Amen okay so 1 Peter chapter 1 I want to focus on basically the last three
verses so from verse 23 1 Peter 1 23 which reads being born again not of
corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth
forever for all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man is a flower of
grass the grass with earth and the flower thereof full of the way but the
word of the Lord endureth forever and this is a word which by the gospel is
preached unto you and the title of my sermon today is the inspired preserved
Word of God the inspired preserved Word of God because this King James Bible is
inspired and preserved isn't it and it is the Word of God let's go to the Lord
in a quick word of prayer father I thank you for your word I thank you for the
King James Bible I thank you that you preserved it to us like you promised
please help us to just have attentive ears and our attentive hearts help us
just to strengthen us in those things which maybe we already know but just to
remind us of just that you know how amazing it is that we have your word in
English for us to be able to read and trust and in Jesus name we pray all of
this amen okay so in this church we believe that this King James Bible
contains a very inspired preserved in their own words of God don't we we don't
believe that it's just our favorite translation we don't believe that it's
just the most accurate translation we believe that it is the Word of God why
well it's pretty simple because we trust God don't we we trust God in this church
keep a finger here and turn over to Isaiah chapter 40 so the book of Isaiah
and chapter 40 and because God promised to preserve his word and when God
promises something I don't know about you but I believe him I believe God and
in 1st Peter 1 he's he's quoting Isaiah 40 from Isaiah 40 verse 6 Bible reads
the voice said cry and he said what shall I cry all flesh is grass and all
the goodliness there are thereof is as a flower of the field the grass withereth
the flower fadeth because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it surely the
people is grass the grass withereth the flower fadeth but the word of our God
shall stand forever shall stand forever that means that God's words didn't
disappear did they they didn't disappear for over a thousand years and then
suddenly fortunately get dug up that means that they will always be there
doesn't it shall stand forever no matter how many governments how many kings how
many rulers how many people have tried to ban it burn it change it destroy it
you name it it shall stand forever God said didn't he now shall stand forever
doesn't mean that they were only in the originals does it doesn't mean they were
only inspired in the originals you ever seen that on statements of faith yeah
I've seen you know I've been looking at statements of faith for many years on
different churches when trying to find Church did how many oh yeah we believe
in the inspiration in the original manuscripts okay straight away we've got
a Bible changer here no shall stand forever means that the word stands
forever doesn't it okay not just in the originals and and look we of course
there's inspiration in the original manuscripts okay we believe in Bible
inspiration here don't we turn to Hebrews chapter 1 because second
Timothy 3 16 says all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable
for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness okay
that's all scripture isn't it all scripture is given by inspiration what
is inspirational it basically means that God breathed it okay God breathed
Hebrews chapter 1 you're in a verse 1 says God who at sundry times and in
divers manners spake in time pass unto the fathers by the prophets so God spake
by the prophets yeah God spake by the prophets it was God speaking through
them so if you're back over to go back to 2nd Peter chapter 1 Hebrews 1 said
God who at sundry times spake in time pass unto the fathers by the prophets so
did they just say you know just relay what they heard as accurately as they
could no you couldn't trust some sinful man to do that just to kind of give the
general gist try and remember what he said well second Peter 1 21 sorry go to
go to 2nd Peter 1 sorry not first with the second Peter 1 and verse 21 says for
the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost so the Holy Ghost is the one moving them to say
what he wants them to say right okay it's the Holy Ghost moving them he's
controlling it turn to Acts 1 because inspiration basically means that the
words of the Bible are written by God okay the words of our Bible are written
by God Acts 1 16 and a lot of this might just be a refresher for some of you Acts
chapter 1 verse 16 we read men and brethren this scripture must needs have
been fulfilled which the now listen to this bit Holy Ghost by the mouth of
David spake before concerning Judas which was guide to them that took Jesus
so the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake so who's speaking the Holy Ghost
by the mouth of David it's not David just repeating things trying to remember
what he said he spoke by David now remember 2nd Timothy 3 16 said all
scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for
reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness and what would be the
point of God inspiring it all if it then disappeared what would be the point in
any of that if it then just disappeared more to the point why would it disappear
when God promised it wouldn't okay God clearly promised that it wouldn't so is
it just the King James Bible though that promises preservation anyone ever
wondered this it will what do the other version say well go back to Isaiah 48
40 verse 8 that is so Isaiah 40 verse 8 so I should have told you to keep a
finger there now it said the grass wither the flower faded but the word of
our God shall stand forever yeah okay all right the NIV says in Isaiah 40
verse 8 the grass with us and the flowers full but the word of our God
endures forever sounds like it's enduring it's going to stay there the
ESV says the grass withers the flower fades but the word of our God will stand
forever the New King James Bible says the grass withers the flower fades but
the word of our God stands forever now they're three of the most popular
they're three different types of modern so-called translations but you've got
