But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the Here, notice modern Bibles add the phrase “and purity of devotion

DO MODERN BIBLES REALLY READ EASIER? Author Gail Riplinger writes:
“Why does the NKJV use harder words than the KJV? The derivative copyright law insists that: ‘To be copyrightable, a derivative work must be different enough from
the original as to be regarded as a ‘new work’ or must contain a substantial amount of new material. Making minor changes or additions of little substance to a pre-
existing work will not qualify the work as a new version for copyright purposes.’ Therefore all new Bible versions must change those simple or two syllable Anglo-
Saxon words to complex Latinized words. Consequently the KJV reads at the 5th grade level and the NKJV reads at the 6th grade level. Because of this copyright law,
there will never be an easier to read Bible than the KJV.”
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN OF MODERN ENGLISH BIBLES (PREPARE TO BE SHOCKED!)
The 5,500-plus extant Greek New Testament manuscripts are generally categorized into two families: (1) the Antiochian Majority (Traditional) Text, and (2) the
Alexandrian Minority (Critical) Text. These two manuscript families have disagreed with one another for at least 1,700 years now. Most Greek N. T. manuscripts—
about 99.9 percent of them—have readings that agree with one another (forming the Antiochian Traditional Text). Only 45 manuscripts—or less than one percent of all
existing Greek N. T. manuscripts—form the Alexandrian Critical Text. These Alexandrian manuscripts not only disagree with the Antiochian Traditional Text, but
they also starkly disagree with each other! (The two primary Alexandrian manuscripts, Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, disagree with each other over 3,000
times—in the Four Gospels alone!) The King James Bible is based on the Antiochian Traditional Text whereas most modern Bibles use the Alexandrian Minority
Text as their source. To wit, most Greek N. T. manuscripts agree with the KJB, while only a handful support the readings in modern Bibles.
From 1611-1881, or 270 years, the Authorized Version King James Bible served English-speaking Christians. It was the final English Bible based on the
aforementioned and God-breathed and divinely preserved Antiochian Greek New Testament (the “received text,” or Textus Receptus). Two apostate Cambridge
professors and textual critics, B. F. Westcott and F. J. A. Hort, had long despised the KJB’s Protestant readings. Beginning in 1853, they initiated a joint revision of the
Greek New Testament (they used the aforesaid corrupt, pro-Roman Catholic, Alexandrian Critical Text to create their 1881 Westcott-Hort Greek N. T.).
In 1870, the Church of England convened and proposed a “revision” of the KJB. Westcott and Hort saw opportunity to corrupt this new Bible, so they submitted their
anti-KJB, pro-Catholic, corrupt Westcott-Hort text to the Revision Committee. The resulting English Bible, the English Revised Version New Testament, was released
in 1881. Although the Revised Version was supposed to be a “revision” of the KJB, it was a blatant corruption—it was based on a different Greek text (it was based on
the Westcott-Hort text, itself being based on the Alexandrian text, the corrupt readings that Bible-believing Christians had rejected for the past 1,500-plus years!).
Twenty years later, in 1901, the American Standard Version was published. Since then, over 200 modern English Bibles have been released (paraphrases, revisions of
revisions, paraphrases of revisions, etc.). Copyrights = $$$!
Circa 1900, textual critic Eberhard Nestle revised the Westcott-Hort text to produce his Greek N. T. In the 1950s, textual critic Kurt Aland began editing Nestle’s text
to create the Nestle-Aland Greek text. The United Bible Society (UBS) Greek text is nearly identical to the Nestle-Aland text. These corrupt texts (UBS & Nestle-
Aland) are utilized to make the New Testament of most modern Bibles (NIV, NASB, ESV, HCSB, NRSV, NLT, CEV, RSV, TEV/GNB, New Scofield, portions/footnotes
of NKJV, etc.). The KJB and modern Bibles read differently because they are based on opposing manuscripts!
If modern Bibles are corrupt, why are they so popular? Most seminaries and Bible colleges teach that the Westcott-Hort Greek is “closer to the original
apostolic manuscripts” than the King James’ Greek. They claim that modern Bibles are “more scholarly” and “better translated” than the King James Bible. What lies!
The graduates of these colleges (pastors, modern Bible translators, etc.) then perpetuate the deception by encouraging the common unsuspecting church members to
reject/doubt the King James Bible and believe the readings found in modern Bibles.
**Please share this information with others. Most church members and Christians know little to nothing about this matter.**

God’s preserved Word in the English language is the 1611 King James Bible—trust it alone.
