great honor and a great privilege and honestly it's epic because the decorations here are
super impressive and it's very clear that a lot of people have put in a lot of work
for this conference, a lot of things going on behind the scenes and really I've enjoyed
every single part of this conference, the preaching, hey the food was great yesterday
I had two burgers and a hot dog and yes it was all delicious, I've really enjoyed just
the fellowship and the fun and the atmosphere and of course I ran into the cyber truck and
it was epic as well alright and so it was a lot of fun and hey you know what I don't
just like to just show up at these conferences and just go through the motions, I like to
have fun and you know what I like about the new IFB is that we have fun and you know there
should be a fear of missing out on these conferences because it's just so epic and you know you
can still get a little bit from afar listening online and I encourage that but there's just
so much that's going on behind the scenes, the atmosphere, the fellowship, just the camaraderie
and just the spirit of this group and so I highly encourage you to participate in conferences
in the future.
Sure, Foundation Baptist Church is a great church, you need to get plugged in here.
When I get outside these walls, I'll be honest, it's weird out there, okay folks, you need
to come to church just to get around some normal people for a little while.
You know what I'm talking about?
And outside these walls, it seems like the modern versions are walking around.
You need to get in here into the King James Bible and get some normalcy, right?
And so, you know, I love the King James Bible, it's a super important issue to me.
I brought a lot of t-shirts with me and I'm not taking them back.
So if you haven't gotten one, make sure to get a Preserved Bible t-shirt.
We brought a lot of different ones.
If you haven't seen the movie, you've got to watch the Preserved Bible.
We really love that film and making it.
And this issue is really important to me.
In fact, I even named a church based on this issue, Pure Words Baptist Church, and it's
coming from our text here in Psalm chapter number 12, what does it say in verse 6, "The
words of the Lord are pure words as silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven
times.
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord; thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever."
And of course, we're in Sure Foundation Baptist Church.
We want to build our lives, our churches, everything on a sure foundation.
And in order for you to build it on a sure foundation, you've got to have a pure word.
You have to have something that's actually right and good.
And we believe the King James Bible is the pure words of God.
Now in this conference, we've heard a lot of really interesting, intriguing facts, information.
All kinds of different things have been brought into this conversation and I love it.
I love the history of the King James Bible.
I love all the arguments and the facts that go into why the King James Bible is the word
of God.
But you know what?
We don't walk by facts only.
We walk by faith.
And here's the thing, you have to have your faith in facts, of course.
But at the end of the day we believe the word of God because we put our faith in the word
of God.
And we don't always want to just base everything on evidence or just some kind of historical
idea or just someone's opinion.
We want to have our faith in the word of God.
And I really want to address this morning the idea of like why we can believe the King
James Bible from a faith perspective and really kind of take a big picture here and not just
get into all the minutia of the historical facts and all the different arguments and
all the underlying manuscripts.
You know, we can believe the King James Bible because of this in your hand.
And I don't want you to feel intimidated that maybe if you didn't always understand all
of the terminology and all the history and all the different characters that are involved
in this that you can't contribute to the King James only movement, that you can't be someone
that can convince the gain-saver, that you can't be someone that advocates for the King
James Bible and explain the King James Bible.
And what I want you to do is I want you to have so much confidence in this book that
you say, "Hey, I believe the King James Bible is Jesus Christ."
I mean, the Bible says in John chapter 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
is with God, and the Word was God."
This what we have here is not just some text here.
It's not just some book here.
We believe this is God.
The Word of God is God.
I want you to go to 1 John chapter number 1, go to 1 John chapter 1, and we're going
to look at a lot of Bible today.
I want to look at so much scripture, and we put our faith in scripture.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
My sermon title this morning is "The KJV is Jesus."
The KJV is Jesus, and I'm glad that He didn't leave us alone, that we can still commune
and fellowship with Jesus Christ.
Now, 1 John chapter 1, the Bible says, "That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled,
of the word of life."
The Bible says in verse 2, "For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
witness and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested
unto us.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship
with us, and truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ."
This is the apostle saying, "You can still have fellowship with Jesus Christ right now."
They have fellowship with Jesus Christ.
How can you have fellowship with Jesus Christ after the ascension up into heaven?
We can't fellowship with the man-person of Jesus Christ who's manifested, died for the
sins of the world, and has ascended, and we're waiting for His return, but we can fellowship
with the Word of God, and it is still Jesus, and truly our fellowship is with the Father
and the Son in the Word of God, and we believe that's found in the King James Version.
It's found in the King James Bible.
We don't just have a book here.
We have God communing and fellowshiping with us, and every man, woman, boy, girl can go
in their closet, and they can fellowship with Jesus.
They can open up their King James Bible, and they can know what Jesus wants for them to
do in their life.
We want to have confidence in that.
I want to go to John chapter number 10, if you would, John chapter number 10.
Of course, the person of the Word of God, Jesus Christ, was manifested, but we also
have the Word of God that's been manifested for us, and we have the King James Bible.
We need to use it.
We need to believe it.
Now, when it comes to this argument, you know, a lot of people, you know, they get really
technical about a lot of these things, and I'm all for that.
Every historical fact points to the King James Bible being the Word of God.
Every part of history and reality and all of this stuff points to it.
But at the end of the day, you know, when we talk about Jesus Christ himself, he was
a real person, and there was always this controversy of who is he?
Who is Jesus?
I mean, he was just a man among us, but he wasn't just a man.
He was the Son of God.
He was God manifest in the flesh, and some believed and some did not.
Why did they believe that Jesus Christ was the Christ when he was manifested?
And I think when you understand the same arguments for why people would believe Jesus was the
Christ, we can apply those same arguments to the King James Bible itself in a really
unique and interesting way.
Look at John chapter 10 verse 25, the Bible says this.
Let's do verse 24.
I'm sorry.
"Then came the Jews round about him and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt?
If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly."
So they're saying, we don't want to be confused.
If you're the Christ, just tell us that you're the Christ.
And this is Jesus answering verse 25, Jesus answered them, I told you.
And here's the thing, people today they say, oh, well, don't make us doubt if that's really
the word of God.
Just tell us that the King James Bible is the word of God.
And let me tell you something, it does tell you that it's the word of God.
The King James Bible, in fact, I would argue is the only Bible claiming to be the word
of God.
And it's in a very unique way.
Now let's read the rest of this verse, it says, "I told you and you believe not.
The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."
You know why people believe that Jesus Christ was the Christ?
Because he witnessed that he was the Christ.
He witnessed that he was the Christ.
And here's the thing, why do I believe the King James Bible is the word of God and not
the others is because this one's witnessing that it's the word of God and the other ones
aren't even making that same claim.
And I'm gonna read a few things for you, but I wanna go to some other passages as well.
The Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ said He was the Son of God.
Back up a chapter, chapter 9, look at verse 35.
The Bible says, "Jesus heard that thou had cast him out, and when he had found him, he
said in him, 'Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'
And he answered and said, 'Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?'
And Jesus said in him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.'"
Hey, Jesus just plainly said, "Hey, I'm the Son of God.
You're talking with Him.
I'm right here."
He wasn't trying to make people doubt.
He was out and openly saying, "Hey, I'm the Son of God."
