ARE THERE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE BIBLE VERSIONS?
“Ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36
Before we begin …. In the same way that non KJB-ers don’t wish to be condemned by some of the harsh, self-righteous devils out there whose religion is KJB, not Christ, even so, those who are not KJB only should grant the same liberty in non-essentials to those who read only the KJB …amen? Romans 14.
As a reader of the King James Bible I have absolutely no condemnation towards many of my friends who read other versions! (knowing those versions are all corrupt) Yet, there is a deep conviction in my own heart based on years of comparison. No one on this planet is going to convince me that removing verses like Matthew 17:21, chopping Romans 8:1 in half, removing “through HIS BLOOD” in Colossians 1:14, and completely neutering 1 John 5:7 is okay ….. See Revelation 22:18-19.
SATAN HAS FOR 6,000 YEARS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS OF TWISTING GOD’S WORDS. REMEMBER HOW THE DEVIL ADDED JUST ONE WORD TO WHAT GOD TOLD ADAM AND THEREBY CAUSED THE VERY FALL OF MANKIND? (GENESIS 2:17; 3:4) HOW ABOUT WHEN SATAN QUOTED SCRIPTURE WHEN TEMPTING JESUS AND TWISTED IT? (MATTHEW 4) TODAY, MOST MEN IN “CHRISTIAN” LEADERSHIP ARE SO FAR BURIED IN THE DARKNESS OF THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS, THAT THEY CAN’T SEE THIS AND MANY OF THEM EVEN DEFEND SATAN’S TWISTED CORRUPTIONS OF GOD’S WORD. GET SHAKEN!
WHEN the LORD’s truth is twisted/changed in any way-YOUR little feelings don’t matter! (Romans 3:4)
NO DIFFERENCE IN THE BIBLE VERSIONS? … Today, many a poor, arrogant soul who claims to be a professor, preacher, pastor, author, and otherwise, is blinded beyond belief. He can’t see Satan standing in his face because he follows mere sinful religious men who have never stopped to prayerfully ponder how that Satan is still twisting and perverting the very words of his archenemy – the LORD. He gullibly relies on his seminarian “training” and the commentaries of mere sinful men instead of getting his own life in God’s Word for himself. He passes these lies on to others. Many a modern religionist refuses to truly lay down his life and seek the face of the LORD and is thereby blinded (2 Corinthians 3:14-18). The veil of darkness covers the eyes of his understanding. Like the willingly blinded Pharisees/false leaders of Christ’s day, some today cling to the traditional thought of their conspiratorial priestcraft and are thereby turned over to “strong delusion” by God Himself for choosing to hate the light of holy truth (Mark 7:6-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
Friend, did God make you with reasoning faculties or do you need some other so-called “scholar” or “expert” to tell you simple, self-evident truths? Who sold us that lie?
—–SICKENING FILTH IN YOUR FACE – Virginia Mollencott-NIV Lesbian Translator – WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FRIEND? —– IS IT TIME TO GET THE REAL BIBLE? TRASH, burn, your NIV …. it’s garbage and so are all new versions …. Get a King James Bible beloved if you desire the pure Word of God (Psalms 12:6-7). Gullibility is a curse. HOW could any true disciple of Christ defend this evil filth?
If a person is under a “strong delusion” which God says that He Himself sends to those who do not have the love of His truth, they have “the spirit of error” and will seek to justify such atrocious corruption of the very words of our LORD as we see plainly in the new versions. See 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 1 John 4:1-6. These things which are causing the prophesied “falling away” are “after the working of Satan.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 9-12) I am disturbed with those who pretend to be operating as watchmen and don’t see the blatant corruptions/errors in the new versions for what they are – diabolical.
Anyone who does good research will find out that the new versions of the Bible are corrupted because they come from Catholic/Vatican manuscripts.
The Bible tells us plainly that God used “holy MEN of God who spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” to give us His written Word (2 Peter 1:20-21). So, God sovereignly kept His Word intact by keeping His promise to preserve it to all generations (Psalms 12:6-7).
The Author of the KJV and the author of the new versions cannot be the same. There are far too many major doctrinal differences for such to be the case. These versions cannot possibly be from the same source. When comparing verses, there is no doubt at all which one is from God and the corrupt per-versions.
*If God’s Word is important, and it is, beyond our comprehension, then this issue of Bible versions is important and not a side issue to be ignored. Jesus informed us that Satan has come “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” and if the enemy has taken away or added to God’s words, we must know about it. All who are not truly submitted to God will be snared by the enemy and ultimately suffer eternal damnation (John 10:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; James 4:7). We get our knowledge of God through His Word and if in fact His words have been perverted, then we must know about it. “Ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” (Jeremiah 23:36)
4 SILENCING VERSES – Here are the 4 verses I compare with people. There is rarely an argument when a King James and a new version are laid open and compared side by side. Watch this:
Matthew 17:21 removed in new versions because Satan didn’t want God’s people to know how to cast him out
Romans 8:1 chopped in half because Satan wants believers to believe his ‘once saved always saved’ lie
Colossians 1:14 “through his BLOOD” removed because the LORD Jesus is Satan’s enemy
1 John 5:7 the clearest verse in the Bible on the triune nature of God all but removed because Satan didn’t want God’s people to understand the nature of the Godhead
Never argue this topic, just show them. Write these verses above on a sticky and put them in your Bible. Memorize and cross-reference these references so you can be ready always to give an answer (1 Peter. 3:15).
DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
“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.” Psalms 138:2
Did you know He magnified it above His own name? Those who would downplay the importance of this issue, are clearly misled. This is no small issue in the divine economy. We get our knowledge of God by His written Word and if that Word has been altered, it must be uncovered.
Sorry guys but I just can’t live without the 64,000 words the NIV (Nearly Inspired Version) removed. I gotta have Jesus’ instruction on how to overcome unbelief and cast out the archenemy of Christ and our souls – the devil!!!! Matthew 17:21 is removed in new per-versions! Sorry, but I gotta have all of Romans 8:1 and not just half of it! The new per-versions chopped it in half! So, praise God for His preserved Word in the Authorized Version (AV). Is this Bible version issue a big issue? Well, let’s answer that by asking:
Is overcoming our enemy important? (Matthew 17:21 removed)
Did God say there are 2 or just 1 condition for being saved eternally? (Romans 8:1 chopped in half!)
Can anyone be saved without Christ’s very blood? Colossians 1:14 – “through his blood” removed!
Is the doctrine of the triune nature of the Godhead important? 1 John 5:7 is totally reconstructed, neutered, and made meaningless in new per-versions.
If those cardinal doctrines aren’t important to the Christian faith, then give me a story book, fairy tale version like these new corruptions (NIV, NAS, The Message, etc.). But … if overcoming the enemy (Matthew 17:21), being saved and walking in the Spirit (Romans 8:1), the very blood of Jesus (Colossians 1:14), and the triune nature of God are important (1 John 5:7), then as for me, I will read the real Bible and not some counterfeit the conspiratorial, apostate leadership of today endorse (Ezekiel 22:25-27). I can have zero respect for new versions and the corrupted manuscripts from which Satan had them taken.
In fact, I refuse to compare verses in the different versions while studying because God didn’t make a mistake when He kept His promise in preserving His Word in our language, purifying it seven times (Psalms 12:6-7). No need to compare God’s pure Word with diabolically contaminated per-versions of the Scriptures. Is the divine Person of the Holy Spirit not able to teach Jesus’ true saints? If not, we call the Son of God a liar (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27). Did Jesus say that He gave God the Holy Ghost OR the Greek and Hebrew to teach us? Read the verses referenced in the previous sentence for the answer.
“Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away (steals) the word…” Mark 4:15
Jesus told us that Satan is the thief who has come only “to STEAL, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)
Who can’t see that there are hoof prints on the removal of Matthew 17:21, the instructions Jesus gave of how to cast out devils? Am I supposed to be so blind, gullible, and ignorant as to believe that Satan, whom Jesus said “cometh…and taketh away…” had nothing to do with that? (Mark 4:15) Haha, nice try, but no thanks.
