Which Bible …Today’s snackable Word
Today, many people, purporting to be Christian, that have no concept of the Power manifested by Holy Spirit, which was ushered in by His finished work on the Cross by my Lord Jesus Christ. It is as if we are in a NEW DARK AGE — the more colloquial or, in today’s communication genre snackable the Bible is with the various new revisions, the less Father God is faithfully portrayed.
The NIV (New International Version) of the Bible is synonymous with contemporary churches and forms the basis of most of the new English language revisions, including ESV, The Message and the NASB
To the left is a by no means complete comparison, but the ones that we have recorded describe the Power we have and the dilution.
Why is this relevant? Because Satan is a legalist. If we choose through our free will to believe a corrupt version of our Lord Jesus Christ who is portrayed as powerless – that is what we get!

*Westcott, A., Life
1846 Oct. 25th – Westcott: “Is there not that in the principles of the “Evangelical” school which must lead to the exaltation of the individual minister, and does not that help to prove their unsoundness? If preaching is the chief means of grace, it must emanate not from the church, but from the preacher, and besides placing him in a false position, it places him in a fearfully dangerous one.” (Life, Vol.I, pp.44,45).
Oct., 22nd after Trinity Sunday – Westcott: “Do you not understand the meaning of Theological ‘Development’? It is briefly this, that in an early time some doctrine is proposed in a simple or obscure form, or even but darkly hinted at, which in succeeding ages,as the wants of men’s minds grow, grows with them – in fact, that Christianity is always progressive in its principles and doctrines” (Life, Vol.I, p.78).
Dec. 23rd – Westcott: “My faith is still wavering. I cannot determine how much we must believe; how much, in fact, is necessarily required of a member of the Church.” (Life, Vol.I, p.46).
1847 Jan., 2nd Sunday after Epiphany – Westcott: “After leaving the monastery we shaped our course to a little oratory…It is very small, with one kneeling-place; and behind a screen was a ‘Pieta’ the size of life (i.e. a Virgin and dead Christ)…I could not help thinking on the grandeur of the Romish Church, on her zeal even in error, on her earnestness and self-devotion, which we might, with nobler views and a purer end, strive to imitate. Had I been alone I could have knelt there for hours.” (Life, Vol.I, p.81).
1848 July 6th – Hort: “One of the things, I think, which shows the falsity of the Evangelical notion of this subject (baptism), is that it is so trim and precise…no deep spiritual truths of the Reason are thus logically harmonious and systematic…the pure Romish view seems to me nearer, and more likely to lead to, the truth than the Evangelical…the fanaticism of the bibliolaters, among whom reading so many ‘chapters’ seems exactly to correspond to the Romish superstition of telling so many dozen beads on a rosary…still we dare not forsake the Sacraments, or God will forsake us…I am inclined to think that no such state as ‘Eden’ (I mean the popular notion) ever existed, and that Adam’s fall in no degree differed from the fall of each of his descendants” (Life, Vol.I, pp.76-78).
Aug. 11th – Westcott: “I never read an account of a miracle (in Scripture?) but I seem
Nov., Advent Sunday – Westcott: “All
1850 May 12th – Hort: “You ask me about the liberty to be allowed to clergymen in their views of Baptism. For my own part, I would gladly admit to the ministry such as hold Gorham’s view, much more such as hold the ordinary confused Evangelical notions” (Life, Vol.I, p.148).
July 31st – Hort: “I spoke of the gloomy prospect, should the Evangelicals carry on their present victory so as to alter the Services.” (Life, Vol.I, p.160).
1851 Feb. 7th – Hort: “Westcott is just coming out with his Norrisian on ‘The Elements of the Gospel Harmony.’ I have seen the first sheet on Inspiration, which is a wonderful step in advance of common orthodox heresy.” (Life, Vol.I, p.181).
1858 Oct. 21st – Further I agree with them in condemning many leading specific doctrines of the popular theology as, to say the least, containing much superstition and immorality of a very
1860 Apr. 3rd – Hort: “But the book which has most engaged me is Darwin. Whatever may be thought of it, it is a book that one is proud to be contemporary with. I must work out and examine the argument in more detail, but at
Oct. 15th – Hort: “I entirely agree – correcting one word – with what you there say on the Atonement, having for many years believed that “the absolute union of the Christian (or rather, of man) with Christ Himself” is the spiritual truth of which the popular doctrine of substitution is an immoral and material counterfeit…
1864 Sept. 23rd – Hort: “I believe Coleridge was quite right in saying that Christianity without a substantial Church is vanity and dissolution
1865 Sept. 27th – Westcott: “I have been trying to recall my impressions of La Salette (a
Nov. 17th – Westcott: “As far as I could judge, the ‘idea’ of La Salette was that of God revealing Himself now, and not in one form but in many.” (Life, Vol.I. pp.251,252).
Oct. 17th – Hort: “I have been persuaded for many years that Mary-worship and ‘Jesus’-worship have very much in common in their causes and their results.” (Life, Vol.II, p.50).
1867 Oct. 17th – Hort: “I wish we were more agreed on the doctrinal part; but you know I am a staunch sacerdotalist, and there is not much profit in arguing about first principles.” (Life, Vol.II, p.86).
1890 Mar. 4th – Westcott: “No one now, I suppose, holds that the first three chapters of Genesis, for example, give a literal history – I could never understand how any one reading them with open eyes could think they did – yet they disclose to us a Gospel. So it is probably

Westcott was a bishop in the Anglican church and Hort a Professor of divinity but both men had abandoned their Christian faith. Westcott formed a club while an undergraduate at Cambridge called ‘Hermes’. It was a club set up to for athletes.

