Let's examine some of these versions here quickly, and I don't want to spend all night
on this point, but I just want to show you how ridiculous these versions are.
Okay, here are the top versions today.
Okay, I've got the top versions, and then there's one more.
The ESV, we're not going to take the time to look at.
I have a whole sermon called The ESV Exposed, so just go to that.
But I looked up online, what are the top five versions in the United States?
Of course, the King James is in the top five.
Of course, the King James is timeless.
The King James is always in the top five, whereas these other ones go in and out of
the top five all the time.
But the top five versions, number one version they listed was the NIV.
That was number one, okay?
So let me give you the NIV, brother Matt, all right?
All right, I know you don't, but do it and help me out here.
So the number one version is the NIV.
The number two best-selling version in 2013 is the King James Bible, the real Bible.
Okay, then number three, four, and five were the ESV, the new King James.
This is where they dug up King James and exhumed him and he signed it with his dead hand, okay?
So I'm going to give that to you, brother Segura, is that all right?
And then number five most popular was the New Living Translation, okay?
There you go, brother Garrett.
That's number five.
So those are the top Bibles, right?
They're all pretty much the same, right?
Couple of minor details.
What's the big deal, right?
Okay, I want you gentlemen to all look up Galatians 3.16 in these new versions, okay?
And let's see if they paid as much attention to detail as God paid in this exact passage
about the seed versus the seeds.
Now while they're turning in their false Bibles there, let's go back to the Old Testament
to where this quote came from and let's see if it really says what Paul said it said,
okay?
Let's go back to Genesis 22.
Keep your finger in Galatians 3.
Let's go back to Genesis 22 and see if the Apostle Paul, see if the Holy Spirit of God
moving through the Apostle Paul gave us an accurate assessment of what was said in the
Old Testament.
Galatians 22, 17 says this, that in blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will
multiply thy, what?
Seed.
Singular, right?
And he said, as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is upon the seashore and thy
seed shall possess the gate of his enemies and in thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed because thou so bade my voice.
Everybody got a seed singular there?
Oh yeah.
Now go to Genesis 26.
Let's look at another place where this is mentioned.
Same exact thing.
Genesis 26 verse 3, sojourn in this land and I will be with thee and will bless thee for
unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries and I will perform the oath
which I swear unto Abraham thy father and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars
of heaven and will give unto thy seed all these countries and in thy seed shall all
nations of the earth be blessed.
And that's exactly what it said in Galatians 3, go to verse 8 of Galatians 3 if you're
still there, it says in the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through
faith preached before the gospel unto Abraham saying in thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faith of Abraham.
Look, the Bible says that back in Genesis 22 and Genesis 26 when God made that promise
to Abraham saying in thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed, he did that because
he foresaw that God would justify the heathen through faith and that if we're in Christ
we are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the prophets because the seed of Abraham
is Jesus and God said that all nations would be blessed in his seed because guess what?
There are people of every nation that have believed on Christ.
Every single nation in this world, there are people who have believed on Jesus Christ.
You name the nation, you name the kindred, you name the tongue, you name the family on
this earth, the Bible says that in heaven, in Revelation that there will be people in
heaven of all kindreds, of all nations, of all tongues.
Look, every nation has been blessed by Jesus Christ because there are people within that
nation who have believed on Christ and those that are of faith are blessed with faithful
Abraham.
It's so consistent what the Bible teaches and God is saying look, in Genesis 22 and
in Genesis 26 when he's saying look, I'm going to give this land under your seed, I'm going
to bless your seed, I'm going to bless all nations through your seed, he said that was
about the gospel, that was about Jesus Christ, that was about a man that was the singular
seed of Abraham in whom all nations of the earth would be blessed.
It's important.
It's this key biblical New Testament doctrine where the New Testament is shedding light
on what the Old Testament is saying.
Let's go to these new versions and see what they've done to just completely butcher and
destroy clear biblical doctrine, that we have consistency between the Old and New Testament.
Okay, Brother Garrett, give us Galatians 3.16 in the New Living Translation.
I want everybody to pay attention and I want you to look down at your King James Bible.
Look down at your Bible as Brother Garrett reads from the corrupted New Living Translation.
