I believe that TV preachers are what greatly affected Bible doctrine, especially Bible
prophecy.
Most Baptists aren't going to admit that they got their doctrine from John Hagee or somebody
like that, but they did, okay?
And the things they're teaching line up with what they teach.
And one thing that's interesting that I've noticed, I've learned from guys, from Pastor
Anderson, some of the messages, he's preached, but you'll see that a lot of what's being
taught in churches today is doctrine based on other versions of the Bible.
Now, most Baptists, they use the King James Bible when they're preaching these things,
but the way they are interpreting what the Bible says actually lines up with other versions.
And so we're going to talk about some of these things, and Pastor Anderson's going to ask
him to give some examples of these things, because he's somebody who knows a lot about
this subject, and so I want to kind of pick his brain on these things.
So first of all, you preached a message a few months ago on Antichrist Bible versions,
and that's just the title, it's a pretty harsh accusation, Antichrist Bible Versions, that's
a pretty big thing, but a lot of people will say that these other versions, they're just
out there trying to make the Bible easier to understand for people.
They're not Antichrist, they're just trying to make the Bible easier to understand, but
do you feel like that accusation is justified in calling it an Antichrist Bible version,
and give us some examples of that.
Well, when you look at the issue of the King James Bible versus all the other versions,
all of the changes that are made that are big changes, entire verses being removed or
major doctrinal changes, none of them are by accident, it's always by design.
And so you'll notice that there are patterns of certain doctrines that are being attacked
over and over again, like the blood is being removed from multiple verses, or the term
repent is being strategically removed from multiple verses, or hell is another big one
that's just systematically removed in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
So there's clearly an agenda behind it.
When you look at the 16 verses that are missing, they're not just random verses, they're key
verses, they're important verses, and you can easily see what someone was trying to
accomplish when they removed that verse.
Well, when it comes to Bible prophecy, if you look at the changes that are made, there's
clearly an agenda there, when you look at what the changes are, and the changes point
to the devil wanting people to believe in immanency, the devil wanting people to believe
in a pre-trib rapture, that's what it all points to.
And I mean, I could demonstrate that to you right now.
For example, if the Antichrist is going to come before Jesus Christ, of course the devil
wants to get everybody thinking that Jesus is going to come at any moment.
And then the guy who's actually coming at any moment is who?
The Antichrist.
So I mean, let's turn to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.
Yeah, do one on the one on immanency that people use.
Let's go to 2 Thessalonians 2, because that's the biggest passage that just destroys immanency.
I think probably the two most powerful scriptures that demolish the pre-trib rapture are Matthew
24 on one side, and 2 Thessalonians 2 on the other side, right?
So both of them are tampered with in the modern versions, isn't that an interesting coincidence?
So if you look at 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, of course it says, Now we beseech you brethren,
by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that you
be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter
as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling
away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition.
So he's making it crystal clear there that this can't happen at any moment.
Don't let anybody tell you that the day of Christ is at hand.
First the man of sin has to be revealed.
First there has to be a falling away, and so forth.
Well listen to the NIV, what it does, and all the other versions will do the same thing,
whether you're in the ESV or whatever the version of the month is.
It says this in the NIV, Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered
to him, we ask you brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the
teaching allegedly from us, whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter,
asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.
So according to the King James, the deception is that it's at hand, that it's about to happen.
And he says, hey, don't let anybody deceive you by any means.
It's not going to come until X, Y, and Z comes first.
But then in the NIV, it just says, well, don't let anybody tell you that it's already come,
that it already happened.
It just completely changes the meaning, and it takes away the strongest verse that just
demolishes imminency right there.
So it's pretty obvious what they're trying to accomplish there, right?
Right.
Yeah.
And so what I find interesting about that is the preaching that I'm hearing from most
Baptists today when it comes to pre-trib, what they're teaching actually lines up with
what the NIV says, not what the King James says, because that is very clear.
But they do it with the King James Bible.
So it kind of goes over our head.
And here's another telltale.
When they start talking about the bowls of God's wrath, the judgment bowls, they didn't
get that from a King James, because the King James talks about the vials of God's wrath.
