    Does YOUR bible teach you to

    worship New Age gods?

    "Years and years previous to thissomeone had given me a little book about

    But the inconsistencies of the new Bible

    versions shocked Riplinger as she studiedthe text changes in the new Bible

    versions. As a college professor sheshared Jesus Christ with her college

    students when they came to her withtheir personal problems. Together theywould look up verses in the Bible to find

    answers to these problems. Often theywould use the student's new version

    Bible.

    To Riplinger's surprise she found over andover that the key elements of salvation,

    comfort and healing were missing fromthe verses in these new versions of theBible. She began to compare the KJV withthese new Bible versions and came faceto face with the fact that the new Bible

    versions' texts are changed toaccommodate all religions and their'gods,'

    thus changing theology and removing thetruth that will set people free.

    The KJV Retains This Teaching While Most Modern Versions Remove It

    written by Dr. John McTernan

    "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." John 1:18

    This is Part 1 of an article I wrote titled: Is Jesus of Nazareth the Only Begotten Son of God? This posting is the latestin my 100 day countdown to the 400 anniversary of the King James authorized version of the Bible. Hundreds andhundreds of translations have come and gone since 1611, yet the KJV remains. This is one of the proofs that it is the

    word of God revealed to the English speaking people.

    Many beliefs are common to Christianity, regardless of individual denominations. In fact, these beliefs are central

    elements and tenets of our faith in the Lord Jesus. To have assurance of an eternal life with God, these are the coredoctrines or beliefs: the virgin birth of Jesus of Nazareth, His death on the cross for sin, and His shed blood to pay thepenalty for sin. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus and His literal second coming are also critical beliefs. These

    doctrines are essential for eternal life. But there is one doctrine that all the others rest upon. It is the rock bottom,foundation of the Christian faith: Jesus of Nazareth is the only begotten Son of God. Without this core belief, all theothers are meaningless. Christianity stands upon the person of Jesus of Nazareth as the only begotten Son from

    eternity past and into the future forever. He is unique because He is the only begotten Son of God. Any tampering withthis doctrine touches the very foundation of our faith.

    The KJV teaches that Jesus is the only begotten son of God

    New Age Bible Versions by author GailRiplinger

    "Now we are seeing a parallel movewithin the new Bible versions where it's

    not Jehovah anymore its just'Lord.' It's

    not Jesus Christ it i s just'the Christ.' "Theyhave separated Christ from Jesus in thenew Bible versions because they want'theLord,''the Christ,''the One' and'the Spirit'

    rather than the personal identity of thehistoric God of the Old Testament which

    is Jehovah and the God of the NewTestament which is the Lord Jesus

    Christ."

    Riplinger points out that the new versionsremove Jesus Christ because, "The

    religions of the world believe that'god'created all things but not by Jesus Chri st."For New Agers, Jesus Christ is too narrow

    a definition of "god." The diff erent godsof all the world's religions fit neatly in the

    categories of the Lord, the Christ, the Oneand the Spirit. Therefore there is no need

    to proselytize people from other religionsbecause their'god' is really the same asyours and all these'gods' lead down the

    same "path" to heaven, don't they? John14:6 reminds us of the truth, "Jesus saith

    unto him, I am the way, the truth, andthe life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me."

    There are five key verses from the Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version (KJV), which show clearly that Jesus is

    the only begotten Son of God. These verses follow:

    And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the

    Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

    No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

    John 1:18

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but

    have everlasting life. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned

    already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16

    In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that wemight live through him. (Notice how He was sent into the world from eternity as the only begotten Son of God) 1 John4:9

    These verses reveal that the Lord Jesus was begotten of the Father. He was from the bosom of the Father. You mustbelieve on the name of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD for eternal life. He was sent into this world from heaven as

    the only begotten Son of God. Your eternal life depends on the belief that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Theimportance of this doctrine cannot be overstated.

