“A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies” (Proverbs 14:5).
“A faithful witness will not lie,” a faithful witness goes by the “faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). This is the body of revealed truth, which was given to the church, the decrees which they were to keep and so the church was established in truth, according to the Book of Acts. Our Bible is what we place trust in, and the person that witnesses according to this Book is a faithful witness. You cannot take a King James Bible and teach heresy with it if you believe it just as it says, in its proper context where its stated and it is rightly divided.
That is the problem with all these new Bibles. They change the text just enough to where one can teach heresy in the context. They changed the Bible, and they have not respected the Word of God. You can’t teach heresy when you are faithful not to “handle the Word of God deceitfully” (II Corinthians 4:2). “A faithful witness will not lie.” You can’t teach heresy believing the Bible, just what it says.
So, if a man is full of faith, and the Bible says that “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God,” and you are willing to practice and live your faith, you’ll be a true witness and a good “ambassador of Jesus Christ.”
“. . . but a false witness will utter lies,” there’s your Jehovah’s witness, or your Mormons—they utter lies, they are false witnesses. One says that Jesus is not God, the other says that Jesus and Satan are brothers. They didn’t get that out of a King James Bible, even though they might carry one around. The Mormon does anyway, the JW’s have their own concocted Bible.
To some people a verse is literal only when it suits their purposes, but if there is a verse that disagrees with them, they claim that it is spiritual. Who determines whether it is literal or spiritual? “The scholars?” They have no foundation for what they believe, they have no personal knowledge of the Scripture—they just believe what someone has told them to believe. They believe and teach whatever their professor, “Dear old Doctor Bible Corrector” has told them to believe.
