All right, I still see a pile of people back there cramming donuts in their mouths and their pockets and everything else. So as soon as they're finished at the trough, I better not say that. I don't know who's back there. As soon as those wonderful brethren are finished, I'm sure they'll be moseying in. We're glad you're here this morning and welcome you. I hope you brought your pencils and paper and notebook and all that kind of stuff and your listening abilities. We've got some good speakers and things on. If you haven't been here all through the week, I encourage you to get the, I don't know what they are, DVDs, CDs. What's the anacronym? DVD. Okay. Do we do CDs anymore? I'm still 8 tracks. I just remember when you used to take it out and bang it so it wouldn't skip. Anyway, pick those up. They'll be a benefit to you. Doug Stauffer is going to begin us this morning. He's studying the attacks and I guess in particular looking at the new. The new new or the new? The new. The blue sparkles one. Okay. Everything that happens in this process, if you've been in the ministry long enough, you'll realize that the devil doesn't work with explosives. He works with erosion. And he just slowly but surely takes a little and a little and a little and a little and then it's gone. And this is another example of the new, the next round of erosion. I just counted out five guys. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I'm gonna need 20. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, going back one more, 17, 18, 19, and one more is 20. Raise your hand if you're in the 20. You guys are chosen. Oh, put your hand down. I didn't get all your people back there. 20. Just the 20 I counted. OK, look, if there's 21, just stand up here without a Bible. Go ahead and bring those up. This is going to be at the end of the service. Oh, no, no, no. Everybody else sit down. These two guys bringing these up. I got everybody confused. When I tell you I need the 20 to come up, it'll be during point number 12. Oh, don't worry. It's teaching. It will be fast. Where was this? Right here? I just said I'm there facing that way. I'm going to have I'm going to read one verse from 20 different versions and we're going to do it in unison. We do two stacks just in case. Well, that's good. It'll work if they drop. It's not the Bible. Let's just put this out here so you can actually. They're all labeled and everything. But when you come up, the 20 guys, you'll take one of these each. You'll stand right along here. And then I'll continue to talk and continue the message. And then what I'll do is I'll say, all right, in unison, we're going to read. We're also going to read as a congregation before that. And we'll read the verse. So you will not be confused. Everything's marked. Let me go ahead and explain that. On here, there's a tab. It's a white tab. The only white tab in it. You'll open it. If it says over, that means you turn the page over. Because it's really here. It's highlighted with an orange mark next to it. It's 1 Thessalonians 4.16. 4.22. That'll be good. 1 Thessalonians 4.22. Abstain from even the appearance of evil. That's not what you're going to be reading because you're going to be reading a modern perversion, but that's what you're supposed to be reading. You will read that in unison when I tell you to read it, all 20 people. That's not confusing, right? It will be confusing when you read it because there's going to be 20 different versions. We read it as a congregation, you're going to see the contrast. Alright, so now having done that and totally confused my 20 men, raise your hand if you're in the 20. 1, 2, I don't know what you just said, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. You guys were in there. You're out, brother. I'm preaching for you Sunday, Brother Nagowski. Sorry. I don't know what's going on back there, but Grady's starting a fight already. Am I not on? Mic up. Man, I like you guys here. You guys are like, sign motions, stop or shut up. You're off, get out. Right here is a new pin. I put it up here first because I wanted you to see it. How come this is not in presentation mode? Man, I was going to, I've got to do this. Sorry, guys. Where is it, review? What? Home? What? I've got to have presentation. Somebody help me. Somebody that knows this stuff. F5? No kidding. What's F5? No, no, no. I want to see presentation mode. I want to see the timer in the next slide. No, you told me the other night. Just hold on, guys. I promise you I am organized. Use presentation view. I did. No, I did. I already know all that. It doesn't even do it. I cannot believe it. I did it. I did it at home. All right. I am going to time it then and I'm not going to be late. What? I know that. What I'm saying is there's a way you can have a timer on here and I won't go late. I'm going to go 50 minutes on the dot, but now I have to look at my watch and actually compute. It would tell me what slide I'm on, how many are left. I mean, it's just a tremendous thing. Are you coming up to help me? No, you're not. You were the one that said reformat. You go back there in the back. Oh my goodness, I'll tell you what, you know, hey, can Christians have fun? I mean, I may be the only one looking like a fool in this building, but hey, we can have fun, right? Yeah. Hey, everything I ever learned about Islam was learned on 9-11. Yep. Yep. And, oh, there he, hey, oh, you just, you just hit a button. Yeah, you did. He is going to time it. All right. Here, you know, you've seen this coexist. Islam, Buddhism, science, Judaism, paganism, Wiccan, Christian. Thank you. Oh, it's a time down. Wow, it's timing it down. You know, you've seen Bono, you know, he's got this on his little headband. I mean, this is the biggest thing. Well, I have, I bought the website. Islamophobia.com. And I've got different spellings and stuff. I haven't done anything with it. But this is going to... I've got a new banner across. It's not this one. This will be on it. But this is mine. Hey, is that cool or what? Hey, coexist, right? Yeah, you want to coexist with the Muslims? Are you kidding me? They're the guys with their thumb with all the bombs. I hope you guys aren't videoing this. Don't send this out. Cut this part. I'm kidding. Oh, this is Alabama. I've been down in Alabama 27 years. We call this, you know what we call this? It's a handgun. But yeah, I lost a lot of weight. My hair's gone now, but I like that gun. Oh, here you go. This is the new 2012 model. Your fuel gauge. Your fuel gauge. Some of you, if you just... I'm not even preaching yet, brother. Okay, I'm having a good time. All right. Hey, this is the new fuel gauge 2012 models. Now look, all you've got to do is slow down. I know because I was driving along and I had my dog in the back seat. I had three dogs. I only had one in the back seat. And I turned around and this is what I saw. I mean, I was flying. It was great. It was great. Now we're to the serious part. This is the serious part, because I want to go ahead and get started. It's the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. I'm going to deal with the new King James perversion. And first I want to look, and that's why I need that thing that says the slides are, this is all new in this presentation, that says the slides are coming up, because I already forgot that I put Richard Dawkins in here. How many know who Richard Dawkins is? Yes, he's an atheist. Now I'm not going to What happens when the screen goes blank, brother? You know, it times out. Helpless. Helpless. Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist. He's the original signer of the Humanist Manifesto 3. And he admitted he was disappointed he didn't top the bidding on that Albert Einstein letter that sold for $400,000. He didn't say what he bid on it, but he didn't bid $400,000. He said this, though. He said, in a way, I'm delighted that such a thing should be so highly valued to prove that Einstein was an atheist and did not believe in the Bible, did not believe in God. If you were here Monday morning, that was in my presentation. Dawkins is a very smart guy, and this is what I want you to understand. Listen, he's a smart guy. He's lost. Going to hell, he's an atheist. Einstein, the man of the century, he was smart. He died and went to hell according to his testimony in the letter. And in this King James issue debate, there are smart guys on the other side. I just don't want us to think, well, you know, just a bunch of stupid people. No, they're not. There are stupid people on our side, too. But there are smart guys on both sides. That's my point on part of this. But he's also going to talk about the King James Bible. Dawkins himself says, we live in a universe which has no design, no purpose, no evil and no good. That's dumb. Nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. Wow. There's your hope. Your hope is in evolution. Your hope is in no God because that's where it leads you. He goes on to say that Darwin made it possible to be intellectually fulfilled atheists. Yeah, Darwin backed down on his things, too. He wrote that in The Blind Watchmaker in 1986, page 6. In his book, United Lecture, Edinburgh Science Festival, 1992, he said, faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Yeah, OK. By faith, I believe that there's a God. I've never seen him. I've seen his creation. It's pretty magnificent. But I've never seen God. By faith, I believe that. I don't need evidence. You don't need to show me the footprint of God, even if I have the fingerprint of God right here. OK, you don't have to show me that. But he goes on in The Humanist, Volume 50. That's him with a Christmas tree. I don't understand that. Christmas Christ. And I know, for those of you that are really technical people, I know Jesus was not born on December 25th. You've got to say that amongst Bible believers sometimes. I mean, oh, you've got a Christmas tree? Don't you know it's the bale pole? Yeah, I understand about the Christmas tree and all that, but even an atheist can have one. Why can't we? Just enjoy yourself. Sit back. Hit the recliner. You know, get away from the remote. Let's just put it in overdrive. Like my dog in the back seat. By the way, that was not my dog. I have a black one, a white one, and a brown one that change colors of every suit I've ever worn. Literally, I have a white boxer, black dog, and a brown dog, and they're not my dogs. I got out of the dog business because I was on the road, and my one came by the house. My daughter wanted him. She must have fed him something because he never left the porch again. Then she had puppies. I have two then, because they all die but one, and the one's this big. My wife gets up in the middle of the night like a baby, feeds it back to life. And I have two dogs. My daughter wants to buy a white boxer. Okay, you're going to move out soon. I have three dogs. And I love all of them. I'm a dog lover, but not one of those kind. You know, they're so nuts on the thing. Richard Dawkins, in the Lanny Swerdlow show, my short interview with Richard Dawkins, he said, you cannot be both sane and well-educated and disbelieve in evolution. I am both sane, and for some, they would classify me as well-educated. And I do not believe in evolution. So that's not true. Just because you're educated doesn't mean you have to believe in evolution. And I think we've allowed them to control the debate in those areas. The evidence is so strong that any saying that's not what I'm reading. Wow, it's fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, mad cow disease, and many others. But I think a case can be made that faith is one of the world's greatest evils, comparable to the smallpox virus, but harder to eradicate. He is not opinionated at all. He goes on and he says, you cannot be both sane and well-educated and disbelieve in evolution. The evidence is so strong that any sane, educated person has got to believe in evolution. I do not agree with that. Here's an article that just came out. Atheist Christopher Hitchens admits admiration for the timeless King James Bible. He said, though I am sometimes reluctant to admit it, there really is something timeless in the Tyndale-King James synthesis, said Hitchens in his commentary featured Vanity Fair. For generations, it provided a common stock of references and allusions rivaled only by Shakespeare in this respect. He's got more respect for the King James than the modern version proponents. That's a shame. And listen, if that's you, you ought to be ashamed that an atheist has better things to say about God's Word than you do. So he goes on, and this is all from the article, it's repeatedly stated that he would not convert even on his deathbed. Hitchens is currently battling stage 4 esophageal cancer. You know what we need to do? And we're going to do it right now. We're going to pray for him. