The Big Five changes in modern Bibles
The Big Five changes in modern bibles are found in these verses: Rom. 1:18, 25; 2 Cor. 2:17; 1 Thes. 5:22; 1 Tim. 6:5. A modern Bible is easy to spot by the changes in modern bibles to these five verses which reveal the heart condition of every modern Bible publisher. These five verses are […]
What are the differences between the NIV and the KJV? Part 1
Yes! In looking briefly at the “Question of the Week Archive,” we noticed that there have been nearly twice as many questions concerning each of the topics of doctrine, heresies, curiosities and practical Christianity as there have been about Bible translations. So, we were thinking about a good question concerning Bible translations. And we decided […]
What are the differences between the NIV and the KJV? Part 2
Here are some from Eph. 4 and 5. Again, in comparing these two versions, we are not picking out every change in the text. We are concentrating on the major changes that create doctrinal problems for Christians. Keep in mind that even small changes can create big problems. But, we don’t have the space in […]
What are the differences between the NIV and the KJV? Part 3
Yes. We’ll finish up this little study on the comparisons of the major differences between the NIV and the KJV by looking at the last two chapters of Ephesians, Eph. 5 & 6. As you can see from these three studies on this one book, anyone can check out a modern Bible by simply laying […]
Why do modern Bibles replace the deity of Christ in 1 Tim 3:16 with a generic “he”?
Because they attack the deity of Christ. When we first started reading the Bible, we became very interested in studying it in great detail. Thus, we studied the words of God, listened to men’s sermons, read their commentaries and studied the marginal cross references. It became evident very early on that there were some problems […]
Is the NASV an improvement over the KJV? (Comparison)
No. We received an email from a listener who made the following comment: “I agree that some of the new texts have gotten WAY out of hand but think that some such as the NASV are very accurate translations in today’s English language. I am interested in knowing your reasons for relying only on the KJV since […]
Is Shallum’s reign a Bible Contradiction?
He reigned between Josiah and Jehoiakim. In Jer 22:10-11, we find a “problem” text or what a critic would call a “contradiction”. It says, “Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. For thus saith […]
Is the NASV an improvement over the KJV?
No. When people discuss English translations of the Bible, they will commonly cite that a particular modern version is an improvement over the KJV because it is easier to understand or easier to read. Many confess that studying several versions at the same time gives you a clearer insight into what God was saying. However, […]
Is there really a “bad” line of music in the Bible?
Yes. In the Bible, you find two different “lines” of music, throughout. One line comes from the Lord even before creation and it continues all the way out into eternity. The other line comes from the devil. The devil’s line was also here before creation. However, after his fall, his line was corrupted and has […]
What is real Biblical worship?
Well, it’s not the praise and worship you see today. Brother Jim Modlish preached this lesson in January 2004. Paul said in Phil 3:3, “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” We are, therefore, to follow what Paul said […]
