chapter 12 the part that I wanted to focus on and then we're gonna get into a lot more scripture this morning is in verse number
6 where the Bible reads the words of the Lord are
Pure words now. Not only do I believe that that was true when it was written. That's true today
And then the words of the Lord today are pure
Words and he says as silver tried in a furnace of earth
Purified seven times he's saying that they're as pure as silver that has been purified
Seven times in a row thou shalt keep them. Oh Lord thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever
So who has promised to preserve the word God God said he would preserve his word and today
I want to talk about this subject of God's Word and the King James Bible and
If you would you know, I want you to turn to just a few more scriptures an introduction here turn
If you would to Matthew 24 Matthew chapter 24 because before I can show you why we're King James only and what's wrong with all
These other modern versions and really preach you the doctrine of God's Word
We have to lay a little bit of a foundation here in order for you to understand this
We got to lay a biblical foundation here on the doctrine of God's Word
First of all, we see number one a God's words are pure words
Did he say just the thoughts are pure the ideas pure the the doctrines are pure
The general teaching is pure doing said the words are pure
the emphasis is always placed upon the words look at Matthew 24 and
Look at verse 35 heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
words
Shall not pass away notice the emphasis on the words and God's saying they will not pass away
Long after heaven and earth are gone. His words will still be preserved. Look at chapter 5 of Matthew while you're turning there
I'll read you another scripture Proverbs 30 verse 5 every word of God is pure
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him add thou not unto his words
Lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar. So again, God is saying the words every word all the words
I mean think it's very clear that his word is pure. It's not just a rough idea
Well, this is kind of what he said. No, this is the exact words of God
That's what he's teaching in the Bible and you say well
How do we know we still have it today?
Because he said it would be every generation
Because he said it would not pass away
He said that the word of our Lord endureth forever in another place look at Matthew 5 18 for verily
I say unto you till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle
Shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled
So again and again God's made me clear in Bible turn to Isaiah 59 that his word will be preserved
His words will last forever
The scripture I read you a minute ago add thou not unto his words
Lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar
You know what these little cute billboards I see around town. They make me mad where they have some statement and it says God
Like God said that something about you driving too fast or who knows what I put up your hand
It's like a black sign with the white, you know, it makes me mad because I was driving a little too fast
No, but anyway, you know you see these signs that say oh, you know stop, you know
Don't you if you're gonna cuss and don't use my name God or you know all this stuff
Hey God didn't say that you're a liar and people make so light about just quoting God or saying this is what God said
You know in movies and in books, they'll just have God say things that he never really said
Preachers will get up and have these conversations between God the Father and God the Son and they're just making up some
Conversation for part of their sermon. Hey, don't add to God's work have the reference to understand that God's words are pure
These are God's words. Don't add to his words. Don't say that he said something that he just didn't say
If you're going to quote his word quote it with accuracy have the respect to do so, but look at Isaiah 59
The first thing we saw is that God's words are pure
Number two, we saw God's words are preserved and we're still seeing that in Isaiah 59 21 as for me
This is my covenant with them. What's a covenant like a contract a promise?
My covenant with them saith the Lord my spirit that is upon thee speaking to Isaiah and my words
Which I have put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth
Nor out of the mouth of thy seed nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed
Sayeth the Lord from henceforth and forever
So God's words in the book of Isaiah were promised to exist even to this day and be in our mouths
And to be in your mouth and to be in every mouth of every preacher who preaches the book of Isaiah
Not just the general idea but the words and so God's words have been preserved
But number three look at Acts chapter 2. This is just a foundation for the sermon
We got to see first of all, look God's words are pure
It isn't just men wrote down, you know, oh, let me just give you my rendition of what happened when the Red Sea parted
No, those were God's exact words, right?
Number two, it's been preserved. It's around today number three
God's Word can be translated into any language into any language
Let me prove that you look at Acts 2 verse 4 and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other
Tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance and there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews devout man out of what?
every nation under heaven
Now when this was noised abroad the multitude came together and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own
Language and they were all amazed and marveled saying one another behold are not all these which speak
Galileans and how here we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born and they begins to list the foreign languages
You know these these Pentecostals they think it's just
You know always spoke in tongues
These are legitimate foreign languages that are listed here Parthians and Medes and Elamites and Twas in Mesopotamia and in Judea and in
Cappadocia and in Pontus and Asia Phrygia and Paphilia and Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene and strangers of Rome
Jews and proselytes
Creeds and Arabians we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God and about
3,000 of them got saved and baptized
Let me tell you something faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God
And they didn't hear the Word of God in the original Hebrew
They didn't hear the Word of God in the original Greek they heard the Word of God in their own language
Let me ask you something who did the translating?
Who translated it in this story?
God
They were Galileans. They don't know how to translate into Arabic into
Cyrenian God did the translating because they spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost is what it said in the chapter right there
So is God ask yourself this question is God able to put his word in another language
Or does he only speak one language?
Are we going to need some have a translator we get to have he has a different angel for each nation
That's good act as a translator between us and God because he's he's inept with languages
God can speak any language and then just you know what just common sense should tell you
That if the Old Testament was written in one language and the New Testament was written in another language
Shouldn't common sense tell you right there that God can speak more than one language
And yet people will say well that but that's the only two
You've got to go back to the original Hebrew in the Greek girls
You're going to lose some I guess these people all lost something in the translation
They didn't really quite get it when the Holy Ghost caused them to speak 17 different languages that are listed
Let alone the ones that aren't listed every nation under heaven
So this whole thing of oh you always lose something in the translation. You know I speak five languages
I've read the Bible cover to cover in several languages, and I'm gonna taste it. You don't always lose something in the translation
Otherwise you would have lost something in the New Testament because it's in Greek
It's not deeper and so if God can speak to do you think maybe speak three?
