Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Let's get started.
Thank you so much for coming this evening.
Song number 100, Day by Day.
Are you there on the first?
Day by day
And with each passing moment
Strength I find
To meet my trials here
Trusting in
God's wise
Bestowment
I've no cause
For worry
Or for fear
He whose heart
Is kind beyond
All measure
Gives unto
Each day what he
Deems best
Lovingly
It's part of
Pain and pleasure
Fainting toil
With peace and rest
Every day
The Lord himself is near
Me
With a special
Mercy for each hour
All my cares
He fain would bear
And cheer me
He whose name
Is counselor
In power
The protection
Of his sovereign
Treasure
Is a charge
That on himself
Belaid
As thy days
Thy strength
Shall be in measure
This the pledge
To me
He made
Help me then
In every tribulation
So to trust
Thy promises
O Lord
That I lose
Not faith sweet
Consolation
Offered me
Within thy holy
Word
Help me Lord
When toil and trouble
Meeting
Heir to take
Us from a father's
Hand
One by one
The days the moments
Bleeding
Till I reach
The promised
Land
Brother Chavis, would you lead us in prayer this evening please?
Yes sir
Heavenly Father, Lord
We praise you and thank you so much
For blessing us
With this church, Lord
Thank you for this opportunity to be here
This evening to bring your word of peace
Lord I pray that you bless your service
And open our minds
That you can hear the message
And apply it to our lives
In Jesus name we pray, Amen
Amen
Let's go to song 129
Just flip to the right and your hymnals
Rock of Ages
Song
129
Rock of Ages
Clap for me
Let me
Hide myself in thee
Let the water
And the blood
From thy wounded
Side which flowed
Be of sin
The double cure
Save from wrath
And make me pure
Could my tears
Forever flow
Could my zeal
No linger, no
These for sin
Could not atone
Thou must save
And thou alone
In my hand
No price I bring
Simply to
Thy cross I cling
While I draw
This fleeting breath
When my eyes
Are closed in death
When I rise
To worlds unknown
And behold
Thee on thy throne
Rock of Ages
Clap for me
Let me hide
Myself in thee
Thank you all so much for coming
I think we have a couple of bulletins still
On that cabin if you need one
On the inside we have our service and soul winning times
As well as the salvations
And I'm going to go ahead and get a count
For the last few days just in case there was anything
Was there anything to report Monday
For soul winning, what about Tuesday
Was there anything, one for Tuesday, great
And then
Was there anything, we had one for our group
Going out today
Was there anything outside of that
Alright, keep up the great work on soul winning
Also, we're in Proverbs
Chapter number one
A really good passage
A lot of verses
Proverbs one's a little bit longer
Than the previous ones that we've been working on
So you just got to kind of stay with it
And if you stay with it
All the way to the bitter end
You know what, the bigger the challenge, the bigger the reward
So, you know, not just spiritually
Even carnally
Hey, if you want that carnal prize
We'll help you out, if you want that spiritual prize
You know what, you're a little bit godlier than all of us
Alright, so then on the right hand side
We have the expecting ladies
Several listed there
Ms. Darnell and Ms. Santos
Congratulations to all of them
And so if you'd please be in prayer for them
That they would have a good pregnancy
That have strength when they are delivering
And that God would just bless them
Also
The preaching schedule
I'm here obviously this evening
I'm going to be here also this Sunday
So I'll be here for both the Sunday morning services
And the Sunday evening services
And so it'll be really great
To be here with you guys
Also August 6th
Brother Chris Agura
From Faith Award Baptist Church
He's going to be coming out here
And preaching for you guys
And that's a great blessing
And I believe it's the 20th
But don't quote me on that
I believe it's the 20th
I'm going to swap
With my new employee
So I have a new employee
That's coming on to work for us at Step Past Baptist Church
His name is Dylan Oz
Sure Foundation Baptist Church
Up there with Pastor Ian Thompson
In fact he's his son-in-law
And so he's not directly related
That's why it's okay
I'm just kidding
But he's going to be coming to live
In the Dallas-Borth area
And he's going to be on staff there
And so he'll just be able to help us with all kinds of stuff
Including preaching some
Here's a very good preacher
He's been preaching for a long time actually
He does a really good job
He's even come and preached for us there
In the Dallas-Borth area a couple times
And so I think it's going to be a great blessing
He'll come down here with his family
Get to meet him, his wife Jasmine
And their two daughters Bethany and Leah
So you can meet both of them
So I'm really excited about that
But he'll be coming down here
And then I can go up to Oklahoma City
And preach for them on a Thursday night
So it'll just kind of work out
Also I'll probably send him down here
Every other, once in a while
To preach, maybe on a Sunday or something like that
Just to give you guys some extra guest preaching
So just be looking forward to that as well
Also it's basically our second year anniversary this weekend
And because of COVID
I wasn't going to do anything, you know
Too extraordinary
It's a little bit more of a chill anniversary this year
But hey, we're still going to celebrate
And so this evening
Right after the sermon
We're going to have
Some false Bible burning
And I also got some s'mores
And some hot dogs
So you can pick if you want savory
Or if you want sweet
You can pick one of those
And we'll have a good time afterwards so stick around
And we've been going through the book of Psalms
We're just going to skip ahead to Psalm 12 for tonight
And we'll get that one out of the way
Since it fits in really well with our narrative
And then we'll kind of get back to the other chapters
Kind of works out
If you have any prayer requests throughout the week
You can submit those
I just wanted us to be in prayer for his mother
She's contracted COVID
And she's elderly
And so they just
I think that her symptoms were really mild though
So as an encouraging note there
But they just wanted some extra prayer
For her
And so they're still
Tuning in online
Giving me lots of suggestions for preaching and everything
So we'll be in prayer
For the mojitz and for his mother
And everyone else
That's a way for any reason
So that's pretty much it for announcements
The only thing I also was going to say about Saturday
Just so you're aware
I'm not going to do anything additional
For the soul winning
Basically we're just going to have our normal
Soul winning time that's here at the church with brother Mo
And I'm going to be here
So if you want to go soul winning with us
We'll still be going out for a couple hours
Saturday morning, 10am
I'll be here with brother Mo
And we'll go out and we'll go soul winning
So if you'd like to join us with that
And then we'll have our regular services
For Sunday
I am planning a soul winning
Marathon in the fall
It's going to be in Wichita Falls
So here's the thing
Last year we did one in
College Station
So we made the people in Oklahoma kind of drive
The extra distance
This time we're going to do it in Wichita Falls
So we're meeting them a little bit on their side
Of everything like that
It's going to be on September
But I think I might push that back
Just a month, maybe October
So as soon as I get that penciled in
I'll let you know
But this fall we're going to be planning a trip
To Wichita Falls and hopefully we'll have a pretty big gathering
Since we can have a lot of Oklahoma people
And people from Fort Worth and Dallas
And everywhere else
So you can be in prayer for that
Also, as soon as it seems reasonable
I'll schedule the Bahamas missions trip
And everything like that again
The travels just so up in the air right now
And I don't want to keep planning stuff that gets cancelled
It's frustrating
So hopefully as soon as it seems like
That is back on track
We'll get that one lined up
And we'll probably try to do another Mexico missions
Trip as well
So if you're working on your Spanish
Get your passport
And we'll be ready to rock and roll
But I'm really thankful for this church
The last few years have been really great
And you guys are a humble group of people
That have sacrificed and allowed our church
To bless other people
And bless other churches
And you know what?