basically three of the most popular false perversions because that's what
they are of the Bible claiming that God's Word will stand to endure forever
yeah so they're claiming it so considering that all of these false
Bibles are based on two manuscripts not used until the 19th century the Texas
Sinaiticus as they're known and Vaticanus so how on earth are they then
saying that it shall stand forever it makes no sense does it so where was it
standing buried somewhere in a vault in some sort of Catholic monastery or
whatever it is it doesn't make any sense does it but they're claiming it from
their Bible so it's not oh well the King James Bible says that we don't believe
in preservation well their Bible says it's going to be preserved it shall
stand forever now they will argue sometimes well it's a general word of
God you heard this before the general word of God that will stand and endure
yeah it's well it's a general meaning it doesn't have to be word perfect well
turn to Matthew 4 the overall meaning it's just you know we have an idea of
what he wanted us to think and we can help you understand that well what does
Matthew chapter 4 and verse 4 what did Jesus say when he's being tempted by the
devil but he answered and said it is written man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God Jesus said that
we need every word didn't he every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God
and again in case you're wondering the NIV says Jesus answered it is written
man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of
God the ESV says but he answered it is written man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God the New King James says
but he answers said it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by
every word that proceeds from the mouth of God so again the false perversions
agree that we need every word they agree that it was preserved that it or at least
God said that he would preserve it they agree that we need every word to live so
they agree all of this so where is it where's every word where's every word of
the Bible because they say these same people will then say it's only
inspired in the originals so how does that work now we also believe it was
inspired in the originals don't we but we also we do believe that it shall
stand forever Matthew 24 35 says heaven and earth shall pass away but my words
shall not pass away okay that's plural words not just a general feeling the
general you know gist of what he's saying my words shall not pass away so
how did God preserve his words how did he preserve it and and this is kind of a
bit of a summary of it and you could go into this a bit more if it's something
you're interested in you but I mean I suppose ultimately it does come to faith
you know when all said and done but but this is the general way it was done you
got a line of manuscripts now known as the Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic
Masoretic text yeah and the New Testament Greek Texas Receptus is what
we know as their name today so so the argument is so where are the originals
where those original manuscripts well they're long gone aren't they there's no
such thing as the original manuscripts anymore and for good reason too I mean
firstly would they have survived I mean anyone got any books past sort of a
hundred plus years old and they they're not in too good condition even if you
never open them I actually I inherited a load of kind of just old books I felt
I just didn't want to be in you kind of think they must be worth something
they're not worth anything you know it's really hard to bend these things you
know so I got quite a lot of different books and they're falling apart you know
and we don't even touch them and they're falling apart they're falling apart more
the more you know even if you just kind of glance it looks like it's gonna
collapse yeah and that's that's generally what happens but could you
imagine if there was somehow someone had find a way of preserving there was an
original manuscript can you imagine that the pilgrimages to wherever it was
a worship of that manuscript it wouldn't be all that that because it's the Word
of God it's because it's the original manuscript okay so obviously not
preserved in that way but it was God who ordained the principle of making copies
so it's actually God that ordained that of his exact words so if you turn to
Deuteronomy 17 where God is giving instructions for when they set a king
over them so of course he's you know we see many times the Bible him telling
them telling them to write down the words but here he's talked about copying
Deuteronomy chapter 17 and verse 18 talking about when a future king he says
and it shall be when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom that he shall
write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests
the Levi's and it shall be with him and he shall read therein all the days of
his life notice that's all the days of his life not you know I will take take a
day off now and again all the days of his life that he may learn to fear the
Lord is God to keep all the words of this law and these statutes to do them
that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren and that he turn not aside
from the commandment to the right hand or to the left to the end that he may
prolong his days in his kingdom he and his children in the midst of Israel so
that's not just a general copy is it okay that's not well you know the king
needs to just write down a few few of his favorite bits he just needs to put
it in his own words know that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book
then it's talking about him keeping all the words of this law okay and that's
back in Deuteronomy telling telling basically then for a future king to make
copies of the Word of God and then we see an example of this in Proverbs you
don't have to turn there Proverbs 25 one which says these are also Proverbs of
Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out okay so that's the
king there that's the king Hezekiah basically getting his men to copy the
words of Solomon okay so again that's copying the words of the Bible and this
copying by the priesthood and scribes basically continued and continued and
continued so to the point when two different comparisons of several hundred
