The spiritual life-blood of the human race is the word of God. It brings salvation: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the WORD of God . . ." (1 Peter 1:23). It produces faith: ". . . faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God" (Romans 10:17). It produces spiritual growth: ". . . desire the sincere milk of the WORD, that ye may grow thereby:" (1 Peter 2:2). Jesus Christ said in John 6:63, ". . . the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE."

      And the first time satan attacked the human race, it was a direct attack on the word of God! Genesis 3:1 says, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, YEA, HATH GOD SAID . . . ?" Satan planted a small seed of doubt into the mind of Eve. And as Eve questioned the truthfulness of God's Word--the fall of mankind was only a bite away. Satan's attack hasn't changed!

      In Luke 8, Jesus Christ tells the parable of the sower. Verses 11-12 read, "Now the parable is this: The SEED is the word of God . . . THEN COMETH THE DEVIL, and taketh away the WORD . . . " Satan knows -- if he can supplant even a small seed of doubt in God's word -- MANKIND WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE!

      Never in history has such doubt and confusion over the Bible existed, as is today. And nothing has flamed the fire of confusion and doubt over the Bible more than the scores of different translations flooding the scene. Time magazine (April 20, 1981 p.62) reports, ". . . there is an UNPRECEDENTED CONFUSION of choices in Bibles. Never have so many major new translations been on the market." Since 1880, over 200 different translations have appeared. Every six months a new English version appears!

      NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED! The question has to be asked -- is God the author of this flood of new versions? Is God the author of CONFUSION in His word? 1 Corinthians 14:33 clearly states, "God is NOT the author of CONFUSION." BUT SATAN IS! He knows if he can plant the smallest seed of doubt and confusion -- that individual will not take God's word serious!

      God promised in Psalms 12:7 He would preserve His word, "Thou shalt KEEP them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation FOR EVER." And God keeps His promises! I believe, without a doubt, the King James Bible is the word of God. And the new versions are satanic counterfeits to cast doubt, cause confusion and ATTACK THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! And I'm going to prove that on the remainder of this tract! If you've come this far, please keep reading -- what you're about to read may be the most important words YOU WILL EVER READ!

      Most people believe the different versions are basically the same. They believe the newer versions are just "harmless" updating of the words and made easier to understand. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

      In Philippians 2:6, the KJV again, clearly declares the deity of Jesus Christ: "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD." The new translations completely re-word the verse to deny the deity of Jesus Christ! The NIV, RSV, NASV, NRSV, NKJV (1979 ed.), and other versions read, "Who, being in very nature God, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD something to be grasped," Someone is attacking the most important doctrine in the bible -- the deity of Jesus Christ! WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?

      And something has to be done with John 3:16! So the NIV and company reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his ONE AND ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" -- removing the critical word "BEGOTTEN"! If Jesus was "one and only" then what happens to the wonderful promise to believer like 1 John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God. . ."? AN OBVIOUS CONTRADICTION APPEARS!

      Psalms 119:160 says, "Thy word is True . . . " John 17:17 says, " . . . thy word is TRUTH." Titus 1:2 clearly says, ". . . god that CANNOT LIE." How could the God of Titus 1:2 be the God of Mark 1:2,3 in these new versions? Either the translators of the NIV, NASV, RSV, NRSV "crowd" cannot read or have never read Isaiah nor Malachi (which is likely!) or somebody is deliberately tampering with God's Word to DISCREDIT IT! Who would do such a thing? I'll give you a hint -- he's called "A LIAR, and the father of it" in John 8:44!

      Oh by the way, did you think David killed Goliath? Not according to the NIV, NRSV, NASV, etc. In 2 Samuel 21:19, they erroneously read, ". . . Elhana son of Jaare-Oregim the bethlehemite killed Goliath the Getite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod."

      Many times when the new versions come to the obvious word "hell" -- they replace it with the Greek word "Hades" or Hebrew word "Sheol." (See Matt. 16:18, Luke 16:23, Acts 2:31 and many more. The NEW King James does this 23 times!) Rather than translate into the obvious word hell -- THEY REFUSE TO TRANSLATE IT! and these new versions are "easier to understand"? Who in their right mind thinks "Hades" or "Sheol" is "easier to understand" than hell? Why didn't they leave in the Greek word "Ouranos" for heaven? It's obvious! Because someone is trying to remove and cast doubt on hell!

      In Isaiah 14:15, the King James Bible condemns Lucifer to hell: "Yet thou shalt be brought sown to HELL . . . " The new versions refuse to send Lucifer to hell! Then NIV reads, "But you are brought down to the GRAVE . . . " The NASV, NRSV, NKJV, etc. places him in "Sheol"! hmmm . . . I wonder which on the Devil prefers?

