All Scripture (AV 1611 KJV)
As we look, the word rapture isn’t found in the Holy Bible. It is an added word in Christian thought that has almost found it’s way into scripture. The heart of the pretribulational rapture is 1 Thess. 4:16-17. They teach that the dead and living in Christ will be resurrected and caught up, to be with the Lord seven years before the end of the tribulation, when in reality this is the end of the world or the last day. Their entire system focuses on this and all time lines follow it. If this resurrection and catching up is falsely timed, their entire system “FALLS”! There is no need to argue any further, we will let scripture reveal the truth.
Matt 13: 24-30 - the parable of the wheat and the tares
Matt 13:28-29 shows how the servants wanted to gather the tares and remove them. Matt 13:30 shows how the wheat/Christian and tares/non-Christians “will grow together until the time of harvest.” Matt 13:39 shows the harvest to be “the end of the world” not seven years before the end of anything! The saved and unsaved will be in the world until the last day, or end of this world. Matt 13:37-43 explains the entire parable. This same separation and resurrection of saved and unsaved is seen in John 5:28-29. There will be two resurrections here - first the saved, second the unsaved. This happens at the same time. John 6:39-40 and John 11:24 shows the timing of the resurrections to be the “last day”. The believer will go through the tribulation then be caught up with the resurrected dead in Christ at the last day to be with the Lord forever. 1 Cor 15:52 - This will happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the “last trump.”
This last trump is seldom talked about in pretribulational teaching, and is fully explained in Rev 10:6-7. This shows “time no longer” at the voice of the angel. At the trump of God eternity begins, the mystery of God is finished.
In Rev 10:6, the new bibles change. The “KJV” says time no longer to no longer delay. Changing prophetic time lines, the world never ends here. Rev 11:15 shows how the Lord’s kingdom is established for eternity. Satan's kingdom is gone! The Holy New Jerusalem begins in Rev 21 -- the Holy city prepared as a bride coming down from God for eternity, for all the saved believers!
Prior to the last day the Christian will be divinely protected by the Lord Jesus. The Israelites were protected as the plagues fell upon the Egyptians, and this will be the same case during the tribulation. Many are chained to this false teaching by “fear”of the tribulation. They are taught if the Christian were present, that the plagues and wrath would fall on them -- “wrong”!
Many say the majority believe the rapture, but the majority has never been right. Narrow is the way!
Remember the wheat and tares grow together until the harvest “The harvest is the end of this world,” “the last trump,” “time no longer,” “the last day.”
“ DIVINE PROTECTION BY JESUS”
Those that teach the rapture breed fear. You can’t be here during the tribulation, the Lord pours plagues and wrath out. Remember Egypt, the Lord brought plagues and they were isolated to the Egyptians. The Israelites were protected, and this will be the case during the tribulation. The plagues will fall on the world or Satan's kingdom. Those saved that are sealed by the Holy Spirit won’t be hurt.
Several plagues fell upon the Egyptians before the Lord provided for them to leave pharaoh’s camp. In Ex 9:20, those Egyptians that put their cattle and servants in from the fields were spared death, because “they feared the word of the Lord”. We see this same call to fear in Rev 14:6-10. The everlasting gospel is ready to be preached and He gives a call to fear God, and give glory to him. This is prior to the hour of judgment, as the Lord is merciful.
Rev 3:10 “I also shall keep thee from the hour of temptation”
Rev 14:8 shows how Babylon has fallen this same account can be seen in Rev 18:1-24. She will be burnt with fire before the world, and the kings of the earth “will fear”! Rev 18:4 shows how the Lord has given a call of mercy to come out of her (the whore), that they receive not of “her plagues.” This is not intended for the Christian. A large focus is on repentance bringing one to repent -- these words are used twelve times in the book of Revelation.
Rev16:15 the church is seen here close to the final battle the Lord says watch!
“The seal of protection”
All Christians are sealed by the Holy Spirit. This is seen in Eph 1:13, “ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,” and Eph 4:30 “ye are sealed unto the day of redemption”.
Rev 7:2-3 shows the 144,000 “added” to the church. They are sealed by the Holy Spirit. The angel won’t hurt the earth until the 144,000 have been “added” to the church to help preach the gospel. Rev 22:4 shows the name of the Lord is in the forehead of his servants the saved. This is not a physical mark - it is spiritual.. the Lord Jesus knows his sheep.
