Are Ravening Wolves Changing The Bible?

For over a year now I’ve had a passion for seeking knowledge on God’s word and the Christian culture. One night I asked God to give me the wisdom to understand some of the things I wanted to research. One of those things was “changes in the Bible”. I jumped into this subject being naive to the facts of what I was about to uncover. After all, I had friends that would either tell me there were changes or asked me if any changes had occurred. My natural reaction was to defend the Bible at all costs. Realistically I knew that some of these people didn’t read their bible at all, if any. So, as I started my research, I uncovered some startling evidence that at first I thought had to be a lie! I know that the Bible says …
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35
So, that tells me that his words will be preserved forever. I grew up on the Authorized King James Bible. But now I own a NKJV. When one of my friends got saved I went out and bought him a NKJV. I thought everything was good, because it’s God’s words right? Ok, so I never bought myself an NIV or any other new version of the bible except for the one I just mentioned above. I just never thought it was necessary to have it that much easier for me to “read” to the point that it didn’t match.
So going through the articles I found on the most reliable site that I visited out of many. I found out that not only are ALL the new versions corrupt, but that they are entire verses deleted from some of them! YES!! Entire verses are deleted out of the NIV… I could not believe my eyes, so I left the computer and went into my room distressed about the situation. I talked to the Lord and begged him to help me understand what was going on. So, after about half an hour I went back to the computer and kept reading. These are SOME of the horrible realizations that I came across.
- The NIV perverts the Deity of Christ
- The NIV perverts the virgin birth
- The NIV removes the blood of Christ
- The NIV perverts John 3:16 into a LIE!
- The NIV Calls Lucifer “Jesus”
- Harper Collins (owner of Zondervan) Publishes the NIV and the SATANIC BIBLE
- The NIV deletes the same verses that the Jehovah’s Witness “bible” (JW new world translation} deletes, the exact same verses.
- The NIV changed Sodomites to something more politically correct
- The NIV is a part of the New Age Movement
- The NIV Versions are made to be a cash cow.
- The NIV deletes over 64,000 words and like I said before many verses
- Some of the people on the NIV committee were sodomites.
- On the cover of some of the NKJV is a satanic symbol which most believe is a sign for the Trinity. That is a LIE!
The Authorized King James Bible to me, is the only one to be trusted as the preserved word of God. And if you think that is it, you are sadly mistaken my friend. The fact is, since I don’t own a NIV I had to go online to a bible database to double check my findings, they are ALL true. I even had some friends that own a copy of the NIV to do some checking and to their surprise they found the same things! Now we know that the devil is the father of lies, so in essence, he is the father of confusion.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44
You tell me how it looks when many of us go to Church or Bible study and you and the rest try to read a passage and then end up looking confused. Why should there be so many versions? Why so many deleted words and verses, and let me remind you this doesn’t just occur in the NIV. My NKJV have many flaws also even though there isn’t as much.
We also know that God warns about changing his words.
“If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. You could look at it like this; Since Jesus is The Word, then when you change the Bible you are changing the very meaning of Jesus. It is imperative that you know the history of the Bible you cling to so much. Find out what the Textus Receptus is versus the blasphemous version that was being reproduced a short time after. It’s the same game that the devil is playing. You have to realize, the less you know about history, your bible and the words in it, (inspired by the spirit of God), the more the possibility of you remaining a babe Christian. How can you preach the Word if your are potentially preaching heresy? Something to think about there…
You see, I initially was very skeptical of people who defended the AKJB (Authorized King James Bible). I thought they were just being bias. Boy was I wrong, I am glad I looked into this deeper. Most of the younger Christians are growing up into a culture of people who only know the NIV and these other versions of God’s Holy Word. They say they want to make it easier to read but, the KJV was written on a 7 grade level, while the other perversions exchange some of the easier word for words on a 8+ level. I pray that you do your own research on this subject either on the referenced links I provide or wherever else you would like to research. God bless, good hunting and may the Holy Spirit guide you.