The most regrettable and astounding thing is that so many who are Christians or say they are, come to the defense of Satan’s masterpieces of deception – the new per-versions!
If God’s Word and having exactly what He wanted us to know is not important then let’s not concern ourselves with this topic. But, if it is, then something must be said!
-See Video of Dr. Frank Logston Below-
If you want true spiritual growth, get the real Word of God and burn the fairy tale new version you have. This is exactly what the LORD instructed me to do over 20 years ago when the corruptions of the new versions I was reading began to surface. I have been and am extremely grateful to our LORD for showing me such. The prophesied great falling away is underway and it has come largely at the hands of watered down, tainted, chopped up, and butchered false “Bible” versions.
Now, if you are a true child of God, I love you and will not argue with you about this. Yet, it is far too important a matter than to just pass over and not speak of.
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live (have spiritual life from God) by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4
The term “EVERY WORD of God” appears in God’s Word several times. No man has been granted by God the slightest authority to alter His Word.
Many today have listened to a certain wolf named James White. They merely quote and parrot a mere man and a known doctrinal heretic at that. James White is Satan’s agent of misinformation to try to confirm Satan’s versions and keep duped people reading those per-versions. This is a spiritual matter and cannot be discerned merely by supposed facts (1 Corinthians 2:13-14). Any God-fearing, truly born again believer knows that it’s NOT okay to ever remove even one word from God’s Word (Revelation 22:18-19).
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
All New Versions are Catholic Bibles – they come from the Catholic corrupted and controlled manuscripts (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus).
How many sins did Adam and Eve commit to get them kicked out of God’s presence? One! How many times did Uzzah disobey God by touching the ark and thereby being struck dead? Once! 2 Samuel 6.
How many words are okay to remove or change in God’s Word?
Keeping your false version of the “bible” may come in handy for the purpose of literally opening the Bibles side by side to compare those 4 verses listed in this post. All defense for such diabolical atrocity will be shattered and silenced.
—– WHY DO I UN-APOLOGETICALLY READ THE KING JAMES BIBLE? WHY do I have zero regard or respect for the new versions?
IF YOU READ OR QUOTE FROM ONE OF THE NEW VERSIONS, understand that when you read the quotes below, that these quotes are from the devils who crafted that so-called “bible” you read.
Check this out. Put on your seat belt!
***WOULD YOU read a “bible” by men who said this concerning the Scriptures?:
“I reject the word infallibility of Holy Scriptures overwhelmingly.” (Westcott, The Life and Letters of Brook Foss Westcott, Vol. I, p.207).
“Our Bible as well as our Faith is a mere compromise.” (Westcott, On the Canon of the New Testament, p. vii).
“Evangelicals seem to me perverted. . .There are, I fear, still more serious differences between us on the subject of authority, especially the authority of the Bible.” (Hort, The Life and Letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. I, p.400)
“Dr. Wilbur Pickering writes that, Hort did not hold to a high view of inspiration.” (The Identity of the New Testament Text, p.212)
Perhaps this is why both the RV (which Westcott and Hort helped to translate) and the American edition of it, the ASV, translated 2nd Timothy 3:16 as, “Every scripture inspired of God” instead of “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (KJV).
If you are reading a new version “bible” it came directly from the work of these wicked, unsaved men.
ALL new “bible” versions come from the corrupted manuscripts which were perverted by these two evil men, Wescott and Hort.
See if you can begin to see why so many truth-seeking, Holy Ghost disciples of Jesus reject the new versions….. just take a quick look at those behind these per-versions ….
After seeing these things, namely comparing verses side by side, I can’t understand why any true follower of Christ would defend or wouldn’t take a strong stand against them.
As reported by Brian Sirois:
“H.P. Blavatsky also attended the “Ghostly Guild” meetings with Westcott and Hort, along with Charles Darwin. In her books Isis Unveiled Vol. 1 and 2, and The Secret Doctrine Vol. 1 and 2, Blavatsky says, “we have the Bible in true in Codex Sinaiticus (א) and Codex Vaticanus (B)” and goes on to say ” Westcott and Hort were true scholars that corrected the errors in previous versions.” Blavatsky also said that Westcott was the father of “channeling.”
Now listen to this quote by her,
“Now that the ‘Revised Version’ of the gospels has been published by Westcott and Hort, and the most glaring mistranslations in the old version, the King James, are corrected, one will better understand the words. The text of the English Protestant Bible is in disagreement as usual with the Alexandrian text. That which for nearly 1,500 years was opposed on Christianism of a book of which every word was written under direct supervision of the Holy Ghost; of which not one syllable or comma could be changed without Sacrilege, but now is being retranslated, revised and corrected and clipped of whole verses, and in some cases almost entire chapters. And as soon as the new edition is out, its doctors Westcott and Hort will have us accept it as new revelation of the 19th century. And the King James translators have made such a jumble of it, that no one but an occultist can restore the Bible to its original form.”
(H.P. Blavatsky, on the Bible, Isis Unveiled.)
In 1903, Westcott’s son “Arthur Westcott” published his father’s letters in a two volume book entitled, “Life and Letters of Brooke Foss Westcott.”
Westcott shows his love for ROMAN CATHOLICISM on page 81, when he writes,
“After leaving the monastery we shaped our course to a little oratory which we discovered on the summit of neighbouring hill, and by a little scrambling we reached it. Fortunately we found the door open. It is very small, with one kneeling-place; and behind a screen was a “Pietà” the size of life (i.e. a virgin and dead Christ). The sculpture was painted, and such a group in such a place and at such a time was deeply impressive. I could not help thinking on the fallen grandeur of the Romish Church, on her zeal even in error, on her earnestness and self-devotion, which we might nobler views and a purer end, strive to imitate. Had I been alone I could have knelt there for hours.”
My Identity is in Jesus Christ, not a Bible version and yet, there are grave concerns.
I choose not to condemn others who might still think the new versions are okay. At the same time, here is my personal conviction and the reasons for such a conviction:
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, nail-scarred risen Savior and LORD, is my Master. He told us He would “preserve” His Word to our generation. Upon personal research and comparison of the versions, it is my conviction (not so much a preference), that the Word of God is preserved in the Authorized Version (Psalms 12:6-7). I believe, after many years of comparing verses, that all the versions cannot be from the same ultimate source/author. The removal of the blood of Christ (Col. 1:14), the butchering of the clearest verse in the Bible on the triune nature of God (1 John 5:7), the removal of fasting and prayer (Matt. 17:21), and chopping Romans 8:1 in half, are but a few great concerns. They seem to point to the work of an enemy of God instead of God Himself. That’s not even to mention the 64,000 words removed from the NIV, which along with the other new versions, was translated from the very few corrupted manuscripts. Is “the love of money” still “the root of all evil”? (1 Tim. 6:10) Of course it is and always will be among sinful men and so why should anyone be surprised that evil men would change God’s Word in order to get a slice of the monetary pie on the best selling book in all of history? They have taken upon themselves to change (add to and take away) from God’s Word and brought an eternal curse upon themselves in doing so (Rev. 22:18-19). The plagues include the very lake of fire (Rev. 20:10-15). With no apology to anyone, I personally will have no part with it.
“The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11
Bible Versions Pages that are Very Eye-Opening:
Dr. Ken Matto writes:
“Just as the King James Bible has a rich lineage of uncorrupted transmission through the ages, the modern versions also have a lineage. Their lineage is one of corruption, deletion, omission, addition, rejection and confusion. Modern versions are the fruit of arrogant scholarship which includes homosexuals who worked on the NIV. God never calls unbelievers to preach and neither would He call a sodomite to translate His Word.
If your pastor rejects the pure lineage of the King James Bible and accepts the corrupt translations, then he is a proponent of modern scholarship which exalts the god of education above the God of the Bible. They are seriously deceived and are a danger to spiritual growth.”
My Personal Testimony in a Nutshell
Brothers and sisters, I hope these words find you trusting, truly worshiping, abiding, and fearing the LORD. I also, like many of you, was reading the NIV early on after our LORD saved my wretched soul, but then, one day, accidentally (not quite), I was shown a verse in the NASB. It was Romans 8:1 and it has been cut in half! My jaw hit the ground. I was literally shocked that there could possibly be a misprint in God’s Word. I will never get over that day as long as I live! My eyes began to open right then and I embarked upon an investigation of the differences in the Bible versions and those differences are significant, so be not deceived. “Letnomandeceiveyouby any means.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
Our Teacher: Greek and Hebrew or the Holy Spirit?