He was testifying that he was the Christ.
They just didn't believe it.
Imagine just saying like, "I'm the Son of God, I'm right here," and they're like, "Just
tell us plainly."
Can you just kind of like make it clear?
It's like, what do you want?
What do you want me to say?
I already said that I am the Christ, I'm the Son of God.
I'll show you some more passages of this.
Go to John chapter number 4, go back a little bit, the Gospel of John is a great book of
the Bible.
Now, he meets a woman and she's kind of questioning like who he is, asking him different questions.
Verse 24, the Bible says, "God is the Spirit and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and truth."
Jesus is communing with this woman, talking with her, he says, "Hey, God's the Spirit."
Verse 25, the woman says to him, "I know that Messiah has cometh, which is called Christ.
When he has come, he will tell us all things."
Jesus saith unto her, "I that speak unto thee, am he."
I mean, how much more clear could you get, "Hey, when the Christ shows up, he's going
to tell us everything," and he's just like, "Oh yeah, that's me.
Yeah, I'm that guy that you're talking about."
I mean, how much more plain do you want him to explain it to you?
Go to Mark chapter 14, go to Mark chapter 14.
Was the problem that Jesus didn't claim to be the Christ?
No, the problem was they just didn't believe it.
He says, "I told you, and you believe not."
It's not that Jesus didn't make it clear that he was the Christ.
In fact, that's the reason why they wanted to kill him, is because he did make it clear
that he said he was the Christ.
Let me prove this.
Mark chapter 14, and this is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, look at verse 61, "But
he held his peace and answered nothing."
So they're constantly attacking him here, the Pharisees and the high priest.
It says, "But he held his peace and answered nothing."
Again, the high priest asked him and said to him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of
the blessed?"
Hey, don't make us wonder if you're the Christ.
Are you the Christ?
See what he answered in verse 62, "And Jesus said, 'I am.'"
He wasn't trying to conceal who he was.
He wasn't trying to hide who he was.
He wasn't using some kind of ambiguous language.
They said, "Hey, are you the Christ?"
And he just said, "I am."
Why do I believe that Jesus is the Christ?
Because he said he was the Christ.
You know why I don't believe other people are the Christ?
They didn't even say they were the Christ.
What do we think about other religions?
Hey, guess what?
Muhammad never said he was the Christ.
He's not even claiming to be the Christ.
You know why I think Muhammad's not the Christ?
He didn't even say he was the Christ.
You look at Gandhi, you look at Buddha,
you look at other historical figures in times past,
they didn't even claim to be the Christ.
Now Tyler Doaker claimed to be the Christ,
but he even got Alpha and Omega tattooed on his face, all right?
He even measured his head because it's the temple, all right?
But that was temple zero he was measuring,
you know what I mean?
He's not the hero, he's the zero.
And he's gonna burn in hell for all of eternity.
Look, obviously some people throughout history
have claimed to be Christ,
but if we were just to narrow it down
to the few people that have claimed to be Christ,
it's not really hard to figure out
which one was the real Christ.
And we have to understand that Jesus made it clear,
I am the Christ.
Now let me say something about the King James Bible.
It also makes it clear that this is the word of God.
It's not like it's not trying to claim
that this is the word of God.
It makes that claim repeatedly.
And I'm going to read a few different things for you.
But if you read the Epistle Dedicatory,
that's the fancy term for basically just the preface,
or that you open the King James Bible,
just the first part of this book,
you're going to get this really great quote.
And I'm not going to read the whole quote.
You can check it out in the Preserved Bible.
You can read it in the replica.
But I want to focus in on just one part of this quote.
In the King James Bible preface,
or the Epistle of Dedicatory, it says this,
that they wanted to have one more exact translation
of the Holy Scriptures in the English tongue.
So let me explain.
The King James Bible is claiming
that it is an exact translation
of the Holy Scriptures in the English tongue.
That's the claim it makes.
And you know what?
I believe that.
I believe that claim.
It's making the claim that it's an exact translation.
Now you open up the NIV.
What is its claim?
It says the New International Version
is a completely new translation of the Holy Bible.
So think about it this way.
This one's saying this is an exact translation,
and then a new one comes out of nowhere and says,
hey, I'm something completely new.
I'm just gonna believe what they told me.
This is not an exact translation of the Holy Scriptures.
This is something completely new.
Now on the surface, you know,
if you can read maybe the edges of this or what was on this,
if I just had two books up here,
you're not gonna necessarily know which one's the word of God
just by looking at this book, right?
And in the same way, when Jesus Christ shows up on the scene,
you just see a guy.
He's just standing there amongst all the other people.
And John the Baptist is even saying,
"Hey, there's one standing among you whom ye know not."
Right?
And what ended up separating Jesus Christ
from the rest of the crowd?
He claimed to be the Christ, and the other ones didn't.
And you know, you get a sea of Bibles out there.
There's one that's claiming to be the exact translation
of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue,
and the rest are saying, "This is new, this is different,
this is something that's not really the Word of God."
This is the one making the claim.
Why would I even trust the ones
that aren't even making the claim?
It's funny, if you get the ESV,
this is what's so funny, is the ESV,
this is the opening lines of their preface, okay?
It says, "This book is the most valuable."
With these words, I'm sorry, let me read the whole quote, okay?
It says, "This book is the most valuable thing
"that this world affords.
"Here is wisdom, this is the royal law,
"these are the lively oracles of God."
And it's in quotes, so it's quoting something else.
And it says, "With these words,
"the moderator of the Church of Scotland hands a Bible
"to the new monarch and Britain's coronation service."
These words echo the King James Bible translators
who wrote in 1611, quote, "God's sacred word
"is that inestimable treasure that exceleth
"all the riches of the earth."
This assessment of the Bible is the motivating force
behind the publication of the English Standard Version.
This is insane, okay?
Because the quote that they had at the very beginning
is actually a quote from 1953
when the Archbishop of Canterbury presented a Bible
to the new monarch, which was Queen Elizabeth II.
So Queen Elizabeth II was becoming the new monarch
in Britain in 1953, June 2nd.
She was handed a Bible and when they handed her this Bible,
they said, "We present you with this book,
"the most valuable thing that this world affords.
"Here is wisdom.
"This is the royal law.
"These are the lively oracles of God."
And again, they're saying this echoes the sentiment
that this is an inestimable treasure
that exceleth all the riches of the earth.
And you know what they handed her?
A King James Bible.
Why in the world would you then quote that
and say, "Now we need to give you something different?"
I mean, it's just like these people are insane
that they open up, you're reading this,
after I read that I think like,
"I need to get a King James Bible.
"That's what I need to get."
The inestimable treasure?
The thing that exceleth all wisdom?
The thing that's just the most important thing,
the most important document,
that's the thing that's supposed to be guarded by Britain?
Yeah, I'm gonna get a King James Bible.
How silly is it to sit here and say, like,
"Hey, the King James Bible is the inescapable treasure.
Get this other thing."
Now, how about I just get the one you just told me was excellent?
How about I get the one that's the thing
that you can't even put a price on, the King James Bible?
That's the one that I'm gonna get.
Why? Because the King James Bible is witnessing to be the word of God.
The other ones are witnessing that this is the word of God.
