[2] The title of the sermon today is “THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD.”
“There’s Not A Perfect Bible In Existence Today!”
- Most so-called “christian” churches in this world today do not believe there is a perfect Bible without error.
- We are told that any translation or modern bible version is good because they all have human error within them.
- “They are just translations and there is no perfect Bible. So, please, just use whatever translation you want.”
- Think about that for a second. We are being told there is no perfect Bible. Think about what that means.
- People can now pick up any “Bible” with different words and different meanings and pick and choose what’s correct and what’s not correct.
- You want an example? Here’s one:
[3] 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
- The churches and denominations that teach God is one and that God doesn’t exist in three persons will tell you that this is a mistake in the Bible
- So: “We’re going to ignore this verse and change all the other hundreds of verses around that tell us the same thing.
- We are going to make the Bible say what WE want it to say so it matches our perfect religion.”
This is not a joke. This is what “churches” do, and this is what “religion” does. God knows this.
- He will pour out His wrath on those people.
- We can either believe what God says or not.
- People who won’t believe what He says and conform to His words are not saved.
- You want another example? Here’s another:
[4] Psalm 12:6-7 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 for ever.
- Look, God says His words are pure words.
- God says He will preserve His words from this generation forever.
- God is telling us that His words will NEVER pass away.
So, do you believe there is a perfect Bible or not?
- The Bible itself tells us there will be a perfect and pure Bible without error.
- But, still, “churches” won’t believe the word of God because they continue to tell everyone that a perfect Bible doesn’t exist.
- And that’s not even close to the ONLY verse in the Bible that tells us this.
- We’re going to go over many more in the sermon today.
“All Bible Versions Say The Same Thing”
- The modern bible versions like the New King James, American Standard, New American Standard, English Standard, NIV, New Living Translation, and hundreds of others ALL have different words within them.
- How can all of these “Bibles” with different words, different sentences, and different verses all mean the same thing?
The “experts” at Bible Colleges have told us that they all mean the same thing.
- The “experts” have told us that the New American Standard Bible is the most accurate translation so we should use that so-called “bible.”
- The “experts” have told us we can use any version of the Bible, and we’ll get the same thing out of all of them.
- Did you hear that? Those are the most ridiculous and truly ignorant statements that I’ve ever heard.
500 different books with different words do not and cannot say the same thing.
- Do you truly believe that God needs to say something 500 different ways?
- If you do, then you do not know God AT ALL. You are not listening and hearing the words directly from God.
- If you aren’t listening and hearing the words of God, then you might have a problem because the Bible says this:
[5] Ezekiel 3:10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
[6] John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
- If you aren’t hearing God’s words, you better open your ears and hear this today.
- Conform to God’s words and STOP listening to the men and women of this world.
- If you do not, God’s wrath and anger will be upon you. It’s really that simple.
Corrupting God’s Words Scatter His Sheep
- Most people in churches today truly had good intentions when going to church.
- Some churches have corrupted those people very badly and have taught them all the lies of this world.
- The corrupted bible versions have led to many of these issues.
- The bible isn’t even taken seriously in “churches” all over the world. It’s a joke to some of them.
[7] Jeremiah 23:1-2 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
- When God says, “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” you better believe He means WOE!
- This is serious. Don’t mess with God’s words, change them, and use them in your churches.
- You are simply causing division within GOD’S CHURCH (Not Yours).
- God simply wants us to hear HIS WORDS:
[8] Jeremiah 23:22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
- If you aren’t hearing God’s words, you aren’t turning from your evil ways.
- If you’re hearing the words of the world, you’re continuing to do evil because you have no fear of God.
- God knows who is corrupting His words, and who is helping spread evil and darkness throughout His world.
- God is all powerful and knows all.
[9] Jeremiah 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
- No one can hide from God. He knows each and every wicked heart in His creation.
- You cannot hide from God because He fills the heaven and the earth.
[10] Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
- God’s word is ALL POWERFUL and yet people are messing with His words and changing them.
- This is pure stupidity. God is warning us today: DO NOT CHANGE HIS WORDS!
- If you do change His words, He leaves this warning for you today:
[11] Jeremiah 23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
- Don’t scatter His sheep. Don’t change His words. Don’t spread lies throughout this world.
