THE KING JAMES BIBLE
By Pastor Dennis Dills
Booklet Number 2B
THE PRESERVED WORD
 |
We ask ourselves, “How has our moral principles been destroyed?” “Why is
there so much confusion in our land on what is right and what is wrong?”
“Why is there so many different bibles?” “Which one should I use and
study?” Let us try to answer these questions.
The Devil is the author of confusion. He has always been out to destroy
lives of individuals and destroy the biblical principles that govern the
survival of people and nations. His best weapon to do so is to put
question marks around the WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE. This he has
been doing since man was created in the Garden of Eden.
Look at the question mark and the change the Devil made in the Word of
God in the book of Genesis.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Do you see the question mark causing Eve to doubt the Word of God? Now
notice her answer and the changes that are made.
Genesis 3:2-4 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Now you see where Eve and the Devil have changed what God has said. The
Devil does his work by changing and altering the Word of God. His
methods have not changed today either. That is the reason for so many
different versions (or perversions) of the Bible. These are given to
confuse men and women in order to keep them from giving their lives to
the Lord.
CONFUSION
Multitudes are confused about which Bible is the correct one. Many
arguments are made in defense of certain translations. Some argue that
they study from a certain version simply because it is easier to
understand. The real question that should be asked is not “is it easier
to understand?”, but “does it come from God?”
Over the past one hundred years, the Devil has really been changing and
perverting the Bible. The sad fact is that many preachers (or
hirelings?) have jumped track and endorsed many different versions. Many
have even gone from one version to another and then to others. The Bible
has been changed and revised so many times that now people are confused
about which Bible is the one that is Divinely inspired of God.
GOD THUNDERS A WARNING
God has a warning concerning the tampering of the BIBLE………
Revelation 22:18,19: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words
of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 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 out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The Bible is the only rule book man has to live by that will hold his
morals high and bless his soul. When it becomes perverted, man becomes
perverted in his thinking. Each time the Bible is revised or rewritten,
many things are changed and often times omitted.
By now you probably are asking, “Which Bible is the correct one? The
AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE, is the correct one. As a matter of a
fact, if you don’t have an Authorized King James Bible, you need to
throw it away and get one. Most all revised versions have been rewritten
from the King James Bible.
When the Revised Version came out, many thought it was good. They began
to study from it. Preachers endorsed it and began preaching and teaching
from it. Later, it too was not sufficient, so another version came out
and then another and then another etc.
Many made such spill over the “Good News For Modern Man” book. It
carried the lime light for a while and faded away. The paraphrased
“Living Bible” made the scene with its vulgarity, and many went wild
over it. Now multitudes have jumped over the “New International Version
(NIV). It too, has changed the meanings of many verses and also omitted
several others. Books that are called Bibles are being produced every
day. This will continue until JESUS COMES.
WARNING
Woe unto the preacher or teacher who will endorse these perversions and
feed young converts these changes of the Word of God. The NIV has become
more popular than any other perversion of our day. It could very well be
the “One World Bible”.
Many will say, “But the King James bible is hard to understand”. Others
will say, “The new versions are easier to understand”. Just remember
that the Bible has come from God and not man. If we want to know more
about the Bible, we must know the author of the Bible. Nobody knows more
about the Bible than the author of the Bible. The Author of the Bible is
God. The Bible was written by over forty writers but they were led by
the same Holy Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
2 Peter 1:20,21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is
of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by
the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost.
Therefore, to know the Bible, we must know the God of the Bible. In
order to know the God of the Bible, we must have a personal relationship
with the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. To know Jesus Christ, we
must first be introduced to Him by the Holy Spirit. This is accomplished
through the preaching of the Word of God. The preaching of the Word of
God brings conviction to the sinner. The sinner then has the choice of
accepting or rejecting the plan of salvation as introduced to him
through the Bible. So you see, it is important that the Bible be not
altered to change its meaning. Look at what God says:
Isaiah 55:8,9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
Man will never be able to understand the Bible unless he obtains his
understanding from God through the teaching of the Holy Spirit. It takes
the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon our study of the Bible to teach us
the truths we need to know.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it
hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
THE BIBLE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD BY NATURAL MAN
The Bible cannot be understood by the man or woman who does not know the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. The Bible calls the lost man a
natural man.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The first thing that must be done in order to start understanding the
Bible is to make sure you have given your heart to the Lord. The next
thing you should do is not to forsake the study of it daily. As you
study, you will find many, many verses you will not understand. Don’t
fret or worry about that, just keep on studying. Remember, a new born
baby does not eat steak the day after its birth. It has to grow until it
has teeth and able to chew. You will have to do the same. Don’t let the
Devil ruin your Christian life by trying to substitute the Bible (The
King James) with another version (perversion). The Devil’s goal has
always been to destroy the Bible and then he can destroy our lives, our
homes, and our country.
To alter or change the Word of God is to change the plan of God for man.
God has chosen His Word to convict, convince, and convert man from the
penalty of sin. Man may try to change the fact of the New Birth, Heaven,
or Hell in his so-called better translations, but this will not change
the mind of God. It may soothe the minds of men but it will not change
the facts. God’s Word is forever settled.
Romans 10:13-15,17: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things! So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Why should man even try to change the old King James Bible? It has
brought more to Jesus and done more for mankind than all of the other
so-called bibles put together.
SATAN ATTACKS
If the Devil cannot make people change versions of the Bible, he will
attack them in another avenue. Usually, he tries to get people to doubt
the Inspiration of the Bible. He places clouds of doubt upon the Bible
by saying that the Bible is full of errors and contradictions. The
Authorized King James Bible is without error and contradictions.
