". . . ye have PERVERTED the words of the living God. . ."
Jeremiah 23:36
|
This generation has a
hunger for perversion. What was perversion just a few years ago, is now "normal". What was
"hiding" in the closet is now "parading" in our streets. Perversion has found a welcome home - from the
living room, to the White House; from our churches - to even the word of
God! Our friend Webster, defines "pervert" as 1. to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or
true... 2. to twist the meaning or sense of:
misinterpret (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1977, p.856). A perfect definition
of The New International Version (NIV): "to cause to turn aside or
away from what is good or true" and "to twist the meaning or
sense of". If you doubt that, before you start reading this tract -
get the NIV and check it as you read this tract! The NIV perverts the deity of Jesus Christ! I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming
that Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, "And
without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN
THE FLESH. . ." The King James says, plainly, "GOD
was manifest in the flesh". The NIV reads, "HE
appeared in a body". The NIV "twists" "GOD"
to "HE". "HE appeared in a
body"? So What? Everyone has "appeared in a body"! "He"
is a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent. There is no
antecedent in the context! The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV
subtilty (see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16
into utter nonsense! PHILIPPIANS 2:6: The KJB 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 NIV reads, "Who,
being in very nature God, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD something to
be grasped,". The NIV again subtitly
perverts the deity of Jesus Christ! The NIV perverts the virgin birth! LUKE 2:33: The King James Bible reads, "And
JOSEPH and his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken of him." The NIV reads, "The CHILD'S
FATHER and mother marveled at what was said about him." The
"CHILD'S FATHER"? Was Joseph Jesus's
father? Not if you believe the virgin birth! Not if you believe John 3:16,
that Jesus Christ was the Son of God! A subtil,
"perversion" of the virgin birth. See also Luke 2:43. The NIV removes the blood of Jesus Christ! COLOSSIANS 1:14: The KJB reads, "In whom we have
redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins:" The
NIV reads, "In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of
sins." The NIV rips out the precious words "THROUGH HIS
BLOOD"! Friend, redemption is ONLY "THROUGH HIS
BLOOD". Hebrews 9:22, reads, ". . . without
shedding of BLOOD is no remission." That old song says,
"What can wash away my sins, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!"
The NIV perverts John 3:16 into a LIE! JOHN 3:16: The NIV 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" Jesus was NOT "the
one and only son" - Adam is called the "son of God"
in Luke 3:38, there are "sons of God" in Job 1:6 and
Christians are called "sons of God" in Phil 2:15, I John
3:2- but Jesus was the "ONLY BEGOTTEN SON"! By removing the
critical word "BEGOTTEN" - The NIV perverts John 3:16 into a LIE!
The NIV does the same in John 1:14, 1:18, and 3:18. The NIV perverts TRUTH into LIES! The NIV perverts Mark
1:2,3 into a LIE! The NIV reads "It
is written in Isaiah the prophet: I will send my messenger ahead of you, who
will prepare your way-a voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare the way
for the Lord, make straight paths for him." It is NOT written in
Isaiah! "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare
your way" - is found in Malachi 3:1! The King James correctly
reads: "As it is written in the PROPHETS, . .
." A better translation! Easier to read - BY A LIE!
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 the NIV!? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! For
Hebrews 6:18 clearly declares, ". . . it was IMPOSSIBLE for
God to LIE" It is impossible for the LIES in the NIV to be the words of
GOD! Whose words are they? I'll give you a hint - Jesus Christ
calls him "A LIAR, and the father of it" in John 8:44! The NIV again openly
LIES in 2 Samuel 21:19, ". . . Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite
killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a
shaft like a weaver's rod." What 8-year-old doesn't know that David
killed Goliath? Romans 1:18-32
describes the "path to perversion" and verse 25, describes
their decline, "Who changed the TRUTH of God into a LIE. .
."! Not surprisingly, The NIV perverts Romans 1:25 from "CHANGED
the truth of God INTO a lie" to "EXCHANGED the truth
of God FOR a lie"! The NIV and sexual perversion! Romans 1:26-32 also
shows the "fruits" of "sowing" ". . . the
TRUTH of God into a LIE. . ." Verses 26-27 says "FOR
THIS CAUSE (vs 25 for "changing
the TRUTH of God into a LIE") God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their women did change the natural use into
that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men
with men working that which is unseemly, . . ." The last few years
homosexuality and sexual perversion have "exploded" into the
mainstream. Legislation is now pending making same-sex marriages legal. Books
such as Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's Roommate, promoting
homosexuality, are in our schools. According to The Washington Post,
bisexuality and homosexuality, are the "in
thing" in our public schools. And even churches are now welcoming homosexuals
and are even ordaining them in the ministry! A literary critic on
the NIV translation was homosexual author Dr. Virginia Mollenkott.