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you and we thank you for salvation. We thank you for the creation of everything that we see. We thank you for sending your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, to come to this earth, to take on the form of human flesh, Lord. to become a man in human form. And Lord, we just pray for Mr. Hitchings, Lord Dr. Hitchings. Lord, we just pray for this man. He's confused, he's educated, and he's deluded. Lord, we just pray you'd open up his heart, open up his life, help him to get saved. Lord, not so he could be a trophy for us, but a trophy for you. In Jesus' name, amen. And listen, that's the way. We don't need to be totally disrespectful to these guys. I tell it like it is sometimes. Still, he relented when it came to honoring the King James Bible, which was first published in 1611. He goes on, but the best-selling author went further to criticize other translations of the Bible and ongoing attempts to update it. Can you imagine? He's done more, you know, for our cause. And they go, well, you're keyed up with the atheists. And now we're with the Mormons, too. You know, they use the King James sometimes. You know, come on. Guilt by association. Anybody ever experience any of that? I'll bet. Offering one comparison, Hitchens cited a passage in the New Testament, Book of Philippians, which he read at his father's funeral. It says this in the King James. This is what he read. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report. If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. And that's what he read at his father's funeral. So there's hope that the Word of God would spark something in him. Here's what he criticized. He goes on to criticize the English, contemporary English version, ESV. And he says this, finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. I couldn't preach that. I couldn't preach that. Whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, there be any virtue, there be any praise, think on these things. You can preach that. But you can't preach true, pure, right, holy, friendly and proper. Think on these things. I'd have to do one of yours. Think on these things. You wonder who I was looking at. Don't worry about it. It's a joke. Hitchens called the contemporary version pancake flat. More suited for a basement meeting of AA. Not that we need to make fun of the basement AA meetings. But that's what he said, and I agree with him. He also rejected the gender neutral language of substituting brethren with my friends calling it slightly ingratiating obeisance. He's smarter than I am. To suggest that St. Paul of all people was gender neutral is to rewrite the history as well as to rinse out the prose, Hitchens noted. Wow, that's strong. Gender unspecific singulars and plurals such as that person and they in place of masculine singulars like he or him or he. That's what he's talking about there. A culture that does not possess this common store of image and allegory will be a perilously thin one. To seek restlessly to update it or make it relevant is to miss the point like yearning for a hip-hop Shakespeare," he wrote. Man is born in trouble as the sparks fly upward, says the book of Job. Want to try to improve that for Twitter? This is him. The atheist who doesn't believe in God believes more in the Bible than some of these yahoos that we've been talking about. Like, you know, James White and them. I don't mean to pick on James White, but he's an easy target. The King James only controversy. You know, this book is not against the King James Bible. What I'm reading. In the end, Hitchin's note of praise for the King James Bible's grief ended with his unwavering belief that religion, and I even agree with this, religion is man-made with inky human fingerprints all over it. And then, you've got to watch this, supposedly inspired and unalterable text. You know why he's an atheist? It's because they've altered the text and he has no trust in a Bible that is not altered. They are doing such damage. It is inestimable the damage that they are doing. I'm trying to talk like Hitchings, so I sound as educated as our doctor there. And I was going to go into the atom and all that, but let me just give you one thing on the atom, the electron-proton. You know, the whole thing ought to blow apart. Brother Gip mentioned that. And I won't go into explaining it. Hopefully you understand how it all works. But they didn't understand. They thought the atom was supposed to be the smallest part. And again, I'm getting into more of what I want to get into. Let me do this. Let me just tell you what. They call the force that holds together the protons, because two positive forces ought to repel, but the protons are held together. You know what they call that? They call it the strong force. We know that all things are held together by Jesus Christ. And by Him all things consist. That's the verse that you quoted, and that's correct. By Him all things consist. And now I have got to fly. Alright, here we're going to look at the New King James Version. We're going to look at just these five. First, New World Translation 1970, NIV 73, New King James 79, New Century Version 87, Contemporary English Version 95. I'm going to look at 13 points. Number one, too superstitious or very religious? And I'm going to have to fly us to put your sneakers on. Not that that will help you fly, but it helps you go faster. Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars Hill and said, you men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. That's the King James Bible. What does the NIV say? Very religious. The very thing that turned off hitchings about religion, which is man-made, is what they're telling you that was in the Bible. No, they were too superstitious. You can be very religious about something and it's okay. I'm very religious about attending church. I'm very religious at times in my life about witnessing. In other words, I just, I try to do it, you know, but too superstitious is what he was rebuking. New King James, peas in a pod, just like the NIV, very religious. Why? When the New King James differs from the King James, going away from the Textus Receptus and the Masoretic Text, it goes over into the modern version text, the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, the Westcott and Hort text. That's what it goes to when it differs from the King James. That's why it'll match these modern versions. When you look at it, the New Century version, very religious. Why do they all say the same thing? Because they all come from the same source. I'm not talking about Satan, I'm talking about the modern version Bibles are coming from the same Greek and Hebrew text sources. Contemporary English version, very religious. Number two, Christ will sit on David's throne, or will he? Acts 2, verse 30, Therefore, being a prophet, knowing that God has sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins According to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. Raise up Christ. What is that? That's the kingdom. That's Christ sitting on the throne of David in the millennium yet to come. Praise God, it's going to happen soon. Amen. Here's what it says in the New World Translation, and I wish I had it with me so I could throw it to you and you can look at it yourself. Therefore, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would seat one from the fruitage of his loins upon his throne. You know why they're a captive