             A CRITIQUE OF THE NEW KING JAMES BIBLE


     In this article we shall use the letters JFV for the "Jerry
Falwell Version" (since he has been the "kingpin" so to speak in
the promotion of this newest Athenian gimmick) and alongside it
we shall put what ALL EDITIONS OF THE KING JAMES VERSION SAY FROM
1611 to 1982 and compare them with the JFV which professes to be
one in a series of "editions" of that text. So that the reader
will be rooted and grounded in scientific documented fact, we
will place after the JFV its matchmate in the Communist version
put out by the National Council of Churches (Sockman, Weigle,
Albright, Peale, Kagawa, Niebhur, Tillich, Dahlberg, etc.), the
RSV of 1952; and we will also put the matchmate found in the
apostate ASV (1901) so that you can see that this latest fickle
fad was for the purpose (again!) of restoring the bankrupt ASV of
1901 which Christian scholars tried to pawn off on the public for
fifteen years. (When they gave up, they tried to pawn off a "New"
ASV and this failed so miserably that the JFV had to be resorted
to.) Among the men responsible for this new Communist "King
James" Bible are Rev. A. V. Henderson (pastor of Temple Baptist
Church, Detroit) and Curtis Hutson (the Sword of the Lord). May
they rest in peace.

     Since the motive behind all English translation work since
1884 has been sales, we should naturally turn to 1 Timothy 6:10
(For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil....--NKJV)
and find the ASV reading of 1901 standing in the JFV. No edition
of the AV 1611 ever had such a reading in it. I have a 1611 and a
1613 edition right here in my office. Not even the Communist
Bible of the NCC (RSV) is that far off of the AV reading.

     Since all revisors who corrupt the word of God do so with a
bad conscience, not one of them could ever tolerate the AV
reading (in all editions from 1611 to 1982) in 2 Corinthians
2:17. For this reason we find the Jerry Falwell Version has
adopted the reading of the liberals in the NCC (RSV) which
happens to be the reading of the bankrupt ASV that came from the
Westcott and Hort Greek (For we are not,as so many, peddling the
word of God...--NKJV).

     Since all men engaged in perverting the truth of God are
highly susceptible to their depravity,we would expect Romans 1 to
land on the perverter with tremendous force. It does. All
editions of the AV from 1611-1982 read contrary to the Jerry
Falwell Version in Romans 1:18 (For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who suppress the truth...--NKJV) and 1:25 (Who exchanged the
truth of Goid for the lie...--NKJV). Here Falwell and his friends
are again promoting the readings of the National Council of
Communist Churches as they translated it in the RSV. The words
"suppress" and "exchange" have been thrust into the correct text
to cover the sins of the translator who "CHANGED THE TRUTH" and
"HELD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." The ASV naturally agrees
with the liberals and modernists in the NCCC.

     Since all modern apostate fundamentalists think that science
is more valuable than the AV of 1611 (or at least can sit
injudgment on it), the word "science" has been removed from 1
Timothy 6:20 (...avoiding the profane and vain babblings and
contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge--NKJV) to
match the Communist Bible of the NCCC and the apostate NASV of
Bob Jones University. The word "SCIENCE" was found in all
editions of the AV from 1611 to 1982.

     Since money-mad apostates who are engaged in perverting the
word of God are basically materialists who judge success or
failure in the ministry by sales, enrollment, income or
attendance, they would naturally have a heart attack at 1 Timothy
6:5. So said, so done. To cover up the tracks of people like
modern Christian celebrities and monument builders,the JFV has
perverted the verse so that you would not think that some
Christians believe "THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS" (...Who suppose that
godliness is a means of gain---NKJV). The verse in the JFV has
been brought into line with the liberal Bible published by
unsaved modernists in the National Council of Churches. Naturally
the ASV of 1901 reads with Jerry Falwell's Version and Dean
Luther Weigle's Version (RSV).

     Since no modern apostate understands the Christian being "IN
CHRIST'S STEAD" and being "AS HE IS," the term "PERSON OF CHRIST"
in 2 Corinthians 2:10 had to be done away with. The purpose for
this was to erase the cross reference to John 20:23 where the
Holy Spirit interpreted the passage in that fashion in ALL
EDITIONS OF THE KING JAMEAS BIBLE FROM 1611 to 1982. The JFV is
not an edition of the Authorized Version. JFV's reading in 2
Corithians 2:10 (Whom I have forgiven I have forgiven it for your
sakes in the presence of Christ--NKJV) is the reading of
modernists and liberals in the NCCC and was first used in the ASV
of 1901.

     Moving in as close as possible to the RSV reading of
Galatians 5:4, "You are SEVERED from Christ" (which implies they
were joined to Him at one time, which they were not: see the
context), the JFV says, "YOU HAVE BECOME ESTRANGED FROM CHRIST"
(implying they were not strangers, when Ephesians 9:19; 2:12 says
they WERE).

     To protect their own phony Greek scholarship, the Athenian
anteaters (see comments on Acts 17 in The Bible Believer's
Commentary on Acts, 1972) have inserted the RSV reading of the
National Council of Communist Churches into Acts 17:22 (I
perceive that in all things you are very religious--NKJV). The
word "superstitious" (no one is more superstitious than
conservative and evangelical Greek scholars!) was too strong for
their stomachs so they altered it to match the words of the
modernists and liberals whom it scalded first. JFV here reads
with the RSV and the ASV. It is not an "edition" of the AV in any
sense of the word.

