To Lockeliberty-Where to begin!? The 'New' King James is one of the most deceitful 'bibles' created. It purports to use the TR (as the best text) but then 'sneaks' in critical readings which are not TR readings. One example, check out Matt.6:13, 'and lead us not into temptation, but deliever us from evil' The NKJ and all 'new' versions have 'evil one'-any basis in the Greek-none-the Greek word is a neuter gender.

They leave out the word 'study' in 2Tim 2:15,

Put in the word 'servant' instead of 'child' in Acts 4:27-30

Make the usual Alexanderian attacks in 1Tim.610-the love of money is the root of all evil, not 'all kinds of evil' 1Tim.6:20 the King James has 'science' instead of the 'New'King whatever 'knowledge'

There are about 25 of these 'Alexanderian' readings in the text, with no warning given to the reader that they are NOT King James reading.

Yet, when they do stick to the TR text as opposed to the Nestles/UBS reading, they are sure to footnote that the Nestles/UBS reading is such and such, thereby casting doubt on the TR reading.

Regarding texts, the King James was electic, using mostly Tyndale readings after comparing the translations (including the Douey-Rheims which had the Alexanderain readings in it). The Greek text that most closely resembles the King James is Beza'a 5th edition.

Scrivener' has an 'Annotated Greek NT' which has the Critical text readings listed at the bottom so you can compare them with the TR.

Erasmus was one the greatest geniuses of his day. He had access to any manuscripts he wanted and chose to only use the TR manuscripts. He was well aware of Rome's history of forging documents. Luthers work was largely from Erasumus.

All of this denies one factor, God the Holy Spirit guiding the work, preserving the words that He had given. (Psa.12:6-7). This is the fact that the critics want to leave out when discussing the issue.

How do we know that the King James IS the words of God-check out its fruit!

With the junk being produced today and called 'bibles' do you see any of them producing anything like the missionary work, the revivals, the change in peoples lives?

What these bible makers ($$$$) want you to think is that you should be comparing the various translations so you can make up YOUR mind which is right-no final authority but ones' own opinion!

If the bible has 'new' on it, reject it out of hand-(Jer.6:16)

If anyone wants any more information on this, I would be happy to send them a couple of pamphlets, free of charge. There are three works that I would highly recommend, Riplingers New Age Versions, which shows the spiritual issues involved, Which Version is my Bible by Floyd Jones and for the Greek scholars the best work is 'The Corruption Of The Word, (The Failure of Modern New Testament Scholarship) by Kevin James. He lays out everything in black and white and unmasks the deceptive nature of the critical text.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.
