COMMON DECEPTION/LIE:

“But I can’t understand the King James Bible. It’s too hard to understand.”

REPLY:

Not true. This is a common, debunked deception. If the Holy Ghost is our Teacher and gave us His Word – KJB for English people, He will teach all who read it and not a fake “bible” …. my son was genuinely saved at 4.5 years old and all he was given was the KJB. Take a look friend…

“For I am the LORD, I change not.” Malachi 3:6

As the creation of God, we don’t understand much of what happens when we eat physical food and yet to nourish our bodies. We don’t question it. No, we just eat food in order to satisfy our hunger and to nourish our bodies, right?

That’s how it is with God’s Word. Though our understanding is minimal, we, as Jesus’ born again saints hunger for more of Him and know we must be filled daily with His divine nutrients. So, we ingest His Word to nourish our hearts!

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” 1 Peter 2:2-3 

Some today whine about supposedly not being able to understand the King James Bible.

Understanding is not what’s most important. Understanding will come yet it’s not the highest priority. God is. Being a person of integrity toward God is priority. Think about this: It would be like alienating the affections of your heart away from your own husband to another man who is not your husband just because you don’t yet fully understand your husband. The new “bibles” are clearly an attack on our Bridegroom Jesus. Oh and understanding comes from the true Word of God and Holy Ghost, right? (See John 14:26; 16:13-14; 1 John 2:20, 27.) That’s what Jesus taught. 

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7

WHY would God have gone through the trouble of keeping His own promise to have His Word translated into our language if we weren’t going to be able to understand it in our own language? THAT is an indictment against the Almighty and some are foolishly making such an indictment.

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“The fact is I have a 7th grade education, and will not read anything but the King James Bible … It depends on how much you want to know about our Savior and how much you love Him, or not I think as to what you will read…cause all those other versions are just what they are, mere versions…. changed and rearranged!” Jeanette

REPLY:

Exactly. The only thing that needs many versions is a lie. Think about how SELF serving it is to say “Lord, I know Your enemy Satan has attacked You by changing Your words and yet, I like his books better than Yours because it’s easier for me to read.” Wow! Let’s think about that for a moment: What would you think of a family where the wife was an author and yet her husband didn’t read her books but rather read the books of other women authors. How would that wife feel as she walked around their house and passed her husband as he sat and read some other woman’s book? How would that make her feel? Can you say spiritual adultery? Adulterous heart? Yep. How does God feel as He looks down from Heaven at those who read “bibles” from mere human authors who slapped “Holy Bible” on the cover to make it look like it’s His Word? Oh, and they did so to earn royaltie$? That’s why all English versions are copyrighted except the King James Bible.

People say “I use the King James Bible but I also compare it with other Bibles.”

Comparing versions is a deception: As if God needs us to check the devil’s counterfeits to make sure HIS Word is correct OR because we don’t take Him at His Word in the KJB. Wow. Stop it now. Trash them. Picture being married to a lovely lady and yet still checking on what her enemies said about her. How would your lovely wife feel about that? How does God feel when His children read His Word KJB but then go check satan’s counterfeits of His Word to see what satan has said. SMH.

Nothing says it like the King James Bible. The language of cheap counterfeit fake “bibles” is trite. They sound like fairy tales and not the Word of the Almighty. WHO in their right mind would trade a Ferrari for a Mazda?

CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE KING JAMES BIBLE? What’s your education level? No offense but I know children who understand the KJB and yet also know full grown adults with college degrees who claim they can’t understand the King James Bible. That’s probably because they’re really not born again (1 Corinthians 2:13-14). My son was genuinely saved at 4.5 years old having received God’s Word via the KJB. If the Holy Ghost is the Teacher, explain why He is unable to teach His own people via His preserved Word? Oh, and explain why you’d rather read a corruption you claim is easier to understand and has butchered the Word of the LORD you claim to love?

UNDERSTANDING GOD’S WORD: The root of the matter is not God or His Word but rather the un-repentant hearts of sinners who have not repented and been saved and therefore live to appease and comfort the false god of self. God only gives understanding to those whom He knows as His own (Mark 4:11; 1 Corinthians 2:13-14; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16, etc.).

God used another Marine recruit, while I was in bootcamp, to speak His KJB Word to me. It put the fear of the LORD which is clean, in me (Psalms 19:9), and led me to Christ saving me from sin and into His kingdom (Colossians 1:12-14). The lame idea of using false “bibles” because people can’t understand the KJB is ridiculous at best.

