The KJV is a good translation, but there are a number of good translations. The KJV is not “THE” inspired English translation. You might prefer the KJV. No problem there. But “KJV only” is false. In the same way I could say that God’s only inspired Word is the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. So I believe in the “Manuscript only” position 🙄 See how it works… We are blessed to have many good Bible translations, and in many languages today. Yes, there are bad “translations” too. But there are multiple good translations that are available to us in English.
no need for multiple translations. We are to read our Bibles with the Holy Spirit and not to do word studies. God did not ordain more than 150 bible versions which must be 10% different from each other due to copyright laws. You seem to ignore the possiblility of a devil who is in the world and his efforts to waterdown Gods word. Do you know that the devil exists or not?
Also note that the KJV was created over 400 years ago. There are many words in this version that are outdated, in terms of modern English today. I still believe that it is a good translation. But to say that it’s the one and only English translation for today is absolutely ludicrous.
I finally got an opportunity tonight to share the gospel with my neighbor, whom is a 33rd degree Freemason. He barely let me speak and he was very uncomfortable. But I finally got the truth out to him. Please pray for Mr. Buddy to come to know Jesus as Lord & Savior !
Freemasons have a hard time listening when it contradicts Freemasonry. Many like to say that the Mason’s are a Christian organization, which it is not. Mason’s only have to take an oath to a deity. If it Buddha, they pledge to Buddha, if they are Muslims, it is made on the Koran and to Mohammed. I will be praying he listens. I am a former Mason and I will be praying for you and he both.

My ESV says this in the foot notes: Some manuscripts add "who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit". As does my CSB. My NKJV and my KJV say some manuscripts omit the rest of the verse. These are my study Bibles: ESV Archaeology Study Bible, KJV Study Bible, ESV Study Bible, NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, CSB Rainbow Study Bible (all the highlighting is already done, and everything is color coded by category), and ESV Journaling Study Bible (which I bought for my dad,but he'd rather use his phone, so it made it's way back onto my bookshelf) and a KJV journaling Bible. I use them all, mainly for the study notes. But my two favored ones are my ESV Archaeology Study Bible and my NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible. Those that I listed are the literal translations, which is what I stick to. I don't go for the thought for thought or the paraphrasing ones.
Which happened in the 1600's when King James of England and Scotland hired a group of scholars to have the texts changed from hebrew to english so that the people could read it for themselves. Lots of precious and valuable information was taken out of the KJV.
@@Wynn-fr6oz Not changed and not just a group of scholars. The original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts were translated by 200 English Scholars and as far as things taken out you can take that up with the Catholic church that removed over 17 books from the King James 1611. King James aimed to unify the religious divisions in England. At the time, there were significant tensions between Catholics and Protestants, as well as various Protestant factions. A new, authoritative translation of the Bible that was accepted by all would help reduce these divisions. The existing English translations, such as the Geneva Bible, were often seen as controversial, particularly by the Anglican Church and the monarchy, due to their marginal notes that could be critical of the monarchy and the established Church. The translation would help standardize the English language. English was evolving rapidly, and a new Bible would offer a uniform version of the scriptures for the entire country, contributing to linguistic cohesion. While there were existing English translations of the Bible, including the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible, King James felt that they were not ideal for public worship. The Geneva Bible, for example, had been popular but contained Protestant commentary and notes that often opposed the monarchy and Anglican doctrine. The King sought a translation that would be more neutral and align with the Church of England's teachings. The translation project was an ambitious scholarly endeavor. The scholars that King James appointed were all experts in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, to ensure the translation was accurate, clear, and authoritative. They were tasked with creating a version that would be faithful to the original texts while being readable to the English-speaking public. The King was also seeking to assert his authority over the Church of England, which had broken away from Rome under Henry VIII. By commissioning the Bible, James asserted his control over both religious and political spheres, reinforcing the idea that the monarch had authority over religious matters in England. In 1611, the King James Version was completed, and it has since become one of the most influential and widely read translations of the Bible in history.
@@Wynn-fr6oz Seems like your ' education ' on this topic has been contaminated heavily by information, directly or indirectly, from the Vatican. Yes, the Vatican has had the power to rewrite history as well.
@@Wynn-fr6ozSame thing has happened every time the scriptures have passed through committees and been translated. That’s why on-going revelation is so crucial.
The King James writers literally had to do that very thing because they were missing resources when translating the KJV. They say so themselves in the preface to the KJV they wrote and published shortly after the KJV came out. To use the King James version of that verse to condemn adding to or taking away from the Bible is very ironic.
@@lionoffireraw Aaaah! the classic 'scholarship only' based "Get out of scriptual basterdisation "Yea Hath God said" jail" card eh? Lucky for us there are no 'original' manuscripts! The Lord really snookered himself on that one! :)
It is thought by scholars that this statement of “don’t add or detract from this book, is only about the book of Revelation not the entire Bible, since it’s only in that book.
Lifelong KJV here. I've studied other versions of the Bible, but I always end up coming back to the KJV. Not that.there aren't some good translarions other than it. I'm 62 and after a lifetime of looking imto many translations I always arrive at the conclusion that the KJV remains the best preserved version of God's Council in the English language. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed week.
Re; coming back to the KJV. me too.I do have the ESV is easier to read to a group, because the KJV punctuation is kind of a challenge. but i defer to kJV every time
You need to study your chosen translation (KJV I assume, just like me) and delve into translation and meaning of words in the original language. Use Thompson and especially Stong's. There is NOT a 1 to 1 translation between English in 2024 and ancient Hebrew or Greek in 30 AD; especially with cultural contexts. Just start with the word Angel in ancient Hebrew and se how many different words were used in original text(s). The fact of the matter is that if you've gotten to the point of understanding and identifying different translations and their differences then you shouldn't close your eyes and ears to all but KJV but rather you just opened Pandoras Box to a new level of understanding and you should be using Thompson/Strongs to understand the original meaning, language and context.
All You need is in The Bible? But First you must be a Child of God or You Will Not Understand Scripture. Never listen to TV Preachers or Pastors, etc. or Read Commentaries , other Books. All you need is in The Bible . You can Read The Whole Bible in about 80hrs , just The New Testament about 20hrs? You WILL need a Strong's Concordance and Dictionary. Some Words don't mean what We think they do. I use a Thompson Chain Reference Bible.
Walking in the spirit, is worshipping in spirit and truth, Serving God in likeness of his character and Truth. The spirit we have is God's character, his nature, so walk in love, forgiving, gentle, longsuffer etc.
The KJV says in Heb.9 [15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. [16] For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. [17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. [18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. BUT the other versions substitute covenant for testament. That is non-sense. A testament conveys one parties / persons will upon their death where a covenant is an agreement between to or more living beings / persons. Hebrews 9:15-17 New American Standard Bible 15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a [a]covenant, there must of necessity [b]be the death of the one who made it. 17 For a [c]covenant is valid only when people are dead, [d]for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. - If you confuse who the Old Covenant is for and who the New Covenant is for as it is not the same as those under the gospel of grace who are able ministers of the New Testament you will be totally unaware of what the will of God is for yourself.
@@tims.449 You say that I could "confuse"..."who the New Covenant is for"....and (I) will be totally unaware of what the will of God is for yourself." Brother, Tim, I am 100% aware of what the "will of God" is for me---and for any man living (now) and also under the 'New testatment' --post Jesus--and that is: If any man repents of their sins and accepts Jesus as their messiah then they will be saved and live in eternity with the Lord. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow.....and that is the message of the Gospel....the KJV is perfectly clear....AND...it is not necessary to have a law degree or an English degree to argue definitions and restrictions as it relates to God's plan (to redeem man from the fall). Repent. Believe in Jesus. That is the will of God.
Because Jesus Christ died for their sins. They don't need the law anymore. Law is for the law breakers. Your old sins are forgiven. Sin no more or repent confessions made by the spirits. Spirit is what you speak . Spirit good 👍 or evil. John 1- 4 chapters . Acts 2-6 chapters. Hebrews chapters 11-13. Philippians 2-4 chapters, Colossians 1-3 chapters
Which Douay Rheims? Just curious. I thought I had a genuine one, but it looks like it's NT is Confraternity, although it says 'Douay Rheims' in the front pages. The Confraternity is apparently different from the original Douay Rheims. What's interesting about the Douay Rheims and KJV is that the translators of each one were influenced in the translation style by the other.
I wouldn't take too much notice of the Douay Rheims translation. It's had so much stuff added that is specifically Roman Catholic, that it can barely be regarded as a translation of the Bible.
@@Cailean_MacCoinnich I disagree wholeheartedly. Compare it side by side with KJV or even an RSV, the content (aside from the Apocrypha, which the Catholics deem canonical) remains the same. The Douay is no different from a KJV than an RSV is. A few words are different. The content isn't changed. If by 'added' you mean the apocrypha books, many Protestant Bibles had them, especially the Anglican translations like the New English Bible and New Oxford Annotated RSV. The Apocrypha used to be included in KJV's until the late 1800s.
The one worldly thing the devil could manipulate, effectively misdirecting BILLIONS of souls straight into the abyss is the bible. I read the bible with extreme discernment, praying for wisdom and conviction daily.
Hell was created for the devil and his angels. How do we know? The Bible tells us. Without blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. May the Lord bless you. ✝️
@@Corey-MilkyWayWhisper Satan Was Given Dominion Over The Earth Until The 2nd Coming. Reference to satan's dominion over earth can be found throughout the bible. Though Jesus Christ when being crucified stated John 14-30:31 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.

@@nicholasseaman4858I agree with your statement, however, the Bible declares Satan as the prince and power of the air. Satan reports to God and is under His authority.
@@Als11able Satan does not believe that he is made righteous by faith in Christ because Jesus didn't die for Satan. Satan believes in Jesus' existence. He does not believe in him for salvation. Why is it more than belief in Christ? Did not the thief on the cross simply believe and he was granted eternal life. If not for one why not for all? Is God unjust? No. Then surely we are measured in the same way as the thief?
@@lionoffireraw Matt, the KJV was derived, and translated from the Received Text, the Textus Receptus (TR), a printed Greek New Testament based upon the majority of ancient handwritten New Testament manuscripts. The manuscripts that were used to create the Textus Receptus are known as the Traditional or Byzantine Text. Romans 8:1. from the Textus Receptus: *Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα* The Morphological Greek New Testament text (which the ESV and other more contemporary Bibles use) is render as: *οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ* Hence the difference in English translation. However, personally, and although it is only recorded in verse 8:4, I believe that the more accurate translation is the King James, because it helps express what Paul is trying to convey better. What Paul is saying, and what he means by *That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit* is... That this *righteousness* has NOTHING to do with Deuteronomy 6:25., or walking in the *flesh* and trying to earn an insufficient righteousness. Instead, that this sufficient *Righteousness is for those who (are in Christ Jesus)* who walk after (or according to) the Spirit. Romans 10:3, 4.
How can you fully understand a text if the text has been omitted? One of the most well known omissions is Acts 8:37. By removing this verse, the requirement “to believe” is done away with for salvation. Another common omission is 1 John 5:7 which states the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one. How can removing a verse addressing the Trinity of God lead to an understanding of the Trinity? Furthermore, not all translations have footnotes. The KJV text does not have a copyright, but the NIV does. Every time the NIV gets revised (and there have been many revisions), a new copyright is created and more money is made. Tell me why “a better translation” has to be revised so regularly? In 1996, the “New International Version Inclusive Language Edition” was published in the UK which included gender-neutral language. Should the Bible be revised to conform to modern society’s social perspectives? Were these revisions about gender inclusion based on original manuscripts? Of course not. The Bible should change us, not us changing it. Sorry, but I fully disagree with your stand on translations.
@@susangraham1203 One of my early Bible study teachers told me it was taken out because; it was not in the earlier manuscripts. He also said that if you use this on a JW, they will laugh at you because of this. There are plenty of other verses which show the deity of our Father, His Son , and the Holy Spirit. If we study , we can rightly handle the word of truth, and you know I'm not the first to say that. Example 2 Cor. 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit" . Says the Holy Spirit is God. There are verses for the Lord Jesus Christ too, so you can show the deity of each.
I use mostly the KJV and Geneva Bible to study, but I KNOW that the Holy spirit can teach the main message of salvation through Jesus Christ in ANY version. God is not limited to reveal TRUTH to anyone seeking Him. He knows what bible we have and how deep each person is capable of understanding. Hallelujah. 🙌
@@RuffCut Well he does actually care. Revelation 22: 18-19 ( There will be Hell to pay ) but he can teach someone who just heard the gospel only ....and never even had a bible or anything
@@Kim-js8jf you get it...you are either studying God's words or you're not...."the main message of salvation" is distorted in all modern translations.....its beside the point how we are saved
I don't use the modern translations due to the fact that the majority are from Westcott and Hort, who brought forth their translation based on the Vaticanus and Alexandrian texts. Both Westcott and Hort were occultists. When I first got saved, I got a KJV Bible and struggled through it. I then got an NIV and as I read through it, the verses didn't sound right. I compared it to my KJV and the NIV sounded like man said it and the KJV was of ALMIGHTY GOD. After I found three major differences, I checked my NIV and haven't looked back since. All the problems I found were wrong translations in the old testament.
Exactly, it's a well documented fact that Westcott and Hort literally used to speak to the dead in their churches. On top of this, Sinatiacas was written by Constanine Simmonides in 1840, and Vaticanus came out of the Vatican. People don't know it, but these newer translations are not translating from the original Greek. They are using Westcott and Horts' corrupted text, which has over 27 editions.
NIV is translated thought-for-thought. KJV was translated word-for-word... But in the English from 400 years ago. That's why you see those differences. I'd encourage you to try comparing modern word-for-word translations, such as ESV, NASB, CSB, Legacy Standard Bible, to name a few.
You said it perfectly. NIv is terrible imo. aSo the KJV is a bit tricky to follow. Great. it makes us slow down and if we do that; we might even 'hear' God's voice. i know i have, many times
That is a significant difference because it defeats the importance of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which is what Christians need to be focusing in on, and not the flesh.
If you read the verse in Greek it is really explaining that those who are in Christ Jesus walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh…..so the first part of the Verse lays out that there is no condemnation for those in Christ and the Second part is stating why, so it’s not saying what people think it’s saying because some people believe you can be in Christ and walk according to the flesh but the Verse is telling you that people in Christ doesn’t walk according to flesh but the Spiri, you may not walk perfectly
The battle is then between the dominant soul and the regenerated Spirit there lies the real challenge.Do we surrender completely , your soul ( flesh) will battle for its supremacy it has always had.
@@DaChristianYute and even reading in English, or whatever ones native language, if you look at the preceding text it does lay out what you're saying. Romans 8:1 "Therefore..." referring back to what he was saying at the end of chapter 7, my paraphrase, wretched man that I am who will save me because I do what I don't want to do and don't do what I should do, serving God in my mind ( my intent, purpose, will to do right) and serving sin in my flesh ( my weakness, my reactions, my succumbing to do wrong) Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ, my substitute to my sin. What then, shall I purposefully sin, of course not, but when I do, I know I am covered by the undeserved grace of my Savior.
In that case I guess I'm going to hell. I see no way possible to "walk in spirit" in this world. No matter how saved we think we are we are not a spirit until we die.
@@DaChristianYute True, as no man can call Jesus Lord without the Spirit of God. But to walk victorious, one must do as Ephesians 5:18 instructs, as this is how one walks in the Spirit, by being filled "with the Spirit" ! How? Luke 11:13.
2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////////////////