So just believe the ESV and just say,
"Hey, this is the one we need to get, all right?"
You're like, "Hey, why are you King James only?"
'Cause the ESV told me to be King James only.
That's why.
Have you ever read it?
Oh, why don't you use the NIV?
'Cause it told me it's something completely different.
I'm telling you what they are saying.
This is their words.
It doesn't really make a lot of sense
to be pro these other versions.
They're something different.
They're not the exact translation.
This is the exact translation into the English tongue.
We need to get on this program.
The Bible said in Psalm 12
that the words of the Lord are gonna be preserved
from this generation and forever.
Of course, if we think about that,
that was written in Hebrew.
So why would I not believe then
that the Hebrew had been preserved?
And if the Hebrew's been preserved, then you know what?
I wanna use the Hebrew for all of my Old Testament
and not use something else.
And the modern versions are not always using the Hebrew.
Sometimes they're using the Septuagint.
And the problem I have is when they're using the Septuagint
and saying something stupid.
And we're gonna go to some examples here a little bit later,
but it's very clear that the King James Bible
is standing out among the others.
Why?
Because it's witnessing that it's standing out
above the others.
Just like Jesus did, Jesus is standing out,
Jesus is making these claims.
Go to Matthew chapter number five,
go to Matthew chapter number five,
the Bible is telling us
that the word of God has been preserved.
Well, if the Bible's been preserved,
then we have to find a Bible
that can even match that historically.
And look, the King James Bible's the only one
that can make that witness.
It's the only one that can make that claim
that is coming from a manuscript history
that's been preserved, that's been used,
that's always been around.
These new versions came out of the trash can, literally.
Constantin von Tischendorf admits
that he found a Septuagint in the trash,
and now it's Sinaiticus,
and that's where the modern versions are coming from.
Trash can Bibles.
Why would you want one coming out of the trash?
I want one that's coming out of the hands
of another saved believer,
handing it down to the next generation.
That's the real witness,
not the one coming from the trash can.
Matthew 5, look at verse number 18.
The Bible says, "For verily I say unto you,
till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall no wise pass from the law to all be fulfilled."
The Bible is telling us that not one jot or one tittle
is going to pass from the law,
which is giving reverence to the Hebrew.
It's saying, hey, the Hebrew is not going anywhere.
We got the Hebrew and we need to believe in the Hebrew.
We want to have that, why?
The Bible is witnessing that the Hebrew is going to last.
The Bible is witnessing that it's going to be preserved.
We could go to Isaiah and many other places that say,
hey, you're going to have this
from this generation and forever.
I want to go to Revelation chapter number one,
Revelation chapter number one.
There's many places in the Bible
where it even tells you in the New Testament,
it'll just kind of give you this quote.
It'll just say like, oh, and the Hebrew says this,
or in the Hebrew, such and such.
Now think about it, if you're writing a Bible,
if you're writing something in Hebrew,
would you have to clarify that that's what that means in Hebrew?
No, you're obviously be writing it in a different language.
Why? Because the New Testament's written in Greek.
The New Testament is written in Greek.
And of course, we also believe that the Greek has been preserved.
We need every word of God.
Revelation chapter number one, look at verse number eight.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,
say the Lord, which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty.
The Bible gives reference to the jot and tittle.
It also gives reference to the Alpha and the Omega.
So we have the Bible inside of itself, an internal witness to the Hebrew and to the Greek.
Go to John chapter 5, go back to John chapter 5.
We're doing sword drill as we preach here, all right?
You're going to turn to a lot of Bible.
And I'm hoping that, you know, this morning, one of these points can resonate with you.
Try to get it deep into your mind.
And when you approach people and you're trying to explain this issue,
hey, say, hey, the King James is the one making the claim that it's the word of God.
The other ones don't.
Jesus is the one claiming to be Jesus Christ.
That's why I believed him.
The other ones aren't even making that claim.
John chapter 5, look what it says in verse 2.
Now, there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda.
Why is it saying in the Hebrew tongue?
Because this is in Greek.
Go to chapter 19, go to chapter 19, look at verse 13.
John chapter number 19, verse 13.
Why doesn't it say, oh, in the Septuagint it says this.
Oh, in the Greek it says this.
It's saying in the Hebrew.
What is the Bible saying?
Hey, we need to go back to the Hebrew.
We need to have the Hebrew for the Old Testament.
You say, where'd you get that opinion?
The Bible told me.
The Bible itself says Hebrew.
In Greek, it says Hebrew.
Why, I need to get the Hebrew for the Old Testament.
John chapter 19, look at verse 13.
When Pilate therefore heard that saying,
he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat
in a place that is called the pavement,
but in the Hebrew, Gabatha.
Look at verse 17.
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place
called the place of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha.
Look at verse 19.
And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross,
and the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.
This title then read many of the Jews
for the place where Jesus was crucified
was nigh to the city.
And it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.
Then said the chief priest of the Jews
to Pilate, write not the King of the Jews,
but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
Now think about it, they're saying,
oh, he's not really the King of the Jews,
but he did say it.
Oh wait, didn't they say earlier,
he never said any of this?
Hey, you're trying to make us doubt, you know,
why don't you just tell us plainly?
And then they're admitting,
he said he was the King of the Jews.
And he's like, no, I'm not gonna write that he said that.
You know what I'm gonna write?
He is the King of the Jews.
I'm not gonna say this claims to be the word of God,
it is the word of God.
This is the word of God.
But you know why?
It said it was the word of God.
I believe the King James Bible
because of the witness of the King James Bible.
Go to Luke chapter four, go to Luke chapter number four.
Modern versions don't say that.
The modern versions downplay the importance
of the word of God.
They take parts of the word of God out.
Luke 4.4 is honestly, this is my go-to.
I'm just giving you, I'm giving you my number one tool.
All right?
If you want to show somebody a verse
when you're out soul winning,
when you're talking to family members,
you want to say, hey, these Bibles are different.
I always go to Luke 4.4.
Now they don't take the whole verse out
in the modern versions,
but they take a phrase out.
And this phrase is a really important phrase.
Look at Luke 4.4.
It says, "And Jesus answered him, saying,
'It is written that man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word of God.'"
Most every modern version
will just take that phrase right out of there,
especially the NIV, some of these popular ones.
And you say, hey, why do you use the King James Bible?
Because it has every word of God in it.
And your Bible doesn't have every word of God in it.
Literally, metaphorically, and every way.
I mean, that just sounds good, doesn't it?
Your Bible doesn't have every word of God.
My Bible says every word of God.
You're like, hey, how do you-- because my Bible even claims to have every word of God.
Because it said it was an exact translation.
An exact translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue.
Yours is a new translation that took out every word of God.
And that's why we hate it.
That's why we don't want it.
And let me tell you something.
It's another Jesus.
This is Jesus.
And you know what, the Bible warns in 2 Corinthians chapter number 11 that there's people coming
that are going to corrupt the word of God and they're preaching another Jesus.
I don't like the Jesus of the NIV.
I don't like the Jesus of the ESV because it's another Jesus.
I like this Jesus because he's pure.
They make Jesus a liar.
They twist and corrupt who Jesus is.
In Micah, they'll say he's got an origin.