To a brother that was saying that one must understand the Greek and Hebrew to understand God, we responded with:
God gave / preserved His Word for us in our language just as He promised (Psalms 12:6-7). We don’t even know the English words of Holy Scripture as we should….. Yes we have “the CERTAINTY of the words of truth” in God’s Word so yes we can be sure (Prov. 22:17-21). Jesus says that the divine Person of the Holy Ghost is our Teacher, not the original languages (John 14:26; 16:13-14, etc.).
You don’t need to learn Greek or Hebrew. You don’t need Bible College or (God forbid) seminary. We need more of Jesus who gave us His Word and Holy Spirit (Psalms 119:105). It’s a lie undergirded by pride to say that God’s people need Hebrew or Greek. Sinful men wish to have something over others, so they use this device to bring men under their control by wielding over them this idea that THEY know the original language (2 Peter 2:19). Beware. This is a sham. God gave us His Word in our language and told us that the divine Person of the Holy Ghost is our Teacher, not the original language (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27).
Getting on the Same Page
“Sound in the Faith” Titus 1:13; 2:2
“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine.” Titus 2:1
The definition of words and terms can vary and so in order to be biblically sound, I will continue to transform and conform my language to the exact language that the Scriptures use. I think this to be in alignment with what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1 where he spoke of us all speaking the same thing.
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” 1 Corinthians 1:10
The proliferation of corrupted new versions of the Bible has further routed the people of God, fragmenting the words and language of Holy Scripture and causing nearly no memorization and retention due to every supposedly inspired “Bible” having different language. Satan hit a home run with his new versions. Recently, I quoted several Scriptures from the King James Bible to a pastor. The look on his face told me that he had never heard those words. So, I shared with him the actual Bible references so he would know that those are literal Bible Scriptures. Saints, let’s all get a KJV Bible, the real English Bible, and learn, memorize and speak those words of God. Forget the excuses friend and just get the real Word of God. Never mind Satan’s lying excuse that you can’t understand the KJV. The divine Person of the Holy Spirit is your Teacher, so what is it that HE can’t teach you?
Virgin Birth / Deity of Jesus Christ Attacked
“The NIV drops ‘the only begotten Son’ completely from John 1:14 and 1:18.” Ian Paisley, My Plea for the Old Sword, p. 82
No one can be saved outside of believing that Jesus was born of a virgin having been “begotten of the Father.” (John 1:14) Jesus was “the ONLY begotten Son” which makes Him unique in all history and the only fulfillment of all the Messianic prophecies
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14
We were foretold that the Messiah would be born of a “virgin.” Yet, amazingly, the NIV takes away the word “virgin” in Isaiah 7:14.
The new versions are clearly from the enemy of all souls. They are an open and brazen attack on the Son of God as they deny Him in a myriad of ways.
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? (THE virgin-born Messiah) He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23)
“Knowing the attack wielded in the early centuries of Christianity against the essential deity and true, proper and impeccable humanity of our Lord, it can be rightfully concluded that, out of satanic hatred and hellish malice against the truth itself, the intention of the corrupter of God’s Holy Word was striking at the central truth of the Word of Salvation and tacitly denying what he dared not open exclude, that Jesus Christ was ‘come in the flesh.’ The saint of God rightly discerns here the ‘spirit of antichrist.’” Ian Paisley, My Plea for the Old Sword, p. 80
DIETY DENIAL SHOCKER!
WAS God or Immanuel, “manifest in the flesh” OR was He not? The new version denial of the incarnation of Jesus Christ is a brazen attack against the Father and His Christ. This is seen in the NIV and other new versions is seen also is 1 Timothy 3:16. Watch this:
KJV 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.”
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.”
Just WHO is “He” that “appeared in the flesh”? Was “He” Buddha? Was “He” Mohammed”? Are you beginning to see the point?
It doesn’t seem to me that any truly born again person, after seeing the many differences in the versions, namely actual verses compared, would do anything but get a KJV Bible and begin exposing the new versions for the diabolical weapons of deception that they are. Compare: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; Colossians 1:14; 1 John 5:7.
More Vitals …
It’s only the agent of Satan who is under the dominion of “the spirit of antichrist,” who would dare cast doubt on God’s Word. It was Satan himself who did this first when he told the woman, “hath God said?” (Genesis 3:4) In doing this he cast doubt on what the LORD had stated. Those who dare do such today reveal plainly who they are serving.
Here is some vital information that reveals shocking differences between the King James Bible and the new Bible versions. Have the central and foundational doctrines that make up the historic Christian faith been altered which were divinely transmitted through “holy men of God” and “once delivered to the saints”? (2 Pet. 1:20-21; Jude 3-4) If so, could this be a diabolical plot to weaken the Church, making way for the great and foretold falling away in the final days before Christ returns? (2 Thess. 2:3; Rev. 12:12) To those who have not previously investigated this subject, these questions themselves may sound radical, but please read on and become informed before you draw conclusion. WARNING: You may be shocked by the things revealed on this page. With the exception of the first listing (Verse Comparison), the remainder of the information is from other ministries (we may not agree with these other ministries on all points).
“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.” Proverbs 30:5-6
If God’s Word has been changed, do you think it’s right to know and talk about it? If not, what do we seek to hide? Are there people claiming to be Christians who are covering for the devil – hiding his destructive lies from the people? If God’s very words have been in any way altered, so has His doctrine and thus we discover the greatest evil ever perpetrated upon the world. Satan and sin are so deeply rooted in the hearts of some men, that some will actually argue to justify this unspeakable atrocity of the changing of God’s Word and go to any length to justify such unadulterated evil! (2 Cor. 11:12-15)
“For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36
Beloved, these people are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They claim to be servants of the LORD while they seek to justify and defend the gross, brazen and unabashed perversion of His very words. Absurd hypocrisy! “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Rom. 3:18) Listen, No one can be saved without the precious blood of Christ and the removal of the blood of Jesus even one time is enough to forever condemn these new versions as satanic counterfeits (see Heb. 9:22; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Col. 1:14). It would be appropriate to question the salvation of anyone who would seek to justify such or crassly overlook it.
If you are personally convicted concerning the corruption of the new versions and are brought by the Holy Spirit to a place of wanting to destroy your copies of these counterfeits of God’s true Word, please read Acts 19:19 to see how those who repented had a bonfire to burn everything associated with the evil one.
Did you realize that 64,000 words have been deleted/removed from the NIV? Who did Jesus tell us is in the business of perverting and taking away God’s words?
“Satan cometh immediately, and TAKETH AWAY the word.” Mark 4:15
SEVERE WARNING: “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 (includes the lake of fire for eternity): 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

The “Easter” Question:
“Since Tyndale invented the English word Passover from Pasach, I’m quite sure he understood it’s usage. Passover is NOT correct there because it clearly states it was the days of Unleavened Bread, which is after Passover. Despite Jewish tradition of later combining the two, they ARE separate and were at that time. Therefore, it could NOT have been Passover which is why Tyndale who invented the Word placed Easter, after Astarte, the Queen of Heaven, which is the pagan feast the Romans intended to bring him out after. Easter is NOT Christian, never has been and never will be. Tyndale and the King James translators followed his example and it is most certainly correct.” Derek Lee

***The new per-versions of the Bible use the term “self-controlled” which is misleading, contradictory, and heretical. The KJV word is “temperance” which is a fruit only produced by the divine Person of the Holy Ghost in the abiding disciple (Galatians 5:22-23). Think about “SELF control” which gives the idea that we control ourselves instead of being under the control of the LORD Himself.