In Episcopal, Witness (June 1991, pp. 20-23), she admits, "My
lesbianism has ALWAYS been a part of me. . ." To no surprise,
"sodomite" is completely removed from the NIV. (Deut. 23:17, I
Kings 14:24, 15:12, 22:46, II Kings 23:7) And of course, I Cor. 6:9,
". . . effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. . ." is
replaced with the non-offensive ". . . nor male prostitutes nor
homosexual offenders. . ." Notice the NIV in I Cor. 6:9
does NOT condemn "homosexuals" or the "act of
homosexuality" - but ONLY "homosexual OFFENDERS". The NIV & Zondervan A little known fact: In 1988 Zondervan
and the NIV was purchased by Harper & Row, Publishers (now HarperCollins
Publishers). HarperCollins publishes
"pro-homosexual" books such as Making Out, The Book of Lesbian
Sex and Sexuality described as "Beautifully illustrated with
full-color photography,. . . Making Out is the
complete illustrated guide to lesbian sexuality and relationships.
. .the intricacies of love play. . ." and many other pro-homosexual
books! HarperCollins is a subsidiary of the global media empire, The
News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdock. The News Corporation empire include Fox Broadcasting, Twentieth Century Fox,
and more than 128 newspapers. Fox Broadcasting produces some of the
most sexually lewd shows on television. Murdock also publishes the British
newspaper, the Sun, notorious for its nude pin-ups. VERY IMPORTANT! For the REAL PROOF Check out this link to
HarperCollins Now where is Don Wildmon when we really need him? Don was quick to boycott Kmart because
subsidiary, Waldenbooks sold Playboy and Penthouse. Kmart can't
"hold a candle" to the "filth" spewed by The News
Corporation. Why isn't Don boycotting Zondervan
and the NIV? Friend, every time you purchase the NIV you are giving to people
who produce pro-homosexuality, pornographic material — AND THE SATANIC
BIBLE! "Can two walk together, except they be
AGREED?" Amos 3:3 Jesus Christ plainly
said in Matthew 7:17-18: Do you really believe
God would ALLOW His HOLY word to be "owned" by that group? ". . .for
what fellowship hath RIGHTEOUSNESS with UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? and
what communion hath light with darkness?"2 Cor. 6:14 Do you actually
believe God would ALLOW His Holy Word to published
by the same ungodly people who publish the Satanic Bible? Being born again, not
of CORRUPTIBLE seed, but of INCORRUPTIBLE, by the WORD OF
GOD, which liveth and abideth
for ever. (1 Peter 1:23) Isn't it EQUALLY
amazing that the King James Bible is the ONLY Bible that is not OWNED by men? The NIV robs Jesus Christ of worship! In Matt. 8:2, 9:18,
15:25, 18:26, 20:20, Mark 5:6, 15:19 "worshipped him" is removed in
the NIV! Why doesn't the NIV want Jesus Christ to be worshipped? Hint:
see Luke 4:7, Matt. 4:9. The NIV perverts Jesus Christ into Lucifer! Isaiah 14:14 reveals
Satan's grandest desire, "I will be like the most High."
And with a little subtil perversion - the
NIV in Isaiah 14:12 grants Satan's wish! ISAIAH 14:12: The KJB reads, "How art thou fallen
from heaven, O LUCIFER, son of the morning!. . ."
The NIV PERversion reads, "How you have
fallen from heaven, O MORNING STAR, son of the dawn. . ." The
NIV change "Lucifer" to "MORNING STAR". ISAIAH 14:15: The King James Bible condemns Lucifer to
hell: "Yet thou shalt be brought down to HELL
. . ." The NIV does NOT condemn Lucifer to HELL! The NIV reads, "But
you are brought down to the GRAVE. . ." We all go to the GRAVE!