Even though a lot of people don't always recognize that
God recognizes that
And so we don't do things to be seen of men
We do them just to be a blessing unto others
And this church is a huge blessing
To a lot of people spiritually
And so don't think that your labor is in vain
At this church
So it definitely means a lot to me personally
And it means a lot to other people
So just keep on plugging away
And I'm really excited for this evening
Let's go to our next song, 397
Capture the essence of this thought
Little is much when God is in it
397
Little is much
When God is in it
You can win it
If you'll go
In Jesus name
Does the place
You're called to labor
Seem so small
And little known
It is great
If God is in it
And he'll not
Forget his own
Little is much
When God is in it
Labor not
For wealth or fame
There's a crown
And you can win it
If you'll go
In Jesus name
Are you laid
Aside from service
Body worn
From toil and care
You can still
Be in the battle
In the sacred
Place of prayer
Little is much
When God is in it
Labor not
For wealth or fame
There's a crown
And you can win it
If you'll go
In Jesus name
When the conflict
Here is ended
And our race
On earth is run
He will say
To all the faithful
He will say
To all the faithful
Welcome all
My child well done
Little is much
When God is in it
Labor not
For wealth or fame
There's a crown
And you can win it
If you'll go
In Jesus name
So this time
we'll return your Bible to Psalms 12
where the brand is going to read for us
Psalms 12 will pass the offering plate quickly
Psalms 12
We're there in Psalms 12
We'll read it together and follow along with me
Help Lord for the godly man
ceaseth for the faithful
fail from among the children
of men. They speak
vanity every one with his neighbor
with flattering lips and with
a double heart till they speak
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips
and the tongue that speaketh
proud things. Who has said with
our tongues will we prevail?
Our lips are our own
Who is Lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor
For the sighing of the needy
Now will I rise, saith the Lord
I will set him
I will set him in safety from him
that puffeth at him
The words of the Lord are pure words
as silver tried in a furnace of earth
purified seven times
Thou shalt keep him, O Lord
Thou shalt preserve thee from the generation
forever. The wicked walk on
every side when the vilest man are
exalted. Lord, what a prayer
Dear God, I just thank you for this evening
Lord. Thank you for another
another year Lord. We thank you for everything that you do
for us Lord. We just pray that you just be with us
Be with Pastor Shelley. Fill in with your spirit
Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Amen. Psalms chapter number 12
the chapter of the Bible in which
our name of our church is derived
there in verse number 6
the Bible reads, the words of
the Lord are pure words
as silver tried in a furnace of earth
purified seven times
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord
Thou shalt preserve them
from this generation
forever. The Bible tells
us very clearly that
God's word is pure
meaning that it has no
defilement, that it's not dirty
that there's no problem with it
and notice here that it's purified
seven times. Additionally
the Bible even says that God's
going to preserve his word
from this generation
forever. So that means
that if you wanted to have God's word
at the time of Psalms 12
you could have it. But not only then
the next generation. And not that generation
the next generation and the next generation
this only makes sense to
believe that God
the creator of the heavens and the earth
would be able to give us his word.
Why would he give it to just a special group of people
or only in the past
this doesn't make any sense
and it would make God a respecter of persons
but the Bible makes it clear that God is
not a respecter of persons
the Bible also tells us that there's no
new thing under the sun
there's nothing where it can be said of this is new
you know it's never happened before
why? Because we all get the same
experiences and the same events
and the same gospel
now obviously they didn't drive
a truck down the road
a thousand years ago. They didn't have a cell phone
they didn't have a computer. But you know what they did
have? God's word
they've always had God's word
we've always had the Bible
and us for English speaking people today
we believe the King James Bible is
God's word perfectly preserved
for us today
meaning that it's not kind
of what God said
it's not like pretty close
it's not just a translation
no we believe it is exactly God's
words in English
it's what God said. There's no better way
to articulate what God said
in the English language
obviously God speaks every language
but you know what? His word
can be translated into English
we believe the King James Bible is a perfectly
preserved translation of
God's word. Now this is an
important doctrine. If you flip back
to chapter 11 you don't even
have to necessarily turn the page
look at verse 3 the Bible says
if the foundations be destroyed
what can the righteous do?
Now this is a great verse
to understand the importance of a foundation
and our foundation
in the Christian world
in the Christian life is
the Bible. That is our foundation
that's what we build everything off of
and if we don't have God's word
if we don't know what God said
then it's building on
an unreliable foundation
it would be built on shifting
sands and unfortunately
today most English Bibles
are shifting sands
I mean they
constantly update, they constantly
change their translation
you can't get the same NIV
today that was
printed originally, it's a different NIV
they keep changing it and updating it
they keep changing the ESV
they keep changing the Holman Christian
Standard Bible, well
how am I supposed to know which version to use?
What foundation
am I supposed to use here? And anybody
that knows anything about construction
would realize you can't have a
shifting foundation
that's going to cause everything to crumble and everything to
fall, you need a solid
strong foundation that's going to be like
a rock that's not going to move
and that's what the King James Bible is
it's a rock that has not moved
in fact, it's not changed
one word since
1611 in which it was
translated
now go view Isaiah chapter 59
one thing you would have to note
is a King James Bible
that was literally translated
in 1611 compared
to the one that you have in your hand
you would find a few differences
now those differences
would even be so far as to
adding words, taking out words
or things like that
but what you have to understand
is just like the Bible that I hold in my hand
when someone
makes a physical copy
it's possible for them to accidentally
do something wrong
even a machine, the Bible I have in my hand
right now, it literally says
SINO, it literally says
in Exodus, it says
SINO instead of just SIN
or in other places, instead of saying rivers
it says like RIVEROUS or something like that
why? because the machine got confused
and it made a type of graphical error
now with computers
you would assume that you could escape almost
every error, you could get it really dialed in
but especially
back in 1611, they had to
handset all of these little
characters, then they had the printing press
come around, and so
mass producing a whole bunch of Bibles
in 1611, they realized, hey
we accidentally made a few errors
right? and so then in
1629, they said
hey, let's print another Bible
where we fixed a lot of those typographical errors
and then in 1638, they said, hey
we noticed a couple other
typographical errors or places where the
printing press made a mistake here
and then in 1769
they say, you know what?
we also want to
update some of the spellings
some of the spellings of these words have changed a little bit
music had a K at the end
right? or there are certain
words like color would have a U in them
as opposed to just C O L
O R
and so they ended up updating the spellings
and a lot of those typographical errors
that were corrected in 1629 and
1638 and
now we have a 1769
King James Bible, and even today
manufacturers will accidentally
print things wrong or make a little
slight mistake, but we still have
the King James Bible, it's still the word of God
and just because of those
tiny little human errors
does not put any doubt on the
King James Bible or on my faith
I know this is the
word of God, now that's what some people would pick at
they would, you know, strain at these gnats
and swallow the camel of the NIV
swallow the camel of the ESV
but the Bible gives us a very
clear verse here in Isaiah 59
about the preservation of God's word, look at verse 21
so in Isaiah, God says
to Isaiah, hey
the words that I put in your mouth
not only are you going to say them
but your children are going to say them
he says thy seed, and he says not just your children
thy seed's seed, so your
grandchildren, and then you say
well is it just them?
like how long is this going to last for?