***From Joseph Zanti: “The worst translation of them all in my opinion? The Message. It’s 1 man’s translation… a commentary, not a bible. A quote from the author himself: “When I’m in a congregation where somebody uses [The Message] in the Scripture reading, it makes me a little uneasy. I would never recommend it be used as saying, “Hear the Word of God from The Message.” But it surprises me how many do.” | The Message “Bible” Exposed
“I have been reading the KJV and really seem to like it better. Boy was I missing out all these years! It really seems to have the words God originally wanted!” Ivanca O.
After just a few yrs after that satanic masterpiece (the NIV) was created, it had already been changed over 4,000 times! The KJV has only been altered in the way of minor grammatical changes as the language changes, not the words. Gail Riplinger’s book titled In Awe of Thy Word is a masterpiece and so is New Age Bible Versions, another of her books. AV Publications. One will ever so deeply appreciate the AV if they read any of her books.
BEWARE of the devils who defend those satanic masterpiece new per-versions of the Bible. Note how they are grasping for every straw they can get their hands on. For example some of them refer to the merely grammatical changes that were made in the King James Bible due only to bridging the gap in languages. They vainly attempt to make that an issue to defend one of Satan’s masterpiece new version while the new versions have been taken from corrupted manuscripts to begin with, and altered in content along the way as if God changed.
The King James Bible didn’t undergo content changes which is what the new versions have done. For example, the NIV had over 4,000 changes made in it in the first few years it was out …. huge difference.
“I stopped reading the NIV about 3 years ago, I have grown so much as a believer since reading the KJV (the true word of God) but until it is shown for what it is (a counterfeit) by standing it up next to the KJV, it is hard to know a counterfeit on it’s own without comparison. The more I looked into it, the more I see the force behind the NIV….Satan. God bless you brother, the more brothers and sisters get to know the difference the better.” Tim

“Most of the “biblical scholar” liberals claim that some of the verses in the KJB were added later and weren’t in the original manuscripts. I’m curious as to how they know that, but even more curious as to why they’d want to remove the blood from the Word.” Jimmy
Reply:
Jimmy, I have heard people say that too …. man, that is as amateur as it gets in my opinion ….. can you imagine the amount of work it would take to ADD that many words (tens of thousands) to over 5,300 manuscripts? These devils don’t know what to lie about next.

Comment:
This is an encouraging testimony. We have seen (that we know of) literally hundreds of Christians who get rid of their catholic new versions and get the English Bible God ordained and intended for His body who speak English. All new versions come from catholic corrupted, catholic controlled manuscripts. Personally, I have no respect for any new version that doesn’t come from the Majority Text – the 5,364 manuscripts that agree. All new versions come from the 2 perverted manuscripts which are controlled by the center for all divination and paganism in the earth, the roman catholic church.
Question:
Were there no true disciples before the 1611 KJV?
Reply:
Hi. Well, you missed the point friend. Of course there were true disciples BEFORE the KJV. The point is, that the KJV is God’s pure Word, faithfully translated into OUR LANGUAGE from His preserved manuscripts. ALL other English versions ALL come from the 2 perverted, catholic manuscripts – vaticanus and sinaiticus. All new versions are catholic bibles. This includes the NKJV which is also a counterfeit.

***FROM Brian Daniels: Why isn’t the word “sodomite” in the NIV?
The answer is because there were homosexuals (what the Bible terms “Sodomites” after the city of Sodom which God destroyed because of it’s woeful wickedness) on the NIV translating committee. One such sodomite was Virginia Mollenkott. Another sodomite was the Chairman of the NIV Old Testament Committee! The name of the sodomite? Dr. Marten H. Woudstra (he’s dead now). The following quote was ascribed to Dr. Woudstra, Chairman of the NIV Old Testament Committee:
“There is nothing in the Old Testament that corresponds to homosexuality as we understand it today”
Is it any wonder why the word “sodomite” is not in the NIV? It doesn’t require too much thinking. Look below and see what they replaced the word “sodomite” with:
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION
Deuteronomy 23:17- There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
THE NIV
Deuteronomy 23:17- No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION
1 Kings 14:24- And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
THE NIV
1 Kings 14:24- There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION
1 Kings 15:12- And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
THE NIV
1 Kings 15:12- He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made.
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION
1 Kings 22:46- And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
THE NIV
1 Kings 22:46- He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION
2 Kings 23:7- And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
THE NIV
2 Kings 23:7- He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes, which were in the temple of the LORD and where women did weaving for Asherah.
Why is this important? A couple of reasons.
Ever heard of “Sodomy Laws”? It was illegal in the U.S. to be a sodomite (now people call ’em homosexuals); hence SODOMY laws. In a generation or two, people, including Christians who read the NIV, won’t know where the word sodomite came from.
This change from sodomite to “shrine prostitute” tells us that homosexuality isn’t bad, there are just some homosexuals doing bad things. This sentiment has been expressed by a number of pro-sodomite individuals who claim Christ. They are deceiving themselves for the scripture says the effeminate and abusers of themselves with mankind won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven.
This NIV revelation makes me want to use the word “sodomite” all the time! I plan to use it in place of the nicer sounding “homosexual”. The sodomites were criminals that were destroyed by God for their wicked practices. Men with men working that which is unseemly–receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which was meet. Read more about sodomites Mollenkott and Woudstra here.
Mmmm, interesting stuff here on the sodomites. Yet some professing Christian will write me quoting NIV scholars and complaining that the KJV is full of errors! We know what happens when the blind lead the blind–both shall fall into the ditch!” Brian Daniels

Matthew 17:21“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”(Here Jesus gives His disciples of the whole New Testament era how to cast out the enemy when they find him tormenting someone. This is a prevalent doctrine found in the NT Scriptures – Matt. 8:16; 10:1-8; Mark 16:17, etc. The word “devil” appears 57 times in the Bible which underscores that the LORD and His people have a sworn enemy. The removal of this verse was to blind God’s people from the existence and threat of the their enemy.)
Matthew 17:21
WHOLE VERSE REMOVED(Satan didn’t want the saints of Christ to know what it takes to cast him out!)
Romans 8:1“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (2 conditions given here)
Romans 8:1“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”(half of this verse was chopped. The enemy didn’t want believers to know that they must walk in the Spirit and not the sins of the flesh after they are in Christ, or they will lose out in the end)
Colossians 1:14“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”
Colossians 1:14“in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”(“through his blood” REMOVED. God’s arch enemy attacks Him here by having the very redeeming blood of Christ removed here.)
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.”(This is the clearest verse in Holy Writ of the triune nature of God)
1 John 5:7“For there are three that testify:”(This important verse is all but removed in the NIV.)
NASB EXPOSED by Original Editor
—- From the NASV to the KJV By Frank Logsdon … In the 1950s Logsdon was invited by his businessman friend Franklin Dewey Lockman to prepare a feasibility study which led to the production of the New American Standard Version (NASV). He also helped interview some of the men who served as translators for this version. He wrote the Foreword which appears in the NASV.
As we see in the following testimony, in the later years of his life Logsdon publicly renounced his association with the modern versions and stood unhesitatingly for the King James Bible. In a letter dated June 9, 1977, Logsdon wrote to Cecil Carter of Prince George, British Columbia, “When questions began to reach me [pertaining to the NASV], at first I was quite offended. However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense that something was not right about the NASV. Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explaining that I was forced to renounce all attachment to the NASV. … I can aver that the project was produced by thoroughly sincere men who had the best of intentions. The product, however, is grievous to my heart and helps to complicate matters in these already troublous times.” http://www.av1611.org/kjv/logsdon.html
Please don’t balk till you read these 3 verses. This is indefensible to the sane mind! “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13) In 2016 the Berean Study Bible (BSB) was introduced. Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from. In the BSB, typically, we find: Matthew 17:21 was removed, Romans 8:1 was chopped in […]

Spiritual Formation—A Dangerous Substitute for the Life of Christ [podcast]
Sometimes we think of spiritual formation as formation by the Holy Spirit. Once again. That’s essential. . . . But now I have to say something that may be challenging for you to think about: Spiritual formation is not all by the Holy Spirit. . . . We have to recognize that spiritual formation in us is something that is also done to us by those around us, by ourselves, and by activities which we voluntarily undertake . . .There has to be method.1—Dallas Willard
Aside from the fact that Spiritual Formation incorporates mystical practices into its infrastructure (remove the contemplative aspect and you don’t have “Spiritual Formation” anymore), Spiritual Formation is a works-based substitute for biblical Christianity. Let us explain.