What about four maybe even five you see God's a word can be in any language?
any language
Now is has it being translated into every language unfortunately no
You know there are languages in this world that only have maybe just portions of the Word of God in their language
Maybe just a few verses or somebody translated the book of John or just a New Testament
You know or they or they did a poor translation
but you know it is possible to translate God's Word into every language because God did it and
Throughout the Bible there are translations made you don't have to turn there
But in Daniel chapter 4 Nebuchadnezzar when he was speaking as he was moved by the Holy Ghost the whole chapter
For Nebuchadnezzar praising God and telling the story about what happened to him when he lost his mind
Was sent out to all languages
127 provinces God's Word at Daniel 4 was printed in 127 different languages
You know assuming they all spoke a different language, maybe a hundred languages who knows but so number one
What do we see it's pure number two? It's preserved number three it can be in any language according to the Bible
Now it's funny. It's funny. I was out soul-wanting last Sunday and
Who was with me when I talked to the Mormon because it was a you Garrett Garrett and I are out soul-wanting last Sunday
We knock on this guy's door, and you know I'm giving the gospel to this Mormon guy, and I'm going through with him
And I asked him I said well
You know do you believe the Bible and he said well as long as it's translated right?
Now the Mormons use the King James Version just like we do
But they always say that well as long as it's translated right you know why they say that here's why?
Because they have they don't just believe in one Bible. They got these other books. You know the Book of Mormon
doctrines and covenants the pearl of great price for total of five holy books
You know the Old Testament New Testament, and they add their three books that they put on par with the Bible
now in reality
they don't just put them on the same level with the Bible in their mind the Book of Mormon the pearl of great price and
doctrines and covenants trump the Bible
Okay, they put them above the Bible now
They don't want to tell you that though because here's what they'll tell you well
You know the Bible and these other books don't contradict. You know it's just a supplement
They're all God's Word the Mormon will tell you oh the Old and New Testament are just as much
God's words the Book of Mormon you know it's all God's Word
But here's how they get you with this little if it's been translated properly
Because see their Book of Mormon and everything came to them in English
So they say well we know that the Book of Mormon's right we know the doctrines and covenants are all but the Bible has been translated
So this is what I told the guy Garrett with me
I told him I said look I said, I'm so sick of hearing Mormons. Tell me that I
Said if there's something wrong with the King James Bible
Why don't you guys fix it instead of keep saying if it's translated right if it's translated, right?
It said well if there's something wrong with it fix it. I said to him I
Was like why is it your church fix it instead of saying five million times if it's translated right why don't you just translate it?
Right and you want to know what he said he said well
The problem is all the manuscripts are lost you know so it's been translated
So anytime you know we don't even know you don't even know what it says
But you know the sad thing is we got a lot of Baptist who believe the same thing
Yeah, a lot of Baptist believe the same thing. Oh, you know it's been lost somewhere in the translation
It's gone now again. Let's use common sense for a minute
We already know the Bible is preserved because God said so
But even let's use common sense did you know that the Bible is the most copied book in the world?
It's the most published book the best-selling book in the history of mankind
now let's say I were to produce a book and print a million copies and
Then millions more and then they were to copy them and copy them and copy them. How could I change all million copies?
Am I going to go into the home of every person who had a copy and change it individually and
Yet people think the Bible's been changed
How could it be changed when since it was written it was copied and copied and copied and copied and copied
For someone to go in and make a change they'd have to go in and change all those different copies
Okay, think about that because that's going to come into play a little bit later in the sermon
Do you have that concept in your mind if something is mass-produced? You can't change it
You'd have to go and change each copy. Okay, so if you have a million copies that say one thing, okay?
See what I mean? It's gonna be hard to change that
now
Look at 2nd Peter chapter 1 this is toward the very end of the New Testament 2nd Peter chapter number 1
This is a really interesting passage 2nd Peter chapter number 1 beginning in verse number 16
2nd Peter 1 16 because number 4 we can rely upon our Bible like it doesn't have to be like that Mormon guy
So he has no clue whether it's been translated, right? He doesn't even have a clue
So he has to have some pedophile
You know write the Book of Mormon because that's what Joseph Smith was a pedophile now you call it
Whatever you want when you're a 40 some year old man married to a 13 12 year old
You're a pedophile right and by the way Muhammad the founder of Islam was a pedophile. He was married to a nine-year-old girl
Okay, he's much of pedophile false prophets and today people say oh
We need to get equal time to all religions in a public school if we're going to teach the Bible
Let's teach the Quran written by a child molester. Okay. They said all things were different back then
You're nuts. Okay
Muhammad was 40 some years old. He's with children. Okay, that's disgusting
That's revolting and that's what that's got the devil all over it. Okay
Why don't you just realize it Joseph Smith the same thing married to all these different wives a bunch of young teenage girls
When he's like in his you know later years in life
Disgusting and the fundamentalist Mormons are doing the same thing today in Arizona and Utah the ones who actually believe the Book of Mormon
Not like the liberal Mormons who've watered it down the ones who actually believe Mormonism
They're the ones who are always getting raided and going to jail for for marrying their 12 year old cousin
Okay, and you're gonna tell me that's Christianity. You're gonna tell me that it's just another denomination. You're wrong
You say I'm offended by that. You know what the great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them
Okay, it offends you because the truth offends you and that means you just don't love the truth
Because all you have to do is even just look into their own writings and see that they were married to teenagers and children
Okay, and so that that's just I didn't make that up. I mean, that's a fact
Over it was different back then
That's pretty different anyway a second Peter chapter 1 verse 16 the Bible reads
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. That would be the Quran
That would be the Tao Te Ching. That would be the Book of Mormon. That would be the Pearl of Great Christ
That would be the Apocrypha when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
Watch this. He said we didn't follow kindly devised fable, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty
So Peter saying hey, I didn't follow some fable. He's like I saw it myself
I was here, you know, John said in first John chapter one that which we have have heard seen our hands of handled
I mean they actually physically touched and saw and heard Jesus Christ in the flesh
But watch what he says next
Verse 17 for we received from God the Father honor and glory
When there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, this is my beloved son in whom I am
Well pleased Peter saying hey, I heard God's feet those words. I was there when God spoke audibly and
This voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with him in the mouth, but watch this
This is the interesting statement
We also have a more sure word of prophecy say wait a minute. What could be more sure
What could be more certain than seeing with your own eyes and hearing an audible voice saying this is my beloved son in my well
please
He says we also have a more sure word of prophecy
Where unto you do well that you take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place
Until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts now, what's the punctuation at the end of verse 19?
