Problems with "New" Bible Versions - Part 1

I (Rich) started this back in November 2008 - I plan to add to it in the near future:

Problems with the “New” Bible Versions:
(Any versions other than the KJV)

1. The “new” bible versions use scriptures that were perverted in Alexandria, Egypt instead of the preserved scriptures found in Antioch of Syria (where the disciples were first called “Christians”).

2. The “scholars” of Alexandria couldn’t agree on anything regarding the bible. The main source of the resulting false bible was Origen:
Origen was not a bible-believer
Origen did not believe in the Old Testament miracles
Origen did not believe many of Jesus’ words or stories
Origen did not believe the Holy Spirit was eternal
Origen did not believe that Jesus Christ is Almighty God
Therefore, Origen freely removed Jesus’ words and changed verses as he saw fit. He made up his own version of the bible. It contained his own modified Greek Old Testament, mixed in the “old folk tales” called the Apocrypha, and added his own perverted New Testament.

3. Origen called his modified Old Testament mixed with the Aprocrypha: the “ancient” Septuagint.

4. The combined Septuagint and Origen’s perverted New Testament are called the Alexandrian Bible.

5. Origen is today considered a “saint” even though he wasn’t a real Christian!

6. The “scholars” at Alexandria wrote 3 bible perversions:
Sinaiticus (about 350 AD)
Vaticanus (before 400 AD)
Alexandrinus (about 450 AD)

7. The Vaudois from northwest Italy (east of France) went to Antioch of Syria to receive God’s words in about 120 AD. For the next 37 years they translated the bible into Latin. This true bible was known as the Old Latin Bible. This bible was also known as the Common Bible or the Vulgate Bible. (This “vulgate” is not to be confused with Jerome’s false “vulgate” published later).

8. Rome’s last Caesar, Constantine, gave himself a new title: Pontifex Maximus (a.k.a. Pope).

God Is with You

We got this bookmark recently...

"Although each day
brings challenges
and things that are unknown,
You needn't face them
by yourself
or deal with alone,
For others care about you
and will keep you
close in prayer
And, above all,
God will guide you -
for His love is
always there.

by Emily Matthews

We thought we'd share this with you during these challenging economic times! Hang in there!

"Imitation Bibles Produce Imitation Christians"

The quote in my Title comes from page 182 of a book that I (Rich) have been reading lately. It's a slow process because as I'm going through the book, I am referencing both my NIV Study bible and my Holy Bible: King James Version. The book is titled:

New Age Bible Versions: An Exhaustive Documentation Exposing the Message, Men and Manuscripts Moving Mankind to the Antichrist's One World Religion

I've always preferred the NIV in the past, but as I read more, I am discovering that I am becoming a King James Only advocate. The changes that the new version editors have taken over the years are at the very least scary! I plan to write more about this in upcoming posts.

6 Words for "Miracle"

A soon-to-be pastor (Trevor)spoke at my church on May 25th. He preached on miracles, and began his sermon going through the 6 different Hebrew words for 'miracle' as found in the Bible.

The first 5 words are intended to attract NEW believers:
1) teras - "wonders"
2) dynamis - "miracles"
3) endoxox - "wonderful things"
4) thaumasios - "wonderful things"
5) paradoxos - " remarkable things"

The last word is aimed at the believers:
6) semeion - "miraculous signs"

Trevor went into further detail on these 6 words and listed where each one is found in the Bible. I'll leave it up to him to share this information in his own way.

BTW the GREATEST miracle is The Gift of Salvation (only available by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior).

Allow Jesus to impact your life!