Masoretic texts were done back in the eighth in the 18th century they all
basically agreed with each other okay so that's just continued with people being
just really strict on making sure every single word is copy copy copy copy and
that's how the Word of God was preserved in the Old Testament now that's the same
way basically that it worked with the Greek New Testament as well so turn the
second Peter 3 where we see Peter describing Paul's epistles of scripture
and just just to give you a little introduction as as how that started with
these writings because the Greek New Testament as well ended up being copied
and second Peter chapter 3 and verse 15 it says an account that the long
suffering of our Lord is salvation even as our beloved brother Paul
also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you as also in all
his epistles speaking in them of these things and which are some things hard to
be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable rest as they do
also the other scriptures unto their own destruction so that's Peter calling
Paul's epistles scriptures see that there that's Peter calling Paul's
epistles scripture because there are many that try and cloud Paul's writings
now Paul like went off on a tangent Paul you know especially like this sort of
Judeo-Isa types who are quite upset with Galatians and other books of the New
Testament well basically the rest of the 27 books well we're pretty much
unanimously agreed on by the early churches okay it wasn't oh well there's
still you know they're arguing about which books to add or not because God's
hand was clearly upon it and eventually we had what was known as the New
Testament okay with that agreed 27 books now these these manuscripts were also
copied okay copied and can be traced back to the church at Antioch where
you don't have to turn to where the Bible says in Acts 11 26 and the
disciples were were called Christians first in Antioch okay and that's you
know in comparison to the Alexandrian text which Alexandria isn't where where
people were first called Christians we get a different vibe from from
Alexandria but we're not going to go into that for now now so these were
known as a traditional text okay these copied manuscripts and eventually after
first being printed in 1516 remember this was all hand-copied after first
being printed 1516 they were then known as a Texas Receptus or received text
okay from 1516 after the first printing and there were a couple more prints done
of that now it was this Hebrew Masoretic text in the Greek Texas Receptus that
all of the previous English Bibles were translated from okay it wasn't oh well
there was one from this no they were all this was just the accepted the received
text okay the that that was what people used that was the Bible there wasn't
really any debate about that now these men were then so what happened is sorry
on 22nd of July 1604 King James of England announced that he appointed 54
Hebrew and Greek scholars to produce a Bible which we know today obviously is
the King James authorized version okay now it started with 54 end up being 47
in the end and some actually died during it and and there was other reasons why
it was whittled down but 47 men translated the King James Bible and
and there's been nothing like it since and it was nothing like it before I mean
this was just an unbelievable work that the minds the men that did this as well
were unparalleled and still are to this day now now I've heard it described as
this in in back in you know the 1600s when the the great sort of intellects of
the day chose to do something at University or you know for higher
learning whereas nowadays they might go into some of the you know nuclear
physics or whatever it is or you know all these kind of other other vocations
there was a lot of the time it's the classics you know people were just you
know those mines that ability especially for translation everything else there
were men there that knew like over 20 languages I mean and could speak them
fluently and write them fluently they were just there were some amazing people
now now here's the thing people look at well were they even saved were they
baby sprinklers or it doesn't matter does it God God had his hand upon this
this was unparalleled this this was amazing what he did here and that that's
the thing is it they just did a hundred percent accurate translation okay now
they were organized into six groups and this is how they did it as well which
you won't see with modern Bibles here they were organized into six groups
which were to meet separately okay so two groups met at Cambridge to at
Oxford to at Westminster then they were basically designated a certain portion
of script to translate into the English language each group now each scholar
first made his own translation then pass it on to be reviewed by each other
member of his group when each section of complete a book of the Bible is sent to
the other five groups for their independent criticism as well in this
way each book went through the hands of the entire body of translators now again
if you look in comparison and you look at maybe how how one of the modern
Bibles is done you'll have like a couple of people working on one part and a
couple of people on the other but this has gone through everyone this was that
and they if you've ever anyone ever read the the dedicatory at the beginning of
the King James Bible okay and and they have a real reverence for the Word of
God and a fear of making one error a real fear and no wonder when and we're
going to see some of the passages why now seven years after this and by the
way when they have these translation committees doing these new Bibles
they'll meet up you know once a month and stuff over a period of time they'll
meet a certain amount of months these guys were just full-time at this seven
years seven years later in 1611 the King James Bible was completed and by the way
they did have access to every resource around they had access to every text
King James basically gave them access to everything they needed and and it was
there was no stone unturned so it wasn't at all well they just didn't have this
great you know perverted text which just you know which doesn't agree with
anything else no they had access to everything but their Bible was was based
on the Greek Texas for Septus and the Hebrew Masoretic now like I said these