audience? Captive by Him at His will, the devil does. You know why they're a captive audience? Because that's what their truth resides in. That's what they're trusting in right there. You look at the NIV. The NIV says one of His descendants will sit on His throne. One of His descendants. Well, duh. Solomon? Wasn't he one of His descendants? No, it is a prophetic announcement of Jesus Christ. That's what Acts 2.30 is talking about. He'll raise up Christ from the dead to sit on the throne of David. That's what the prophecy was about. What do they got? The seed from the fruitage of his loins, one of his descendants. Yeah, one of his descendants, but it's Christ. And then the new King James just changed it, raised up the Christ. You got the new century version. A person from David's family. No wonder Hitchens stays an atheist. Contemporary English version, someone from his family. Is that the same thing? They're just updating the language, understand. This is in this is all in my one book stands alone, by the way. They're just updating the language. No, they're not. No, they're not. No, they're not. They're changing the word of God. And that's why you've got people like Hitchens that stay lost. Number three, hell, Hades, or simply the grave. Now this one is going to get very interesting in the NIV. And I know that because I remember, I've changed it. And I should be able to see it across the bottom of the screen, but I can't. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, Acts 227, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to seek corruption. Jesus, here it is, Jesus, when he died on the cross, he went to hell. His soul was not left in hell because on that same day, and I don't think it took very long at all, he went to hell, and on that same day he went across that great gulf that he told the rich man about, Abraham did. went across that great gulf into paradise that was in the heart of the earth at the time. Nobody went to heaven apart from Jesus Christ. That's why everybody had to go into paradise in the heart of the earth until Christ died. Quote me on this. Nobody went to heaven apart from the blood of Jesus Christ. They went to paradise first. Jesus said, this day, to the thief on the cross, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. He spent three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Where did he go? He went over into paradise and then he resurrected. That's what the resurrection, he will raise up Christ and put him on the throne of David. That's what that's talking about. This is talking about my soul was not left in hell. It didn't stay in hell. He didn't see any corruption. Here's what the New World Translation says. Because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your loyal one to see corruption. Hades. Hades. Now, is Hades hell or is it the grave? Watch. NIV. Because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your holy one see decay. You see what they've done there? They changed hell to the grave. You talk about confusion, because later on they're going to change it to something else, and we'll see. Oh, here it is. I can't remember exactly how I did this. Look at this. Here is the 2011 version in red. Because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy ones see decay. See, they came out in 1984 in the revision. From 1984 to today, they changed hell to the grave. You talk about confusion? Oh, and before that, 1973, they changed hell to the grave. So from 1973 in the NIV until 2011, I don't know, 24 years? I'm afraid to do that, but let's just say it's almost 25. 24 years, they changed hell to the grave. And now they realize, well, it's really the realm of the dead. Now they have changed hell to down there. But they told him for all these years it was the grave. How confusing. New King James. For you will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. My soul in Hades. And see, he's talking about his soul, so it couldn't have been the grave. New century version, because you will not leave me in the grave. See, that's all just a confusing mess. And this is terrible. You will not let your Holy One rot. They have to make enough changes to qualify for a copyright. They can't just keep putting in their corruption. They have to change it. Terrible. It's not even a Bible. Contemporary English version ends up here. The Lord won't leave me in the grave. Again, the grave. Now you've got hell, grave, Place of the dead, where is it? The Lord won't leave me in the grave. I am his holy one and he won't let my body decay. I have to keep changing the words. Acts 2.31, he's seen this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. So his soul was not left in hell. We're talking about hell again. New World Translation, he saw beforehand, spoke concerning the resurrection of the dead, that neither was he forsaken in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Now Hades is again replacing hell. NIV, seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. Now what they've done is they've changed hell to the grave and they left it there, even though they changed the other one in the NIV 2011. They changed this one too. I meant to make that point that way. Not really. Seeing what was to come, so it isn't a head anymore, they had to change it to qualify for a new copyright. He spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. For all those years they changed hell to the grave and left his soul in the grave. And now they put him in the realm of the dead. New King James, he's still in Hades. New century version, he's in the grave. Contemporary English version, he's in the grave. Terrible confusion. No wonder the world stays lost. King James Bible, Luke 16, 23, this is the third, still the third point. In hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, seeth Abraham afar off. So he's in torment, New World Translation. And in Hades, he lifted up his eyes, he existing in torment, and he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in the bosom positioned with him. That's exactly what it says. New King James, being in torment in Hades. New Century Version, now it's the place of the dead. Place of the dead, he was in much pain. That's probably going to convict you if you want to go tell somebody about the torment that's going to come upon them in hell. The place of pain, or much pain. Acts 16, 28, cry five brethren, may it testify in them, lest they also come to this place of torment, is a place of torment. New century version, it's a place of pain. Huge difference. Torment is imposed by an outside source. Contemporary English version, let him warn my five brothers so they won't come to this horrible place. That's terrible. That's hell he's talking about there, that ought to be hell instead of just a horrible place or a place of pain. 1 Corinthians 15, 55, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? So now the King James talking about the grave and not hell. New King James, O death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? So see now, the new King James has changed hell to Hades and also changed the grave to Hades. So the new King James, okay, just updating into the modern language. Oh, you want to leave people, when they die, they're going to Hades. Well, where's Hades? Well, it's the grave. Oh, that's 1 Corinthians 15, 55. Well, it's hell. You know, Hades is hell. You know, I can show you in Luke 16. No, you can't have it both ways. They have it for both of them, and it's total confusion. Here's the fourth point. Jesus accepts worship. Matthew 20, 20. Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him. Nothing wrong with worshipping Jesus. Desiring a certain thing of him. New World Translation. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached him with her sons, doing obeisance and asking for something. Doing obeisance instead of worship. I like worship. Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of Him." Kneeling down, no longer worship. Just like we saw on Monday, they stole the worship of Jesus Christ. That's the whole point. You don't worship somebody that's not God. They didn't believe He was God. In page 114, John 9, 38 footnote in the revised version of 1901, American Standard Version, they didn't believe that He was that. So that's why you've got to feel the worship in the most modern versions. New King James, then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons kneeling down. You can kneel down and not worship, but you can't worship without worshipping. He got worshipped. New Century version. They bowed before him. It just has to change all these things. Contemporary English version. She knelt down and started begging him to do something for her. Begging him. Not not worshiping. God laid down his life, 1 John 3, 16, hereby proceed, we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. God has he as a pronoun he the antecedent is what it's God. When you have a pronoun, you have an antecedent. The first antecedent back is God. So who laid down their life? It was God Almighty. We know it was Jesus Christ, but that's a proof text for the deity of Jesus Christ. We look at the New World Translation, but this we have come to know, love, because that one surrendered his soul for us. That one surrendered his soul. Not God. They don't believe that he's deity. They don't believe He's deity either. This is how we know what love is. Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Was it Jesus Christ? Sure it was. But when you see God and He, it shows that God was manifest in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3.16. Unless, of course, you have a modern version. He was manifest in the flesh. New King James. By this we know love because He laid down His life for us. He. You start adding it all together, it is a destruction of truth. New century version, this is how we know what real love is. Jesus gave His life for us. Contemporary English version, we know what love is because Jesus gave His life for us. No longer is it God. When God's wrath is revealed, Romans 1.18, this is number 6. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth and unrighteousness. I hold the truth in my hands. And listen, this is a scary point here. I've got to get this out and not drop it. I can drop all those. I hold the truth. If you hold this truth in unrighteousness, the wrath of God will be revealed against you. Some of you wonder why you go through some things. Yes, suffering for the glory of God, suffering for being a Christian, that is all fine and great. I've suffered. I hope I've suffered for doing right, which is far better. But you know what? I can also suffer for holding the truth in unrighteousness. Look at what the modern version says. New World Translation. For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteous men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way. Opposed to those that are suppressing the truth in a righteous way. Isn't that what it says? It makes that distinction. There is no such thing as suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way. That's all there is. It's redundant. NIV, the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. New King James, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness. Just like the NIV, they come from the same source. In these verses, again, they say they use the Textus Receptus, fine and dandy they did, but they also moved away from it. New Century Version, God's anger is shown from heaven against all the evil and wrong things people do. You see, this is the most modern version. Is that true? God's anger is shown from heaven against all the evil and wrong things people do. There is no grace. There is no mercy. There is no long-suffering anymore in that verse in the New Century version. Do you know why you're still alive? God's mercy is grace is long-suffering. Do you know why anybody gets saved? God's mercy, God's grace, God's long-suffering. There's none of that. None of that in the modern version. Contemporary English version. From heaven God shows how angry He is with all the wicked and evil things that sinful people do to crush the truth. I feel like, you know, it's so effeminate. Can you imagine preaching that junk? They don't preach. Can you imagine giving a message from that junk? Number seven, change the truth of God into a lie. Romans 1.25, who changed the truth of God into a lie. And again, I don't do the context. I don't have time. And worship and serve the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. Who changed the truth of God into a lie. Here I have the truth. And the judgment is against those that lose their voice, Brother Gip, who change the truth into a lie. That's who God judges. Not some guy that goes to a bookstore and he's duped into buying one of the modern versions and he says, well, my mama raised me on a King James Bible. That's what I want. And they give him a new King James and he goes home. Hey, I used to be president of a mission. And we had, you know, we had guys getting saved, we'd send them into a bookstore, you know, we'd say, well, get a Bible, you know, and they, well, I want to get a good Bible, get a King James Bible. They go into the bookstore, get a King, get a Bible, they ask for a King James, they give them a new King James or a new Schofield that changed the words. And they come in, I go, oh, man, yeah, but they changed the words there. I watched the guy rip it up in front of me. And he was just fortunate that guy wasn't still in the bookstore. I don't know why, he got his money back. He ripped that Bible