Thoughts about using a KJV update?

[Grailhunter]

Inaccuracies within the King James Version of the translation of the Bible. I am going to start with two of the more serious issues….

1. The Comma Johanneum as it is referred to, originated as a common literary explanation or formula for the Trinity. It first appeared in the 3rd century in some of the literature, not the Bible, which debated the oneness concepts of the Trinity. Even though this formula would become very popular, at the time, very few Church Fathers agreed with it.

At some point this short summary of the Trinity made its way into the margin notes of some of the Bibles that were written after the 5th century. Unlike other examples of popular margin notes that made their way into the scriptures, the Comma Johanneum found its way into the verses of the Bible by way of another avenue. After the 6th century, the Byzantines begain to recopy and retranslate the available Greek texts of the New Testament. At this point some of these copies became known as the “Textus Receptus.” It was in some of these that the formula was added and then later included in some of the Bibles. Most notably the King James Version, which relied heavily on these texts. As it happened the Comma Johanneum Addition was much more than a retranslation, or an addition, but rather a replacement of the original scriptures with a popular theological explanation for the Trinity. They kept the verse numbers in sequence so that it would not be as noticeable.

The scriptures involved are 1st John 5:7&8. The original scriptures read as follows... (Quoting 6 through 8, so it can be read in context)

“6. This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. 7. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8. And it is the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.”

This was replaced with what came to be called the Comma Johanneum Addition. Verses 7 and 8 are the added lines.

6: This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7: For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8: And there are three that bear witness in Earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

As one can see there is no chance that these are simply a different translation, but rather a removal of the scriptures and an insertion of a theological statement for an intended purpose. Still and it is important to note, that this corruption of the scriptures occurred centuries before the King James Version, the King James Version just adopted the corruption.

Then here is the list of additions that the KJV bible added, or to be fair the added scriptures in the manuscripts and sources that the KJV used. If you have a NASB, you can follow along and you can still see the additional scriptures, they are just bracketed with side notes that explain that they are not in the older manuscripts. These are verses that do not appear in the earlier tests, and most were added centuries after the canon. The other problem is that the KJV has added non-biblical words that have caused false beliefs…caused them or reinforced existing false beliefs which is a very serious matter because these false beliefs interconnect and cause sin. The non-biblical words are another topic because it is long topic and it deals with the history of them.

2. Isaiah 14:12 Actually reads…How you have fallen from heaven, o star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, you who have weakened the nation.

The Vulgate Latin translation changed this verse and added the word Lucifer as a name for the devil. Then the King James Version adopted it and but in their Bibles. Was this an intent to deceive or just bad research?

The Vulgate and the King James Version re-wrote it and it appears like this.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

This is incredibly significant! Changing a small thing in the Bible can effect so many things and cause so many false beliefs…what this does is like a can of worms. Can you imagine how many sermons and books and even Bibles that have referenced this name as a name for Satan all over the world for how many centuries? False beliefs are like lies and they multiply, this one causes some serious false beliefs that are shocking to Christians.

Read Chapter 14 and you will see that this chapter is about a powerful Babylonian King, not Satan.

3. Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: (For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.) ….This ending to the Lord’s pray does not appear in the older manuscripts texts that have been discovered.

4. Matthew 18:11
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost…..This verse does not appear in the older manuscripts that have been discovered.

5. Matthew 17:21
“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. ” ….This verse does not appear in the older manuscripts that have been discovered.

6. Matthew 23:14
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation….. This verse does not appear in the older manuscripts that have been discovered.

John 8:9
7. 9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more….. These verses do not appear in the older manuscripts that have been discovered.

8. Mark 7:16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear….. This verse does not appear in the older manuscripts that have been discovered.

9. Mark 9:44 and 46
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Strange…verse 44 does not appear in older manuscripts but verse 46 does…a duplicate…it is not known why it was added.

10. Mark 11:26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. This verse is very similar to Matthew 6:15. This verse appeared in the Complutensian Polyglot and most Textus Receptus editions. This verse does not appear in the Greek texts.

11. Mark 15:28
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. This quotation from Isaiah 53:12 is not contained in many manuscripts.

12. The ending of the Gospel of Mark... 16:9-20 does not appear in the older texts that have been discovered, so at sometime they were added.

13. Mark 16:15
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Among some the more well known periscope scriptures that were inserted and do not flow with the conversation.

14. Luke 17:36
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ... Many manuscripts do not contain this verse.

15. John 5:3-4
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, (waiting for the moving of the water.) 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. Not only is verse 4 omitted, but also the tail end of verse 3.

16. John 8:1-11
1. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. …

This verses does not appear in the older texts that have been discovered and is one the most famous periscope scriptures there is. Meaning a non-biblical scripture that was clumsy inserted and does not fit into the storyline one way or the other.

On the other side of the coin, in my travels I have run a crossed this story in a couple landmark libraries. Not as scriptures, but as a popular and accepted story of truth. It has it inconsistences because the Jews would have been killed for executing someone at the Temple Mount. And why was it only the woman that was brought before Christ? But still from what I read this story had always been popular in the early Christian churches and well known Church leaders wrote about the story as far back as the 3rd century. 1500 year old book at the beautiful Cambridge Library...interesting visit. But anyway, in my opinion it is a true story. And because it was so popular I believe they threw it into the Gospel of John to preserve it.

