The categories of tables were selected to represent the most significant areas of change
in some of the modern translations which affect fundamental Christian doctrine. This
listing is only a portion of the overwhelming number of alterations to essential
doctrines in the NASB, NIV and other modern versions based on the Westcott-Hort
Greek Text.

1. THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and
took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." (Philippians
2:5-7)

Modifications to key verses such as this one and others containing titles of the Lord
Jesus Christ denigrate the doctrine of His deity.

2. THE INCARNATION

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in
the world, received up into glory." (I Timothy 3:16)
New versions change "God" to "He" in this verse and omit other references to Jesus
Christ coming in the flesh.

3. THE VIRGIN BIRTH

"BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON,
AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God
with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden
him, and took unto him his wife: and knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son; and he called his name JESUS." (Matthew 1:23-25)

In the prophecy as it was originally given in Isaiah 7:14, the Revised Standard Version
changes "virgin" to "young woman" and the NASB has "maiden" in a footnote. In

4
Matthew 1:25, new versions change "her firstborn son" to "birth to a son", casting doubt
upon the virginity of Mary at Jesus’ birth.

Other verses are changed to indicate that Jesus was born of an earthly father. These
alterations deny the role of the Holy Spirit in the conception of Jesus Christ and,
therefore, His divine nature.

his mother His mother

4. THE SUBSTITUTIONARY ATONEMENT

"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13,14)

New versions remove reference to the blood atonement in this and other verses. Words
are also omitted or changed which show that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ is the
full atonement for our sins.

SCRIPTURE KJV ERV NASB NIV NKJV

5. THE RESURRECTION

"Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary
Magdalene...After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked,
and went into the country . . .Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at
meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they
believed not them which had seen him after he was risen." (Mark 16:9,12,14)

New versions isolate Mark 16:9-20 with the misleading disclaimer that it is not
contained in the earliest manuscripts. They also question almost every appearance of
Jesus after his resurrection, causing doubts concerning His bodily resurrection and
deity.

6. THE ASCENSION

"So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat
on the right hand of God." (Mark 16:11)

The ascension proves that Jesus Christ is now in heaven. Almost every mention of the
ascension is omitted in some new versions.

7. THE TRINITY

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three are one." (I John 5:7)

This is the famous Trinitarian proof text which F.J.A. Hort hoped to remove from the
New Greek Text. (see Life and Letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort) It is missing from
the Westcott-Hort New Greek New Testament Text, the English Revised Version and
most modern translations.

8. JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE

"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." (Acts 8:37)

New versions omit this verse and alter others to change justification by faith to salvation
through works. Many versions delete "by himself" in Hebrews 1:3 to permit faith in
another mediator, such as Mary. The omission of "on me" in John 6:47 allows any belief.

9. INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE

"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." (Psalm 12:6, 7)

In this important verse, new versions change "them" referring to the Scriptures to "us"
referring to people. Other alterations and omissions diminish the authority of Scripture
and discourage confidence in its divine inspiration and preservation.

10. MASCULINE DEITY

"He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that
seeth me seeth him that sent me. (John 12:44,45)

New versions frequently change masculine words referring to God to the neuter "One".
False religions of this world often identify their god as "the One". The new "Politically
Correct" bible calls God, "Father-Mother", and Christ, "the human one." (41)

11. SATAN

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how thou art cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations." (Isaiah 14:12)

"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." (Revelation 22:16)

In the only passage of Scripture which describes Lucifer’s iniquity and fall into hell,
most new versions omit the name Lucifer and confuse his identity with Jesus Christ.

12. MAN

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory
and honour. (Psalm 8:4,5)

New versions exalt man to being "a little lower than God" and omit many references to
his fallen spiritual condition. Cults, the New Age and false religions also raise mankind
to the level of being divine or in the process of evolving into gods. (42)

"That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (II

12
New versions frequently delete words such as "righteousness", "holy", "perfect" and
other requirements of the sanctified life. As a result, the gospel is brought into reproach
by worldliness and corruption in the church.

"After this manner therefore pray ye..." (Matthew 6:9)

New versions remove 21 words from The Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11 and words of
instruction on prayer in other passages.

15. THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

"This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner
as ye have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11)

Important references to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to establish His reign upon
earth are often omitted in the new versions. The New Age Movement, cults and
apostate religions believe that "the Christ" is already on the earth and will soon be
revealed. (43)

16. SIN

"Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief; when thou shalt make
his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand." (Isaiah 53:10)

New versions change "sin" to "guilt" in this important verse, thus relieving man of his
accountability and placing the blame on God.