well he says not only them, from henceforth
notice, forever
so that tells us that God's word
would not depart out of the
mouth of man ever
we have to have
the book of Isaiah, we have to have God's
word, and when you don't understand this
doctrine of preservation
really it allows you to have
all these weird and strange ideas creep
in about the Bible or God's
word, go to 1 Peter chapter number 1
1 Peter chapter number 1
the Bible says in Proverbs
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, the Bible
gives a strong warning saying we're not supposed
to tamper with God's
word, we're not supposed to alter
God's word, his instructions
and it's very important
because in 1 Peter chapter number 1
the Bible tells us
why this is so important, it says in
verse number 23, being born again
not of corruptible seed
but of incorruptible by the word of
God which liveth and abideth
forever
the Bible says that we were born
again by God's
words, so if you tamper with them
if you alter them, if you
change them, if you corrupt them
then it's no longer
that incorruptible seed
it no longer has
the potential or the ability
to cause people to bring forth
spiritually because it's not
God's words and we
cannot be born again of
corruptible seed, we have to be
born again of incorruptible which is
specifically the Bible which is
specifically is the word of God, this is
very important, go if you would
to John, go backwards a little bit
go to the book of John chapter number 10 for a moment
and constantly throughout
the Gospels
Jesus Christ would reference
the Bible itself, he would say
as it is written, or in Mark
he says have you not read in the book of
Moses, now think about this logic
for a moment okay, let's
assume that the originals
were lost
well God gave us the Bible and he gave
us the originals, but then it
got lost, because this is what a lot of people believe
a lot of people say well of course
the originals are God's
word, of course man had them then
but then they got lost
well how long was it from
Moses to Jesus Christ?
that's a pretty long time, imagine
them getting lost, then what sense
would it make for Jesus Christ to say have you not
read in the book of Moses?
wouldn't they just say Jesus, we
don't have the originals, we don't know
how to read it, we don't know what Moses
said, did they ever come up with
that excuse? did they ever
say we don't know what Moses said? no
whenever Jesus Christ appealed to
the book of Moses, at least back then
the Pharisees and the Sadducees, they would at least
admit well yeah that is what the book of Moses says
yeah that is what the scriptures
say, Jesus never appealed
to the idea of the scriptures
he appealed to the scriptures themselves
as if they had them in their hands
but I'm supposed to believe for the first
4,000 years of human history
we have God's word, it's been
preserved and then we get the most
important aspect of the entire Bible
the gospel, the gospels of Jesus
Christ and they get lost
I mean imagine, what is
God doing? I mean he said
hey I'm going to preserve it from this generation forever
hey all the way back from David to Jesus
it's been preserved, all the way from Isaiah
to Jesus it's been preserved, all the way from
Moses to Jesus it's been preserved, now we just lost it
what kind of sense does that make?
what kind of faith does someone have to have
to believe this kind of nonsense?
you know Jesus also said David
himself say in the book of Psalms
this says in John chapter 10 verse 35
if he called them
gods, unto whom the word of God came
and the scripture cannot
be broken
he's saying hey whatever the Bible
says is going to happen, so if God
said he's going to preserve it
it cannot be broken, it has to be preserved
so therefore
if you believe the Bible, any of it
then you have to accept all of it
you cannot pick and choose which pieces
of the Bible that you want to accept today
and just as sure as I believe
John 3 16, I believe Psalms 12 6 too
which says hey
it's pure words, just like I believe
Psalms 12 7 which says it's going to be preserved
from this generation forever
therefore I have to have a forever
translated Bible, I have to have
God's word somewhere
now
go if you would to
Matthew chapter number 5 for a moment
2 Peter chapter 1
you don't have to turn all these places, I'm giving you a lot of verses here for a moment
we have to understand this doctrine of preservation
Peter
himself said
we are also a more sure
word of prophecy
where unto you do well that ye take heed
as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, even the apostle Peter
he said in comparison to having
seen the transfiguration of Jesus
Christ, having been in the holy mount
having Jesus Christ transfigured before
his eyes, having seen Moses and Elias
speak with Jesus Christ, hearing God
the Father speak out of the cloud of heaven
saying this is my beloved son in whom I am well
please hear ye him
he says hey you know what's more trustworthy
than all that, the Bible
but then they say oh we
lost it, it's like well
Peter didn't feel that way, Peter felt like
we have a more sure word, I
can trust the Bible
more than my own eyesight
my own ears having seen
Jesus Christ transfigured
before my eyes, hearing the voice of
God the Father, I mean what physical
experience could you have more than that?
I mean he just saw it all
he saw Jesus Christ die on the cross
he saw Jesus Christ rise
from the dead, I mean he saw him risen
he didn't necessarily see the moment
but he saw the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ
he talked with them, they had a meal
together, he watched them ascend
back up into the heavens
have you ever seen someone fly into heaven?
I mean
we're talking about some amazing things
he says you know it's more trustworthy than all that
the Bible
that means I don't need to see some kind of special
experience to have a lot of faith in
God, all I have to do is believe this book
this book is more
trustworthy than anything you could see
or experience today
and when people want to give me a personal experience
that goes contrary to the Bible
I know they're lying
it's always whatever the Bible says
Matthew chapter 5 verse 18
the Bible says
now here's the thing
Jesus Christ came to fulfill scripture
but he did not fulfill
all of the scripture necessarily
he fulfilled all the scripture concerning
him, but he did not
fulfill all the scripture concerning
the end times
I mean there's plenty of Old Testament
scripture that deals with the second coming
that deals with the end times
tribulation, I mean the book of Daniel
is all about the anti-Christ
and all about God coming
back the second time and destroying
the anti-Christ, there's great passages
in Isaiah about the millennial reign of Jesus
Christ, look those verses
those scriptures have not
been fulfilled yet, ok, they will
be fulfilled, now everything concerning
Jesus Christ coming and dying on the cross
being buried and risen again
he did fulfill that, ok, and he didn't
come to destroy the law, he came to fulfill
and he did fulfill the law in
aspects of our salvation and the fact
that no longer
well, was never the case, but
no one's going to be justified by the law
we're justified by grace
through his redemptive act, but
what you have to understand is it's saying
that heaven and earth could not pass
one jot or tittle
shall know why he's passing the law, look
he's saying, just think
about the entire earth exploding
and heaven
going away, he's like, that
can't happen until all
of the Bible has been fulfilled, even a
jot or a tittle
now a jot or a tittle
this is kind of basically like crossing
your t's and dotting your i's in English
ok, to put in a more modern
vernacular, now if I didn't cross
my t, it could look like an l
if I didn't dot my i
it could look like another letter
and that could possibly change the word
and then if the word's changed, now it's corrupted
Jesus is saying, hey, one jot or
one tittle shall know why he's passing the law
so it sounds like God cares about the semantics
you know, a lot of people are like, oh
it's just semantics, you guys
y'all quibble about the King James
or the new King James
I mean, it's new, come on
you know, what are you quibbling
over the semantics here, well
Jesus Christ was quibbling over the jots
and the tittles, wasn't he
one word, he didn't
I didn't come up with this doctrine, Jesus did
ok, it's his scriptures
and you know what, he is the word of God
so I don't want to put down the word of God
he's magnified thy word above all thy names
what the Bible says, in Psalms 138
go if you would to
Matthew 4 for a moment
we want to
elevate the Bible, we don't want to downgrade it
we don't want to treat it as if
it's just some, you know
replaceable ideas
well, we kind of got the sense
we just kind of got the general idea
of what the Bible is saying, no, we want the
words of God, no, we want to know exactly
what he said, we want it to be
communicated to us perfectly and preserved
in our language
and you know what, we shouldn't get racist
up here and say that only English people
can have the Bible, I believe God speaks
every language today and God wants
everybody to have the Bible in their language
too, he wants them to fully understand the
word of God and so we need to go out and
champion the word of God today, but
these modern versions are a perversion
and a corruption of God's
word, we'll get there in a second
but Matthew 4, look at what the
Bible says, this is
Jesus being contending with the devil
and the devil is commanding him to make
bread out of stones
and this is Jesus' response, he says