- Instead, speak the truth which is the word of God and the word of God only.
- When you speak the pure words from God, you can be sure you are speaking the truth.
There Is A Perfect Bible Because The Perfect Bible Says So
- We are instructed to study the Bible because the Bible is the word of God.
- If the words within this book were words from man, they would be a waste of time just as any other book written by man.
- But, this is not the case. The ONE TRUE Bible is filled with words directly from God.
- Every word is important. Every word tells us how to please GOD ALMIGHTY, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
- I want to make Him happy so I’ll study His word with all that I have.
[12] John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
- If two Bibles say something different in just one place, then one of those books is a liar and should be burned.
- It cannot be trusted. This is why all modern bible versions should be burned because they are spreading lies.
- If one of them has changed God’s words, we should get far away from those man-made books with the word of man.
- If we know that we have the pure word of God without error, we will LOVE those words.
- If we think they have errors, we will not trust them completely or love those words.
[13] Psalm 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
- The Bible tells us we can be sure that we have pure words from God Himself.
- God says He will preserve His words for us. God’s word will do what He intended it to do.
- No one will stop His words and WOE to the ones who try to stop His words.
[14] Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
- God will accomplish whatever He wants to accomplish. He is God. We aren’t.
- We will be with God and NEVER against God’s words. We will strive with God and never against Him.
- We will receive His words as they are the word of God and not the word of men.
- We will treat them as they are, and they are the WORD OF GOD!
[15] 1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
- If we know we have the TRUE WORD OF GOD and receive this WORD OF GOD, His words will work within us who believe what He says.
- This is where we need to be. We need to know that He has given us His word just as He tells us He would do, we need to take His word, we need to study it with everything we have, and He will work within us.
- This is what He says He will do, and this is what He does. This is what we need!
[16] Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
- God’s word is magnified above all others! We do not need any other words.
- We simply need the ONE TRUE WORD OF GOD that God Himself talks about over and over again within the Bible.
[17] Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
- God tells us over and over again that His words will not pass away. His words will not be changed.
- No man will ever get rid of the word of God because God says so! Keep on trying evil people.
- Keep wasting your time. God’s word will prevail, and His people will know the truth.
[18] Proverbs 30:5-6 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.
- So the Bible again tells us that every word of God is pure.
- The Bible tells us not to change His words because changing them will make liars out of all those who change them!
- Some people will say, “Well, there are changes to the King James Bible too!”
- Yeah, those were man-made mistakes that were easily corrected without changing doctrine at all.
- Hear this again: “EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE.” God doesn’t need any man changing His words.
- To all those who don’t believe we have a perfect Bible: “If you don’t believe there is a pure word of God in existence, then the Bible is lying to us. Are you saying God is a liar?”
- I sure hope not. Change His words, and you are the liar.
[19] 1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
- The word of the Lord endureth forever. If it did not, this would be one of the saddest things ever.
- When I think of not having the perfect word of God, it deeply pains me within. It truly hurts.
- I never want to lose the word of God because I love it with all that I have.
- I know that it is alive and powerful within me. I allow His words to change me.
- Without His words, I would have no change. I would go away from God, and I would be lost.
[20] Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
- We need the word of God. And this isn’t just words saying we NEED it.
- This is our soul deep within us knowing that we need His words. We need His guidance.
- We need His power changing us into what He wants us to be.
- We are His creation, and we will do what He asks us to do. His words will correct us and shape us.
- Nothing else will do.
[21] 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
- We should desire the sincere milk of the word because this is how we grow!
- I personally cannot imagine going one day without the word of God.
- Once you start reading it everyday, you will start to desire His words just as a newborn baby desires milk for food and to grow.
You see: The Bible gives us life. The Bible gives us the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Other bible versions have corrupted this gospel and there is no power over death with a corrupted gospel.
- We need the True Words of God to save us.
- We must believe His words, and we must believe that He has given us a perfect Bible because He says so.
Proof That Bible Versions Do Not Say The Same Things and Mean The Same Things
- I truly do not believe that so many people simply take and believe words from man.
- Too many people have been deceived because people won’t take the time to look at the most important things in life.
- The word of God is important. We need to make sure we have the right words.
I was one of those people for many years that listened to these so-called “experts.”
- But, today, I thank God that He opened my eyes. Will you open your eyes today?