My Jesus Christ doesn't have an origin.
He's from everlasting.
And you know, a lot of these verses are important. Micah 5 2 is a great verse to show people
why the modern versions are bad because they give him an origin.
The King James Bible says he's from everlasting.
And you know, our argument is not an argument that's pedantic.
We're showing clear places where they're taking things out.
I don't want to missing Jesus.
I want an every word of God of Jesus.
I want you to go back to John chapter number 10.
Here's another thing I think is really interesting is that when Jesus Christ was talking with
different people and preaching the word of God, there's always this dispute about him.
We're going to John 10.
I actually want to look at John 6.
I'm sorry.
I want to look at John 6 too.
Look at what it says.
I'm getting ahead of myself.
We're going to go back to John 10.
All right?
I'm just testing to see how good you guys are on sword drill.
All right?
You guys are really flexible with me on this, but here's the point.
When Jesus Christ, they're constantly arguing and disputing about themselves about where
he's from.
And they're saying like, "Oh, he's from Nazareth."
And they're like, "Well, you know, that can't be the Christ then because Christ is going
to be from Bethlehem."
But here's the thing.
Jesus is from Bethlehem.
And you know what you'll hear, and you've probably heard all these arguments, and we're
trying to defeat their arguments.
The other side will constantly say things like, "Well, actually that reading in the text is
coming from Erasmus' commentary, or someone just added it, or it's a conjecture, or they're
just adding something into the text."
And it's like, "But wait a minute, that's just the same people that are saying, 'Well,
he's actually from Nazareth, not Bethlehem.'"
No, he's from Bethlehem.
You just don't know the history.
And you're like, "Do we believe that Jesus Christ is from Bethlehem because we have a
birth certificate?"
Obama knows something about birth certificates and how that doesn't, you know, that's not
always reliable anyways.
But you think, "Why do we believe that Jesus Christ is from Bethlehem?"
Because the Bible says so.
We don't have a birth certificate.
We don't have CCTV of the manger and whatever is going on in there.
We don't have Joseph freaking out and just thinking like, "What in the world did I get
myself into?"
No, no, no.
We believe it because the Bible says it.
And here's the thing.
He's like, "Well, why do you believe the King James Bible is the Word of God?"
Because the Bible says it's going to be preserved.
That's why I believe it.
Oh, but do you have the original autographs?
No one has the original autographs.
No one has the birth certificate of Jesus Christ being in Bethlehem.
But you know what?
I believe it by faith.
But you know what?
We know where your Bible came from.
It came from the trash.
And that's definitely not the Word of God.
You know, while you go back historically, yeah, the King James Bible, all the evidence
stuff kind of fades into history, fades with history.
The further you go back, it kind of fades and it just goes into faith.
It goes from historical facts into faith because God wants us to believe the Bible by faith.
He wants us to believe that Jesus is from Bethlehem by faith, not by just historical arguments.
And look, all the history matches.
All the facts match.
All of the logic, all of the reasoning, all the things, all the witnesses, they all agree.
But let me tell you something.
I believe that Jesus is from Bethlehem because the Bible tells me so.
And I believe the Bible has been preserved because the Bible tells me so.
And I believe that I need every word of God because Jesus said that I need every word
of God.
And I believe this is hey, the exact translation of the Holy Scripture because it told me it
was the exact translation of the Holy Scripture.
And I even believe it because the ESV told me to as well.
It says it's the most precious thing, it said this is the most valuable thing on the planet
because it is.
Why in the world would I trade it for anything else?
Something inferior.
Here's another reason that we believe Jesus is not just because he witnessed that he was
the Christ, but what does he say in verse 25 again, let's read it.
"Jesus answered them, 'I told you and you believe not, the works that I do in my Father's name,
they bear witness of me, but ye believe not, because you're not of my sheep, as I said
unto you.'"
Number one, Jesus witnessed that he was the Christ, but here's the second thing he says,
"Well, if you don't believe my witness, just believe the works."
You know why I believe Jesus is the Christ?
The works!
All the different works that he did.
And again, you have these two books on the pulpit, how do you know which one is the one
you're going to use?
Well, let's just look at the works.
That's how you pick the one that's the right one.
You look at the works of the book itself.
Not just as witness, what is the works that's coming from it?
Let's keep reading here in John chapter number 10 because there's a lot of other verses.
Look at verse number 32.
The Bible says, "Jesus answered the many good works, 'Have I showed you from my Father?
For which of those works do you stone me?'"
He's saying, "How come you not believe me?
I've done all these good works.
How are my works bad?"
And it's like, hey, let's look at the King James Bible.
What work came from this book that you would get rid of it?
It's only good works.
This is only producing good fruit.
Why would you get rid of it when it's only giving you good works?
What was the cause in the 60s, 70s, and 80s when the modern version said we need to come
out with a new one?
What was the problem?
What was the issue?
There was no issue.
It was only good works.
Why would you get rid of it?
Oh yeah, money.
We'll get to that point in a minute.
Look at verse 37.
"If I do not the works of my father, believe me not."
Hey, if the King James Bible isn't working.
If the King James Bible isn't producing the fruit.
If the King James Bible isn't producing the results, why would we believe it?
Why did we believe that Jesus is the Christ?
Not only because he died on the cross, but he rose again.
It's the gospel.
It's the works that he did.
It's why we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe his resurrection.
And it was the works that confirmed that he was the Christ, confirmed who he said he was.
And let me tell you something.
The King James Bible is constantly being confirmed by the works that it produces.
The fact that it lives.
Jesus Christ lives.
He's not in some grave somewhere.
You know, the Geneva Bible was put in a grave and until recently hasn't even been resurfaced.
It's resurfaced for nerds and weirdos, alright?
But the King James Bible has never been put in the grave.
The King James Bible is living.
The King James Bible is being used.
Go to Mark chapter 16, go to Mark chapter number 16.
This point is a major point in the Bible that Jesus is saying, "Hey, even if you don't
believe what I said, you should just believe me for the works, by itself."
It makes it evident.
Wisdom is justified over children.
If Jesus is the Christ, then he would do the works of Christ.
And we saw him do the works of Christ, which confirmed that he was the Christ.
He didn't even have to say it, just on the works alone.
We could have believed it, and of course, some people do say they're the Christ, but
then we see their works.
They put a tattoo of Alpha and Omega on their face.
When the Bible says to not print marks on your body, Jesus would never break the Old
Testament law like that.
He also would not be an idiot and think the earth is flat, because he's been looking down
from heaven for the last, you know, 4,000 years before he showed up.
He wasn't on Temple Zero with some flathead idea.
He knew that he's been looking down from heaven saying how it's a sphere.
In fact, he made it with his own hands.
He made that perfect sphere.
What an incredible creator.
The Bible says that the earth hangs upon nothing.
God's creation is so magnificent, what God has created.
Mark chapter 16, look what it says in verse 15, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel of every creature.
He that believeth in the baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe.
In my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take
up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them.
They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on
the right hand of God.
And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the
word with signs, following Amen.
He's saying the legitimate apostles went out and they did all these things.
And you read the book of Acts, you can see all of these things being confirmed.
You see the apostle Paul getting bitten by a serpent that comes out of the fire.