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible was written by a committee of 47 scholars and clergymen under the supervision of Richard Bancroft, the archbishop of Canterbury. The KJV was published in 1611.
Those 50 PhDs have their interpretations colored by the same theology and doctrines of the 3rd century that have been used to keep Christ's promised "spirit of truth" at bay for 2000 years.
@@jimmytaylor1570The most common KJV bible in the modern era is the 1769 Blaney Revision. The Authorized has been updated more than once. In fact, the Oxford Bible and Cambridge editions have some differences. If you pick up an actual 1611 it reads very differently from what we have today. Interesting fact: When the 1611 was published the letter ‘J’ had not yet been developed in English. Before the letter J came around, the original letter was the I. Look it up.
I think it is so sad when someone like this says we do not have a perfect translation of the Bible. One thing God made clear was that He was going to preserve His Word and that it would last forever. I am thankful that when I read my Bible, I can trust every word and I don’t have to wonder if the verse should be there or not. I believe every word of my Bible. Let God be true and every man a liar. If part of your Bible is wrong, then how can you trust any of it and how will you know what to trust. One quote I hate is, “this is older and better.” Who determines if it’s better, not God but man. I will still with the KJV, perfectly preserved in our English language
@@MargaretEiblThe Greek word in John 14:2 literally means "an abode," a place to live. Look it up for yourself: "Mansion" is not a good translation. If a fancy house is what you're hoping for in heaven, it's kinda missing the point!
The Greek word is generally translated as a dwelling place. What good is a mansion in Heaven? Aren't we supposed to be worshiping God for who He is and what he has done in Christ?
I was instructed in 2004 by the Holy Spirit to stick with the KJV. I was told, "Do not lean to the left, nor the right." I didn't know why at the time, but I did what the spirit told me. I understood two years later when I read a different version. Here's what I found. When you remove or add certain words, it give the reader the idea that this is the only meaning to what the scripture is stating. In example, when the KJV Bible state thou shall not kill, there's many ways in which we may kill someone without knowing. The other versions leave the readers attaching man's limited definition of what to kill does and could mean. Long story made short, the KJV was TRANSLATED from the original God inspired text, and the newer versions are man's INTERPRETATION to what was translated(theses words are similar BUT not the same). The Bible is clear about if you add or subtract ANYTHING from it. Hence, why the Christian community is so divided. There's more to add to this but this is one tidbit. Amen.
@bibletruthbeingtold5673 Exactly spot on sister, also, when the words are changed, removed, or added to, it makes it nearly impossible for the scripture to interpret itself with other scripture properly to receive the full revelation of the word, especially concerning the parables. God is perfect, and every word that is written in scripture is by no mistake. The word of God says don't add or take away from the word for a reason. there are no errors with God. And, also, what I notice is that many times I hear people say that they don't like to read the KJV because it's hard to understand, not realizing that it is not by accident for which it is written that way. The word of God is Spirit and the things of God can only be known by the Spirit of God which take time to digest and requires patience on our part to wait on God's Holy Spirit who will teach us all things and not man.
1 Corinthians 2:9-11 (KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 (KJV) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Thank you for shining a light on the issue of manuscript differences with your audience! You did a great job of emphasizing that the manuscript variance with this verse does not impact the doctrine that the Bible teaches. This is also true of the other small number of manuscript differences that we see in a handful of other verses, as well. Christians, along with academia in general, should marvel at how remarkably well-preserved the Bible is. There is no other document in the history of the world that even comes remotely close to the scale in which God's word has been preserved.

I didn't know that! That there's no other document in the world that comes close to the preservation of the Holy Bible. Wonderful!! It's only how it should be, I know, but it's still wonderful! Makes me happy!
@@RefutingUnitarians You argue with professional archeologists? So a non vaxer, eh? Conspiracies too. The early Bible is fiction and you never check the credibility. Yawn.
@@martinkent333 Surprise, surprise -- you again have no actual argument. There's a plethora of archaeological and historical evidence not only for Exodus, but for the rest of the Bible.

Jesus, the Gospel writers, Paul, and the other Epistle writers did NOT speak English. The New Testament was written mostly in Greek, not English. Certainly not King James English. The English Standard Version, and several other modern versions, are not changing God's Word simply because they differ from the King James Version; they are relying on the oldest possible Greek manuscripts that make up all the books of the New Testament. We have NO original manuscripts, no original Bible. Those who are convinced that the KIng James Version is the original are very mistaken, and they are not doing God's will when they insist that all Christians MUST stick to the KJV, becoming a burdensome stumbling block to believers who DO rely on the Greek, which is what we are supposed to be doing if we are seeking accuracy. This is not a new phenomenon. Christians have been aware of this for many centuries. Ask yourself this: What were Christian believers relying upon prior to the publication of the KIng James Version in 1611?
@@dannoland Exactly! So many people in America are under the impression that King James is the original, the only true Bible. Which is absurd. That language is outdated. We say, "let the children come to me" now, not "suffer the children to come unto me." Suffer no longer means what it did in King James' day. So why are we speaking like that and reading that? It's very bizarre.
The same applies to 1 John 5:7 1 John 5:7 - _For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one._ (KJV) 1 John 5:7 - _For there are three that testify:_ (ESV)
The cases are not the same. The I John 5:7 text has no ancient Greek manuscript that includes these words. The majority of the ancient witnesses support 'who walk not according to the flesh' and a good majority of those include 'but according the Spirit'.
@@blackukulele you’re absolutely correct! The reason that those words are included is to justify the Trinity, which was a later in the second or third century doctrine and I’m trying to remember the so-called church father from of all places Egypt that came up with it. The unity in that Trinity the way it’s presented is that it’s a closed group. It doesn’t allow for the plan of salvation to include the children of God as actually having the God DNA for lack of a better term plus the human DNA from their parents. Of course, the word that became flesh Jesus Christ if you want to use that analogy has both the human DNA and the God DNA. The Trinity duction would have you believe that we won’t really be children of God will be more like some house pet like a dog or a cat, but not God, but we are supposed to become children of God and you can’t square that with a Trinity doctrine God in three persons. I don’t really know what else was left out but this one definitely belongs dumped because it wasn’t in the Stevens text of 1556, which was a translation of the step two I’m pretty sure
You made a great point that MOST modern translations go back to original manuscripts. Many think they are translated from the KJV bible. It is so important to research when you are choosing what translation to read. A "parallel" Bible of 2-4 translations side by side is very helpful!
No one has or claims to have the original manuscripts. What they claim is “oldest and best”. There are two manuscripts that they base this claim on, Sinai and Vatican (Sinaiticus and Vaticanus). Both manuscripts contain many archaeological issues that would undermine their claims of antiquity and reliability when closely examined. They have not been carbon dated and instead are dated based on the “shape of the letters” or “paleography”. Check out the book “Neither Oldest Nor Best” by Dr. David Sorenson for a great introduction to this topic. May God bless this message to you in Jesus’ name.
@@wawabbit They go back to the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts that were used to write the original King James Bible. That way they are translating from the original language into the modern language. This is the same thing that the KJV did except the translation was into the language of their day with all the "Thee and Thou" type speech.
@@sarahkelly7825 It wasn't the language of their day. Thee and Thou and ye were used to differentiate between singular and plural. As in when Jesus said, 'Ye must be born again', this was showing EVERYONE must be born again, not just Nicodemus.
This is what it's supposed to say: Romans 8:1 1 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 2 Why? Because the Torah of the Spirit, which produces this life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the “Torah” of sin and death.
So He died fulfilling His Old Testament prophecy about Himself so that you would know He was God and give up your sins and keep His Commandments sinner. Revelation 1:17-18 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last, And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).

First of all that was at the end of Revelation talking about the book of Revelation. But, there are warnings for leading people astray ( wolves in sheeps clothing) .
Ironically, that verse was translated in the KJV by Desiderius Erasmus, who literally had to "remove and add" from the text because he had to do patchwork in order to complete Revelation in King James' strict deadline. The vatican wouldn't let him borrow the Greek manuscripts he needed to complete the work, so he had to interchange Latin with Greek and then somehow, had to figure out how to get it into the Old English of the KJV. Just read the preface the KJV translators wrote, it has all that important information. By the way, that's not to say that the translation of Revelation in the KJV is bad, because it's not. God can still use it to put forth His Word!
@@Doni5717846 Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV) Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Proverbs 30:6 (KJV) Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
This is not the only verse they have removed from the Bible! I’m staying with the KJV…as it’s… in my estimation… the most trustworthy! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!😊
What do you mean by "Removed"? Could the KJV have "Added" words to Scripture? Like in almost always calling Jesus Christ the Lord Jesus Christ? At that point, the original manuscript had only Jesus Christ. Why add to Scripture?
@herrera3499 KJV is the original Bible written by the Apostles & Prophets with help of Holy Spirit. Read: DEUTERONOMY 4:2 & REVELATION 22:18-19. All the other bibles have watered down & remove or change the words in the scriptures.
@@Guli-Noga , I understand that is the position taken by defenders of the KJV. I am not saying the KJV is not a good "translation". It is. But it is a translation. The only inspired Words of God are the Originals. We don't have those any longer. We have copies of copies. But the Whole Council of God can be found amongst all the translations. We cannot and should not make the KJV the Standard for Scripture Accuracy. The KJV has to be tested also. When you say removed or changed, what are you comparing it to? the KJV? That is circular reasoning. You have made the KJV the authorized version of Scripture. It was never intended to be that. Even the Translators of the KJV said so. Read the preface to the readers for the KJV.
Well, all protestant bibles removed 7 whole books, (not just words) which accomplished the same by changing the true teaching of what a full bible taught for centuries, until the protestant split from the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Which was the beginning of hundreds of splits and dozens and dozens of new bible translations that achieve an agenda, just like the agenda that broke apart the church in the first place. It's all about modernism, agendas, lifestyle acceptance, feelings, etc. TRUTH is found in a bible prior to the split of the church. No bible afterwards is 100% of what the first compilation of it was by the church in the late fourth century, which had 73 books until protestants removed 7 making their versions with 66 books. Now we have so many changes it has completely altered the Apostolic faith, past down for centuries first by teaching and Tradition, which then was also written and compiled into a single book, while also continuing Tradition. The big split in the fifteen hundreds was the beginning of the destruction of true Christianity.
Even your church has re-translated and revised your own translations of the Bible numerous times since the Douay Rheims came out in the 1600's. My Douay Rheims is actually Confraternity in places. The Confraternity itself was revised several times, and the RSV-CE was revised from the actual RSV. The NAB was translated from the same Nestle-Aland codice that other modern translations used. Your own church uses the RSV-CE primarily, and it's a Protestant based translation, with some very few Catholic friendly revisions (as well as the extra OT books). As for the apostolic faith, the orthodox and many other ancient denominations from parts of Asia and Africa -- some of which were founded by apostles -- probably have a different opinion than you do.
@chriscampbell9191 I agree "my" church has done the laity a great disservice, especially in the past 60 years. They have pretty much destroyed the church's worldly half, but what they can't destroy is her divinity. Like Christ himself who is both man and God, the church He established is also both human and Divine, since Christ is the head of the church, and the church also reining in heaven is made up of His most holy mother, the apostles, all of the saints, and an uncountable number of angels. So even if a portion of the human element of the church turns against Him as Judas did, the remaining faithful will always be His. Nothing can destroy the entire church, the divine will always exist, which is because of His Body and Blood that we humbly receive and the grace we get for doing so.
Woe to any man which removes any or adds to the LIVING WORD OF JEHOVAH GOD. This is also in the BIBLE. The LION IS COMING, Pray and prepare yourselves America and world. ACTS 2: 38, II CHRONICLES 7: 14, DEUT 29: 27-29 Tick Tock America and world...time as you've known it, is short.
@@yb5515not one Christian leader claimed the books in the Apocrypha belonged in the Canon until 1150. The Apocrypha was decreed to be canonical at the Council of Trent in 1546. The Reformation started in 1517. Jerome's Vulgate included the deuterocanonical books as well as apocrypha. Jerome referenced and quoted from some as scripture despite describing them as "not in the canon" Luthers version of the Bible includes them just in their own section. As does the originam KJV. And a number of Denominations include them as, the deuterocanonical books suitable to be read for "example of life and instruction of manners, but yet doth not apply them to establish any doctrine" They were included in lists as far back as 382AD, and some of the books as far back as the 200s.But there were a number of other books also that some Christians read in different places at the beginning few centuries that no one believes are part of scripture. The Jewish Bible does not have them either. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, deuterocanonical means that a book is part of the corpus of the Old Testament (i.e. is read during the services) but has secondary authority. The idea that Luther took them out is not true. He just agreed with different Saints in history who said they were good to read but didnt have the authority of Scripture. Plus Jesus never quoted from them.