Is the sentence over?
No, look at verse 20 knowing this first, so how do we have a more sure word of prophecy because we know
That no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation
For the prophecy came not an old time by the will of man
But holy men of God's faith as they were moved by the Holy Ghost
So Peter's saying I'll rely more upon what's written in the Old Testament
Then even what I saw with my own eyes and hurt with my own ears
Do you see that I mean he said he said look I didn't hear some story from somebody I was with Jesus
I heard the voice from heaven. I saw him baptized. I saw him transfigured in the mouth. I saw him feed the 5,000
I saw him walk upon the water, but he said I have a more sure word than that
It's in my hand because he said look that's you know, I'm relying upon my memory what I've seen what I've heard
I'm a human being I make mistakes. God's Word doesn't make mistakes
And so he was willing to rely more upon the Bible than even what he could see himself
So the Bible's got to be reliable. You got to be able to trust the Bible
Okay, if you're going to be able to know what the truth is about God, so that was kind of the introduction
Just telling you look, you know, it's pure. It's preserved
It could be in any language and you've got to be able to trust it and rely on it and stake
I mean, how do you know you're going to heaven because the Bible says that whosoever believeth in him should not perish
But have eternal life, that's how you know
What if that verse is wrong?
What if that verse hasn't been preserved? What if it's been changed? What if it lost some of the translation, you know?
Then you know what? Why are we even here?
See what I mean?
We got to be able to rely upon and trust it and that's why the Bible gives us all these promises that it is pure
It is preserved. It can be in your own language. It can be translated
But now let's look at the devil. Well, I'm going to show you right now
I'm going to prove to you that the devil is behind these modern translations
I'm not just saying that. I'm going to prove it to you. Have an open mind and let me show you
It's not just an accident. It's not just a mistake. I'm going to show you that the devil is behind the new translations
Look at Genesis chapter 3
Genesis chapter number 3. Now remember the illustration where I talked about how if you copy something millions of times it can't be changed
Well, here's the thing. The new modern translations
They are based upon just a couple of manuscripts
That were buried under a rock. One of them was found in a monastery
Okay, one of them was found in Alexandria, Egypt
You know the Sinai Atticus, the Vaticanus, the Alexandria Quidditch. Three manuscripts that all contradict each other
Thousands of times. Okay. Well, here's what these new modern Bible critics say. They say well, wait a minute
These are the oldest Greek manuscripts we can find therefore they must be right
Now of course there are hundreds of years after the event. They're from like 350 AD
Okay, now stop and think about that
350 AD when the Bible was written most of the New Testament because we're talking about the New Testament right now
Was written, you know during the first century. So we're talking about 300 years. Well, what year was it 300 years ago?
Does anybody know any math? 1709. That's a long time ago
1709 and they say oh, well these were the closest to the event so they must be right
Even though they contradict each other even though pieces are missing even though they're found in a Catholic monastery
Now think about this. You can't change the million, but can you change the one?
You better know you can change one and bury it somewhere in some monastery and then people dig it up and say
Oh, this is the right one. This is the true Word of God and they'll put the one against the million
Now in order to believe that those manuscripts truly are God's Word
You would have to believe that we've been wrong for the last we've been preaching the wrong thing for the last
1500 years or 1700 years
Until we had these manuscripts to show us what it really said
Now stop and think about that in the New American Standard in the front introduction
It says finally a reliable English translation of God's Word
So what have we been preaching before now?
So what we're believing so believers were preaching the wrong Bible wrong Bible wrong Bible for that for a thousand fifteen hundred years
And then all of a sudden we dug up the right one in the Vatican now stop and think about that
But that's what they'll have you to believe and this is what they say. It's the oldest Greek manuscript
Well, here's the problem with that logic. There are other older manuscripts. They're just in different languages
they're in Syria is always something original Greek God's Word can be in any language and
All the verses that they leave out and take out are in older manuscripts that they just choose not to look at
But I'm not going to get into some big archaeological discussion with you because there's no point
If I take a diamond in one hand and a cubic zirconium in the other
They look pretty much the same to you and I you know, we don't know the difference
But if I were to take them to a jeweler
He can tell me which one is real and which one is man-made and what's the difference between a diamond is a cubic zirconium?