were men of unparalleled skill in in in basically translation and everything
else and they even when they did this I was reading about they say even put it
up to be reviewed by just men in the land any anyone could review their work
and have a look at what they were doing while it was going on as well so there
were you know people in churches all over England who were welcome to have a
look and and give their opinion on certain translation of things as well so
people that that spoke other language as well so it wasn't just a secret thing
where they just secretly did it and it made their own start no they wanted it
to be the best the most accurate translation they could they took it
seriously and for me and and I hope this is getting across to you there's no
doubt that God used the King of England and these men to preserve his word okay
there's no doubt at all and because as well to translate into the language
which was to become the number one language in the world wasn't it that was
to become the language which is known everywhere in the world yeah it might
not be you know oh as a first light like most people will have English to some
degree as some sort of second and third language yeah okay let alone the amount
of people that do speak it as a first language and and what an expressive
language as well I know if you you know anyone learn different languages I mean
English is hard to learn for people that as a second language because of the
amount of words of the rich vocabulary the way you could pretty much say
anything in English can't you there are enough words to do it the trick is
learning all those words isn't it and for us as native speakers it's hard to
know every word let alone for people that learns a second language but but
it's such a rich language what a great language to be able to translate the
Word of God into accurately okay so this so this preserved Word of God has then
gone throughout the world since hasn't it okay so it's gone it's gone you know
it's gone to the furthest corners of the world and you know English English
speaking men of God have gone over all the world with this King James Bible and
we could see the fruit of that can't we as well with this King James Bible since
611 and there was no real it wasn't like oh well this was our favorite you know
within a short amount of time that was the Bible wasn't it that was a Bible the
King James Bible why is it so important then why is it so important because some
some people go well they sound pretty similar well you know I've just read
you some verses in it they said pretty much the same thing didn't they so why
is it such an important why is why do we find it so important that it's a King
James Bible and only the King James Bible that that we read that we preach
from that we go out and preach the gospel well go back to 1st Peter 1 of
1st Peter chapter 1 it's important because number one it's the difference
between heaven and hell okay it's the difference between heaven and hell 1st
Peter chapter 1 and we saw from verse 23 where it said being born again not of
corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of God which liveth and
abideth forever it says in verse 25 and this is a word which by the gospel is
preached unto you verse 23 says that we aren't born of corruptible seed doesn't
it so if the corruptible seed is the sorry if the incorruptible seed is the
word of God what's the corruptible seed what's the corruptible seed what's he
comparing it to here not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible it's a
corrupted word of God isn't it the corrupted word of God turn a second
Corinthians chapter 2 because ever since the Garden of Eden Satan and his minions
have been questioning changing adding to taking away from God's Word okay ever
since 2nd Corinthians 2 17 the Bible reads for we are not as many which
corrupt the Word of God but as of sincerity but as of God in the sight of
God speak we in Christ when Paul wrote 2nd Corinthians there were already many
many that were corrupting the Word of God and that has only continued isn't it
to now where we have if you include revisions often say to people about 400
versions if you include all the different revisions it's over 900 900
different versions and revisions in English so if God promised that it would
stand or abide forever which he clearly did that we needed every word which one
is it 900 different versions of revisions so what on earth you might sit
here and maybe not I think most people here probably get this but you might sit
here and think over 900 revisions what why why are there 900 revisions for the
love of money isn't it filthy Luca okay it's one thing corrupting and giving us
you know some different different versions make it confusing it's another
to just keep doing revision after revision after revision because they
change it enough to copyright it again to sell it yeah it's all about money
isn't it see they have to have don't they a few percent difference to be able
to copyright it again and I think that changes depending on where you are but
and basically they're all marketed aren't they they're marketed as easy to
read as a bed of this so that you've seen you might have seen adverts to some
of these before and sold and the publisher gets their palm greased with
silver every time they're sold okay and apart from one one Bible that has no
copyright guess what that's called King James Bible no copyright no no issue
reprinting you can just go and print it if you want and sell it if you want you
don't have to grease anyone's palm with silver the King James Bible isn't that a
coincidence how's it they're different so between
heaven and hell so how's it difference between heaven and hell well if we're
born again of incorruptible seed the Word of God there can't be X amount of
versions all saying something different so take John 3 16 for example okay we
all know that versa you can turn if you want I'm sure you know off by heart for
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish by everlasting life he gave his only
begotten son the NIV says for God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
hear that his one and only son the ESV says for God so loved the world that he
gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life is that a true statement it's false it's false it's corrupted
