Scripture Preservation and Scripture Corruption
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (I Thessalonians 5:21)
“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13)
The scriptures instruct us to “Prove all things”, and they also tell us that “it is folly and shame unto him”“that answereth a matter before he heareth it”. Throughout the scriptures we find God's promises to preserve his words. In the book of Psalms we find: “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 [God] shalt preserve them [the words of the Lord] from this generation for ever.” (Psa. 12:6). Jesus Christ said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matt. 24:35). And King Solomon said, “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.” (Prov. 30:5,6). Unlike modern bible versions, the text of the English Bible conformable to the 1611 edition commonly called the Authorized Version or KJV follows a long line of scripture preservation. Someone might ask, "But, where was the English Bible before 1611?" For those who take the time to look there is overwhelming evidence of the preserved English Bible. Numerous copies of the English New Testament which existed before the fifteenth century have been identified (The Cambridge History of the Bible, vol. 2, pp. 389-390 et al.). The English Bibles bellow attest to scripture preservation in our early English Bibles and scripture corruption in modern bible versions.
A careful perusal of modern bible versions will reveal the fact that they demote the Lord Jesus Christ and promote fallen man – one step at a time.
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17:11)
Note: The following scripture verses are printed in modern type font with the original spelling being retained. Rules of spelling in Early English were almost non-existent. Sounding out the word will usually help. Two styles of the letter "s" were used; this is why a lower case "s" sometimes resembled a lower case "f". The letters "j" and "i" were printed the same in both lower and upper cases. The letters "u" and "v" were often interchangeable; this is why we call a "w" a "double-u" and not a "double-v".

The KJV Bible -- 1611

The Bishop's Bible -- 1568
“13And the sea gaue vp her dead whiche were in her, and death and hell delyuered vp the dead whiche were in them: and they were iudged euery man accordyng to his deedes. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fyre. This is the seconde death.”

“13The sea gave up its dead; then Death and Hades gave up their dead. All the dead were judged according to their deeds. 14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the pool of fire. (This pool of fire is the second death.)”
New World Translation -- 1984
“13And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha´des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. 14And death and Ha´des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.”
New King James Version -- 1982

