Bible Question:
Greetings Ken John! Allow me to ask you the question from the other perspective. Why exactly did the KJV include these verses? After you have addressed that question my friend, then I would ask, 'Why did modern translation not include these verses?' Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: Greetings Tim, To answer your question,the Authorized King James Version included these verses because they are the very Word of God preserved to this day. In Psalm 12:6 read "The Words of the Lord are PURE WORDS: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Paul describes the inspired scriptures as "words.....which the Holy Ghost teacheth."(1 Cor 2:13) In terms of Jeremiah 23:30, the many modern versions being promoted today truly steal God's Word from the people. They are corruptions of God's Word. Nearly all Bible Societies today are producing bibles from the corrupted Westcott-Hort texts therefore they are not truly God's Word. Others, however, like the Trinitarian Bible Society, are printing Bibles in many languages of the world from the Textus Receptus only therefore they are truly God's own Inspired Word. I trust my brother that I have given a clear explanation in answer to you. In Christ, Ken John. |