Nice and loud, Brother Garrett.
God gave the promises to Abraham and his child and knows that the scripture does not say
to his children as if many descendants rather says to his child and that of course means
Christ.
Go back to Genesis 22 now, Brother Garrett.
Everybody back in Genesis 22?
Go back in Genesis 22 and let me just summarize in case you had trouble hearing Brother Garrett.
Brother Garrett just read for us from the New Living Translation, he said that the passage
said that the promise was made to Abraham and to his child, not children as if he had
meant many descendants but to his child.
That's what the New Living said, right?
Everybody hear that?
Are you looking down at Genesis 22 17?
Read for us, Brother Garrett, 17 and 18 from the New Living Translation, nice and loud.
I will certainly bless you, I will multiply your descendants beyond number like the stars
in the sky and the sand on the seashore.
Your descendants will conquer the cities of their enemies and through your descendants
all the nations of the earth will be blessed all because you have obeyed me.
So notice, the New Living Translation in Genesis 22, it doesn't say in thy seed, singular,
it says in your descendants, plural, three times it said and your descendants will inherit
the land and in your descendants all nations will be blessed.
Then in the New Testament of the exact same book he says, well he said child.
Did it even say child in their own book?
I mean the book contradicts itself.
I mean the Old Testament says descendants, descendants, descendants, plural.
Then in the New Testament you look at Galatians 3 16 in the New Living Translation, he says
well you know he said child because if he would have said children it would have meant
descendants.
I mean read that again Garrett, read from Galatians 3 16 again in the New Living.
So the New Living says descendants, descendants, descendants.
Then if you go to chapter 26 it says descendants, descendants, descendants.
So six times it says descendants.
Then when you get into the New Testament and Galatians, listen to what it says, Galatians
3 16.
God gave the promises to Abraham and his child and notice that the scripture does not say
to his children as if it meant many descendants rather than...
Yeah, there's no way he said descendants, right?
Of course he said child because he didn't mean descendants.
I mean look, how can you take that seriously?
How can you pick up that book and read it every day and say I read my Bible?
That is the number five most popular version of the Bible in America today.
That is what hundreds of thousands, yay, millions of people are picking up that book every day
and think that they're reading the Bible.
And that book is a mockery of itself.
This is just one passage, okay?
Now let's see what the New King James has done because the New King James is pretty
much the same thing, right?
I mean it just gets rid of the these and the else, right?
Okay.
Well let's see what the New King James has done.
Who's got the New King James?
Brother Segura?
All right.
Read for us Galatians 3 16 in the New King James.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He does not say into seeds as of many but as of one.
And to your seed who is Christ.
Okay so that was pretty much the same as the King James, right?
Seed versus seeds, okay.
But now let's go back to Genesis 22 in the New King James.
See if it says seed.
Yeah, 22 17.
You're looking at your Bible.
Look at Genesis 22 17 in the King James.
Chris Segura is going to read from the New King James.
Blessings I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your descendants.
Your what?
Multiply your descendants, okay?
As the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore and your descendants
shall possess the gate of their enemies.
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
Okay so there we go.
So you see the deception of the New King James.
What the New King James has done is in verse 17 they changed seed to descendants, plural,
right?
Twice.
Then in verse 18 because verse 18 is directly quoted in Galatians 3 you'd have to be an
idiot to put an S on the end of it when God flat out said there's no S on the end of it.
So then there they just decide to magically put the singular seed again.
So they go descendants, descendants, seed.
Here's what's funny.
You go back to the Hebrew it's the same word all three times.
Seed, seed, seed.
Did you hear that?
You go back to the Hebrew it says seed, seed, seed.
What does the King James say?
Seed, seed, seed.
What does the New King James say?
Descendants, plural, descendants, plural, seed only because we have to.
You know what I mean?
Because otherwise we're going to look like a fool.
Okay, you say what's the point?
There's an agenda.
Why change seed to descendants?
You know it's supposed to be translated seed.
That's what the Apostle Paul told you.
Why are you changing it to descendants?
Why?
It's not to tell people that they have to support those physical descendants and that
land.
So you know they're going to mess with chapter 22 verse 17 because oh well if it's talking
about the land we better change that to descendants.