Rev 9:1-4 we see the bottomless pit or hell opened; the evil that is released is “commanded” not to hurt the grass, trees or any green thing, only those that “have not the seal of God”. Jesus protects the food and all the sealed Christians (“thank you Lord Jesus”). God is in charge not the antichrist.
Rev 13:5 - the antichrist will be given 42 months. Rev 11:2 - this 42 months will be in Jerusalem.
Rev 11:3 - the two witnesses will be given power by the Lord, they will prophesy 1,260 days. This is the same time as the 42 months standing against the antichrist day for day just like in Egypt against pharaoh. “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies:” Unbelievable!
Matt 28:18 - Jesus has “all” power. Rev 11:6 - plagues, no rain, water to blood, all plagues as often as they will! And they will be representing the Lord Jesus Christ. Question? Would you have been afraid to have been an Israelite when the plagues fell upon Egypt “NO”! The two witnesses are hidden from view.
When discussing the tribulation with most teachers of this system, they say it's going to be a 100% Jesus controlled 42 months and the sealed Christians will be protected! When the Lord reveals his power through the two witnesses, the Christian’s mustard seed of faith will grow real quick. These plagues are brought to bring repentance, though many won’t repent of their evil this as is seen in Rev 9:20-21.
A major point of their fear teaching is Rev 13:8-18. They try to lead one to believe that all people on earth will have to receive the mark, or worship the image or be killed. “wrong”! Rev 13:15 - this verse says if you don’t worship you “should” be killed, it doesn’t say “shall”! Just as king Nebuchadnezzar wanted to see the three burn in the fiery furnace - “didn’t happen”! Daniel die in the lions den? “not so”! those that moved against him did. Was David defeated by Goliath? “good try”! Moses and Aaron lost to Satan, the god of pharaoh? “hardly”! Peter held in the inner prison? “not for long.” Remember what your brethren the angels did for Peter!
Rev 13:17 - and that no man “might” buy or sell. It doesn’t say they “shall not” buy! This truth is kept quiet, and the wording here isn’t definite, “the Lord Jesus is in control”! The sealed Christian will be protected through the tribulation, and will be caught up with the resurrected dead in Christ at the last day, prior to God’s fiery wrath being poured out upon the heavens and earth, dissolving all the elements seen in 2 Pet 3:10-13. Then it will be a new heaven and earth seen in Rev 21. The Holy new Jerusalem is for eternity, for all the saved believers. “JESUS CHRIST IS LORD”
Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks or 490 years? The truth.
Many persons are taught that the interpretation of the seventy weeks of Daniel really means weeks of years by using a formula of 70x7 = 490 years. They teach that the word week in Dan 9:27 really means seven years by following this formula, this word week representing their false seven year tribulation, this seven year fairy tale found no place in the Holy Bible.
Where did this secret formula come from? That isn’t apparent to the average reader of the Holy Scripture. Have the learned translators of the AV 1611 KJV misinterpreted or missed the truth? The first written mention of this formula and its origin is found in a book written by Sir Isaac Newton. “Observations upon the prophecies of Daniel and the apocalypse of St John” published in 1723. In Chapter ten of this book you find the first mention of this formula and his teaching surrounding it. Much of this in use today, Newton being the foundational roots. In this book Newton removes and changes Scripture at will. Newton also wrote books that deny 1 Timothy 3:16 and 1 John 5:7, attacking the deity of Jesus Christ. This clearly shows a non-Christian foundation. Matthew 7:18 - A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Newton was a brilliant man in the worlds eyes “but” the study of his life finds him no friend of Biblical Christianity, with the aforementioned showing just a “few” points of his clouded life.
The truth revealed (shabuwa)
This Hebrew word shabuwa was translated to 'weeks' in the English language and used fifteen times in the old testament. It was used six times in the book of Daniel, four times in Daniel 9:24-26 all pertaining to Newton’s false teaching of weeks of years. This same word shabuwa was used two times in Daniel 10:2-3. As you read these verses, Daniel states he mourned and fasted for “three whole weeks.” Shall we apply Newton’s formula to shabuwa in this application 3x7 = 21 years? Daniel was a Biblical hero full of faith, but he would have been a pretty hungry hero after twenty one years with no food. This is explained well here, as it was a “literal” three whole weeks, just as Daniel 9:24 is a “literal” seventy weeks! Next time they try to push Newtonian doctrine on you ask them did Daniel mourn and fast for three weeks or twenty one years, the same word is used shabuwa.