Rewording of I John 5:19 blames the devil for sin, as did Eve. Modern psychology in the
church reflects this propensity to transfer responsibility for sin rather than to repent.
New versions alter many verses pertaining to sin in order to present it in less relevant,
personal and severe terms.

17. THE JUDGMENT

"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off
the dust from under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it
shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the Day of Judgment, than for that
city." (Mark 6:11)

References to a final Day of Judgment are often missing in new versions. New Age
prophets teach that, since God is love, He does not judge anyone. Belief in a literal hell
and fear of God’s judgment are both foolishness and an offense to modern man.

18. HELL

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (Psalm 9:17)

New versions change "shall be turned into hell" to "return to the grave" or "Sheol". In
similar verses, "the depths" or "the realm of death" is substituted. Descriptions of the
everlasting torment of souls in hell are eliminated or softened.

19. THE GOSPEL

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto another gospel: which is not another; But there be some that trouble you and
would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed." (Galatians 1:6-8)

SCRIPTURE CHANGES IN MODERN VERSIONS

WHICH AFFECT THE INTERPRETATION OF
BIBLE PROPHECY

Who will soon come to establish His Millennial Kingdom?

The NASB and NIV remove references to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Matthew
24:24 says:

23
"There shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Many shall come in Jesus’ name, claiming that they will establish the kingdom of God
preceding or in the place of Jesus Christ.

What will happen just prior to Jesus Christ’s return?

II Thessalonians 2:3-12 foretells that many will fall away from or deny the true faith,
"the truth" (v. 10) that God became man in Jesus Christ. They will worship a counterfeit
Christ who is Satan incarnate, while under a strong delusion that mankind is being
transformed into gods. New version terms "rebellion," "lawlessness" and "destruction"
may be applied to those who oppose this antichrist system.

SCRIPTURE KJV NASB NIV NKJV

II Thessalonians there come a the apostasy the rebellion unless the falling
2:3 falling away comes first, and occurs and the away comes first
first, and that the man of man of and the man of
man of sin be lawlessness is lawlessness is sin is revealed,
revealed, the revealed, the revealed, the the son of
son of son of man doomed to perdition.

24
 How are we to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?

Jesus gives his disciples instructions to "watch and pray," as He did Peter, "that ye enter
not into temptation." Those who do not heed this warning will fall away and will be not
counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon all those who dwell on the
earth.

SCRIPTURE KJV NASB NIV NKJV

Mark 13:33 watch and keep on the be on guard, watch and pray

these things these things things

How will the Antichrist be recognized?

The spirit of antichrist does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, but
believes that Christ comes as the "universal consciousness" of the divine spirit within
each person. The Antichrist exalts himself above God and will exterminate many
through an artifice of "peacemaking," be a practitioner of witchcraft or "the Craft"
(Freemasonry) and will worship "the force" of pagan religions.

SCRIPTURE KJV NASB NIV NKJV

What is the mark, the name and the number of the Beast?

The NASB and NIV do not clearly differentiate between the mark, the name and the
number of the Beast. Please refer to the Watch Unto Prayer report on The Six-Pointed
Star: The Mark of the Beast for evidence that the Beast is the Assyrian-Babylonian god,
Saturn, whom the apostate Israelites worshipped as the Star of Remphan (Acts 7:37-43).

Should people receive the name of the Beast?

God will seal His servants’ foreheads during the Tribulation. New versions add "his

antichrist before receiving the Lamb’s Father’s name. All who take "his name" are
condemned. (14:9, 10)

What is MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT?

Mystery Babylon is both a city and a religious system. New versions change the
punctuation of Revelation 17:9,10 to confuse the identity of the “city of seven hills,”
which is Rome. Revelation 14:8 and 17:18 are references to “that” great city mentioned
in 17:9. In 17:5, the NASB transfers the key word “Mystery” from the literal name on her

26
forehead to a descriptive phrase declaring the name “a mystery,” or knowledge not
revealed to man. This changes the interpretation by removing its association with the
mystery religion of ancient Babylon from which Roman Catholicism derives.

Believers Beware of Counterfeit King James
Bibles
By Nic Kizziah

King James Bible believers are faced with an array of problems to day. Of course we all know
that the multiplicity of all the new modern versions are a big problem but another big problem is
the fact that many of the worldly publishing companies are publishing Bibles and calling them
King James Bibles when in actuality they are not. They are counterfeits.

Because the King James Bible is in the publick domain and not copyrighted, these worldly
publishing companies think they can make minor changes to the standard text so that they can
please certain groups which translates into extra sales for them. That's the way the modern world
operates to day. All the common ordinary Bible believer wants is the same Bible that his
grandmother had and the same Bible her grandmother had and the same Bible her grandmother
had etc. that's all.