Hey Matt!, I like alot of things you've said in some of your videos, but, brother, I have to tell you that, You must Repent of what you've said in this video, cus, you just taught that we can use all translations of the Bible in English, and that there all inspired, and that the KJV isn't the Word, or that it isn't "enough" of God's word!?, brother, that's blasphemous!, listen, you've got to understand that, God said he doesn't want us all to be teachers, lest we sin in teaching something that is wrong and cause others to sin, or lest, being a novice, and filled with pride, we condemn ourselves in our human carnal understanding of doctrine and get in trouble with the LORD because we are unable to repent of the false doctrine we have believed ourselves, or have taught others to believe and were afraid now to tell them the truth because we might get hate and rejection for telling them the truth.And now this is the sad part, you have just taught tons of brothers and sisters in Christ, to believe most of the false doctrine that the world spews, and you just unknowingly propagated it, why? Because you've been decieved into thinking that this doctrine you've learned is right, and now you have taught that God's Word in English( the KJV) is not the right and only translation in the English tongue,but that we need another translation, or more so, all these other translations which will supposedly further the deeper meaning of the Scriptures, this you have taught in this video, and you said that words were missing in The KJV, you are unknowingly doing what the devil wants you to do, that is, teach that all translations are inspired, and that they are all profitable, that's a lie from the Devil, Jesus said that He would preserve His word forever in Psa 12:7, God inspired David to write this that he said in Psalms, 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.[Which is the seven Bibles from Tyndales to the KJB , that England has made into English, that was getting more and more accurate, until the perfected word for word in meaning, KJV, came to be,] 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Which mean from Moses to David to now in old English, God has preserved His word forever, or else He wouldn't have said through His prophet Isaiah that we are to "seek ye out of the book of the LORD" in Isa 34:16, which means not every Bible is the word of God,but one is,the Kjv, and God warned about His word being changed in modern versions in Rev 22: 17-18, Anyway brother repent of your teaching in this video and tell people the TRUTH of the Words that God has made me tell you. Love you brother, and I pray you do better in Jesus Christ's Almighty name! Amen.
@@kevinbrown9378 The KJV is a good translation, but there are a number of good translations. The KJV is not “THE” inspired English translation. You might prefer the KJV. No problem there. But “KJV only” is false. In the same way I could say that God’s only inspired Word is the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. So I believe in the “Manuscript only” position 🙄 See how it works… We are blessed to have many good Bible translations, and in many languages today. Yes, there are bad “translations” too. But there are multiple good translations that are available to us in English.
@lionoffireraw that's a lie, don't decieve yourself so easily, God is powerful enought to preserve His word, for Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away, Go and read the translators of the KJV in the Didicatory and see what they say about the KJV being translated from the Orginal sources of the Hebrew and Greek, and go and watch the video that I supplied in the comments, and have a view of his channel.
Well done my friend. It is good for this old retired preacher who has been preaching for over 50 years to see young men who obviously love the word of God and are carrying on the ministry of the word. God bless.
I have an extremely old version of the King James Bible written from the 1611 translation. In it he is called Prince James, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland Defender of the Faith and it is called Holy Bible rather then King James Bible. It includes "The Epistle Dedicatory" written under his name, something not in the new King James Bibles. It also contains many differences to the new KJV, many words that differ and as a result I find the meanings sometimes differ as a result. To change a word alters the context and can sometime create confusion and questions. My wife who was raised on the new version even has issues with the wording of my old bible, telling me I am wrong or that it is wrong because hers is worded differently and she doesn't like the wording of mine. Even though hers was written far after, she feels mine is the one that's wrong. Her explanation is that the newer version was worded in such a way to make it easier for people to understand but to me I find it misdirects people by it's altered meanings and exemption of some text. Words can be powerful tools and when they are altered just in the slightest, they can have altered meaning altogether. Some of the passages when read from the older bible then compared to the newer one seem to come across totally different, having an almost total different meaning.
1611 is the original, but almostyt impossible to understand. The KJV I have is from the 1800's and it is the Real Word of God.. 1611 they talked differently
@@glenw-xm5zf 1611 is the original translation. The 1800 version changes many of the words. Words have meanings and a single change can cause confusion or conflict in a statement. When looking at what someone says, the wording is crucial, just altering a single word, eliminating some of the context (so it is taken out of context) or misusing a word can give a statement a whole different meaning. This is why we see so many contradiction. Contradictions because a man decided to change the words of God in the 1800. God doesn't make mistakes or need corrections. Look at the wording of King James from 1611, he calls himself Prince James, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and he did not call the Bible King James Bible but Holy Bible. Why, because yes he is king over the lands but in the Bible, God is King and he is a servant to God. He was a King under God, but a Prince to God. People get it wrong, God doesn't. If a word of man contradicts the word of God, it is the man that is false and his belief. The original translation followed God's true words. "This" updated Bible was created by a man who wanted to contradict the words of God and make it their own. So it will always find contradiction in itself and what it teaches and the religion that uses it will always have the same problems, never completely unified or completely understanding the messages set forth by God since they are changed by man. Corinthians 6 is a good example for this.
I love you as a brother in Christ and pray for you every day. I also really appreciate your channel and have learned a lot from you. Since I grew up with the KJV I'm staying with it! I still read and study from my Scofield KJV that I've had for many years and is very precious to me. Thanks Matt.
The KJV is the closest translation to text as written. It does not take poetic license or make theological decisions based on any biase. This makes it the best version for studying the Word.
💯🎯 As you pointed out other Bible translations are done by translating from the ancient manuscripts not from the KJV… maybe people who cling to theories that certain translations are inaccurate need to learn koine Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew and look at it for themselves. Just a thought.
I respectfully disagree. The KJV was translated word for word from the Textus Receptus and the other translations were translated from the Alexandrian text which came from Alexandria Egypt and those manuscripts were corrupted and had missing texts and added texts. The KJV scholars knew of the Alexandrian text but purposely did not use it. The modern translations also contain numerous contradictions all throughout the Bible. I am not KJV only, read what you want to read, but the KJV is by far the best and most reliable translation of the Bible bar none. God said he would preserve his word forever in Psalms 12:7 (says something different in other translations) and I believe he did so in the KJV. In my humble opinion, the KJV is the perfect word of God in English.
@ the debates can be settled by juxtaposing the KJV to any modern translations. You’ll find multiple contradictions in the newer modern versions. None in the KJV
I was told NIV was published by the same publisher who published 'the joy of gay sex'.and has many Holy Scriptures removed.I am sorry that I don't remember which ones,but at the time I checked and it is true.without The Holy Spirit,we have no relationship.without a relationship with God,we are just lip service.I believe.Good video.God Bless you Matt.✝️🛐
Romans 8:1 in the King James Version of the Bible states, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
No more choir, no more organ/piano. loud guitars a booming drums instead. No songs from the hymnals, just worldy rock beat repetitive meaningless crap. looking for a real church, in a town fv 120,000 Thing is, so few see a problem with this and their explanations to justify it are at best; annoying. The wrong people are calling the shots. Thanks Rick Warren, but NO thanks
We still have to be careful of any modern translations of the Bible, because I believe some of them may have changed the doctrine by omitting it, and then expect the reader to read the footnote, when it was never needed to be put in a footnote in the first place. There is nothing wrong with the KJV, and a point of interest, the KJV comes from the manuscripts from Antioch of Syria, while most (if not all the other modern day translations) come from the manuscripts out of Alexandria, Egypt, which are riddled with issues and do not agree with one another. The manuscripts from Egypt are the ones Roman Catholicism uses.
If you had written "many modern translations" instead of "any modern translations", your comment would have been correct. Actually, the ALT is, without doubt, the most accurate Bible in the English language.
The Textus Receptus used by the KJV translators. Manuscripts compiled by a Catholic monk and dedicated to the Pope. Then the KJV only cult say that modern translations based on older more accurate manuscripts are "Vatican versions". The wilful ignorance of the KJV only cult is painful.
The words know and understand sounds the same don't they? I remember years ago I had the KJV and in the story of lot, it reads bring the Angels out so we can know them. Meaning sex. But in another Bible version, my friend had said to bring them out so we can understand them. Just that one word changed the whole meaning. So we do need to be careful. Take care
Mm, indeed it makes sense. Though it should be pointed out that there, technically, it was only that particular book that Jesus was warning about changing. Not talking about the rest of the books and letters included in our Bible. There might be another verse that covers those too. . .
Thank you for the video. As a Spirit filled Bible student of 37 years, I agree with it 100%. There will always be things to debate or argue about. No English version of the Bible is perfect. "Do not be deceived". This is why it is a CRUCIAL TRUTH that one MUST be born again, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. One will thus be "walking in the spirit". "them which are in Christ Jesus" means "them that are walking in the spirit", which is definitely NOT "walking in the flesh". John 4:24 'God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' Hallelujah!
This is correct that should be little "s" not big S, the Born again trail by dave roberson explains this almost 90% of new testament has wrong capitalization
It is interesting to note that KJV vs modern translations use different manuscripts. It is also interesting to note that the KJV translators sometimes used a manuscript which was edited by a guy who used no textual references i.e. some verses aren't even found in a manuscript, he added or interpreted them in his own way. So always good for anyone to make sure they understand where their translation comes from, use multiple different ones based on multiple different manuscripts and understand that modern translations are in a sense more accurate (some like the ESV, LSB, NASB etc), while some are less accurate in their translation but try to convey more thought (like NIV, NLT etc... ). I personally use the NKJV and LSB. My wife uses the ESV and KJV... The important thing is to actually study the Bible, not just read it... Think, understand and learn.
It may have been left out in what became verse 1 BECAUSE the thought was repeated in what became verse 4. Chapters and verses were NOT in the original writings. People forget that or maybe never even knew.
The KJV is the most accurate and word for word bible. Written by god chosen the true Israelites. All these other religious books that have been altered to hide the truth are a thought for thought book for man made lies.
five different major revisions of the King James Version were produced in 1611,1629, 1638, 1762, and 1769. It is the 1769 edition which is most commonly cited as the King James Version (KJV). nothing is perfect.
Gods Catholic Church comprised & gave The Holy Bible to the world. Written in 325AD, canonized in 382AD & reaffirmed in 393AD & 397AD. Over 1500 years later, Protestants, WITHOUT GODS AUTHORITY, rewrote it, added/deleted words, verses, chapters, books m, giving their version of Gods words. Rev22:18-19. Jer26:2, 2 Pet1:20-21, 3:16 Gods Catholic Church is His Bride, the pillar and foundation of truth. The one He will return for. The only one He established, gave His Authority, Power Clergy, Doctrine, Sacraments and Teachings to, then taught and prayed everyone would remain in. Jesus Christ is the New Covenant, The Messiah the Jews waited for. His Catholic Church is the fulfillment of the Jewish faith as He is One with His Catholic Church. We’re the only ones who remain in His Church, Doctrine, Sacraments and Teachings.
Study the original language and the doctrine of the Jews leading up to Christ and first 100 years of the church it is completely changed and is only the first church by name but is not the same doctrine and how do you know God didn't give reformed translator's permission since the doctrine has changed so dramatically from the original
@@southernlady1109 The Bible says that God is the The same yesterday today and tomorrow which means he's never changing so if what you're saying is true and that they remain in his doctrine why are things that are common practice and even tradition part of the Catholic Church answer me that question with Bible verses why does the Catholic Church do things that anger God idolatry makes God angry necromancy makes God angry given praise and worship to anyone other than God makes God angry disobeying any of their commandments that is Jesus or God because Jesus is God you disobey any of those commandments that they have given you in the Bible it makes them angry like when Jesus says you should call no man father and like when the Bible says there is no mediator except for Christ which means saints and Mary are not to be used as mediators which is a commandment which if you break a commandment in your God I have no problem with people carving statues and putting them outside their church and you look at it in the way that you would a piece of art but even that you were at risk of angering God because the second commandment has always been do not make any carbon images of anything that is in the sky above or in the land or in the seas it's always been that in the Catholic Church changed it you can try to say that it's God's church so God gave them permission but then you're just messing up scripture because scripture says God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow and his word never changes according to the Bible
@@southernlady1109 what you wrote here in this comment buddy is intellectually dishonest reformed Bible translations what they do is they go back to the original Hebrew Greek and Aramaic scriptures and they translate as literally as they can word for word so if you find any words missing it is not going to be because they took words out of a Bible because each time a translation is made they always go back to the manuscripts that is every translation and I would shred lightly making those accusations because that is one of the main arguments that atheists like to use for disproving the Bible altogether is that there are translations of translations of translations and nobody knows anything says which is also intellectually dishonest and the only books in the New testament that we have that are any different than the Catholic Bible are actually zero there is no difference in our New testaments and the only books that we have taken out of the Torah that the Jewish people had is actually zero there are no books in the Torah that are not in our Bible The reason there are books is because Catholic Bibles or apocryphas have books in their Old testament that the Jews never looked to as cannon and there are reasons for this The Bible does what you would call progressive parallelism everything prior points to the present It builds and compounds but it doesn't contradict or take away In some cases things are fulfilled like prophecies or things that were meant to foreshadow or point to Christ that are fulfilled other than that God is the same today as he was yesterday and he'll be the same tomorrow but the Protestants didn't rerun nothing It is a translation there's a big difference between a copy and translation as to every right a rewrite you change the information You're arguing the wrong argument as a Catholic argument you're supposed to be making is that Catholics interpret the Bible more correctly That's actually the proper argument that you're supposed to be making which in my belief is wrong but at least it would be intellectually honest and that is actually the argument a lot of Catholic priests make when you actually go talk to one that is well educated same thing which Jewish people they will argue that Jesus is not the Messiah and they that they know how to properly translate or interpret the scripture although there are tons of Hebrew scholars who would disagree at least they're being intellectually honest and not saying that Christians rewrite stuff that's hilarious