THE MILLENNIUM “NOW” OR LATER?
Many persons teach that Rev 20 will be a future event of a kingdom, bringing peace on earth for a thousand years, happening after the time of great tribulation. When we look at Rev 20, the teachers bring a word into thought that isn’t in the Holy Bible - “millennium.” They use this to represent the word 'thousand.' We will now examine the “now” vs. the “later” regarding this thousand years.
When we look at Rev 20 we see that the phrase 'thousand years' is used as a measurement of time. If you look at Rev 20:1-6 this time is in the spiritual realm. There is no means to compare the physical to the spiritual world, with regard to time. The word thousand was used meaning a long period of time and is “not literal”.
That is why 2 Pet 3:8 was given to us. This verse shows how one day is the same as a thousand years when referring to time, the Lord is in the spiritual we are in the physical. Psalms 50:10 states the Lord owns the cattle upon a thousand hills. We know it’s more than a thousand.. this means many, and is also “not literal”.
Rev 20:2-3 shows how Satan is bound and sealed in the spiritual realm. Why? That he should deceive the nations no more. This deception is seen in Rev 20:7-8. He will be loosed from the spiritual realm, the bottomless pit or hell, into the physical realm earth, to deceive the nations to gather them to the great and final battle against “JESUS” KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”!
Rev 20:4 - The saints seen here are also seen in Rev 7:13-17. They are reigning with the Lord “NOW”! They have came out of great tribulation, those saved that have went before us. The new bible versions in Rev 7:14 takes this truth away by changing “came” (past tense), to “come” (future tense), and adds “the” before 'great tribulation', misleading one to believe this will be the future great tribulation.
Many want you to believe that the only way you can receive the mark of the beast, or worship the image will be during the tribulation. Nothing in the Bible limits a mark dedicated to Satan, or worship of an image to Satan confined to the tribulation. In Ex 7:11 were the sorcerers of Egypt marked using Satan's power ?
Throughout the Bible you see the building of images to Satan, and worship. Nebuchadnezzar wanted the three, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to bow and worship the image or die. Dan 3:1-30 - when they stood firm in their faith in the Lord, the king tried to burn them. In Dan 3:25 we see the Lord Jesus and his promise right in the fire with the three! “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” They came out not even smelling like smoke!
Then they were made rulers in the kingdom. In Dan 3:25, the new Bible versions remove “the Son of God” and put in “a son of the gods.” They removed Jesus from the fiery furnace. In Rom 11:4, the Lord knew He had seven thousand that hadn’t bowed their knee to Baal.
Throughout history you've seen religious markings in the forehead, hands, and bodies of many cultural and religious groups, using ashes in the forehead, tattooing, carving, scaring, painting, much of this having religious meaning, marking was forbidden in Lev 19:28. People at rock concerts salute Satan by pointing their fingers in a certain position, while holding their hands in the air. Today they say the mark is a tattoo, barcode, or microchip.. next year it will be something new. Remember in Matthew 24:24, deception will be so great if it were possible the elect Christian would be deceived. Eph 4:30 - but the Holy Spirit won’t allow this, as the Christian is sealed. Scripture doesn’t show that it’s confined to our day or the future. It’s been in the past and will be in the future tribulation, however it says in Rev 14:6-9, if you “worship” or receive his “mark” they shall receive of the wrath of God. The Lord will make a definite final call to fear, and give him glory, to repent, those that don’t heed will see his power through plagues and wrath!
Rev 20:5 - this is the resurrection of the last day or end of this world also seen in John 5:28-29. There will be two resurrections here - first the saved, second the unsaved. The saved are blessed to be in the first. John 6:39-40 and John 11:24 show the timing of these resurrections to be the last day or end of this world.
Matt 24:31 - The Lord comes with the voice of the angels “after the tribulation” and gathers his elect believers. 1 Cor 15:52 “ In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at “the last trump.” This trump happens at the last day.
