Changing the Word

Amazing Discoveries

Total OnslaughtLecture Outline #214

(part 1, 2, & 3)

1.What is the warning that God gives for anyone who adds or

takes away from his word?

Revelation 22:18-19, “For I testify unto every man that heareth

the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add

unto these things, God shall add unto him ___ _________ thatare written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of

this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the _______

___ _____, and out of the holy city, and from the things which

are written in this book.”

NOTE: We have seen these verses before, and God takes very

seriously the intentional tampering with His Word.

2.How many verse are affected in the modern versions of the

Bible?

ANSWER: NASB > 909; RV > 788; NWT > 767; NIV > 695;

Good News Bible > 614; Amplified Version > 484; Douay 421;

Old Jehovah’s Witnesses Bible > 104; NKJV > 1200

NOTE: It is interesting that the Old Jehovah’s Witnesses Bible

has far more less changes that all of the Modern Versions of

the Bible.

3.What were some of the changes in the early 1900’s to the

Jehovah’s Witness Bible?

ANSWER: Matthew 16:3, Mark 9:46, Mark 16:9-20, John 8:1-11, Acts 8:37, 1 John 5:7, are all omitted.

John 1:1, “In the beginning the Word was , and the Word was

with God, and the Word was a god.” (NWT)

John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was

with God, and the Word was God.” (KJV)

4.What were reactions like from some during the late 1880’sabout all these changes to the Word of God?

ANSWER: “By the sole authority of textual criticism these men

have dared to vote away some forty verses of the inspired

Word. The Eunuch’s Baptismal Profession of Faith is gone; and

the Angel of the Pool of Bethesda has vanished; but the Angel

of the Agony remains – till the next Revision. The Heavenly Witnesses have departed, and no marginal note mourns their

loss. The last twelve verses of St. Mark are detached from the

rest of the Gospel, as if ready for removal as soon as Dean

Burgon dies. The account of the woman taken in adultery is

placed in brackets, awaiting excision. Many other passages

have a mark set against them in the margin, to show that

like forest trees, they are shortly destined for the critic’s axe.

Who can tell when the destruction will cease?” That was in1881, when they had just started revising the Bible. Isn’t that

incredible?” Dublin Review, 1881

NOTE: That was in 1881, when they had just started revising

the Bible. Isn’t that incredible? This was early on, when only

forty some odd verses were affected. Today we have Bibles

with hundreds and hundreds of changes!

5.What do modern scholars have to say about the Textus

Receptus?

ANSEWR: When Eberhard Nestle, in 1898, presented the first



4

edition of Novum Testamentum Graece, he had achieved a

work of which the consequences were not only unknown to

him at the time, but also to the Wurtenberg Bible Society that

made the edition possible. “If the Textus receptus at that timestill had a number of defenders, the science, the science of the

19th century had however, finally proved it to be the worst

text of the New Testament. There the editions of Tischendorf,

finalized…Westcott and Hort who came in 1881, controlled

the field. But in practiced terms at the level of university, church

and school, the edition of the Textus receptus was still largely

used internationally as for example by the British Bible Society

till 1904. Only with the release of the Nestle text did the rule of

the Textus receptus come to an end here also.”

NOTE: Irrespective of the changes, the British didn’t give in that

easily. So the Bible, the Textus receptus, that had stood the test

of time until 1900, was now suddenly the worst text available,

according to them.

6.Who was Origen?

ANSWER: “The received text (textus recepticus) is the Byzantine

text with hundreds of copies in agreement. It was written in

koine Greek, written in koine Greek of which hundreds of words

cannot be translated into classical Greek. The early Church

used koine Greek manuscripts and rejected the Alexandrian

versions which were based on the corrupt version with Origenand other Gnostic revisions.”

“Origen taught that Jesus was a created being who did not

have eternal existence as God.” (Encyclopedia Britannica,

Volume 16, 1936, pg, 900-902)

NOTE: So that’s the basis. If you want to have an ecumenicalBible, you have to remove Jesus Christ as the sole Savior and as

God. It has to be done.

