This generation has a hunger for perversion. What was perversion just
a few years ago, is now "normal". What was "hiding" in the closet is now
"parading" in our streets.
Perversion has found a welcome home - from
the living room, to the White House; from our churches - to even the
word of God!
Our friend Webster, defines "pervert" as 1. to cause to turn
aside or away from what is good or true... 2. to twist the meaning or sense
of: misinterpret (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1977, p.856).
A perfect definition of The New International Version (NIV): "to
cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true" and "to twist
the meaning or sense of". If you doubt that, before you start reading
this tract - get the NIV and check it as you read this tract!
The NIV perverts the deity of
Jesus Christ!
I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming that
Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, "And without
controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE
FLESH. . ." The King James says,
plainly, "GOD
was manifest in the flesh". The NIV reads, "HE appeared in
a body". The NIV "twists" "GOD" to "HE".
"HE appeared
in a body"? So What? Everyone has "appeared in a body"! "He" is
a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent.
There is no antecedent
in the context! The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV subtilty
(see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16 into utter nonsense!
PHILIPPIANS 2:6: The KJB again, clearly declares the deity
of Jesus Christ: "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD" The NIV reads, "Who, being in very nature
God, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD something to be grasped,". The
NIV again subtitly perverts the deity of Jesus Christ!
The NIV perverts the virgin birth!
LUKE 2:33: The King James Bible reads, "And JOSEPH and his
mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him." The NIV
reads, "The CHILD'S FATHER and mother marveled at what was said about
him."
The "CHILD'S FATHER"? Was Joseph Jesus's father? Not if
you believe the virgin birth! Not if you believe John 3:16, that Jesus
Christ was the Son of God! A subtil, "perversion" of the virgin birth.
See also Luke 2:43.
The NIV removes the blood of
Jesus Christ!
COLOSSIANS 1:14: The KJB reads, "In whom we have redemption
THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins:"
The NIV reads,
"In
whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
The NIV rips out
the precious words "THROUGH HIS BLOOD"!Friend, redemption is
ONLY "THROUGH HIS BLOOD".Hebrews 9:22, reads, ". . . without
shedding of BLOOD
is no remission." That old song says, "What can
wash away my sins, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!"
The NIV perverts John 3:16 into
a LIE!
JOHN 3:16: The NIV reads, "For God so loved the world that
he gave his ONE AND ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life" Jesus was NOT "the one and only
son" - Adam is called the "son of God" in Luke 3:38, there are
"sons
of God" in Job 1:6 and Christians are called "sons of God" in
Phil 2:15, I John 3:2- but Jesus was the "ONLY BEGOTTEN SON"! By
removing the critical word "BEGOTTEN" - The NIV perverts John 3:16 into
a LIE! The NIV does the same in John 1:14, 1:18, and 3:18.
The NIV perverts TRUTH into LIES!
The NIV perverts Mark 1:2,3 into a LIE! The NIV reads "It
is written in Isaiah the prophet: I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way-a voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare
the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him." It is NOT written
in Isaiah! "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare
your way" - is found in Malachi 3:1! The King James
correctly
reads: "As it is written in the PROPHETS, . . ." A better translation!
Easier to read - BY A LIE!
Psalms 119:160 says, "Thy word is TRUE. . ." John 17:17
says, ". . . thy word is TRUTH." Titus 1:2 clearly says,
".
. . God that CANNOT LIE"How could the God of Titus 1:2 be the God
of Mark 1:2,3 in the NIV!? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! For Hebrews
6:18
clearly declares, ". . . it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to
LIE" It is impossible for the LIES in the NIV to be the words of GOD!
Whose
words are they? I'll give you a hint - Jesus Christ calls him "A
LIAR, and the father of it" in John 8:44!
The NIV again openly LIES in 2 Samuel 21:19,
". . .
Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite,
who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod." What 8-year-old
doesn't know that David killed Goliath?
Romans 1:18-32 describes the "path to perversion" and verse 25,
describes their decline, "Who changed the TRUTH of God into a LIE.
