The Bible is a truly unique book. Its 66 books were written down by forty different writers over a period of roughly 1600 years. There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. There are a total of 1189 chapters in the Bible. The Old Testament has 929 chapters. The New Testament has 260 chapters. The Bible has 31,102 verses. 27% of the Bible was prophetic (predictive) at the time of its writing. 75% of Bible prophecy is yet unfulfilled — making over 20% of the Bible of special interest to us. There are 18 distinctly prophetic books in the Bible. Most other books contain prophetic statements — either directly or in types, illustrations, and parables.

The shortest Old Testament book is Obadiah. The longest Old Testament book is Psalms. The longest Old Testament prophecy book is Jeremiah followed by Ezekiel then Isaiah. The shortest book in the Bible is 3 John. The four shortest books in the New Testament arranged in order from the shortest to the longest would be 3 John, 2 John, Philemon, and Jude. The only book in the Bible that does not mention the name of God is the book of Esther. However, the book of Esther has the footprints and hand prints of God all over it in that it shows the mighty hand of God in the deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman who is a type of the antichrist. Perhaps the most unusual book in the Bible is the Song Of Solomon. At first reading, it appears to be a mere romance, but upon close examination it reveals itself as a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church as the Bride Of Christ.

The King James Bible is written at an overall grade level of 6.1 with the Old Testament being written at grade level 6.5 and the New Testament being at grade level 5.96. When the grade level scores and the readability scores are combined, the King James Version proves to be the easiest to read of all versions. Because of its rhythms and cadences, the King James Version is also easier to memorize, especially for children. There are many other reasons that make it absolutely necessary that English speaking Christians use only the King James Version. We will discuss some of those reasons later on in our study.

The King James Old Testament is written in almost all Hebrew with the exception of Daniel 2:4-7:28, Ezra 4:8-6:18, Ezra 7:12-26, and Jeremiah 10:11 which are written in Syriack (Aramaic). The Old Testament is based upon the Hebrew Masoretic text. The King James New Testament is based upon the Greek Textus Receptus.

The Bible is God’s special revelation to us about who he is. God has provided us with his word that we may know exactly what he expects of us. It is God’s intention that we understand his word. When reading and studying the Bible, always interpret it literally. If you do not interpret the Bible literally you will always be speculating about what God actually means. If God has not stated exactly what He means in literal terms, you have no way of ever knowing what his intentions and requirements are. The scriptures are full of symbols that we would have no way of interpreting and understanding if God did not explain them to us in the context. Any scripture that is taken out of context is a pretext. Many of the prophetic books are loaded with symbols that would be impossible to understand if God did not explain them. The books of Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation are chock full of symbols. Many folks get into trouble in these books because they try to attach some wild and mystical meaning to these symbols. Every one of these symbols is explained in the context of the chapter or the book. We must train ourselves to look for it. We must rightly divide the word of truth. Many folks say they cannot understand the book of Revelation because of the symbols

The author of every book in the Bible is the Holy Ghost of God. The Bible has an amazing unity with its central theme being the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ walks down through every page of our Bibles because he is the Living Word of God. For true Bible believers, the Bible is our written standard and guideline for all rules of faith and practice. The only pure and perfect Bible for English speaking peoples is the 1611 Authorized King James Version. It is the only English Bible that God has truly blessed since its publication in 1611. It is the only English Bible that God has used for great revivals since its publication. We have not had a great revival in the United States since the “professing” church forsook the King James Bible. The church makes no distinction between the worlds methods and God’s methods. The church dresses just like the world. The church listens to the world’s music and brings it into the church. The church makes no distinction between the holy Word of God and the profane babblings of a bunch of demon possessed so-called Bible scholars. Just as the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, was crucified between to thieves, the written word of God is being crucified between two thieves: the dollar and the scholar. The Bible says in:

Ezekiel 22:25-28
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

The Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:15-20:

Matthew 7:15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Paul said in Acts 20:29-30:

Acts 20:29-30
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

THE WORD

It is not entirely correct to say that the Bible contains God’s word. It is more correct to say that the Bible IS God’s word. Many perversions contain the word of God, but the 1611 Authorized King James Version is the word of God for English speaking peoples.

John 1:1,14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Revelation 19:11-13
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

2 Timothy 3:13-17
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Job 32:7-8
⁷I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. ⁸ But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

The term inspiration in verse 16 above means “God breathed”. The scriptures are God breathed because they are the breath of life. These verses also tell us that all scripture is given by inspiration; not just parts of it. The Bible is not a candy store. We cannot pick and choose those parts that we will accept or those that we will reject. It’s all or none. We must take the whole counsel of God. Note that there are some very, very powerful words in this passage (doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction). We are not to correct the Bible. The Bible is to be used to correct us. Also note from Job 32:7-8 that it is the inspiration of God that gives us understanding.