And again, he survives.
They think he's even a god as a result of this.
We see the apostles going out and just doing miracles, healing people.
We see them speaking with new tongues, all kinds of different languages they've never
studied before, speaking natively.
They're not like a gringo like me, speaking Spanish.
They're out there speaking fluently.
It sounds great.
The wonderful works of God.
Say, how do you know that the Pentecostals aren't legit?
Because they never heal anybody.
When they get bit by the serpent, they die.
And when they speak, no one ever thinks, "Wow, that was amazing."
You look like you're in the Caesar.
Get him to the hospital, quick!
Do you think about it?
I mean, think about it.
Why do they have to go to the hospital?
Number one, because them talking sounds like an idiot, sounds like they're having a seizure.
Number two, because they can't heal themselves.
And number three, when they get bit by the serpent, that's their only chance to survive.
Why are the Pentecostals not legit?
Their works don't follow.
And you know what?
They also have a false gospel.
They preach that you can lose your salvation, whereas, hey, we know that the King James
Bible is the word of God because we see the works following with the King James Bible.
And we see the apostles were confirmed by their works and what they did.
And we believe Jesus for His works, we believe the apostles for their works, and we believe
the King James Bible for His works.
And we reject those who don't have the works because Jesus said, "Hey, if I don't have
the works, believe me not."
I don't believe the Pentecostals because they don't have the works.
I don't believe the NIV because it doesn't have the works.
I don't believe the ESV because it doesn't have the works.
Go to John chapter number 5, go to John chapter number 5, look at verse 36.
John chapter number 5, look at verse number 36, Jesus says this, "But I have greater witness
than that of John for the works which the Father have given me to finish, the same works
that I do bear witness of me that the Father has sent me."
He's saying, "Hey, I'm better than John the Baptist because I'm doing better works than
John the Baptist."
And let me tell you something, you know who's the best in Christianity?
The one that's doing the greatest works.
Oh, you and the new IP, you think you're better than the people here?
Okay, how many of you people did you get saved this weekend?
Oh, we got more?
Oh, how many mission strips you got?
Oh, we got more?
Oh, how many people you got in attendance?
Oh, we got more?
How many coupable do you have?
None?
I mean, look, yeah, the people that are doing the most are doing the greatest.
And you know what?
They're being more confirmed by God.
You want to know where the Spirit of God is?
I'll show you some works.
Hey, show me your faith by what you say, and I'll show you my faith by my works.
Faith without works is dead.
And at the end of the day, hey, this book would be dead if it didn't have any works.
But you know what?
This is the one having the works.
This is dead.
The modern versions are not producing the works.
And you know what?
I want nothing to do with it.
Go over to John 14.
Of course, what was the greatest work that Jesus Christ did?
Because let me tell you something.
Both John the Baptist and Jesus died a martyr's death.
But you know what separates John the Baptist from Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ came back from the dead.
John the Baptist died and his body was buried.
Jesus Christ came out of the grave, which is a greater witness and is a greater work
and testified that Jesus was the Christ.
Many men before had died a martyr's death, but only one rose from the grave.
And the Bible makes it clear in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, without the resurrection we have
no hope.
It is the resurrection that gives us that salvation.
It's that blood that he took and sprinkled on the mercy seat.
And we have that blood atonement that was placed on that altar that gives us that salvation.
John chapter 14, look what it says in verse number 11, the Bible says, "Believe me that
I am the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I shall do, or I do,
shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father."
The Bible says that we can somehow do greater works, not in quality, but in quantity.
But we need to get Jesus Christ in our hand, and that's what's going to give us those
greater works.
If you think about the King James Bible, what kind of works does it have?
Oh yeah, it's the most published and printed book ever.
Over one billion copies of the King James Bible are floating around out there, and I'm
doing my job to get it to do more.
Fifty-five percent of people in the United States, when surveyed in 2014, said they prefer
the King James Version.
Fifty-five percent, and this is all modern versions included.
The second highest was the NIV at 19 percent, or crushing the NIV.
Eighty to one hundred million Americans use the King James Bible.
And you know, the NIV, it has the 1978, it has the 1984, it has the 2005, and then it
had the faggot one in 2011, right?
The gender-neutral.
Anytime someone uses that phrase, I want to stay away from them.
That's just how I know, it's like the COVID mask, you know, the double masking or something.
It's like, I just want to stay away from you.
And let me tell you something, the churches that are right on soul winning and right on
doctrine have a King James Bible in their hand.
We can see the work's evidence.
We can see the work's difference.
It doesn't take some genius.
It doesn't take some college education.
It doesn't take studying all the history to just look at, hey, this is the church actually
going out and getting people saved.
This church is not getting people saved.
It's the King James Bible.
Hey, this church has the right doctrine.
The men are men and the women are women.
Hey, they're actually in subjection over here.
That's the real church.
That's the one I want to be a part of.
I don't want to go to some church where some woman is going to tell me, "Hey, that's not
really the Bible.
It's misogynistic."
You need a King James Bible to tell you what to do.
You need a man to tell you what to do.
The man Christ Jesus and he's right here.
You don't want some effeminate lesbian NIV version telling you what to do.
Yes, there was a lesbian working on the style committee of the NIV.
I don't want my King James Bible to be styled by a lesbian dyke.
I want it to be done by men.
52 men.
King James.
It's the King James version.
It's not done by some lesbian dyke.
I'm offended.
Well, leave.
John 19.
Go to John John 19.
Hey, you go to these, you go to these churches and it feels like a dyke's running the service
too.
Called the United Methodist Church.
You go to the Quaker Church, you got some dyke and faggot leading that service too.
You go and look at the fruit of these modern versions and it's a bunch of FRUITS in the
congregation!
It's a fruit behind the pulpit!
You go to a church that has a King Day's Bible and you know what?
You're going to hear a man thunder forth the word of God.
You're going to hear some hairy legged man that doesn't care about your feelings just
preaching you the raw truth of God's word.
And let me tell you something, this King Day's Bible doesn't care about your feelings.
It's going to tell you like it is because the word of God is sharp.
It's going to pierce.
It's going to divide.
Out of this division.
Yeah, the King Day's Bible divides.
Your soft version unites around faggotry and feminism and all kinds of just garbage.
I don't want it.
John chapter number 19, look at verse 14.
Here's a third point if you haven't gotten already.
Why do I believe the King Day's Bible is the word of God?
Well, number one, the witness.
Number two, the works.
Here's another thing I like about it is the words.
Look at John chapter 19, look at verse number four, "Pilate therefore went forth again and
say unto them, Behold I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault
in him."
Why did they, what's up with Jesus?
We can't find a single problem with Jesus Christ.
And let me tell you something, you can study this, examine this, you can put it under the
microscope, you can do whatever you want, and you'll find no fault in this.
It takes like five seconds to open this trash, and it's just like error, problem, mistake,
sounds faggity, whatever, you know?
It's like I find a lot of faults in this one.
And some people think like, "Oh, you make a big deal about this one verse or this one
mistake or whatever."
Yeah, I do.
Just like it's like, "Oh, well, you know, why is one mistake a big deal?"
Well, think about it this way.
How about we apply this to any other area of our life?