And so when they're talking about the bowls, you can see where they're getting there, or
when they say, I'm with you always, even at the end of the age, instead of saying the
end of the world.
So you can tell what somebody has been reading, because out of the abundance of the heart,
the mouth speaketh.
And people that are reading the King James and listening to King James preachers, they're
going to be talking end of the world, vials, tribulation, affliction.
They're not going to use this terminology of these modern fake versions.
Right.
And I agree.
And I don't even think personally, from what I've seen, I don't think it's that they're
reading these other versions.
I think it's just they're listening to the TV preachers.
Right.
They're getting secondhand now.
And they're using their scriptures, but they're using the King James, but not even realizing
that the King James is not saying the same thing.
And so, do you have any examples kind of showing how some of the strategic changes will help
people accept the Antichrist better?
Well, yes.
And first of all, the reason I even called the sermon Antichrist Bible Versions is that
the modern Bible versions even change the very definition of what Antichrist means.
Okay.
So if you actually look up the mentions of the word Antichrist itself, I think it's mentioned
four times.
And it's in the books of 1 and 2 John.
You know, in the King James, it says, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they're of God.
This is 1 John chapter 4.
Because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the spirit of God.
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of
God.
This is that spirit of Antichrist, where you have heard that it should come and even now
already is it in the world.
Okay.
Listen to this in the NIV.
This is how you can recognize the spirit of God.
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.
But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.
So it basically says every spirit that doesn't acknowledge Jesus is not of God.
Whereas in the King James it said every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is not of God.
So basically the King James is emphasizing that you've got to believe that Jesus Christ
came in the flesh versus just not just acknowledging Jesus.
See, acknowledging Jesus, right, that could be when the fake Messiah shows up.
He's going to come in the name of Jesus and they acknowledge him.
Well, now they're good to go.
But we believe that he already came.
The Messiah already came.
His name was Jesus Christ.
He already came in the flesh, right?
Whereas the Jews who are described as Antichrist because they don't acknowledge the Father
and the Son, you know, they're still looking for their Messiah to come.
So, you know, there are verses like that that tamper with what it means to be an Antichrist.
And one of the most interesting changes, though, that I found is in Matthew 24.
Because Matthew 24 is, like I said, the other big scripture besides 2 Thessalonians 2 that
really just demolishes the pre-Trib rapture.
That's the one that personally did it for me.
You know, I was 12 years old.
I'm reading my Bible.
I read Matthew 24 and it just jumped off the page at me.
And I know millions of people all over the world have the exact same experience when
they first read Matthew 24.
And it just, right there it is, the rapture after the tribulation, right?
Okay.
Well, let's say that I would have been 12 years old reading the NIV, okay?
Here's what I would have read in the NIV in Matthew 24, 29.
Immediately after the distress of those days.
Now I'm not going to read that and say, oh, wow, it's after the tribulation.
So they take the word tribulation and they change it to something else to hide this verse,
right?
Because they don't want to face the truth in Matthew 24.
So instead of saying after the tribulation is after the distress.
And that wouldn't have been as good of a movie title either, After the Distress.
You know what I mean?
That's not as good of a title.
And then also even in, even in Mark 13, they do the same thing.
But in those days following the distress, and it's not that the NIV doesn't know the
word tribulation because other places in the NIV will use tribulation.
Like for example, in Revelation 7, 14, it says, these are they who've come out of the
great tribulation.
So it calls a period, the great tribulation, and it talks about tribulation.
But when it comes to the rapture being after the tribulation, suddenly it's the distress.
Even though it's the same Greek word, Flipsis, they're translating in one place as distress,
just to provide a smokescreen.
And then everywhere else is tribulation.
Right.
So once again, perfectly lining up with what's being preached in pre-trib, what's in the
NIV.
Right.
So, and another thing that I thought was really interesting, you mentioned in that message,
you know, you talked about how modern versions promote modalism, right?
And you also refer to modalism, I think in another message as an end times heresy.
And so explain how an attack on the Trinity, you know, in the Bible and you know, how other
versions have done that and how that affects end times doctrine.
In the end times, we know that all religions are going to have to come together in order
to all worship the beast.
So that means Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, apostate Christians, they're all going to
have to come together into one religion.
And that's why we're hearing so much today about how we're all worshiping the same God.