Seldom talked about in pretribulation teaching, this is explained in Rev 10:6-7, with “time no longer.” This is the new heaven and earth as seen in Rev 21 - Satan’s kingdom is gone. This same resurrection and separation of saved, and unsaved is explained in Matt 13:37-43, showing the wheat/saved, and tare/unsaved growing together until the harvest and separated at “the end of this world” by the angels. 1 Thess 4:15-18 is at the last day.
The resurrection and catching up of the believer will happen prior to the fiery wrath poured out upon the heavens and earth. “Jesus hasn’t appointed the saved to wrath”. Rev 20:6 repeats the same basic contextual reading of Rev 20:4-5, regarding the first resurrection and the reign of the saints. In Rev 20:7-9, Satan is loosed, brings the nations together by deception to make war with the “LAMB.” The armies of the earth will surround the camp of the saints, then the saved are removed prior to God’s fiery wrath from heaven, and that ends this world.
Rev 16:12-21 reveals some of the same events. In Rev 16:15, we see the church still present on earth “Behold, I come as a thief.” The Lord says watch. Luke 21:28 - When we see this, the Lord says look up our redemption draweth nigh, this is near the time of battle. We see this order in 1 Cor 15:23-24. Jesus was the first resurrected, then the saved at his return, then the end. This is seen in 2 Pet 3:10-13. The day of the Lord will come as a thief, the heavens and earth will be dissolved by fire, we are to look for this day of the Lord. Then it will be a new heaven and earth, seen in Rev 21. The HOLY NEW JERUSALEM is prepared as a bride coming down from God. This is the eternal city, for the saved believers.
THE DECEPTION TODAY!
Today you are hearing of a rebuilt temple and a physical person taking the throne of David? They say he will come through the eastern gate of Jerusalem to do this, portraying himself to be the Christ. Who will this be? They teach Jesus will return to a desert city Petra. Will they help seat the antichrist? This is taught on the television, radio, in churches and books. In Matt 24:23-26, Jesus warns us not to go after such. The Bible teaches us that his appearing will be “glorious in the heavens” seen in Matt 24:27-31 Take heed lest ye be deceived!
(Ps 138:2) THE DECEPTION FALSE (bibles)! (Ps 12:6-7)
Today many people aren’t aware that the new Bible versions are missing thousands of words and verses. The niv, nasb, nlt, rsv, nrsv, and ncv. Yes! The Jehovah's Witnesses New World Translation removes the same, and “more”!
These corrupt versions are backed by corrupt Greek texts from Egypt. Two men, Westcott and Hort, in 1881, delivered this corrupt Greek text to the world. The true text is the “Greek Received Text.” It was used by the true Christians - Wycliffe, Tyndale, Knox, Calvin, Wesley, and the Av 1611 King James translators.
The true Christian heritage has never used this corrupt text from Egypt, or translations from it. I will give you a sample of what is missing:
-
Matt 17:21 18:11 Acts 8:37 and more, these verses are gone or in brackets.
-
1 John 5:7 they remove the “Godhead” The JW’s love this they don’t believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one.
-
Eph 3:9 “by Jesus Christ” is out being creator.
-
Eph 3:14 “of our Lord Jesus Christ” is out.
-
Luke 4:4 “but by every word of God” is taken out.
-
Luke 4:8 “get thee behind me satan” is removed.
-
Col 1:14 “through his blood” is gone.
-
Matt 9:13 “to repentance” is out, calling sinners.
-
Mark 1:31 “immediately” gone, removing the miracle.
The New King James and its variances are the corruptions of Robert Stephanus in 1550. We will look at a few:
-
Acts 17:29 KJV Godhead or nkjv Divine Nature the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit gone.
-
I Cor 1:18 and 2 Cor 2:15 KJV are saved or nkjv are being saved.
-
Rev 10:6 KJV time no longer or nkjv no longer delay, no end of the world.
-
Matt 13:39 KJV end of the world or nkjv end of the age, here they remove Biblical time lines the world never ends just goes from age to age. LIE!
-
Rev 13:16 KJV a mark “in” their hand or nkjv “on” their hand, mark of the beast DANGEROUS! They remove “JEHOVAH” entirely.