Because you know what the people who are financing that version, the people who finance the New
King James, the people who finance the NIV, the people who finance the New Living Translation
have an agenda that's a Zionist agenda.
It's a pro-nation state of Israel agenda, that they'll just change the Bible to fit
that agenda.
You're their dupe if you're reading the New King James.
If you're reading the King James, you get the truth.
Okay, let's look at what the NIV has done.
Do you have the NIV, Brother Matt?
Okay let's hear Galatians 3, 16 from the NIV.
It's hard to even find in these modern verses.
The way they number the verses makes it hard to find.
You got it?
Yeah.
Okay, so same thing as the King James virtually, right?
Go back to Genesis 22 now.
Let's see if the NIV is consistent with itself, okay?
So the NIV said that if we go back to Genesis 22 we're going to find a singular seed, right?
Okay go ahead and give it to me from verse 17.
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous.
Your what?
Descendants plural again.
Even though the original Hebrew says the word seed.
Even though the King James said it was seed.
Even though the New Testament said it was seed, right?
Keep going, sorry.
As the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore, your descendants will take possession
of the cities of their enemies.
Keep going.
Verse 18.
Oh, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed because you have
obeyed me.
So look, basically what the NIV does is it goes descendants, descendants, offspring.
Now look, offspring is neither singular nor plural.
I mean who ever heard of offsprings?
Okay, offspring is neither singular nor plural.
So what we have there is that basically we have them saying descendants, descendants,
offspring.
Obviously when you get to offspring you think we're talking about the descendants that we
just mentioned twice.
All of that should say seed and if you look at the footnotes in the NIV and the footnotes
in the New King James and the footnotes in the ESV and the footnotes in the New American
Standard, they all say at the bottom of the page, oh by the way, the Hebrew says seed.
Then what are you doing changing it?
I mean look, if you go to Job chapter 1 and Job chapter 2 when it says that there came
a day when the sons of God presented themselves before the Lord, you know, if you go to the
NIV it says the angels presented themselves.
Then you go to the bottom of the page in the footnote and it says, oh by the way, in Hebrew
this is sons of God.
So why are you writing in English angels if the Hebrew says sons of God?
I mean I thought of translation, you just translated.
And I understand that when you translate things they come out basically in different wording,
you know, like as far as not the same word order.
Like those that speak Spanish and English in our church or those that speak two languages,
you know that you can say the exact same thing in two different languages.
You don't always lose something in the translation.
That's bogus.
You can say the exact same thing in Spanish as in English, but sometimes you do words
in a little different order and everything, right?
But you know what?
You don't just go from sons of God to angels.
That's just two different words.
That's just not even the same word.
That's just not even the same thing.
But the NIV is just taking liberties, just changing details, details on every page, every
chapter is tampered with in that NIV.
There is not one chapter in that NIV that is not tampered with, every chapter is tampered
with.
And look, you say why are we King James only?
Because we need to pay attention to these details.
And if we're reading a Bible by translators that can't even figure out, Galatians 3 should
match what it's quoting.
And there is not a Hebrew manuscript on this planet that has that in plural, or that says
anything other than seed.
You know what?
No, I'm sorry, they're not dumb.
They're deceptive, they're doing it on purpose.
I mean do you think that these people just sat around, I mean do you think that the translators
of these Bibles are sitting around with like a beanie with a propeller on top going, they're
all just imbeciles?
No, no, no, these are smart men who hate the Word of God and perverted it on purpose.
And you know why?
Because somebody put a bunch of money in their hand and said, promote Israel.
Promote the nation of Israel.
Promote 1948, creation of United Nations.
Promote Zionism.
Promote dispensationalism.
Promote false doctrine.
Demote Jesus.
Demote him from being the Lord Jesus to just Jesus.
You know, make hell a little colder by calling it Hades or Sheol.
Cool it down a little bit, turn that thing down.
And I've got to get off that point because of time, but number one, let's have attention
to detail when it comes to God's Word.
That means we need to just read our Bible carefully, not just blow through it in the
morning.
Just blow through it, blow past, no, stop and slow down and read your Bible and pay
attention.
And have a Bible that's worth paying attention to, translated by people who are paying attention.
The King James Version.
