“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him” (Proverbs 30:5).
“. . . and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?” Why, here it is in verse 5, “The Word of God.” John 1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (verses 1-2).
“Every word of God is pure: HE . . .,” Look! He, referring to the Word of God . . . “HE! You see? This Bible is more alive than you ever thought. It has a personality. It is said to be a “HE!” In fact, so much so, that in Hebrews chapter 4 says:
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:12-13).
Especially note, “. . . neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight.” Whose sight? The Word of God’s sight. The Bible can see you over there ignoring it. The Bible says that all things are upheld by the word of his power (Hebrews 1:3).
“Every Word of God is pure,” now that will match Psalm 12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
“Every word of God is pure,” so, you know what impure men will do? They will be trying to change it, just as Jeremiah prophesied against the false prophets, that they would do this very thing.
“Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour” (Jeremiah 23:30).
Every translation on the market is guilty of that, stealing the words of God from his neighbor. Someone will say, “But, these Bible translators are doing good!” No, they are a bunch of thieves. Jeremiah says that they are a bunch of thieves. You really have to come to this conclusion: either all the new Bibles are the word of God and the King James Bible added a bunch of words, or the King James Bible is the word of God and all that revisionist crowd took away from the word of God. And that ain’t hard to figure out.
Not only do they take away words, but they take away basic doctrines, and you know God isn't involved with that. Not only that, they take away the names of God out of the New Testament and you know that the Holy Spirit would never do that. The Holy Spirit would never take His own name out of Bible 200 times, and every new Bible on the market takes out names of deity in the New Testament to the tune of 200 places.
My Bible says that when the Holy Spirit comes, He will glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, not bring Him down by taking his name out of the Book.
And then the warning in verse 6: “Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
“. . . lest he reprove thee,” now, that’s what they don't like. These guys that write these new Bibles don't like to be reproved, “lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
So, the new translations are produced by liars and thieves. The Bible tells us that Hell is going to be a place for thieves and liars.
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