I'm 72 years old and I never thought I'd see the day when they had the nerve to change the Bible saying it makes it easier for them to read when Jesus is already told them that the holy Spirit would help them understand the word of God so changing the Bible does it help a person understand the word of God
Hello! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you chose to talk about the NKJV. I'm French, and I have an NKJV Bible. However, my first language is French. And in French, there are also several translations.
Compare Kjv and Nkjv 1st Peter 3:3-5 and Revelation 13:16. Change of words, the word Merely added in Nkjv 1st Peter 3:3-5, the on word changed from in, check Revelation 13:16 Nkjv
I'm a big fan of the NKJV. When I first got saved and got a Bible it was a NIV. I liked that it was in English I spoke but something seemed off about it so I got an NKJV instead and have been with it ever since.🤔 I struggled with KJV English (Shakespeare English), I even went so far as to make notes to myself to translate certain words into modern English bc those words aren't written and spoken that way anymore so I could look them up for reference to understand better.😩 😮💨It got so tedious I finally gave up and bought an NKJV bible to end all that.😊🙏👍
Some thing just doesnt sit right with me with modern transaltions. Why are some transaltions gender neutral. Thousands of words are changed every time they bring out a new translation, they contradict from each other, how can that be the word of God.. i started with nlt to esv and now have a kj journal bible..
After 1981 or so the translation frenzy set in. I don't like any of the translations after the NRSV, and even it had some limited 'gender neutral' language that -- although it doesn't make it completely inaccurate -- it seems to be playing a little fast and loose with the original language. It's almost like they're trying to update the Bible constantly to get the Bible they want.
Great post. It’s all about our heart condition. When we fully give Him our heart we will want to walk in His Spirit. We will never reach total perfection but we can reach total AFFECTION!!
Just got off work and saw this. I grew up KJV only but for many years now i like the NAS bible. I stiil use KJV as well but my sister gave me her ESV bible 2 weeks before she died almost 2 years ago now. I treasure it and am getting more acquainted with this version. Thank you for all of this information and how you break it down its so good! always learning everyday ❤😂
You have just proved that teaching of doctrine should come directly from the Holy Spirit, not from man's efforts. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth...the Bible of Constantine and Luther most likely was not put together ' in the Spirit '. Teach firstly how to be constantly filled with the Spirit of Jesus, and how to have confidence in His Presence and comfort, and Godly education. Perhaps He leads you into all truth through the Bible or in other ways and means. Assuming that the Bible is the Rhema word from cover to cover does not match up with God removing our stony hearts, replacing them with soft fleshy hearts and putting his statutes and commandments into our hearts...this matches up more with being filled with the Spirit.
Thank you Matt, for that careful explanation of how important it is to read different versions in English so that we have a richer understanding of the meanings of the verses. May God continue to bless your ministry and keep you strong.
Was the Bible was originally written in English? Did Jesus speak English? I challenge you to research it for yourself. KJV is a good translation; but there are other good translations too, which speak the language we speak (20th/21st century English). Of course there are poor translations also, so we need to be discerning.
This is why I am always so confused at the people who say the KJV is the ONLY translation that you should use. I am not saying it's a bad translation at all, but based on the oldest manuscripts we have, there are other translations that seem to be much closer to a word for word translation, like the NASB or ESV.
Thing is: 150 years ago, it was the only translation in America. And everyone was happy. So along comes the new stuff and not there is contention. So does that say anything?
@@glenw-xm5zf People were happy with the Geneva Bible and then were very upset when the King James Version came out, claiming "it was a corruption of Scripture". So yes, it does say something: That contention can rise among people even when GOOD new stuff comes along.
Let the bun fight begin! Matt, you knew what would happen in here, lol. I read from six different translations because over time I wanted to find out what they are all like. Every bible is a gift from God. That’s it. I grew up KJV and still enjoy it sometimes. Now I have NRSV, NKJV, ESV, LSB, NASB ‘95 AND KJV. Each and every bible I pick up teaches me something new because a change in translation or a different type face can help us see what we may have glossed over by reading forever from one version. I love the word of God and can’t get enough of it! 📚📙📘📗📕📔📖🙏✝️💟🇦🇺
It’s once saved always saved. There’s another verse that does pretty much the same thing. Romans 8:9 in the authorized version says ‘but ye are not in that flesh but in that spirit IF so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you… another version reads ‘you are not in the flesh BECAUSE the Spirit of God dwells in you…’ notice the difference? One leaves the responsibility up to us to have the Spirit of God in us, by faith and obedience. The other leaves it out of our grasp that regardless of how we live, we have the Spirit of God.
@Dovebird7hopeJohn14 I think this is about as clear as it gets on the subject: "They, whom God has accepted in His Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by His Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved. II. This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father; upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ, the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them, and the nature of the covenant of grace: from all which arises also the certainty and infallibility thereof. III. Nevertheless, they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalency of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their preservation, fall into grievous sins; and, for a time, continue therein: whereby they incur God’s displeasure, and grieve His Holy Spirit, come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts, have their hearts hardened, and their consciences wounded; hurt and scandalize others, and bring temporal judgments upon themselves." Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 22.
@Dovebird7hopeJohn14 It's a late hour where I live, but I can't see anything in what you wrote in that comment that I disagree with. However, the teaching of Scripture is that the effect of being born again is that a believer leads a changed life. Take the Apostle Paul as an example: Before his conversion he was persecuting Christians and wanted as many of them killed as possible; after he was saved, that stopped and he instead preached the faith which he had once been determined to destroy. He wasn't sinless, however, and Romans 7 is very clear about the conflict between the old man and the new man within the believer.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting Galatians 6:8
I still am at heart a KJV only Baptist. However, I realized it's just not worth it to argue day and night with my own brothers and sisters. We're on a mission together. There are widows and orphans to feed, and the gospel go be preached. Gonna probably pick up an NIV just so I don't have to translate for others at my Young Adults group. Lol. I hope I can continue to grow this way, God willing.
KJV is one of the best translations, for sure 👍🏼 There are a number of errors in the KJV, as there are with other translations. The Textus Receptus was good for its time. The only perfect Bible is the original, in the original language.
What does a lamp represent in the KJB? How about oil? Light? Now read the parable of the 10 virgins. Half have lamps that give light, half don't. Now if a lamp represents the Word of God and Jesus is the Word of God, then what is the lamp of the wicked? Why is it the virgins thank they know Christ, but don't? Do these people know the Word of God, or someone else?
We are getting near the end if we aren't in the last seconds, so I wouldn't worry over small potatoes. I however have come to find that most Christians forget how to count to two in certain situations and this is truly amazing.
Imagine the most concerned and gentle voice you can when you read the next sentence. You don't know what you're talking about. The matter is much more complex than you realize.
A lot of people make a big deal over the very few times the early Greek manuscripts of the NT disagree. What is amazing to me is we have thousands of early manuscripts and the vast majority of the time they are in agreement.
What? When did that happen? Are you speaking about the Apocrypha? Even the Jews did not consider those books as Scripture. They never included them in their OT writings.
@@herrera3499 The Jews also never included the new testament in their bible. The original Christian bible was canonized (finalized) in 392AD at the council of Rome. It had 73 books. Martin Luther and the other protestors came along just over 1000 years later and decided that 7 of those books were offensive and had them removed.
Judges, Ruth, Ezra, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Obadiah, Jonah, & Zephaniah are also not quoted in the New Testament. Should they be removed as well?
@ , what I am saying is that those Old Testament books were in the Jewish writing and considered to be scripture. None of the apocryphal books claimed to be scripture. Yes, they may be good for historical reading, but those books never claimed to be inspired holy scripture.
Religions that broke from the Catholic church, & started their own religion, they ignored, or revised the true version of the teachings of God. Made sin a bit easier.
That church does not preach the gospel, and it teaches heresies. The real church is the body of Christ. not many in that institution aka HRChurch, and it's leader is an anti christ
So you just take their word when they say “oldest and best”? And that they went to THE greek? No, they translate from the westcott and hort greek text, which was invented in the 18:00’s and the “oldest and best” are really only two, error filled alexandrian texts one is called vaticanus(gues where that was found) and the other is siniaticus which magically appeared, looking brand new in the 18:40’s. How about you do a video for the 15 other deleted verses? Start with the one about prayer and fasting??? Mathew 17:21??? How do you teach the doctrine of fasting without that verse?
The KJV is a good translation, but there are a number of good translations. The KJV is not “THE” inspired English translation. You might prefer the KJV. No problem there. But “KJV only” is false. In the same way I could say that God’s only inspired Word is the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. So I believe in the “Manuscript only” position 🙄 See how it works… We are blessed to have many good Bible translations, and in many languages today. Yes, there are bad “translations” too. But there are multiple good translations that are available to us in English.
Er, that specific verses is the only new testament verse teaching the proper use and power of prayer and fasting, the 12 were not fasting and praying correctly and therefore lacked the power to cast out demons. This is not a minor verse on fasting but the most important, Now address my other points?
You talk about “good translations” but the point you seem to be ignorant of, is that there are TWO greek texts, very different, one the received text, which was the text of the reformation and the one that took the bible around the world, all church fathers up to 1800’s, then there came two heretics and made up a fake greek text which is what all the modern perversions use .All the false churches that guys like you attack, they use modern versions like living, message, NIV etc.
Critical verse, explaining who sinners and saints are; we know those that don't recover themselves from willful sin will not enter heaven, but us that do will hear; " well done good and faithful servent, enter into my glory". Condemnation for those not walking in the Holy Spirit, Jesus in us, condemned already!
YES exactly. KJV also has 1John 5;7-8.(the trinity explained in 1 clear verse) and as you say, you can work this out anyway. Those who are truly in Christ Jesus do not fight or argue for their right to be like the world or sin. I agree with this video. Faith is belief plus repentance (shows in action)
I know… 😅😅😅 I just jokingly tell them that I could never use anything other than the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts 😂 (making this comment highlights how ridiculous KJV only is)
@@lionoffirerawLol 😅 The purpose of all good translation is to translate the original Hebrew and Greek back into the KJV! Yet that's what many KJV Only proponents might as well say and some even truly believe the KJV was divinely inspired just like the original biblical Hebrew and Greek! It's pretty wild, I can't wrap my head around it, but that's how many of them actually think. Mark Ward has a lot of good material on the KJV Only movement on his channel, not to mention his book Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible, and just tons of other interesting things on the Bible, textual criticism, etc. 😊
Great explanation, as yes, this doctrine is carried through out the scripture's! As John also said something about this walking in the flesh, as opposed to walking in the Spirit; "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not (does not continue): whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." 1 John 3:5,6. This is the "nitty gritty" of it, as Abiding in Christ will keep one from the flesh, thus no condemnation, other wise, we are to look unto ourselves (examine ourselves) whether you are even, in the faith; 2 Corinthians 13:5. Ephesians 5:18 is indispensable!
In multiplying good fruit and growing in the holy spirit we are no longer yielding our body as instruments of unrighteousness. Seeking the approval of God on our lives that we now live unto Him.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful information. We as Christians at this end times needed to be vigilant and watchful before Satan use some terrible individuals to alter the Holy Bible. Which will go unnoticed to so many people

no need for multiple translations. We are to read our Bibles with the Holy Spirit and not to do word studies. God did not ordain more than 150 bible versions which must be 10% different from each other due to copyright laws. You seem to ignore the possiblility of a devil who is in the world and his efforts to waterdown Gods word. Do you know that the devil exists or not?
@@spod11 if there’s no need for multiple translations, then I will stick to the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.
Also note that the KJV was created over 400 years ago.
There are many words in this version that are outdated, in terms of modern English today.
I still believe that it is a good translation. But to say that it’s the one and only English translation for today is absolutely ludicrous.