-
Rev 7:14 they change “came” to “come” and add “the” before great tribulation misleading one to think this will be the future great tribulation.

P.O. box 7944 Eugene Oregon. 97401 USA. Who is the modern father of the pretribulation rapture, and the millennial reign? C.I. Scofield! He created a reference bible delivered to the USA and world in 1909, it contained the foundation of teachings still in use today called the Scofield Bible. It contained his teachings of prophecy. Between 1909 to present, “thousands” of persons and churches have used his references to learn this complex system. Many theological universities used his teachings. His reference notes were the greatest influence in America, planting the pretribulation, millennial view.
“The incredible Scofield and his book”
This book exposes him living with a woman in fornication, having a wife and children while producing his reference notes, and much more. A corrupt tree can’t bring forth good fruit! This book is at Ross House Books P.O. Box 67 Vallecito Ca. 95251 PH#(209) 736-4365

My only problem here is that Mr. Nutt rests much of his argument on the specific text of the 1611 KJV. The Rapture is equally as unbiblical with other versions of the Bible. The KJV only stuff is equally as big a lie as the Rapture is.

I find your comments about the "modern" versions to be inaccurate and misleading. I personally use many of these and find that the truth is brought out much clearer than in some archaic language that no one speaks. The phrases you refer to are generally not "left out" but are simply noted as not being in the oldest manuscripts. Every objection that you make was made against the KJV when it was the new kid on the block and the Geneva Bible was its' competitor.

Mr. Nutt is right to only use the King James Version when he studies the bible. Every time the bible is translated to a new version something is lost. At least with the King James Version there are tools that can be used to refer back to the original text in Greek and Hebrew. These lanuguages are similar to English in the respect that many words have double meanings. The Holy Bible is filled with simbolism that transcends the text and is lost in newer versions of the bible.

The greek received text is the true Christian text historically used, the
new versions Niv, Nasb, Nlt, Nwt, Etc are backed by the "corrupt texts" from
Alexandria Egypt, please read the recommended refrence books, the new
versions are missing words and verses because the "corrupt text" excludes
them.
Are all Dispensationallist liars? "NO"!!!!!!!!! "just deceived", I believed
the lie for several years until the Lord Jesus Christ opened my eyes.

I agree with your comments on the different translations. I don't agree with
your interpretation of Daniel's 70 weeks. Are you going to tell me it only
took seven weeks to rebuild Jerusalem, when it took 46 years to build the
temple, John 2:20. All doesn't mean all all the time. World doesn't mean the
entire global community all the time either. Tammy

I believe the KJV of 1611 is the only reliable, trustworthy version we have.
It does say that there will be a pretrib rapture. You, who say otherwise,
need to get your hearts right with the Lord and start comparing scripture
with scripture. That is how one knows the truth. The 1,000 reign is not
happening now on the earth. Get to know your bible.

[Re the above mention of David Jeremiah, I share the following recently seen
on the web! Jon]
THIEVES' MARKETING
by Dave MacPherson
Are you aware that some major evangelical publishers have been trafficking
in stolen items?
Before I load you up with brand-new details about a stunning development in
this regard, I need to put this vehicle in reverse.
Surfers of non-pretrib sites may remember the "Deceiving and Being Deceived"
article of mine I began distributing last June. In it I included the names
of many well-known pretrib authors who had been plagiarizing the writings of
others, and also revealed the names of some evangelical publishers who'd
been a party to such piracy.
But this shocking story really began in 1997. That was when I discovered
that much of a 1990 book, Escape the Coming Night by David Jeremiah and C.
C. Carlson, was a brazen plagiarism of Hal Lindsey's 1973 book There's A New
World Coming. I can't recall which part of Escape made me suspicious and led
me to do a thorough examination. It may have been the description of the
144,000 as "Jewish Billy Grahams"----an unforgettable phrase I knew Lindsey
had used. (Originally published by Word Publishing, Escape had later been
taken over by Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Bible and inspirational
book publisher on earth.)
The year 1997 also found me working on a new book, one that came out the
following year. After I ran across even more plagiarism in some influential
evangelical publishers including Moody Press, I decided to confront them.