Just give us the text that has established itself as the standard text of the Holy Bible, an old
fashioned, Christ exalting, devil kicking, Authorized King James Bible. To the best of my
understanding this is the 1769 edition of the 1611 King James Bible with a few minor printing
errors and spellings corrected along the way in the 1800's.

Until the twenty-first century you could get a copy of it in any nickel and dime book store. To
day you can still find it but you must proceed with caution. You will be hard pressed to find it at
all in any typical Christian book store without some alterations to the text.

The Bible of our forefathers which we received through process of time comes with three
specific warning labels. One is near the front. The other is near the middle and the last one is at
the very end. Let's read them:

WARNING LABEL # 1 - Deuteronomy 4:2

28
2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it,
that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

WARNING LABEL # 2 - Proverbs 30:5-6

5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

WARNING LABEL # 3 - Revelation 22:18-19

18
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 the plagues that are written in this book:
19
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 out of the holy city, and from the things which are
written in this book.

I would like to think these worldly publishing companies are just ignorant to the seriousness of
what they are doing. However in some cases I'm sure that these deceptive maneuvers are being
done with fore thought. In other words they are aware of the warning labels but choose to ignore
them. They have hardened their hearts against the standard text of the Holy Bible.

Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about. It was approximately six months ago I
purchased a King James Bible from a popular on line book store. It was a straight text
(advertised as the standard text) meaning it had no notes, no references, no helps, and no maps.
It was just what I wanted. Just give me the Bible and if I need help with a difficult passage I'll
ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and I'll check other scriptures for references.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against some of the commentaries and other Bible study tools. In
fact I consider some of them a necessity, for example a good dictionary. It's just that
commentaries, dictionaries, concordances and the like are the words of men and not the words of
God. They are not infallible. Therefore I do not believe they should be mixed together under the
same cover and be called the word of God. In actuality it is the word of God plus the words of a
man or a group of men. In my opinion the Holy Bible should be just the word of God only from
cover to cover. That is why I prefer a straight text.

At any rate I had bought the Bible I thought I wanted. It had been published by Cambridge.
They have always been the giant in the industry. In fact they are the oldest Printer and Publisher
in the world. They are supposed to be the gold standard for dependability according to many
King James Bible believers. This Bible had a nice black French Morocco leather cover with
golden coloured gilt edges. It was very nice on the outside but when I started checking out the
inside I was shocked. This particular edition of the Cambridge Bible that calls itself a King
James Bible is not genuine. IT'S A COUNTERFEIT! It's not the Bible of my forefathers!

Here are some of the changes I located: Asswaged has been changed to assuaged. Basons has
been changed to basins. Chesnut has been changed to chestnut. Cloke has been changed to
cloak. Enquire has been changed to inquire. Further has been changed to farther. Jubile has

29
been changed to jubilee. Intreat has been changed to entreat. Morter has been changed to
mortar. Ought has been changed to aught, and rereward has been changed to rearward.

Brother Nic, why get so upset? These are just minor changes in spelling. Well maybe they are,
but have you never read "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?" You see I believe God wrote
the Bible through sinful men. I believe God copied the Bible through sinful men. I believe God
translated the Bible through sinful men, and I believe God edited (purified) the Bible through
sinful men. So therefore I believe God gave us the exact words in the exact order He wanted us
to have them in. If that's the case then He spelled the words exactly the way He wanted to spell
them, and gave them to us in a pure language, and that language is the standard text of the King
James Bible. This is the Bible that has stood the test of time without any editing whatsoever and
this is the Bible The Believers organization, with God's help, intends to preserve for all future
generations.

Beside all this, Cambridge has also taken the liberty of making doctrinal changes. Notice the
following: The capital S in the word Spirit has been changed to a lower case s in numerous
passages. The capital S refers to the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Godhead, whereas the
lower case s in the word spirit could have multiple definitions such as simply referring to a mood
or emotion. Its primary definition means to breath. All living self moving creatures have a spirit
within them. So many definitions could apply to the word spirit when it is not capitalized.