. ."! Not surprisingly, The NIV perverts Romans 1:25 from "CHANGED
the truth of God INTO a lie" to
"EXCHANGED the truth of God
FOR a lie"!
The NIV and sexual perversion!
Romans 1:26-32 also shows the "fruits" of "sowing" ". . . the
TRUTH of God into a LIE. . ." Verses 26-27 says "FOR THIS
CAUSE (vs 25 for "changing the TRUTH of God into a LIE") God
gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change
the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their
lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, .
. ."
The last few years homosexuality and sexual perversion have "exploded"
into the mainstream. Legislation is now pending making same-sex marriages
legal. Books such as
Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's Roommate,
promoting homosexuality, are in our schools. According to The Washington
Post, bisexuality and homosexuality, are the "in thing" in our public
schools. And even churches are now welcoming homosexuals and are even
ordaining them in the ministry!
A literary critic on the NIV translation was homosexual author Dr. Virginia
Mollenkott. In Episcopal, Witness (June 1991, pp. 20-23), she admits,
"My lesbianism has ALWAYS been a part of me. . ." To no surprise, "sodomite"
is completely removed from the NIV. (Deut. 23:17, I Kings 14:24, 15:12,
22:46, II Kings 23:7) And of course, I Cor. 6:9, ". . . effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind. . ." is replaced with the non-offensive
".
. . nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders. . ."Notice the
NIV in I Cor. 6:9 does NOT condemn "homosexuals" or the "act of homosexuality"
- but ONLY "homosexual OFFENDERS"./b>
The NIV & Zondervan
A little known fact: In 1988 Zondervan and the NIV was purchased
by
Harper & Row, Publishers (now HarperCollins Publishers).
HarperCollins
publishes "pro-homosexual" books such as Making Out, The Book of Lesbian
Sex and Sexuality described as "Beautifully illustrated with full-color
photography,. . . Making Out is the complete illustrated guide to lesbian
sexuality and relationships. . .the intricacies of love play. . ."
and many other pro-homosexual books!
HarperCollins is a subsidiary of the global media empire, The
News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdock. The News Corporation
empire include Fox Broadcasting, Twentieth Century Fox, and more than 128
newspapers. Fox Broadcasting produces some of the most sexually
lewd shows on television. Murdock also publishes the British newspaper,
the
Sun, notorious for its nude pin-ups.
Now where is Don Wildmon when we really need him? Don
was quick to boycott Kmart because subsidiary,
Waldenbooks sold
Playboy and Penthouse. Kmart can't "hold a candle" to the "filth" spewed
by The News Corporation. Why isn't Don boycotting Zondervan and
the NIV? Friend, every time you purchase the NIV you are giving to people
who produce pro-homosexuality, and pornographic material. "Can two
walk together, except they be AGREED?" Amos 3:3
Jesus Christ plainly said in Matthew 7:17-18:
Even so every GOOD tree bringeth forth GOOD fruit;
but a CORRUPT tree bringeth forth EVIL FRUIT. A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a CORRUPT tree bring
forth GOOD FRUIT. (Matthew 7:17-18)
Do you think Jesus Christ was LIEING?
Do you really believe God would ALLOW His HOLY word to be "owned"
by that group? ". . .for what fellowship hath RIGHTEOUSNESS
with UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? and what communion hath light with darkness?"2
Cor. 6:14
Being born again, not of CORRUPTIBLE seed, but of INCORRUPTIBLE,
by the WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter
1:23)
Isn't it EQUALLY amazing that the King James Bible is the ONLY Bible
that is not OWNED by men?
That's right! The King James Bible has no COPYRIGHT ownership! It's
copyright is the CROWN COPYRIGHT which ALLOWS it to be published by ANYONE,
ANYTIME! Without asking ANYBODY for permission!
". . .but the word of God is NOT BOUND." 2 Timothy 2:9
The NIV robs Jesus Christ of
worship!
In Matt. 8:2, 9:18, 15:25, 18:26, 20:20, Mark 5:6, 15:19 "worshipped
him" is removed in the NIV! Why doesn't the NIV want Jesus Christ to
be worshipped? Hint: see Luke 4:7, Matt. 4:9.