New International Version -- 1984
“13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.”
New Living Translation -- 2004
“13The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.”
Note that the word “hell” has been replaced with “Hades” or “the grave” or “the netherworld”. By leaving the Greek word for hell, Hades, untranslated, the reader is left to decide for himself the “true meaning” of the word. See Hell is the correct translation which explains the etymology of the word.
Note that these scripture passages in the 1611 KJV, and in all uncorrupted KJV's, agree with the text of these earlier English Bibles; whereas modern bible versions have broken this vital line of scripture preservation. Not only do these new modern bible versions disagree with the KJV and earlier English Bibles, but in many places they match the Jehovah Witness' New World Translation as well as the Catholic Douay/Rheims and NAB versions. Like Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, the Catholic church and the Jehovah's Witness organization teach a progressive or works-based salvation. And all new bible versions are influenced by works-based salvation methodologies. Unfortunately, those who don't take the time and effort to “search out a matter” and “prove all things” are unaware of the importance of these facts (Prov. 25:2; Hosea 4:6; 1 Thess. 5:21; Rev. 1:6), and are thus unaware of the role that corrupt bible versions are playing in setting the stage for the new age one world religion and new world order of antichrist.
You may have heard the myth of the four so called “Revisions” of the KJV, a revision myth perpetuated by “wise and prudent” 'scholars' and theologians. The facts show that these were by no means revisions, but editions only. The KJV Bible (not to be confused with the NKJV) is the same today as it was a hundred years ago and beyond. In 1858 the American Bible Society wrote a report on the present condition of the Authorized Version English Bible, which stated, “[The] English Bible as left by the translators has come down to us unaltered in respect to its text.” (Crowned With Glory: The Bible from Ancient Text to the Authorized Version, Thomas Holland, p.101; Answers to Your Bible Version Questions, David Daniels, p.128). What the critics of the Authorized Version refer to as revisions were mere corrections of spellings, punctuations and the like made because of the tediousness involved in the early printing process. A careful comparison of a 1611 edition with any KJV today will readily put to rest this revision fallacy. The 1769 edition (KJV) also was not a revision, but simply an edition which only standardized the spelling of the 1611 Version, and is of no comparison to modern bible version alterations. Only the King James Bible matches “the scriptures...to all nations,” which the “Holy Ghost” gave “every nation under heaven” in their “own language” (Rom. 16:26, Acts 2:4, 5, 6). A thorough collation of the valuable Nuremberg 12 Language Polyglot of A.D. 1599, shows that only the KJV matches the historic Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Danish, Old Latin, Polish and other language scriptures, written before the KJV.
New bible versions claim to be ‘much clearer’ updates to the old ‘outdated’ KJV. But, unlike modern versions which remove what they consider to be “obsolete words” like “thee, thou and ye”, the KJV remains faithful to the original texts. The NKJV states, “These pronouns are no longer part of our language.” But “thee, thou and ye” were “no longer part of our language” during 1611 either (read the intro to the 1611 KJV Bible written by the translators themselves, there are no “thee”, “thou” and “ye”). Webster's Third New International Dictionary, says of ye: “used from the earliest of times to the late 13th century” (p.2648). And yet the 1611 Authorized Version (KJV) was published some 400 years later in the 17th century. So why did the KJV translators use these so called ‘outdated’ “obsolete” words? The Greek and Hebrew languages contain a different word for the second person singular and the second person plural pronouns. Today we use the one-word “you” for both the singular and plural. But because the translators of the 1611 King James Bible desired an accurate, word-for-word translation of the Hebrew and Greek text – they could not use the one-word “you” throughout (if it begins with “t” (thou, thee, thy, thine) it's singular, but if it begins with “y” (ye) it's plural). Modern bible versions claim to be “more accurate”, and yet the 1611 KJV, by using “thee”, “thou” and “ye”, is far more accurate!
To translate the Bible the KJV translators had the entire original work (vast numbers of original language manuscripts, many citations of the early church fathers, and numerous bible translations in different languages from various lands) which contains the word in question and could read the word ‘in use’ in its entire context. Those who translate modern bibles today from Greek to English have only modern, secular and mystical viewpoints to draw from, and must, therefore, rely on the corrupt words of unsaved liberal lexicon writers.
A dirty little secret that new bible version translators and editors don't want you to know is that they are not looking for a more accurate translation of a word to replace the word in the KJV Bible because the copyright laws state that they must make significant changes to the text in order to procure a copyright, thus enabling them to earn royalties. The derivative copyright law insists that: “To be copyrightable, a derivative work must be different enough from the original to be regarded as a ‘new work’ or must contain a substantial amount of new material. Making minor changes or additions of little substance to a pre-existing work will not qualify the work as a newversion for copyright purposes.” Therefore all new Bible versions must change those simple one or two syllable Anglo-Saxon words to complex Latinized words. Because of this copyright law, there will never be an easier to read Bible than the KJV. What many of the authors of the so called “modern contemporary English Bibles” fail to understand is that the KJV was not written in seventeenth century contemporary English; it was written in Biblical English that every born again child of God can understand.
“All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.” (Prov. 8:8,9)
While many modern bible versions claim to be up-dated versions of our early English Bibles, nothing could be farther from the truth. All modern bible versions draw from a fountain of death spewed from the pens of two nineteenth century theologians named Westcott and Hort who created their own Greek New Testament text: “they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.” (Jer. 2:13; 17:13). These “wise and prudent” 'scholars' used two of the most corrupt manuscripts in existence to translate the Bible — Alexandrian text types known as “Sinaiticus” (Codex Aleph discovered 1844) and “Vaticanus” (Codex B discovered 1845), named for where they were discovered in the nineteenth century. Known as the “ancient authorities” or “older manuscripts”, they disagree with each other in over 3,000 places in the gospels alone. Those who used the “Received Text” down through the centuries had access to Alexandrian texts such as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, but rejected them as corrupt, and trashed them. Whenever anyone, whether it is a preacher, college professor, teacher, television speaker, etc. - refers to the “original language,” or “a better translation of this word,” they are using texts based on Westcott’s and Hort’s translations of the two Alexandrian texts. In nearly every instance, perhaps all, where the reader finds notes in his Bible that question the translation of any passage, the editor of that Bible is referring to Westcott’s and Hort’s work and the Alexandrian texts. Sometimes a marginal note will say something such as, “The better mss read....,” or, “Omitted in the better mss....”
“For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, [in ancient Greek, which you don't understand] neither is it far off [in the 5000 or so manuscripts held in the Vatican or in museums around the world]. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, [buried in some yet to be found papyri] that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.” (Deut.30:11-14)
We have no reason to doubt that the KJV Bible we hold in our hands is the very word of God preserved for us in the English language. The authority for its veracity lies not in the first printing of the KJV in 1611, or in the scholarship of the 1611 translators, or even in the Greek Received Text. As David Reagan said, “Our authority for the infallible words of the English Bible lies in the power and promise of God to preserve His Word! God has the power. We have His Word.”
“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: 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.”(Rev. 22:18,19)
AUTHENTIC KING JAMES VERSION HOLY BIBLES PRINTED BETWEEN 1611 and 1872 Comparing the Texts of these early KJV Bibles with a modern un-corrupt KJV shows that the Authorized Version of 1611 has never gone through a single Textual Revision and proves that God has indeed kept his promise to preserve his pure word.
THE HOLY BIBLE, Printed in 1611 Seeing its readings proves to cynics that the KJV's text has never been "revised" and is identical to that used today (except for the rare 1611 typographical slips which were shortly thereafter fixed by King James translators themselves).