- Once you do, you will thank Him for opening your eyes.
- 16 verses from the King James Bible have been removed from the modern bible versions.
- So, how can all the bibles say and mean the same thing? 16 verses have been completely removed.
- How can the bibles say the same thing? Oh, are those 16 verses not important?
- Would you say they might be important if maybe Jesus was speaking those words?
[22] Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
- You see: The Bible tells us not to add to or take away from His words.
- If we do this, how are we going to keep the commandments of the Lord OUR GOD?
- We can’t take away His words and expect to know what He wants.
- Let’s look at some of the 16 verses removed from the modern bible versions:
- Matthew 17:21 is removed completely. Let’s look at the verse removed in context with the verse before.
[23] Matthew 17:18-21 says this: 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
- Jesus Himself is telling us nothing is impossible with faith, but someone with this miraculous faith would be doing so with prayer and fasting.
- This is very important to the meaning of this passage.
- If you want to move mountains, you better be praying and fasting. This is what Jesus says!
- Those bible versions have removed the words of Jesus. You see: this makes me angry.
- How do you think God feels? Matthew 18:11 is another verse missing from the so-called bibles.
[24] Matthew 18:10-12 says this: 10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
- Again, this is Jesus speaking directly. I might just say the missing verse has some importance.
- Remove that verse out of this passage, and this removes: “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.”
- Is this not important to know? Oh yes, it’s very important. Jesus has come to save all that are lost.
- If one of His sheep is lost, He has come to rescue them.
- He will leave the others that are not lost to find that one lost sheep.
- This shows the great love of Jesus for all His sheep.
- Matthew 23:14 is another missing verse, and you might see why this verse is missing rather quickly.
[25] Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
- This is Jesus Himself speaking in Matthew 23:14 so the direct words of Jesus have been removed.
- When you remove this verse, you take out something that is HIGHLY IMPORTANT!
- Do you want to miss out on this verse? I sure don’t.
- We better not be like the scribes and religious leaders who are hypocrites.
- We better be helping widows and not making long prayer.
- These are commandments from Jesus with a great warning. Yet, this verse has been removed.
Churches everywhere don’t help widows as we are commanded to do, and they especially make these long and fancy prayers inside and outside of church.
- Some people go on for 15 to 30 minutes in prayer. God tells us not to do this.
- He already knows what we need! Trust Him. Don’t pray so you can be heard of others.
- God knows what we need. Mark 7:16 is another missing verse.
[26] Mark 7:15-16 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
- Again, these are direct words from THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST who has ALL POWER.
- And these evil people want to remove His words directly? Oh, not me.
- Jesus tells us in Mark 7:16 that we better be listening.
- He says: “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”
- Is this enough proof yet that the bibles don’t say the same thing? And mean the same thing?
- This should be plenty of proof, but let’s keep going.
- Mark 9:44 and 9:46 are two more verses that have been removed.
- Let’s look at these together because they are similar.
[27] Mark 9:43-46 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
- So Jesus repeats the exact same words in verses 44 and 46. These words have been removed.
- If Jesus repeats something twice, we should probably listen to His words!
- This is a huge warning from Jesus. He is telling us that the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched.
- When I think of this, I think of a horrible place with worms that eternally gnaw and bore through your burning soul.
- I think of intense pain and suffering. Jesus stresses this twice so I better listen.
- But the other versions remove these verses.
- Here’s another one that’s missing, Mark 11:26, which I find to be an amazing omission.
[28] Mark 11:25-26 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
- Here’s another GREAT WARNING from Jesus Christ Himself. These are His words that are being removed!
- Don’t just brush this off as nothing. You can’t remove the words of Jesus and act like nothing is wrong.
- If you do, then you sure don’t understand God and who He is.
- Jesus says: “If you do not forgive, niether will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
- Wow, that’s a pretty big warning. You want to hear another warning? See this:
[29] Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 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.
- That sounds like a pretty important warning for all people that take words out of the book of Revelation.
- And yes, they have changed words in Revelation and changed the meaning of that book too.
- God will take their part out of the book of life where their name can NEVER exist in that book.
I’m not going to go over all 16 verses, but I will leave you with a list of these verses so you can continue the study into these.
- I will also give you a few other examples.
- But, please, know today that these are not the ONLY changes in the modern bible versions.