Wrong. There is no higher or greater name than the eternal name of Elohim - יהוה
My KJV Study Bible has this note - Many manuscripts omit “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
It almost seems to be copied from verse 4.
Not many, but some. The many are closer to the reading of the KJV.
You don't omit what's not there originally. What you should say is that later manuscripts added it.
That verse is so important. WALK in the Soirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the Flesh. There's the key to victory
My ESV says this in the foot notes: Some manuscripts add "who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit". As does my CSB. My NKJV and my KJV say some manuscripts omit the rest of the verse. These are my study Bibles: ESV Archaeology Study Bible, KJV Study Bible, ESV Study Bible, NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, CSB Rainbow Study Bible (all the highlighting is already done, and everything is color coded by category), and ESV Journaling Study Bible (which I bought for my dad,but he'd rather use his phone, so it made it's way back onto my bookshelf) and a KJV journaling Bible. I use them all, mainly for the study notes. But my two favored ones are my ESV Archaeology Study Bible and my NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible. Those that I listed are the literal translations, which is what I stick to. I don't go for the thought for thought or the paraphrasing ones.
Removing half of the scripture doesn't make it softer. It makes it half gone. Removing scripture is a bad idea.
Which happened in the 1600's when King James of England and Scotland hired a group of scholars to have the texts changed from hebrew to english so that the people could read it for themselves. Lots of precious and valuable information was taken out of the KJV.
@@Wynn-fr6oz Not changed and not just a group of scholars. The original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts were translated by 200 English Scholars and as far as things taken out you can take that up with the Catholic church that removed over 17 books from the King James 1611.
King James aimed to unify the religious divisions in England. At the time, there were significant tensions between Catholics and Protestants, as well as various Protestant factions. A new, authoritative translation of the Bible that was accepted by all would help reduce these divisions. The existing English translations, such as the Geneva Bible, were often seen as controversial, particularly by the Anglican Church and the monarchy, due to their marginal notes that could be critical of the monarchy and the established Church.
The translation would help standardize the English language. English was evolving rapidly, and a new Bible would offer a uniform version of the scriptures for the entire country, contributing to linguistic cohesion.
While there were existing English translations of the Bible, including the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible, King James felt that they were not ideal for public worship. The Geneva Bible, for example, had been popular but contained Protestant commentary and notes that often opposed the monarchy and Anglican doctrine. The King sought a translation that would be more neutral and align with the Church of England's teachings.
The translation project was an ambitious scholarly endeavor. The scholars that King James appointed were all experts in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, to ensure the translation was accurate, clear, and authoritative. They were tasked with creating a version that would be faithful to the original texts while being readable to the English-speaking public.
The King was also seeking to assert his authority over the Church of England, which had broken away from Rome under Henry VIII. By commissioning the Bible, James asserted his control over both religious and political spheres, reinforcing the idea that the monarch had authority over religious matters in England.
In 1611, the King James Version was completed, and it has since become one of the most influential and widely read translations of the Bible in history.
The corrupt part of the CofE wants to remove parts of the bible to fir in with their woke ideas. Beware.
@@Wynn-fr6oz Seems like your ' education ' on this topic has been contaminated heavily by information, directly or indirectly, from the Vatican. Yes, the Vatican has had the power to rewrite history as well.
@@Wynn-fr6ozSame thing has happened every time the scriptures have passed through committees and been translated. That’s why on-going revelation is so crucial.
2:01 The Bible says do not add or take away from my word.
It’s talking about the original manuscripts.
The King James writers literally had to do that very thing because they were missing resources when translating the KJV. They say so themselves in the preface to the KJV they wrote and published shortly after the KJV came out. To use the King James version of that verse to condemn adding to or taking away from the Bible is very ironic.
@@lionoffireraw Aaaah! the classic 'scholarship only' based "Get out of scriptual basterdisation "Yea Hath God said" jail" card eh? Lucky for us there are no 'original' manuscripts!
The Lord really snookered himself on that one! :)
It is thought by scholars that this statement of “don’t add or detract from this book, is only about the book of Revelation not the entire Bible, since it’s only in that book.
True it's actually quite a huge warning that nobody wants to mess with. Leave the words alone.

The wonderful thing about the bible is that doctrines are not confined to one particular verse but repeated thoughout scripture.
The Bible should not be changed ever!
You need to study your chosen translation (KJV I assume, just like me) and delve into translation and meaning of words in the original language. Use Thompson and especially Stong's. There is NOT a 1 to 1 translation between English in 2024 and ancient Hebrew or Greek in 30 AD; especially with cultural contexts. Just start with the word Angel in ancient Hebrew and se how many different words were used in original text(s). The fact of the matter is that if you've gotten to the point of understanding and identifying different translations and their differences then you shouldn't close your eyes and ears to all but KJV but rather you just opened Pandoras Box to a new level of understanding and you should be using Thompson/Strongs to understand the original meaning, language and context.
That horse sailed centuries ago.
All You need is in The Bible? But First you must be a Child of God or You Will Not Understand Scripture. Never listen to TV Preachers or Pastors, etc. or Read Commentaries , other Books. All you need is in The Bible . You can Read The Whole Bible in about 80hrs , just The New Testament about 20hrs? You WILL need a Strong's Concordance and Dictionary. Some Words don't mean what We think they do. I use a Thompson Chain Reference Bible.
If you’re going to take that position- first, you need to define “the Bible.” What is it exactly that you don’t want changed?
@@dondgc2298 What might your understanding of what The Bible is or supposed to be? The Bible doesn't require definition it has however been corrupted.
Walking in the spirit, is worshipping in spirit and truth, Serving God in likeness of his character and Truth. The spirit we have is God's character, his nature, so walk in love, forgiving, gentle, longsuffer etc.
Amen

This is correct that should be little "s" not big S, watch the Born again trail by dave roberson
I still like the KJV. It is the only Bible that I own.
The KJV says in Heb.9
[15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
[16] For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
[17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
[18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. BUT the other versions substitute covenant for testament. That is non-sense. A testament conveys one parties / persons will upon their death where a covenant is an agreement between to or more living beings / persons. Hebrews 9:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a [a]covenant, there must of necessity [b]be the death of the one who made it. 17 For a [c]covenant is valid only when people are dead, [d]for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. - If you confuse who the Old Covenant is for and who the New Covenant is for as it is not the same as those under the gospel of grace who are able ministers of the New Testament you will be totally unaware of what the will of God is for yourself.
@@tims.449 You say that I could "confuse"..."who the New Covenant is for"....and (I) will be totally unaware of what the will of God is for yourself." Brother, Tim, I am 100% aware of what the "will of God" is for me---and for any man living (now) and also under the 'New testatment' --post Jesus--and that is: If any man repents of their sins and accepts Jesus as their messiah then they will be saved and live in eternity with the Lord. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow.....and that is the message of the Gospel....the KJV is perfectly clear....AND...it is not necessary to have a law degree or an English degree to argue definitions and restrictions as it relates to God's plan (to redeem man from the fall). Repent. Believe in Jesus. That is the will of God.
Just be weary that newer versions of the KJV have their own edits weaseled in; the older copies are the most reliable.
@@IrisJoens Agreed
@@OwenAllen-z9b Owen, if you love Jesus, you will do his commandments.
If you don't love Jesus, you won't go to heaven.
Here, from the Douay Rheims:
There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
Because Jesus Christ died for their sins. They don't need the law anymore. Law is for the law breakers. Your old sins are forgiven. Sin no more or repent confessions made by the spirits. Spirit is what you speak . Spirit good 👍 or evil. John 1- 4 chapters . Acts 2-6 chapters. Hebrews chapters 11-13. Philippians 2-4 chapters, Colossians 1-3 chapters
Which Douay Rheims? Just curious. I thought I had a genuine one, but it looks like it's NT is Confraternity, although it says 'Douay Rheims' in the front pages. The Confraternity is apparently different from the original Douay Rheims. What's interesting about the Douay Rheims and KJV is that the translators of each one were influenced in the translation style by the other.
I wouldn't take too much notice of the Douay Rheims translation. It's had so much stuff added that is specifically Roman Catholic, that it can barely be regarded as a translation of the Bible.
@@Cailean_MacCoinnich I disagree wholeheartedly. Compare it side by side with KJV or even an RSV, the content (aside from the Apocrypha, which the Catholics deem canonical) remains the same. The Douay is no different from a KJV than an RSV is. A few words are different. The content isn't changed. If by 'added' you mean the apocrypha books, many Protestant Bibles had them, especially the Anglican translations like the New English Bible and New Oxford Annotated RSV. The Apocrypha used to be included in KJV's until the late 1800s.

No. Then surely we are measured in the same way as the thief?
@@lionoffireraw Matt, the KJV was derived, and translated from the Received Text, the Textus Receptus (TR), a printed Greek New Testament based upon the majority of ancient handwritten New Testament manuscripts. The manuscripts that were used to create the Textus Receptus are known as the Traditional or Byzantine Text.
Romans 8:1. from the Textus Receptus:
*Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα*
The Morphological Greek New Testament text (which the ESV and other more contemporary Bibles use) is render as:
*οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ*
Hence the difference in English translation.
However, personally, and although it is only recorded in verse 8:4, I believe that the more accurate translation is the King James, because it helps express what Paul is trying to convey better.
What Paul is saying, and what he means by *That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit* is...
That this *righteousness* has NOTHING to do with Deuteronomy 6:25., or walking in the *flesh* and trying to earn an insufficient righteousness.
Instead, that this sufficient *Righteousness is for those who (are in Christ Jesus)* who walk after (or according to) the Spirit. Romans 10:3, 4.
How can you fully understand a text if the text has been omitted? One of the most well known omissions is Acts 8:37. By removing this verse, the requirement “to believe” is done away with for salvation. Another common omission is 1 John 5:7 which states the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one. How can removing a verse addressing the Trinity of God lead to an understanding of the Trinity? Furthermore, not all translations have footnotes. The KJV text does not have a copyright, but the NIV does. Every time the NIV gets revised (and there have been many revisions), a new copyright is created and more money is made. Tell me why “a better translation” has to be revised so regularly? In 1996, the “New International Version Inclusive Language Edition” was published in the UK which included gender-neutral language. Should the Bible be revised to conform to modern society’s social perspectives? Were these revisions about gender inclusion based on original manuscripts? Of course not. The Bible should change us, not us changing it. Sorry, but I fully disagree with your stand on translations.
right on,i dont trust any of these new translations either. woe on to them that defile the word of God for money or anything else
Yes, the only verse (1 John 5:7) that actually confirms the Trinity has been taken out. I don’t understand why.
Then you shouldn't trust your KJV because you are probably not reading the 1611 version but a later revision, especially the one brought out in 1769.
@@susangraham1203 One of my early Bible study teachers told me it was taken out because; it was not in the earlier manuscripts. He also said that if you use this on a JW, they will laugh at you because of this. There are plenty of other verses which show the deity of our Father, His Son , and the Holy Spirit. If we study , we can rightly handle the word of truth, and you know I'm not the first to say that. Example 2 Cor. 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit" . Says the Holy Spirit is God. There are verses for the Lord Jesus Christ too, so you can show the deity of each.

I don't use the modern translations due to the fact that the majority are from Westcott and Hort, who brought forth their translation based on the Vaticanus and Alexandrian texts. Both Westcott and Hort were occultists. When I first got saved, I got a KJV Bible and struggled through it. I then got an NIV and as I read through it, the verses didn't sound right. I compared it to my KJV and the NIV sounded like man said it and the KJV was of ALMIGHTY GOD. After I found three major differences, I checked my NIV and haven't looked back since. All the problems I found were wrong translations in the old testament.
Exactly, it's a well documented fact that Westcott and Hort literally used to speak to the dead in their churches. On top of this, Sinatiacas was written by Constanine Simmonides in 1840, and Vaticanus came out of the Vatican. People don't know it, but these newer translations are not translating from the original Greek. They are using Westcott and Horts' corrupted text, which has over 27 editions.
@williamlugmayer3429 How do you know they were wrong translations in the Old Testament? How could you know what was the right translation?
Why is my comment dissappearing?
NIV is translated thought-for-thought. KJV was translated word-for-word... But in the English from 400 years ago. That's why you see those differences. I'd encourage you to try comparing modern word-for-word translations, such as ESV, NASB, CSB, Legacy Standard Bible, to name a few.
You said it perfectly. NIv is terrible imo. aSo the KJV is a bit tricky to follow. Great. it makes us slow down and if we do that; we might even 'hear' God's voice. i know i have, many times
When I was saved the KJV was the Bible which was used and it's still the version I use today.
That is a significant difference because it defeats the importance of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which is what Christians need to be focusing in on, and not the flesh.
If you read the verse in Greek it is really explaining that those who are in Christ Jesus walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh…..so the first part of the Verse lays out that there is no condemnation for those in Christ and the Second part is stating why, so it’s not saying what people think it’s saying because some people believe you can be in Christ and walk according to the flesh but the Verse is telling you that people in Christ doesn’t walk according to flesh but the Spiri, you may not walk perfectly
The battle is then between the dominant soul and the regenerated Spirit there lies the real challenge.Do we surrender completely , your soul ( flesh) will battle for its supremacy it has always had.
@@DaChristianYute and even reading in English, or whatever ones native language, if you look at the preceding text it does lay out what you're saying. Romans 8:1 "Therefore..." referring back to what he was saying at the end of chapter 7, my paraphrase, wretched man that I am who will save me because I do what I don't want to do and don't do what I should do, serving God in my mind ( my intent, purpose, will to do right) and serving sin in my flesh ( my weakness, my reactions, my succumbing to do wrong) Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ, my substitute to my sin. What then, shall I purposefully sin, of course not, but when I do, I know I am covered by the undeserved grace of my Savior.
In that case I guess I'm going to hell. I see no way possible to "walk in spirit" in this world. No matter how saved we think we are we are not a spirit until we die.
@ no friend, walk in the Holy Spirit that was Given to you the moment you are saved
@@DaChristianYute True, as no man can call Jesus Lord without the Spirit of God. But to walk victorious, one must do as Ephesians 5:18 instructs, as this is how one walks in the Spirit, by being filled "with the Spirit" ! How? Luke 11:13.
2 Esdras 7:75
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