It doesn't matter what religion we are, whether we're Jews or Muslims or Christians, we're
all worshiping the same God.
Well, in order for us all to be worshiping the same God, it can't be a Trinitarian God,
because Islam rejects the Trinity.
The Jews obviously reject the Trinity.
And if you just Google search the word oneness, which is, you know, modalism is also known
as a oneness doctrine.
If you just Google oneness, all the results are about Hinduism.
Hinduism is all about oneness.
They're all about modalism.
So Islam believes in a oneness kind of a God, the Jews believe in a oneness God, the Hindus
believe in a oneness God, you know, the Buddhists want to be one with the whole stinking universe.
So the point is that Christianity is unique, that the God that we worship is not a oneness
God, but he's a Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Okay.
So of course, the modern versions, if they're truly a New World Order Bible version or an
Antichrist Bible version, they're going to prepare the way for Christianity to embrace
a oneness God and not the traditional Trinitarian view of God.
So that's why the key Trinity verse, 1 John 5.7 is gone from the modern versions, right?
It's completely removed.
But not only that, the thing that's really interesting is how the NIV changes Revelation
chapter 14, where the mark that goes in the forehead of the 144,000, the King James tells
us that the name that goes in the forehead is the name of the Father.
Okay.
Whereas in the NIV, it says, well, they have the Father's name and Jesus name in their
forehead.
Well, the implication there would be that they're both the same name shared by the Father
and the Son is what modalism would teach.
Or even if it's teaching that there are two names in the forehead, we know that it's the
Antichrist who puts his name in the forehead of the followers, because it says that they
receive the number or the mark of his name, his name in their foreheads, whereas the mark
of God is the name of the Father.
It's not the name of the Son.
It's not the name of the Messiah.
It's not the name of Jesus.
So things like that, they cannot be coincidental.
It's so unnatural.
Let me turn to my notes here.
And in Revelation 14, the way it says it in the NIV is so unnatural when it says, then
I looked and there before me was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion and with him 144,000
who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
That's been added.
That's not in the King James.
That's not in any old traditional Bible.
It's only in these modern corruptions.
And I've also just noticed how this doctrine has made a major resurgence in modern times.
I mean, until 1913, 1914, the Trinity was a case closed amongst Christians.
The only people who denied the Trinity were Unitarians who said that, you know, Jesus
isn't God, he's just a man.
Well then all of a sudden you have the Oneness Pentecostal movement come out in the early
20th century, just in time for the end times, Jesus only movement, modalism, oneness.
And then now it's ramping up to where you're seeing Baptists are getting mixed up in this,
which has never happened.
Since 1914, Baptists have never been influenced by oneness doctrine, but literally just in
the past few years, now people are sending me sermons from Baptist churches where pastors
are getting up and denying the Trinity now and teaching this stuff.
You know, there's some kind of an evil spirit at work to get people to get off the Trinity
so that they can get a view of God that's more like other religions and so that Antichrist
can show up as the fourth mode, because every modalist will tell you that there's not just
three modes.
Those are just the three main modes.
He can come in a fourth mode, right?
It's crazy.
Like I said, you know, it's the falling away, right?
Exactly.
It's the falling away.
And so basically, you know, I think we have here is a case of, to me, it proves, because
amongst King James Bible believing Baptists, I don't think they read NIVs, you know, when
I listen to that message, I was blown away through the whole thing because I'm like,
that lines up with pre-trib doctrine.
But these guys aren't reading pre-trib or they're not reading other versions of the
Bible.
They're King James Bible believers, but it proves to me they're listening to people who
aren't.
And one thing I think we're clearly up against that, I don't know if maybe you have some
words of advice how we get it out of us.
One thing that we, I think we all struggle with while even though we know the King James
Bible is the word of God, you know, even though we understand certain things are true, some
things have been said so many times, you know, we're kind of brainwashed.
We have some holdovers, you know, we were discussing something last night and I wasn't
sure about, and I was asking his opinion on it and it was something where I wasn't sure
if I had this right.
I was not comfortable with my position on it and he kept telling me, you're thinking
like a pre-tribber and I was like, yeah, hey, I thought that way for 30 years.
It's hard to get it all out of you.