- There are hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of more changes that change everything about the word of God.
- We don’t need these changes.
[30] A List Of The 16 Missing Verses
- Matthew 17:21
- Matthew 18:11
- Matthew 23:14
- Mark 7:16
- Mark 9:44
- Mark 9:46
- Mark 11:26
- Mark 15:28
- Luke 17:36
- John 5:3-4
- Acts 8:37
- Acts 15:34
- Acts 24:6-8
- Acts 28:29
- Romans 16:24
- 1 John 5:7-8
One More Example Of A Missing Verse That Changes Everything
- I want to take a close look at Acts 8:37 today because this is a missing verse and because of this missing verse the good work of baptism has been corrupted by the Catholic church, which really isn’t a surprise because they are corrupt in so many other ways too.
- Anyone who worships and prays to a human cannot be of God.
- So corruption continues to follow the Catholic religion.
[31] Acts 8:34-37 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
- Now, imagine verse 37 missing from the passage above.
- This is what happens in all the modern bible versions, which are supposedly “NEW AND BETTER” than the King James Bible.
What these other bibles say is that it’s okay for infants to be baptized. It’s okay for anyone to be baptized.
- There is no requirement for baptism. Come one. Come all.
- We’ll throw some water on your head, and you’re saved. This is FALSE!
- No one should be baptized unless they meet the requirement in Acts 8:37, which says that you MUST believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
- This matches everything we know about being saved.
- The entire New Testament says that you must believe on the Son of God to be saved.
With that verse removed, all of these religions can baptize whoever they want and tell the people they are saved.
- This is false teaching that is heresy and will result in the wrath of God coming upon those heretics.
- So, do you really want to put YOUR ETERNITY in the hands of these corrupted bibles?
- I sure wouldn’t take that chance. It’s very easy to prove they are wrong in hundreds of places.
“The Word Easter Shouldn’t Be In The King James Bible”
- The people who won’t let go of their modern bible versions even after showing them many changes and errors are quick to point out that the King James Bible has errors too.
- Oh yeah? Well, let’s see. The word Easter is used in the King James Bible in one spot.
- People who love their modern bible corruption have told me that Easter is a mistake in the King James Bible and that it shouldn’t be used.
- Thanks for giving us a great example to use today to show the corruption of the other bible versions.
- You see: No matter what so-called “error” someone finds in the King James Bible, you can rest easy and know 100% that there are no errors.
- And all so-called errors are usually very easy to disprove depending on how well you know the Bible.
[32] Acts 12:1-5 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
- The modern bible versions change the word “Easter” to “Passover” and then claim they are “correcting” God’s words.
- You see: God doesn’t need man to correct His words. Let’s see clearly why the word “Passover” is wrong.
- If we can show the King James is correct here and all the other bible versions are wrong, this should be enough for you to start using the King James Bible, right?
- One error means a bible is not the inspired word of God!
So King Herod just killed James the brother of John. Now, he wants to take Peter too and does so.
- But, he puts Peter in prison and intends after Easter to bring Peter forth to the people.
- So Peter is kept in prison during this passage.
- The key to understanding Easter in this passage is the part in parentheses in verse 3: “Then were the days of unleavened bread.”
- So Peter was taken during the days of unleavened bread and King Herod was going to wait until Easter was over to bring Peter forth to the people.
- Other versions say Passover versus Easter.
- So, we need to understand the days of unleavened bread and the Passover in order to understand this passage.
- The Passover is a single day on the 14th day of the first month.
- The days of unleavened bread starts on the 15th day of the first month and lasts 7 days.
[33] Leviticus 23:4-8 4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
- So, it’s very easy to see from the verses above that the Passover is on the 14th of the month at even.
- The Feast of Unleavened Bread starts on the 15th of the month and lasts SEVEN DAYS (NOT ONE DAY).
- These 7 days are referred to as the “DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.”
- Here’s a picture of when the Passover and the feast of the unleavened bread occur:
[34]
14th Day |
15th Day |
16th Day |
17th Day |
18th Day |
19th Day |

Feast of Unleavened Bread |

Feast of Unleavened Bread |
- The Christian celebration of Easter ALWAYS occurs after Passover.
- Keep in mind that the Bible clearly states that Passover is ONLY on the 14th of the month.