Once made by God and once made by man if I took it to a jeweler
He wouldn't have to say well tell me where these came from and then I'll tell you which one's real
No, he just look at them
He could just look at the product and I'm going to tell you something if you put this Bible right here the King James Bible
And then we're just gonna use the NIV as the representative of the because they're all the same
I mean they all follow the same patterns the same family will call these the new translations on this side
We should be able to look at these two and see which one came from God and which one came from man
Just by looking at this without a history lesson without an archaeology lesson. Because do we really know that history is true?
Like if I get a history book and read it do I really know where I'm reading is true
But when I read the Bible, I know it's true so I can look at these two and compare them. Okay?
But first before we do that
I want to I want to look at the devil's fingerprint all over the NIV and other modern Bibles
Look at Genesis 3 verse 1 and we're gonna see how does the devil operate?
This is the first time I'm introduced to the devil in the entire Bible Genesis 3 1
now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and
He said unto the woman
Yea, hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden. So what's the first thing he did?
Question God's word. He didn't come out and tell a lot. He didn't come out and say God's lying
God's Word isn't true. No, he just questioned. Is that what he said? I mean, are you sure?
The first thing the devil wants to do is put doubt in your mind about whether or not this is really what God said
Preachers are doing it today and there were you know, trying to get people to doubt with their reading
That's what he started out by doing
Yea, hath God said I'm not saying he didn't but did he really say that look at Matthew chapter 4?
We'll see how else the devil operates
Matthew chapter number 4 this is when the devil is attempting to tempt Jesus and trying to get Jesus to commit a sin and
He basically
Catches him at a weak moment which what the devil is going to do is he come to you when you're weak
Jesus had been fasting and so he was very physically weak
And so the devil comes to him trying to tempt him trying to get him to follow the sin
It says in verse 1 then when Jesus was let up
Was let up with the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and when he fasted 40 days and 40 nights
He was afterward and hungered and when the tempter came to him, he said if
Notice the word if just a question. I'm not saying you're not the Son of God, but if thou be the Son of God
Command that these stones be made bread
But he answered and said it is written man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word that perceives out of the mouth of Christ
Why do you make a big deal about the King James issue?
Because every word is important if it's different word and it's totally different words. It's wrong
He said every word
Then the devil taking them up into the holy city and set them on a pinnacle of the temple and
Say it unto him if thou be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written
He doesn't quote it exactly though. He changed it just a little bit
He says that he should give his angels charge concerning being in their hands
They shall bear thee up less than any time thou dash thy foot against his stone now, that's 70% accurate
But it's a lie because God said of the devil in John chapter 8 there is no truth in him
So when he quotes God's Word, he twists it a little bit. He never tells the truth. He's a liar and the father of it
Okay
so he so the first time we meet him in the Old Testament is questioning God's Word and
The first time we meet him in the news have been questioning Jesus and he's also
misquoting God's Word
No, look, we should be learning from this how the devil operates now
Let me show you some of the devil's marks upon this book right here the NIV which just represents the modern Bibles
Look at you would have marked chapter 1
Mark chapter number 1
Turn your Bible to Mark chapter 1 now
I've got my mathematician here today who's gonna help me out right here by the second you ready?
You got your mind ready to do some math. You're gonna keep a running total of some numbers for me
It's just addition. You're just gonna be adding. Okay, nothing too crazy. So I'm gonna have you do this
I'm putting you on the spot. I didn't tell him he's gonna do this
So if you're doing some mental math now, but first of all, let me just show you this at the beginning of Mark
Mark verse number 1 you're looking down at the real Bible
I've got the the non inspired version up here
but in mark 1 1 it says the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God and your King James Bible as
It is written in the prophets. Now. Is that singular or plural?
plural
Prophets now you say well, does that really matter? You better know it matters because in Galatians when Paul is quoting the Old Testament
He said he saith not to seeds as of many but to thy seed
Singular as of one which is Christ so Paul in the book of Galatians is splitting hairs over an S at the end of a
Word true or false?
He said nope
It says seed singular not seeds plural and he makes a whole point out of that in Galatians chapter 4
So every letter here matters when you're when you're changing a word from singular to plural
As it is written in the prophets, okay behold. I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee
What prophet is that quoting?
Malachi that's Malachi 3 verse 1
Now look at verse 3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare you the way of the Lord make his paths straight
What prophet is that? That's Isaiah 40 verse 3. So how many prophets are we quoting?
to
Listen to the NIV
It is written in Isaiah the prophet I will send my messenger ahead of you who will prepare your way
That's verse 2 now. Is that right?
He's saying it's written in Isaiah
Written in Isaiah and then he quotes Malachi now
Sometimes the Bible say like it was spoken by a certain prophet and it might not be in their book of the Bible
But they said that this says it's written in the book of Isaiah then quotes Malachi
This one says it's written in the prophets quotes two different prophets
Okay, but let me show you something and I don't know if you can see this
But I'm gonna hold this up for you in the NIV
All throughout the NIV at the bottom of the page
Every single page has a little yea hath God said
Some
Manuscripts in verse 1 of mark 1 1 some manuscripts do not have the Son of God
It just says, you know behave the gospel of Jesus Christ
Every page in the NIV one time I was on a long drive with my parents
I was in the back of the camper this when I was a teenager. I
Was sitting in the back of the camper
We're on a really long drive and I turned every page in the NIV and I read every yea hath God said no
Because I wanted to find all the mistakes in the NIV and I figured they pretty much point them out for you where they change
So, I mean if you want to find the mistakes just look at all the yea hath God says at the bottom of the page
You know every page some manuscripts say this, you know, oh we found some other manuscripts that say this, you know
It's just like confusion. Yeah, God's not the author of confusion
But listen me now ready to do your math
Okay, now we're going to do this all together now how many verses are in chapter 1 of mark?
