THE NEW "KING JAMES" ASV OF THOMAS NELSON
As we have seen, the so-called "New KJV" is not a real
edition of the Authorized Version in any sense of the word. The
lame alibi that it is since it was translated from the Textus
Receptus will not work at all, as scores of RSV readings (the
NCCC) and ASV readings (Philip Schaff, 1901) were thrust back
into its text and the Authorized readings which had been
perfectly constant through EVERY EDITION for over 300 years were
thrown out. We have also observed that the apostates connected
with this revision were careful to trim it in the proper places
so that it would suit the Laodicean temperament of monument
builders. Not only were the RSV attacks on the Deity of Christ
inserted into Acts 4:27 and Philippians 2:7 (this verse was
changed again in later editions of the NKJV)--while professing to
"polish with sensitivity" and "enhance its originally intended
beauty" (Farstad's gas bag line)--but the Athenian anteaters (see
Bible Believer's Commentary on Acts, 1972; Acts 17) were absolved
of their "superstition" and made out to be fairly respectable;
this was done by removing the word "SUPERSTITIOUS" (Acts 17:22),
which has been in every edition of the AV since 1611. Naturally,
this was done while professing that the AV was being "sensitively
revised" so that the "thought flow" would "hold closely to the
traditional STRUCTURE" (note the hot air gas bag of the
professional con-man as he belches out his "pitch" to the
sucker).
After admitting that the root source for the 1982 "revision"
was the desire of a book publishing company to reinstate portions
of two of its defunct publications (the RSV of 1952 and the ASV
of 1901), the body of Christ is now to believe that there was a
real grass roots "demand" for this piece of God-dishonoring
trash. The grass roots, however, turn out to be "100 church
leaders" (p. 8) who represent less than one fiftieth of the born-
again, soul-winning pastors in the United States alone. This
select group of elite "church leaders" all signed the standard,
phoney-baloney Alexandrian Creed which states that "the
Scriptures ARE THE UNIQUELY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD." From this we
must take for granted that not one scholar out of the 100 could
translate or interpret the VERB TENSE of his own language,
English, for the horrible truth is that not one man on the 1982
committee ever believed a day in his life that "the Scriptures
ARE the uniquely inspired word of God." They simply lied to make
you think they were Bible believers. Every man on the list (of
over 100) believes that the Scriptures WERE the word of God when
they were originally written. The lying verb "ARE" and "IS" is
always inserted into their professions to make you think they
believe that they (or you) HAVE a real Bible. You will notice
that after this lying profession a careful postscript is added to
cover up the lying sin of the apostate: i.e., "free from error IN
THE ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPHS."
Observe that in the Scriptures (any version of any edition
published by anyone in any language) the term "SCRIPTURES" is
never a reference to "original autographs" (see Matt. 21:42;
22:29, Mark 12:10, Luke 4:21, John 2:22; 5:39; 20:9, Acts 8:32;
8:35; 18:24, Romans 9:17; 15:4, 1 Tim. 5:18, 2 Tim. 3:15, 16, 2
Pet. 3:16).
The 100 "church leaders" then are guilty of stupidity and
hypocrisy in the same stroke by their own profession.
1. They do not and cannot use the word "SCRIPTURES" as the
term is defined and used in the Old and New Testament, in any
edition of any version.
2. They have invented a term which occurs nowhere in either
Testament, in any translation, in any language, in any revision,
put out by anyone.
3. This was done to cover up their own unbelief in the WORDS
of God which they do not believe EXIST in a Book. They lied about
"ARE" because they really believe nothing of the kind. They
believe "the Scriptures WERE the word of God."
EVERY MEMBER OF THE ALEXANDRIAN CULT FROM ORIGEN TO ED
HINDSON BELIEVED THAT AND EIGHTEEN CENTURIES HAS NOT CHANGED ONE
MAN IN THE CULT A HAIRSBREADTH FROM THAT LYING AND HYPOCRITICAL
PROFESSION WHICH ALL CULT LEADERS WILL PROFESS UNTIL THE SECOND
ADVENT OF JESUS CHRIST.