"Oh, well, my wife, she's been faithful every single night except for one.
She committed adultery, raging adultery on one night."
No big deal, just one night.
That's a big deal.
In fact, you know what, even the King James itself, there was the wicked Bible translation
where virtually just one mistake was found in it.
It said, "Thou shalt commit adultery."
The publishers made a King James edition where it said, "Thou shalt commit adultery."
And they're, you know, whoever made that got punished severely.
And you know what they did to him?
They burned them with one mistake.
It's the King James Bible.
It's virtually the same everywhere else.
But they found that one mistake and they said, "That's enough.
Burn it."
And let me tell you something.
According to God's law, you're faithful to your spouse for 50 years, and you commit adultery
one night, death.
And you know what they did with it?
They burned it.
And how dare you burn the NIV?
Well, there's people in the history burning King James if it had "thou shalt commit adultery."
And look, that's not the only example.
There's many examples of where they would find an error, find a blemish, and they would
say, "Burn it," because we want an exact translation of the Holy Scriptures into the
English tongue.
How dare you accept the Bible that you can have even one glaring issue, even one blemish
like that, saying, "No, we're going to burn it with fire, and we're going to get the exact
translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue."
You know what I like about the King James Bible?
I find no fault in it.
I like the words in it.
Jesus Christ, what does it say?
This is so good.
I love John chapter 19, verse 5, "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns and
the purple robe, and Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man, when the chief priests therefor
and officers saw him, they cried out saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him."
And look, you can even ask secular scholars and people that aren't even Christian, and
they'll be like, "Yeah, King James is the best.
It's no fault.
It's right."
Even Pilate has to just be like, "This guy's right."
It's like Ronald Reagan.
As pious judges try to get it right, it will not dawn on them, it has already been gotten
right.
Ronald Reagan is not a beacon of righteousness, folks.
He signed into law the no-fault divorce for California as governor.
He's got a lot of other issues, too.
But even he could say, "Hey, it's already been gotten right.
It's already right.
I find no fault.
There's no reason to authorize another version here."
If we keep reading, it says in verse number six, or verse seven, "The Jews answered him,
'We have a law, and by our law you have to die,' because he made himself the Son of God."
Why do they not like Jesus?
Because he's like, "He's made himself the Son of God."
You know why they don't like the King James?
Because it's made itself the Word of God.
It's made itself the Word of God, has it not?
I mean, this thing is the Word of God.
Look at verse nine.
"And went out again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, 'Whence art thou?'
But Jesus gave him no answer."
Now, here's the thing, obviously I can't like talk to my Bible and it talked back.
It's not AI, right?
I can't be like, "Hey, are you the Bible?"
And it's like, hey, some people they just want like, they want some proof that's never
going to happen.
And it's like, how many times does Jesus have to tell you?
But you know, to the people that don't want to believe, sometimes they just get no answer.
We need to just believe it by faith and trust in the Word of God.
Look at verse 34 in this chapter, it says, "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced
his side and forth came out their out blood and water, and he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true, and he knoweth that he sayeth true, that he might believe."
Look, the Word of God is testifying, hey, this is true and we know that it's true, that
you could believe that this is true, and we're telling you, hey, this is the Word of God.
Believe that it's the Word of God.
This record is true.
You can't find a fault in it.
I love the words of the scripture.
Why?
Because the Bible says that the scripture cannot be broken.
Let's read this verse in here.
I'm struggling to find it.
You can help me.
Where does it say that?
I just need to read this verse, verse 36, "For these things were done, that the scripture
should be fulfilled, a bone of him shall not be broken, and again another scripture sayeth,
they shall look on whom they have pierced."
The Bible, what is the verse I'm looking for?
Let's go back to John 10, you're right.
Sorry, if you can read my notes, then you know, you could help me.
John 10, verse 35, "If he called them gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture
cannot be broken," the scripture can't be broken, Jesus, what he said, you couldn't
ever gainsay it, he always confounded every single person that asked him a question, let
me tell you something, you can't break this text.
But if I sit here and scrutinize the NIV ESV, I'll show you where it's broken all day long.
I believe Jesus Christ because he couldn't mess up, he never messed up, no contradiction,
whereas these texts constantly are messing up.
Let's go to places where it's kind of messing up, go to John chapter 6, go to John chapter
number 6, and this is what's so funny to me, is some people will find a place in the King
James or they'll hear some argument that they can't really understand, and they'll think
like well I'm not sure about that one spot or maybe there is a blemish or something,
but think about the logic, okay, let's say you took that logic, then what are you going
to do about it?
What Bible are you going to use?
And I like in John chapter number 6, it says in verse 67, "Then said Jesus unto the twelve,
will ye also go away?
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord to whom shall we go?
That's the words of a journalite, if you're going to get rid of this, what are you going
to get?
Because the other things are definitely broken, it's not even a question if they're broken,
it's obviously broken.
This one, you might in your mind think that there's something broken, but let me tell
you something, it's not legitimate.
But what kind of philosophy are you going to have?
Are you going to reject all the rest of the Bible that constantly said, "Hey, it's preserved,
every word, it can't be broken, God's going to give it to you pure, this is an exact translation."
You're going to throw all that in the trash because you think somehow there's a mistake.
And you're being prideful at that point.
You need to realize the scripture can't be broken, and if you believe the Bible, if you
believe that the Bible's been preserved, if you believe you need every word, this is your
only option anyways.
Who are you going to go to?
This is the one that's right, and if you go to the NIV, John chapter 7, it makes Jesus
a liar.
Look what it says in verse number 8, "Go ye up unto this feast.
I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet full come."
Jesus is saying, "Hey, I can't go up right now because I can't go openly, otherwise bad
things will happen."
So he kind of went in secret, because it says in verse number 10, "But when his brethren
were gone up, then went he also up under the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret."
The modern versions take the word yet out and they make Jesus a liar.
He says, "I'm not going to this feast," and then he went.
The King James is saying, "Hey, I can't go with you guys, I'm not going yet," and then
he goes later.
You know why I don't like the NIV?
Because it makes Jesus a liar.
It breaks the scripture.
It's another Jesus and that Jesus is a liar.
My Jesus isn't a liar, he didn't go up yet.
He went up later.
And there's just many examples of this that we can show you over and over and over again
where there's just all kinds of issues with the modern versions.
I'm going to take a chance to do a few examples.
Go to Proverbs 8, Proverbs chapter number 8.
But I love the words of the King James Bible, number one because they can't be broken.
Number two, I like the authority of the King James Bible words because the Bible says never
man spake like this man spake.
The Bible says he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
Let me tell you something, you read the modern versions, they don't have the same authority.
They also don't have the same majesty.
I love the words of the King James Bible because they're majestic.
The words of the modern versions sound terrible.
You know, you read in the book of Hebrews and it says if you be without chastisement
then are you bastards and not sons.
You read the modern version, it says illegitimate child, illegitimate child.
No, no, no, you're a bastard.
And why in the world would a Christian get up and brag to everybody, hey I'm without
chastisement.
I'm already sanctified.
Well, if you're without chastisement, the Bible says then you're a bastard and not a
son.
Every son of God is going to be chastened, every son of God is going to be corrected
by God, otherwise you're not a son of God is what the Bible says.
