The Bible Per-Version
"Modern version users are "Part Time Believers". They believe parts of their "bibles" but all of none of them. Nobody seriously believes their ever changing NKJVs, NIVs, NASBs, ESVs, etc.(all which differ not only from each other but with themselves from one edition to the next) are really the complete and 100% true words of God. And they aren't." - Will Kinney
Bibles Compared
“Are the modern versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB, NET, Holman Standard etc. still based on the Westcott and Hort Revised Greek critical Text? The short answer is an absolute and unequivocal Yes, they are.”

No Fundamental Doctrines Are Changed
- Will Kinney
Many modern version proponents tell us “No Fundamental Doctrines Are Changed”
But this is not true at all.
In direct contrast to the King James Bible, many modern versions teach the following false doctrines -
God can be DECEIVED by men (NASB, NET, Legacy Standard Bible)
https://brandplucked.webs.com/ps7836deceivegod.htm
The Son of God had “ORIGINS from ancient times” (NIV, ESV, NET)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/micah52heb211origin.htm
Satan controls the world (NIV, NASB, ESV, Holman, LSB)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/satanorgodcontrols.htm
The KJB teaches that "Messiah (was) cut off, but NOT FOR HIMSELF”,
but versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB teach that “the anointed one shall be cut off AND SHALL HAVE NOTHING."
http://brandplucked.webs.com/dan926messiahcutoff.htm
Jesus LIED about what he was going to do. (ESV, NASB, NIV)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/john78didjesuslie.htm
There was a day when Jesus BECAME the Son of the Father (NIV, NET, Holman)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/acts1333thisdaybegotte.htm
The KJB teaches - Revelation 13:8 KJB - "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the beast) whose names are not written in the book of life of THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."
But the ESV - (LSB, NASB, NET, Holman, Catholic St. Joseph, New Jerusalem bible) teach something quite different
- "and all who dwell on the earth will worship it, everyone WHOSE NAME HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD IN THE BOOK OF LIFE of the Lamb that was slain."
http://brandplucked.webs.com/rev138lambslain.htm
Many modern versions teach that the robe of RIGHTEOUSNESS in which the bride is clothed is made up of the RIGHTEOUS ACTS of the saints.
http://brandplucked.webs.com/rev198finelinen.htm
Man can SPEED UP the coming of the day of God (NIV, ESV, LSB)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/2peter312hastingunto.htm
Pride and Boasting are Christian virtues (ESV, NASB, NIV, NKJV, LSB) http://brandplucked.webs.com/mvsprideasvirtue.htm
Ghosts do exist (NKJV, ESV, NASB, NIV)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/ghosts.htm
We should have nothing to do with a DIVISIVE person, (and Jesus himself was divisive.)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/hereticordivisive.htm
God does not take away life.(and yet he does)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/2sam1414respectpersons.htm
The KJB teaches that idol worshippers are too SUPERSTITIOUS, but many modern versions say they are VERY RELIGIOUS. (NKJV, NIV, ESV, NASB, LSB)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/acts1722superstitious.htm
There are different races of men and some races are MONGREL RACES races (NASB, NIV)
http://brandplucked.webs.com/mvsandracism.htm
To see some other examples, go to
“For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36
https://brandplucked.webs.com/fakebiblesdoctrine.htm
"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Luke 8:8
Modern version users are "Part Time Believers". They believe parts of their "bibles" but all of none of them. Nobody seriously believes their ever changing NKJVs, NIVs, NASBs, ESVs, etc.(all which differ not only from each other but with themselves from one edition to the next) are really the complete and 100% true words of God. And they aren't.

Answering a Bible Agnostic's Questions
A man named Shelby asks me -
Just a few more questions:
The KJV is in English, what do people in Spain, France, Russia, Mexico, etc use?
Which KJV version is inherent? The 1611 only or one of the other 3?
What’s your opinion of the NKJV?
Forgive me, one more question. Is it of your opinion that the theologians that Zondervan, Tyndale, Holman, Thomas Nelson, Crossway, etc hired, intentionally set out to deceive all of Christianity?
(end of questions)
My Response-
Hi Shelby. Thank you for the questions. - First, any Cambridge printing of the King James Bible you can get in any bookstore today is the complete and inerrant words of God.
Secondly, Foreign language speakers should use a version in their own language that follow the Hebrew Masoretic text as much as possible - which the fake "bible" versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB, etc. often reject and add to, and not even in the same places, and that use the Textus Receptus Greek text (Scrivener) as much as possible.
This same battle is going on in Spanish. Good bibles in Spanish are the Reina Valera Gómez Bible or the Cipriano de Valera Corregida of 1865 or 2007.
The NKJV is just another fake bible version, though not as bad as the ESV, NIV, NASB Vatican supervised text versions. It has many problems. Here are a bunch of them.
Is the NKJV the inerrant words of God? You have GOT to be kidding, right?
https://armingchampions.com/KJB/nkjvsameaskjb.htm
And as for your last question, I don't think most of these men deliberately set out to deceive, but they have rejected the true words of God as found in the KJB and God turns them over to a reprobate mind.
Just ask them the same question I keep asking you and you keep dodging.
If they tell you that only the originals are/were inspired, then they have NO inerrant Bible to believe in that they can show to anybody- just like you don't. You have never seen a single word of the originals, never read them and you sure can't show them to anybody. And they never did make up an entire Bible to begin with - not even close to it.
You have a Phantom "bible" that never did exist.
King James Version Holy Bible Believers; The Preserved KJV Scriptures!
Stay away from these 'Bible versions':
NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, JWB, LVB, ERV, ASV, RSV, NWT, GNM, GNB, TLB, NASV, AMP, NAB, CEV, NRSV, and anything from Westcott and Hort, codex Sainaticus, or codex Vaticanus, or Alexandria.
They are meant to confuse, and discredit the validity of the KJV, or previous Bibles that come from Textus Receptus from Antioch, which can be traced all the way to Christ.
The word of God has been well preserved in the KJV 1611, it is authorized which helped preserved it's veracity for over 400 plus years. From Textus Receptus from Antioch.
Westcott and Hort two Cambridge professors who didn't believe in the providential preservation of God's Word.
Most modern versions mainly are a the result of their translation work starting with the ERV of 1881.
The MSS (Manuscripts) that were used for the translation were mainly 2 Vatican Uncials the Sinaiticus and the Vaticanus.
These Uncials (large Capital Manuscripts) disagreed in over 3,000 places alone in the 4 Gospels.
Hoodwinkers who deleted many words and verses from the traditional text of the KJB.
It doesn't matter how well you know or can quote scripture or that you can look it up on Google. If you are using one of these versions corrupted by Westcott and Hort as a church leader or use one of these versions to include the Passion translation as a believer, I am seriously concerned with the reasoning behind your decision if you are truly interested in understanding our God & the deity of Jesus Christ.