When one becomes born again (“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9-10), having given his or her life and heart over to Christ as Savior, Jesus Christ says He will come in and live in that surrendered heart:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (Colossians 1:27)
If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Romans 8:11; emphasis added)
When God, through Jesus Christ, is living in us, He begins to do a transforming work in our hearts (2 Corinthians 3:18). Not only does He change us, He also communes with us. In other words, we have fellowship with Him, and He promises never to leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
This life of God in the believer’s heart is not something we need to conjure up through meditative practices. But if a person does not have this relationship with the Lord, he may seek out ways to feel close to God. This is where Spiritual Formation comes into play. Rather than a surrendered life to Christ (through repentance and faith), the seeking person begins practicing the spiritual disciplines (e.g., prayer, fasting, good works, etc.) with the promise that if he practices these disciplines, he will become more Christ-like.
But merely doing these acts fails to make one feel close to God—something is still missing. And thus, he begins practicing the discipline of silence (or solitude), and now in these altered states of silence, he finally feels connected to God. He now feels complete. What he does not understand is that he has substituted the indwelling of Christ in his heart for a works-based methodology that endangers his spiritual life. Dangerous because these mystical experiences he now engages in appear to be good because they make him feel close to God, but in reality he is being drawn into demonic realms no different than what happens to someone who is practicing transcendental meditation or eastern meditation. Even mystics themselves acknowledge that the contemplative realm is no different than the realm reached by occultists. To understand this more fully, please read Ray Yungen’s book A Time of Departing.
Bottom line, it is not possible to be truly Christ-like without having Christ inside of us because it is His righteousness that is able to change our hearts—we cannot do it without Him. It is His righteousness we need:
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. (Romans 3:22)
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Philippians 3:9)
It is interesting to note that virtually every contemplative teacher has a common theme—they feel dry and empty and want to go “deeper” with God or “become more intimate” with God. But if we have Christ living in us, how can we go any deeper than that? How can we become more intimate than that? And if going deeper and becoming intimate were so important, why is it that none of the disciples or Jesus Himself ever told us to do this? As Larry DeBruyn states:
Why are Christians seeking a divine presence that Jesus promised would abundantly flow in them? . . . Why do they need another voice, another visitation, or another vision? Why are some people unthankfully desirous of “something more” than what God has already given to us? Why is it that some Christians, in the depth of their souls, are not seemingly at rest?2
Is There a “Good” Spiritual Formation?
One of the most common arguments we hear defending Spiritual Formation is that there is a “good” Spiritual Formation done without contemplative prayer. To that we say, we have never yet seen a Spiritual Formation program in a school or a church that doesn’t in some way point people to the contemplative mystics. It might be indirectly, but in every case, if you follow the trail, it will lead you right into the arms of Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, and other contemplative teachers.
Think about this common scenario: A Christian college decides to begin a Spiritual Formation course. The instructor has heard some negative things about Richard Foster, Henri Nouwen, and Brennan Manning, and he figures he will teach the class “good Spiritual Formation” and leave those teachers completely out. But he’s going to need a textbook. He turns to a respected institution, Dallas Theological Seminary, and finds a book written by Paul Pettit, Professor in Pastoral and Education Ministries. The book is titled Foundations of Spiritual Formation. The instructor who has found this book to use in his own class may never mention Richard Foster or Dallas Willard, but the textbook he is using does. Within the pages of Pettit’s book is Richard Foster, Philip Yancey, N.T. Wright, Dallas Willard, Thomas Aquinas, Lectio Divina, Ayn Rand, Parker Palmer, Eugene Peterson, J.P. Moreland, Klaus Issler, Bruce Demarerst, Jim Burns, Kenneth Boa and Brother Lawrence’s “practicing God’s presence.” You may not have heard of all these names, but they are all associated with the mystical contemplative prayer movement and the emerging church.
Another example of this is Donald Whitney’s book Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. Whitney is former Associate Professor at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and currently at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. While his book does not promote contemplative mysticism, he says that Richard Foster has “done much good”3 in the area of Christian spirituality (which we believe is blatantly untrue).
Our point is that even if there is a sincere attempt to teach Spiritual Formation and stay away from the mystical side, we contend that it cannot be successfully accomplished because it will always lead back to the ones who have brought it to the church in the first place.
Spiritual formation is sweeping throughout Christianity today. It’s no wonder when the majority of Christian leaders have either endorsed the movement or given it a silent pass. For instance, in Chuck Swindoll’s book So You Want to Be Like Christ: 8 Essential Disciplines to Get You There, Swindoll favorably quotes Richard Foster and Dallas Willard. Swindoll calls Celebration of Discipline a “meaningful work”4 and Willard’s book The Spirit of the Disciplines “excellent work.”5 In chapter three, ”Silence and Solitude,” Swindoll talks about “digging for secrets . . . that will deepen our intimacy with God.”6 Quoting the contemplative poster-verse Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God,” Swindoll says the verse is a call to the “discipline of silence.”7 As other contemplative proponents have done, he has taken this verse very much out of context.
Roger Oakland sums it up:
The Spiritual Formation movement . . . teaches people that this is how they can become more intimate with God and truly hear His voice. Even Christian leaders with longstanding reputations of teaching God’s word seem to be succumbing. . . .
We are reconciled to God only through his “death” (the atonement for sin), and we are presented “holy and unblameable and unreproveable” when we belong to Him through rebirth. It has nothing to do with works, rituals, or mystical experiences. It is Christ’s life in the converted believer that transforms him.8
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Romans 5:10
What Christians need is not a method or program or ritual or practice that will supposedly connect them to God. What we need is to be “in Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:30) and Christ in us. And He has promised His Spirit “will guide [us] into all truth” (John 16:13).
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” 1 Corinthians 1:30
In Colossians 1:9, the apostle Paul tells the saints that he was praying for them that they “might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” He was praying that they would have discernment (“spiritual understanding”). He said that God, the Father, has made us “partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light” (vs 12) and had “delivered us from the power of darkness [i.e., power of deception]” (vs. 13). But what was the key to having this wisdom and spiritual understanding and being delivered from the power of darkness? Paul tells us in that same chapter. He calls it “the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints” (vs. 26). What is that mystery? Verse 27 says: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (emphasis added).
For those wanting to get involved with the Spiritual Formation movement (i.e., contemplative, spiritual direction), consider the “direction” you will actually be going.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel. (Colossians 1:21-23)
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. (Colossians 2: 8-10)

The Dangers of Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Disciplines
The Dangers of Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Disciplines A Critique of Dallas Willard and The Spirit of the Disciplines by Bob DeWaayPractices called “spiritual disciplines” that are deemed necessary for “spiritual formation” have entered evangelicalism. Recent encounters with this teaching narrated to me by friends caused me to investigate these practices. The first experience involved my friend and co-worker Ryan Habbena who went back to seminary to finish his masters degree. Here is his experience in his own words: I recently took a seminary course on the book of Luke. It was a summer intensive and was one of only […]
SHOCKING List of Spiritual Formation Ministries
More Catholic Witchcraft Infiltrating the Apostate Seminaries, Ministries, and Churches “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2 WHAT is spiritual formation / contemplative prayer or centering prayer? Spiritual formation/contemplative prayer/spirituality is just another self-centered, Christ-denying, self-righteous, works-based, occultic, pagan lie from hell! Seminaries teach it and now many churches today are practicing new age witchcraft called contemplative prayer, or centering Prayer which is part of spiritual formation. […]
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” Ephesians 1:4
Holiness comes by the Savior in self denial (death and burial – the cross), not by self will or effort. Surrender is the cross – “NOT my will but thine be done” (Lk. 22:42) and “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit” (Luke 23:46). We surrender to Christ by saying “Not my will but thine be done” dear Lord, by Your grace and the deliberate act of my own will I submit to the cross, the crucified life – where You alone reign supreme in this vessel (Luke 22:42; Galatians 2:20, etc.). I love You LORD Jesus! You must increase but I must decrease! (John 3:30)
Holiness, not happiness, is the divine command, the chief purpose and end of Christ’s salvation.
