THE WORD OF GOD AND THE
SOURCE OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE

The King James Bible and its source, the Textus Receptus. The "contemporary" translations are based upon heresy documents. They will be defended to the death by enlightened Christians because of their entrenched ignorance and pride. Faith does not come by hearing mans opinion of God's word (there is no certainty in opinions), but by hearing God's word itself. It is important you know (you are certain) that what you are hearing, reading, and studying is God's word. "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the God." Jesus quoting Deuteronomy 8:3

The Textus Receptus or the "received text" presented by Erasmus from the 'Majority text,' i.e. the Byzantine (Syrian) text, which were a large number of manuscripts originally protected by the eastern church from the western churches efforts to destroy them, and therefore not accessible to the western church until the 16th century when the Middle east was invaded from eastern forces. By Christians moving from the east into the west, these guarded manuscripts were eventually accessible to the west.

Today there is a major move to confuse and discredit the use of the Textus Receptus in the "light" of Gnostic text. The Alexandrian and Origen text are now the basis for all contemporary translations. Oregenes Adamantius 185-245 AD, was a Greek, Egyptian-born Gnostic writer, teacher, & mystic, who, with his contingent of scribes, synthesized philosophical teachings into the scriptures (which no longer made them God's word). These Gnostic texts, with their humanistic, philosophical base, have opened the churches and seminaries up to humanistic reasoning (higher criticism or vain speculations) and dialogue, with the opinions of men in control of the meaning of God and His Word. Almost all translations today carry this error (heresy). Most Christians, who have detected the error of the "Church Growth Movement," the emergent church, etc. use translations from the Textus Receptus (King James, Geneva, Tyndale, Luther, etc. bibles) They discerned the compromise, i.e. the structural change of the word of God, and the resulting humanism being practiced within the "contemporary" church. The use of contemporary translations (based upon the Alexandrian text, i.e. Origen and his distorted Gnostic writings resulting in Vaticanus B, Sinaiticus אּ, the basis for new testament Greek textual study and translations today, i.e. Nestle, Aland, Metzger), has pulled the church into apostasy.

" And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:23, 24

"Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:16, 17

This discrediting of the Textus Receptus or rejecting it in preference to heretical text is a common practice used in seminaries, in their effort to humanize the church, making it more accessible (acceptable) by the world, synthesizing it to "that which is below," i.e. the "purpose" of Gnostic writers. "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above, corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing." (The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, translated by Dennis W. Hauck.) "The Hermetic tradition was both moderate and flexible, offering a tolerant philosophical religion, a religion of the (omnipresent) mind, a purified perception of God, the cosmos, and the self, and much positive encouragement for the spiritual seeker, all of which the student could take anywhere." (Tobias Churton The Golden Builders: Alchemists, Rosicrucians, and the First Freemasons.) Humanizing the word of God, by the use of heretical text, in an effort to "keep it up with the times," makes it easier to "grow the church," keeping it in harmony with a "rapidly changing world." Those who justify and practice the compromising of God's Word are no longer men of God, although they may hold the 'title' and position, since they have turned to the praises of men and have rejected the praises of God.

Most "biblical scholars," who falsify the history of the Textus Receptus, base their information upon the errors they learned from seminaries or secular institutions which teach a liberal message (some of which may call themselves "conservative"). They produce confusion regarding the source, therefore cause doubt, and loss of faith in the word of God. The excuses are many, but the outcome is the same—the loss of love for the Word of God, replaced with the love of men's opinions. They believe in intellectual assent—"I'm educated in the Greek texts (i.e. Gnostic based Nestle, Aland, Metzger) and therefore since you use the King James or Geneva bible, you are therefore out of touch with the times, you need group therapy (human compassion, wisdom, and understanding) to help you discover what God's 'purpose' for your life is." "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." 1 Corinthians 2:13 Scholasticism goes in the direction of "man's wisdom," especially when a person is not humble before God, and does not fear him, not willing to bring "into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5. If you fear God, you gain understanding from His Word. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." Psalms 111:10 If you do not fear God, you can foolishly change His Word to make it fit with your understanding (you can get more people in a "group hug" that way). "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." 1 Corinthians 1:21 I am not "King James Only," although I have many friends who are. I am Textus Receptus only. Listen to the following audios by James Borchert for a better understanding of the difference: Part 1 and Part 2. (If you can not play them directly, save them to file and play them later.)

“The ideas of the Enlightenment taught man that he could trust his own reason as a guide to establishing valid ethical norms and that he could rely on himself, needing neither revelation nor that authority of the church in order to know good and evil.” (Stephen Eric Bronner Of Critical Theory and Its Theorists) ["Revelation" is the Word of God, and "that authority of the church," is Christ, the head of the church.]

A good starting point, to the understanding of the importance of the Textus Receptus and the battle over its use, is to read the book Which Version is the Bible? by Floyd Nolen Jones. Although this book is under intense attack by the "Enlightened Christian 'scholars' and 'ministers' and booksellers" (you will understand why they are upset, i.e. upset with the truth being known, when or if you reading his book), I highly recommend it for what information it provides regarding textual criticism (it is not hard reading and does a good job covering the core of the problem, i.e. why and how liberals took over the translating of the Bible and the tricks of their trade).

Although the "enlightened" may 'seem to rule' the day, when they stand before God, they and their opinions won't matter, i.e. they might change God's Word to please themselves and the rest of mankind here-and-now, but they won't change God's mind there-and-then, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" Romans 1:18. To humanize (contemporize) God's Word, for the approval of man, is to deceive yourself and others and bastardize yourself before God. Don't kid yourself, your intent is to make God's word (which is spiritual—eternal and therefore can not be changed), easier for man to understand (which is temporal—temporary and ever changing), so that more $$$ and respect of men can come your way. With your love of your 'wisdom,' you want more souls to come into your kingdom—temporal, masquerading yourself as sent by him for his kingdom sake—eternal. "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied." Jeremiah 23:21 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in they name have cast our devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:22, 23 To change the Word of God, so that the world can join in, is to do what a whore does, make it easy. The true bride of Christ does not prostitute herself to the world, even "in Jesus name." "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4

Those who 'push' the contemporary translations (translated from the Gnostic documents, i.e. Vaticanus B, Sinaiticus אּ, MSS, etc) have made the church "a friend of the world" and an "enemy of God." I have yet to meet, in all my travels across this land, a minister of the "contemporary" church who truly fears God and loves His Word. Since they fear the opinions of men and love their own words, i.e. their sensuous and perceptive words which "drive" (are the force behind) the "purpose" of the "church," they gain their understanding, not from God, but from their own dialectical praxis with the world. In the pride of their position and their intellect, they have cut God's head off and put man's head in its place, by consensus. "And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:5 "Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished." Proverbs 16:5