The NIV perverts Jesus Christ
into Lucifer!
Isaiah 14:14 reveals Satan's grandest desire, "I will be like
the most High." And with a little subtil perversion - the NIV in Isaiah
14:12 grants Satan's wish!
ISAIAH 14:12: The KJB reads, "How art thou fallen from heaven,
O LUCIFER, son of the morning!. . ." The NIV PERversion reads,
"How you have fallen from heaven, O MORNING STAR, son of the dawn.
. ." The NIV change "Lucifer" to "MORNING STAR".
BUT WAIT. . . I thought the Lord Jesus Christ was the MORNING STAR?
Doesn't Revelation 22:16 say, "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, and the bright and MORNING STAR".
The NIV CLEARY AND BLATANTLY makes LUCIFER -- The Lord Jesus
Christ! WHAT BLASPHEMY! WHAT PERVERSION!
And Christians claim the
NIV is a "better translation"!
ISAIAH 14:15: The King James Bible condemns Lucifer to hell:
"Yet
thou shalt be brought down to HELL . . ." The NIV does NOT condemn
Lucifer to HELL! The NIV reads, "But you are brought down to the
GRAVE. . ." We all go to the
GRAVE! Why doesn't the NIV want
Satan in hell?
The NIV removes and perverts
the place of hell!
The word "hell" occurs 31 times in the Old Testament in the King James
Bible. In the Old Testament of the NIV it occurs - ZERO! The
word "hell" is NOT in the Old Testament of the NIV!
And what do they do with "hell"? Take PSALM 9:17 for example:
The King James reads, "The wicked shall be turned into
HELL.
. ." The NIV, reads, "The wicked return to the GRAVE. . ."We
ALL "return to the GRAVE"! By removing "hell" the NIV perverts
Psalm 9:17 into nonsense!
In the New Testament the NIV zaps out "hell" 9 times. And what "clearer"
"easier to understand" word does the NIV "update" hell with? Five
times they use - HADES! (Matt 16:18, Rev 1:18, 6:8, 20:13,14)What
"common person" understands HADES?Everybody knows what HELL is!
Do you know what HADES is? Hades is not always a place of torment or
terror. The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies
called "Happy Fields". In the satanic New Age Movement, Hades is an
intermediate state of purification! Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary
defines HADES: "the underground abode of the dead in Greek
MYTHOLOGY".
The
NIV perverts your Bible into MYTHOLOGY!
The NIV perverts The Lord's Prayer
into The Devil's Prayer!
LUKE 11:2-4: The KJB reads, ". . .Our Father
which art
in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And
forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to
us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."The
NIV removes everything that refers to a Holy God in heaven -"WHICH ART
IN HEAVEN. . . Thy will be done, AS IN HEAVEN, so in earth.. .but DELIVER
US FROM EVIL."Everything that distinguishes God from the Devil
is REMOVED!"OUR FATHER" of the NIV is "NOT IN HEAVEN" and "DOES
NOT DELIVER FROM EVIL!" I wonder who it could be? (hint: see John 8:44)
The Bible warns against taking
away and adding to the words of God!
Deuteronomy 4:2 reads: "YE SHALL NOT ADD unto the word which
I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH ought from it . . ."
Proverbs 30:6, reads, "ADD THOU NOT unto his words . . ."
And just in case you missed it, GOD'S LAST WARNING is Revelation
22:18,19, ". . . If any man SHALL ADD unto these things.
. . 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 book of life. .
."
And Jesus Christ, in Luke 8:12, gives a clear aim of Satan, ".
. . then cometh the devil, and TAKETH AWAY the word . . ."
The NIV completely "TAKETH AWAY"
17 verses!
Wonderful and precious verses like:
MATTHEW 18:11: "For the Son of man is come to save that which
was lost.".
ACTS 8:37: "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God."
The NIV PERversion completely "TAKETH AWAY" Matthew 17:21,
18:11, 23:14, Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John
5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:28, Romans 16:24 and 1 John 5:7!