That KJV Bible was written some 2 to 5,000 manuscripts by 50 PhDs! I'M STAYING WITH KING JAMES BIBLE!
The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible was written by a committee of 47 scholars and clergymen under the supervision of Richard Bancroft, the archbishop of Canterbury. The KJV was published in 1611.
Those 50 PhDs have their interpretations colored by the same theology and doctrines of the 3rd century that have been used to keep Christ's promised "spirit of truth" at bay for 2000 years.
Even the KJV has been changed.
@leegmc1985 if you look at dates of printing before 2000 you know it's not updated !
@@jimmytaylor1570The most common KJV bible in the modern era is the 1769 Blaney Revision. The Authorized has been updated more than once. In fact, the Oxford Bible and Cambridge editions have some differences. If you pick up an actual 1611 it reads very differently from what we have today. Interesting fact: When the 1611 was published the letter ‘J’ had not yet been developed in English. Before the letter J came around, the original letter was the I. Look it up.
I think it is so sad when someone like this says we do not have a perfect translation of the Bible. One thing God made clear was that He was going to preserve His Word and that it would last forever. I am thankful that when I read my Bible, I can trust every word and I don’t have to wonder if the verse should be there or not. I believe every word of my Bible. Let God be true and every man a liar. If part of your Bible is wrong, then how can you trust any of it and how will you know what to trust. One quote I hate is, “this is older and better.” Who determines if it’s better, not God but man.

I was instructed in 2004 by the Holy Spirit to stick with the KJV. I was told, "Do not lean to the left, nor the right." I didn't know why at the time, but I did what the spirit told me. I understood two years later when I read a different version. Here's what I found. When you remove or add certain words, it give the reader the idea that this is the only meaning to what the scripture is stating. In example, when the KJV Bible state thou shall not kill, there's many ways in which we may kill someone without knowing. The other versions leave the readers attaching man's limited definition of what to kill does and could mean. Long story made short, the KJV was TRANSLATED from the original God inspired text, and the newer versions are man's INTERPRETATION to what was translated(theses words are similar BUT not the same). The Bible is clear about if you add or subtract ANYTHING from it. Hence, why the Christian community is so divided. There's more to add to this but this is one tidbit. Amen.
Actually, all more recent translations are drawing from the same manuscripts that the KJV was translated from.
KJV is a good translation for sure
@bibletruthbeingtold5673 Exactly spot on sister, also, when the words are changed, removed, or added to, it makes it nearly impossible for the scripture to interpret itself with other scripture properly to receive the full revelation of the word, especially concerning the parables. God is perfect, and every word that is written in scripture is by no mistake. The word of God says don't add or take away from the word for a reason. there are no errors with God. And, also, what I notice is that many times I hear people say that they don't like to read the KJV because it's hard to understand, not realizing that it is not by accident for which it is written that way. The word of God is Spirit and the things of God can only be known by the Spirit of God which take time to digest and requires patience on our part to wait on God's Holy Spirit who will teach us all things and not man.
1 Corinthians 2:9-11 (KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14 (KJV) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Thank you for shining a light on the issue of manuscript differences with your audience! You did a great job of emphasizing that the manuscript variance with this verse does not impact the doctrine that the Bible teaches. This is also true of the other small number of manuscript differences that we see in a handful of other verses, as well. Christians, along with academia in general, should marvel at how remarkably well-preserved the Bible is. There is no other document in the history of the world that even comes remotely close to the scale in which God's word has been preserved. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will not pass away.

Jesus, the Gospel writers, Paul, and the other Epistle writers did NOT speak English. The New Testament was written mostly in Greek, not English. Certainly not King James English. The English Standard Version, and several other modern versions, are not changing God's Word simply because they differ from the King James Version; they are relying on the oldest possible Greek manuscripts that make up all the books of the New Testament. We have NO original manuscripts, no original Bible. Those who are convinced that the KIng James Version is the original are very mistaken, and they are not doing God's will when they insist that all Christians MUST stick to the KJV, becoming a burdensome stumbling block to believers who DO rely on the Greek, which is what we are supposed to be doing if we are seeking accuracy. This is not a new phenomenon. Christians have been aware of this for many centuries. Ask yourself this: What were Christian believers relying upon prior to the publication of the KIng James Version in 1611?
@DavidinMiami Yes, and what about the other 6,000 or so languages of the world? Are they supposed to learn English so they can understand the KJV?

1 John 5:7 - _For there are three that testify:_ (ESV)
I find that the KJV is far more detailed, self-explanatory and helps better, so, just my take on it.
The cases are not the same. The I John 5:7 text has no ancient Greek manuscript that includes these words. The majority of the ancient witnesses support 'who walk not according to the flesh' and a good majority of those include 'but according the Spirit'.
1 John 5:7 is a spurious text.
@@blackukulele you’re absolutely correct!
The reason that those words are included is to justify the Trinity, which was a later in the second or third century doctrine and I’m trying to remember the so-called church father from of all places Egypt that came up with it.
The unity in that Trinity the way it’s presented is that it’s a closed group.
It doesn’t allow for the plan of salvation to include the children of God as actually having the God DNA for lack of a better term plus the human DNA from their parents.
Of course, the word that became flesh Jesus Christ if you want to use that analogy has both the human DNA and the God DNA.
The Trinity duction would have you believe that we won’t really be children of God will be more like some house pet like a dog or a cat, but not God, but we are supposed to become children of God and you can’t square that with a Trinity doctrine God in three persons. I don’t really know what else was left out but this one definitely belongs dumped because it wasn’t in the Stevens text of 1556, which was a translation of the step two I’m pretty sure
@@Richurd2338 I'm not anti trinitarian, but I see very little evidence that this particular verse is original.
You made a great point that MOST modern translations go back to original manuscripts. Many think they are translated from the KJV bible. It is so important to research when you are choosing what translation to read. A "parallel" Bible of 2-4 translations side by side is very helpful!
No one has or claims to have the original manuscripts. What they claim is “oldest and best”. There are two manuscripts that they base this claim on, Sinai and Vatican (Sinaiticus and Vaticanus). Both manuscripts contain many archaeological issues that would undermine their claims of antiquity and reliability when closely examined. They have not been carbon dated and instead are dated based on the “shape of the letters” or “paleography”. Check out the book “Neither Oldest Nor Best” by Dr. David Sorenson for a great introduction to this topic. May God bless this message to you in Jesus’ name.

First of all that was at the end of Revelation talking about the book of Revelation. But, there are warnings for leading people astray ( wolves in sheeps clothing) .
Ironically, that verse was translated in the KJV by Desiderius Erasmus, who literally had to "remove and add" from the text because he had to do patchwork in order to complete Revelation in King James' strict deadline. The vatican wouldn't let him borrow the Greek manuscripts he needed to complete the work, so he had to interchange Latin with Greek and then somehow, had to figure out how to get it into the Old English of the KJV. Just read the preface the KJV translators wrote, it has all that important information. By the way, that's not to say that the translation of Revelation in the KJV is bad, because it's not.

@@Guli-Noga , I understand that is the position taken by defenders of the KJV. I am not saying the KJV is not a good "translation". It is. But it is a translation. The only inspired Words of God are the Originals. We don't have those any longer. We have copies of copies. But the Whole Council of God can be found amongst all the translations. We cannot and should not make the KJV the Standard for Scripture Accuracy. The KJV has to be tested also. When you say removed or changed, what are you comparing it to? the KJV? That is circular reasoning. You have made the KJV the authorized version of Scripture. It was never intended to be that. Even the Translators of the KJV said so. Read the preface to the readers for the KJV.
Well, all protestant bibles removed 7 whole books, (not just words) which accomplished the same by changing the true teaching of what a full bible taught for centuries, until the protestant split from the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Which was the beginning of hundreds of splits and dozens and dozens of new bible translations that achieve an agenda, just like the agenda that broke apart the church in the first place. It's all about modernism, agendas, lifestyle acceptance, feelings, etc.
TRUTH is found in a bible prior to the split of the church.
No bible afterwards is 100% of what the first compilation of it was by the church in the late fourth century, which had 73 books until protestants removed 7 making their versions with 66 books. Now we have so many changes it has completely altered the Apostolic faith, past down for centuries first by teaching and Tradition, which then was also written and compiled into a single book, while also continuing Tradition. The big split in the fifteen hundreds was the beginning of the destruction of true Christianity.
Even your church has re-translated and revised your own translations of the Bible numerous times since the Douay Rheims came out in the 1600's. My Douay Rheims is actually Confraternity in places. The Confraternity itself was revised several times, and the RSV-CE was revised from the actual RSV. The NAB was translated from the same Nestle-Aland codice that other modern translations used. Your own church uses the RSV-CE primarily, and it's a Protestant based translation, with some very few Catholic friendly revisions (as well as the extra OT books). As for the apostolic faith, the orthodox and many other ancient denominations from parts of Asia and Africa -- some of which were founded by apostles -- probably have a different opinion than you do.
@chriscampbell9191 I agree "my" church has done the laity a great disservice, especially in the past 60 years. They have pretty much destroyed the church's worldly half, but what they can't destroy is her divinity. Like Christ himself who is both man and God, the church He established is also both human and Divine, since Christ is the head of the church, and the church also reining in heaven is made up of His most holy mother, the apostles, all of the saints, and an uncountable number of angels. So even if a portion of the human element of the church turns against Him as Judas did, the remaining faithful will always be His.
Nothing can destroy the entire church, the divine will always exist, which is because of His Body and Blood that we humbly receive and the grace we get for doing so.
Woe to any man which removes any or adds to the LIVING WORD OF JEHOVAH GOD. This is also in the BIBLE. The LION IS COMING, Pray and prepare yourselves America and world. ACTS 2: 38, II CHRONICLES 7: 14, DEUT 29: 27-29 Tick Tock America and world...time as you've known it, is short.

Luthers version of the Bible includes them just in their own section. As does the originam KJV. And a number of Denominations include them as, the deuterocanonical books suitable to be read for "example of life and instruction of manners, but yet doth not apply them to establish any doctrine"
They were included in lists as far back as 382AD, and some of the books as far back as the 200s.But there were a number of other books also that some Christians read in different places at the beginning few centuries that no one believes are part of scripture. The Jewish Bible does not have them either.
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, deuterocanonical means that a book is part of the corpus of the Old Testament (i.e. is read during the services) but has secondary authority.
The idea that Luther took them out is not true. He just agreed with different Saints in history who said they were good to read but didnt have the authority of Scripture. Plus Jesus never quoted from them.
Praise the Lord ✝️ Amen 🙏