    The Bible reveals God has other sons. For example, believers in Jesus are called the sons of God but through adoption.Adam was called the son of God. God gave the angels the title of the sons of God. Israel became God's son, andSolomon sat on the throne of Israel as the son of God. However, the Lord Jesus remains distinguished from all these

    sons of God. He is singular and unique as the only begotten Son of God with the Father from eternity. He has adifferent relationship with the Father. Any tampering with the Lord as the only begotten Son of God would just makeHim one of many sons of God in the Bible. A verse to show this follows:

    To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (6) And because ye are sons,God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:5

    Today the very foundation of our faith is under direct attack. Most of the modern Bible translations have altered thisdoctrine and shake the very foundation of Christianity. Unfortunately, this attempt to undermine our faith appears tobe largely ignored. The modern translations have replaced "only begotten" with words that change the person of theLord Jesus and thus the foundation of the faith.

    The NIV removes the teaching of the only begotten son of God

    The New International Version (NIV) is one of the most popular translations today. It has completely altered the "onlybegotten Son" to terms that are false or misleading. The NIV is typical of most of the modern translations. The termsnow used in place of "only begotten" are "One and Only" and "only Son." The verses from the NIV follow:

    John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and

    Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

    John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perishbut have eternal life.

    John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned alreadybecause he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

    1 John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live

    through him.

    What does "One and Only" mean? One and only what? The Lord Jesus is not God's only Son: this is false as God hasmany sons. He is God's only begotten Son and thus unique. It is obvious that the modern translations have tamperedwith the very foundation of Christianity. Using the NIV, you cannot even prove that the Lord Jesus is the only begotten

    Son of God! Therefore, the NIV fails to substantiate the very foundation of the faith. The NIV and most moderntranslations are leading people away from the foundation of the faith! It is a subtle but diabolic shift away from historicChristianity towards a generic Jesus that can fit in nicely with other beliefs.

    In John 1:14,18 the words "begotten and Son" are left out, while John 3:16,18 and 1 John 4:9 are false as theyremove "only begotten" and say "God's only Son." These translations are illegitimate. The modern versions have to be

    rejected as they are deficient and lack the ability to even prove the very foundation of the faith. These translations areleading believers away from the true person of the Lord Jesus.

    If you have the NIV, then you DON'T have the only begotten son of God.

    Is Jesus of Nazareth The Only Begotten Son of God? - Part 2

    The KJV Retains This Teaching While Most Modern Versions Remove It

    written by Dr. John McTernan

    Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root andthe offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

    Lucifer is not the 'bright and morning star'

    Part Two of my article. Most of the modern translations make a second outrageous error. just as egregious as

    tampering with the Lord Jesus being the only begotten Son of God. In Isaiah 14;12, the KJV accurately reports thatLucifer fell from heaven. Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut

    down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! This is the only verse in the Bible that identifies Lucifer by name.

    The word Lucifer in Hebrew means "light bearer".

    Contrary to what the modern versions teach, Lucifer is not the "morning star".

    Everything in this verse fits together nicely for the reader. Lucifer was in heaven and fell when he sinned and the LORDhas cut him down. With an unbelievable slight of hand the modern translations removed Lucifer and replaced him with

    "Morning star"!

    The problem with this is that "Morning star" is a title for the Lord Jesus! How is it that Lucifer is out in the modern

    translations while he is replaced with the "Morning star?" Morning star being one of the titles for the Lord Jesus. He isthe bright and Morning star! The new translations remove Lucifer and replace him with a title for the only begotten Sonof God! Lucifer is out of the Bible while the Morning star is the who fell from heaven.

    It does not get any worse than this! Another way of looking at this is Lucifer is now given a title that belongs to theLord Jesus Christ. The following are the verses together so you can with your own eyes the slight of hand in many of

    the new translations:

    Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground,

    which didst weaken the nations! (KJV)

    Isaiah 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! (NIV)

    Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am ... the brightand morning star. (KJV)

    I have a feeling, that the LORD is not happy with translations that remove Lucifer and replace him with the Lord Jesus.I was looking at a NASB that actually had Revelation 22:16 linked to Isaiah 14:12!

    There are numerous other errors in these modern translations, but these two errors, removing only begotten andLucifer, alone are enough to reject them. The additional errors include eliminating paragraphs and entire sentences;

    removing words which change the meaning of verses; and notes which challenge the authority of the Bible.

    The notes usually say something to the effect, the oldest manuscripts do not contain this verse. It is time the true

    believers come back to God's word in English, the KJV.

