FOUR REASONS FOR DEFENDING THE KJV

KING JAMES ONLY

How to Spot a Counterfeit
There are several ways to spot a counterfeit, that is, a Bible whose words have been adulterated. Check your Bible and see if you find any of the following 25 counterfeits: [Each point will show the KJV, non-adulterated translation]

Genesis 22:8 Instead of ". . . My son, God will provide himself a lamb for
a burnt offering:. . ." to distort the prophesy that God would become the Lamb.
The counterfeit reads, "God will provide for Himself the lamb. . ." or "God
himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering". The fulfillment of
Genesis 22:8 is found in John 1:29.
Isaiah 14:12 Most counterfeit versions confuse the Lord Jesus Christ with
Lucifer. They replace the word "Lucifer" with "morning star, day star, star of
the morning". Morning star is a title reserved for the Lord Jesus in Revelation
22:16. This is also the only time the word "Lucifer" is found in the Word of
God. In Isaiah 14:15 the counterfeit does not send Lucifer to "hell" but only to
the confusing "Sheol", or the "grave".
Matthew 20:20 Many counterfeits remove the words "worshipping him" and rob
worship from the Lord Jesus Christ. Some will replace "worshipping him" with
"kneeling down" or "kneeling before", but just simply "kneeling" is not
worship.
Matthew 26:28 Many counterfeits replace the phrase "new testament" with the
generic phrase "new agreement" or "new covenant". This is an obvious attack on
the written Word of God. It’s interesting, even though the counterfeits remove
the phrase "new testament", they do not title their New Testaments as "New
Agreement" or "New Covenant". Why? The counterfeiters know they could not sell
their counterfeit bearing the title "New Agreement" or "New Covenant" on the
cover, so like any good counterfeiter, they disguise it.
Mark 3:29 The counterfeits change the serious consequences of blaspheme
against the Holy Ghost from "eternal damnation" to "eternal sin" or "eternal
condemnation".
Luke 4:4 Many counterfeits remove the last half of Luke 4:4, ". . . but by
every word of God" This is another assault on the Word of God. In Luke 4:4, the
Lord Jesus Christ is quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. Do the counterfeiters believe the
Lord Jesus does not know what Deuteronomy 8:3 says?
Luke 4:8 Many counterfeits remove the words "get thee behind me, Satan".
Here the Lord Jesus Christ openly rebukes Satan – but the counterfeits do not
rebuke Satan.
Luke 16:23 Many counterfeits refuse to translate the Greek word "haides".
Rather than translate "haides" to the word "hell", the counterfeit will
transliterate the Greek word "haides" into the English "hades". By this trick
the counterfeit attempts to extinguish the flames of hell. Hades is not "hell".
Hell is flames, torments, weeping and wailing, complete darkness – forever.
Hades is a new-age place of purification, or a fantasy place in Greek mythology.
The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies called Happy
Fields.
John 4:24 Many counterfeits change "God is a spirit" to "God is spirit". By
removing the critical article "a", the counterfeits teach an impersonal,
formless, esoteric, new-age "spirit god".
John 14:16 Many counterfeits change the Holy Spirit from a loving,
concerned "Comforter" to simply another "Helper, Counselor".
Acts 2:47 Many counterfeits change the completed act of "saved" to the
working, in progress "being saved". With this change, the counterfeits deny the
complete and finished salvation in the blood of Jesus Christ to a progressive,
salvation by works. You are no longer "saved" but in the process of "being
saved". See also in 1 Corinthian 1:18 and 2 Corinthians 2:15.
Acts 4:27 Many counterfeits abort the Lord Jesus Christ as the Father’s
"holy child" to His "holy servant". A subtle (see Genesis 3:1) and clever denial
of the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The counterfeits do this again in Acts
4:30.
Acts 8:37 Some counterfeits completely remove this wonderful verse (and
several others). Acts 8:37 is the Ethiopian eunuch getting saved. The
counterfeits stop him from getting saved. Some counterfeits are a little more
subtle. They do not remove the verse from the text, but will add a footnote
questioning the verse and plant a seed of doubt. Sound familiar? "Yea, hath God
said. . .?" Many counterfeits also remove: Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mark
7:16, 9:44, 9:46, Mark 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37,
15:34, 24:7, 28:28, Romans 16:24 and 1 John 5:7!
