FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE
HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM
SHOULD
NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE!
JOHN 3:16,
KING JAMES VERSION
WHY ALL
THE FUSS ABOUT "KING JAMES ONLY"?
DON'T THE
NEW BIBLE VERSIONS HAVE A MUCH MORE MODERN, UNDERSTANDABLE TEXT, FREE OF THE 'THEE'S"
AND THE "THOU'S" THAT WE FIND SO TROUBLESOME?
IT IS TRUE THAT
THE KING JAMES VERSION IS WRITTEN IN THE FORM OF ENGLISH THAT WAS SPOKEN
DURING THE TIME OF KING JAMES, WHEN HE ORDERED THE 42
BIBLICAL AND LANGUAGE EXPERTS TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE A DEFINATIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRANSLATION
OF THE SACRED TEXT.
BUT ALL OF THOSE
TRANSLATORS HAD A REVERENCE AND RESPECT FOR THE BIBLE AS THE LIVING
WORD OF GOD.
THEY
WERE SOLEMNLY PLEDGED TO MAKE THE
ORIGINAL MEANING CLEAR IN THE
TRANSLATION-----
NOT HIDE THE MEANING, CHANGE
THE MEANING,
OR MUDDY UP THE MEANING.
THE MODERN
"TRANSLATORS" WHO HAVE WORKED ON SUCH THINGS AS THE
NIV, HAVE NOT HAD SUCH TENDER CONSCIENCES .
THE "
TRANSLATORS" OF TODAY, HAVE NOT BEEN AFRAID TO CHOP
UP THE TEXT, AND RE-ARRANGE AND EDIT IT , TO MAKE IT SAY
WHAT THEY
WANT IT TO MEAN.
TODAY WE WILL LOOK AT
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
WITH ONLY ONE VERSE.
"FOR
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD,
THAT HE
GAVE HIS
ONE AND ONLY SON,
THAT WHOSOEVER BELEIVES ON HIM, SHOULD HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE"
JOHN 3:16, NIV
JOHN WROTE BY
THE
INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
HE WROTE "
MONO GENII"
IT STAYED 'MONO GENII"
FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS.
THEN THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION
WAS MADE.
"
MONO GENII " MEANS "
ONLY BEGOTTEN"
IT IDENTIFIES THE SUPERNATURAL IDENTITY
OF JESUS CHRIST. ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER.
THE
SON OF GOD.
THE BUTCHERS WHO PUT
TOGETHER THE
NIV, ARE TRYING TO ROB JESUS OF HIS DIVINE IDENTITY BY REPLACING THE
EXACT TERM "ONLY BEGOTTEN" WITH THE WORDS "ONE AND ONLY", WHICH ARE VAGUE,
NON-DESCRIPT, AND CAN MEAN ANYTHING YOU WANT THEM TO MEAN.
IF A "VERSION"
OF
THE BIBLE DOES NOT PROPERLY IDENTIFY JESUS CHRIST FOR WHO HE REALLY IS AND WHAT HE REALLY DID, THEN IT IS A WORK OF
THE DEVIL.
THE REASON GOD
GAVE US THE BIBLE BY INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WAS
SO WE WOULD KNOW WHO HE IS.
BUT MODERN UNBELIEVERS
ARE TRYING TO TWIST AND CHANGE GOD'S WORD AROUND SO IT WILL
NOT
PROPERLY IDENTIFY GOD ANYMORE!
JESUS SAID, HEAVEN
AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT MY
WORD SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.
HIS WORD
IS STILL TRUE. SO, EVEN IF THERE ARE A FEW OLD FASHIONED WORDS
IN IT, READ THE VERSION THAT IS TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL WORDS
THE LORD HIMSELF INSPIRED THE PROPHETS TO PUT ON THE PAPER.
THOU
SHALT NOT FIND IT AS DIFFICULT AS THOU
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
