Greetings brothers and sisters,
I would like to publically apologize to watchmanjim and MissusMack08 if I, in any way seemed argumentative in This Thread.
That was not my intent, although looking back we did seem to hijack the thread.
I should preface by saying I am not a scholar, or a prophet, a pastor, or a priest, I am simply a servant, a watchman, a friend, a son of the Most High God.
I read and study the KJB using the Septuagint and the original Hebrew text with the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. I pray continually that the Lord would make me as though I were a sponge, soaking up the living waters of His written, breathing word. I do realize that the Hebrew and especially the Greek languages have more than one meaning for many words, but, we as berean's must keep things in context. 2Ti 2:15
The bible was translated into English by William Tyndale (Who was hung and burned on a stake at the hands of the Roman Catholic Church) sorry if your Catholic, using the Textus Receptus which included some of the earliest manuscripts of the original Greek texts (Koine Greek) through which we have the Septuagint (LXX ).
William Tyndale was not the first to translate the bible into English, but, it is believed that he had the most influence on King James VI, who in 1604 AD commissioned 47 scholars to translate the 39 books of the Old Testament, 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament into English for the Church of England. The works were completed in 1611 AD hence the 1611 version of the KJV.
In my opinion this is the purest and most accurate English version of the inspired word of God today. Now I am not saying that other translations are completely wrong but most are just because there are so many now and the NIV is the worst of them. It’s not that they change “A” word, but, a particular word/words in a passage which would change the entire context of what God was saying.
In the NIV alone they have changed over 3000 “particular” words and in some cases removed entire verses form a passage changing the context of what’s being said, leading to confusion among the believers in Christ. Now if you had come to know Yeshua through studying in the NIV then that is wonderful and praise the Lord!
Satan has been hard at work since… Eve? And still today he is in our pulpits, or pews, and in our “Cemetery” Schools (Seminary) where to many of our members come out only to teach the traditions of “men”. And you say “How do you know this?” and I tell you, when they stand up on their pulpit and say, “no man knows the day or the hour” or “the bible doesn’t teach about a rapture” and taking things out of context…. Saying the rapture is a new teaching (hahaha), these are the traditions of men.
Is it funny? No, and these are some of the lost sheep Yeshua seeks to find and the ones Satan seeks to devoir.
Wow I do apologize I seem to be rambling. Did I mention I wasn’t a preacher or pastor? And yes I know my English writing skills stink please forgive me. I didn’t like English when I was in HS and always tried to get my girlfriend to do it for me. But I did have a crush on my English teacher,,,,, I digress, that’s another story.
In the end it doesn’t really matter as long as we’re focused on Yeshua and the atonement He made on our behalf so that we might not see the “second death”. I wanted to reply to MissusMack08 last reply to me, but I seem to have written a book already so I will spare y’all.
With all Love and Humility your brother in Christ….