Many times we hear preachers, pastors, and teachers use the terms inspired, inerrant, and infallible. We have already seen that inspired means “God breathed”. Inerrant means that every detail in the Bible was recorded without error. Infallible means that the Bible is without error in its teaching. It is also said that the Bible is verbally inspired. By this we mean that the very words of Scripture are God̓s words. Inspiration goes beyond the concepts and message to actual words. You will also hear the term plenary inspiration used sometimes. The word “plenary” means “extending to all parts alike,” and by Plenary Inspiration we mean all of the Bible is inspired and every part of the Bible is equally inspired.

Many Bible correctors will tell you that the Bible is only inspired in the originals. There is a big problem with that statement. They cannot prove it because we do not have the originals. God made sure that the originals were destroyed because if he had not, man would have set them up to worship as idols. The original of the 1611 Authorized King James Version was destroyed in a fire. What we have is preserved copies of the originals and God ordained translations of the copies. Inspiration extends equally to all of them.

It is very important that we know that God gave the scriptures to holy men of God. Holy men of God are saved men. There were no unbelievers in the group. The Bible says in:

2 Peter 1:19-21
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 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.

It is a cinch that if God gave the scriptures to holy men of God that he is also going to call holy men of God to translate them. Any translation that comes out of a committee that is composed of a mixed multitude of deceived Christians, apostates, unbelievers, cultists, sodomites, and anti-Semitics cannot have the approval of God. These be the filthy dreamers of Jude 8. The New International Version (NIV) is the darling of many Southern Baptists and many Sovereign Grace Baptists. The only problem is that this darling has been hanging around with the harlot of Revelation 17. This NIV perversion and all other new perversions are the perverse disputings of men and women of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth (1 Timothy 6:5). These men and women are being used of the devil and therefore being carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive and be deceived.

Deuteronomy 8:1-3
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Matthew 4:4 (Luke 4:4)
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

John 6:67-68
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Psalm 119 is referred to as “The Word Of God Psalm”. Psalm 119 is composed of 22 sets of 8 verses each that commence with the same Hebrew letter. It starts with the very first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and proceeds exactly in order through the entire Hebrew alphabet. Each of the verses in verses1-8 will all start with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Each of the verses in verses 9-16 will start with the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet and etc. all the way through the alphabet. The phrase “thy word” is used 35 times in Psalm 119.

Psalm 119:9,11,89,105,133,140,160-161
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

John 17:17
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH THE WORD OF GOD

We are to read, study, rightly divide, and meditate upon the scriptures. We are to use the scriptures as our guiding light; as our standard for living; and as our standard for pleasing God. Note the following scriptures:

Joshua 1:8
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.

1 Timothy 4:13-15
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

John 5:39
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Acts 17:11
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

1 Peter 2:2
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Timothy 2:2,15
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hebrews 5:11-14
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Revelation 1:3
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

PRESERVATION

How do we know that we can and do have the word of God in our hands? The answer is that God has promised that he will preserve his words forever. God has promised that His word will stand forever. Turn in your Bibles to:

Psalm 12:6-7
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Psalm 119:89
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Isaiah 40:8
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Matthew 24:35 (Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33)
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

1 Peter 1:23-25
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF HIS WORD

The phrase “holy name” is used 20 times in the Old Testament in relation to the name of God. The name of God was considered to be so holy that most Jewish people even refused to speak it. Scribes when they were preparing to write the name of God (Jehovah) in manuscripts considered the name to be so holy they would wash their whole body before writing it. Would to God that the whole wolfpack of modern day Bible correcting heretics, apostates, and demon possessed scholars had even a touch of this type of respect for God and the word of God. Our Bibles say in:

Acts 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Psalm 138:1-2
1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Did you hear that! God has magnified his word even above that most holy name! That should serve as yet another warning to any who would tamper with the word of God. The Hebrew Massorites (those who had charge over the Word of God) had so much respect for the word of God that they recorded the number of times each letter occurred in each book of the Old Testament. For each book, they also recorded the number of words, the middle word, the number of verses, the middle verse, and the number of sentences. All this was done to prevent the loss of a single letter or word.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ITSELF

2 Peter 3:15-16
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

John 10:35 also says that the scripture cannot be broken.