out and got his money back. He just got saved. He didn't get straightened up. Hey, I'm telling you, those guys, you know, I don't know. Hey man, you got a new man? Yeah, but that old man just came out. New World Translation, even those who, look at that. Exchange the truth. The judgment of God is against those who exchanged the truth, not the not the home perverts, no perversions, what they're doing, not the producers. Not the producers that are producing who are the ones that are changing it, they're getting on the ones that are exchanging it. What's the NIV do? They exchange the truth judgments against those that exchanged it. What's the new King James who exchange? New Century. They traded. Not the ones that produced, the ones that traded. Contemporary English version, they gave up the truth. So what is it? You see the one book, the name of my book, just to punch it in hard, One Book Stands Alone. It's King James Bible. Not my book. Over in the Philippines, my books, we print them over there and we give them out and I travel over there. I have one book rightly divided. The key to understanding the Bible, One Book Stands Alone, the key to believing the Bible. Man, over there, sometimes they split a little hair. The brother over there in America thinks this book, this book right here is the key to believing the Bible and the key to understanding the Bible. It says, I said, no, no, no. One book, rightly divided. The title means it's King James Bible, studied right, is the key to believing the Bible. Not my books! I had to go over there and I had to get on tape, and they put it out, and I said, look, I'm going to go ahead and try to fix this, because these guys are under real problems. Robert Stauffer thinks it's his books. What you go through, all for the glory of God. Look at this. One book stands alone, it's the King James Bible. Look at it. Exchanged, exchanged, traded, gave up. And we could read all these 20 versions that I've got right here, which we will read in a minute. Number eight, the preaching of the cross. I've covered the clock. For the preaching of the cross to them that perish foolishness, but on us which are saved is the power of God. I have a whole presentation on salvation, which I won't do here. But the preaching of the cross unto us which are saved is the power of God. New World Translation for the speech about the torture stake. You wonder why they stay lost and confused and deluded and you can't reach them when they come to your door. It's because they've got a torture stake, and they don't even know what the cross is. Look at what it says, though. Those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. It is a process to them. You say, that's terrible. All the bottles are open. This could be Grady. Can you get me another water, please? Sorry, that's only one. That's the only one. Look at the speech about the torture stake. Terrible being saved. Oh, you think, well, that's just New World translation. Oh, really? The message no longer preaching. Of the cross is foolishness, those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God to those who are being saved. New King James, the message of the cross is foolishness, those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, not are saved. Well, I don't know about you, but I know about me. I know I am not being saved. I are saved. That's what the verse says. What are you laughing about? That's good English down there in Alabama. Whoa, I got to step over my cord. Thank you, brother. He doesn't trust me. You know, I was thinking that thing would ring or something. He probably didn't turn it on vibrate, left it up here and it'll start ringing. You all be looking at me, why didn't you turn off your phone? He gave me his. All right, I'm gonna put this one here in the middle. Don't drink it. I'm gonna take it with me. New century version. The teaching about the cross is foolish to those who are being lost, but to us who are being saved is the power of God. Contemporary English version. The message about the cross doesn't make any sense to lost people. But for those of us who are being saved, it's God's power at work. And that's strong. That's powerful. Not. Look at it. Being saved is a progress. I have a whole chapter and I have a whole DVD that I just do the NIV in. But do you understand, you can't come up to me with a new King James. The biggest question I get, and if you go online, it's called the KJV store. How many of you have ever heard of it? You guys need to come on down to Alabama. We're educated. I'm only kidding. I'm a Yankee. I've been fighting the war down there 27 years. I came down as a Yankee, even though I was born in Huntsville, but I was raised in Pennsylvania. I'm still a Yankee down there. 27 years later, I even have a slight draw, until I come up here for five days and catch the good lingo back. What was I saying? Oh, the KingJamesStore.com. The guy's a bio-believer. Only King James. Fantastic store. Start out by selling my books only, now he sells many other good Bible-believing books. But he does a great job, the KJV store. And I'm just plugging him because he's a good guy. I don't get anything from that. Matter of fact, buy the books off my website, not off his. Okay, so that tells you something. 1 Corinthians 1.21, "...for after them the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." The foolishness of preaching. And the New World Translation, for since the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God. God saw good through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing. It's blasphemous. Let me ask you. I preach the blood. Is that foolishness? But the act of preaching is. I mean, you've watched me, right? This is foolishness. It really is. I mean, you know, I don't usually to have this good of a time. But you guys are a good group. I'm preaching to the choir this morning. It's fun. It's fun to preach to people that want to know the truth. But the foolishness of preaching is what God says it is. Not our message. Not what we say. Not what's in the pages of that book. That's the New World Translation, right? NIV. Foolishness of what was preached. That's blasphemy. Is it the blood, the cross, Jesus Christ, the fact that He became sin for us? What part of my message is foolishness? My thoughts, maybe, but not what I preach from this book. New King James, the foolishness of the message preached. New King James, nothing wrong with it. The reason I thought of the KJV story is my big seller on it is this video right here on the New King James. Because they get on and they're like, well, what's the difference between the New King James and the King James? There's not really a problem, right? It just gets rid of the these and the thous. What? That's the problem. Thanks. I thought the