Of holiness, one disciple writes:
“Holiness speaks more to nature than it does conduct. Good conduct is the spontaneous byproduct of the new nature of the new creation man thru the cross and death to the old nature. We are new creatures in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17-18). To preach holiness as conduct without the new nature thru the cross understanding is legalism. Holiness is actually derived from ‘wholeness’ meaning the thorough transformation of the whole tripartite man (1 Thess 5:23). So many of these ‘holiness’ preachers are preaching nothing but conduct under law. Law arouses sinful passions and causes sin to increase and was given in order to provoke transgressions (Rom 7:5; 5:20; Gal 3:21). They are enemies of the cross!”
Holiness comes by way of the cross, not by way of the flesh. Just as sin was conquered by the cross of Christ, so sin in the life of the saint is conquered by the daily cross – the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.). It’s time to stop trying harder and to simply die deeper.
NOTICE: When a believer or group of believers backslides, they no longer separate from the transgressors who are unrepentant:
Fornication Defiles
“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have (Gr. possessed and wouldn’t repent) his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2
The Glorious Church Jesus is Returning for [video]
WHAT church/people is Jesus returning for? “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27 “a glorious church” “not having spot (no sin)“ No “wrinkle” “or any such thing” “but that it should be holy and without blemish” WHAT’s the use of talking about end times […]
Can a True Believer Overcome All Sin? [podcast]
Yes. In the church world, there’s an abundance of talk about sin and it comes with the notion, the inflection, the false assumption that somehow, born again believers are relegated to sinning, as if there’s no other choice. Is that true? Is this the biblical perspective? What I want us to do is make sure we are looking at the whole of Scripture and be blessed to gain a godly confidence that our Savior provided a perfect salvation that includes more than just the initial washing away of our sins. This “great grace” that He provided in His “so […]
The Truth about Holiness [podcast]
“Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” Exodus 15:11 As we just read, divine “holiness” is “glorious.” Holiness is not what most of us think it is. Holiness in the divine economy is something of great “beauty” and utterly refreshing (Psalms 96:9). It seems that holiness is not merely a divine attribute but rather the divine nature of the Almighty. Are we ready to allow our LORD, who alone is “Holy, holy, holy,” to define what holiness truly is and how He brings it […]
WHEN Jesus declared “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16), …. was Jesus speaking here of men who “earned” and paid big money for a degree, a piece of paper from a “higher learning” institution of mere men? No. Read John 15:1-16 and you will see that Jesus alone can choose, call, prepare, and ordain a man to be fruitful in His work. The LORD’s work is to choose, to call, prepare, ordain, purge, and to send for the divine purpose of “fruit …. more fruit… and much fruit” to be born in the lives of those men He is using.
Biblical Case against Seminary: Save Your Money and time – Go to the Savior, Not Seminary!
It should be noted that in God’s Word, where the specific qualifications for elders are given, not one of those descriptions includes having a degree from a higher learning institution. See 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
Seminaries originated with the catholic church—which is where the protestants got it. Sad but true. The curse of seminaries continues today. Beware saints. Seminaries are wolf factories. Think about it, the business model, it’s the denominations who have the seminaries. This is to train their prey to uniformly spread heresies and to build church businesses to collect money whereby those denominations are paid fees and a percentage of every dollar collected. Dallas Theological Seminaries forces enrollees from the beginning to sign a contract that avows them to not teach the biblical doctrine of enduring to the end. The eternal security heresy they peddle ensures much busine$$ success.
“Seminaries originated in the 16th century, primarily as a Roman Catholic response to the Reformation to better train priests, with the first established by St. Charles Borromeo in 1563. The term derives from the Latin seminarium (“seed plot” or “plant nursery”), symbolizing the cultivation of spiritual growth and faith.”
Any man who submits his life to a seminary has openly declared that he wants mere sinful men to train him to do God’s work instead of submitting his life to the LORD Himself—as did all the patriarchs, prophets and apostles—not one of them who was seminary trained (as we know such today). Yes the apostle Paul was formally trained BEFORE he was saved and then denounced all of it—all of his formal training after being saved and in preparation to serve the LORD. Read Philippians 3.
Let me get this straight…. You saved me LORD BUT I’m going to trust sinful men to train me at the seminary (Jeremiah 17:5).
God doesn’t send anyone to seminary. He never once sent any of the patriarchs, prophets, or apostles to seminary. “I am the LORD, I change not” (Malachi 3:6).
Many are led to believe the following lie: “I need to go to seminary if I want to be a preacher, pastor, or in the ministry.” Yes if you want to be just another false prophet, go to seminary. They are wolf factories.
The moment the LORD saves us, we are in His school of the Holy Spirit and Word.
Satan’s centralization of learning, indoctrination: when the source is poisoned, all that flows from that cursed source is poisoned—from the seminaries to the local churches.
YOU HAVE GOD’S WORD, A BIBLE, READ IT FOR YOURSELF.
The question of whether or not we should trust professional clergymen, seminarians and their supposed superior knowledge and understanding.
In Matthew 11:25 , God says that He reveals His truth, truths to even the babes in Christ.
Notice how that “from a child” Timothy knew the “holy scriptures” and the wisdom they give us. Timothy studied and knew and could understand God’s Word as a little “child.” No degreed seminarian needed.
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17
“Seminaries and Bible colleges absolutely do make men boastful and proud over a fake degree. Jesus calls His people to be servants and nothing more. I also think of Paul when he separated the true disciples from the synagogue because the Jews were in contradiction of the gospel. So he separated them and taught them in the Apostles doctrine (Acts 2:42). He trained them in the whole of the scriptures. And this resulted in the widespread dispersing of the gospel (Acts 19:9-10).” Karen Cochran
Upon saving you, Jesus put His Holy Spirit in you and inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word (Psalms 119:105). No one needs “Bible college” or “seminary” to read and obey God’s Word (King James Bible). Jesus told no man to “go to Bible college/seminary.” Seminarian and Bible college graduates pridefully boast of their degrees and positions, lording it over others….as if they are superior. Isn’t this where the clergy/laity rankings were furthered? Does this not go diametrically against the teaching of our LORD? Yes it does. See Matthew 20:24-28 and 23:8-12.
Think about it: Seminary trains men to lord it over others, while the preparation for ministry the LORD enacts teaches His elders to go forth as He did —to serve and not to be served (Matthew 20:24-28 and 23:8-12). The whole premise of seminaries is based on a lie—the lie of usurping authority that God never ordained you to have. This further underscores that the author of seminaries is Satan himself. See Isaiah 14:12-15.
“Excellent teaching. Thank you. I think of 2 Timothy 2:21 which tells us how we are made vessels fit for the Master’s use. In that passage nor any other, we don’t see the word seminary. Vessels of honor are purged in the fire of affliction. And sanctified internally by the blood of Christ to bring forth fruit for His glory. This is how we are prepared by the Spirit of God to be used by the Master! No seminary school can do that. It is entirely the work of the Spirit through our ‘obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ’ (1 Peter: 1:2).” Karen Cochran
Seminaries, seminarians are Satan’s way of controlling the people via their clergy. No group is more famous for this than the Roman religion.
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19
Of the seminarian devils who litter the landscape of the American pulpits, Karen Cochran writes:
“And these apostate churches will only hire these wolves in sheep’s clothing Jesus warned us to beware of (Matthew 7:15). Therefore they don’t get men like the Apostles who gave their whole lives to preaching, warning, and teaching Jesus Christ! See Colossians 1:28. Then they died for the sake of Christ. The seminarian wolves of our day only preach about self, the self-life! They could care less about giving all for the sake of Christ!”
Only the cross, the crucified life, can keep us from sin (Romans 6:7; 1 Corinthians 9:27; 10:12). No amount of knowledge, even the truth, can keep us from sin. The truth of the cross Jesus commanded must be applied, obeyed—or you will not walk nor be with Him (Luke 9:23-24; John 8:31-32). The crucified life is something one will rarely if ever hear in seminaries or out of the mouth of seminarians.