but he answered and said, as written, man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God, so notice
we need every single
word that proceeded out of the mouth of God
now, we have to understand
is obviously God
whenever he spake his word
he wasn't speaking English necessarily
he would have been speaking what,
Hebrew in the Old Testament most of the time
we have Greek translated
for us in the New Testament but
Jesus is probably speaking Aramaic
but here's the thing
if I say something to you in English
and then I say it exactly in Spanish
it's still the same words
and that's what we're trying to get here
and some people go so as far, now here's the thing
I want to distinguish between what we believe and some crazy
people believe, okay, we believe the King James Bible
is God's word without error, some people
take it to such an extreme though
that you can't use any other language
now think about this verse though we just read
we're supposed to have every word that
proceed out of God's mouth
he literally spoke like
Hebrew, he literally
spoke other foreign languages
and then people get up and say
we don't have the Hebrew though
we have the English and I'm just like only
I'm just like what in the world
how could you believe that all the preservation
is attributed to the translation
in English and not
to the words that he literally spake
in Hebrew or in Greek
I mean he literally
wrote the Ten Commandments with his finger
on a tablet and gave
it to Moses but that got lost
we only have the English version of that
I mean that's bizarre, okay
I believe we have all of it, okay
I believe we got the Hebrew, we got the Greek
and hey guess what, it was translated
in English and we got the King James Bible
and look, obviously English
is superior to other languages in a lot of ways
and the fact that it's more
spoken by people, it's more
used, it's more influential
you know this is a lot more important
than Latin, okay, this is a lot more
important than other languages per se
but God's not a respecter of persons
and we believe the King James
Bible is God's word without error but he can speak
every language and specifically
the languages he spake in the
Bible, of course
now go to Isaiah chapter
30, go one more time to Isaiah and we're
going to get into the sermon here for a moment
but I just wanted to get you
your idea and your mindset
what the Bible is saying about preservation because
it's under attack today
it's been under attack for 100 years
when all these modern versions
have been coming out and challenging
the idea of God's word being preserved in English
today and some people want to
believe that we're in a constant
pursuit of finding exactly what God
said, that we can't really know
we're constantly trying to find it and dig
it up and get some more
manuscripts and really
it's just a pursuit to find
something that doesn't exist
because we already have the word of God
I mean the King James Bible is the most popular book in human history
look, we already got it folks
the search is over
the question is, hey let's just
give ourselves to the word of God
why don't we just submit to what it actually says
and start believing the
Bible. Isaiah 30, look at verse 8
now go write it
before them in a table and note it
in a book that it may be
for the time to come
forever and
ever. Notice he says hey I want
you to put these words down somewhere where people
can read them not just for now
not just for next year
hey forever! We want to have
God's word, it's important and look
most of the Bible when it was
delivered was not about that
time. It was always about the
future. It's like hey later I'm
going to flood the earth Noah
hey later you know
someone's going to come, the Messiah
hey later there's going to be judgment
I mean when we read the book of Revelation
they've been reading that for 2,000
years, it hasn't happened yet
ok, it's talking about
future things so
of course just as important as it for them then
it's just as important for us to have it now
because it's telling us about things that are going to
happen in the future constantly
what sense would it make, hey I'm going to give you
a piece of information, ok
it's not for you, it's for people in a
thousand years from now, but guess what you're going
to lose it before they get to that
thousand years, then what was the point?
hey I want to give you a message
ok, it's not for you, it's for
someone else, but you're going to fail
in giving them the message accurately
I mean that's basically what they
believe, how could you believe
that God would give
the church is in Asia
the book of Revelation, the 7 church of
the book of Revelation right?
and then say this is not for you guys
I mean the first part is ok, but the latter
parts are not for them and then
be like but you're going to lose it by the time
the churches actually need it
by the time they actually need all that instruction
all the wisdom that God had for you, you just lost it
I mean this is the
logic of 90 plus
percent of churches today, now they
wouldn't spell it out that way because it sounds stupid
when you actually point out what they believe
but that's what they believe, now
I have with me
the cornucopia of trash
that people call Bibles today
and we're going to go through some of these
and show because
after the service we're going to burn them
and that's really offensive to people
a lot of people get really offended at the idea
of taking what I have in my hand here
this is an ESV
and putting it in fire and burning it
but you know what? I take offense to
people that would corrupt the verses I just showed you
I take offense to anybody
that would tamper with God's word
I take offense because this is Jesus Christ
he is the word of God
and this is what gets people saved
this is what changes their lives
this is what I put all my faith in
and so when someone wants to tamper that and corrupt that
you know what? I don't treat it well
and I don't have any respect for it at all
and you know what? There is plenty of verses
in this book that do say
pretty much the same thing
and I'm not against those verses
what I'm against is all the changes
what I'm against is all the places in which it makes
horrible, subtle, or even sometimes blunt changes
now let's point out a few of these
now I have the ESV in my hand
let's go over to 1 Samuel chapter 13
1 Samuel 13 your Bibles
and I'm going to have you turn around with me and look at these
and I'm going to show you what these other versions do
to the word of God, to the Bible today
1 Samuel chapter number 13
and look
I think it's fun for kids to
help us do this and to burn them
and it's kind of exciting
but I want them to know why
I don't want them to just, hey we burn Bibles at church, it's cool
it's like, what are you talking about
burning Bibles?
we're burning false Bibles
we're burning fake Bibles
things that are not really God's word
we would never burn God's word
we would never want to harm God's word
and look, even if I took a real
King James Bible and damaged it
I didn't damage God's word, okay
it's just pages
God's word, you can't get rid of it
but you know what, I can get rid of this trash here
and we're going to do our best to do that
1 Samuel chapter 13, look at verse 1
the Bible says, Saul reigned one year
and when he had reigned two years over Israel
now that's a pretty
you know, unassuming verse
a pretty simple, straightforward verse
just saying, hey, Saul reigned a year
and then once he had reigned two years
and then it kind of goes into some dialogue about that
listen to the ESV
Saul was
dot dot dot years old
when he began to reign
dot dot dot
now
it has a footnote, it says 4
so I go down the footnote, it says
the number is lacking in the Hebrew
it says, we don't even know
it just says, like, literally
we just don't have God's word
that's what this book is saying, I didn't make this up
literally, it just says
dot dot dot
it says, hey, we don't have God's word
now, in light of all the verses that we already looked at
about the preservation of God's word
how could you then read this book and say, oh yeah
by the way, we have no idea
that's not the only dot dot dot in this verse
let me finish this verse
okay, Saul was dot dot dot
years old, when it began to reign
and he reigned dot dot dot
and two years over Israel
it has multiple ellipses
in one verse
saying, oh, we don't even know
when Saul was one years old
he began to reign
and they realized how stupid that was
so they just changed it to dot dot dot
which didn't make it much better, my friend
go to 2 Samuel
and look at chapter 21
2 Samuel, chapter number 21
now, these people
that get upset about us being
King James only, I would love for them
to tell me what those dot dot dots are all about
because you say
oh, there's not any changes
that was a weird change
okay, 2 Samuel
and let's look at
chapter 21, verse 19, the Bible says
and there was
again a battle in Gob with the Philistines
where Elhanan, the son of Jehoragim
a Bethlehemite, slew the brother
of Goliath, the Gittite
the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam
so Elhanan killed Goliath's brother
who was also a giant
let's read it in this trashy version
the extremely stupid version
the SV, it says
in verse number 19
you follow along in your Bible
and there was again war
with the Philistines at Gob and Elhanan, the son
of Jehoragim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath
the Gittite
the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam
the SV says
that Elhanan killed Goliath
but in 1 Samuel, chapter
17, we know that David
slew Goliath, so which one is it?
