Did Christians from 350 AD to 1881 AD not have the correct Word of God, until the Westcott and Hort heretics saved the day for God, the Bible, Christians and the world? Is God in control of Bible preservation or not? If God can give us His infallible word in the first century, is He unable to preserve it for Christians up to the 20th century? By the year 500 AD, the NT manuscript text chosen by the wealthy upper classes who could afford to ignore the expense, was without exception of the Byzantine/KJV text type. Why?

5 These parchments being stained with purple and written in silver or gold, tell us that these wealthy, upper class Christians, who had greater knowledge of, and access to the true NT text, clearly preferred the Byzantine KJV text over the Alexandrian papyri. They would have known of the Alexandrian texts as corrupt, and hence rejected them. This is a strong argument for KJV readings. See The Text of the NT by Kurt Aland, 1. Ye shall not ADD unto the WORD which I command you, neither shall ye DIMINISH ought from it,.. Deuteronomy 4:2. 2. Satan cometh immediately and TAKETH AWAY THE Mark 4:15. 3. Jesus said: Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18. 4. If any man 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.

6 Revelation 22:19. I. KEY CHANGES TO DISCUSS INITIALLY. 1. The NIV in Luke 11:2-4 omits key parts of the LORD S PRAYER. The devil would not want us to pray these omitted words. Matthew 6:9-13 in both KJV and NIV includes these omitted words in the Lord s Prayer. NIV, NASB, et al Luke 11:2-4 KJV OMIT Father OMIT , hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, OMIT . Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation OMIT . Our Father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 2a) Which FATHER ? New Agers pray to another father which is not in heaven, but is the god of this world.

7 Ye are of your father the devil . John 8:44. Satan likes being called Father because he wants to be like the Most High. b) OUR must be removed because it opposes the New Age idea of the universal fatherhood of God . They think God is the Father of all people. They object to God being the Father only of Christians (John 1:12). c) WHICH ART IN HEAVEN identifies the Father to be worshipped as God in heaven and not the devil. d) THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH . The devil does not want us to pray that God s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hence it is omitted. e) DELIVER US FROM EVIL . The devil doesn t want us to pray for God to deliver us from evil but rather he wants evil to come to us. Evil is too black and white. The devil doesn t want us to think about good and evil, heaven and hell. Hence he removes them from the Luke 11:2-4 Lord s Prayer in modern versions.

8 2. The NIV, in Isaiah 14:12, BLASPHEMES CHRIST by putting Him in the place of Lucifer the devil? NIV Isaiah 14:12 KJV How you have fallen from heaven, O MORNING STAR, But you are brought down to the GRAVE How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations. Thou hast said in thine I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell.(v15) Lucifer (KJV) becomes Morning Star (NIV). But JESUS Christ calls Himself the bright and morning star in Revelation 22:16. So the NIV by inserting morning star in Isaiah 14:12, a) Removes all mention of Lucifer as the devil s personal name from Scripture. b) Blasphemes Christ by accusing Him as the One who weakens the nations. c) Denies Christ s deity by stating that Christ wanted to be like the most High.

9 D) Blasphemes Christ by predicting that He will be brought down to hell. e) They change hell to grave , thus removing the warning against hell. f) Blasphemes Christ by saying that He has fallen from heaven. Note: MORNING STAR (NIV) is a wrong translation because: a) STAR (3556 Kokab) appears nowhere in Isaiah 14:12. b) MORNING (7837 shachar) appears only once in , (son of the morning), not twice as NIV claims. c) LUCIFER (1966 heylel) comes from the root word to shine (1984 halal), and means shining one or bright one . d) The Septuagint translates it as: How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven . 33. NIV in Micah 5:2 says Christ has an ORIGIN, wrongly making Him a CREATED being. NIV Micah 5:2 KJV whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

10 Note: This is sickening heresy for NIV to say that Christ had an origin. It makes Christ a creature, and not God. Goings forth in KJV means that Christ always existed. "Of old" (qedmah in Hebrew, 6924) means eternal, everlasting and is used of Jehovah in Habakkuk 1:12, "Art thou not from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, mine Holy One?" "from everlasting" (olam in Hebrew, 5769) means eternity, always, time out of mind. 4. NIV omits FORNICATION from the sins listed with sodomy in Romans 1:29. NIV Romans 1:29 KJV They have become filled with Being filled with all every kind of wickedness, _____ unrighteousness OMIT _____ fornication, Evil _____ wickedness, Greed _____ covetousness, Depravity _____ maliciousness, They are full of envy _____ full of envy, Murder _____ murder.