Saints, we must follow Jesus. That’s why we have a Bible that He provided (Luke 4:4). We must cease with our idolatrous fascination with certain schools and men who seem to have a deep understanding of things. The idolatry of mere men will not keep us from living in sin.
Are you personally crucified with Christ?
If not, you ARE living in sin.
“He that is dead(crucified with Christ)is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7
Read Romans 6 each morning and obey God. | The Cross Life
One can have the whole Bible memorized and understand it all, and still die and go to hell. You must walk with Christ—live a crucified life of prayer—or you will perish irrevocably in the flames of eternal damnation. Judas walked with Jesus, he saw the miracles and heard His teachings first hand and died and busted hell wide open. The Truth about Judas
Professionalism is poison. There were no professional pastors in the early church. The seminary system is the factory that creates such business men, frauds (2 Peter 2:1-3).
The modern church world is driven by Satan’s seminarians: WHAT has it produced?
Are you a living, breathing epistle, a disciple of Jesus, or just another modern pharisee, a seminarian-deceived fraud who hides in a building while collecting a salary and misleading people to hell?
NO such thing as an “official” seminarian credentialed pastor or preacher in the early church! Beware. Satan’s seminary system exposed.
Notice how the unchanging LORD worked in Paul after He saved him:
“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia (the desert), and returned again unto Damascus. 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.” Galatians 1:15-18
Jesus is the Savior and Sanctifier—the only One who can prepare and ordain a man to ministry (John 15:16). Only three years later did Paul consult with men—AFTER God had spoken directly to him. The apostles were saved and taught of God, not mere sinful men.
“Despite God’s word commanding men not to boast in their wisdom, and despite being told that ‘not many wise according to the flesh’ are called, today’s evangelical landscape is replete with scribes and pharisees whose default question is, ‘By what authority do you do these things?’ They put their stock in how many credit hours they have obtained at such and such a seminary. Seminary credentials never qualified a man for God’s service, nor does a lack of “formal training” nullify what God approves. Indeed, God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). When God calls anyone to a particular task, it matters not if others approve.” Servus Christi
YOU going trust a sinful seminarian or the only Savior? Hell awaits.
Many today, upon sensing a calling, go to men to be prepared, to seminary. Consequently, they are deceived and then go forth to deceive others (2 Timothy 3:7).
The early church – Acts: On fire, full of the Holy Spirit had no trained seminarians.
Today’s apostate, lukewarm church world: Run into the ground by vatican corrupted, hireling seminarians.
The fruit of the modern churches are Clear proof that Satan is at the root of the seminarians who’ve driven them into apostasy!
“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.” Jeremiah 48:10
Joel Nelson writes:
“It’s time to get rid of the corrupted clutter of the money-changing seminarian clergy wolves and get back to true, undiluted, uncorrupted, pure worship and fellowship (Acts 2:42-47). Ask yourself: WHAT has the seminary-driven church building based system ever produced to glorify Christ? Do those who attend look like the on-fire-for-Jesus, Holy Ghost filled believers you read about in the books of Acts? Hardly.”
Protestant evangelical seminarians are a fraternal order of vatican-trained soul thieves. They control what is and what is not said to the people. They purposely withhold the truth.
Most modern pastors are in darkness and that’s witnessed by the simple fact that they use and promote Satan’s false “bibles.”
Seminarian “pastors” do not follow Christ but rather they follow what men and devils taught them in seminary.
God is Calling all Seminarian and Bible College Students, Graduates to Repent
Attention seminarian or Bible College student, graduate: Not only does seminary not prepare you to be used of God, it gives you many things to unlearn and costs you much more than just a lot of wasted money. The ONE who saved you (if you are in fact saved) is the only ONE who can sanctify and prepare you to serve HIM. Seminary is at its root, apostasy, a departing from God to mere sinful men. If you claim to be born again and yet run to men to prepare you, there should be great concern (Galatians 1:16-17). PLAIN PROOF: Today’s apostate modern so-called “churches” become as they are – ichabod – by way of the jesuit-trained seminarian hirelings who drove them headlong into that apostasy. Seminiarian Apostasy Busted and Exposed!
Seminarian led churches are designed to create counterfeits. This was Satan’s objective and it’s worked! Run for your life!
Going to seminary is a deliberate work of the flesh—to trust mere sinful men instead of the One you claim saved you. Going to seminary means you are saying “LORD, you saved me but I need mere man to prepare me to serve You because LORD You are not able to do such!” Repentance needed!
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:5-10
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
“DON’T you dare share the truth about the cross! If you do, God’s people will wreak havoc on my kingdom! I’ve put my preachers in place for decades now so that this explosive message could be hidden! Now don’t you dare spoil my plan!” ~SATAN
SIMPLE QUESTION: Did Jesus ever once call anyone to a “higher learning institution”? No. So, to go the way of the flesh is to depart from God’s way and thereby give oneself over to the deception of Satan himself. Jeremiah 17:4-7 … anyone with an ounce of discernment can see that the visible modern church is apostate and it can only be due to the seminarian icebergs in those pulpits that there is lukewarmness at best in the pew. Such was never the divine intention for the truth church Jesus died to save and sanctify.
JESUS never once taught His disciples how to PREACH yet He did teach them to PRAY. Today, seminaries teach their students to PREACH but not to PRAY. Should we wonder why modern building-based churches are apostate?
Paul denounced his higher learning in order to know and serve Christ truly …. and his education makes today’s lame seminary training look like a kindergarten picnic…. Philippians 3.
“Jesus sent Paul into the seminary in the desert.” Stan Podlacha
ANY local church that requires a seminary degree to be a pastor there, is apostate. Ichabod! LOOK for yourself at the fruit of modern building-based “Christianity” commandeered by seminarians…. apostate, heretical, lukewarm, hell bound! … the fruit of seminaries! You can’t pay money to be prepared by God—you must “pay” by truly repenting, laying down your life, and following Christ in a daily cross walk! you have a Bible! Study it! Memorize Scripture! Obey God!
Genuinely born again truth-seeking disciples will repent today and denounce the sham of “higher learning”—trading it in for a real walk with Christ, full of His Word and Holy Ghost. That’s His only way of using men (John 15).
Professional clergy is a diabolical scheme. seminarians were Satan’s plan from the beginning to replace, to destroy God-ordained organic Bible study by Christians (Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:16, etc.). The LORD is calling us to repent and return to Acts 2:42 and Colossians 3:16 New Testament living!
SEMINARY is a shortcut and a time waster. Jesus sends men to the cross and to Pentecost—otherwise they are not prepared or sent by Christ, the only Ordainer (John 15:16). They are self-sent.
ANY local church assembly or organization that requires a certificate or degree is carnal, worldly minded and absolutely apostate. The Word says to “know them which labour among you” (1 Thessalonians 5:12), and when you know a man, you know if he is capable to teach God’s pure Word!
NEVER allow some corruptED seminary dupe override the WORD itself and common sense God gave you!
Satan’s Seminaries are a Sham! YOU show me a church “pastored” by one of Satan’s seminarians and I will show you a cold, dead, apostate sham!
History reveals that seminaries and seminarians are a curse. Those churches which require a seminary degree from their pastors are Ichabod, backslidden, lukewarm, and kindling for the fires of hell. Example: It is a historical fact that the methodist church, which was previously on fire via John Wesley only backslid when it began requiring a seminary degree for their pastors. The seminary agenda is not God’s. The enemy has hi-jacked those institutions long ago. Among other errant things, seminarians learn:
“Den of thieves” Marketing—making merchandise of the people (Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3)
False doctrines such as “eternal security” and Calvinism (Jude 3-4, etc.).
Traditions of mere sinful men (Matthew 7:13; Colossians 2:8)
Entertainment: How to be “relevant”—Seminarian pastors have traded in the cross to be cool and by doing so are sending themselves and those they mislead to eternal damnation.
Ecumenism which is the amalgamating of true Christians with the antichrist cult of Rome/Catholic church.