Thanks for that info. I see what you are saying now. I had to check this out for myself and it’s true. Keep doing the great job. God Bless.
I guess the evidence speaks for itself
I’m really concerned for you guys.
The issue of which translation to use is not something to divide the church, the Body of Christ, over. As long as it’s an orthodox Christian bible i.e not the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New World Translation etc, we can be assured that most Bibles are well translating.
I also think it’s erroneous to compare the NIV or any other Bible to the KJV. Humanity is fortunate to have the scripture so well preserved. Great analysis has been done from the original ancient Greek copies to pick up anomalies from hand-copied errors etc.
Anyway, if comparing the accuracy of a translation, we CAN go to copies of the ancient Greek scriptures. Many people learn how to translate ancient Greek from their tertiary education or Bible college.
The argument about the NIV attacking Christ’s deity is rubbish. Just look at their affirmation of Christ’s deity in John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God”.
Furthermore in that passage from Phillipians, “grasped” means clutched onto. Jesus is fully God and fully human but did not clutch onto all his divine powers when he allowed himself to be crucified. You need to understand the Bible more and listen to less lunatics on the Internet, lest you become one.
Anyway, the main thing is that most translations are very good and fairhful and there should not be divisions and dominations over such things.
Hi Elwyn,
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I don’t thinks there is a need to be concerned about us – I use the NKJV, my bro uses the Hebrew Greek Key Study Bible and another uses the KJV. This blog post was not meant to be divisive or to show the views of the entire INSPIKS Team. This is why we show the authors info to the right of the post.
I think it was meant to cause people to look more closely at the book we study from everyday. Some of us use translations that should not be used, but as you said, we can be assured that most (not all) Bibles are well translated.
This type of controversy over the Bible translations have been going on for a long period of time and not by lunatics, its been argued by Bible college students and others. You will have people that will tell you that it’s not being discussed but kindly tell those people to stop, because I’ve heard the civil discussions on reputable Christian radio stations and there are many different point of views on the internet also (not all reputable
If we stop bringing the subject to light – then we are setting ourselves up to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
As you pointed out, Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New World Translation is one of them.
As far as the other points you made, I think they are valid points, but as I said I do use the NKJV however I don’t think I will be using the NIV anytime soon
I’m also concerned that the original poster mentions various “facts” such as “The NIV Calls Lucifer “Jesus” without pin-pointing the verse then merely cites a dozen articles written by a lunatic with bias.
So, do the members of this web site have a KJV-only bias?
For the record, I
* mainly use a NIV when reading at home
* own a KJV when arguing with Mormons
* use a NKJV at my work bible study because it’s compact
* use TNIV and WEB on my iPhone when I’m studying in a coffee shop.
Hi Elwyn,
I will notify SERAPHIMCHRIS to post the exact verse and explain it.
I answered the KJV only bias in my last comment to you. The answer is no. The NKJV is a the version I use – so no bias.
The reason I do not use the NIV is because its missing many verses. My NIV did not give an explanation for that, however, after looking through other NIV’s of my friends at church, some has the missing verses at the bottom of the pages with note – not in the original manuscript. So, not using the NIV is not a bias on my part, just a preference. I personally do not think people are necessarily being lead astray from God by using other translation because, the Word of God (Logos) is like a two edged sword, so I think the errors cannot stop the work of God. It’s like a preacher that preaches with bad grammar, does God fill him/her with power? Yes. The Word of God will still have power over of the hearts and minds of people. We serve a living God.
Also Elwyn, to further clarify your question about KJV bias, this site uses a verse Translator plugin that automatically translates the verses in each post to ESV. Example, (Click The link to see) – Romans 10:9
“I personally do not think people are necessarily being lead astray from God by using other translation because, the Word of God (Logos) is like a two edged sword, so I think the errors cannot stop the work of God. It’s like a preacher that preaches with bad grammar, does God fill him/her with power? Yes. The Word of God will still have power over of the hearts and minds of people. We serve a living God.”
