Here's my last point. The King James Bible superior, listen to this, because it
consistently defines salvation. Now this is important because you can pull on
some verses from the NIV, the ESV, and even the New King James that describe
salvation the right way. They'll say believe on Jesus Christ, you know, they'll
they'll use all the good terminology. That's not the bad part. The bad part is
it doesn't consistently do that throughout the Bible, which is a major
problem. This is why people when you knock on their doors that use these
Bibles, they always mix up salvation with serving God, going to church. Why? Because
the Bible that they're using mixes them. You want a Bible that consistently
defines and talks about salvation the same exact way from Genesis to
Revelation. Why? Because salvation should never change. Certain terminology that
the Bible does not use when it comes to salvation, whereas the new versions, they
do. They change the wording, it's not consistent. Look what the Bible says
in John chapter 3 and verse 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life, he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God
abideth on him. Pretty simple. You believe on Jesus Christ, you have everlasting
life, you don't believe on him, you won't see life. What does the ESV say, Brother
Cody? It says whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, whoever does not obey
the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. That leaves room
for doubt. Whoever does not obey the Son sounds kind of weird. Go to Matthew
chapter 7. Matthew chapter 7. One of the most common ones that most of you know
of is 1st Corinthians 1 verse 18 where it says, For the preaching of the cross
is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power
of God. The new versions say, but unto us which are being saved.
Describing it as a process. Look at Matthew 7 verse 13. It says, Enter ye in at
the straight gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat, because straight is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Brother Chris, go ahead and read Matthew 7 13 and 14. Enter through the
narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road leads to destruction,
and many enter through it, but small is the gate and narrow is the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it. Okay, go ahead brother Cody, read it from
the ESV. Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way is easy that
leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. Okay, stop, stop, read that
again. Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way is easy that
leads to destruction. The way is easy that leads to destruction. According to
the Bible, it's easy to get saved. Here it's saying the way that is easy leads to
destruction. So what it's telling the reader is, hey, if you find a church that
makes salvation easy, that's the way that leads to destruction. Keep reading, brother
Cody. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who
find it are few. The way is hard. Folks, when it says it's narrow, it's referring
to how many people are gonna go to heaven. It has nothing to do with the effort
that you put into going to heaven, because we don't put any effort into going to
heaven. It's not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to his mercy, he saved us.