thing went blank or something. New Century Version. The message that sounds foolish. Ah, that's even close. The message that sounds foolish. You know, because that may be true. But there's so much junk in the New Century Version, I can only give them that much. They're together. Contemporary English Version. The foolish message again. It's terrible. Doctrine changed to teaching. This is crazy. The deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished, the doctrine of the Lord. New World Translation, he's called the proconsul now. He's not the deputy who got demoted or promoted. I don't know which. The teaching of Jehovah. No longer the doctrine of the Lord. NIV, the proconsul. I wonder where they got that from. I wonder where they got that from. Oh, it's easier to understand. It means deputy in the Greek. The proconsul saw what had happened. He believed, for he was amazed. The teaching about the Lord. New King James. The teaching about the Lord. And the proconsul. Now, in the new century version, he has lifted up to governor of the state of Alabama or Mississippi. New century version. Now, we have a good governor. He's a good Christian man. Governor, he got in trouble for saying that you had to be a Christian to be a brother of his when he was inaugurated. He went to a church and spoke and said that, and boy, they blasted him all over the news. Contemporary English version. When the governor saw what had happened, he was amazed at this teaching, the governor. So he stays the governor now. Number 11. 2 Corinthians 2.17, you 20 men get ready. I'm going to call you up. Right when I get toward the end here, I'll say, you guys, come on up. And just take one of these and then just, oh, watch these cords. Oh my, oh my. I don't know, I might get you all over there. Don't get behind me. 2 Corinthians 2.17, for we are not as many which corrupt the Word of God, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. We're not as many which corrupt Look at what this says, New World Translation, we're not as many, we are not peddlers. They ever knock on your door and try to sell you those booklets? NIV, unlike so many, we do not peddle the Word of God for profit. We sell it for a loss. Hey, I didn't say that, Zonderman. You did. You know, they peddle it, but it's not for a profit. New King James, we are not as many peddling the Word of God. Oh, yes, you are. New Century Version, we do not sell the Word of God for a profit. They don't. What kind of fools they think that we are? Contemporary English Version, a lot of people try to get rich from preaching God's message. That means the same thing, doesn't it? Go ahead and come on up, 20 guys, right over there, grab a Bible. Well, what could I say? Grab a perversion on the way up. Here it is, I'm going to go through this. King James Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5.22, abstain from all appearance of evil. That is a very high standard. To abstain from the appearance of evil. You know what the modern version says? It says abstain from every form of wickedness. Abstain from every form of wickedness. NIV says avoid every kind of evil. Avoid every kind of evil. Well, in a minute, new King James, abstain from every form of evil. New century version, and stay away from something that is evil. Contemporary English version, and don't have anything to do with evil. And then the NIV, I think, yeah, here it is. Instead of avoid, now they have reject. And get wherever you can. If you don't want to be blinded, be careful. Go ahead and spread out behind. Just come on and move down. Keep going. That's a lot of men up there. Twenty of you. Go ahead and open at the bottom where the white marker is at the top. Make sure you find 1 Thessalonians 5.22. It's marked in there. Notice it doesn't say avoid anymore. It says reject every kind of evil. Look at the point, though. Abstain from even the appearance of evil. That's a high standard. If it looks bad, don't do it. Now that you're saying, look, if it's bad, don't do it. Much higher standard in the King James Bible. What we're going to be doing is we're going to be looking at these versions right here, and you need to... Can you go ahead and split? I don't want blue on your face. American Standard Version 1901, Moffat 1935, and you can read them yourself, Revised Standard Version, so on. And then we have another 11 through 20 right there. As a congregation, 1 Thessalonians 4.16, please. 5.22. 1 Thessalonians 5.22. And we're going to read it in unison in a moment. Let's all stand together for a moment. I want you to read it out and we're going to read it out together. We're going to read the verse just like you see it. 1 Thessalonians 5.22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. You guys do not read it behind me. Alright, congregation, let's go. 1 Thessalonians 5.22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. Do it again. Abstain from all appearance of evil. That sounded pretty good. Now, you guys back here, don't read the verse number, just read the verse right now. Do it again. Do it again. You guys do it. All right, guys. Keep the Bibles. We'll just go ahead and sit down. You all can be seated. Thank you. Wow! Did you see the difference? You know what I got up there? For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in the churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14.33 That was confusion behind me. And you guys could read in unison because you all had the same standard Bible. Thirteen personal pronouns. And here it is. I need to close on this. The modern versions use the generic you for both singular and plural pronouns. King James Bible uses thee, thine, thine for singular. It begins with a T. And then it uses you, ye, and yours for the plural Y. And that's how you tell the difference. And listen, it's not hard. You see, ye, it means plural. Thee means singular. Thee, and now a word from our sponsors. And that's not me. It's the church here. I've got to tell you. I had to steal this off their website. Pastor Sal, Hope Baptist Church, I appreciate it. It has been phenomenal. I did not think that my faith could be as strengthened as it has been in these few days and more to come this morning and tonight. Thank you very much. I am overwhelmed. We were at the hotel room and I came in two nights ago and the girl stopped me and asked me about Hope Baptist Church. Witness to her gave her track. Her name is A-R-B-E. Arby. She's Indian. Pray for her. That was two nights ago. And I was on the phone with my wife. And my wife is telling me, OK, well I'll just tell you goodbye. I'll call you back. And I'm still talking to her. And she says, OK. And I'm trying not to interrupt. I said, OK. Bye. You know, I'm talking to my wife at the same time I'm talking to this young lady. And she