7.What did Albert Pike, write in Morals and Dogma concerning



5

Origen?

ANSWER: “This doctrine of transmigration of souls

(reincarnation), obtained, as Porphyry informs us, among thePersians and the Magi. It was held in the East and the West and

that from the remotest antiquity. Herodotus found it among

the Egyptians, who made the term the circle of migrations

from one human body, through animals, fishes, and birds, to

another human body three thousand years…The Curds, The

Chinese, the Kabbalists, all held the same doctrine. So Origen

held, and the Bishop Synesius, the latter of whom had been

initiated, and who thus prayed to God: “O Father, grant that

my soul, reunited to the light, may not be plunged again into

the defilements of earth!” “So the Gnostics held, and even the

Disciples of Christ, inquired if the man who was born blind, was

not so punished for some sin that he had committed before his

birth.” Morals & Dogma, pg. 399

NOTE: Now that’s typical how Freemasons distort the Word.Did the disciples enquire that? Let’s ask them. John 9:2, “And

the disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or

his parents, that he was born blind?” Not “this man in this life”

or in his previous life, or his parents. So, you know, everything is

a distortion, you cannot trust anything these people say.

“Born A.D. 134, answering Celsus, who had objected that the

Christians had a concealed doctrine said, ‘Inasmuch as theessential and important doctrines and principles of Christianity

are openly taught, it is foolish to object that there are other

things that are recondite;’” ‘for this is common to Christian

discipline with that of those philosophers in whose teaching

some things are exoteric,’ and some esoteric.’ And it is enough

to say that it was so for the disciples of Pythagoras.’” Morals &

Dogma, pg. 544

NOTE: So here he’s talking about initiation, about insiders

being initiated. So Origen believed in two doctrines. One for

the outside and one for the inside. So he was an occultist.



6

“Origen gives much information as to the Mysteries of the

Ophites; and there is no doubt all the Gnostic sects had

Mysteries and an initiation. They all claimed to possess a secretdoctrine, coming to them directly from Jesus Christ, different

from that of the Gospels and Epistles, and superior to those

communications, and superior, which in their eyes, were merely

exoteric.”

Morals & Dogma, pg. 542

NOTE: So, it is very obvious that Origen in Secret Orders and

propagated two doctrines one for the outsiders, “the cattle,”

and one for the super-intelligent illuminated insiders.

8.Did Jesus believe in secrecy?

Matthew 13:35, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken

by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will

_____ things ______ ______ been ______ ________ from thefoundation of the world.”

NOTE: The work of Jesus was to reveal not to hide and

conceal.

9.What else does the Bible have to say about secret

initiations?

Isaiah 45:19, “I have not spoken in _______, in a _____ place

of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in

vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are

right.”

Isaiah 48:16, “Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not

_______ ___ _______ from the beginning; from the time thatit was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath

sent me.”

Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he _____

__ his _______ unto his servants the prophets.”



8

NOTE: We know very clearly from the Bible that David killed

Goliath, not Elhanan.

2 Samuel 23:5, “Is not my house right with God?” (NIV)2 Samuel 23:5, “Although my house be not so with God;”

(KJV)

NOTE: They turned the verse here around. Opposite of its

intended meaning.

Hosea 11:12, “And Judah is unruly against God, even against

the faithful Holy One.” (NIV)

Hosea 11:12 > “but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful

with the saints.” (KJV)

NOTE: You see, God had said Ephraim has left me, Israel has

left me, but Judah is still with me. Satan does like that so he

says that all of them were against God. That’s a little change,

you know, it’s minor, yet it’s quite important. You’re either withGod or you’re against God.

Matthew 5:44, “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray

for those who persecute you,” (RSV)

Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless

them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and

pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

(KJV)

NOTE: Over half of the verse is removed here.

Matthew 18:11, “For the Son of man has come to save that

which is lost.” (KJV)

Omitted: (RSV), (NIV) (put in the footnotes)

NOTE: Don’t you think that’s an important text? I think it’s

a very important text. Why is it gone in the Revised Standard

Version? Because is not supposed to be the only Savior. We’re

supposed to be able to save ourselves, doesn’t Masonry teach



9

us that? It teaches that we don’t need Jesus.

Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first and the first last.”

(RSV)Matthew 20:16, “So the last shall be first, and the first last; for

many be called, but few are chosen.” (KJV)

NOTE: Here it makes a difference. Here it is important to

choose, to choose right.

Matthew 20:22,23, “You don’t know what you are asking,”

Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to

drink?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will

indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or let is not for

me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have

been prepared by my Father.” (NIV)

Matthew 20:22, 23, “But Jesus answered and said, Ye know

not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink

of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and

be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to

sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it

shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.”

(KJV)

NOTE: Here the suffering that the Christian sometimes has toendure for the sake of Christ is removed.

Matthew 25:13, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the

day nor the hour.” (RSV)

Matthew 25:13, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not

know the day or the hour.” (NIV)

Matthew 25:13, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” (KJV)

NOTE: Here the KJV is the only logical option. The RSV and NIV

are both so ambiguous it could be spiritualized into meaning

anything you would want it to mean.



10

Mark 2:17, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

(RSV)

Mark 2:17, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners.”

(NIV)

Mark 2:17, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners

to repentance.” (KJV)

NOTE: In the King James, Jesus is calling sinners to something,

to repentance. In the others, he is just calling them. He could

be calling them to do anything.

Mark 6:11, “And if any place will not receive you and they refuse

to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your

feet for a testimony against them.” (RSV)

Mark 6:11, “And whosever shall not receive you, nor hear you,

when you depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for

a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be moretolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,

than for that city.”

NOTE: Why do you think that verse has been removed? Why

do you think they’ve removed the verse that says it will be

more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha? Because they do not

believe in a judgment.

Mark 10:21, “and come, follow me.” (RSV)

Mark 10:21, “then come, follow me.” (NIV)

Mark 10:21, “and come, follow me.” (ASV)

Mark 10:21, “and come, take up the cross, and follow me.”

(KJV)

NOTE: What’s the difference between those two? There is across to bear when you become a Christian. There is a change

in life and there is a cross to bear, and that is Christianity.

Mark 10:24, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of



11

God!” (RSV)

Mark 10:24, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom

of God.” (NIV)

Mark 10:24, “Children, how hard it is for them that trust inriches to enter the kingdom of God!” (KJV)

NOTE: What’s the difference between those too? Well here,

you might as well give up from the beginning and reincarnate a

few times. Here, better not get rich, better give all your money

away. Here? Money’s not the problem, it’s making an idol of

money that’s the problem. You can be rich, and you can do a

lot of good for the Lord God. So, the King James in the only

here that makes any sense.

Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace

among men with who he is pleased!” (RSV)

Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,

good will toward men.” (KJV)

NOTE: Now what’s the difference between those two? It’s

a very subtle change, but what is the change? Here there is

an initiated few with whom he is pleased. There, God is for

everyone. You will notice that in all these changes to character

of God is expressly attacked. So, it is more than just a few

words changed and jumbled around, but it is a direct assault

on the character of God.

Luke 4:4, “And Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, Man shall not

live by bread alone.’” (RSV)

Luke 4:4, “Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man does not live by

bread alone.’” (NIV)

Luke 4:4, “And Jesus answered him saying, It is written, That

man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”

NOTE: It is fairly obvious why this change was made.

2 Timothy 3:16, “Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable

for teaching.” (ASV)



14

NOTE: In the first one there is no obedience implied, not even

a mention of the commandments of God. In the second one,

the commandments seem to be the focal point of the entire

verse. Which one do you think is the most logical?

Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answering him said to him, It is written,

Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou

serve.” (Douay)

Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answered him, It is written, You shall

worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.”

(RSV)

Luke 4:8, “Jesus answered, It is written. Worship the Lord your

God and serve him only.” (NIV)

Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee

behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord

thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

NOTE: All of them leave something out. What do they leave

out? “Get ye behind me, Satan.” Why do they leave thatout? The expression, “get thee behind me, Satan,” was early

omitted because Jesus used the same expression later to Peter,

in Matthew 16:23, to rebuke the apostle.