- The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ was being celebrated during the time of Acts Chapter 12 through the “Easter” celebration.
If Passover is on the 14th and the days of unleavened bread are continuing from Passover, this means King Herod did not need to wait until after “Passover” as the modern bible versions say.
- In the timing of Acts 12:4, the Passover had already occurred because Acts 12:3 tells us that they were in the days of unleavened bread.
- This is obviously AFTER the Passover.
- If they are in the “days of unleavened bread” in Acts 12, this means the Passover was already complete.
- The word Easter is the correct word because Passover doesn’t make any sense.
- The next Passover would be the following year.
Some people might say that passover is the full 8 day-period, but the Bible makes it very clear that it is not 8-days.
- People today might call the Passover a full 8-day period of time.
- This means they are wrong because this doesn’t match what the Bible says, and God Himself created Passover.
- What He says, goes.
[35] Numbers 33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
- If God inspired the words of the King James Bible, you will know that it’s always correct.
- God doesn’t make mistakes.
Other Examples of Words Changing Meaning
- So I want to take the so-called “most accurate” bible version, the New American Standard Bible (NASB), and compare it to the true Bible, the King James.
- All of the other modern bible versions will be similar to this so don’t think another one like the New King James Version is any better. It’s not.
[36]
Verse |
King James Bible |
NASB |
Hosea 11:12 |
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints. |
Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful. |
- One of these must be wrong as the meaning is exactly opposite.
- Is it Judah yet ruleth with God (KJB), OR is Judah unruly against God (NASB)?
- Is Judah faithful with the saints (KJB) or against the Holy One who is faithful (NASB)? Not the same.
- How can these have the same meaning? They can’t. They contradict each other completely.
- You can know that the King James Bible is correct.
- I’m going to give you just a few examples today, but please know there are hundreds and hundreds of changes between the modern bible versions and the King James Bible.
- Remember, it should only take one instance of any bible being wrong to convince you it isn’t the inspired word of God.

King James Bible |
NASB |
Jeremiah 27:1 |
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, |
In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD , saying – |
- Obviously, the King James and NASB in Jeremiah 27:1 do not say the same thing.
- Jehoiakim is NOT Zedekiah. They are not the same person.
- The “experts” believe they can do a better job than God, and they will correct God.
- The original Hebrew text is very clear and it says “Jehoiakim” very clearly.
- But, the so-called experts who write all the bible commentaries for you to follow when you read say things like this: “It is most evident that the prophecy was delivered about the fourth year of Zedekiah and not Jehoiakim as the Hebrew text states.”
- See? These so-called experts know nothing.
- All they have to do is read the very beginning of the book of Jeremiah, which gives the answer:
[38] Jeremiah 1:1-3 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
- So, why do all of these experts want to correct God’s words that He used?
- Jeremiah 27:1 is very easy to understand, and the other bible versions change the name of the person used to someone totally different and wrong.
- It simply tells us the word of Lord came to Jeremiah in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim.
- It didn’t come later in Zedekiah’s reign. God knows when He spoke to Jeremiah.
Do you want to see an example of changing the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
- The Gospel is THE single most important thing we can understand today, and the modern bible versions attempt to change this Gospel.
- If you know the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you’ll see this HUGE ERROR very quickly.

Verse |
King James Bible |
NASB |
John 3:36 |
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. |
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” |
- There’s a HUGE difference in NOT believing the Son of God (KJB) and not obeying the Son of God (NASB).
- This changes the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ. I don’t want any part in that, and I hope you don’t either.
- Changing words like this is HUGE and will confuse anyone who reads the NASB.
- Why would you want to change God’s words? If you do, you sure don’t know God very well.
- The fear of God is not within you if you want to change God’s words.
- Here’s an example of the ONE TRUE GOD from the Bible:
[40] Jeremiah 25:31-33 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
- Do you want to end up like that? Don’t change God’s words.
- He isn’t joking about this, and He isn’t okay with people changing His words.
- And He definitely doesn’t want you using or contributing to the people who are changing His words.
- Don’t spread false words. Use His True Words!
- To end the examples of different words and different meanings between the so-called bibles and the ONE TRUE BIBLE, I want to go to Luke 4:44, which is a very easy and simple verse to understand.