      Incredibly, the NIV, NASV, NRSV, etc. take out: "WHICH ART IN HEAVEN . . . Thy will be done, AS IN HEAVEN, so in earth . . . but DELIVER US FROM EVIL." Heaven is completely removed! The "father" of the new versions is NOT IN HEAVEN and DOES NOT DELIVER FROM EVIL! I wonder who it could be? (hint: see John 8:44)

      Are you getting the picture? Do you see how subtle (see Genesis 3:1), seemingly harmless, the changes are -- AND YET HOW DEADLY THEY ARE TO THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD! Yes friend! Satan has launched an attack on your Bible! YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT!

      Did you know the King James Bible is the only English Bible in the world that has a command to "study" your Bible? That's right! 2 Timothy 2:15, "STUDY to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" -- has been changed in every English Bible on the face of this earth! BUT ONE!

      Several times the Lord warns against "adding and taking away" from His Word. Deuteronomy 4:2 reads: "YE SHALL NOT ADD unto the word . . . NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH ought from it . . . " Proverbs 20:6 reads, "ADD THOU NOT unto his words . . . " And just in case you missed it, GOD'S LAST WARNING is Revelation 22:18,19, "IF ANY MAN SHALL ADD unto these things . . . 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 despite these clear warnings, the new versions, take out and add text, over and over! One of the greatest verses in all the Bible, Matthew 18:11: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." -- THEY TAKE IT OUT! They take out: Romans 16:24, Mark 11:25, Acts 15:34, Luke 23:17, Acts 28:29, John 5:4, Mark 7:16, 9:44,46 and many more -- as your Bible is cut apart! The NIV completely removes 17 verses! The RSV -- 25! The NASV -- 17! The NRSV -- 18!

" . . . ye have perverted the words of the living God" (Jeremiah 23:36)

      Jesus says, in Luke 4:4, " . . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD OF GOD." Not according to the NIV, NASV, NRSV! In fact, they even "tear out" the last half of Luke 4:4 -- "BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD"!

      But the new versions have the deity in other places. They contain the plan of salvation in other places. There is good in them. Did you know ONE tiny, microscopic AIDS virus will "defile" a whole batch of perfectly "good" blood? It has some "good" in it -- BUT IT WOULD BE DEADLY! Would you "inject" it into your child, loved one, or congregation? And would you "inject" them with a Bible that is "defiled" because it has some "good"? It could be far more costly than their physical life -- THEIR ETERNAL SOUL! Gal. 5:9 says, "A LITTLE leaven leaveneth THE WHOLE lump."

      Your King James Bible is attacked by preachers, some intentional and some simply out of ignorance, by "correcting" it with "THE ORIGINALS." There is one itsy-bitsy problem. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "THE ORIGINALS"! We don't have the "originals" Moses or Paul or David wrote. There are no set of "ORIGINALS" on the face of this earth! the ghost of the "THE ORIGINALS" is a LIE! See John 8:44!

      Preachers, by the thousands, will stand weekly in the pulpit and "correct" your King James Bible by saying, "This is an unfortunate translation" or "a better reading would be" or "this word in the 'Greek' can also be translated . . . " Where is the Lord God? The One who "spoke" the world into existence -- can He not preserve His word as He promised in Psalms 12:7 and Matthew 24:35? Did God Almighty NOT know what He was "inspiring"? Does the Lord need these "Bible correctors" to "help" Him "straighten out" His word and keep His promise to preserve His word?
      As God promised, He has preserved His word for the English people in King James Bible. Proverbs 16:10, "A divine sentence is in the lips of the KING . . . " Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "where the word of a KING is, there is power . . . " King James. "James" is not an English word but a Hebrew word. Do you know the Hebrew word for James is Jacob! You'll never guess what Psalms 147:19 says, "He showeth His WORD unto JACOB . . . "

      2 Timothy 2:9 reads, " . . . the word of God is NOT BOUND." Anybody can freely (there's that word Eve omitted in Genesis 3:2) print, distribute, and reproduce the King James Bible, without asking anybody for permission! All other translations are "bound" by © copyright laws. Who would seriously think the word of Almighty God is "BOUND" by copyright laws?

      I must under God denounce every attachment to the New American Standard Version. I'm afraid I'm in trouble with the Lord . . . I wrote the format . . . I wrote the preface . . . I'm in trouble; . . . it's wrong, terribly wrong; its frighteningly wrong . . . there are so many . . . Are we so naive that we do not suspect SATANIC DECEPTION in all of this?