Seminaries today manufacture and train cross-less counterfeits to “make merchandise of” that which calls itself the house of God. They are taught and sent out to make their franchise churches into a a “den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:12-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3)
Your education, gifting, seminary degree, title, and church building mean nothing in Christ’s kingdom until laid down and in true repentance you admit your own utter poverty and great, desperate need for the presence mercy, grace, and anointing of God. Repent and denounce it all as Paul did. Read Philippians 3 and obey the LORD by following the apostle Paul’s example. To prepare men, the un-changing Savior sent men to the cross and to Pentecost (baptism with the Holy Spirit). To obtain a seminary degree, a man must sell Christ out for the trinkets of this fleeting world and in doing so, such a counterfeit fraud has sold his eternal soul to the devil and will be used of Satan to mislead and damn the souls of many. Men only get degrees to get a church job and make money. Authentic disciples of Christ allow the Savior who found and saved them to sanctify, teach, and equip them by His Word and Holy Spirit (Acts 4:13, etc.). There is no such thing or example in the New Testament Scriptures of a man of God going to a higher learning institution to learn to serve God. Jesus never sent anyone to a seminary – but rather to the cross and Pentecost (baptism with the Holy Ghost). Seminary is clearly seen in Jeremiah 17:5-7. Grace and Truth Bible School Online
Salvador Cruz writes: “I don’t call anyone my pastor except Jesus Christ….. He’s my one and only Pastor, humans are my brothers and sisters.”
What Salvador Cruz states is Bible: That is exactly what Jesus taught beloved!
“But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” Matthew 23:8-12
One disciples writes:
“I have found over the past number of years, as I have ‘answered a call’ from a church to be a pastor or teacher or whatever, I have mostly found that they are looking for the ‘whatever.’ Most of the churches that require a man-given degree are not looking for shepherds to feed the flock of God, but administrators to run the church after their likeness and their own carnal image. Their image by the way is usually the thing they care about most—numbers, programs, and ‘Do we look good?’ etc. No cross. Apostate. Ichabod. I have stayed at none of these churches because, other than running through the list in Timothy or Titus, most churches require no spiritual qualifications such as: Are you born again by the Spirit of God? Have you been baptized in obedience to God’s Word.? Have you made full proof of your ministry? Are you an ambassador for Christ? Do you see the need to equip the saints for ministry? If a church is not satisfied with the words of Jesus, Paul, John the Baptist, Amos, David, Isaiah and Nehemiah, they won’t want the likes of me.”
Read closely the words of Jesus recorded in John 15:16. HE ALONE can ordain you and so we do despite to the Son of God when we seek sinful man’s sham of an “ordination.”
A follower of Jesus writes:
“If God has called you to The Ministry, then God will provide the open door for that ministry. Ministry as it was first given to the Levites in the Old Testament was First a ministry UNTO THE LORD. Our modern age has forgotten that. Not all ministry toward man is pulpit in a church style. All believers have been called to ministry but most are not willing to obey that calling, instead desiring more, they seek the positional style of ministry.”
In the stated qualifications for an elder in the body of Christ, there is no mention of obtaining a degree from the world that claims to be of Christ via a “Christian” seminary (1 Timothy 3). I didn’t even hint that knowing the Word of God isn’t important YET WHO EVER SAID YOU NEED SEMINARY FOR SUCH? Only a lazy fraud feels the need to pay a seminary tens of thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated by devils. BIBLICAL CASE AGAINST SEMINARY: SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME—GO TO THE SAVIOR, NOT SEMINARY! Jesus learned the Word without the human and demonic pollution of seminary (John 7:14-16).
SO, you claim JESUS saved you but then denied the Son of God the place of sanctifying you? So, you signed up to pay big money to get mere sinful men in a seminary to teach, prepare, and equip you? Time to repent and return to Christ before it’s too late.
Seminarian sissies use sissy Bibles. The last thing they use is the real Bible —The King James Bible. Counterfeits use catholic corrupted and controlled counterfeit “bibles.”
Scott Boyd writes:
“It was the history surrounding the evil antichrist Catholic Church and how the majority of all the other churches follow many of their antichrist teachings (those of paganism and sun worship customs) instead of following what is clearly taught in the Bible, that sent me down the road of searching for truth. While doing so I completed hundreds of different Bible studies from every denomination I could find and with that said, I found that nearly all of them taught only bits and pieces of watered down Scripture and doctrine, and instead, there were many of the antichrist examples of the Catholic Church in their teachings. Very few actually taught the truth about Scripture. Unless someone does deep research, they will never know the truth because the teachers of false doctrine and deception mix the lies with truth, so it sounds pretty good at first, but they leave out the main substance of the Truth of God’s Word. I have seen this over and over through many studies. It Definitely takes a thorough study of the Bible in order to be able to detect all the false doctrine and deception that is involved in nearly all of the churches.”
Nancy Cote writes:
“Spoken like a true Shepherd being taught to love God’s Word and fear God and NOT man! God, my prayer is that you would bring TRUE repentance and salvation to these cemetery motivational speakers. God is shaking and exposing what is not of His Spirit. WOF, NAR, Seeker Sensitive/Emergent, Southern Baptist etc. I pray that we can get just one true repented heart out of each bunch to call out sin in the camp for what it is.”
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Some seminaries who indoctrinate with their presupotionalist theology are really bad, but some folks just go to learn about everything that has been taught. Education rather then indoctrination. You don’t need seminary to be anointed but if your gonna teach dogmatic about what Scripture means you should learn a bit about how to get context and such.”
REPLY:
Hi Kevin. God bless you. Inevitably there is definitely going to be indoctrination. There’s actually no reason to waste so much time and money on going to seminary when all the books (NT/OT surveys, etc) can be bought anywhere Christian books are sold. Commentaries are readily available. Simply diligently studying the King James Bible daily is all one needs along with studying with brothers and sister in small groups. This is the stated, divined-revealed design for Christ’s New Testament church and so everything else is counterfeit (Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:16).
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“It is important to have a degree in theology from a university or Bible college which is recognized that shows you are a man of study… so many fall away and don’t finish their studies including pastors and their wives… It’s the same as saying we hire apprentices only on a construction site until the building crashes.”
REPLY:
No, that is not according to the New Testament but rather mere human reasoning. Among believers we are to “know them which labour among you” (1 Thessalonians 5:12). We have no hint much less instruction to go to a higher learning institute of men. In fact God hates centralizing learning which is what we saw at the tower of Babel in Genesis, right? God scattered. Satan loves centralization because then he can control what is taught such as we see in the demonic public school system. Also, you assume a man can’t study Scripture individually and with the body of Christ in his immediate location. THAT’S exactly what New Testament believers are instructed to do and that the earliest believers did (Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:17).
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Seminaries exist because of what Jesus Christ and his disciples did! They are for the training of leadership for the church!”
RESPONSE:
Seminaries today are not teaching the original Gospel and are in fact bringing in occult teachings such as contemplative prayer which is part of spiritual formation…. which is transcendental meditation … lighthousetrailsresearch.com … We have a Bible and the Holy Ghost….. no need for the training of mere sinful men to do God’s Word.
Satanic Seminarian System What could possibly sound more innocent than a man wanting to serve God going to seminary, right? BEWARE OF THE SEMINARIANS WHO ARE THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES OF OUR DAY! Satan loves to use that which sounds noble and spiritual and yet is not biblical. There are no seminaries in the New Testament! And it’s not biblical for a good reason. God’s Divine wisdom. To protect His body. Let’s stay with the Word saints! SOME of the most pitiful deceivers I’ve ever conversed with have had a so-called “higher education.” In reality, there’s no such thing as […]
Beware of the Vatican Trained Seminarians!
Repenting of the Rebellion of Seminary! HERE’S WHY you don’t hear modern “pastors” (wolves) expose the works-based false religion of catholicism. Don’t expect that seminarian fraud to preach repentance because he’s vatican/jesuit-trained and uses a vatican “bible” that has removed tens of thousands of words from God’s Word – including the essential divine command to REPENT! RUNNNNN!!!!! Some argue that the local churches today are to be patronized and attended. Is that true? What does religious Babylon that God calls us to come out of represent? (Revelation 17-18) What many don’t understand is that Rome, the jesuits specifically, infiltrated the protestant […]