they actually have contradictions
in their own scripture
now how could you sit here and say oh the scripture can't be broken
and then you just have
glaring contradictions in the Bible
you just have it change and say completely different things
now you know that was one of the first
examples anybody ever showed me
how the ESV was different than the
King James, that was the first one
I ever saw and you know what I said
this is trash, that's what I said immediately
I said well that's garbage
we know that David killed Goliath, I don't even have to wonder
I just immediately was like
reject the ESV
why don't other people do that?
I don't get it, I don't get why you want to believe
that he killed Goliath
that's a lie, why would you want to believe lies today?
go to Proverbs, chapter 11
the extremely satanic version
just changing verses
now again, you sometimes have to
ask this question and you really
you feel like you shouldn't, but how many
times do I have to show you that this is different
how many times do I have to show you
that the verses say different things
for you to admit that it's different
for me it's one
for me it would just be one place
now I can show you multiple places
and it's not just like
it's just a semantic thing, no it literally
changed who killed Goliath
nope, it literally had an ellipsis
for an amount of time
it's literally going to say
a completely different thing here
Proverbs, chapter 11
and I want to flip there with you
in the King James, the King James says in verse 16
so it's saying hey, you know
a woman who's gracious, that's going to give her
a lot of honor, people that are strong
are able to keep on to
the riches that they have, if you're weak
you're going to end up losing the things that you have
now let's see what it says in the extremely stupid version
here in Proverbs 11, verse 16
and a violent
men get riches
violent men
that's almost praising
being violent, what kind
of a proverb is that?
you know the Bible says the bloody and deceitful
man shall not live out half his days
is what the Bible says, it's negative
towards those that would have violence
and here it's praising violence
saying all violent people get to keep
on, hang on to their money, saying if you want to keep
on your money be violent with people
whereas the Bible is saying be strong
that actually makes sense
it's just completely changing it to something different
look at Proverbs chapter 16
Proverbs chapter 16, just flip the page
King James Bible says in verse number 1
so in your Bible
who is the one that has the preparations
of the heart and man?
it's from the Lord, right?
the preparations of the heart and man and
the answer of the tongue is from the Lord, it's all from the Lord
the preparations of the heart and man and the answer of the tongue
listen to the ESV
and Proverbs 16 verse 1
the plans of the heart belong to man
but
the answer of the tongue is from the Lord
now isn't that saying like the
exact opposite there for the first part?
it's saying hey, the
heart belongs to man but the
tongue belongs to God, the King James Bible
saying both belong to God
that's saying the exact opposite again
now I could show
you this constantly, go to Proverbs 18
and look at verse 24
Proverbs 18, now I love the book of Proverbs
it's great to get so much wisdom
but the
modern versions today, they tamper with
the book of Proverbs so much and they change
the Proverbs of God into meaning
contradictory things into foolishness
now this one
is honestly, you know, just
moronic, if you believe that the ESV is correct
on this, it's just because you have no logic
Proverbs chapter 18
look at verse 24, a great verse
a man that hath friends must show himself friendly
and there is a friend that's to get closer
than a brother saying if you want to have friends
you have to be a friendly person which just makes
common sense, it's something that's evident
we see today and it's just great
advice to be reminded of being friendly
listen to what the ESV does to this verse
a man of
many companions may
come to ruin
a man of many companions
may come to ruin
having a lot of friends is bad
for you, saying that you'll
actually destroy yourself, you'll come to ruin
by having
many companions
it's like a loner wrote this book
you know, some loner
person that's a Calvinist that has no friends
was like, well, don't have friends then
you know, that's not
what the Bible says, okay
what kind of silliness
is these people believing
and ascribing to, look at Proverbs 19
look at verse 18
Proverbs 19 verse 18
now, again
great wisdom in the King James Bible here
this is a very important verse
chasing thy son while there is hope
and let not thy soul spare
for his crying, the Bible is saying
it's important to punish your children, it's important
to discipline them and to give them
correction, and notice it says
you're not supposed to spare for his crying
meaning what, you shouldn't decide
well, I need to discipline him
I don't want to hear his crying
I don't want to, you know, hurt his feelings
I don't want him to feel that pain
or whatever from the discipline
but you're not supposed to
allow his
crying or whimpering or whatever
cause you to stop disciplining him
because it's good for him, he needs it, okay
look at what, listen to this
what the ESV does in this verse again
discipline your son
for there is hope, do not set
your heart on putting him to death
what in the world
it's saying don't set your
heart on putting your
child to death
what kind of parent does that
what kind of instruction
is that, saying
you know, don't decide to want to kill
your own children here
I mean, it's just, it's insane
and what was the hope there
I mean, it's like, it just has
nothing to do with the verse, it completely
changes it to mean something completely
it's a strange idea even
being planted in your mind
go to Micah chapter number 5
it's right before the gospels
you got the minor prophets
a little bit further to the right
in your Bible, Micah chapter number 5
and this is going to be a prophecy
of the Lord Jesus Christ, a very familiar verse
I think a lot of people are pretty familiar with it
and even the fact that these modern versions change it
but Micah chapter number 5
verse 2 gives us some prophecy
it says
so it's saying that the Messiah is going to come
from Bethlehem, even though it's a small
little town, it's not something that's
very noteworthy in its size
little is much when God is in it, right?
it's saying Jesus Christ is going to come
from Bethlehem, it's saying like
you know, Jesus is going to come from some
little podunk town
out in the middle of nowhere
basically what it's trying to say in Bethlehem
is that place, and it gives
attributes of Jesus Christ, saying he's going to be the ruler
saying that his goings forth
have been from of old
saying how old?
from everlasting
saying that there is no beginning of Jesus Christ
he is the beginning, he's before
everything, Jesus Christ has
never come into existence
because he's from everlasting
what does the modern versions do to this
verse?
