Hi Kalos, Here is another example in NIV/others: In Acts 8:37, the King James reads,"And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." The modern versions all edit out the entire verse! One of the best verses in the Bible on salvation through Jesus Christ and they edit it out! Why is it that every time a sinner is saved by grace in the book of Acts - THEY ATTACK IT? In Acts 9:5,6: Paul is getting saved, and they take out 20 words! In Acts 16:31 when the Philippian jailer is getting saved, the word "CHRIST" is delicately removed! Why do these new bibles so fiercely attack God's wonderful plan of salvation? They take out: Romans 16:24, Mark 11:26, Acts 15:34, Luke 23:17, Acts 28:29, John 5:4, Mark 7:16, 9:44,46 and many, many more - as your Bible is literally cut apart! Jesus Christ says, in Luke 4:4, ". . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD OF GOD." Not according to the NIV, NASV, NRSV and ! In fact, they even "tear out" the last half of Luke 4:4 - "BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD"! Yes, but the new versions have the deity in other places. They contain the plan of salvation in other places. There is good in them. Did you know ONE tiny, microscopic AIDS virus will "defile" a whole batch of perfectly "good" blood? It has some "good" in it - BUT IT WOULD BE DEADLY! Would you "inject" it into your child, loved one or congregation? And would you "inject" them with a Bible that is "defiled" because it has some "good"? It could be far more costly than their physical life - THEIR ETERNAL SOUL! Galatians 5:9 says, "A LITTLE leaven leaveneth THE WHOLE lump." Brother Kalos, if you want more examples I have them. In Christ, KJ. |

The account in Acts that you are mentioning does not exist in the oldest, most reliable manuscripts. The KJV is good - I have one and use it, BUT it was written over 400 years ago. We have found many manuscripts since then that are much older than those used in the TR, which is what the KJV is based on. If you would like an in depth discussion on this issue, read Metzger's Commentary on the Greek New Testament. | ||||||

Greetings Huron! Excellent response my friend! I always enjoy these discussions about the KJV. While I love the KJV (I grew up with it), it is just a translation like any other translation. Many seem to forget (or simply don't know) that the translators had to determine a Greek text (just like modern translators do). In that process, they had to make decisions about what belonged and what did not belong (just like modern translators do). The only problem was that they only had a handful of relatively late manuscripts (most of which came from the same family) to base these decisions upon. Now, we have literally thousands of manuscripts with which to work, some of them being much older than those with which the KJV had to work. So, one could make the argument that the modern translations aren't 'changing' God's Word, but eliminating the 'changes' made by the KJV's inclusion of questionable texts. :-) Keep up the good work! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, Thank you! The transmission/preservation of the NT is something that has been catching my attention more and more lately. I love the KJV for it's flow and sound, but if I had to pick one all around Bible translation it would be the NASB. As I'm sure you noticed, I still have more questions than answers! Regards, Huron |