Sometimes you have that dispensational stuff, but I mean, you know, what's your advice for
these people?
You know, how do we know when we're interpreting our Bible, you know, are we going off what
it actually says or am I attaching false definitions?
Well, you know, you just have to keep reading the Bible, listen to good preaching, stay
away from the TV preachers, honestly, it's just going to take time because even if you
have had the right doctrine for 10 years, you're still, everything that goes into our
mind is, it's still going to be there.
So we just have to constantly read our Bibles and make sure that we're not stuck on some
preconceived idea.
And, you know, what I noticed is that I'll get to certain passages of scripture and it's
like you said, you know, I was never quite comfortable with Matthew 24.
You know, we all have chapters where sometimes we feel like, oh, I don't, I don't think my
explanation of this is very good.
Usually later on down the road, you realize it's because you had something wrong and then
all of a sudden, once you get it right, you love that chapter and then that chapter makes
perfect sense.
But, you know, another thing you, you were debunking the pre-trib arguments earlier and
Matthew 24 being written to the Jews is a big thing, right?
Okay.
That was my point I skipped.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's cover it.
So, you know, hey, Matthew 24 is only for the Jews.
It's written for the Jews.
I mean, we've all heard it a lot.
Well, what's interesting is Joseph Smith, okay, the founder of the Latter-day Saints,
the Mormon church, he put out his own translation.
He never finished it all the way and the Mormons don't use it.
They use the King James, but they took the parts that he did called the Joseph Smith
translation and they put it in a book called The Pearl of Great Price.
Well, you can look up Matthew 24 in the Joseph Smith translation.
Here are some excerpts from it, okay, from the Joseph Smith translation.
For then in those days shall be great tribulation on the Jews.
Okay.
So, in the King James, it just says, then shall be great tribulation.
He adds that in his version of Matthew 24.
Then shall be great tribulation on the Jews.
Okay.
A little later in the chapter, the King James says, behold, I've told you before.
It's a short verse.
The Joseph Smith translation says, behold, these things I've spoken unto you concerning
the Jews.
Okay.
Then a little later on, it says, and again, after the tribulation of those days, he adds,
which shall come upon Jerusalem.
So isn't it interesting that before any of these guys were saying that, because remember
the pre-trib rapture, there's no evidence of it being taught in modern times until after
1830.
Really, 1839 is the first time it's really on the record from a preacher like Darby preaching
it.
1830 was just that crazy teenage girl having the visions.
But isn't it interesting, the Book of Mormon came out in 1830.
And Joseph Smith, at the exact same time that this pre-trib doctrine, this dispensational
doctrines coming out in the 1830s, at the exact same time, some demon is leading him
to add to scripture, it's for the Jews.
It's all for the Jews.
It's only for the Jews.
So it should be a little scary for the pre-tribbers when they realize that Joseph Smith and everybody
else who wants to tamper and pervert God's word.
And by the way, Darby was a major Bible perverter.
He came out with his Darby translation before perverting the Bible was even cool.
I mean, he was one of the first ones to come out with that, right?
That's right.
So, you know, Bible corruptors like Joseph Smith, Darby, and all the corruptors that
would come after, what do they attack?
They're attacking the blood, they're attacking the Trinity, and what else are they attacking?
They're attacking the doctrine that the rapture comes after the tribulation, and they're inserting
this idea of imminency, and they're tampering with Matthew 24, trying to get us to think,
oh, that's for the Jews.
That's a little bit scary when you're lining up with these perverters and corruptors of
God's word.
Because those are devils that led them to make those changes, and those devils have
an agenda.
They have a plan.
You know, the mystery of iniquity is at work.
Amen.
Well, thank you for that.
I tell you, there's great stuff.
I encourage you to go back and listen to that message, Antichrist Bible versions, a
great message.
We've got to get the word out on these things.
The teaching that is out there is teaching that lines up with false Bibles.
It's coming from TV preachers.
Your preacher doesn't read, he doesn't read the NIV, but he's listening to these TV guys,
and he's getting his teaching from them, and it's what's causing this mass confusion.
And so I hope this was helpful to you.
Thank you, Pastor Aniston, for those questions.
Very good stuff.
So, with Paul.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