People that get up and say you're not going to be chastised, saying you're not loved of
God and you're not of God, you're a bastard and not a son.
And you know what, I like that word.
How dare you call someone a bastard, I didn't, the Bible did.
If you tell me you are without chastisement, then I'll say you're a bastard and not a son.
I'm not going to say you're an illegitimate child.
That's not majestic.
That doesn't have authority.
That doesn't have power.
And you know what I like about the King James Bible words, hey, they have clarity.
And they have conviction.
And I like the cussing, yeah I said it.
I like the cussing of the King James Bible.
I like hell and damn and piss and all the other words that are in there too.
I just like how words, I like the words of the King James Bible.
And you know what, Jesus likes it too because the word of God is Jesus.
Jesus said bastard.
Jesus is the one saying hell in the Bible.
Jesus is the one saying these words.
We should not diminish a word, we should not make it inferior.
And the modern versions, they make it sound stupid, they have no authority, they have
no clarity, they have no conviction.
I love the King James Bible, it is the Jesus of this world.
Now I'm going to show you some examples here, well let's do some comparisons for a second,
alright?
I don't know after this sermon, but I'm going to ride it out to the bitter end.
If you ever ride with me, you know I ride it to the edge, alright?
I go hard.
Proverbs chapter 8 verse 22, King James says, "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of
his way, before his works of old."
Now Proverbs 8 is kind of talking about wisdom, but you see this like crossover, where you
kind of feel like, oh wow, he's actually, it feels like he's talking about Jesus.
Because he's talking about Jesus.
It's kind of a dualism, where it's about wisdom and it's about Jesus.
Why does it say the Lord possessed me?
Because Jesus is always with the Father.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Bible says in John chapter number 17 that Jesus Christ had glory with the Father before
the world was.
Jesus Christ has always been there, and he's got the Father's possession because he's
his son.
And let me tell you something, sons are possessions of their Father, not the government.
Let me tell you something, the Bible talks about ownership, and let me tell you something,
sons are owned by their Father.
And Jesus Christ was the possession of his Father.
And Jesus could say, "Hey, this is my Father," because he possesses him as his Father, and
the Father can look at his son and say, "This is my son, my only begotten son.
This is my child," as he possesses him.
NIV, the Lord brought me forth.
Now here's the thing, obviously Jesus brought forth, but let's listen to the rest of this.
As the first of his works before his deeds of old, that is blasphemy.
That is saying that Jesus was brought forth before the world.
That's Mormonism.
That's false doctrine.
That's all kinds of false religions that try to say Jesus is a created being.
There's all kinds of cults that suggest that Jesus is a created being.
No, Jesus Christ was with the Father from everlasting.
He doesn't have an origin.
He wasn't brought forth before the world.
No, no, he was brought into the world.
He was manifested.
He already existed.
The Word of God has always existed and Jesus has always existed.
I want to go to another one, look at Proverbs chapter 16 verse 1, Proverbs 16, look at verse
number 1.
The King James Bible says this, it says, "The preparations of the heart in man and the answer
of the tongue is from the Lord."
So the Bible says, "Hey, whatever is prepared in your heart and the answer of the tongue
is from God."
The NIV says, "To humans belong the plans of the heart."
What in the world?
How does that have the same majesty?
How does that have the same authority?
It doesn't even say the same thing!
The NIV is saying that the plans of the heart belong to humans.
The King James Bible is saying the preparations of heart and man and the answer of the tongue
is from the Lord.
Completely different.
"To the humans belong the plans of the heart."
This sounds terrible.
Look at chapter, or verse 6.
King James says, "By mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord men
depart from evil."
Sounds like people need to fear God.
What does the new King James say?
"In mercy and truth, atonement is provided for iniquity."
What?
The NIV.
Through love and faithfulness, sin is atoned for.
How many times do you knock on a door and they say you have to be faithful in order
to be saved?
You have to follow all the commandments to be saved.
That's coming from the NIV which says, "Hey, you have to have faithfulness, but let me
tell you something.
It's simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's a one-time trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ that saves you.
Salvation is a free gift.
It's not by faithfulness, which is really works."
They like that preface of faith in there.
It sounds like faith, but faithfulness is works.
It's not trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The NIV teaches work salvation.
Look at chapter 19, verse 18, chapter 19, verse 18.
The Bible says in the King James, "Chasing thy son while there is hope, and let not thy
soul spare for his crying."
Hey, the Bible says you should spank your kids.
And it says while there's hope.
There's no guarantee.
There's only hope.
You cannot guarantee the outcome of another person.
It's called free will.
But you know what?
If you want to have the best chance at raising God the kids, you need to chasten them.
No guarantee, but let me tell you something.
You're pretty much guaranteed to have a terrible kid if you don't spank them.
It's called Portland, Oregon.
You think that spanking works, well, we can see what doesn't work.
Not spanking definitely doesn't work.
And there is no guarantee, but let me tell you something.
If you want to have a chance at success, you better chasten thy son.
NIV, discipline your children for in that there is hope.
Do not be a willing party to their death.
What in the world?
Was this the word of God?
Go to Philippians.
Go in the New Testament.
Let's go to the Philippians.
I want to look at another example there.
The Philippians chapter 2, the NIV is garbage, folks.
Trash.
It needs to be burned.
And people that are offended at the NIV and burned don't really love Jesus.
They have a heart issue.
And they need to get their heart right with God.
Now look, obviously you say people are going to sometimes get led astray by another Jesus.
Sometimes say people are going to be ignorant of these issues.
Sometimes say people are going to have the wrong Bible in their hand.
But we need to come alongside them and educate them and show them these differences and get
their heart right with Jesus.
And in most cases they don't have the right Bible because it's not even saved.
They believe in work salvation.
Philippians chapter 2 verse 6, the Bible says, "Who being in the form of God thought it not
robbery to be equal with God."
Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God, and let me tell you something.
This King James Bible, it's not robbery for it to be equal with God, for it to be Jesus
Christ.
Somebody who might be offended, "Oh, you think the King James Bible is Jesus?"
Yes, I do.
Jesus is with me.
I have Jesus, I commune with Jesus, and it's not robbery for this to be equal with Jesus.
It's equal.
In the book of Isaiah and I of Esau, who being in very nature God did not consider equality
with God something to be used to his own advantage.
NASB, who although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a
thing to be grasped.
Oh Jesus, he can't be, he can't be equal with God.
That's not possible.
He can't even grasp that.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's wicked false doctrine.
Jesus Christ is God.
He realized that he was sent from God, and he realized he was of God, and he realized
that he could forgive sin, which only God can do, and he accepted worship, which only
God can do, and he said, "Hey, why callest thou me good?
There's none good but one, and that's God."
Jesus Christ realized he was equal with the Father by saying he was the Son of God.
And let me tell you something, the King James Bible realizes what it's saying when it says,
"Hey, this is an exact translation of the holy scriptures in the English tongue."
It is saying it is equal with God because it is God.
The Word of God is God.
Bible.
Go to Hebrews chapter number two, go to Hebrews chapter number two.
This guy's a little angry.
This guy's mad.
This guy's crazy.
I won't be back this afternoon, okay?