I Like that!
Hi Elwin,
Thanks for replying to my article. I did give a source for…
NIV calls Lucifer Jesus
http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/nivsatan.htm
I think you overlooked it. I’m not here to convince anyone to read the KJV only. I only stated what I saw from the evidence I researched for myself regarding the matter, and i stand firm to it. If you think it’s rubbish then, that’s ok too.:) The one thing that matters in the end is, that we really put our faith in Jesus.
Thanks again for posting your comment.
The source material you cite has a KJV bias. You may claim not to want to push a KJV bias but it certainly comes across in your provocative title for this blog post – implying other translations are the work of Satan.
I can understand why people want to stick to older translations. I came to this blog when Googling for “best bible iPhone app”. I am seriously concerned that people are pushing an agenda with questionable source material… and want to know why.
Did you know that the English language has changed a lot since 1611? furthermore, our own theology understanding and understanding of ancient languages has also increased since then. Yet some want to cling onto the older translations. The author you cite always compares the NIV to the KJV. it’s never to the original source material – ancient Hebrew or Greek. Yet as soon as new knowledge and understanding of scriptures is presented (from commentaries), he instantly dismisses it as being extra-biblical which really means non-KJV.
I don’t want to be rude but you should not claim to have conducted “original research”. If you had, you’d be telling me what the original Hebrews says. You did some Googling.
Conclusions are quickly jumped to in the article you cite. In particular, the argument about Linking capstone to the New Age movement.
I can see how you are so passionate about this. Too often cults pervert the Word of God such as the JW’s do or take things out of context to produce faulty doctrine (Mormons). Furthermore, the Word of God is the greatest revelation we have to the character and truth about God and the means to personally know Him and understand the means to receive Salvation and Grace.
However claiming that one reasonable and modern translation is the work of the devil is an attack on the Word of God itself, and frighteningly, it is based upon flimsy “evidence”.
I don’t think that the KJV is the actual preserved word of God, because it is not the original manuscript(hand-written). If we study the original manuscripts and the KJV we will see that there are words in Hebrew and Greek that had no English equivalent, so the translators of the KJV had to place a close enough word to fit the context, therefore we CANNOT say that the KJV is “the preserved word of God”.
Now that is technically speaking….Really and truly, God has preserved His words in many ways throughout history, for example the original manuscripts are still around after thousands of years, that is a miracle in itself, because unlike many other writings of the same period, the original manuscripts are destroyed or they just cannot be found. The KJV may be a more trustworthy translation, but we cannot put claims on it as being “The preserved Word”. I know INSPIKS is not dogmatic about this topic, and from reading many of your other post, you guys seem to be well rooted in Biblical truths.
I agree with Elwyn, that you should not source material from such a biased source. I am happy you guys have such a Blog like this where we can discuss this topic, keep up the good work.
I agree with both Elwyn and Grapixia – thanks for your concern Elwyn and I do see string of bias language in the post, however the author did encourage readers to use other materials to do their own un-going research and to give their views on the post. I’m sure that if all of this was written in stone, then he would not ask for the readers view – because it would not matter in light of hard facts.
I didn’t see in the article that SERAPHIMChris said he did “original research” either. He did use the word, research loosely in his first paragraph however and that’s when he explained that he found the “info or evidence”.
Graphixia, along with the original manuscript being preserved, the Word should and is being preserved in our hearts. That’s why its so important to continue our study of it.
Unfortunately there are some who do put their own agenda in certain Bible translations so the more we study, we can be discerning of the truth and the true Biblical world view which is held in God’s written word.
Since this is not a blog of one (blog of one writer) I will allow this post to remain because with a myriad of views (not anti-Christ) on this subject, we’ll at least have civil discussions that will or may aid in us taking fearful attention to how we translate God’s Word now and in the future. Elwyn with high respect to you and your concerns, I will look into editing the post a bit, to have a non-biased approach.