45 okay, you're keeping a running total you're doing the math. Okay. So 45 plus whatever is in chapter 2
Okay, so in chapter 1 we have how many verses?
45 how many in chapter 2?
28 how many in check you're not counting stuffy you just listen to the word because I want you to focus on the math
Okay, how many chapter 3?
How many in chapter 4?
How many in chapter 5 43
How many in chapter 6 56 going too fast?
How many in chapter 7?
How many in chapter 8?
38 don't go too fast
How many in chapter 9?
50 how many in chapter 10?
How many in chapter 11?
How many in chapter 12 44 how many in chapter 13
How many in chapter 14
How many in chapter 15?
And how many in chapter 16?
Very good, that's right. Cuz I checked it before
So in the book of Mark
Yeah, but I wanted to illustrate I just want people to see that I'm telling the truth so how many verses are there
Six hundred and seventy eight verse in the book of Mark
now listen
The NIV is real crafty like okay
It's really hard to tell what verse you're in in the NIV
Because notice in your Bible look at your bottle notice all the verse are lined up like the numbers are on the left home one
Two three four really easy to find a verse one in these new Bibles. They put the verses in paragraph form
So there's just numbers with it. So it takes a little while to find the verse
Like when I first counted the number I counted in the NIV
I came up with the wrong number because I it's hard to tell what the last verse is just these tiny little numbers
the reason why they do that is because in the New Testament there are 15 verses completely left out and
they actually number like 34 35 36 38 and
It would be a lot more obvious if they laid it out like the King James because you look at like 36 38
But when they do it in the paragraph most NIV readers have never even noticed that
Okay, now listen to this how many again
678 okay. Listen to this yea hath God said at the end of the book of Mark. Are you in chapter 16 be in chapter 16?
Now look most of the yea hath God says in the NIV are down at the bottom of the page
That's why they're called footnotes because they're in the foot of the page and these are in every NIV
But look at this footnote right here. I have it circled
They put it right in the middle of the text, right?
So you can't help but see it when you're reading, you know
When you finish verse 8 you can't help but see that that footnote not really a footnote
It's just in the middle of the page. Everybody get a chance to see that right in the middle of it
So when you're reading you can't help but read it. I
Mean their other yea hath God says where they question the Word of God. This one was really important to them
So they suspect it right in the middle of text. Let me read it for you the most reliable early manuscripts
Let me translate that for you the three that they found in the garbage can of a monastery
Sinaiticus, Vancathis and Alexandria codex
Okay, the most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses. Let me translate other ancient witnesses
unbelieving
Antichrist Jews like Josephus Josephus. Oh
He was an unbeliever. He's burning in hell right now and you're gonna call him an ancient witness
Hey, these are my ancient witnesses Matthew, Mark, Luke and John not some unbelieving Christ denying Jew
Josephus he probably shouted crucify him or he would have if he was there
Unbeliever, lying, devil is what he was. The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses
Do not have Mark 16 9 through 20. Did you hear that?
Let me read it again the most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16 9 through 20
So basically what they're saying is before you read this just realize it probably isn't really there
It's probably false. It's probably a lie. Well, then take it out if you're so confident, huh?
Well take it out if it's if it's not God's Word. No, they'll just question it for you
Yea hath God said verses 9 through 20, you know, there's nothing really important in these verses anyway, like, you know verse 15
Go ye therefore into all the world preach the gospel to every creature, you know, that's not that important, right?
We don't need that verse. It's my one time. I was sitting
You're not gonna believe this. I was 15 years old sitting in a church called Antelope Springs Baptist Church, Antelope, California
The priest they preached at the IV at this church
I sat in the youth group and the the path that the the youth leader told me he said there's no verse in the Bible
That says to give everybody the gospel
He said it only says to make disciples
Like to train people and make something he never said to just go preach the gospel to everybody. I
Was what of course it does now. I didn't know the Bible very well as a teenager
Yes before I was really zealous about studying the Bible knowing about but my boy that made me upset
I'm going through balls. I I know it's at the end of I know it's like one of the last things Jesus said
So I went to Matthew I turned to Matthew where it said go ye therefore and teach all nations
Baptize them. He said no
He pulled out his an idea. It says go ye therefore and make disciples
I
Said okay, let's try mark I turn to mark 16
There it is go ye therefore into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature
He said nope
Most ancient manuscripts don't even have mark 16 verse 15
So if you're reading the NIV, you know, maybe that's why these churches don't go soul in it
Maybe that's why I don't get anybody pretty saved, you know, and they criticize those who do
Now look how many verses are in the book of Mark?
678 what happens if we subtract versus 9 through 20 how many verses composed versus 9 through 20?
It's 12 well, what's 678 minus 12
666 that's how many verses are in the book of Mark in the NIV
666 now look you don't have to believe me. You just counted it yourself
We just sat there and added them up and counted them and in the King James version in the right Bible. You got
678 and the NIV they're telling you it's got
666 version that's just a coincidence though, right?