17. Acts 8:37
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. … This verse is not in the older manuscripts, the earliest manuscripts that contain this verse are from the 7th century.

18. Act 15:34
Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still…. Although this verse, or something similar to it, is quite old, maybe 5th century, it does not appear in the oldest manuscripts, and the manuscripts that do contain it are consistent on the wording.

19. Acts 24:6-8
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. 7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. ….(Note above that not only is verse 7 not in older manuscripts, but also the end of verse 6 and beginning of verse 8.)

20. Acts 28:29
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. ….This verse does not appear in the older manuscripts and does not appear anywhere until the 9th century.

21. Romans 16:24
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen….This verse occurs twice in the KJV in this chapter; once as the conclusion to verse 23 and again as verse 24, which is the verse that does not appear in older manuscripts.

There are about a dozen more scriptures in the KJV that have problems but the explanations are lengthy.

Thanks for posting all this! It is very interesting and informative. I'm sure that the KJVO people will jump on you and accuse you of being in league with "Lucifer" but they have a hard time with reality.

 

[Jim B]

Without a Bible you cannot grow in the faith (1 Peter 2:2), hear the gospel (1 Peter 1:23), be doers of the word (James 1:22), preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2), be nourished (1 Timothy 4:6), You cannot read it to others (1 Thessalonians 5:27), your without a weapon (Ephesians 6:27), you cannot be clean (Ephesians 5:26), You cannot be sanctified (John 17:17), You cannot be blessed (Luke 11:28), You cannot live (Matthew 4:4), and on and on and on…

Even Christ himself quoted scripture to the Devil (Matthew 4:4-7).

YOU DO THEREFORE GREATLY ERR.

Absolute nonsense! How do you think that illiterate people grew in the faith in the past and in the present? How many people today wish that they could own a Bible but cannot?

Do you need a Bible to "hear the gospel"? Be doers of the word? Be clean? Be sanctified? Be blessed?

You're living in some fantasy land.

LOL LOL I am in good company, Christ was accused of that and Paul took his stripes for telling the truth.
My ministry is the Johnny Appleseed of truth. Put this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to so many false beliefs held by Christians and most of them caused by the KJV or perpetuated by the KJV....shocking!

I agree totally! It's bizarre that people consider the KJV, one of many English translations created both before and after 1611, to be the definitive Bible. They must think that God Himself dictated the words to the bunch who followed King James orders to create a Bible that defined His personal Christianity. I really can't understand their madness!

There is a strong religious connection to the KJV. It was the only Protestant Bible for a long time. They believe in it like Christ came down and officially endorsed it. LOL When looking for the truth you should be looking for accuracy. The Catholics for a long time did not allow their congregations to have Bibles....Because the Catholic Church wanted to tell them what to believe..

The Protestants produce a Bible that people could not understand so they could tell what to believe. At that point they could change things around all they wanted.....LOL....ergo....30,000 denominations.

I can't count how many times I have heard someone read the KJV from the pulpit, then say "now what this means" and translate it "on the fly" into modern English. In fact, I think many KJV people like the obfuscation of the KJV Englyshe so they can spin their own doctrine.

I was in darkness until I bought a Bible.

It was the only thing that changed my life.

Your post angered me so much that I had to pause before posting something I might have regretted. It’s hard for me to imagine a person with your attitude.

Why don’t you post some scripture to support your baloney?

Because your babbling has no scriptural backing, that’s why!

God inspired the apostles to teach the scriptures and write them down so that all men could be reached however way their circumstances allowed. But without SOMEONE having the scriptures after the passing of the apostles there was no way anyone would be saved. This is why his word is preserved to this day. And with the Bible so readily available these days it’s sad that your attitude persists in many people.

I have quenched your darts by the faith that gives me peace through my trustworthy Bible (Ephesians 6:16).

Now why don’t you try to edify the brethren instead of beating up on those you see as beneath you because they love an old fashioned translation of the holy scriptures.

Jesus asked peter. Do you LOVE (AGAPE) me?

Peter responded. Yeah Lord I Love (Phileo) you

This is not a parable. It is not a symbolic representation of what is being said.

it is a fallacy in the english language.

Until I first saw this, I had a basic understanding of what it meant

When I first saw it. My eyes were opened to the truth.

Even though Peter could not say He loved Jesus with agape love as of yet. Jesus still told him to do his work.

Jesus repeated the same words again, The thirst Time, Jesus came down to Peters level

Peter do you phileo me, Which caused peter to do what we all would do in pride. And get upset..

Jesus restored peter with this conversation. Peter denied there times, Here Jesus asked peter three times,,And he told peter with no small effect. Even though you can not say you love me with the agape Tupperware of love. I still love you and will empower you to do my work.

Like I said, You will only see what you want to see.

Agapao versus phileo:

Well, let's take a closer look at how God uses these two words and see if there is really something to what they say or not.