ADDING TO OR TAKING AWAY

The Bible has numerous warnings not to add or take away from the Bible. Yet, modern man has the audacity to play with the word of God as if it were a bowl of alphabet soup or a bunch of ABC blocks in a modern day care center. It is very dangerous to handle the word of God in a deceitful, audacious, or careless way. Matthew 5:18 says: “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled”.

So, we see that God demands that we respect his word even down to the jots and tittles. The jots and tittles are tiny marks that make the distinction between the different letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Revelation 22:18 even warns against taking away from the words of the book. Revelation 22:19 says: “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”. Note that this Scripture says that we are not to even take away from the words (that is, subtract letters). That should be a very strong warning to those who handle the word of God so nonchalantly. Note the following Scriptures also:

Deuteronomy 4:1-2
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Jeremiah 26:2
2 Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

Revelation 22:18-19
18 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: 19 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.

There have been at least 156 complete English Bibles published since the Authorized King James Bible was published in 1611. None have stood the test of time. Since the ‘professing” church in general forsook the KJV, the church in America is drowning in a sea of apostasy, heresy, abominations, and outright blasphemy.

Since about 1881 the Bible of English speaking peoples has come under the most vile attack imaginable. 1881 was the year that English Revised Version was first published along with a new, polluted Greek text that was foisted on the world by two Anglican heretics and apostates known as Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort; collectively known as Westcott and Hort. This perverted Westcott and Hort Greek text is the textual basis for almost all New Testaments in the modern perversions of the Bible regardless of language.

The 1611 Authorized King James Version Old Testament is based upon the Hebrew Masoretic Text (sometimes called the Ben Chayyim Text). All new perversions of the Bible use a corrupt Hebrew text known as Biblia Hebraica published by Rudolph Kittel, an antisemitic German who hated the Jewish people. The 1611 Authorized King James Version New Testament is based mainly upon the Greek Textus Receptus (usually referred to as the Received Text). The Greek Textus Receptus was compiled from 5,210 Greek manuscripts. The corrupt Westcott-Hort Greek text was compiled from only 45 Greek manuscripts. Those 45 manuscripts were some of the most corrupt known. That means that the Westcott-Hort Greek text was based upon only .86% (less than 1%) of the available manuscripts. When all of the evidence is compiled against the corrupt Westcott-Hort Greek text, it is discovered that their text was based almost solely upon only two corrupt Roman Catholic manuscripts known as Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. The Vatican manuscript omits Genesis 1:1 through Genesis 46:28; Psalms 106 through Psalms 138; Matthew 16:2–3, Romans 16:24 the Pauline Pastoral Epistles; Revelation; and everything in Hebrews after Hebrews 9:14 (read from Hebrews 9:15 through the end of chapter 10 and you will see why). The Vaticanus manuscript was not even discovered until the late 1300s or early 1400s in the library at the Vatican. The Sinaiticus manuscript was discovered in the 1800s discarded in a waste basket in a monastery at the base of Mount Sinai in a room stacked to the ceiling with skulls. Dean Burgon, a strong defender of the King James Bible had this to say about these manuscripts (B= Vaticanus, א= Sinaiticus):

Singular to relate the first, second, fourth, and fifth of these codecs is (B א C D), but especially B and א, have within the last twenty years established a tyrannical ascendancy over the imagination of the Critics, which can only be sadly spoken of as blind superstition. It matters nothing that all four are discovered on careful scrutiny to differ essentially, not only from ninety-nine out of a hundred of the whole body of the extant MSS. besides, but even from one another. This last circumstance, obviously fatal to their corporate pretensions, is unaccountably overlooked. And yet it admits of only one satisfactory explanation: viz. that in different degrees they all five exhibit a fabricated Text. Between the first two (B and א) their subsists an amount of sinister resemblance, which proves that they must have been derived at no very remote period from the same corrupt original. Tischendorf insists that they were partly written by the same scribe. Yet, do they stand asunder in every page; as well as differ widely from the commonly received Text, with which they have been carefully collated. On being referred to this standard, in the Gospels alone, B is found to omit at least 2877 words: to add, 536: to substitute, 935: to transpose, 2098: to modify, 1132 (in all 7578): – the corresponding figures for א being severally 3455, 839, 1114, 2299, 1265 (in all 8972). And be it remembered that the omissions, additions, substitutions, transpositions, and modifications, are by no means the same in both. It is in fact easier to find two consecutive verses in which these two manuscripts differ the one from the other, and than two consecutive verses in which they entirely agree.