it's false because you look at that and you look at you know John 1 12 and to
them gave you power to become the sons of God even to them that believe in his
name you're all the children God by faith in Christ Jesus and you look at
verses like that and you just think well that doesn't make sense that's a lie
that's false that's wrong isn't it so that's corruptible seed now you say well
it's not a big deal it well it is a big deal isn't it that's a massive deal okay
his only begotten son the only one begotten from the dead okay that's Jesus
Christ now how about Romans 10 9 I think most people here probably like to go to
Romans 10 9 when they're preaching the gospel to people the NIV says because as
we know that you know the KJV says if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God is raised from dead thou
shalt be saved the NIV says if you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be
saved the ESV says because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised from the dead you will be saved
sounds a bit like you're willing to make him Lord of your life doesn't it doesn't
that when you see that if you confess it Jesus is Lord you're willing to you know
to turn from your sin maybe you're willing to make him Lord your life
you're willing to do whatever it is they think you should do whatever someone's
telling you you need to do if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord
that's not what the Bible says is it and that again that's corruptible seed
isn't it that's corruptible seed that just just starts to make you think it's
something else for salvation doesn't it now we'll look at the more subtle New
King James Bible in a minute because it doesn't actually change those verses
there but these corrupt manuscript to modern perversions based on them love to
attack the deity of Christ as well okay so it's not just salvation they attack
many many doctrines of the Bible turn of 1st Timothy 3 16 the deity of Christ
is one of them no wonder they're favored by the Jehovah's false witnesses and
many others 1st Timothy 3 16 a famous verse says and without controversy great
is a 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 into glory who was manifest in the flesh God the NIV says beyond all
question the mystery from which true godliness Springs grace so hard to read
everyone ever tried to read it it's like you start to like get garbled trying to
read it he appeared in the flesh he who's he he appeared in the flesh so
beyond the question mystery from which true godliness Springs is great he
appeared in the flesh was vindicated by the spirit was seen by angels was
preached among the nations was believed on in the world was taken up in glory
the ESV says great indeed we confess is a mystery of godliness he was
manifested in the flesh vindicated by the spirit seen by angels proclaimed
among the nations believed on in the world taken up in glory so the NIV and
ESV reduce it from God to he yeah from God to he but you know that's just a
precursor to what they do to 1st John 5 7 so turn to 1st John chapter 5 and verse
7 again a famous verse in the Bible for there are three that bear record in
heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one now verse
8 then contrasts with verse where it says and there are three that bear
witness in earth the spirit and the water and the blood and these three
agree and one okay what does the NIV do here the NIV says verse 7 yeah have a
look down at your King James Bibles the NIV says for verse 7 for there are three
that testify okay that's the end of verse 7 then verse 8 says the spirit the
water and the blood and these three are in agreement they've just cut it out cut
it out maybe it was a pen knife like in Jeremiah 36 they've just removed the
Trinity the ESV does the same look at so again look down again ESV verse 7 for
there are three that testify that's the end of verse 7 colon verse 8 the spirit
and the water and the blood and these three agree how wicked is that let's
just cut out the Trinity out of the Bible just cut it out and this is just a
small selection of the wickedness of these so-called Bibles and look you
could spend you could do a sermon series on this couldn't you could be interesting
but you could do a series I'm not going to go into loads and loads and loads of
them if you if you want to know them that many people have done many great
lists of this stuff it's very easy to find and pretty easy to check
considering all these Bibles online you don't you have to go and spend your
harder money on this sort of filth but the New King James though is a bit more
subtle okay so because there are different levels depending on how far
you want to defile yourself okay so the New King James is kind of a way of just
going somewhere in between you know maybe people that are saved and maybe
just think a little bit more about this so you can go to the salvation verse and
they look pretty similar okay but turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 1 and verse
18 1st Corinthians 1 18 okay the King James Bible reads for the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved
it is the power of God what does the New King James say 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 the New King James Bible is calling it a process it's
calling getting saved a process of being saved you are being saved how are you
being saved maybe that was an accident maybe that was just a one-off the New
King James you know these men are fallible aren't they well turn over to
2nd Corinthians in chapter 2 2nd Corinthians 2 and verse 15 where the
King James Bible reads for we are unto God a sweet Savior of Christ in them
that are saved and in them that perish the New King James version says for we
are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and
among those who are perishing so again being saved so no accident the New King
James is calling salvation a process isn't it calling a salvation approach
even though verse after verse after verse in the Bible makes it clear it's a
one-time deal it's a one-time deal very very I simply he that believe for me
have everlasting life okay how diff how difficult is that it have everlasting
life you know he that believes on me had everlasting life and shall not come
into condemnation but is passed from death unto life that's a one-time deal
