Bible Rhetoric Changes
God's word is no longer God's words, but parts of it have been replaced
with man's words with changes in meaning accompanying these changes. The
new NIV bibles are the worst offenders. This page attempts to reveal these
changes.
Word
List for the King James Bible
Compiled

The
King James Bible is often criticized because some of the words found in it are
words not in common use today. Though these words are relatively few in number
and can be readily defined in any good dictionary, many new versions have been
published in recent years claiming to “update” the AV’s language. Along
with updating the language, however, the new “Bibles” make many other more
serious changes. They omit or strongly question many verses; deny Jesus
Christ’s deity, virgin birth, blood atonement, and ascension in several places
and question or destroy many other precious truths. If one will compare the
“archaic” KJV with any of the new translations, he will find the new
versions are not updated “Bibles” at all; they are corrupted Bibles.
Of
the 8000 different words found in the KJV, only 300 or so could be considered
“archaic” or changed in their meaning; less than 4%. Furthermore, many of
these words are only found once in the KJ text. There may be a few other words
that some readers may not understand that are not archaic, but this is what
dictionaries are for. Even in the corrupt new versions there are words many need
to have defined. God has used the KJV more than He has used any other Bible in
any language (including the originals!), thus it is not the place of man to
change any of its words. Its text must be left as it stands.
Below
we have compiled many of the older words from the KJV along with a brief
definition and a biblical reference.

Where can I order a King James Bible conformable to the edition of 1611?
You can get a King James Version Keystone Giant Print Bible through CBD
(Christian Book Distributors) for about $15 ($20 in a Christian bookstore).
The CBD website is www.christianbook.com.
This Giant Print Bible is about 11" x 8" and is very comfortable
to read. What I love is NO CROSS REFERENCES AND NO IN-TEXT DEFINITIONS! I
like for the Holy Ghost to show me the cross-references and in-text
definitions oftentimes agree with new Bible perversions. The ISBN number is
0-8340-0350-3.
IBS (International Bible Society) publishes a cheap hardback pew Bible for
under $6. Most sell for twice as much. IBS publishes the NIV, but offers
KJBs. Please don't write telling me not to buy from IBS. If your conscience
is weak in this, don't buy from there. This a free market and I can buy
whatsoever is sold in the shambles without a problem to my conscience. Item
#335 - Black, $5.50, Item #335C is a case of 24 Bibles, $108.00. DOES NOT
INCLUDE SHIPPING. Call 1-800-524-1588 to order or visit their website--
| http://shop.gospelcom.net/cgi-bin/IBSDirect.storefront/ We give away lots of Bibles and this is an economical way to give a
sturdy Bible to a new convert. I also purchase Oxford and Cambridge editions of the King James Bible. The
ones I have do not have cross-references or in-text definitions. You can get
a leather Cambridge edition for about $35 (and up) at www.avpublications.com.
I've ordered the $35 volume and if I order another it will be large print. | |