Any so-called contradictions will be found between the ears and not
between the covers of the Bible.
Remember, the Bible is the most hated, despised, and fought against Book
that has ever been on the face of the earth. The reason the Devil hates
this book is because it exposes him for who he is, a master deceiver. He
has always fought the Word of God. The Bible is the most protected and
preserved book available to man. God promised that He would preserve the
Bible.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not
pass away.
The King James Bible is the most fought against Bible today. This alone
should cause the skeptics, the mockers, and the scoffers to stand up and
take notice. Man would have to be blind and willingly ignorant not to be
able to see this.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that
are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.
The Devil has introduced so many different bibles until there is so much
confusion in the land. Our children and grand-children are the ones who
will really suffer. This nation is in real trouble because it has
forsaken the Word of God. Who would ever have believed that it would one
day be wrong to read the Bible and pray in our public schools. But long
before prayer and Bible reading was taken out of our schools, it was
taken out of our homes. We the parents have allowed the Devil to rob us
of a real heritage from the Lord.
ATTACKS FROM WITHIN
Some publishers have been taking liberties with the text of the King
James Bible. These changes are being made to the King James Bible
without changing the name of it. Many do not even know this is being
done. This shows how deceitful and wicked the Devil really is. We will
give you the changes that are being made that we know about. Please
check your Bible to see if yours has been changed. Remember, we are
talking about Bibles that are marked King James.
They have taken the liberty to not capitalize the word “spirit”
in many places. To capitalize the “s” in “spirit” is proper when
referring to the Holy Spirit. Check the following verses in your King
James Bible to see if they have been tampered with. These should have
the word “Spirit” capitalized.
1. Genesis 1:2
2. Genesis 41:38
3. Judges 3:10
4. Judges 6:34
5. Judges 11:29
6. Judges 13:25
7. Judges 14:6
8. Judges 14:19
9. Judges 15:14
10. I Samuel 10:6
11. I Samuel 10:10
12. I Samuel 11:6
13. I Samuel 16:13
14. I Samuel 16:14
15. I Samuel 19:20
16. I Samuel 19:23
17. II Samuel 23:2
18. I Kings 2:16
19. II Chronicles 15:1
20. II Chronicles 18:23
21. II Chronicles 20:14
22. II Chronicles 24:20
23. Job 33:4
24. Isaiah 40:13
25. Isaiah 48:16
26. Isaiah 59:19
27. Isaiah 61:1
28. Isaiah 63:10
29. Isaiah 63:11
30. Isaiah 63:14
31. Ezekiel 11:5
32. Ezekiel 11:24
33. Matthew 4:1
By making these changes the Devil has set out to deny the deity of the
Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches a Trinity, One God, manifested in three
Persons. The Holy Spirit is not a force, He is a Person. He is honored
with a capital “S”.
Now, we will give you some word changes that have been made.
OLD TESTAMENT CHANGES
1. The word rereward changed to rearward in Numbers
10:25, Joshua 6:9, Joshua 6:13, I Samuel 29:2, Isaiah 52:12, and Isaiah

If your King James Bible has been tampered with, check some of your
older Bibles that you have and you will see the difference. This shows
how subtil the Devil is.
All of these changes may have not occurred in your Bible, but if any
have yours has been corrupted. Different publishers are changing
different places. Who gives them the liberty?
There should be no question about which Bible to read and study. There
is only one Bible that is Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, and Infallible,
THE KING JAMES BIBLE. God has promised us good success in life if
we will honor His Word. Don’t let the Devil steal your blessings and
blind your eyes by placing question marks in your mind concerning the
Bible.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Psalms 119:9-11: Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by
taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I
sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I
hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Let the arguments cease. Look in the front of your Bible to see if it is
a copy of the AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE. If it does not read
this, throw it away and obtain a copy. Then, read it, study it, and
meditate upon it. Direct your life with it. Guide your home with it. We
need to live by the Word of God. If we live right by the Word of God,
then we can die right by the Word of God.
By now many have probably gotten many arguments with the contents of
this booklet., but there is coming a day when the arguments will stop.
Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it
is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest
overcome when thou art judged.
Philippians 2:9-11: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and
things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Many will say that the version you carry and use is not important. This
is another tactic the Devil presents. It is time that God’s people
realized that it is important what they carry for a Bible. Many people
carry these perversions simply because they do not know any better. They
have not stopped to analyze the seriousness of the matter. But now,
YOU ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE, YOU HAVE READ THE TRUTH.
Our children are being raised and spiritually raped in a cold lax
environment concerning spiritual things. If preachers and church leaders
do not hold to something our children will fall for everything. It is
high time that we get seriously concerned about the Word of God. People
have turned a deaf ear to the truth.
Jeremiah 6:15,16: Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore
they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they
shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the
ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and
walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We
will not walk therein.
If God’s people desire to know the truth they must have an open mind. If
your mind is closed, then you will be offended at the truth. An open
mind and an open heart will bring the truth to the soul every time. We
will all stand and give an account of how we have handled God’s Word. It
is wrong to tamper with His Book.
Please earnestly pray for God to show you the truth. Don’t allow the
Devil to convince you that this issue is of little or no importance. The
only WEAPON we have against the Devil is the Word of God. When we
are confused about the Bible then we will have trouble fighting him.
Remember, the Devil hates the Bible because it is and it declares the
truth. The Devil hates the truth. He is not of the truth.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The Devil also hates the Bible because it tells him where he is going:
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