it says whose origin
origin implies
a beginning
stating that he has, oh there's some kind of
the beginning, and look the Mormons today
they believe that Jesus Christ
is the first
creation, so that he was the first thing
created, he would have been from old or from
ancient days, but he has an origin
here's the thing, the Bible
says that Jesus Christ is from everlasting
he doesn't have an origin, there is
no point in which Jesus Christ
came into being, the Bible says Jesus Christ is
the same yesterday, today
and forever, there is no point
in which there was an origin of the Lord Jesus Christ
it's blasphemy what
these modern versions do to the Lord Jesus Christ
and look, the doctrine of the Trinity
is under attack all the time
in Christianity, from all kinds
of false religion today, and so
why would I want to have a Bible that implies
he had a beginning, now all of a sudden
I might come up with a weird
satanic false doctrine attacking the Lord
Jesus Christ himself
now
this one, I mean, I've tried to go to a lot of
this one's just bad, okay, ESV
we're going to burn that later, alright
then we got the book of Mormon, I mean Mormon
I'm sorry, Mormon
now this is not, this is
like a cult book, okay, I think even most
Christians would probably be okay with me burning this one
but, you know, this one
they literally have a guy
in here whose name is Moron
I am not joking, okay
his name is Moron, and there's the land
of Moron, I think he was at least
wicked or something, but
this book is just bizarre, it's racist
it has the phrase repent of your sins
in it multiple times
and I only know like one verse
pretty much in the book of Mormon, just because it's so
bad, but the
Mormons have been racist from
their beginning, and
let me give you a verse to prove that
in Jacob chapter 3
and it's verse 8, I've always been one that I've
just kept in my memory bank for
some reason, this is what it says
when ye shall be brought
with them before the throne of God
now, in the book of
Moron, I'm sorry, Mormon
they're rebuking people that are not
believers in Mormonism, not believers
in Joseph Smith, or I'm sorry
they're rebuking the Mormon people
with an example
of non-Mormons, they're saying
hey, all these non-Mormons
their skin is whiter
than y'all's skin, it's lighter, fairer
skin than y'all, and he's saying that's a
proof of the fact that they're more righteous than you guys
and then he's rebuking them with that
implying that skin
color somehow has to do with how
godly or righteous you are
meaning if I go out and work in the sun all day and I get a tan
I was like sinning or something
okay, and that's why the darker
skinned people, you know, someone
especially that was black, they didn't
ever associate with the Mormons because they
thought they were all so wicked and evil
and sinful because of their skin color
look, babies come out with their skin color
they're not more sinful
than one another, it's a stupid doctrine
god doesn't care about skin color
god's not a respecter of persons
and neither should we be
we should have a church filled with people of all
kinds of shapes, sizes, and skin color
and hair color, who cares?
but they literally have in their book
racist verses like this one
and this is not the only racist verse that they have
but also they're implying you have to repent of your sins
to be saved or something like that, it's garbage
let's get another one here
the New Living translation
this one is complete trash, go to John chapter 7
John chapter 7 in your Bible
and I'm just going to show you a few examples out of some of these other ones
but I want you to understand
why we're going to burn them, it's because they're
attacking the Bible themselves
they're changing the word of God and they're saying something
completely different
now in John chapter number 7
Jesus Christ is being harassed
by his family, his family doesn't
believe in him, his family doesn't support his ministry
and in John chapter number 7
verse 8, the Bible says, go ye up under this feast
I go not up
yet under this feast, for my time
is not yet full come
so Jesus Christ is
not able to just go around in public
because if he did, people might kill him
because people didn't like Jesus
I know that's like contrary to
what most people teach
Jesus was so unpopular
that just going out in public, people would
just kill him, so he had to go around
and kind of hide himself a little bit
he's kind of like a fugitive on the run a little bit
and so he couldn't just openly go up to this feast
so they would just kill him
and he had to die on the cross
so he had to die a very specific way
so he says, hey you guys go up, but I'm not going up yet
okay, listen to what this
Bible says
it says in verse number 8
you go on, I'm not
going to this festival
because my time has not yet come
now this is a problem
why? If I told you, hey I'm not going to church tonight
and then you saw me at church
what would you think?
that I lied, right?
I mean, that's a lie
if I say, hey I'm not going to church tonight guys
you're like, what are you doing at church?
in this same book, verse 10, this is what it says
but after his brothers left for the festival
Jesus also went
that's an important word, yet, isn't it?
to say, hey I'm not going up yet
to this feast
but this Bible just takes it out
that means that Jesus lied
why would I want to have a Bible
that's making Jesus a liar?
how could I not burn a book that's calling
Jesus Christ a liar today?
yet, people get so offended
how about Romans, chapter number 16
if you needed any more examples from this book
I hate this book, this book is wicked
saying that Jesus lied
oh, it's just semantics, yeah
why care about semantics when it's implying
our Lord and Savior lying?
since the Bible says it's impossible for God to lie
since the Bible is saying that there's no
unrighteousness in him
Romans, chapter 16, verse number 1
now, in your Bible
it calls Phoebe a servant
listen to this one, I commend to you
our sister Phoebe
who is a deacon in the church in Chantria
it calls a woman
a deacon in this book
the Bible says deacons are supposed to be the husband of one wife
how did that work out?
how does that even make any sense today?
I wonder who wrote this book?
probably a woman
and look, a lot of women are on these translating committees
for these books, for these Bibles
I'm surprised that that got in there, huh?
go to chapter 14, and look at verse 14
here's another stupid false doctrine
of speaking in tongues
which is a phrase you'll never find in the King James Bible
not one single time
the Bible does talk about people
speaking with other tongues
which would mean they're speaking in another language
or a foreign language
the Bible talks about people speaking in an unknown tongue
meaning a language that they don't know
it says in 1 Corinthians 14, 14 in your Bible
for if I pray in an unknown tongue
my spirit prayeth
but my understanding is unfruitful
saying, if I were to pray in Spanish
you know, some people might not understand that
or if I were to pray in Latin
I don't speak Latin
if I were to pray in Mandarin somehow, by a miracle of God
I don't know what I'm saying
I don't know what I'm saying, okay
you're like, that's offensive
just get over yourself, alright
but what does this say?
it says, for if I pray in tongues
my spirit is praying
but I don't understand what I'm saying
they change that
if I'm praying in tongues
now, if we actually know what that word means
it means languages
if I pray in languages
you're like, what are you saying?
it's lingo for the modern Charismatics
who say, oh, I'm praying in tongues
oh, I'm speaking in tongues
it's just nonsense because it's not a real thing
they just make this stuff up
and they sound like a devil
they sound like a demon
and it's not of God
go to 1 Thessalonians, turn to the right
1 Thessalonians, chapter number 5
and let's look at verse number 22
an important verse in the King James Bible
and one that's very clear
modern versions change this verse
to mean something different
and they weaken the Bible
it says in 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, look at verse 22
abstain from all appearance of evil
the Bible says
we should be so far away from evil
it doesn't even look like we're close to evil
just the appearance, even if something just looks bad
seeing you're doing nothing wrong
but it just kind of looks bad
it's a bad situation, it's an awkward situation
you shouldn't even be there
you should abstain from that, is what the Bible says
look at this one, or listen to this one
1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, verse 22
stay away from every kind of evil
now first of all, I'm like
who doesn't even know that already?
hey, stay away from evil
don't sin
don't do bad
but what does the King James Bible say?