[41]
Verse |
King James Bible |
NASB |
Luke 4:44 |
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. |
So He kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea. |
- So the King James says Galilee in Luke 4:44, and the NASB says Judea.
- These are not even close to the same places. So, which one is right? One of these must be wrong!
- See the map below. And yes, this does matter!
[42]
- As you can see, Judea is far South of Galilee on the map above. Samaria separates the two places.
- They definitely aren’t the same place.
- Let’s look a little earlier in the chapter to see where Jesus is located at the time and go throughout the verses in Luke Chapter 4.
[43] Luke 4:14-16 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
- Nazareth is in Galilee so Jesus is still in Galilee during verses 14 through 16. Let’s look at the map.
- There’s Nazareth. It’s celar Jesus is still in Galilee. Let’s keep going.
[44] Luke 4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
- So now Jesus is in Capernaum, which is a city of Galilee. So let’s look at the map again. He’s still in Galilee.
- No where between verse 31 and verse 44 does it say that Jesus left Galilee.
- He goes to Peter’s house and into a desert place, but it never says He leaves Galilee.
- Let’s not stop at the end of Chapter 4. Verse 44 is the very end of Chapter 4.
- Let’s look at the first verse of Chapter 5.
[45] Luke 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
[46]
- Lake Gennesaret is the Sea of Galilee. There’s no argument over that by anyone I’ve ever seen.
- So, let’s look at the map. The Sea of Galilee is in Galilee! Wow. That was difficult to disprove, right?
- If this isn’t enough proof that He is in Galilee at the time, let’s look to the other Gospels, which have the same stories.
[47]
Verse |
King James Bible |
NASB |
Matthew 4:23 |
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. |
Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people. |
- The Book of Matthew tells us its Galilee.
[48]
Verse |
King James Bible |
NASB |
Mark 1:39 |
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. |
And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons. |
- The Book of Mark tells us its Galilee.
- Every word of God is important because false words cause confusion.
- It’s easy to see the NASB is corrupted just by using the example above.
- The NASB contradicts itself within its own text.
- You don’t even need the King James Bible to show this contradiction.
- See? It’s very confusing when you have errors and changes throughout all the corrupted bibles.
- If you think Galilee and Judea are the same place, you would be wrong.
- Luke tells us this and makes the difference very clear in Luke 2:4.
[49] Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
- If they were the same place, the Bible wouldn’t make this distinction.
- Some people just keep trying to defend their corrupt bibles. Just let it go.
- Get a King James Bible, and your faith will grow exponentially.
- We could go on for years showing the errors in all the other bible versions.
- This should be enough to convince you. If not, please take this warning one last time:
[50] John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
- You better hear what God is saying to you today.
- If you don’t want to hear it, you better go back to the beginning and accept the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Once you accept that and believe God’s words, you will be saved.
- Then, you will hear His voice in His Bible.
There Is Power Where The Word Of A King Is
- I want to close this sermon today with a couple more verses from the perfect word of God.
- You can remember this next verse and know that the King James Bible is the inspired word of God.
[51] Ecclesiastes 8:4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
- No other Bible version has the power of a King behind it.
- God used King James to give us His inspired words.
- God’s words are true words and pure words that you can trust with all that you have.
- When you understand God and who He is, you can smile and know that He gave us His words through a King.
- God is amazing!
[52] 2 Samuel 7:28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
- You see that? God has promised to give us His true words.
- God doesn’t lie, and He doesn’t break His promises to His servants.
- We are His servants, and we’ll do as He asks. His words tell us what He wants.
- Without those, we would be lost just as the people are lost who are using corrupted bibles.
- We need to show them the truth so they can turn back to God. Some are just lost and need our help getting back.
[53] Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
- I love that verse. He that sat upon the throne says that His words are true and faithful. Yes they are.
- Thank you God for your words today.
Conclusion To The Inspired Word of God
- I want to close right now with one last thought.
- You see: God doesn’t need multiple bibles to say what He means. He is God. He says it, and there it is.
- He doesn’t say it, and then need man to change His words.
[54]

One Truth |

- Remember that today. God doesn’t need 500 bibles to say what He needs to say.
- I hope today with everything that I have that you see the truth.
- Get yourself a King James Bible and burn the rest of them.
Let’s pray.