But by far the most depraved text, is that exhibited by codex D. No known manuscript contains so many bold and extensive interpolations. Though a large portion of the Gospels is missing, and what remains (tested by the same standard) we find 3704 words omitted: no less than 2213 added, and 2121 substituted. The words transposed amount to 3471: and 1772 have been modified: the deflections from the received text thus amounting in all to 13,281 – Next to D, the most untrustworthy codexs is א, which bears on its front a memorable note of the evil repute under which it has always labored: viz. it is found that at least 10 revisers between the IV^th and a XII^th centuries busied themselves with the task of correcting its many an extraordinary perversions of the truth of Scripture. – next in impurity comes B: – then, the fragmentary codecx C: our own A being beyond all doubt, disfigured by the fewest blemishes of any.

We venture to assure him, without a particle of hesitation, the א, B, and D are three of the most scandalously corrupt copies extant: – exhibit the most shamefully mutilated texts which are anywhere to be met with: – have become, by whatever process (for their history is wholly unknown), the depositories of the largest amount of fabricated readings, ancient blunders, and intentional perversions of truth, – which are discoverable in any known copies of the Word of God.

Please take note of the following comments by James Melton about Westcott and Hort:

1. Together, the Life and Letters of Brooke Foss Westcott and the Life and Letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort run over 1,800 pages. A personal salvation testimony is not given once for either man, and the name "Jesus" is found only nine times!

2. Westcott was a firm believer in Mary worship, and Hort claimed that Mary worship had a lot in common with Jesus worship.

3. Hort believed in keeping Roman Catholic sacraments.

4. Hort believed in baptismal regeneration as taught in the Catholic church.

5. Hort rejected the infallibility of Scripture.

6. Hort took great interest in the works of Charles Darwin, while both he and Westcott rejected the literal account of Creation.

7. Westcott did not believe in the Second Coming of Christ, the Millennium, or a literal Heaven.

8. Both men rejected the doctrine of a literal Hell, and they supported prayers for the dead in purgatory.

9. Hort refused to believe in the Trinity.

10. Hort refused to believe in angels.

11. Westcott confessed that he was a communist by nature.

12. Hort confessed that he hated democracy in all it's forms.

13. Westcott also did his share of beer drinking. In fact, only twelve years after the Revised Version was published, Westcott was a spokesman for a brewery.

14. While working on their Greek text (1851-1871), and while working on the Revision Committee for the Revised Version (1871-1881), Westcott and Hort were also keeping company with "seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" (I Tim. 4:1). Both men took great interest in occult practices and clubs. They started the Hermes Club in 1845, the Ghostly Guild in 1851, and Hort joined a secret club called The Apostles in the same year. They also started the Eranus Club in 1872. These were spiritualists groups which believed in such unscriptural practices as communicating with the dead (necromancy).

15. The Westcott and Hort Greek text was SECRETLY given to the Revision Committee.

16. The members of the Revision Committee of 1881 were sworn to a pledge of secrecy in regard to the new Greek text being used, and they met in silence for ten years.

17. The corrupt Greek text of Westcott and Hort was not released to the public until just five days before the debut of the Revised Version. This prevented Bible-believing scholars like Dean Burgon from reviewing it and exposing it for the piece of trash that it was.

Why the THEEs, THYs, YEs AND THOUs?

The thees and thous are the only accurate translations of the Greek pronouns from which the King James pronouns come. These King James pronouns were not a part of the everyday English that was spoken in England at the time the King James Version was translated. They were a type of Biblical English. A check of the preface to the 1611 Authorized King James Version will prove this to be true.

WHAT ABOUT STUDY BIBLES

We cannot not recommend any study Bibles that we have looked at because I have yet to find one that does not use the study notes to correct the text of the King James Bible. I have looked at all the study notes in The Ryrie KJV Study Bible, the King James Study Bible published by Liberty University, The Defenders KJV Study Bible, the KJV Thompson’s Chain Reference Bible, the 1917 KJV Scofield Study Bible, and the KJV Companion Study Bible. All of them have notes in them that question the accuracy of the King James Bible. The least offensive of all the study Bibles that we have seen is the Old Scofield Study. The New Scofield Study Bible claims to be a KJV Bible, but they have lied because there are over 6,000 changes in the text.

The King James Bible is the whipping post for Satan and his scholars. As one lady has aptly said: “The Bible is being crucified between two thieves: the dollar and the scholar.”

There are no errors in the 1611 Authorized King James Version. It is a perfect translation of the Greek and Hebrew texts that it is based upon.