isn't it you pass from death unto life when you believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ salvation and look the these Bibles are wicked aren't they and the
New King James is subtly wicked okay it's a lot more subtle about it and by
the way that's the same in both the NIV and ESV and I got sick of it after that
and again look for sake of time this is just a small small section of many many
clear corruptions yeah in fear the most common Bible perversions but look
they're full of it and look you could go you could start reading junk like the
message yeah anyone anyone ever seen that before wow I read a little bit to
my daughter the other day and she was pretty was it last night and she was
yeah pretty pretty amazed by it but look it's important because it is a
difference between heaven and hell isn't it so how if we're born of born
again of incorruptible seed this corruptible seed ain't getting you saved
is it it's not getting you saved but number two it's a difference between
walking and stumbling as well so as a saved Christian it's a difference
between walking and stumbling because again you have to turn a bit if Psalms
190 105 says thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path without
the word with a fake lamp we're in trouble aren't we you're in trouble
without that stumbling around with it with a lamp that doesn't work in the
dark you're gonna get yourself in trouble aren't you okay turn to Genesis
3 will I read John 17 17 it's it's a light unto our feet sorry lamp unto our
feet and a light unto our path John 17 17 says sanctify them through thy truth
thy word is truth so we're cleansed purified made holy through the truth
yeah through the truth God's Word is the truth isn't it but there can only be one
truth by definition can't there there's only one truth in anything you know
anything you look at there's one truth Jesus Christ is the truth isn't it I am
the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me
there's only one way isn't there Jesus Christ there's only one Word of God and
that Word of God is truth okay if it's the truth there's only one way if it's
not the truth what's it gonna do if it's not the truth and we're sanctified
through it sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth it sounds like
you're gonna get dirty you're gonna get filthy look at Genesis chapter 3 okay
Genesis chapter 3 and verse 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 yay hath God
said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden so what's the first thing the
devil does in the Bible questions God's Word yeah questions God's Word questions
the Holy Word questions what God has said and we see that to this day don't
we did God really say that or maybe the King James Bible is wrong maybe they got
it wrong maybe this one maybe that one's wrong oh well I'm not I'm not so sure
I've been at churches where where they'll literally stand up and go well
the NIV says this the ESV says this the RSV says that but the I'm trying to
think of another one here the NLT renders it correct here and you're
looking at this guy you know you don't even speak Greek yeah what are you
talking about yeah and they're literally standing there trying to make everyone
think you know that they are some sort of you know real linguist you know a
real scholar of the languages and then you look around and you see that your
people are just going wow what a what a man you know what a pastor thank God
that we got a pastor that's got a lexicon yeah and it's decided what God
has said but but they're questioning did he really say that did he really say it
like that do you really say that well look at verse 2 then and the woman said
unto the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden but of the
fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said you shall not
eat of it neither shall you touch it lest ye die and the serpent said unto
the woman ye shall not surely die so first he questions it then what comes
next the outright lie so it starts with questioning the word of God putting
doubt did he really say that are you sure what he really said that it's like
no he said this and it's a lie it's a lie isn't it he says he says ye shall
not surely die for God doth know that in the day ye thereof then your eyes shall
be opened and you shall be as gods knowing good and evil come read our
easier to read version you'll know much more then yeah you'll be as God's you
all know the different you know will help you understand God's Word more than
everyone else those guys are archaic King James you'll know it better with
our easier to read version you shall be as gods knowing good and evil and like I
said I've been in churches where they do that but I've also been in in a church
which claimed to be King James only which was more you know you can put you
see these sometimes if you ever looked at these kind of searches for King James
churches and I have like King James is inspired or King James is preserved or
King James and this would be what you call King James preferred because they'll
say well with Texas for Septus men yeah well what do they what did he mean well
what he meant by that is that when he preaches he will then just when he
doesn't like something just correct and say the King James translators got that
wrong who are you a guy doesn't speak another language let alone Greek or
Hebrew but he'll standing up there saying no well this you know they
basically they copped out here on immersion and they they went for you
know baptized instead and blah blah blah sorry who are you but but and this is
what these guys do and that goes on and what what's that doing that's basically
saying yea have God said isn't it yea have God said because the pastor wants
to make himself appear to be cleverer make himself appeared basically make
himself the final authority instead of God's Word and why does someone want to
do that because they're not preaching the word accurately are they yeah so
then they become the final authority and people will only listen to them and
said the Word of God instead of going I'm going but the Bible said something a
bit different well he must understand it more because he understands when the
King James Bible translates they got it wrong it's wicked isn't it isn't that
wicked and that's more subtle it is it's disgusting because it's a more subtle