doesn't get saved, but I give her a copy of my salvation book and so on. So I do that, and then last night I'm coming in, and I'm on the phone with my wife again, so I call her as soon as I leave here, and then I'm talking. So I have the headset on, and I walk in. There's another girl there, and her name's Tracy. I said, no, I'm not going to wait for them to ask. I'm going to go ahead and just give her a track. I said, here, I want you to read this when you get a chance. And she says, I will read it. I will have time tonight. I said, what time do you get off? 7 o'clock? I said, look, it's about 1130, and I need about an hour or two to work last night. So I had to get up to the room. I had to. I didn't get to sleep till late. And then about 5 this morning, I woke up. She's getting off at 7, and I said, I don't want to get up yet. And I'm talking to the Lord, Lord, I don't want to get up yet. I swear to you, at 6 o'clock, I'm talking to the Lord again, Lord, I don't want to get up yet. 6, 10, I got up. I said, forget it. I got up, got dressed, went downstairs, and I started talking to her. And Brother Grady was in there eating with his back to me. So I'm talking to her, and I started talking to her. I said, well, you know, did you read the tract? She said, I didn't have any time. This is my first night on audit in hotels. Hotel auditor. And it's all messed up, and I don't know what my boss is going to say, and all this. And then we were talking, and I got Brother Grady to come over, and he said, what are you trying to sell over there? You know, because he knows I'm witnessing to her. And we started talking to her together, and he starts, you know, putting it in. And it's just amazing how it all worked out. Brother just got saved. And she told us. My brother just got saved. And I went, wow. We're talking. You know, my boyfriend just got saved. Wow. There were two people in there. She's shaking. She's crying. I mean, she's got tears coming down. We had two people in there when we started, which obviously aren't going to be there long. They're gone within about one minute. We're in there until ten till seven. Ten after six is when I think I got up, so I don't know when I got down. Maybe twenty after six. And at ten till seven, we were never, ever interrupted. I made that point to Brother Grady, except he said, well, yes we were. We were talking about Hope Baptist Church. On the television, on the television, your flight, honor flight, Hope Baptist Church, Honor Flight on television behind us. We're getting chills. Oh, and then he says, he says, Brother Grady says, what exit are we on? I think we're on six. And he says, yeah, the church is on eight. She says, that's where I live. Her name's Tracy. So Brother Grady talks to her for a while and tells his testimony and she's visibly moved. And, you know, it's 10 till 7, you know, he goes ahead and leaves. And I sat down on the table, and I just turned around and I said, look, I told her the gospel. I said, look, Christ died for your sins. God is obviously working with you. I said, I don't believe in forcing anybody. It has to be a decision you make. You know, are you a sinner? Yes. You know, and I quoted the verse, and I did all that, and I showed her, and I said, look. And I could tell she was still worried. Her boss is coming in any moment. I said, all you got to do is accept Christ by trusting in Him. And she said, I'm going to do that on my own. I said, OK. So her name's Tracy. At Baymont? Baymont Inn? Is that where we are? I can't remember where I am one day to the next. But here, this group right here, I really appreciate. I was not going to tell you that story just because Brother Grady told you the other story the other night when he came in and I was witnessing to those people. I just don't like to I don't like to pull the limelight on me, because it really isn't. I mean, I've got to tell you, some things are going on in my life. I had three people come forward for salvation Sunday morning, including a 63-year-old woman. I was overwhelmed. The one that led her to the Lord, it was Doc Allen. He says, do you realize how unusual it is for a 63-year-old? And you think, well, you think you're a great soul winner. No, I don't. But I know this. We are in times where there's some people listening. If we'll just do our job, we can make it through. That was Sunday morning. Monday night, I preached at Juvenile Detention Center. Fifty young men. I had twelve of them come forward. Twelve of them. Monday night, no, it's Monday night. Tuesday night, I'm out on visitation. Guy with me, first time, he's only been saved one month. He's out on visitation with me. I've only ever had one guy saved in the past three months on visitation. Because I don't force people. This guy was, you know, he had, he was breathing, you know, oxygen, dying, 30 minutes I'm in there with him and he, I need to get saved. It's about time, he says, this is the other guy, this is the, a couple months ago. This guy, first, first one we go visit is Catholic and I won't tell you the story about her. She almost gets saved, her husband interrupted. Next one is a sheriff's deputy. gets saved right in his doorway. And I mean, it was the sweetest thing. And the guy interrupts me to help me be a better soul. And he says, you know, hey, this is what happened to me when I got saved. Gives his testimony, and the guy listens to him and gets saved. It wasn't me. So we leave that place and go next door, and there's a 13-year-old young man. He gets saved. So I'm with this young, I'm with this guy. He says, man, wow, I've never seen anybody get saved. I just got saved. Of course he didn't see anybody get saved. He just got saved. Look, what I'm telling you is I don't know what time we're living in. We've said it's the last days for a long time, but I'm here to tell you there's a lot going on. I'm having the time of my life. Don't like, brother, did you say don't wake me up? Don't wake me up. And look, if you got some bone to pick with me, go pick it with with Grady. Finally. All right, look, I've got to quit. I could tell you about some other things, but I won't put your ads. I put the ads at the end because I wanted to make sure I had enough time, and I am ten minutes over. I try to stop on time. I really do. I went over the other day. I'm first creature. Try not to go over, but I'll take ten minutes out of yours. I'm kidding. Pastor? I do appreciate it, and listen, I appreciate Hope Baptist, the ladies that have cooked, the people that have kept this thing going, the late nights, early mornings, the great audience. Hey, thank you very much. You've made this preacher, without his wife, very, very encouraged. Thank you. Alright, we're going to shift and adjust a few things here, get set up for Brother Schott.