The first publisher contacted was Thomas Nelson in 1998. I chose to write to
Mrs. Sam Moore, the wife of Thomas Nelson's chairman and CEO. (At times it's
easier to get the attention of a busy executive if a request or problem is
addressed to his wife and marked "personal"!)
Mrs. Moore evidently turned the letter over to her husband because I soon
received a letter from Thomas Elmlinger, associate counsel in Nelson's legal
department, who asked me to send him evidence of plagiarism in Escape. After
I sent him a stack of photocopies of marked pages in both books (Escape had
massive plagiarism on 47 pages!), a November 2, 1998 letter from Elmlinger
stated:
"Thank you for your letter of October 19 and the enclosed photocopy of the
suspect portions of Escape the Coming Night. Word published this book in
1990, two years before Word became a part of Thomas Nelson. Obviously, we
were unable to check every title that Word had published for possible
problems.
"Nevertheless, we at Thomas Nelson are very concerned about this matter.
Accordingly, we are destroying all our current inventory of this title and
will not reprint the book.
"Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention."
During the next few years I sent many copies of this letter to Christian
leaders and praised Thomas Nelson publicly for its honesty. And in my recent
"Deceiving" article on numerous worldwide sites, I referred to Nelson as a
"happy exception to publishing dishonesty" while discussing the thievery in
Escape.
Well, clouds can suddenly blot out the sun. In mid-2001 I happened to spot
the 1999 reprint of Escape the Coming Night which featured a totally
different front cover. This was the first time I'd had a chance to see the
new printing and I was wondering what it would look like minus the
plagiarism that Elmlinger said would never again appear in that title.
However, I was amazed and dumbfounded upon finding out that ALL of the
plagiarism was still in it and that the publishing of it hadn't missed a
beat ever since Elmlinger's misleading letter in late 1998!
In addition, I noted that the title page listed the publisher as "Word
Publishing" and called it "A Thomas Nelson Company"!
On August 31, 2001 I sent a letter to David Moberg, president of Word
Publishing (which now calls itself W Publishing). I told him what I've just
told you and added:
"How can a Thomas Nelson company continue to publish a dishonest book? Was
your company informed of the plagiarism? If so, why is it still in the book?
Thomas Elmlinger at Nelson reviewed the evidence I presented. If you would
rather have the proof from me, I can send you a stack of photocopies of
marked pages in your latest edition plus marked pages in the Hal Lindsey
book that was plagiarized by Jeremiah and Carlson."
(HE HAS NEVER RESPONDED!)
A number of weeks later, on October 1st, I mailed the same questions to Mrs.
Sam Moore.
(SHE HAS NEVER RESPONDED!)
Several weeks later, on October 23rd, I put the same questions to Mr.
Elmlinger, the man who gave me a rapture runaround in 1998 while evidently
planning all the while to cover up the continuation of dishonest promotion
of the pretrib rapture view, a view easily lending itself to such practices
simply because it's been riddled with dishonesty since its 1830 birth!
(HE HAS NEVER RESPONDED!)
Whenever ancient Israel failed to do right or deliberately did wrong, she
brought terror upon herself----that is, she provoked the Lord which forced
Him to allow men and even angels to terrorize her. In effect, she was her
own terrorist, bringing terror upon herself.
Not all of the terrorists these days are in the Middle East or Afghanistan.
In Western "Christian" countries there are those who terrorize millions of
the unborn in "hospitals" and those who terrorize the already-born on
highways. And also those who terrorize the born-again ones by promoting a
latter-day end-time view that's already terrorized and killed unprepared
millions in Russia, China, Korea etc. and promises to terrorize and kill
many more unprepared and exploited millions.
If terrorists include those who aid and finance terrorism, as President Bush
has stated, then those who operate from publishing "caves" in Tennessee or
Michigan or Oregon while secretly aiding literary thievery are actually
Laodicean enemies in our midst who will force God to terroristically chasten
all of us who continue to support such dishonesty----no matter how many
flags we wrap ourselves in, and no matter how often we chant our superficial
Americadabra slogans!