That's probably just a coincidence
Let me show you how else that the NIV is satanic look at Revelation 22 16 because I want you to know who's behind it
Who would purposely change because listen the changes in the NIV are not just random little chance changes they are
Important important verses that are changed
It's key doctrines like the verses they leave out like acts 837 where a guy asks a question
Can I you know what's stopping me from being baptized is what to hinder me to be baptized
Philip answered and said if thou believeth with all thine heart thou mayest and
He answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God
That's a pretty important verse because he he tells him you need to believe in for your baptize
And then he says I believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God then he baptized him. You're reading the NIV verse 37 is gone
He says what's stopping me from being baptized and then he baptized doesn't even answer the question
That's pretty convenient for the Roman Catholic Church
Well, that'll work out great for the Lutherans and the Presbyterians who baptized babies
Well, I have the great for all the Protestants and Catholics who want to sprinkle an infant call it baptism and call it safe
No, you got to believe with all your heart and for your baptize, right?
And so we see here that these are calculated changes that attack the deity of Christ that attack the doctrines of salvation
Revelation 22
16 pages are falling out of the NIV while I preach things just keeping removed
Somebody stand up and read for me Chad you want to stand up and read for me revelation 22 16, please. I
Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches
I am the root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning star
Okay, so Jesus is saying I'm the root and the offspring of David. He's saying I'm the bright and morning star, right?
Okay, brother Stuckey. Why don't you read revelation 22 16 out of the NIV? I
Jesus have sent my an angel to give you this testimony for the churches
I'm the root and the offspring of David and the bright morning star pretty much the same thing, right?
They both pretty much said the same thing. Okay, they both said what that Jesus is who?
Right more bright and morning star. Okay turn back to Isaiah 14
Isaiah chapter number 14
Isaiah
Chapter number 14
Somebody stand up and read for me Isaiah 14 12
Once you get there
Okay, go ahead and read it. How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer son of the morning
How art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations? Okay, so who is Lucifer who can tell me who Lucifer is?
Who is he Satan though, right?
Now look did you know that the word Lucifer only exists in one place in the entire Bible and
It's in Isaiah 14 12. And did you know this that the word Lucifer was coined in Isaiah 14 12?
It existed nowhere in the world until Tyndale translated the Bible into English
He took you know, the Hebrew word and created the name in English Lucifer
Okay, that's where that word come has anybody ever heard of like Lucifer Ian
You know people who worship Satan they say we're worshiping Lucifer
They claim Satanists call themselves Luciferians. They worship Lucifer. Okay. Now look read
Read for me now
Isaiah 14 12 out of the NIV how you have fallen from heaven O morning star son of the dawn
You have been cast down to the earth who once laid low the nation
So wait in the King James Version who's being cast out of heaven
Lucifer in the NIV who's being cast out of heaven
The morning star which is who?
Jesus
Okay, and the only time the morning star is ever mentioned in the whole Bible is in Isaiah 14 and in Revelation
Where he says in chapter 3, I'll give unto him the morning star those that are saved
Will receive the morning star receive Jesus those who had chapter 22
Jesus said I am the morning star
So the NIV doesn't have the devil being thrown out of heaven has Jesus because why why did they have Jesus being cast out of heaven?
Let's read together the whole passage revelation 14 12
He said, you know, you've been cast you've fallen from heaven Lucifer son in the morning
How art thou cut down to the ground which did sweeten nations for thou has said in thine heart?
I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God
I will sit also upon the mounts of the congregation in the sides of North
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds
I will be like the Most High yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit
So wait a minute now
The devil was casting cast out of heaven for trying to make himself like who?
Trying to be like God
For saying I will be like the Most High. I'm going to be like God
I'm gonna I'm gonna sit also with God he said I will sit with him in the sides of the North
Wait a minute now
So the NIV is having Jesus thrown out of heaven for trying to be seated at the right hand of the Father
For trying to make himself equal with God my friend. That's the same reason why the Jews want to stone him
They said you made yourself equal with God
That's because he was equal with God
The Bible says who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God
Jesus Christ was equal with God. They're saying Oh Jesus is trying to be equal with God. He's cast down to hell
This is a wicked book my friend
Satanic it's not just an accident. It's not a little different. You know, just update the language a little bit
No, this is a calculated plan to deceive to put question in your mind to trick you
Let's look at how else it attacks the deity of Jesus Christ. Look at Micah chapter 5 verse 2 Micah
You're in Isaiah just go toward the New Testament take it in the minor prophets some short books of the Bible right before the New
Testament there Micah
Chapter number 5. Oh you King James only people you guys are crazy
Right. Oh man there they watch out for them. They're a cult. They're crazy
They're nuts. They're uneducated. They forgot to read Josephus and other ancient witnesses
Look at Micah 5 to you don't look my friend. You don't have to be an archaeologist to see this right to see what's happening
Look at Micah 5 verse 2 somebody stand up and read in the King James Brett stand up and read it
Micah 5 to Micah 5 to in the King James
Without Bethlehem if
Rata though
That'll be little among the thousands of Judah
Yeah out of these shall he come forth and to me that is to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth have been
Old from everlasting. So when did Jesus when was Jesus going forth?
from
everlasting
Right. Does that sound like he was a creative being?
