Perversions (Part 2)

Other problems!

Who prospers you?

KJB

1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

NKJV

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

ESV

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.

NIV

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

NASB

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

 

 

Who was manifest in the flesh? The King James Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ was GOD!

KJB

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

ESV
1 Timothy 3:16

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world,  taken up in glory.

 

NIV

1 Timothy 3:16  Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. 

 

NASB

1 Timothy 3:16 By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.  

 

 

Who did Stephen call on? Again, the King James Bible refers to Christ as GOD!

 

ESV

Acts 7:59​ And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

NIV

Acts 7:59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

NASB

Acts 7:59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

KJB

Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

 

Who laid down His life for you? AGAIN the King James Bible is the one that says it was GOD who did that!

KJB

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

 

NIV

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

 

ESV

1 John 3:16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

 

NKJV

1 John 3:16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

 

NASB
1 John 3:16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Was Jesus Christ a "begotten God"??? NO! However, the NASB and the Jehovah's Witness "bibles" say that He was! That is heresy, which results in the false teaching of TWO gods, one being begotten and the other one unbegotten.

KJB  

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 

 

NASB 

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.  

NWT 

John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten god who is in the bosom with the Father is the one who explained him.

 

Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16--KJB) and He has been around from "everlasting" (Micah 5:2)....but not according to the NIV and ESV!

 

KJB 

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

 

NIV 

Micah 5:2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.

 

ESV

Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.

 

Jesus Christ did NOT have "origins" from "ancient times" or "ancient days", He was "FROM EVERLASTING". 

 

Did Christ think that being equal with God was not a thing to be grasped like the ESV says? NO! He did not have to "grasp" being equal with God because He was already God, that is why the KJB says that He did not think it was robbery to be equal with God!

 

KJB

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

 

ESV

Philippians 2:6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 

 

 

Was Joseph Christ's father? No! Christ was virgin born, but not according to the PERVERSIONS.

 

KJB

Luke 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

 

NIV

Luke 2:33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.

 

ESV

Luke 2:33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.

 

NASB

Luke 2:33 And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.  

 

Is God through with the nation of Israel forever? Will He always be angry with them? NO! God will punish the Jews during the tribulation, but those who get saved will be re-gathered at the 2nd coming of Christ and then He will "bring upon them all the good" that He has promised them (Jeremiah 30:1-24, 31:31-34, 32:36-42). However, the Amplified Version says that God is COMPLETELY finished with the Jews.

KJB

1 Thessalonians 2:
[14] For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
[15] Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
[16] Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

 

Amplified Version 

1 Thessalonians 2:

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators of the assemblies (churches) of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you too have suffered the same kind of treatment from your own fellow countrymen as they did [who were persecuted at the hands] of the Jews,

¹⁵ Who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and harassed and drove us out, and continue to make themselves hateful and offensive to God and to show themselves foes of all men,

¹⁶ Forbidding and hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles (the nations) that they may be saved. So as always they fill up [to the brim the measure of] their sins. But God’s wrath has come upon them at last [completely and forever]!

 

 

Why would anyone use a PERVERSION of the word of God instead of God perfectly preserved word of God, the King James Bible? Any saved person will be able to look at these perversions and be able to discern that the King James Bible is the pure word of God, not the corrupt modern versions that are based on the Egyptian Greek manuscripts.  

 

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.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 8:
[43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
[44] 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.
[45] And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
[46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
[47] He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

John 10:1-5, 26-27  
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.....But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

1 Corinthians 2:
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
[10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
[11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