John 3:16 "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son..." The verb used here is form of 'agape', so we are told it always means a God-type unconditional love. OK, but what do we then do with these verses using the same verb?

John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men LOVED darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." Agapao

John 12:42-43 "they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they LOVED the praise of men more than the praise of God." Agapao

Luke 6:32 "for sinners LOVE those that LOVE them." Agapao

2 Timothy 4:10 "For Demas hath forsaken me, having LOVED this present world..." Agapao

2 Peter 2:15 "Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam to son of Bosor, who LOVED the wages of unrighteousness." Agapao

1 John 2:15 "If any man LOVE the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Agapao

It should be abundantly clear that the scholar who insists the word 'agape' means an unconditional, God-type love has no idea what he is talking about.

Well, what about phileo then? Does it always mean a friendship type of love and not the love of God?

John 16:27 "For the Father himself LOVETH you, because ye have LOVED me, and have believed that I came out from God." Phileo

Revelation 3:19 "As many as I LOVE, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent." Phileo

1 Corinthians 16:22 "If any man LOVE not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." Phileo

Well, then do these two words actually mean the same thing? Let's compare some Scriptures.

Matthew 23:6 "LOVE the uppermost rooms at feasts" Phileo

Luke 11:43 " ye LOVE the uppermost seats in the synagogues" Agapao

John 5:20 "the Father LOVETH the Son" Phileo

John 10:17 "therefore doth my Father LOVE me" Agapao

Titus 2:4 "women to be sober, to LOVE their husbands..." Phileo

Ephesians 5:28 "So ought men to LOVE their wives..." Agapao

Hebrews 13:1 "Let brotherly LOVE continue" Phileo

1 Peter 2:17 "LOVE the brotherhood" Agapao


So as we can see things are not as you say, my friend.

except that is false

That really does not sound like convincing rebuttal, friend.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

I just do not know what you are getting at. Why bring historical events into the mix? i was telling you it was pointless talking to me about door-to-door salesmen in the context of preferred bible translation. None of us should be putting down another Christian because of their choice of bible, but so many - mostly men - get so hot under the collar about it that they become heavy handed and sometime even downright rude on the subject. I even got banned from one site by the owner because I preferred a different bible to the KJV.

And my passionate defense of the KJB led to the topic being banned because they seen it as divisive. But I see it as a suppression of freedom of speech.

Anyways, peace, and blessings be unto you in the Lord (even if we disagree).

 

[Robert Gwin]

Translated into English it is his name.

Walking around saying “Yeshua” is just a show in pedantry.

I don’t demand everyone pronounce my name it’s original language. That’s just silly.

Not actually sir, we were speaking about God's name in what is referred to as the New Testament.

You know I have always been puzzled why the translators rendered Yeshua Jesus, rather than Joshua, yet all seem to do it.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Not actually sir, we were speaking about God's name in what is referred to as the New Testament.

You know I have always been puzzled why the translators rendered Yeshua Jesus, rather than Joshua, yet all seem to do it.

I found this information on Google:

“Yeshua is the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Joshua.” Iesous is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Jesus.” Thus, the names “Joshua” and “Jesus” are essentially the same; both are English pronunciations of the Hebrew and Greek names for our Lord. (For examples of how the two names are interchangeable, see Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 in the KJV. In both cases, the word Jesus refers to the Old Testament character Joshua.)”

“Changing the language of a word does not affect the meaning of the word. We call a bound and covered set of pages a “book.” In German, it becomes a buch. In Spanish, it is a libro; in French, a livre. The language changes, but the object itself does not. As Shakespeare said, “That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo and Juliet, II:i).”

 

[Robert Gwin]

If that’s your only argument you are coming up short.
As I already demonstrated in this thread, there are important doctrines that are changed in Modern Bibles. See post #254 (on the following subsequent posts after).

As for the issue you have, read this article here:

“LORD" or "Jehovah/YHWH" in Genesis 2:4 et al.? - KJV Today

If you don’t buy it, then have a great day in believing there is no perfect Word of God that you can hold in your hands.
I have a perfect Bible, and I am happy to believe in it and not doubt it and or create my own version of God’s Word.

Fact is the Bible does not exist sir, if it did then it would be perfect. No Version is perfect, and your choice is far from it. In fact as I have demonstrated because of your choice preference, you have come to believe Jesus is God. Are you aware that when Jesus returns, he will destroy all those who do not know God?

The New Testament writers inspired by the Holy Ghost did precisely that: when quoting the Old Testament where God’s abbreviated name appeared they used the Greek word for Lord.

Non issue. Move on…

No sir, inspired individuals would never alter God's word. The translators of your version are the ones who chose to alter it, not the inspired penman.

 

[Robert Gwin]

Yes, which proves the translators were not biased.

Out of thine own mouth Truth! Do you not think it is better to know who God is, and obey Jesus in his recommendation to worship and serve Him exclusively?

 

[Michiah-Imla]

No sir, inspired individuals would never alter God's word. The translators of your version are the ones who chose to alter it, not the inspired penman.

The Greek manuscripts all say “Lord” in the Greek form when quoting the Old Testament.

Greek is the original language of the New Testament: translators aren’t involved at all.