That he had a starting point. He did hate he said I am the beginning and the end but but you know false religion
We'll try to teach that Jesus is a created be
No in the beginning was the word the word was with God the word was God
the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him without him was not anything made that was made verse 14 and
The word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory
The glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth stand up Garrett and read for me
Isaiah for whatever we are reading the NIV I could fight to but you Bethlehem if Rata
Though you are small among the clans of Judah out of you will come to me one who will be ruler over Israel
Whose origins are from of old from ancient times. So wait a minute according to this number one. Jesus had origin
Do you know what an origin means it means that it had a starting point. Okay, and not only that from ancient times
So now they've added the word of origin and then just put it like ancient times a long time ago
Instead of what the real Bible says from everlasting you say oh, well, that doesn't really affect doctrine
It just makes it a little easier to understand
Well, look, I got something that's real easy for you to understand my friends. In fact, I'm gonna start preaching at it
It's a book. It's by dr. Seuss. It's called hop on pop
No, don't hop on pop
All ball we all play ball
All fall wall we all fell off the wall
Pat sat on a hat. No Pat. No, don't sit on that
Now what who understand everything I just said
But does that make it God's work
You know, I mean, oh, it's just gotta be easy, you know instead of making the Bible as dumb as you are
Why don't we make you smarter so that you can read the Bible right instead of just that
What we want a bunch of dumb people coming in
Tell us pastor what to believe
You know
We need the dumbed-down version. You read the Greek and Hebrew. Tell us what it means
Bunch of mindless robots come to church dumb down. So oh, you're too dumb to understand. Let me give you the NIV
dummy
It's true when I was a teenager. I brought the King James to these NIV churches
They would try to tell me you can't understand it. It's fine. What are you trying to say?
But look it's not that the idea is not to get and see oh the NIV has a third-grade reading level
Well, that means God speaks on a third-grade level. That's a pretty talk about intelligent design
This whole universe was designed by a third grader. Well, it's amazing. How did he do it?
Do you see the madness of this thing or just dumb it down dumb it down
My children understand your children if they come to church and read it from yet
They understand the Bible and there are many things in the NIV that are harder to understand
Thousands of verses I could show you that are much harder to understand like just just there's a list
You should check this out on the internet and I've looked it up in the NIV
There's a list of hard words in the NIV easy word in the King James who's ever seen that list, you know, I'm talking about
I mean it has these these really hard words like in the King James says River and the NIV says Wadi
W-a-d-i
Okay, and the King James says hell and I be shield
You know, what what the shield
These other words it'll be like in the King James it says like lieutenant, you know, and I don't know
I had some other weird word in the NIV. What was it? Say trap. Yeah. Yeah say trap and it's funny because the NIV says say trap
The New American Standard says say trap, you know all these new versions all say say trap
You you guys put say trap. That's what I put
It's like you think that they just independently came over to a state trap and then the Bible is the really hard word lieutenant
Okay, look at 1st Timothy 3 16
1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 somebody stand up and read it to me 1st Timothy 3 16
Somebody stand up and when you as soon as you get there just pop up and read it
Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh justified in the spirit
scene of angels preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world
Received up in all that's a pretty powerful verse
without
Controversy great is the mystery of goddess
God was manifest in the flesh now. Look when it says
Comma justified in the spirit. We haven't changed subjects
Basically, what it's saying is God was manifest in the flesh God was justified in the spirit
God was seen it's all the same subject. He said God was seen of angels
God was preached unto the Gentiles. God was believed on in the world
God was received up into glory man who did all those things Jesus Christ
It's very clear from this verse that Jesus is God God in the flesh
But listen to the NIV
the powerful NIV
Beyond all question, I'm reading verse 16. You're reading the King James version. I'm reading the
no inspired verses version
Beyond all question the mystery of godliness is great. That was a lot easier to understand
He appeared in a body
Who's the heat
Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness. He appeared in a body
Was vindicated by the Spirit
Was seen by angels was preached among the nations was believed on the world was taken up to who?
Jesus but see when the King James is God, so, you know, okay, Jesus is God saying God did all these things
Here's just he appeared in a body
Now another I mean there's so many things wrong with that statement he appeared in a body
Jesus being in the flesh. Okay is one thing like flesh
Versus he appeared in a body like was he a hologram like he appeared and a bill. Okay, we see him
Is he really there is he in the flesh?
You know, so there's so many little things you could pick apart with it. He's saying well pastor Anderson. You're right. I
Understand the NIV is wrong. It's wit. In fact, it's from the devil, you know
All the 666 and throwing Jesus out of heaven and all this different stuff, you know, okay. I'm seeing it
But what about you know the new King James?
Come on, right the new King James lighten up a little trying to find my new King James installing
Here we go
What come on the new King James
Are you saying that when I go to stay in a hotel and I pull out the Gideon Bible is the new King James I
Shouldn't read it
Look at first Corinthians 1 18
First Corinthians 1 18
First Corinthians chapter 1 verse 18 somebody sample read it for the preaching of the cross
A great verse, huh?
The preaching of the cross is to them to perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved. It's the power of God
What's the last letter on the word saved?
Past tense saved
Not well, I'm trying I hope so
No, I'm saved. It's done, man
Listen to this. This is the this is your precious new King James
for the message of the cross
Is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God
So now salvation is a process
Right the King James you're saved the new King James. Well, you're being saved
Do you know for sure if you died today you go to heaven? Wow, I'm working on it
I'm being saved
See how bad this I mean, this isn't a minor thing. These are major changes, right?
Okay, look at look at that. Look at first Corinthians chapter 9 verse 27
I'm going to turn to another one here
You know, I only have a limited time just to show you a few but really how many do you have to see
I mean, how long do you have, you know, we can go straight to the evening service. Literally. I literally could show you
I mean, I'm not going to because this is what I've learned
You know why I'm not going to because whenever I've talked people about this
If they don't get it after the first two or three examples
They're not gonna get it
When they start making excuses like when you show them where it's just wrong in the NIV. Oh, well, you know
Okay, let me show you another one. Oh
Well, you know, let's see what they're oh, let me show you a third one. Oh, yeah, it's like alright. Bye
I've never had somebody resist the first 19 and I showed the 20th
You know what I'm telling you the truth
Where did I return again?
