[Up] [Another Bible Another Gospel] [The Authorised KJV] [The Oxford Movement]

[The English Revised Version] [The Nestle/Aland Greek New Testament]

[The New American Standard Bible] [The New International Version]

[The New KJV] [Examine the Evidence] [The Infallible Book]

The words of the LORD are pure words,

As silver tried in a furnace of earth,

purified seven times.

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD,

Thou shalt preserve them

from this generation forever.

Psalm 12:6,7

Heaven and earth shall pass away,

But my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:35

CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT GOD’S WORD IS THE TRUTH, divinely inspired and inerrant. Attempts to destroy it under the pretext of clarifying its meaning have accelerated over the past one hundred years. This paper documents an investigation into the domain of Bible scholarship which, having evaluated the evidence found therein and within the various Bible translations, has determined:

The Greek Textus Receptus, from which the Authorized King James Version was translated, is the true Word of God.

The New Greek Text, from which modern versions (Revised Version, New International Version, New American Standard Version, and New King James Version) are derived, is a corrupted Greek text.

The reader will find in these pages historical information concerning the translation of the KJV and modern versions, evidence which discredits the translators of the New Greek Text and the Revised Version of 1881 (ERV or RV), and Tables which compare selected Scriptures in the KJV, ERV (RV), NASB, NIV, and NKJV. The negative impact of numerous changes in modern translations upon Christian doctrine and also upon the Church will become apparent. This treatise will deal primarily with alterations to the New Testament.

The reader should take into consideration that not all editions and printings of each modern translation are the same. For this paper, the 1881 ERV, 1973 NASB, 1978 NIV, and the 1982 NKJV were used for the Tables of Comparison of Selected Scriptures. All other Bible references are from the Authorized King James Version.

I wish to give all praise and honour to my God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost for giving me the privilege of serving Him in the high calling of the preservation of His Holy Word. My gratitude also must be expressed for the prayers, encouragement, suggestions and assistance of my family and friends in the preparation of this treatise.
