And don't ever be shy about being King James only.
Don't ever be like, well, you know, yeah, I mean, we're King James.
You know what the attitude should be? Of course we're King James.
Of course we're King James.
What? Don't you believe that God preserved His word in every generation?
I mean, don't you believe when Jesus said,
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
Of course we don't believe in a Bible that was dug up in an archaeological dig.
1800 years after Jesus.
1900 years after Jesus.
That's not God's word.
You know, a lot of times, Bibles that were inferior,
or had errors in them, like where people made mistakes in them
when they're copying it, and they would mess it up,
they'd get thrown in the trash, or sometimes they didn't want to throw it in the trash,
they'd put it in a pot and bury it.
And then these idiots dig it up thousands of years later,
like, we found the real Bible.
Folks, that's a Bible that somebody threw away because it was junk.
It'd be like, what would you do if you found the New World Translation?
Throw it in the trash.
Right? What are you going to do when you find the Book of Mormon?
Throw it in the trash, burn it, whatever.
But see, unfortunately they didn't burn it all the time.
Some of the Jews are too superstitious, and they're like,
well, we don't want to burn it because part of it's God's word,
so let's just put it in a jar and bury it.
And then some bozo digs it up thousands of years later,
like, oh, this is closer to the original.
Folks, we've had the Bible the whole time.
Was there some time when the Bible just, like, stopped existing on this planet?
There's an unbroken chain of people preaching the Bible.
It's not like, well, Christianity died for a couple hundred years,
and then it made a big comeback.
Christianity has always been around.
People have always been preaching the Bible.
The Word of God's been, well, you know, the Roman Catholic Church got corrupt.
Do you really think that Europe is just, like, the whole world?
Did you know that there are other continents besides Europe?
There's Africa, Asia.
The Word of God, even during the Dark Ages, was thriving other places.
The Word of God's always been around.
It's always been preached.
You could always find it somewhere.
So what we have is an unbroken chain of God's word and saved Christians
from the time of Christ until now.
You said, demonstrate that with a history book.
I don't need to because God said it was going to happen, and so it happened.
He said it's preserved.
It's preserved.
He said, I'll build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
That's what happened.
I don't have to show you a history book.
Okay, what if there's a history book written about Atlanta?
You think it's going to cover Stronghold Baptist Church?
What if a book was printed in 2035,
and they printed a book called The Spiritual History of Atlanta from 1935 to 2035?
You think that Stronghold Baptist is going to be mentioned?
Okay, what if they wrote The Spiritual History of Arizona?
Churches in Arizona in the 20th century, 21st century.
Do you really think that in the section from 2005 to 2020,
do you really think that there would even be any mention
of Faithful Word Baptist Church at all in that history book?
And if they did, they would just say, oh, it's this horrible hate group.
You think they'd say, hey, this was a church that believed in salvation by faith?
No, they would just be like, oh, man, crazy hate group.
They were violent racists.
That's what they would say.
Am I right?
So why do you expect a history book to just mention
every real born-again genuine Christian from Christ until now?
You know who the big names are always going to be in the history book?
Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen.
Look, if they were writing a history book about religion in America,
it'd be Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, right?
So why do you think it was different back then?
There's nothing new under the sun.
There's always going to be the big popular preachers
that have a lot of false doctrine,
and then there are going to be the real preachers
that are going around and knocking the doors.
And look, how many people has this church won to Christ?
On the chalkboard out there for the year of 2009,
it was like 800 souls saved or something.
That's huge.
That's 800?
That's massive.
That's huge.
Never will go in any history book.
You think the media is reporting on that?
Revival in Atlanta, 800 saved.
Do you think that's going to be the headline?
No.
So why do you think that that would have been the headline back then?
You see what I'm saying?
It's dumb to think, oh, well, the popular preachers now are bad,
but the popular preachers back then were all good.
Isn't that kind of stupid?
Or has it been that the popular preachers always tend to be bad?
And the guys who are doing the real work,
maybe their church only runs a few hundred people.
Maybe their church is running 75 people,
but they win souls like they're thousands.
And maybe it's always been like that.
Maybe there have always been people like me
and always been people like Pastor Burzins
and always been people like Joel Osteen.
And here we are in 2019.
Folks, you need to just have faith in what the Bible says,
that God preserved it.
And if you actually believe that God preserved
an every jot, tittle, and word Bible,
you're going to have to go to the King James for that.
No one even makes that claim about the modern versions.
They keep changing.
There have been more editions of the ESV
than Spider-Man movies since the ESV came out,
and that's a lot.
I don't know how many.
You know what I mean?
It's like, you know, or Rambo movies.
I literally drove by a movie theater
and it said Rambo's playing.
What in the world?
Is there really another Rambo movie?
Huh?
I didn't say 90 years old.
He's like 90 years old.
It's only the human growth hormone
and steroids that are keeping him going.
But it's like, you know, it's like Rambo part 17
and ESV part 18.
Right? NIV.
Let's make a new one.
Folks, the King James is the same as it's been since 1611.
Yeah, the spellings have changed.
The capitalization and punctuation have changed,
but the wording is the same.
The wording that we have today in our modern edition,
the 1769 edition, that's what the translators translated.
There have been typos and different things
and capitals and whatever,
but as far as the words that the translators translated,
that's what we have in the 1769 King James
in our lap right now, the one that we all have.