Hermes is another name for Satan and was bi-sexual or androgynous. These clubs were noted for the intensity of the homosexual relations between its members.

In 1851, Hort and Westcott started the ‘Ghost Society’ which over the years included some of the most noted intellectuals in England including future Prime Minister Arthur Balfour.

Balfour was at the centre of an elite group which had inherited great political power, wealth and social position. A Freemason Arthur Balfour and Herbert Samuel led the campaign for official British recognition of a Jewish homeland.

3. SATANIC / LUCIFERIAN STRATEGY
A key strategy in bringing about this one world religion involved replacing the King James Version which was standard in their day with a revised text where words were added and removed and meanings changed.
Hort and Westcott’s New Age Versions have virtually replaced the King James version today. Not content with changing God’s word, Scofield’s credit reveals they also worked to change bible prophecy. Historicism had been the standard for 500 years. But the publication of the Scofield Bible resurrected the old Jesuit futurism with a Zionist twist. Today the policies of our country are dramatically influenced by futurism and Christian Zionism while few have even heard of historicism. During the years they worked on the revised text they secretly met at night and held séances with their depraved society. These meetings were often held at Arthur Balfour’s residence or townhouse. They are acknowledged today as the fathers of modern channeling. Channeling involves inviting a familiar spirit or diving demon into ones body. Channelers or mediums frequently end up in bondage with the occult. According to Scofield, the real influences behind the publication of the Scofield Bible were two men who were influenced or possessed by demons. Their motivation was not to glorify God but to bring about a New World Order with a New World Religion based on spiritualism.
*Founders of Psychical Research pp. 105, 104, 48. New Age Bible Versions, page 402. Founders of Psychical Research pp. 305-307.
Westcott & Hort (W & H) despised the KJV and the Textus Receptus. They had their own agenda and decided to make a new version of the Greek New Testament. They derived it primarily from two manuscripts, the Vaticanus (designated as Codex B) and the Sinaiticus (designated as Codex Aleph); and of these two, they leaned much more heavily on Codex B.
The Vaticanus had been squirreled away in the Vatican, evidently for centuries. Not surprisingly, its “readings” convey a Roman Catholic perspective and bias.
4. THE NIV CLAIMS ...
#1) The NIV “just” updates the “archaic” words and makes it “easier to understand”. Nothing is “really changed.
FACT: The NIV
# 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
# 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
# 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, “
The following information about the smallest of words that Father God uses to describe his ownership of us, (amongst other things) shows once again that He is focused on and in the detail
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Psalm 139:13-14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
WHY Thee, Thou and Thine are important
THOU, THEE, THY, and THINE
And why the NKJV is NOT fine…
Source: Richard Anthony
The English words “thou, thee, thy and thine” are translated from an emphatic Greek and Hebrew personal pronoun, stressing the identity of the one being addressed to the exclusion of all others.
A “pronoun” is a word that “stands in for” another noun or noun-phrase. A “personal pronoun” is one which stands for a person. The personal pronouns are classified as first person, second person and third person by their relationship to the one speaking.
1st Person – The speaker himself, and any others he may include as part of his group.
2nd Person – Those to whom the speaker is speaking.
3rd Person – Those about whom the speaker is speaking.
Thus, we have the following table which we can construct in English, once we differentiate between the purpose of the various pronouns:
| Normative | Objective | Possessive | ||
| 1st Person | singular | I | Me | My(or Mine) |
| plural | We | Us | Ours (or Ours) | |
| 2nd Person | singular | Thou | Thee | Thy (or Thine) |
| plural | Ye | You | You (or Yours) | |
| 3rd Person | singular | He/She/It | Him/Her/It | His/Hers/Its |
| plural | They | Them | Their (or Theirs) |
Verses expressing the Importance of “thou, thee, thy and thine.”
Exodus 4:15, “THOU shalt speak … I will be with THY mouth…and will teach YOU what YE shall do.”
“Thou/Thy” refer to Moses himself, but “You/Ye” refer to the entire nation of Israel.
Exodus 29:42, “…I will meet YOU, to speak there unto THEE.”
The “You,” referring to the children of Israel, is explained in the following verse, but “Thee” refers to Moses, who had the holy privilege of hearing the words of God directly (Leviticus 1:1).
2 Samuel 7:23, “And what one nation in the earth is like THY people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for YOU great things and terrible, for THY land, before THY people, which THOU redeemedst to THEE from Egypt.”
Here David prayed to God in the second person singular, but referred to the people of Israel as “You.” What confusion could result if this important distinction were done away? It could be incorrectly thought that David was praying in part to the nation, or that the land belonged to the people and not to God.
Matthew 26:64, “Jesus saith unto him, THOU has said: nevertheless I say unto YOU, hereafter shall YE see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
“Thou” refers to the High Priest, but “You/Ye” include all those who were standing there in addition to the high priest.
Luke 5:24, “But that YE may know…I say unto THEE…take up THY couch, and go into THINE house.”
“Ye” refers to the crowd, but “Thee/Thy/Thine” refer only to the man with palsy.
John 3:7, 11, “Marvel not that I said unto THEE, YE must be born again.”
The message was spoken to the individual Nicodemus (“Thee”), but obviously has wider application to all those who desire to follow Christ (“Ye”).
John 14:9, “Have I been so long time with YOU, and yet hast THOU not known me?”
The “You” refers to the crowd, but “Thou” is addressed specifically to only one man, Philip.
1 Corinthians 8:9-12, “…this liberty of YOURS….If any man see THEE which hast knowledge… through THY knowledge…but when YE sin.”
The plural forms “Yours/Ye” refer to the liberty and sin of all believers in Christ as a whole, but the singular forms “thee/thy” refer only to those individual believers that find themselves in this particular circumstance.
Surely, you will notice that replacing “thou/thee/thy/thine” with the ambiguous “you/your” does NOT clarify, but tends to muddy, the Scriptures. Just about all modern bibles replace “thou/thee/thy/thine” with the ambiguous “you/your” which converts a clear meaning passage with a vague interpretation. So, please be aware of this important distinction in the bibles you read.