I don't run ads on my Bible chatter podcast either too secular also someone that watches my Bible podcast told me that Christianity comes from Satan and man that Yahweh don't like Christianity
Hey Matt!, I like alot of things you've said in some of your videos, but, brother, I have to tell you that, You must Repent of what you've said in this video, cus, you just taught that we can use all translations of the Bible in English, and that there all inspired, and that the KJV isn't the Word, or that it isn't "enough" of God's word!?, brother, that's blasphemous!, listen, you've got to understand that, God said he doesn't want us all to be teachers, lest we sin in teaching something that is wrong and cause others to sin, or lest, being a novice, and filled with pride, we condemn ourselves in our human carnal understanding of doctrine and get in trouble with the LORD because we are unable to repent of the false doctrine we have believed ourselves, or have taught others to believe and were afraid now to tell them the truth because we might get hate and rejection for telling them the truth.And now this is the sad part, you have just taught tons of brothers and sisters in Christ, to believe most of the false doctrine that the world spews, and you just unknowingly propagated it, why? Because you've been decieved into thinking that this doctrine you've learned is right, and now you have taught that God's Word in English( the KJV) is not the right and only translation in the English tongue,but that we need another translation, or more so, all these other translations which will supposedly further the deeper meaning of the Scriptures, this you have taught in this video, and you said that words were missing in The KJV, you are unknowingly doing what the devil wants you to do, that is, teach that all translations are inspired, and that they are all profitable, that's a lie from the Devil, Jesus said that He would preserve His word forever in Psa 12:7, God inspired David to write this that he said in Psalms, 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.[Which is the seven Bibles from Tyndales to the KJB , that England has made into English, that was getting more and more accurate, until the perfected word for word in meaning, KJV, came to be,]
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Which mean from Moses to David to now in old English, God has preserved His word forever, or else He wouldn't have said through His prophet Isaiah that we are to "seek ye out of the book of the LORD" in Isa 34:16, which means not every Bible is the word of God,but one is,the Kjv, and God warned about His word being changed in modern versions in Rev 22: 17-18, Anyway brother repent of your teaching in this video and tell people the TRUTH of the Words that God has made me tell you. Love you brother, and I pray you do better in Jesus Christ's Almighty name! Amen.
@@kevinbrown9378 The KJV is a good translation, but there are a number of good translations.
The KJV is not “THE” inspired English translation.
You might prefer the KJV. No problem there. But “KJV only” is false.
In the same way I could say that God’s only inspired Word is the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.
So I believe in the “Manuscript only” position 🙄 See how it works…
We are blessed to have many good Bible translations, and in many languages today.
Yes, there are bad “translations” too.
But there are multiple good translations that are available to us in English.
@lionoffireraw that's a lie, don't decieve yourself so easily, God is powerful enought to preserve His word, for Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away, Go and read the translators of the KJV in the Didicatory and see what they say about the KJV being translated from the Orginal sources of the Hebrew and Greek, and go and watch the video that I supplied in the comments, and have a view of his channel.
@kevinbrown9378 when I see KJV fans talking about correcting the Greek from the KJV, it raises a red flag for me.
Well done my friend. It is good for this old retired preacher who has been preaching for over 50 years to see young men who obviously love the word of God and are carrying on the ministry of the word. God bless.
I have an extremely old version of the King James Bible written from the 1611 translation.
In it he is called Prince James, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland Defender of the Faith and it is called Holy Bible rather then King James Bible. It includes "The Epistle Dedicatory" written under his name, something not in the new King James Bibles. It also contains many differences to the new KJV, many words that differ and as a result I find the meanings sometimes differ as a result. To change a word alters the context and can sometime create confusion and questions. My wife who was raised on the new version even has issues with the wording of my old bible, telling me I am wrong or that it is wrong because hers is worded differently and she doesn't like the wording of mine. Even though hers was written far after, she feels mine is the one that's wrong.
Her explanation is that the newer version was worded in such a way to make it easier for people to understand but to me I find it misdirects people by it's altered meanings and exemption of some text.
Words can be powerful tools and when they are altered just in the slightest, they can have altered meaning altogether.
Some of the passages when read from the older bible then compared to the newer one seem to come across totally different, having an almost total different meaning.
1611 is the original, but almostyt impossible to understand. The KJV I have is from the 1800's and it is the Real Word of God.. 1611 they talked differently
@@glenw-xm5zf 1611 is the original translation. The 1800 version changes many of the words. Words have meanings and a single change can cause confusion or conflict in a statement. When looking at what someone says, the wording is crucial, just altering a single word, eliminating some of the context (so it is taken out of context) or misusing a word can give a statement a whole different meaning.
This is why we see so many contradiction.
Contradictions because a man decided to change the words of God in the 1800. God doesn't make mistakes or need corrections.
Look at the wording of King James from 1611, he calls himself Prince James, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and he did not call the Bible King James Bible but Holy Bible. Why, because yes he is king over the lands but in the Bible, God is King and he is a servant to God. He was a King under God, but a Prince to God.
People get it wrong, God doesn't.
If a word of man contradicts the word of God, it is the man that is false and his belief.
The original translation followed God's true words.
"This" updated Bible was created by a man who wanted to contradict the words of God and make it their own.
So it will always find contradiction in itself and what it teaches and the religion that uses it will always have the same problems, never completely unified or completely understanding the messages set forth by God since they are changed by man.
Corinthians 6 is a good example for this.
I love you as a brother in Christ and pray for you every day. I also really appreciate your channel and have learned a lot from you. Since I grew up with the KJV I'm staying with it! I still read and study from my Scofield KJV that I've had for many years and is very precious to me. Thanks Matt.
It’s a great translation!

The KJV is the closest translation to text as written. It does not take poetic license or make theological decisions based on any biase. This makes it the best version for studying the Word.
💯🎯 As you pointed out other Bible translations are done by translating from the ancient manuscripts not from the KJV… maybe people who cling to theories that certain translations are inaccurate need to learn koine Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew and look at it for themselves. Just a thought.
I respectfully disagree. The KJV was translated word for word from the Textus Receptus and the other translations were translated from the Alexandrian text which came from Alexandria Egypt and those manuscripts were corrupted and had missing texts and added texts. The KJV scholars knew of the Alexandrian text but purposely did not use it. The modern translations also contain numerous contradictions all throughout the Bible. I am not KJV only, read what you want to read, but the KJV is by far the best and most reliable translation of the Bible bar none. God said he would preserve his word forever in Psalms 12:7 (says something different in other translations) and I believe he did so in the KJV. In my humble opinion, the KJV is the perfect word of God in English.
There’s debate over which manuscripts are better. Textus Receptus was good for it’s day, for sure 👍🏼
@ the debates can be settled by juxtaposing the KJV to any modern translations. You’ll find multiple contradictions in the newer modern versions. None in the KJV
I was told NIV was published by the same publisher who published 'the joy of gay sex'.and has many Holy Scriptures removed.I am sorry that I don't remember which ones,but at the time I checked and it is true.without The Holy Spirit,we have no relationship.without a relationship with God,we are just lip service.I believe.Good video.God Bless you Matt.✝️🛐
Romans 8:1 in the King James Version
of the Bible states, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
THE KJV WHAT ? IS THAT A COMPUTER GAME ? 😳
Watering down of the gospel in that the churches never mention sin and need for repentance
No more choir, no more organ/piano. loud guitars a booming drums instead. No songs from the hymnals, just worldy rock beat repetitive meaningless crap. looking for a real church, in a town fv 120,000
Thing is, so few see a problem with this and their explanations to justify it are at best; annoying. The wrong people are calling the shots. Thanks Rick Warren, but NO thanks
Watering down the Gospel is what protestants are good at.
@@marcokite Good thing Baptists are NOT protestant!
We still have to be careful of any modern translations of the Bible, because I believe some of them may have changed the doctrine by omitting it, and then expect the reader to read the footnote, when it was never needed to be put in a footnote in the first place. There is nothing wrong with the KJV, and a point of interest, the KJV comes from the manuscripts from Antioch of Syria, while most (if not all the other modern day translations) come from the manuscripts out of Alexandria, Egypt, which are riddled with issues and do not agree with one another. The manuscripts from Egypt are the ones Roman Catholicism uses.
If you had written "many modern translations" instead of "any modern translations", your comment would have been correct.
Actually, the ALT is, without doubt, the most accurate Bible in the English language.
The Textus Receptus used by the KJV translators. Manuscripts compiled by a Catholic monk and dedicated to the Pope. Then the KJV only cult say that modern translations based on older more accurate manuscripts are "Vatican versions". The wilful ignorance of the KJV only cult is painful.
@@SamLawrence-p1o Sam, your assertion regarding the manuscripts used by the KJV translators is in error.
@@earlysda No it isn't
I only will read KJV and keep my grandmas bible in hand to compare them.

KJV IS PROTESTANT 😢
Thank you for the clarification and explaining this so well. May we all grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. I just subscribed.
Revelation warns about adding to or removing from the Word. King James version isn't hard to understand.
And this one too: "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and be found a liar" Proverbs 30:6
The words know and understand sounds the same don't they? I remember years ago I had the KJV and in the story of lot, it reads bring the Angels out so we can know them. Meaning sex. But in another Bible version, my friend had said to bring them out so we can understand them. Just that one word changed the whole meaning. So we do need to be careful. Take care
Mm, indeed it makes sense. Though it should be pointed out that there, technically, it was only that particular book that Jesus was warning about changing. Not talking about the rest of the books and letters included in our Bible. There might be another verse that covers those too. . .
Thank you brother. GOD BLESS YOU.😊
Jesus wasn’t talking about the KJV.
Thank you for the video. As a Spirit filled Bible student of 37 years, I agree with it 100%.
There will always be things to debate or argue about. No English version of the Bible is perfect. "Do not be deceived". This is why it is a CRUCIAL TRUTH that one MUST be born again, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. One will thus be "walking in the spirit". "them which are in Christ Jesus" means "them that are walking in the spirit", which is definitely NOT "walking in the flesh". John 4:24 'God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' Hallelujah!
This is correct that should be little "s" not big S, the Born again trail by dave roberson explains this almost 90% of new testament has wrong capitalization
It is interesting to note that KJV vs modern translations use different manuscripts. It is also interesting to note that the KJV translators sometimes used a manuscript which was edited by a guy who used no textual references i.e. some verses aren't even found in a manuscript, he added or interpreted them in his own way. So always good for anyone to make sure they understand where their translation comes from, use multiple different ones based on multiple different manuscripts and understand that modern translations are in a sense more accurate (some like the ESV, LSB, NASB etc), while some are less accurate in their translation but try to convey more thought (like NIV, NLT etc... ). I personally use the NKJV and LSB. My wife uses the ESV and KJV... The important thing is to actually study the Bible, not just read it... Think, understand and learn.
Satan has dealt with you well, continue.
It may have been left out in what became verse 1 BECAUSE the thought was repeated in what became verse 4. Chapters and verses were NOT in the original writings. People forget that or maybe never even knew.
The KJV is the most accurate and word for word bible. Written by god chosen the true Israelites. All these other religious books that have been altered to hide the truth are a thought for thought book for man made lies.
five different major revisions of the King James Version were produced in 1611,1629, 1638, 1762, and 1769. It is the 1769 edition which is most commonly cited as the King James Version (KJV). nothing is perfect.
Did they get the chosen notice in writing?
Remember , God always a capital G
The Original KJV ( 1611 ) didn’t have only 66 books like nowadays.
👉🏼 Revelation 22:18-19 👈🏼
Gods Catholic Church comprised & gave The Holy Bible to the world. Written in 325AD, canonized in 382AD & reaffirmed in 393AD & 397AD. Over 1500 years later, Protestants, WITHOUT GODS AUTHORITY, rewrote it, added/deleted words, verses, chapters, books m, giving their version of Gods words. Rev22:18-19. Jer26:2, 2 Pet1:20-21, 3:16 Gods Catholic Church is His Bride, the pillar and foundation of truth. The one He will return for. The only one He established, gave His Authority, Power Clergy, Doctrine, Sacraments and Teachings to, then taught and prayed everyone would remain in. Jesus Christ is the New Covenant, The Messiah the Jews waited for. His Catholic Church is the fulfillment of the Jewish faith as He is One with His Catholic Church. We’re the only ones who remain in His Church, Doctrine, Sacraments and Teachings.
Study the original language and the doctrine of the Jews leading up to Christ and first 100 years of the church it is completely changed and is only the first church by name but is not the same doctrine and how do you know God didn't give reformed translator's permission since the doctrine has changed so dramatically from the original
@@southernlady1109 The Bible says that God is the The same yesterday today and tomorrow which means he's never changing so if what you're saying is true and that they remain in his doctrine why are things that are common practice and even tradition part of the Catholic Church answer me that question with Bible verses why does the Catholic Church do things that anger God idolatry makes God angry necromancy makes God angry given praise and worship to anyone other than God makes God angry disobeying any of their commandments that is Jesus or God because Jesus is God you disobey any of those commandments that they have given you in the Bible it makes them angry like when Jesus says you should call no man father and like when the Bible says there is no mediator except for Christ which means saints and Mary are not to be used as mediators which is a commandment which if you break a commandment in your God I have no problem with people carving statues and putting them outside their church and you look at it in the way that you would a piece of art but even that you were at risk of angering God because the second commandment has always been do not make any carbon images of anything that is in the sky above or in the land or in the seas it's always been that in the Catholic Church changed it you can try to say that it's God's church so God gave them permission but then you're just messing up scripture because scripture says God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow and his word never changes according to the Bible
OK, so why do most Catholics use Protestant translations of the Bible, like the RSV-CE and NRSV-CE?
@@southernlady1109 what you wrote here in this comment buddy is intellectually dishonest reformed Bible translations what they do is they go back to the original Hebrew Greek and Aramaic scriptures and they translate as literally as they can word for word so if you find any words missing it is not going to be because they took words out of a Bible because each time a translation is made they always go back to the manuscripts that is every translation and I would shred lightly making those accusations because that is one of the main arguments that atheists like to use for disproving the Bible altogether is that there are translations of translations of translations and nobody knows anything says which is also intellectually dishonest and the only books in the New testament that we have that are any different than the Catholic Bible are actually zero there is no difference in our New testaments and the only books that we have taken out of the Torah that the Jewish people had is actually zero there are no books in the Torah that are not in our Bible The reason there are books is because Catholic Bibles or apocryphas have books in their Old testament that the Jews never looked to as cannon and there are reasons for this The Bible does what you would call progressive parallelism everything prior points to the present It builds and compounds but it doesn't contradict or take away
In some cases things are fulfilled like prophecies or things that were meant to foreshadow or point to Christ that are fulfilled other than that God is the same today as he was yesterday and he'll be the same tomorrow but the Protestants didn't rerun nothing It is a translation there's a big difference between a copy and translation as to every right a rewrite you change the information You're arguing the wrong argument as a Catholic argument you're supposed to be making is that Catholics interpret the Bible more correctly That's actually the proper argument that you're supposed to be making which in my belief is wrong but at least it would be intellectually honest and that is actually the argument a lot of Catholic priests make when you actually go talk to one that is well educated same thing which Jewish people they will argue that Jesus is not the Messiah and they that they know how to properly translate or interpret the scripture although there are tons of Hebrew scholars who would disagree at least they're being intellectually honest and not saying that Christians rewrite stuff that's hilarious
Deuteronomy 16:11
“And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD (7 th word GODS number) thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD (49 th word 7x7= 49 )thy God hath chosen to place his name there.” (777)

