King James Bible - Part I
THE ATTACK ON THE BIBLE!
-
by Terry Watkins and James
L. Melton (Edited by Tom Mack)
The Word of G_d is IMPORTANT! Its value
cannot be underestimated. Read these scriptures and see for yourself:
 | Matthew 24:35 reads, "Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but my WORDS shall not pass away." |
 | Psalms 138:2 says, ". . . for thou hast
magnified thy WORD above all thy name." |
 | Psalms 119:89 says, "For ever, O LORD,
thy WORD is settled in heaven." |
The spiritual life-blood of the human race is the
Word of G_d!
 | It brings salvation: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible, by the word of G_d. . ." (1 Peter 1:23) |
 | It produces faith: ". . . faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by
the word of G_d" (Romans 10:17). |
 | It produces spiritual growth: ". . .desire the sincere milk of
the word, that ye may grow thereby:" (1 Peter 2:2) |
Jesus Christ said in John 6:63, ". . .the words that I speak unto
you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE."
The
first time Satan attacked the human race, he did so by attacking the validity of the word of
G_d!
Genesis 3:1 says, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the
field which the Lord G_d had made. And he said unto the woman, YEA,
HATH G_d SAID. . .?"
Satan planted a seed of doubt into the
mind of Eve. The serpent got Eve to question the Word of G_d. Once he was able
to get Eve to question G_d's Word, Satan could then start the process of
replacing G_d's Word for Satan's Word.
Let's review Luke 8 where Jesus Christ tells us the Parable of the Sower.
Reviewing verses 11 and 12 you read,
"Now the parable is this: The SEED is
the word of G_d. . . THEN COMETH THE DEVIL, and taketh away the word.
. ."
Satan knows - if he can supplant even a small seed of doubt in G_d's Word -
MANKIND
WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!
Once Satan has gotten mankind to
doubt the Word of G_d, he will be free to offer man one of his many substitutes.
In our "modern times," we have seen a major increase in the accuracy
and viability of the Bible. Nothing has
flamed the fire of confusion and doubt more than the multiple Bible translations
now flooding the marketplace. Time magazine (April 20, 1981
p.62) reports,
". . . there is an UNPRECEDENTED CONFUSION of choices in
Bibles. Never have so many major new translations been on the market."
 |
Since
1880, over 200 different translations have appeared.
|
 |
Every six months a new
English version appears!
|
No Wonder People are
Confused!
The question has to be asked - is G_d the author of this flood of new versions?
Is G_d the author of CONFUSION in His word? 1 Corinthians 14:33, clearly states,
"G_d is NOT the author of CONFUSION."
BUT SATAN IS! He knows, if he can plant the smallest seed of doubt and
confusion - that individual will not take G_d's Word serious!
G_d promised to preserve His
word . . .
G_d promised in Psalms 12:7 that He would preserve His word, "Thou
shalt KEEP them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation FOR
EVER."
G_d keeps His promise! The King James
Bible is the preserved word of G_d. The new versions are clearly satanic
counterfeits designed to cast doubt, cause confusion and literally attack
every concept and idea about the person and work of Jesus Christ!
In the next section, we will start
learning about the changes the "modern translators" have made to
undermine the faith of every Christian and made them susceptible to every crazy
teaching around. Even worse, you will see how these new versions reduce
the believer in Christ to just another believer in a world religion.
