Proof of the King James Version
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Deuteronomy 4:1,2 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 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.
I am not speaking anything against any person who does not believe the KJV is the true Word of God. Some people just do not understand because they have not been taught. Some people, however, have completely rejected the KJV in favor of modernism.
The Bible Societies do not allow the free presentation of the NA26 GNT on the internet. For this reason we present here a public domain GNT version which includes all NA26 variants in an apparatus. This statement appears to mean there is not a copy of the Westcort-hort Greek New Testament freely available because it is copyrighted.
Jesus said:
John 2:16 - And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Fathers house an house of merchandise.
Paul said:
2 Corinthians 2:17 - For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
Proverbs 11:21 - Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
The Byzantine text-type (also called Constantinopolitan, Syrian, ecclesiastical, and majority [also called the received text because it was received as authentic by the majority of authorities]) is the largest group of Greek manuscripts of the New Testament.
1. These text came from the Christian school located at Antioch, Syria.
2. These texts were preserved by the Byzantine empire which held power about 330-1453 A.D.
3. Thousands of copies were made from these texts.
4. It is called the "traditional Text".
The Alexandrian text-type (also called Egyptian) is a group of early manuscripts of the New Testament in the original Greek. The oldest surviving near-complete (but not complete) manuscripts of the New Testament belong to this text-type, and are known as Codex Vaticanus in the Vatican library and Codex Sinaiticus in the British Museum. The earliest papyri manuscripts of the New Testament such as P66 and P75 from the 2nd century also are of the Alexandrian type.
Westcott and Hort produced their new Greek text of the New Testament in 1881, upon which all the modern versions of the Bible has been produced. According to the modern "experts", there was no good Greek New Testament before 1881. They are saying the world has gone nearly 1900 years without a good explanation of the New Testament!

In religion, the "new science" of evolution by Charles Darwin (1802-1882).
In politics, Communism by Karl Marx (1818-1883).
In psychiatry, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) - The Man and His Ego.
The Dead Sea Scrolls

1. From the liberal Christian school in Alexandria, Egypt.
2. They are famous for using the pagan Greek philosophers to understand the Bible
3. Alexandria is not a reputable place as far as truth is concerned.
4. See Acts 6:9 for an example of the Alexandrian sect persecuting Stephen.
5. See Acts 18:24 for an example of the ignorance that came out of the "Christian school" at Alexandria.
The Codex Sinaiticus:
1. Somebody went to the 6th-century Monastery of Saint Catherine near Jabal Musa on the Sinai Peninsula.
2. Some monks were throwing away some old manuscripts dated 350 A.D.
3. These old manuscripts were the Alexandrian Text Type - it hadnt been used.
4. The year was 1844.
5. The old manuscripts were called the Codex Sinaiticus (manuscripts from Sinai).
6. The Codex Sinaiticus - stored in the British Museum.
The Codex Vaticanus - Stored at the Vatican in Rome, Italy.
Somebody else went to the libraries in the Vatican in Rome, Italy.
In the late 1800s, they found a manuscript the Romans had hidden.
This manuscript was called Codex Vaticanus after the Vatican.
It was an Alexandrian Text Type dated 350 A. D.
Among the manuscripts called the Codex Sinaiticus, are some manuscripts attributed to Barnabas.
Changes in the KJV since 1611.
Printing press invented in 1450 by Johann Gutenburg, printing done by hand. The first edition of the Bible had many printing errors.
1611 printed in Oxford, England.
1611 printed in Oxford, England.
1629 Printed in Cambridge, England said to be the first revision or edition a careful correction of printing errors.
1638 Printed in Cambridge, England said to be the second revision or edition - simply reinstated words and clauses overlooked by the 1611 printers and amended manifest errors. According to a study which will be detailed later, 72% of the approximately 400 textual corrections in the KJV were completed by the time of the 1638 Cambridge edition, only 27 years after the original printing!

New Kings James Version actually put out by Thomas Nelson, and should be called the Thomas Nelson version, not the New King James Version.
"A major reason for revision of the King James Version is the change since 1611 in English usage. (WWR - There is a failure of these "scholars" to mention that the King James Version has been revised (re-edited, not revised WWR 3-2-2006) at least 5 times since 1611. The version we use today is the 1867 revision.) Many forms of expression have become archaic the use of thou, thee, thy, thine and the verb endings -est and -edst, and the verb endings -eth and -th. The greatest problem, however, is presented by the English words which are still in constant use but now convey a different meaning from that which they had in 1611 and in the King James Version. The King James Version uses the word "let" in the send of "hinder," "prevent" to mean "precede," "allow" in the sense of "approve," "communicate" for "share," "conversation" for conduct," "comprehend" for "overcome," "ghost" for "spirit," "wealth" for "well-being," "allege" for "prove," "demand" for "ask," "take no thought" for "be not anxious," "purchase a good degree" for "gain a good standing," etc. (WWR - There is no doubt in my mind that some of these words could be undated with no harm to the King James Version, but there is no sense in "throwing out the baby with the bath water!")
It is not accident these new Bibles are coming along now toward the very end of this present church age. Satan is doing all he can do to remove confidence from God and place this confidence in the hands of the so-called "experts", who are deceiving and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
I used the following chart, (taken from Thompson Chain Reference Bible, page 1585) emphasizing the gap between "Early Copies" and all the Bibles before the "modern versions". If the gap is true, there is about 1900 years when this world had no Bible for English Speaking people.
The chart is very deceptive, as there should not be a gap between the "Original Manuscripts" and the Ancient Copies. The "Early Copies" are not build on the foundation of the "Original Manuscripts".