    We must stop using these dangerous translations. Pastors should reject them and not teach from them. Seminaries

    and colleges need to be challenged as to why they promote these false translations. Why is the church so silent asLucifer is setting up shop in the modern translation!

    How can God's anointing be on translations of the Bible that tamper with the Lord Jesus being the only begotten Son ofGod and then remove Lucifer and replace him with a title for the Lord Jesus? This is the major reason why so manyChristians today are powerless. The power lies in the King James Bible

    The KJV Retains This Teaching While Most Modern Versions Remove It

    written by Dr. John McTernan

    Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hathsent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set atliberty them that are bruised,

    The Lord Jesus Came to Heal the Brokenhearted

    Part Three of my article. Spiritual power hemorrhages from believers as they read these new translations. They canlack both inner spiritual power as well as the proper Scriptures needed to defend the faith. An example of this is found

    in Luke 4:18. Millions of people suffer from a broken-heart. Something happened to them that wounded their spirit and

    broke their heart. This broken-heart can wreck havoc in their life. They can lead defeated lives without victory. Peoplewith a broken-heart can cover this over and try to forget and bury what caused it, but the damage caused by a broken-heart never goes away until it is healed by God's Holy Spirit. Luke 4:18 is the exact verse for such a person; however it

    is only found in the King James Bible!

    Jesus came to save, and to heal the brokenhearted. Does YOUR bible teach that?

    When I minister to someone who I sense has a broken-heart, I take them immediately to Luke 4:18. I read the verse

    and ask them if they have a broken-heart. In all my years of ministry, when I share this verse, everyone said yes. Theperson always knows both how and when their heart was broken. It is always clear to them like it happened yesterday.Sometimes they are overwhelmed and feel they can never be freed. I always assure them from Luke 4:18 that the

    ministry of the Lord Jesus was to heal them. The exact words of this verse "He hath sent me to heal thebrokenhearted" is a healing balm to these people and instantly gives them hope.

    A broken-heart means that it is shattered and splintered. The heart is the spiritual core of a person and this shatteringis what is the cause of so many problems. The Holy Spirit ministers by healing the heart and making it whole. Whenthe heart is healed, great strength and spiritual power flows from the heart and the person now lives in victory. I have

    seen many people instantly healed of a broken heart as we prayed, and they were set free in the name of Jesus. Themodern translations removed brokenhearted from the verse! Luke 4:18 is the only verse in the New Testament whichcontains the word brokenhearted. The following, for comparison, is Luke 4:18 in the King James Version and the New

    International Version:

    Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath

    sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, toset at liberty them that are bruised KJV

    Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has

    sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free NIV

    The Holy Spirit would never remove "He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted" from the Bible, but this is exactlywhat the modern translations did! This is horrifying to me as it is such a subtle yet bold and blatant satanic attack on

    the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ! I know the power of Luke 4:18, as I have used it over and over again and

    witnessed the results in people's lives. This is a reason why I say the modern translations steal power out of Christians'lives. The modern translations are subtly designed to do this. It is beyond obvious that God's Holy Spirit would not be apart of a translation that allow this. Look at what the modern translations have done. They have eliminated that the

    Lord Jesus is the only begotten Son of God which is the very foundation of Christianity; they have removed Lucifer andreplaced Him with a title for the Lord Jesus; and then they removed brokenhearted to steal power from believers liveswho desperately need to know the Lord came to heal them. These three issues alone should send people fleeing from

    the modern translation and back to the King James which contains God's truth and power.

    After reading this article, if you realize that you suffer from a broken-heart you can be healed by God's Holy Spirit. All

    you need to do is bring before the LORD that your heart is broken and ask the Father to heal it in the name of Jesus.The Lord came to heal the brokenhearted, and you can ask in assurance because it is in His word as revealed in theKJV. I have witnessed dozens upon dozens of people healed of a broken-heart and set free. The very same can happen

    to you. The Bible warns that even in the apostle's day there were people who would corrupt the word of God. Today,the corruption seems to be without bounds. We have to guard against those who alter God's word and stand againstthis. We cannot sit by and let the foundation of the faith be washed away. We need to stand against this subtle attack

    on God's word: "For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God..." 2Corinthians 2:17.

    Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write

    unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