To change the capital S in the word Spirit to a lower case s is an attack against the Godhead, the
most powerful threefold cord in heaven and earth: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Cambridge has made this critical error in the following places: Genesis 1:2, 41:38, Judges 3:10,
6:34, 11:29, 13:25, 14:6, 14:19, 15:14, 1 Samuel 10:6, 10:10, 11:6, 16:13, 16:14, 19:20, 19:23, 2
Samuel 23:2, 1 Kings 18:12, 22:24, 2 Kings 2:16, 2 Chronicles 15:1, 18:23, 20:14, 24:20, Job
33:4, Isaiah 40:13, 48:16, 61:1, 63:10, 11, 14, Ezekiel 11:5, 24. For hundreds of years
Cambridge published these verses with a capital S, but now in the twenty-first century it has
been changed. Actually this so called standard text edition first hit the market in 1993 and is
being endorsed by many King James Bible believing websites to day. I assume that they are not
aware that it has been modernized.

Here is another change that has been made in this particular edition: the word twoedged has
become two-edged. They added a hyphen. This word is only in the King James Bible four times
(Psalms 149:6, Proverbs 5:4, Hebrews 4:12, and Revelation 1:16.) Now check this out: they
added the hyphen in only three of the four verses. They left it without a hyphen in Hebrews
4:12. Why? Was this a mistake or did they mean to do it that way? Why tamper with it in the
first place? Don't say you were trying to help us Cambridge. If that's the case then please don't
try to help us any more. All we want you to do is to publish the same standard text of the King
James Bible as you have done so very well for hundreds of years. Don't publish something that is
not the standard and call it the standard. Once you modernize spelling, change capital letters to
lower case letters and add hyphens, you are changing the standard text in order to please modern
society.

Here are some other ploys that some of these other worldly publishing companies are pulling on
an unaware publick. One thing a lot of them do is change the spelling of words that end with the
letters o-u-r to the more modern American spelling of o-r. For example armour becomes armor.
Behaviour becomes behavior. Clamour becomes clamor. Colour becomes color. Endeavour

30
becomes endeavor. Favour becomes favor. Honour becomes honor. Labour becomes labor.
Neighbour becomes neighbor. Odour becomes odor. Rigour becomes rigor. Rumour becomes
rumor. Valour becomes valor and vapour becomes vapor. Well Brother Nic what's wrong with
that? Remember what we said about the warning labels? Remember what the scripture said
about a little leaven leaventh the whole lump?

Now the very worst of this battle of o-u-r vs. o-r comes when dealing with the only begotten
Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The modern day counterfeiters have changed
Saviour to Savior. They have given us a six-letter Savior in place of a seven-letter Saviour. In
Bible numerics seven is the number of completeness, purity, and spiritual perfection. On the
other hand six is the number of man which is earthly not heavenly. Every one has heard of 666.
It has a bad connotation and is not highly esteemed in Bible numerics.

The seven-letter Saviour is the only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The six-letter
Savior is the son of perdition, the anti christ. He wants to be like the most High (Isaiah 14:14,)
but not in a good way, but in an evil way. He is not a follower. He's a counterfeiter. Therefore
his final destination is the lake of fire. The new versions, along with the new age movement, and
some of the King James Bible counterfeits are preparing the way for this six-letter so called
Savior. That's the way he will spell his name, S-a-v-i-o-r not S-a-v-i-o-u-r. No thank you Satan.
I'm sticking with the seven-letter Saviour as portrayed in the old black Book that I inherited from
my forefathers.

There are many other things going on by the worldly publishing companies. Almost all of them
have hardened their hearts against the standard text of the Holy Bible. They do not believe God
actually had His hand upon it much less wrote it. They treat it as a product of men. That is why
they do not hesitate to publish all the different new versions. Nor do they hesitate to change the
old King James and still call it the King James. If a person can't see the fingerprints of God upon
this Book then he is either clouded in the cabassis or he is as lost as a duck in the desert with his
head in the sand!

The rules of English grammar may change but the King James Bible is fixed in a moment of time
(the 1800's, the 1900's and for ever more) and is unchangeable. This is the standard text and
there is no other. This is the Book that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. This
is the Book my grandmother had and her grandmother had and her grandmother had without any
alterations (editing) whatsoever. It is basically the same Book that rolled off the printing press in
1611. The only differences being it was changed from Gothic type to Roman type, printer's
errors were corrected and spelling was stabilized. The King James Bible is a very old Book.

Now consider this: the scriptures have been translated into over 1,200 languages. Of all these
over 800 languages had it translated straight from the Elizabethan English of the King James
Bible. Not from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Not from the Latin, not from the German, but
straight from the Authorized King James. Now some of these people have learned English as a
second language. They are not familiar with these modern Americanized spellings nor are most
of the other English speaking people of the world. Can you see what God has woven together
through process of time? The Holy Bible is from above and is a finished book from God. It is
written in a pure language. Furthermore this language is very peculiar and has been used and still
is being used in a very unique way. Let's preserve it as we received it and quit trying to change
it!