     In 1 Corinthians 1:22 (For the Jews request a sign--NKJV)
the ignorance of the committee shows through beautifully. Here we
are told that the Jews do not really REQUIRE a sign: they simply
"request" one. Any fool who read Exodus 4 knows the national
history of the Jews began with SIGNS and that, therefore, they
have a right to require a sign. That is why Christ DID THOSE
SIGNS AMONG THEM (John 12) and went even further and gave those
SIGNS to His successors after His resurrection (Mark 16). The JFV
reads with the ASV, although that corrupt counterpart says "ASKS"
instead of "REQUESTS." Neither reading has anything to do with
sound doctrine, Biblical interpretation or Biblical accuracy.

     Since all Laodicean apostates think exactly alike
(fundamentalists and conservatives foremost), we would naturally
immediately turn to 2 Timothy 2:15, for this is the verse in the
Bible that shows the Christian HOW TO STUDY THAT VERY BOOK. The
JFV has thrown away the key and gotten rid of the scriptural way
to study the Bible by adopting the Communist reading of the RSV,
"BE DILIGENT TO PRESENT YOURSELF" (RSV, "DO YOUR BEST TO PRESENT
YOURSELF") and simply omits the word "STUDY." There is no "STUDY"
in the JFV version; neither is there in the ASV of 1901 nor the
NASV of 1960.

     Perhaps the crummiest thing about this New American, New
King, New Standard, New James Rat's Nest is the promotional
material which tells the sucker that this version will "UNLOCK
THE SPIRITUAL TREASURES FOUND UNIQUELY IN THE KING JAMES
VERSION." Other gaffed acts are promotional material which
implies that for 371 years no one could really find these truths.
To emphasize this Satanic nonsense, Falwell is sending out a copy
of the 1611 Version with his new "rat's nest" to convince the
gullible that:

     1. The language had never been updated when it had.

     2. That the AV included the Apocrypha as part of the Bible,
which it didn't.

     3. And that since the reader's standard AV (published
anywhere between 1613 and 1982) doesn't MATCH the 1611 VERBATIM,
the JFV has the license to reinsert the readings into it of the
National Council of Liberal and Modernist Churches who never
accepted ANY Bible as the word of God. At the close of the
Introduction (p. v) is the standard girl scout profession of the
brownies in Laodicea (see details in Problem Texts, 1980). All
profess that there was a Book (Bible) on earth that had "ORIGINAL
AUTOGRAPHS" in it.

     No one but a madman would believe that. There has never been
on this earth ANY "BIBLE" that contained the original autographs
of Moses, David, Isaiah, Paul and Luke. The profession is a
blatant LIE by men who have been conditioned to lie and teach
lies to others in the name of "FUNDAMENTALISM." These apostate
fundamentalists have simply reinserted the ASV readings and RSV
readings into the "Authorized Text" and pretended that they were
engaged in the same kind of work as that done by the translators
of 1611 and the "revisors" of 1613. They are not. They are
corrupters of the pure Bread of Life in:

     Acts 17:16 (provoked)--...his spirit was provoked within him
when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

     Acts 17:22 (the Areopagas, religious)--Then Paul stood in
the midst of the Areopagas and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive
that in all things you are very religious.

     2 Corinthians 5:17 (creation)--Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation.

     Philippians 2:7 (an attack on the Deity of Christ
[emptied])--But emptied Himself by taking the form of a
servant.... (This verse has been changed again in later editions
of the NKJV.)

     Acts 4:27 (an attack on the Deity of Christ: see comments in
The bible Believer's Commentary on Acts, 1972)--For truly against
your holy Servant Jesus....

     1 Thessalonians 5:22 (no "appearance")--Abstain from every
form of evil.

     Matthew 20:20 (attack on the Deity of Christ: "worshipping"
has been omitted)--Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him
with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

     James 5:16 (a halfway move has been made to the Roman
Catholics by using TRESPASSES)--Confess your trespasses one to
another....

     2 Thessalonians 2:7 (The word "he" has been capitalized to
force upon the reader the private interpretation that the "HE"
has been capitalized to force upon the reader the private
interpretation that the "HE" of that passage is the Third Person
of the Trinity)--For the mystery of lawlessness is already at
work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out
of the way.

     No real Bible believer could be fooled by the Jerry Falwell
Version, otherwise known as the New American, New King, New
Standard, New James, New RAT'S NEST (the New King James Bible).

     It is a Laodicean monstrosity, and the incredible profession
of the "scholarly team" (see their Introduction, p. 30) is that
for the first time in 371 years the King James Bible is able to
speak God's eternal TRUTHS WITH CLARITY. This horrendous LIE is
worded as follows on page 1 of their Introduction, "THE FIRST
KING JAMES VERSION OF THE HOLY BIBLE WAS PUBLISHED IN 1611...NOW
ALMOST 371 YEARS LATER THAT A.V. HAS BEEN CAREFULLY UPDATED"
(READINGS OF THE RSV AND ASV INSERTED!!) "SO THAT IT WILL ONCE
AGAIN SPEAK GOD'S ETERNAL TRUTHS WITH CLARITY."

     We will stick with our "old" King James Version that has
served us so well.