I find it hard to believe that the the Holy Spirit and a physical ruler of
darkness can exsist on earth at the same time.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
(AV 1611 KJV)
Many persons hold a position that Gods word was inspired in the original
autographs of the Greek and Hebrew, but won’t acknowledge that the Lord
Jesus Christ has preserved his word “perfectly” for the believer in our
present generation. The majority of these individuals when asked who created
the heavens with its infinite galaxies, the milky way alone estimated at 450
million light years across. The earth, and the human body with their untold
complexity, will agree, according to Colossians 1:16-17 that the Lord Jesus
Christ is the creator, and all things consist by him. When asked if the Lord
has preserved his word “perfectly” for them today, a few million words, in a
book called the Holy Bible, answer “impossible”! denying the doctrine of
“perfect” preservation.
Many avoid this subject, because the next question is, if the Lords word is
perfect, then what version is it perfect in, the niv, nasb, nkjv, nlt, nrsv,
ncv or the AV 1611 KJV or some other foreign language translation.
(1) How can the Lords word be truthful if it’s not perfect?
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
(2) How can a Christian be called to perfection, if the Lord Jesus hasn’t
preserved his word perfect for them today?
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.
(3) The Lord Jesus has preserved his word “perfect” for our present
generation as he promised. “God is perfect”!
Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times. (7) Thou shalt keep them, O Lord,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever.
(4) The Lord Jesus magnify’s his word above “all” even the Godhead.
Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for
thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above
all thy name.
(5) The Lord Jesus gives a severe warning to any who would tamper with his
“perfect truth”.
Revelation 22:18-19 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: (19) 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.
Where has Gods word been preserved in the English language?
(1) Has the Lord Jesus preserved his word through the Alexandrian Egyptian
Greek text, from the school of the Gnostics, preserved by the roman catholic
church, and transmitted by Westcott and Hort in 1881 that backs the niv,
nasb, nlt, nrsv, ncv, the Jehovah’s witnesses new world translation, the
American catholic bible and more, with this text removing thousands of words
and verses, as compared to the historical Greek received text that the true
Christian heritage has used from the pen of Paul, and the apostles to
present. Sample of verses missing. Matthew 17:21, 18:11, Acts 8:37. In 1
John 5:7 they remove the Godhead. Colossians 1:14 they remove “through his
blood” the atonement is gone. Eph 3:9 “by Jesus Christ” gone, the creator is
removed here. Luke 4:4 “but by every word of God” removed. Luke 4:8 “Get
thee behind me, Satan:” removed. Hundreds of verses could be shown that
display the same.
(2) Has the Lord Jesus preserved his word through the “corruptions” of the
Greek received text, at the hand of Robert Stephanus 1550 that backs the new
king james version, with it’s additions and deletions. (Samples) 1
Corinthians 1:18 & 2 Corinthians 2:15 AV 1611 KJV “are saved” or the nkjv
“are being saved” progressive salvation, this is a false doctrine. Acts
17:29 AV 1611 KJV “Godhead” or the nkjv “Divine Nature” the Father, Son ,
and Holy Spirit is gone. Revelation 10:6 AV 1611 KJV “time no longer” or the
nkjv “no longer delay” they change Biblical prophetic time lines the world
never ends here. Revelation 7:14 they change the AV 1611 KJV past tense
“came” to the nkjv future tense “come” and it adds “the” before great
tribulation misleading one to think this will be the future time of great
tribulation, changing prophetic time lines again.
(3) Has the Lord Jesus preserved his word through the Greek received text
that the true Christian heritage has used Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, Knox,
Calvin, Wesley, and the AV 1611 KJV translators, and has been perfectly
preserved, not missing one word or verse, as the Lord has promised in Psalms
12:6-7 for our generation today.
The new bible versions with their copyrights, and multiple restrictions,
that allow only a few hundred verses to be used without permission from the
owner, hinders persons from using their counterfeit words freely, this being
in direct conflict with Gods true word.
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the
Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
When asking saved and unsaved alike, is it possible for a person, or a
corporation to own Gods word? The answer is an overwhelming “no” it is then
brought to the Christians attention that the owners of these many new
versions, and copyrights, try to claim that they have done this,“WRONG”!
These new versions and their corruptions, coming under the judgment of
Revelation 22:18-19.
The Authorized 1611 King James Version has been held in the public domain,
and has always been free for complete use, because it’s God’s word preserved
“perfectly” in the English language.
Do you believe in “perfect” preservation, of the Lords word, for our
generation today?
