Question #31
QUESTION: I can still find the fundamentals
in other bibles. So how can they be bad?
ANSWER: Any fundamental found in any
version is found purer or more frequently in the King James Bible thus
making the King James Bible the best of the field.
EXPLANATION: Most people who claim to
be able to find the fundamentals in other versions forget that the very
fundamentals which they claim to be able to find, were originally taught
them from a King James Bible.
Following are just a few doctrines which can be found
in other versions but found in a weaker state than
in the King James Bible. (The versions mentioned are used as a cross-
section of versions available and do not necessarily include or exclude
others.)
1. The deity of Christ is watered down in Acts 3:13,26,
4:27,30 in the New King James Version, the New International Version
and New American Standard Version where Jesus is called God's "servant"
instead of God's "Son."
2. The doctrine of Hell is watered down in Luke 16:23
in the New King James Version and New American Standard Version where
they transliterate "Hades" instead of translating it as "Hell."
3. The salvation of the Ethiopian eunuch is eliminated
in the New International Version and New American Standard Version where
Acts 8:37 is removed from the text.
4. The Ascension of Jesus Christ is left out of Luke 24:51
in a New American Standard Version.
5. The virgin birth of Jesus is denied in the New International
Version and New American Standard Version in Luke 2:33 where Joseph
is called Jesus' father.
6. The doctrine of the Trinity is either removed or questioned
in I John 5:7 where the New American Standard Version and New International
Version remove the verse and then split verse 6 and manufacture a false
verse 7 and in the New King James Version where a note casts doubt on
its authenticity.
These are just a few corruptions in the
texts of today's modern versions. It is not an exhaustive list by any
means.
It may be stated that such criticism of other bibles is
"nit-picking". But, let it be remembered that, if you can
find a particular doctrine in a modern bible, let's say, 200 times and
you can find the same doctrine more
times in the King James, then the King James is stronger.