Now, those who look "well to their going" and take heed not
to "believe every word" (Prov. 14:15) are not fooled by the
gaffed act of these professional con artists. You actually have
to have considerable education to be as stupid as most of these
"church leaders" are. For example, any honest man--without any
education--would have been leary of the whole Falwell-Nelson-
Hindson-Dobson (1982) operation if he had simply noticed the
WORDS that the outfit used to get across their phoney revision.
"Because millions love and use the King James Version IT
MUST SPEAK CLEARLY, so that ALL who read may understand" (p. 7).
Now what Bible believer would buy that pitch? "ALL WHO
READ"? Why any fool on this earth knows that the "natural man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God" no matter how
"clearly" they speak. Who didn't know that but an unsaved man to
whom it applied? Are they telling us that unsaved people don't
USE the King James Version (see above)? Are they telling us that
millions who LOVE it are worried about it not speaking clearly?
Imagine the hypocrisy of "godly scholars" who would write a thing
like that after admitting that the demand for their revision came
from a book publishing company that couldn't sell enough of two
versions it had published!!
"But there is still need for a STANDARD Bible...one that
speaks CLEARLY."
What did God say about that in Proverbs 8:9? Who would be
bumb enough to believe poor sinners like Ed Hindson, Ed Dobson,
Jerry Falwell and Farstad after God HIMSELF had already spoken
about such matters?
What real Bible believer doesn't know that if ANY text of
ANY version was "revised" into "updated language" it couldn't be
understood by a reprobate even while he professed to love it?
Look at John 8:43.
Look at what the Holy Spirit said about "understanding"
someone's speech in the Bible (John 8:43). The Pharisees there
were hearing words in a language they understood perfectly and it
was not TEN YEARS "OUT OF DATE." They still couldn't get it.
"UPDATING" had no effect on what they heard no matter who said it
or when it was said. Imagine someone actually believing apostates
like Hindson, Dobson and Farstad about "updating" after being
told by the Holy Spirit that understanding the Scriptures was
dependent upon JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF (Luke 24:45) opening a man's
understanding.
But these Laodicean egotists go much further than this!
In describing their work, the modern apostates tell us that
the "updating" they did was "a long and thoughtful process" (p.
11) (not a PRAYERFUL PROCESS) and that it required "the same kind
of patience and CARE...as was used by the translators of 1611"
(p. 11).
Was it? Did it?
How then did they omit a reference to the "MAN OF SIN" in
their preface?
How did they thoughtfully and with "patience" and "care"
decide to attack the Deity of Christ in Acts 4:27 to bring the
1611 edition into line with the National Council of Christian
Churches in America in 1952?
How did they "thoughtfully" (with patience and care) decide
to cover up their own sins in Romans 1:18, 25, 1 Timothy 6:10, 20
and 2 Corinthians 2:17 in order to maintain "high standards of
ACCURACY, READABILITY and BEAUTY" (p. 9).
Is there anyone reading this page who would trust a man who
would even say "READABILITY"? If a man is "sharing" (p. 8)
"thoughtflows" (p. 8), would any real soul-winning, Bible-
believing young man take him to be anything but a smooth, slick,
opportunist? What man who reads his Bible has not been warned
about "GOOD WORDS AND FAIR SPEECHES" (Rom. 16:18), unless it is
the apostates themselves who also altered THAT verse (Rom. 16:18)
to cover up their sins?
FACE IT: an honest man could not recommend such a version no
matter WHO was recommending it. A "Fundamentalist" could
recommend it on an "Evangelical church leader," but an honest MAN
is out of the question. No man who knew his Bible would fail to
see the Satanic devices (2 Cor. 2:11) which are designed for one
purpose alone: INCOME BY DECEPTION.
