Catholics and Others Rewriting the Bible

[BrotherLarry]

One of the primary things that drew me to the Landover Baptist community is our absolutely indisputable and unchangeable belief that the ONLY approved scriptural references are those found in the King James 1611 version of our Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the inerrant and inspired WORD OF GOD and is our roadmap (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Fake Christians - including Catholics, JW's, and most Methodists (Remember - Hellary Clinton is a self-proclaimed Methodist) use mamby pamby versions of the Bible, watered down so as not to offend.


Friends, there have even been attempts to feminize GOD ALMIGHTY by changing masculine pronouns to feminine. Ridiculous! My God scratches his balls proudly and come the Glory, HIS wrath will fall upon those who have desecrated His masterpiece, our Holy Bible.


A Catholic priest was speaking on the radio (my coworker has her radio on EWTN constantly) about how unimportant it was that versions of the Bible remove entire verses. He says it is "for clarity," and that "After all, the Bible is passed down from oral traditions, there are always improvements that need to be made - and, of course, the Bible is not the only source of information about the way to serve GOD. Mother Church and Her traditions have been an inseparable complement to the Sacred Scriptures. It takes BOTH to truly understand what it means to be a good Catholic and what it means to be a good Christian." HOGWASH! I have researched the mess that is the NIV and the "New World" JW trash and found the following shocking information. Friends, please PRAY as you read this:

WHOLE Bible verses deleted in the NIV

The following WHOLE verses have been removed in the NIV--whether in the text or footnotes...over 40 IN ALL!!!

Matthew 12:47 -- removed in the footnotes

"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

Matthew 21:44 -- removed in the footnotes

Matthew 23:14 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation."

Mark 7:16 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?

"And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."

Mark 16:9-20 (all 12 verses) -- There is a line separating the last 12 verses of Mark from the main text. Right under the line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12 verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.

Luke 17:36 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Luke 22:44 -- removed in the footnotes

Luke 22:43 -- removed in the footnotes

Luke 23:17 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)"

John 5:4 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

John 7:53-8:11 -- removed in the footnotes

Acts 8:37 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. It's deletion makes one think that people can be baptized and saved without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Sounds Catholic. What are you NIV readers missing?
"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 15:34 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still."

"But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,"

"And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves."

Romans 16:24 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."

I John 5:7 -- Vitally important phrase COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. In the NIV it says,

"For there are three that testify:"

Compare the NIV reading with the following Jehovah's Witness reading--

"For there are three witness bearers,"

What are you NIV readers missing? What does the real Bible say?

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE WORD OF GOD; I HOLD IT HIGH: KJV 1611! (Revelation 22:19) is not to be mocked or ignored!

Re: Catholics and Others Rewriting the Bible

Thank you, Brother Larry. This is so sad that some people can take the Word of God and instead of sharing it exactly as is, twist it into something that fits their needs.

Comparing verses that have not been deleted can also be a scary experience - there are plenty of verses that have been whitewashed to make our God look less cruel and vindictive.

It is reassuring, though, that there are some verses which meaning is so loud and clear that it cannot be erased by a pretty translation, such as Leviticus 20:13 (compare here different translations).

Re: Catholics and Others Rewriting the Bible

Many false preachers have had the idea to rewrite the Bible, thinking to bring glory on themselves. They hope to become the rock star leader of a false mega church and bring great wealth to themselves. History has proved conclusively that these apostles of falsehood are eventually consigned to the Fiery Pit, there to languish in agony for all eternity. While space in Heaven is limited, there is always room in Hell.
