Book excerpt: Rev. Dr. Timothy Tow said, "This latest book by Dr. Jeffrey Khoo is what the whole Church, particularly its leaders and Bible College teachers and students should read. It is an alarm bell to awaken the majority of uninformed believers to Satan's wiles during the last century to undermine the King James Bible by the spawning of a hundred new versions, the chief of which is the NIV. All these new "perversions" and the NIV are based on the corrupt text of Westcott and Hort." Dr. Jeffrey Khoo said, "There is a battle to be fought today. It is a battle for the Bible. The battle in the last century concerned the doctrine of Bible inspiration. In this new century, the battle concerns the doctrine of Bible preservation.

Download or read book Authorized written by Mark Ward and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Version has shaped the church, our worship, and our mother tongue for over 400 years. But what should we do with it today? The KJV beautifully rendered the Scriptures into the language of turn-of-the-seventeenth-century England. Even today the King James is the most widely read Bible in the United States. The rich cadence of its Elizabethan English is recognized even by non-Christians. But English has changed a great deal over the last 400 years—and in subtle ways that very few modern readers will recognize. In Authorized Mark L. Ward, Jr. shows what exclusive readers of the KJV are missing as they read God's word.#In their introduction to the King James Bible, the translators tell us that Christians must "heare CHRIST speaking unto them in their mother tongue." In Authorized Mark Ward builds a case for the KJV translators' view that English Bible translations should be readable by what they called "the very vulgar"—and what we would call "the man on the street."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The doctrine that the King James Version is the only authoritative Bible for English-speaking people has become known as King James Onlyism, taking on the characteristics of a sect. Using evidence from Scripture, history, theology, textual criticism, and ancient and modern Bible versions, this book demonstrates that this doctrine is of recent vintage, being unknown before the mid-twentieth century. It also demonstrates that conservative modern translations of the Bible equally support the cardinal doctrines of Scripture"--Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you get when you buy this volume? You get all six of the Works of Dean John W. Burgon, which in effect gives you an excellent introduction to Textual Criticism in The Traditional Text of the New Testament. In The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Gospels you will learn how the Gnostics, Manecheans, Ebionites, Ariams, and other heretics sought to halt the spread of Christianity by putting out corrupt manuscripts. Discover the motivation that caused the critics to elevate these adulterated manuscripts to a place of adoration. See for yourself the overwhelming evidence against the thousands of changes in the popular new versions that dilute the Scriptures. The Last Twelve Verses According to the Gospel of Mark shows that over 2,000 manuscripts and as many Greek lectionaries contain these verses without any brackets or doubting footnotes. Did you know that except for the NKJV, MKJV, LITV, the nine other major new versions have bracketed the last 12 verses of Mark (or in a footnote indicated that they do not believe they are authentic). WHY? It's a mystery. There are only three (3) Greek manuscripts that do not have these verses. And in 200 pages of proofs, Burgon shows that those two are so edited at the place where these verses belong that anyone can see the scribes were looking at these verses in the older mss. they were copying. As Dr. Gordon H. Clark wrote, If a version brackets these verses, then you know that they are not going by the evidence. The Revision Revised is a Critique of the English Revised Version of 1881, with additional applications to the Modern Translations. There is an excellent critique of the Westcott and Hort textualtheories. Proof of the Genuineness of God Manifested in the Flesh contains an unanswered and unanswerable defense of 1 Timothy 3:16.

Book excerpt: The Greek text of the New Testament, as prepared by F.H.A. Scrivener, with a gloss of words used thirty times or less in the margins. This edition also features the preface to the 1633 Novum Testamentum Graece, translated from the original Latin.From the publisher: "The publishers of this edition of the Greek New Testament appeal to our Reformed and Evangelical brethren to return to holding fast the Received Text of Scripture. Let all seekers of knowledge examine the growing body of argumentation in defense of the specific readings of the Received Text. Let defenders of the canon of sixty-six books received by the Church defend the traditional text of those books. Let proponents of the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, whose deserved place of primacy may soon be challenged, affirm a position of consistency in standing on the Received Text of the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. Let apologists for Christian orthodoxy refuse to cede to cults and false prophets the idea that the Christian Church throughout history used a corrupted original-language Bible in need of revision through new light. Let them rather defend the historic Scriptural text as a part of the defense of historic Christianity. Let all lovers of the peace and unity of the church contend that our common Head and Savior has not failed to preserve the text of the Bible, once for all laid up for safe keeping in the bosom of his Church. And let all men pray that God would continue to bless the proclamation of this preserved text of Scripture throughout the world, to the conversion of many souls, the sanctification of his redeemed people and the resounding praise of Christ's glory."
