I came to the conclusion that those are the very books that have been corrupting Gods truth intentionally and logically we should be bound to ignore and stay away from these texts. The Authorized or often called simply The King James version is the original texts before the corrupted texts followed.
When speaking of biblical corruption, text was changed 3 different ways. The corrupted text writers changed the way it reads, they omitted part of a verse or they ommited an entire verse. First off let's take a look at scripture and what Jesus says in this area." Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him saying it is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
The New International version simply says "Man does not live by bread alone" Completely disregarding "but by every word of God"
Well why would that be?Every word means EVERY word. How can you live by every word of God if your version has intentionally corrupted the text?
2Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" This is very clear that ALL scripture is from God. Some newer versions simply say "every inspired scripture" not all scripture. There is a rather large difference in those two meanings.
1Timothy 3:16 Says "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." The NIV says "He appeared in the flesh,was vindicated by the Spirit,[a]was seen by angels,was preached among the nations,was believed on in the world,was taken up in glory." Says HE in the corrupted version not GOD. It is fact that some of the newer versions have removed the word GOD 51 times. That is not accidental.
Luke 4:8 says "Get thee behind me Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." The NIV says Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. It completely leaves out the scripture that says Get thee behind me Satan. Hmmm wonder who would have wanted that removed? ;)
Mark 10:24 "And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God" The New International version says "The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God" completely omitting "how hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom" That would go against everything we've been told this world works on wouldn't it?
Lets go back to the beginning of the Holy Book briefly. In Genesis 22:2 "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of" A very different meaning is seen in the New International Version. It reads "Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." If the actual wording was "sacrifice" then when the angel told him not to proceed with the offering he would have had to continue as being a God fearing man he would have heeded Gods initial word and knowing that God is never wrong and that he doesnt lie he would have had to oppose the word of the new angel who carried the message not to proceed. Because the true wording is offer it makes the scripture more clear as to why Abraham listened to the angel.
JOHN 3:16 is a VERY FAMOUS BIBLE SCRIPTURE. The authorized King James version says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" The New International version says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." No mention of the word Begotten. And some versions translate that it means one and only however if that were the case it would read "only only?" as the scripture in King James version already contains the word only before "begotten" so that can't be the meaning. There are other versions as well that leave this out.
If we now refer to Matthew 1:25 "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus." The New International version "But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus" No mention of the word Firstborn. This doesn't really mean anything until it is known it is very clear in the Bible that the first born son in every family belongs to God. Again this is very obviously just another deceit to hide the truth from Gods people.
In the King James version Isaiah 14:12 says "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" In this text Lucifer is referred to as the son of the morning. The NIV refers to Satan however as the morning star and says " How you have fallen from heaven,morning star, son of the dawn!You have been cast down to the earth,you who once laid low the nations".
When you refer back to the authorized King James version in Revelation 22:16 it clearly tells us something different than the corrupted version which then brings into question the accuracy of the scriptures if one is only referring to NIV." 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. Even in the NIV version of Revelation 22:16, the very version that first said Lucifer was the morning star then confirms the original scripture. It reads "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
It is made very clear that Jesus is the Morning Star not Lucifer and that the text has been deceptively changed intentionally to add more confusion.
I don't think its an accident or a coincidence that there are very clear deceptions in the newer versions when it comes to controversial topics that are currently in the public eye either. Everyone, whether you want to voice your true opinion or not are aware of the very topics that are causing divides and are being forced upon us as 'politically correct'.
Lets start with the topic of abortion.
Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb." Now lets take a look at the New Life Version text says "He will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or any strong drink. Even from his birth, he will be filled with the Holy spirit" Keywords changed to 'from his birth' rather than 'while in the womb' leaves the impression that they are not considered His children until they are born rather than at conception as scripture states before being changed. This deceptively leads people to believe that they are not committing a sin in Gods eyes by aborting an unborn fetus if is not see as a child until birth.
The New International version follows the New Life version saying "He will be important in the Lord’s eyes.He must never use wine or other such drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the time he is born."
Scripture involving the topic of homosexuality has also been changed in the newer versions as well conveniently enough.
The King James version Deuteronomy 23:17 says "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israeli" This text is pretty clear and there is no confusion to what a sodomite is. In the New International version it says "No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute" The word sodomite has been removed. The New King James says "There shall be no ritual harlot of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted one of the sons of Israel." Its closer to the true meaning but still not as blatantly clear as the King James text.
1Kings 14:24 "And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel." In the newer versions it says "There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites." This just creates more confusion as everyone is aware you dont have to be a prostitute to be a sodomite by definition. God is specifically talking about the act of sodomy not promiscuous sex in this scripture.
The really obvious proof that these changes were made intentionally to confuse people and to draw Gods children away from him are in the scriptures that have been removed altogether from some of the newer versions.
Mark 11:26 says "But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." In the newer versions it has been REMOVED completely.
1John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." The newer versions either leave it out or NIV version simply says "For there are three that testify" It doesnt quite give you the same information does it? This scripture proves the teaching of the Trinity and the Holy spirit being a separate being is false teaching. A little more clear why these were tampered with.
Matthew 17:21 and Matthew 18:11 have been completely removed from some of the newer texts. Matthew 17:21 in The King James version states "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting" This is a huge piece of scripture that helps to understand the secrets to true spiritual healing and a great relationship with God. He tells you how to rid yourself of evil sin and temptation by prayer AND fasting. This is not to be done all the time but it is a big piece of the puzzle that helps once you understand its meaning and its validity.
Matthew 18:11 "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost"
Both of these scriptures have been completely removed from some of the newer text but do still remain in the New King James version.
The words devil, damnation and Jehovah -yes Gods name has been completely removed from most newer versions outside of the King James version.
Genesis 22:14 Exodus 6:3 Exodus 17:15 Judges 6:24,Psalms 83:18 Isaiah 12:2 and Isaiah 26:4 are examples.
I don't think it can be anymore clear. Any Holy Book that has removed God by name or simply call him God when original text used Jehovah and have changed his words to intentionally corrupt the meaning is not the book God would want us to read.
So whenever a skeptic says to you that the bible has been changed and corrupted you can agree and say yes you are correct it has and then proceed to tell them that there is still an accurate copy of the original text and that book is the King James version.
Keep your faith and KNOW that God would never forsake us or leave us alone without access to his truth.