The late Charles Pray writes:

It’s not so much for you to understand as it is for the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you! There are scholars who have read the Bible many times in their lifetimes but yet found new truths many years later. It’s not that those truths weren’t there before but that God finally chose to reveal them in His time. You read and the Holy Spirit will reveal when it’s time. Amen!”


Question: I know some people who basically refuse to read the KJV because they claim they don’t understand it. However, they are willing to read the NIV. I feel bad recommending the NIV to them if they aren’t willing to read the KJV because I do feel that the KJV is the word of God. But in a case like this, is it better to have them read the NIV over nothing at all?

Answer: A false Bible is not the truth. It’s that simple. I am a kind and soft-hearted person. I would love to tell people it were okay to read other Bibles and just as good for them. That’s my personality. But I cannot. I cannot compromise the truth and tell people that a Bible that is missing or adding or changing the truth is STILL the truth. False Bibles are not “The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth.”

I have to tell people the truth. I myself found it out at 17 when I started reading a King James Bible and needed to understand it. This truth is simple: It is by the Holy Ghost that we understand the King James Bible. Look at these scriptures.

Someone wrote:

“I’ve tried to read the Bible, but I can’t understand it.”

The Scriptures tell us that the ‘natural man’ cannon understand the things of the Spirit of God. Most Americans would find it difficult to understand the Chinese language. However a child who is born into a Chinese family can understand every word. That’s why you must be born again with God’s Spirit living within you (John 3:3). The moment you become part of God’s family, the Bible will begin to make sense.” unknown

Luke 24:45 — Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

1 Corinthians 2:12-16 — 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. 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. 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. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Acts 17:11 — These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

It is by God’s great grace that we can understand His words. Here is what I did. Just as the Bible says, I pray to the Father (Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 1:17) in the name of Jesus, God the Son (Matthew 18:20; John 14:13-14; 15:16), and ask that the Holy Ghost reveal the scriptures to me (John 14:26; 15:26; 1 Corinthians 2:12-16).

Since the first day I prayed that way to God, even though I was still in the occult, the Lord began to show me His truth as I read His words in the King James Bible. Two weeks later I was saved!

What’s more, I was amazed to find out two years later in Bible college that what God had shown me about the Bible was correct. What a blessing! And God is “no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34) so I believe what He did for me He will also do for you or anyone who asks Him.

If we need help with words we do not understand, we use a Bible dictionary or King James Bible Companion. But when we do not understand Bible teaching, we pray to our God, in Jesus’ name, who by the Holy Ghost richly supplies “all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3).

May God bless us all as we read and trust God to understand His preserved words in English, the King James Bible.

7 Ways to Forgive [podcast]


PRAY

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44

LOVE AND DO GOOD TO THE OFFENDER

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” Romans 12:9

REFUSE TO SPEAK EVIL OF THE OFFENDER

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” Romans 12:14

RELEASE THEM FROM YOUR PUNISHMENT

“Recompense (repay) to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19

DON’T CELEBRATE THEIR FAILURES

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Proverbs 24:17-18

TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31

STOP DWELLING ON THE PAST

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18

The blessedness of being merciful to others:

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Matthew 5:7

The only way to prevent holding a grudge, is to simply forgive them – as God freely forgave you through the infinite price Christ paid for your sins on the cross, of which you don’t deserve (Psalms 103:10).

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” James 5:7-9

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:30-32

Being kind and forgiving towards others becomes simple as we look in the mirror and declare with Paul the apostle: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.” (Romans 7:18)

“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” Psalms 103:10

Forgiveness becomes easy when we look in the mirror to see the person (us, me) who needs God’s mercy more than any other person alive on the earth! Memorize Ephesians 4:32 now. KJB

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14

Forgiveness Quotes

Forgiveness is ultra important to God. If you don’t forgive all others, you are not forgiven of your own sin and are as sure for hell as if you were already there. If you refuse to forgive you damn your own soul, non-negotiably. irrevocably.

“Forgiveness does not mean what happened is okay. It means not letting what happened take any more of your happiness.” Michelle Maros

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” Bryant McGill

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness. Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. Forgiveness is the final act of love.” Reinhold Niebuhr

“Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong; it makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak; it sets you free.” unknown

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]


“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).

If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin

Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!

Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!

Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!

Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-12