After Mark 16:8 the NIV says, "The most reliable early manuscripts
and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20." ZAP-There
goes another 12 verses! And by the way, that is absolutely untrue!
The book,
The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel of Mark, by Dean
Burgon contains over 400 pages of documented evidence for Mark 16:9-20,
that has never been refuted, nor ever will!
After John 7:52, the NIV, reads, "The earliest and most reliable
manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11" ZAP-There
goes another 12 verses!
Matt. 12:47, 21:44, Luke 22:43 and 22:44 are all removed in the footnotes!
That's 45 complete verses the NIV removes from the text or in
the footnotes!
The NIV "TAKETH AWAY" 64,576
words!
Don't look for the "mercyseat" in the NIV - GONE!
Don't look for "Jehovah" in the NIV - GONE!
Don't look for the "Godhead" in the NIV - GONE!
The NIV removes wonderful Bible "terms" like remission, regeneration,
impute, propitiation, new testament and many others!
Despite God's clear warnings about "taking away" from His words -
the NIV removes 64,576 words! Over 8 percent of God's word is "TAKETH
AWAY"!
That equals REMOVING the books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song
of Solomon, Lamentations, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum,
Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi, Colossians, I Thessalonians, II Thessalonians,
I Timothy, II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, I Peter, II Peter, I John,
II John, III John, Jude and more
- COMBINED!!! The equivalence
of ripping out OVER 30 BOOKS of the Bible!
In case you think it's insignificant words like "thee" and "thou"?
The
NIV removes major portions of at least 147 verses!
Here's a small (very small) sampling of words removed in the NIV!
Matt. 6:13, "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever. Amen."
Matt. 15:8, "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth"
Matt. 19:9, "and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."

They parted my garments among them and upon my vesture did they cast lots"

and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

Heb. 7:21, "after the order of Melchisedec"
I Pet. 1:22, "through the Spirit"
I Pet. 4:14, "on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part
he is glorified"
I John 4:3, "Christ is come in the flesh"
I John 5:13, "and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God"
Rev. 1:11, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last"
Rev. 5:14, "him that liveth for ever and ever"
Rev. 14:5, "before the throne of God"
Rev. 21:24, "of them which are saved"
Jesus Christ says, in Luke 4:4, ". . . It is written, That man shall
not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD of God." But not
according to the NIV! In fact, the NIV even "TAKETH AWAY" the last half
of Luke 4:4 -
"BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD"! And Jesus Christ was quoting
Deuteronomy 8:3 to Satan! Does the NIV PERversion seriously think the Lord
Jesus Christ does NOT know Duet. 8:3???
The LIES used to promote the
NIV. . .
LIE 1) The NIV "just" updates the "archaic" words and makes
it "easier to understand". Nothing is "really changed.
FACT: The NIV denys the deity of Jesus Christ; the virgin birth;
glorifies Satan; openly lie; removes 17 complete verses and 64,576 words!
LIE 2) The NIV is easier to read and understand.
FACT: According to a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level research
study, The King James Bible is by far the easiest! Out of 26 different
categories - the King James graded easier in a whopping 23! In selected
analysis, the KJB average grade level was 5.8 - the NIV was 8.4! (New
Age Bible Versions, Riplinger, pp.195-209)
LIE 3) Older and more reliable manuscripts have been discovered
since the King James Bible.
FACT: Dr. Sam Gipp writes, "The fact is, that the King James
translators had ALL OF THE READINGS available to them that modern
critics have available to them today." (The Answer Book, Gipp,
p.110) And furthermore, it is a well documented fact that 90 - 95
per cent of all readings agree with the King James Bible!
LIE 4) The NIV is more accurate.
FACT: The KJB is a literal word for word translation. When the
translators had to add words for sentence structure they are in italics.
The NIV uses "dynamic equivalence". Rather than a word for word translation,
they add, change and subtract to make the verse say what they "thought"
it should! The Preface to the NIV even says, ". . .they have striven
for more than a word-for-word translation. . ."
". . . ye have PERVERTED the words of the living
God. . ."
Jeremiah 23:36
The New International
PER-Version!
"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."
Psalms 12:6, 7