abstain from the appearance of evil
a verse that a lot of people need
because a lot of people do things that looks pretty bad
what they're doing, they need to abstain from
even the appearance of evil
go, if you would, to 1 John, chapter 3
I'm going to show you one more out of this
the New Luciferian translation
1 John, chapter number 3
and look at verse number 9
now, 1 John's a
very strong meat of the word
book of the Bible, and there's a lot of verses
that sometimes you don't understand
cursory glance
but because people don't understand them
it's an easy place for them to make bad translations
like the one we have here
look what it says in verse 9
now, what we have to understand is
sinless perfection is not a doctrine the Bible teaches
but what the Bible does teach is a dichotomy
between the new man and the old man
that exists once you get saved
the moment you get saved
your physical body changes to zero
yet the spirit inside of you
is quickened, it becomes alive
it's born of God, that's why it's called being born again
but you still have the old man
and here's the thing, that old man
sins all the time
the only thing he can do is sin
but the opposite is true with the new man
the new man cannot sin
it's impossible for him to sin
because he's been born of God, he has the seed of God
so now you have that new man and the old man
and there's a struggle
a daily struggle of which one you're going to listen to
which one you're going to walk in
are you going to keep walking in that old man
are you going to walk in the flesh in the morning
or are you going to walk in the new man
or are you going to do that which is spiritual
and those that don't go to church
those that don't read their Bible
those that don't pray
they're constantly walking in that old man
and they're just sinning a lot more than they have to
but the Bible says in your new man it's impossible to sin
a very important doctrine
something to understand and think about
it's a little bit deep of a subject to get into
but I wanted to give you a little bit of explanation
so this Bible changes this verse
those who have been born
into God's family
do not make a practice of sinning
because God's life is in them
so they can't keep on sinning
because they are the children of God
it says oh you don't make a practice of sinning
well here's the thing
that destroys everything I just explained to you
because number one
your flesh can't change
your flesh can't stop sinning
as the Bible very clearly teaches
your new man never sinned
so to say that they don't keep on sinning
or say they're not practicing sin
would imply
either A your new man sinned at some point
or B
that you somehow stop the flesh from sinning
both are false doctrines
and they're really wicked doctrines
because people use that
to point to an evidence of salvation
they say oh well if you keep on sinning
then you're just not saved
instead of understanding that you're just being carnal
instead of telling people you probably need to start reading your Bible
you probably need to get back into church
you probably need to get on your knees and pray some more
and start walking in the new man
or in fact most of those people don't even have the new man to start off with
they need to get saved
they need to understand the gospel by grace
through faith
it's not of works unless any man should boast
is what the Bible teaches very clearly
and it's impossible for God's seed
to commit sin
so what's the point of telling them hey
don't keep practicing sin
the new man can't sin
so there
I'm not ever going to practice sin when I'm in the new man
that's why there's no condemnation of them
which are walking in the spirit of God
that's a bad translation
and you know most of the modern versions make
this wicked translation error here
I'm done with that one
let's go to something that people
oh the new King James
come on Pastor Shelley
I mean the new King James
I mean that's going to be a good one
go over to Hebrews chapter 2
now not only do I have a new King James here
I have a John MacArthur
study Bible
John MacArthur
is a prolific Bible teacher
he's very
studious and very knowledgeable
now what you have to understand
about John MacArthur
is he's a Calvinist
and Calvinists don't believe the Bible
Calvinists believe in a false doctrine
described by Tulip
one of their biggest problems is they don't believe in free will
another thing they teach though
is they teach that Jesus Christ did not die for everyone
they teach that Jesus Christ's
death and atonement
only applies to certain people
only to the elect
which is a wicked false doctrine
and there's plenty of verses in the King James
I mean you basically just let the King James Bible fall open
I can probably find you a verse that contradicts that
but some of them are so clear
like in Hebrews chapter 2
verse number 9
give me one second to just flip
I want to read it too with you
but it says very clearly
but we see Jesus
who is made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death
crown with glory and honor
that he by the grace of God should taste death
for every man
that's the case closed
he tastes the death of every man
now let's read what this says
New King James
we see Jesus who is made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death, crown with glory and honor
that he by the grace of God might taste death for everyone
might taste death for everyone
maybe
we don't know if he'll taste death for everyone
well then John MacArthur
he puts in bold
he has a commentary here
and he puts in bold taste death for everyone
he's going to explain what that means
everyone who believes that is
that's what he says
the death of Christ can only be applied in its efficacy
to those who come to God
asking for saving grace and forgiveness of sins
so when it says taste death for everyone
he says
it's not everyone
it's only those that believe though
the Bible says that he tasted death for every man
period
why?
his death is sufficient to pay all sin
for God to love the world
that he gave his only begotten son
the Bible makes it crystal clear that he died for everyone
I don't want a John MacArthur study Bible
to tell me how I can not believe in the Bible
go to 1 Corinthians 1
and these subtle changes
even in the New King James
it would have been a little bit harder
for him to say every man there doesn't mean every man
even though he still did it with every one
I don't know
it's not that much different
but he still said it
1 Corinthians 1
here's what would be a seemingly
subtle change to some
but then listen to how he's going to explain this verse
1 Corinthians 1
and let's read in verse 18
the Bible says
for the preaching of the cross is them that perish foolishness
but unto us which are saved is the power of God
so the Bible says when we
preach the gospel, when we preach the cross
to those that understand it
it's the power of God, it gets them saved
and notice they are saved
past tense, it's happened
because they believed in Jesus
the New King James in verse 18 says
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
he says that they are being saved
how are you being saved?
like part of you is saved but not all of you
is saved? or how are you going through
that process of salvation there?
they twist it, this is what he explains
in his commentary about this verse
being saved
every person is either in the process of salvation
though not completed
until the redemption of the body
or the process of destruction
one's response to the cross
of Christ determines which
to the Christ rejecters who are in the
process of being destroyed, the gospel is nonsense
to those who are believers
it is powerful wisdom
it's not even
powerful to get you saved, it's just
wisdom, it's just a good idea
and you're in the process, I'm not in a
process of salvation my friend, I'm saved
I've become born, you know
it's not really a process on the birth
it just comes out, you know
and it's not like I'm still in the process
of being born
that would be awkward, that would be weird
it happens in a moment of a time
okay, and then after
you've been born, you're born
hey, I've been born again
I've been sealed under the day of redemption
I'm saved
I have the Holy Ghost
you know, sealed inside my heart
there's no process here of my
salvation, and they want to twist
the Bible and turn it into something that
it's not, it's wicked, what these Bibles
do, and look, I've heard whole sermons
dedicated to the verse I just read to you
I've heard old sermons about how there's this process
of being saved, that sounds confusing doesn't it
well here's another one
let's make this manifest, this is a
wicked Bible, Matthew chapter 7
and you know what, the new King James
a lot of verses say the same as the King
James, or relatively
similar, but some of these
changes, you know, frankly just piss me off
and they're bad, they're bad translations
they're wicked, and they imply a works
based salvation, now this one is one of the
worst
Matthew chapter number 7
and let's look at verse number 14
Matthew chapter 7
look at verse number 14
the Bible says
because straight is the gate, and narrow
is the way which leadeth into life, and few there be that
find it, the Bible says that salvation
is a straight gate, meaning that it's narrow
it specifically says narrow is the way
because there's only one way to heaven, that's Jesus Christ
now, listen to what these Bibles say though
it says in verse 14 of the
new King James, which is not the
King James, because narrow
is the gate, and difficult
is the way which leads to
life, and there are few that find it
it says that it's difficult
to be saved
I don't think I've, there's nothing that I've done
that's easier than getting saved
I mean
for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
Jesus Christ likened unto
eating a piece of bread, to drinking a glass of water
you know I've never had a job where they gave me
a task that was easier
than getting saved
getting saved was so easy, it wasn't
difficult, it's not hard
it's narrow though
because there is only one way
now listen to John McArthur's
commentary on this verse
and tell me that it's just semantics
Christ continually emphasized
the difficulty of following him
salvation is by grace alone
but it is not easy
he says it's not easy
it calls for knowledge
of the truth, repentance
submission to Christ
as Lord, and a willingness
to obey his will and
word
how is that grace?