Trying to understand where they were coming from with contemporary Australian social issues such as same-sex marriage or marriage equality; with not accepting water baptism by full immersion; with not expecting miracles, but saying tritely “His grace is sufficient for me”— as if Father God
My heart bleeds for them with compassion because there is so much more to being part of Father God’s family.
It finally dawned on me that most of the people that I was at scriptural odds had ‘gaps’ in their scripture – the actual verses were ‘not quite right’, and that they were fellow-shipping with denominations where they were heavily influenced by or, using a version of the word, (rather than the KJV,) as their standard or go-to text. Having inherited my Mother’s NIV – with 20plus years of her hand-written notes crammed into the margins and almost as many pages of handwritten sermon notes, (diligently taken while she was Sacristy at her local Anglican Church) … I started to see the same patterns and conflicts.
I wanted to find out more about the NIV – and why it spawns another gospel … and started investigating Westcott and Hort. I started collecting the information that I had previously read, and in the comments section of this post and trailed back through hundreds and hundreds of old posts — I found that their ‘ideology’ was echoing what Mum had been writing and noting, and it was aligned directly with the ideology of Westcott and Hort.
Digging deeper, reading the primary references and pulling together the most compelling of the information as a reference I post it here, with as many of the refferences as possible, in the faith that you will be blessed with an illustration of a more sure word of Faith. God Bless Kim

Hebrews 6:18 NIV
18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

LORD JESUS CHRIST'S DEITY UNDERMINED
Luke 2:33 KJV
And Joseph and his mother marveled those things which were spoken of him.
Luke 2:33: NIV
The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.
- The child’s father?
- Joseph was not the father
- Belies the virgin birth
- John 3:16, that Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God
- A subtle, “perversion” of the virgin birth.
Luke 2:43 KJV
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
Luke 2:43 NIV
After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
JOHN 3:16, A FUNDAMENTAL DECEPTION
John 3:16 KJV
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 3:16 NIV
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.
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 Lord Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN SON
By removing the critical word “BEGOTTEN”, the NIV perverts John 3:16 into an LIE!
The NIV does the same in John 1:14, 1:18, and 3:18.
FURTHER REMOVES THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST
I Timothy 3:16 KJV
God was manifest in the flesh
I Timothy 3:16 NIV
He appeared in a body
The NIV changes “GOD” to “HE”. “
Everyone has “appeared in a body”
Philippians 2:6 KJV
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Philippians 2:6 NIV
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
This is imputing an ‘impure motive’ to Lord Jesus’ statement of fact

As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

as 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 wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaiah 14:12-15 NIV
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

4 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.
Luke 11:2-4 New International Version (NIV)
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:“‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.

4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
Everything that distinguishes God from the Devil is REMOVED

[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]

53 And every man went unto his own house.
8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

I just want you to know that your life does not have to be lived out in the prison house of sin. You do not have to be a slave to your passions. You do not have to die and go to Hell.
The Lord of glory, Jesus Christ Himself, stooped for you!
He came to this world and died that you might live. He came to set you free. He is able to deliver you from the sins that torment you. He is able to deliver you from dead religion. He is able to give you a new life. All you need do is accept His grace just like this woman did. When you do, salvation will be the result!
If you are in sin, confess it to Jesus and be set free.
Are you lost in sin?
Come to Jesus and be saved!
Are you saved by grace?
Come to Jesus and give Him long and sustained praise for His grace in your life.
Tell the devil to flee and he will!
Come to the front, stoop down and surrender to Jesus, He will then stand for you against all oppression and bless you with everlasting life.
May Our Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly.
Amen.