What oh, yeah 1st Corinthians 927 somebody pop up and read in the King James Version
But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection
Unless that by any means when I have preached to others I myself should be a castaway
Okay. Now what what is that? Let's stop and interpret that, you know, let's read that. Okay, I
Keep under my body then he explains what that means. I
Bring it into subjection. Now. What does subjection mean?
subjection means that
Somebody's not the boss. Okay
Now a sub there's King and then there's subject under the king, right?
It's about authority now who's in charge in my body is the is my body in charge
You know does my bod just if it feels good do it. No, I
Bring my body into subjection
I keep under my body so that my mind and my spirit are in the driver's seat telling my body
No, you can't have this. Yes, you will eat this. Yes, you will eat your vegetables
You know, no, you will not eat parsley hydrogenate soybean oil or whatever, you know
Yes, you will get out of bed when the alarm goes off even though you want to sleep in right?
That's putting your body under keeping it subjection
Listen to the NIV
First Corinthians chapter 927 you're looking down at the real Bible
No
That's what it's I'm just reading it. No, I
Beat my body
Make it my slave
So that after I preach to others I myself will not be disqualified for the prize
I beat my body, you know, I mean, come on. This is nuts
It's madness. I beat myself
You
Want to know how good of a Christian I'm you want to know what dedicated on I beat myself every day
I beat myself up. I love this up in some other versions all these other modern versions
I looked up one called the amplified version. I don't know if they just make the print bold print
It's a little louder or something, but there's a Bible called the amplified version
He said I beat myself and then in parentheses it said like a boxer
I don't have it. I don't have it
I don't have a copy of it, but I want you know on the internet you can go online and browse other versions
I browse through every version of the first Corinthians 937. It said I kid you not in parentheses like a boxer
And by the way, where's the last time you knew a boxer beats himself, oh
Yeah, like a boxer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what they do when they're in training. They beat the crap out of himself
Come up with this stuff. I looked up another version. It said I buff it my own body
That means just basically just bludgeoning yourself pelting yourself
unbelievable I
Can't find the one in Hebrews. I'm just gonna close with one more
I don't want I don't want to get too crazy or good. I mean we could show you I can show you them all day long
We can go through one one through another look at Luke chapter 2. This is a bad one
Luke chapter number two go ahead beat your body go ahead by the NIV be a slave
The Bible says the truth shall make you free
Doesn't say make yourself a slave
But it says in where I turn Luke to Luke chapter 2
Look at Luke chapter 2 and verse number 33
Somebody pop up and read it in the King James Luke 2 33
Okay, so
Joseph and his mother
Marveled at those things which were spoken of him
Now, let me read it to you from the NIV the child's father and mother
Marveled at what was said about him
So basically the NIV is doing what?
calling Joseph Jesus's father
Saying the child's father and mother marveled at the things which were said about him. He just read it a minute ago. He said
Joseph and his mother
Marveled at those things now. Let me let me prove you why this is so important scroll down just a little bit in the same chapter
down to verse number
Let's see here look at verse number
48 okay, Luke 2 48 and when they saw him they were amazed and his mother said unto him now
Let me ask him he was married perfect
She was a human being right she's a sinner just like you and me
So is everything she says always right?
No, a lot of people say a lot of wrong things in the Bible
But when God is speaking when the narrator is speaking, you know, it's the truth, you know
When God's telling you what happened you better know it happened like that
It says his mother said unto him son
Why has thou thus dealt with us?
Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrow now. What does she just do?
She just called Joseph Jesus father watch him rebuke her in the next verse
And he said unto them, how is it that you saw me wish he not that I must be about my father's business
Don't tell me you and my father were looking for me
I was doing my father's business when I was preaching the Word of God
I'm not you know, I get sick of the bumper-sicker. My boss is a Jewish carpenter
No, Jesus is not a Jewish carpenter
Show me one place in the Bible that showed Jesus as a carpenter
He was doing his father's business. Joseph was not his father. Oh, but they all took up their father's business
Yep, and so did Jesus
And Joseph was not his father. You see the NIV flat-out comes out and says that Joseph was his father
And then Jesus is rebuking her for saying the same thing
So why would God be contradicting himself?
You know, we could go on and on and on and on and I you know
I have other sermons that I've preached where I've compared a whole bunch of different verses and showed you all different scriptures
You know first John 5 7 John 5 4 and we'd go on all day John 3 13
I mean we could go down the list if you look at all the ones that are missing all the ones that are changed
The NIV does not even use the word hell one time in the whole Old Testament changes it to the grave
Not even one time will you read the word hell until you get to Matthew chapter 5 if you're reading the NIV
Did hell not exist back then but see this is this is what I'm talking about here
This is not just a poor translation. I heard a preacher recently preaching. He said, you know, is the NIV bad?
No, you know Jack Scott Hammond in the end. He's like, you know, is it wicked? No, it's not wicked. It's just inferior
It's just not as good. You know, the King James is the right translation the NIV
poor
Translation, you know, is it is it of the devil? No
Who thinks it's of the devil raise your hand stand up for what's right, you know, raise it. Yes. It's from the devil
It's not just a poor translation
That's a poor translation when you're leaving out whole verses. Yeah, that's a pretty poor translate boy
You should be fired if you're translate. How would you like to be a translator and you're leaving out whole chunks?
changing everything
This is a serious issue my friend we will never back that and by the way, we're not ashamed of it either
We will hold our head up high and stand up and say faithful word Baptist Church has always been and will always be
King James Bible only that word of prayer