Acts 17:29 The counterfeits change "Godhead" to the new age doctrine of
"Divine Nature" or "Divine Being".
Romans 6:22 Many counterfeits demote Christians from the voluntary, loving
"servants of God" to cruel "enslaved" or "slaves of God". The counterfeits
describe my Father as a "slave owner" and His precious children as "slaves". Oh
how contrary and wicked to the character of my loving and wonderful Heavenly
Father! This is done many times in the counterfeits. It's amazing because the
first part of Romans 6:22 reads ". . . being made free from sin,. . ." and
according to the counterfeits we now are slaves!
1 Corinthians 1:21 Many counterfeits change ". . .the foolishness of
preaching. . ." to the "foolishness of what was preached" or "foolishness of the
message preached". The deceitful counterfeits change the object of "foolishness"
from the act of "preaching" to the "message" of preaching – the gospel of the
Lord Jesus. There’s nothing "foolish" about the "message" of Jesus Christ – it’s
the greatest and most reasonable message in the history of the universe! 1
Corinthians 1:18, shines some eye-opening light on the counterfeiters. 1
Corinthians 1:18 says ". . . the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." It makes you
wonder. . . are the publishers of these counterfeits saved?
1 Corinthians 6:9 The counterfeits change the word "effeminate" to
"homosexual" or "male prostitutes". This dilutes the serious warning of just the
appearance or mannerism (effeminate) to the sexual act of homosexuals.
2 Corinthians 2:17 The counterfeits change the word "corrupt the word of
God" to "peddling (or selling) the word of God". An apparent attempt by the
counterfeiters to hide the fact they are "corrupting the word of God". It won’t
work. . . God knows what they are doing.
2 Corinthians 10:5 The counterfeits change "imaginations" to "arguments" or
"obstacles" or "speculations". This change lines the counterfeit up with the new
age religion, as the new age is built upon "imaging" and "imaginations". It also
removes the spiritual identification to where sin begins – in our
imaginations.
Colossians 1:14 Many counterfeits remove the phrase "through his blood".
Salvation is only "through his blood". Without shedding of blood is no remission
of sins (Hebrews 9:22)
1 Thessalonians 5:22 The counterfeits change "all appearance of evil" to
"every form (or kind) of evil".
1 Timothy 3:16 Many counterfeits change the crucial word "God" to the
unmodified, vague pronoun "he". This is the clearest verse in the Bible stating
that Jesus Christ was "God manifest in the flesh" and the counterfeits destroy
it.
1 Timothy 6:10 The counterfeits add the words "kinds of". This addition
dilutes the conclusive statement, ". . .the love of money is the root of all
evil" to the subjective ". . .the love of money is a root of all kinds of
evil".
2 Timothy 2:15 The counterfeits remove the word "study". The counterfeits do
not want you to study your Bible. You might just find out they are mutilating
it.
Revelation 1:5 Many counterfeits change the wonderful words "washed us from
our sins in his own blood," to "loosed" or "freed" us from our sins. Revelation
1:5 is the only verse in the Bible that says you are washed in the blood – and
the counterfeits destroy it. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of
Jesus.

Conclusion: Little space is provided for your answers, but it’s much more than needed. If you followed the instructions above, you not only failed the test, you receive a big goose egg. So now what do you think of this “accurate, easy-to-understand, up-to-date Bible”? If these 25 questions haven’t served to show you that the NIV is a very inferior Bible, based on a very inferior Greek text, it is possible to write up another quiz with 25 more questions, or even 250, and you will still flunk the test. If you would like to improve your score, and in fact score 100%, you can take this test using the Authorized (King James) Bible.

THE ANVIL OF GOD'S WORD

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil sing the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with blasting years of time.

"How many anvils have you had," said I,
"To wear and batter all these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he; and then, with twinkling eye,
"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."

And so I thought, the anvil of God's Word
For ages, skeptic blows have beat upon.
Yet tho' the noise of falling blows was heard
The anvil is unharmed--the hammers gone.