wickedness isn't it because you go there think well this is the King James Church
but no no they just King James preferred I think is what they call it okay so
you've got here the first time in the Bible and first they're important aren't
they and the first time we ever see the devil he's questioning God's Word then
he's lying about God's Word okay and that's a tactic which has continued
isn't it continued throughout time now what happens then is you like I said you
have instead of thus saith the Lord you have thus saith the pastor okay which
obviously is not a situation you want to get into but when it's when it's basically
questioning the Word of God or basically in their version this is what
the pastor says and this is what you have in these because none of them are
claiming that their Bible is a preserved inspired Word of God in all these false
versions and are they they're standing there and just going well you know and
they're changed little bits and go to another version on this and go to oh we
prefer this one but we also we welcome all but old Bible versions into our
church even though they all say something different absolutely crazy
isn't it but but this is on top of the fact that these Bible perversions we can
sin so not only is then you've got this situation where the pastor himself is
choosing but the versions themselves they we can sin they we can doctrine they
lie they remove multiple verses and look you might sit here thinking well they're
all unsaved anyway but they're not that's the thing is now yeah okay we're
kind of many years down the line from how much this has been pushed it there's
probably a lot less saved people because obviously they're not getting saved by
anything other than the Word of God the King James Bible but there are still to
this day there and they're still churches that are still getting their
heads turned and going to the New King James or going to something else but
but maybe there are people in there that already saved and look just because
you're saved doesn't mean you're just automatically gonna just write that's it
I'm off yeah but you know my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow
me but there are many reasons people stay in in false churches in weak
churches in churches with false Bibles there are many reasons people do that
and there are saved Christians that have been polluted that have been made
filthy by these false versions aren't there it's weak in them there are people
that still to this day sadly they're hopefully not but people amongst us
amongst our type of people that will still go online and then start reading
commentaries and essays and and and or listening to preaching by people with
false Bibles full spider why do you want to listen to that junk for what you
read that junk for is junk it's rubbish it's a lie it's filthy and it will
filthy you it will make you dirty as well how much sin do you think these
people are getting out of their lives you think they're walking right or do
you think they're stumbling I'd say they're stumbling how much are they
doing for God with a false Bible version I would say much less than they would be
with a real Bible version they're stumbling around in the dark with a
broken torch aren't they they're stumbling around now turn to Psalm 12
because you can't talk about Bible preservation without Psalm 12 can you
probably thinking where's Psalm 12 what's this guy doing sort of an
amateur is he well let's have a look at Psalm 12 I'll start from the beginning
Psalm 12 because I think it all kind of you know in a way you can see all of it
in there Psalm 12 and from verse 1 reads help Lord for the godly man ceaseth for
the faithful fail from among the children of men that's the result of
fake Bibles isn't it and the godly man ceaseth with a corrupted Word of God they
speak vanity every one with his neighbor with flattering lips and with a
double heart do they speak now that's your wannabe scholar liberal wet
blanket Christian isn't it speaking vanity with his neighbor with
flattering lips and with a double heart they they're trying to make out like
they're so intellectual they've studied the Word of God but really really it's a
double heart isn't it they just want to sound clever they want to they want to
lift themselves up it's all about promoting themselves and if you've been
at these churches spoke to these people where they seem to think they're some
sort of self-styled scholar themselves I mean these guys it they're wicked verse
3 the Lord shall cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaketh proud
things because there's a lot of pride coming from these self-styled
intellectuals isn't there it's all pride who have said with our tongue will we
prevail our lips are our own who is Lord over us yeah basically we decide what
God says yeah our lips are our own who is Lord over us we'll tell you what the
Bible really means we'll tell you what the Bible should say verse 5 for the
oppression of the poor for the sighing of the needy now will I arise saith the
Lord I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him a lot of money in
this false translation game by the way now verse 6 the word words of the Lord
are pure words as silver tried in the furnace of earth purified seven times
thou shalt keep them Oh Lord thou shalt preserve them from this generation
forever only inspired in the originals buried in a Catholic vault for over a
thousand years hidden in a cave by the Dead Sea for nearly 2,000 years or did
he say thou shalt keep them Oh Lord thou shalt preserve them from this
generation forever then verse 8 the wicked walk on every side when the
vilest men are exalted and these are vile men okay make no mistake about it
these men that are getting exalted as some sort of Bible experts these Bible
scholars these these people on these new translation committees he's a vile men
okay and they're being exalted aren't they they're being exalted above the
Word of God they can help you understand they'll help you know what God should
you know what he really meant what you should have understood by it he's a vile
men says the wicked increase on every side when the vilest men are
exalted so when these people are exalted when these you know archaeological types
who seem to think that they found something better and you know they've