Why doesn't the NIV want Satan in hell? The NIV removes and perverts the place of hell! The word
"hell" occurs 31 times in the Old Testament in the King James
Bible. In the Old Testament of the NIV it occurs - ZERO! The word
"hell" is NOT in the Old Testament of the NIV! And what do they do
with "hell"? Take PSALM 9:17 for example: The King James
reads, "The wicked shall be turned into HELL. . ." The
NIV, reads, "The wicked return to the GRAVE. . ." We
ALL "return to the GRAVE"! By removing "hell" the
NIV perverts Psalm 9:17 into nonsense! In the New Testament
the NIV zaps out "hell" 9 times. And what "clearer" "easier
to understand" word does the NIV "update" hell with? Five
times they use - HADES! (Matt 16:18, Rev 1:18, 6:8, 20:13,14) What
"common person" understands HADES? Everybody knows what
HELL is! Do you know what HADES is? Hades is not always a place of torment
or terror. The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies
called "Happy Fields". In the satanic New Age Movement, Hades is
an intermediate state of purification! Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary defines HADES: "the underground abode of the dead in
Greek MYTHOLOGY". The NIV perverts your Bible into MYTHOLOGY!
The NIV perverts The Lord's Prayer into The Devil's Prayer! LUKE 11:2-4: The KJB reads, ". . .Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And
forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil." The
NIV removes everything that refers to a Holy God in heaven -"WHICH ART
IN HEAVEN. . . Thy will be done, AS IN HEAVEN, so
in earth. . . but DELIVER US FROM
EVIL." Everything that distinguishes God from the Devil is
REMOVED! "OUR FATHER" of the NIV is "NOT
IN HEAVEN" and "DOES NOT DELIVER FROM EVIL!" I
wonder who it could be? (hint: see John 8:44) The Bible warns against taking away and adding to the words of
God! Deuteronomy 4:2 reads:
"YE SHALL NOT ADD unto the word which I command you,
NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH ought from it . . ." Proverbs 30:6, 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. . ." The NIV completely "TAKETH AWAY" 17 verses! Wonderful and precious
verses like: The NIV PERversion completely "TAKETH AWAY"
Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36,
23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:28, Romans 16:24 and 1 John 5:7! After Mark 16:8 the
NIV says, "The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient
witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20." ZAP-There goes another 12
verses! And by the way, that is absolutely untrue! The book, The
Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel of Mark, by Dean Burgon
contains over 400 pages of documented evidence for Mark 16:9-20, that has
never been refuted, nor ever will! After John 7:52, the
NIV, reads, "The earliest and most reliable manuscripts and other
ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11" ZAP-There goes another
12 verses! Matt. 12:47, 21:44,
Luke 22:43 and 22:44 are all removed in the footnotes! That's 45 complete
verses the NIV removes from the text or in the footnotes! The NIV "TAKETH AWAY" 64,576 words! Don't look for the
"mercyseat" in the NIV - GONE! The NIV removes
wonderful Bible "terms" like remission, regeneration, impute, propitiation, new testament and many others! That equals REMOVING
the books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations,
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai,
Malachi, Colossians, I Thessalonians, II Thessalonians, I Timothy, II
Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, I Peter, II Peter, I John, II John, III
John, Jude and more - COMBINED!!! The equivalence of ripping out
OVER 30 BOOKS of the Bible! In case you think it's insignificant words like "thee" and
"thou"? The NIV removes major portions of at least 147 verses! Here's a small (very
small) sampling of words removed in the NIV! Matt. 6:13, "For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Jesus Christ says, in
Luke 4:4, ". . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by EVERY WORD of God." But not according to the
NIV! In fact, the NIV even "TAKETH AWAY" the last half of Luke
4:4 - "BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD"! And Jesus Christ was quoting
Deuteronomy 8:3 to Satan! Does the NIV PERversion
seriously think the Lord Jesus Christ does NOT know Duet.
8:3??? The LIES used to promote the NIV. . . LIE 1) The NIV "just" updates the
"archaic" words and makes it "easier to understand".
Nothing is "really changed. LIE 2) The NIV is easier to read and understand. LIE 3) Older and more reliable manuscripts have
been discovered since the King James Bible. LIE 4) The NIV is more accurate. ". . . ye have PERVERTED the words
of the living God. . ." The New International "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt
KEEP them, O LORD, thou shalt
PRESERVE them from this generation FOR EVER." |