Other per visions change it to 6 satans number destroyed the perfect word of God watch truth in Christ 7x70 mention in the Bible Get behind me satan for I follow Jesus Christ the father Jehovah GOD and the Holy Ghost-Spirit 🙏🏾 Amen 😊
I'm 72 years old and I never thought I'd see the day when they had the nerve to change the Bible saying it makes it easier for them to read when Jesus is already told them that the holy Spirit would help them understand the word of God so changing the Bible does it help a person understand the word of God
I am stuck on the NKJV. I just think it's a wonderful translation.
As they say, though, "the best Bible is the one that's open."
Hello! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you chose to talk about the NKJV. I'm French, and I have an NKJV Bible. However, my first language is French. And in French, there are also several translations.
Too many verses are missing from NKJV.
@@dudzinski324If you compare the verses, you will see that there are no missing verses comparing the NKJV with the KJV.
Compare Kjv and Nkjv 1st Peter 3:3-5 and Revelation 13:16. Change of words, the word Merely added in Nkjv 1st Peter 3:3-5, the on word changed from in, check Revelation 13:16 Nkjv
I'm a big fan of the NKJV. When I first got saved and got a Bible it was a NIV. I liked that it was in English I spoke but something seemed off about it so I got an NKJV instead and have been with it ever since.🤔 I struggled with KJV English (Shakespeare English), I even went so far as to make notes to myself to translate certain words into modern English bc those words aren't written and spoken that way anymore so I could look them up for reference to understand better.😩 😮💨It got so tedious I finally gave up and bought an NKJV bible to end all that.😊🙏👍
Amazing how people dont even know where the kjb comes from or what has been edited... seek and ye shall find.
Some thing just doesnt sit right with me with modern transaltions. Why are some transaltions gender neutral. Thousands of words are changed every time they bring out a new translation, they contradict from each other, how can that be the word of God.. i started with nlt to esv and now have a kj journal bible..
bingo!
After 1981 or so the translation frenzy set in. I don't like any of the translations after the NRSV, and even it had some limited 'gender neutral' language that -- although it doesn't make it completely inaccurate -- it seems to be playing a little fast and loose with the original language. It's almost like they're trying to update the Bible constantly to get the Bible they want.
Great post. It’s all about our heart condition. When we fully give Him our heart we will want to walk in His Spirit. We will never reach total perfection but we can reach total AFFECTION!!
Just got off work and saw this. I grew up KJV only but for many years now i like the NAS bible. I stiil use KJV as well but my sister gave me her ESV bible 2 weeks before she died almost 2 years ago now. I treasure it and am getting more acquainted with this version. Thank you for all of this information and how you break it down its so good! always learning everyday ❤😂
I own about every translation... The ESV is beginning to be my favorite.
@GregTanner-x3t and here it is !!! The unhinged kjv onlyizm cult member! 😅
They got a style to buy for whatever fits your personal taste these days.
You have just proved that teaching of doctrine should come directly from the Holy Spirit, not from man's efforts.
The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth...the Bible of Constantine and Luther most likely was not put together ' in the Spirit '.
Teach firstly how to be constantly filled with the Spirit of Jesus, and how to have confidence in His Presence and comfort, and Godly education. Perhaps He leads you into all truth through the Bible or in other ways and means.
Assuming that the Bible is the Rhema word from cover to cover does not match up with God removing our stony hearts, replacing them with soft fleshy hearts and putting his statutes and commandments into our hearts...this matches up more with being filled with the Spirit.
Thank you Matt, for that careful explanation of how important it is to read different versions in English so that we have a richer understanding of the meanings of the verses. May God continue to bless your ministry and keep you strong.
Heaven and earth shall pass away but his word shall remain. It’s hermeneutical thanks for sharing. God bless you too !!
I fear GOD and takr his word KJV literally, don't add or take away from GOD'S WORDS!!!!!
Was the Bible was originally written in English? Did Jesus speak English? I challenge you to research it for yourself. KJV is a good translation; but there are other good translations too, which speak the language we speak (20th/21st century English). Of course there are poor translations also, so we need to be discerning.
This is why I am always so confused at the people who say the KJV is the ONLY translation that you should use. I am not saying it's a bad translation at all, but based on the oldest manuscripts we have, there are other translations that seem to be much closer to a word for word translation, like the NASB or ESV.
That is a great comment, tracy.
@GregTanner-x3t Greg, you have some anti-biblical ideas.
@GregTanner-x3t It's easier to read with paragraphs
Thing is: 150 years ago, it was the only translation in America. And everyone was happy. So along comes the new stuff and not there is contention. So does that say anything?
@@glenw-xm5zf People were happy with the Geneva Bible and then were very upset when the King James Version came out, claiming "it was a corruption of Scripture". So yes, it does say something: That contention can rise among people even when GOOD new stuff comes along.
Amen. My choice of bibles are NKJV and ESV.
The Good Lord told me that the Bible is already messed with. He wasnt kidding...
I always try to look up the Greek and Hebrew for verses.
Let the bun fight begin! Matt, you knew what would happen in here, lol. I read from six different translations because over time I wanted to find out what they are all like. Every bible is a gift from God. That’s it. I grew up KJV and still enjoy it sometimes. Now I have NRSV, NKJV, ESV, LSB, NASB ‘95 AND KJV. Each and every bible I pick up teaches me something new because a change in translation or a different type face can help us see what we may have glossed over by reading forever from one version. I love the word of God and can’t get enough of it! 📚📙📘📗📕📔📖🙏✝️💟🇦🇺
Haha I did know exactly what would happen in here 😅
I’m glad that you are blessed by all of those translations.
It’s once saved always saved. There’s another verse that does pretty much the same thing. Romans 8:9 in the authorized version says ‘but ye are not in that flesh but in that spirit IF so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you… another version reads ‘you are not in the flesh BECAUSE the Spirit of God dwells in you…’ notice the difference? One leaves the responsibility up to us to have the Spirit of God in us, by faith and obedience. The other leaves it out of our grasp that regardless of how we live, we have the Spirit of God.
So no matter how we live, there can't be any doubt that we have the Spirit of God?

@Dovebird7hopeJohn14 I think this is about as clear as it gets on the subject:
"They, whom God has accepted in His Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by His Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.
II. This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father; upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ, the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them, and the nature of the covenant of grace: from all which arises also the certainty and infallibility thereof.
III. Nevertheless, they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalency of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their preservation, fall into grievous sins; and, for a time, continue therein: whereby they incur God’s displeasure, and grieve His Holy Spirit, come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts, have their hearts hardened, and their consciences wounded; hurt and scandalize others, and bring temporal judgments upon themselves."
Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 22.
@Dovebird7hopeJohn14 It's a late hour where I live, but I can't see anything in what you wrote in that comment that I disagree with. However, the teaching of Scripture is that the effect of being born again is that a believer leads a changed life. Take the Apostle Paul as an example: Before his conversion he was persecuting Christians and wanted as many of them killed as possible; after he was saved, that stopped and he instead preached the faith which he had once been determined to destroy. He wasn't sinless, however, and Romans 7 is very clear about the conflict between the old man and the new man within the believer.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
Galatians 6:8

I still am at heart a KJV only Baptist. However, I realized it's just not worth it to argue day and night with my own brothers and sisters. We're on a mission together. There are widows and orphans to feed, and the gospel go be preached. Gonna probably pick up an NIV just so I don't have to translate for others at my Young Adults group. Lol. I hope I can continue to grow this way, God willing.
KJV is one of the best translations, for sure 👍🏼
There are a number of errors in the KJV, as there are with other translations.
The Textus Receptus was good for its time.
The only perfect Bible is the original, in the original language.

Which thread are talking about, Bob? The video presenter, or one of the individual arguments? 🤔
A lot of people make a big deal over the very few times the early Greek manuscripts of the NT disagree. What is amazing to me is we have thousands of early manuscripts and the vast majority of the time they are in agreement.
Martin Luther removed 7 whole books from the bible. No one seems to care about that!
What? When did that happen? Are you speaking about the Apocrypha? Even the Jews did not consider those books as Scripture. They never included them in their OT writings.
@@herrera3499 The Jews also never included the new testament in their bible. The original Christian bible was canonized (finalized) in 392AD at the council of Rome. It had 73 books. Martin Luther and the other protestors came along just over 1000 years later and decided that 7 of those books were offensive and had them removed.
@ , can you show me where one New Testament writer quoted from the Apocrypha? Did Jesus ever quote from those books?
Judges, Ruth, Ezra, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Obadiah, Jonah, & Zephaniah are also not quoted in the New Testament. Should they be removed as well?
@ , what I am saying is that those Old Testament books were in the Jewish writing and considered to be scripture. None of the apocryphal books claimed to be scripture. Yes, they may be good for historical reading, but those books never claimed to be inspired holy scripture.
I'm glad you pointed out the foot note. People get all up in arms but don't research why.
Religions that broke from the Catholic church, & started their own religion, they ignored, or revised the true version of the teachings of God.
Made sin a bit easier.
That church does not preach the gospel, and it teaches heresies. The real church is the body of Christ. not many in that institution aka HRChurch, and it's leader is an anti christ
So you just take their word when they say “oldest and best”?
And that they went to THE greek?
No, they translate from the westcott and hort greek text, which was invented in the 18:00’s and the “oldest and best” are really only two, error filled alexandrian texts one is called vaticanus(gues where that was found) and the other is siniaticus which magically appeared, looking brand new in the 18:40’s.
How about you do a video for the 15 other deleted verses?
Start with the one about prayer and fasting???
Mathew 17:21???
How do you teach the doctrine of fasting without that verse?
Thank you for your comment!
You don’t think the Bible teaches about fasting in multiple places?
The KJV is a good translation, but there are a number of good translations.
The KJV is not “THE” inspired English translation.
You might prefer the KJV. No problem there. But “KJV only” is false.
In the same way I could say that God’s only inspired Word is the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.
So I believe in the “Manuscript only” position 🙄 See how it works…
We are blessed to have many good Bible translations, and in many languages today.
Yes, there are bad “translations” too.
But there are multiple good translations that are available to us in English.
Er, that specific verses is the only new testament verse teaching the proper use and power of prayer and fasting, the 12 were not fasting and praying correctly and therefore lacked the power to cast out demons.
This is not a minor verse on fasting but the most important,
Now address my other points?
You talk about “good translations” but the point you seem to be ignorant of, is that there are TWO greek texts, very different, one the received text, which was the text of the reformation and the one that took the bible around the world, all church fathers up to 1800’s, then there came two heretics and made up a fake greek text which is what all the modern perversions use .All the false churches that guys like you attack, they use modern versions like living, message, NIV etc.
Critical verse, explaining who sinners and saints are; we know those that don't recover themselves from willful sin will not enter heaven, but us that do will hear; " well done good and faithful servent, enter into my glory". Condemnation for those not walking in the Holy Spirit, Jesus in us, condemned already!
The Devil IS BUSY CHANGING/ OMITTING GODS WORD IN NEW TRANSLATIONS BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS GETTING SHORT! IM STAYING WITH MY KJV VERSION!!❤
Yeap, the devil ( Christianity ) has been busy removing books bc the Original 1611 KJV doesn’t only have 66 books. 😂🤣
YES exactly. KJV also has 1John 5;7-8.(the trinity explained in 1 clear verse) and as you say, you can work this out anyway.
Those who are truly in Christ Jesus do not fight or argue for their right to be like the world or sin. I agree with this video.
Faith is belief plus repentance (shows in action)
I'm with you brother, but prepare for the masses of KJV Only proponents coming your way now for what you said! 😅
I know… 😅😅😅
I just jokingly tell them that I could never use anything other than the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts 😂 (making this comment highlights how ridiculous KJV only is)
@@lionoffirerawLol 😅 The purpose of all good translation is to translate the original Hebrew and Greek back into the KJV! Yet that's what many KJV Only proponents might as well say and some even truly believe the KJV was divinely inspired just like the original biblical Hebrew and Greek! It's pretty wild, I can't wrap my head around it, but that's how many of them actually think. Mark Ward has a lot of good material on the KJV Only movement on his channel, not to mention his book Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible, and just tons of other interesting things on the Bible, textual criticism, etc. 😊
Great explanation, as yes, this doctrine is carried through out the scripture's! As John also said something about this walking in the flesh, as opposed to walking in the Spirit; "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not (does not continue): whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." 1 John 3:5,6. This is the "nitty gritty" of it, as Abiding in Christ will keep one from the flesh, thus no condemnation, other wise, we are to look unto ourselves (examine ourselves) whether you are even, in the faith; 2 Corinthians 13:5. Ephesians 5:18 is indispensable!
In multiplying good fruit and growing in the holy spirit we are no longer yielding our body as instruments of unrighteousness. Seeking the approval of God on our lives that we now live unto Him.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful information. We as Christians at this end times needed to be vigilant and watchful before Satan use some terrible individuals to alter the Holy Bible. Which will go unnoticed to so many people
Thanks for clarifying that. Will be more observant of the footnotes from now on.
Thank you for making us aware of this Matt. God bless always 🙏🙏