how is that faith?
he literally says you have to do everything
to get saved, that would be difficult
if I said hey
you want to get saved, do everything in this book
whoa
there's some hard stuff in there
there's some difficult stuff in there, yeah
it is hard to be a disciple of Jesus Christ
yeah it's for the few
yeah there's not many that actually care about the
Bible enough and want to serve God enough
and want to try and clean up their lives enough
you know there's so much distraction out there
with all the money and lies and smut
today and it traps people
and they get deceived by sin today
yeah I get that, but you know what, that has nothing to do
with going to heaven
going to heaven is easy, it is simple
it's just by faith in Jesus Christ
and this wicked book, and John MacArthur
is a devil, John MacArthur
is a wicked false prophet
that's going to split hell wide open
and you know what, this Bible is trash
and anybody that has a John MacArthur
anything should just burn it
it's trash, it's garbage
now I have a lot more here
I don't want to go through all of these for the sake of time
New World Translation, okay
The Jehovah's False Witness
now I like going to Psalms 148
when I talk with them, because in the King James Bible
it says whose name alone is excellent
and that kind of messes with their doctrine
I looked it up in this one, they change it to Jehovah
you know, because they have to change everything to Jehovah
this thing tells you all kinds of wicked
weird false doctrines that you have to do too
I'm not going to go, for the sake of time
you get the message, you get the picture
this one's the ERV
it's the easy to read version
yeah, it teaches you
in James chapter 2, I'll go to one real quick
for you, I know for the sake of time
you don't have to necessarily turn there, you can if you want
but in James chapter 2
listen to what this Bible does to this
passage of scripture
it says in verse 23
this shows the full meaning of the scriptures
that say, Abraham believed God
and because of this faith
he was accepted as one who is right with God
Abraham was called God's friend
so you see that people are made right with God
by what they do
they cannot be made right by faith alone
I mean, they just plain state
like it's not salvation by faith
I mean, I'm not just picking out
just random, well, it's just a message man
how about salvation?
is that important enough?
you're gonna pick a doctrine
how about salvation?
and look, there's so many other bad examples in here
here's an NIV
with a Spanish NIV
and they take out whole verses
and they corrupt so many different passages
I think there was one that I wanted to turn there
go to Philippians chapter 2
this is an egregious change in the NIV
go to Philippians chapter number 2
here's another one that just
will make you mad
if you actually care about Jesus Christ
but Philippians chapter number 2
Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians
it's gonna talk about
our Lord Jesus Christ
and how every knee's gonna bow
and every tongue's gonna confess that Jesus is Lord
but it also describes in there how Jesus Christ
you know, some of the things that he was thinking
having the mind of Christ
it says in Philippians chapter number 2
look at verse 6 in the King James Bible
who being in the form of God
thought it not robbery to be equal with God
so Jesus Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh
is negative to be compared to God
or to be worshiped as God
that's why people even worshiped him
while he was on this earth
cause he is God, ok
listen to what the NIV does to this verse
who being in very nature God
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped
it says that
he didn't think that
he could grasp
being God
he is God
there's no grasp, there's no like
I don't know if I could be God or not
he is God
that's why he even told the young rich ruler
why cause thou me good
there's none good but one that's God
so are you accepting me as God
are you accepting me as the Lord and Savior
I mean Jesus Christ accepted worship
what more can you do while you're on this earth
he is God
it's not something he thought
he didn't think he could grasp it
no, he realized he is God
in the blasphemous book
trying to attack Jesus Christ
saying that he couldn't even grasp being God
he is God
wicked stupid Bible
last one I got living Bible
this thing is just weird, I don't know
I think I had one example I wanted to go into
we'll finish with that
go if you would to
1 John 5
and this is a verse that pretty much
every Bible corrupts
1 John 5
it's so wicked
what this Bible does
it's hard to even believe
what this book does
1 John 5
in your King James Bible
says there are three that bear record in heaven
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost
and these three are one
and there are three that bear witness in the earth
the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood
and these three agree in one
talks about how there's three record bearers in heaven
there's three witnesses in the earth
this because Jesus Christ's body
went back up into heaven
the only witness on this earth is the blood that was spilt
the water that came out of him
and the Spirit of God in the King James Bible
that testifies of those things
that's our witness here
and if we went to heaven there would be three witnesses
God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ
the Word of God himself, and the Holy Ghost
and you know when those three witnesses aren't in heaven?
never, you always have them
they're always there, they're always ready to bear record
of the fact that Jesus Christ
is the savior of the gospel
his death and resurrection
great verses
teach so much great doctrine
listen to what this says
it says in the Holy Spirit forever truthful
says it too
so we have these three witnesses
the voice of the Holy Spirit in our hearts
the voice from heaven at Christ's baptism
and the voice before he died
and they all say the same thing
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God
first glance, you wouldn't even realize
you're talking about the same section of scripture
but let me point out a few problems with this
number one, it doesn't mention
the three that bear record in heaven
it completely gets rid of that
number two, it says that there's three
witnesses
let's count the three witnesses that it makes up
it says the Holy Spirit in our hearts
I mean, obviously if you're saved
you have the Holy Ghost inside you
okay, Holy Ghost, number one
number two, the voice from heaven
at Christ's baptism, who's that?
God the Father, right?
I mean, God the Father looked down
he said this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased
right?
okay, so that's number two witness
he's going to give us a third witness
can I get a witness, alright?
he says
and the voice before he died
who's that?
that's
God the Father again
so, that's two witnesses
and you know who he never mentioned?
Jesus!
he never mentions the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God
he just gets rid of him
or you have to believe in another
third witness that's like God the Father
I mean, what kind of weird
satanic garbage is coming
from these Bibles?
attacking the Trinity, attacking the Lord
Jesus Christ, ripping it out of scripture
I mean, the Bible says there's three that bear record in heaven
the Father, the Word
the Word!
where's that in this book?
it's not there
they just ruin the Bible
they blaspheme the Lord Jesus Christ
they ruin the Trinity
these things are literal trash
and the only thing that they're good for is burning
and they're not even good for food
we have a separate place for food
because we don't want the weird chemicals
and satanic spirits that are being released when we burn these
the weird demons screaming
when they get released from these books
and look, they are trash
and we want to teach our children why we use the
King James Bible
I don't want to pastor a church where
the young people think, oh, let's just use NIV
oh, let's just use the new King James
no
they're going to say, we're going to use those to burn
we're going to use those for kindling
and you know, in the Bible there's a group of people
that took some books together and they burned them because they were wicked
and we're going to fall on their footsteps
let's close in prayer
thank you Father so much for preserving your word, for giving us your word
something that's trustworthy, something that we can put our faith in
that we don't have to lean on our own understanding
but we can acknowledge you, we can acknowledge
the gift that you gave us through your son
the Lord Jesus Christ
and I pray that we would do things that are in honor
and glorifying you and your son, your word
and I pray that you could just use this bold
example to wake people up
to the truth that they could understand
the pure words of God and how important your word is
and that we don't take the word of God lightly
but rather we love the word of God
we cherish the word of God and anybody that would
tamper with it, or try to
alter it, that we would stand
in opposition against that
and I pray that you would just bless this church
that you would give us more labors and that we continue
to give you more honor and glory in Jesus' name we pray
Amen