If you like all the other preachers and you like Pastor Thompson, come back, alright?
I don't know.
They keep inviting me so I just keep yelling and screaming, alright?
Hebrews chapter two, look at verse 16, "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels,
but he took on him the seed of Abraham."
The Bible says that Jesus didn't come in the form of an angel, he came in the form of mankind
so that he could taste death for every man, so that he could die and that he could experience
what we go through.
What does the modern versions say here?
The NIV.
"For surely it is not angels he helps."
What?
God doesn't help angels?
What does that even have to do with the passage?
"For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants."
What?
It has nothing, like it totally ruins the entire context of Hebrews chapter 2.
It's saying that Jesus didn't come in the form of an angel or in the form of God.
He came in the form of a man.
He humbled himself and he became a man, a servant, to give his life a ransom for many.
It's not saying, "I just showed up to help out some descendants," or whatever.
No, no, no.
He rebuked the Jews.
He preached against the Jews.
He got some of them saved and he died for the sins of the world.
But this is garbage.
It doesn't make sense.
New King James.
"For indeed he does not give aid to angels."
This isn't, this is not the word of God.
This is new.
"But he does give aid to the seed of Abraham."
Oh yeah, that's your Israeli foreign policy, isn't it?
Crash.
I'll make one more quick point.
Go, if you would, back to John chapter number 10.
Go back to John chapter 10.
Look, we need to make sure that we're not faithless, but believing the word of God.
We want to make sure that we don't be like doubtful Thomas, but we're determined that
this is the word of God.
We don't want to stagger at the promises of God, but we want to be steadfast on the word
of God.
Hey, this is the word of God.
This is Jesus Christ.
We don't want another Jesus.
I mean, what else do you need at this point?
I mean, do you want to be one of those people in the Old Testament that just couldn't believe
that Jesus was really Jesus?
Do you want to be one of the people that Jesus Christ is rebuking and saying, "Oh, fools
and swill of heart to believe all that the prophets have said"?
Do you want to be the people that Jesus Christ is coming and upbraiding them for their unbelief?
Or do you want to be the one that just says, "Hey, I already believe it because of the
witness, because of the works, and because of the words"?
And let me tell you another point.
How about the wounds of Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ was wounded for us.
He was wounded for our transgressions.
I'm sorry if I made it unclear.
I wanted John 19 verse 17, okay?
I don't know if I said John 10.
I don't know if I confused you there.
I want John 19 verse 17.
The Bible says about Jesus Christ, he said, "And he, bearing his cross, went forth and
to a place called the place of a skull," which is called the Hebrew of Gotha.
Jesus was crucified.
He was wounded for our transgressions.
He had to go through all this pain and suffering in order to die for the sins of the world.
And in the same way, let me tell you something.
This is a book of wounds.
William Tyndale was killed at the stake.
His throat was slit, and he was burned for having given us this book.
William Tyndale, I mean, 85% of the Tyndale Bible is like verbatim, the King James Bible.
And the places where it's not verbatim, it's saying the exact same thing.
William Tyndale gave us this Bible, and in his dying breath, he said, "Lord, open the
eyes of the King."
And let me tell you who that was.
It was King James whose eyes were opened and gave us this King James Bible.
And it's not just him.
It was kings before him as well.
I understand that historical fact, but let me tell you something.
It was the eyes of the King of England that gave us this book.
The English Bible that we have in our hands today, it's a martyr Bible.
Who are the martyrs of the modern versions today?
This is a martyr Bible, theirs is a money Bible.
Why is it that we have an explosion in the 60s, 70s, 80s of ESV, NASB, New King James, NIV, all these different things?
Why do they keep making so many?
Money, money, money, money.
This book came out of martyrdom, their books come out of money.
We don't want that.
Go to John 20, go to John chapter 20, verse 27.
The Bible says, "Then saith he to Thomas, 'Reach hither thy finger, behold my hands, and reach
hither thy hand, and thrust it in my side, and be not faithless, but believing.'
And Thomas answered and said, 'And my Lord, and my God,' Jesus saith unto him, 'Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet believed.'"
Hey, I wasn't there when the originals were given. I wasn't there when the original was copied.
I wasn't there when that copy was copied to that copy to that copy. I wasn't there when Erasmus
was collecting the handful of Greek manuscripts to write his Greek New Testament. I wasn't there when
Tyndale was running on the on the just fleeing and on the run translating it into English. I wasn't
there when they made the bishop's Bible. I wasn't there when they made the King James Bible. I wasn't
there when they constantly printed it for the last 400 years. But you know what? Blessed are they that
haven't seen and yet believe. You don't have to see things in order to believe them. You don't
have to know all the historical facts to believe them. You can believe them by faith and faith
coming by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I believe the King James Bible because of the King
James Bible. That's why I believe it. Just like I would have believed Jesus because of what Jesus
said. I would have believed Jesus because of what Jesus, the works that he did, what he did. I would
have believed Jesus because of the words that came out of his mouth. Never a man spake like this man
spake. No book speaks like this book. And I would have believed Jesus because of the wounds. He was
willing to die for my sins and be crucified and go to hell and rise again for me. Whereas these
modern versions, they just want money. They're not willing to die. Judas just wanted money.
And you know what? There's a lot of Judas versions of the Bible. When you get the Jesus version of
the Bible. John 21, look at verse 5. The Bible says, "Then Jesus said unto them, 'Children,
have ye any meat?' They answered him, 'No.' And he said unto them, 'Cast the net on the right side
of the ship, and ye shall find.' They cast therefor, and now they were not able to draw it for the
multitude of fishes.'" Hey, when you listen to Jesus, you know what happened? A great harvest.
And when you listen to this book, let me tell you something. A great harvest will come.
When you're not using this, you're going to fish all night and you're going to catch nothing. And
when you use this book, you're going to constantly catch things. And you know what? Just like the
King James Bible won't go away. Let me tell you something, the new IB isn't going away either.
It can be attacked, mocked, and criticized, and it's not going anywhere. And you know what? The new
King James is fake, and it's going away. And these fake people that hate us and hate our movement and
get disgruntled, they're going away. They're going to be destroyed. They're going to be the ones that
are shown to be fake. And you know what? The King James Bible is the word of God because of its
witness, because of its works, because of its words, because of its wounds. Let us not exercise the
vain work of looking for the Bible. Let us be focused on the first works of going out and using
the Bible. Let us not use the perverted words of this NIV. Let us use the pure words of the Bible.
Let us not be using the missing word, but let us use the faithful word as we've been taught. Let
us never be ever changing like the modern versions, but let us be steadfast on the King James Bible,
unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Let us not use the shifting sands of the
modern versions, but let us stand on the sure foundation of the King James Bible.
I pray that you would help every man, woman, and child be able to understand why the King
James Bible is the Word of God. They could understand that they have Jesus in their hand.
I think when they understand the inestimable treasure, the most valuable and precious thing
in this world, they would have more faith to read it, use it, get people saved. I pray that we
wouldn't just know that the Word of God is the Word of God, but we would use the Word of God.
That we would go out and we would show a dark world, the only light, the King James Bible.
I pray that you would help change hearts and minds. Please bless the rest of this conference
and please help us to be faithful and not unbelieving. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