studied it more and they understand it more well then the wicked increase as
well and you get more and more wicked people because you get less trust in
the Word of God you get less the Word of God which we are seeing aren't we I mean
a lot of these churches okay there might be there might be false churches a lot
of them but there was still the Word of God out there now what's left in it you
ever look for King James Church in this country it just seems less and less
every time doesn't it and that's dropped a lot because it wasn't like that this
is a country where the King James Bible was written where it went out from and
you get to a point it's hard to find a church that uses one unbelievable isn't
it but these are vile men they are vile turn to Revelation chapter 22 because
like I said like Jehoiakim cutting out pages and burning them in in Jeremiah
36 these vile men are adding and removing what they don't like from God's
Word even though Matthew 5 18 says 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 okay that's like you know basically like the dot on an eye you
know none of that is passing let alone just changing what let alone taking out
whole verses revelation 22 verse 18 is a warning isn't it for I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book if any man shall
add unto these things God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
book and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the
holy city and from the things which are written in this book why they the
vilest of men because what are they when they do this when they do this they're
there he says exactly God shall take away his part out of the book of life
that's it they're done they're unsaved reprobates they cannot be saved so what
does that mean that they're given over to a reprobate mind these are the
vilest of men yeah the vilest of men and the result of these vile men taking out
verses just butchering the Word of God just messing with the book which is what
they're doing aren't they missing with the word I mean you've got to be
something haven't you to just be messing with the book like that just
taking out what you don't like changing words promoting it I mean that is evil
isn't it that's wicked when you know you know that salvation comes from the Word
of God you know that that to be able to strengthen those that are saved to go
out and preach the Word of God to live right to be holy we saw in that in 1st
Peter chapter 1 where we were to be holy fire I'm holy to be you need the Word of
God don't you yes sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth yeah that's
how we're clean that's how we're made holy and these people are wicked they're
evil and the result is a load of watered-down Christians yeah the ones
that are saved watered down with watered-down morals making it up as
they go along deciding being the final authority themselves or making their you
know their their one term of Greek pastor the final authority stumbling
around instead of walking in the truth that's what they're doing aren't they
stumbling around you meet these people you come across these ones that are
saved that are still using a false version and and they're just stumbling
around aren't they stumbling around just don't even know where they're going
they're this the blind leading the blind but we're so blessed aren't we to have
this King James Bible aren't we blessed to have this you know we're you know we
I think we take it for granted can't we that you got in front of you got the the
pure words of God the pure words of God preserved for you preserved forever that
we know will always be able to have that we can access that we have that we can
read we can learn from we could just get joy from as well can't we because it's
not just oh it's just gonna it's gonna make me that better but it's just the
joy of reading it isn't there just a richness in it just so you know there's
such depth in the Word of God and we have that we've had it preserved we had
it given to us yet people say people still choose or at least get conned by
that easy to read lie or whatever else it is a better oh well it will help you
understand it more I saw some someone of these adverts recently about you know
that it's being worked on by Jewish scholars Wow the literal enemies of God
you know but look we're blessed aren't we're blessed but if we have the King
you can't you know and I know we've been talking about this through the Gospel of
John a bit but you can't preach on the King James Bible without making the
obvious point yeah we have the Word of God we have the
preserved Word of God in our hands let's make sure we're reading a let's make
sure everyone in this church everyone watching online every single person is
putting their putting the time into reading something that was
painstakingly preserved for us yeah people were burnt at the stake you know
for attempting to translate this Bible into English for us yeah the devil has
tried his best he's tried many ways more recently now that it's these false
Bible versions which are trying to pull people away but it will be banned again
won't it it is in many countries it will be here at some point least they're
gonna make it harder they're claiming it's hate speech aren't they but we
still have it don't we we have the Word of God let's let's well while it's so
easy to have it as well let's enjoy let's read it let's study it let's make
sure that we're meditating on it day and night yeah and and we have the Word
of God and what an amazing what it is you have to turn it but Psalm 119 verse
140 says thy word is very pure therefore thy servant loveth it I know about you
but I love the King James Bible on that let's pray Father I thank you for your
word I thank you for this King James Bible I thank you for preserving your
word like you promised to do so it shouldn't be any surprise to us but
sadly it is to so many people around the world that you preserved your word that
we have that here in English in the King James Bible and I thank you for that
thank you for this church thank you for a lot of people here that love your word
that love the King James Bible help us to to carry on loving it you know to put
that into practice by by reading it daily by meditating on it but by make
sure we're just in your word we're immersed in your word and help us to go