They wouldn’t want the same spirit to be confused because

this has something to do with the doctrine of Peter eventually

becoming a Pope. It’s quite a complex issue but there’s a good

reason why they took it out.

SABBATH

Acts 13:42, “And as they went out, they desired them that on

the next Sabbath they would speak unto them these words.”

(Douay)

Acts 13:42, “As they went out, the people begged that these

things might be told them the next Sabbath.” (RSV) Acts 13:42, , “As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,

the people invited them to speak further about these things on

the next Sabbath.” (NIV)

Acts 13:42, “And when the Jews were gone out of the



15

synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be

preached to them the next Sabbath.” (KJV)

NOTE: You see, in the King James, it says, “and when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue.” What does that mean? It

means that he was preaching to the Jews, and then the Gentiles

came and said, “Will you preach this to us next Sabbath?” That

means that the Gentiles were willing to come on the Sabbath.

Now, if you take the Jews out there, then it’s not Saturday

necessarily. If it’s just “they” it could be an ecumenical meeting

and Sabbath could be any day. But linking it to the Jews it

would definitely be Saturday.

ATTACK ON PROTESTANTISM

John 5:39 , “You search the scriptures, because you think that

in them you have eternal life…” (RSV)

John 5:39, “You diligently study the Scriptures because you

think that by them you possess eternal life…” (NIV)

John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye haveeternal life…” (KJV)

NOTE: On this point the Dublin Review, notice this, a Catholic

newspaper or article, July 1881, says the following, “But perhaps

the most surprising change of all is John 5:39. It is no longer

‘Search the Scriptures,’ but ‘Ye search,’ and thus Protestantism

has lost the very cause of its being.”

PURGATORY

Luke 1:72, “To show mercy to our fathers.” (RSV, NIV)

Luke 1:72, “To perform the mercy promised to our fathers”

(KJV)

NOTE: Now they can show mercy to the fathers which

suggests that we can pray to the dead. Can I pray to the dead? Apparently yes with the RSV & NIV.

1 Peter 4:6, “For this is why the gospel was preached even to

the dead…” (RSV)



16

1 Peter 4:6, “For this is the reason the gospel was preached

even to those who are now dead.” (NIV)

1 Peter 4:6, “For this cause was the gospel preached also to

them that are dead…” (KJV)

NOTE: Now, what does that mean? Well here, in the King

James, was the gospel preached to those who are dead? Sure!

In the past, the gospel was preached to those who are dead

now. Here, in the other translations, it is still being preached to

the dead.

Job 26:5,“They (‘the shades’ margin) that are deceased tremble

beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.”

Job 26:5, “The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the

waters and all that live in them.” (NIV)

Job 26:5, “Dead things are formed from under the waters, and

the inhabitants thereof.” (KJV)

NOTE: Here we see purgatory in the newer versions.

2 Peter 2:9, “…unrighteous for the day of judgment, while

continuing their punishment.” (NIV)

2 Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out

of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of

judgment to be punished.” (KJV)

NOTE: In the King James, the punishment is a future act. Inthe NIV, the punishment is an act in the present.

THE DIRECT ATTACK ON JESUS CHRIST

Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.

Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and

shall call his name Immanuel.” (RSV)Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his

name Immanuel.” (KJV)



18

1 Timothy 3:16, “Beyond all question, the mystery on godliness

is great: He appeared in a body.” (NIV)

1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery

of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,” (KJV)

NOTE: Do you see how they systematically reduce Jesus, and

how they take him out of the gospels? It’s a shame, it’s a

crying shame.

11.What should we do with Jesus?

1 Kings 18:21, “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said,

How long halt ye between ___ _________? If the LORD be

God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people

answered him not a word.”

MY DECISION FOR JESUS…

I understand that I am not saved by a Bible Version, and I also

understand that the King James Version isn’t the only version

I can use, but I am now aware of some of the changes in the

NIV and RSV. I realize that I need to study closer, and make

sure that these things are so. Do you wish to covenant with

God for regular Bible study and prayer? Yes or No
