Why I Am A King James Bible Only Christian Has Nothing To Do With The Greek, Hebrew, Or Any Other Movement, Group, Organization Or Individual

This is why I have been King James only for 30 years now, and why I will not ever, by God’s grace, move from that foundation at any point in the future.

Funny thing, though, whenever I picked up an NIV or some other modern translation, it didn’t speak to me, it felt like I was holding a balloon that was rapidly leaking air. I can’t explain that, I only know that’s what happened.

A few weeks ago, we opened up the NTEB Bible Believers Bookstore here in Saint Augustine, and the Lord is blessing us with favor in the community and online as sales remain encouraging and steady. But more than a few people who have visited the store have asked why we don’t sell any other bible or commentary other than the King James. The answer is really quite simple, and I would like to share my thoughts with you on that today.

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJB)

I didn’t come to be a King James Only Christian because of any one charismatic bible preacher or teacher, and I was not introduced to the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement until years after I was saved. I became a King James Only Christian on March 14th, 1991, because I held that Book in my hands, read it, believed it, and got saved. That Book spoke to me, and God allowed me at once to see that it was the truth. Now, I didn’t know any Christians, no one ‘led me to the Lord’ other than the Holy Spirit, and I had never set foot inside a Christian Church. All I had was God, the King James Bible, and salvation. I was blissfully unaware that the ‘King James Only Controversy’ was even a thing.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 (KJB)

After getting saved, things happened quickly. I soon found myself in a small, non-IFB Baptist Church, where the pastor was not King James only. But that made no mind to me because I had my bible and no one was going to talk me out of it. Funny thing, though, whenever I picked up an NIV or some other modern translation, it didn’t speak to me, it felt like I was holding a balloon that was rapidly leaking air. I can’t explain that, I only know that’s what happened.

I began to read Christian literature and biographies of great men that God used like DL Moody, Robert Sheffey and others, and what did I find? I found them all to be King James Bible people. I had little to no interest in most of the ones in the 20th century other than people like Clarence Larkin and Peter Ruckman, and when I got to that stage in my journey, it was there I was introduced to the raging battlefield that is the IFB Movement. But following sound advice to ‘eat the meat and spit out the bones’, I soon made substantial progress.

One thing that puzzled me was why nearly all of the ‘brain boys’, the Greek and Hebrew scholars, all seemed to be highly critical of the King James, and nearly all of them defaulted to versions like the NIV, ESV and others. Why would such smart people want a book that, to me, had no power? Good question, we’ll answer that in a bit. One day, I thought it would be fun to compare scripture in the King James with scripture in the NIV, and what I found shocked me.

King James Version – KJV
New International Version – NIV
Why did Jesus come to earth?
Luke 9:56
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

…I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
For whom did Jesus die?
I Cor. 5:7

I Cor. 5:7
…Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
In Whom must you believe to be saved?
John 6:47
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Was Joseph really the father of Jesus?
Luke 2:33
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Luke 2:33
The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.
Did Jesus give His disciples power to heal?

If it’s hard to do, should we just remove it?

(missing)
Who is in charge?
I Cor. 10:28
…for the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof:
I Cor. 10:28
(last part of verse missing)
How must we deal with our enemies?
Matt. 5:44
…Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Matt. 5:44
…Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Where did Jesus go?
John 16:16
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John 16:16
In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.
Is it John or the Devil?
Revelation 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:1
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

I don’t know how to explain that, do you? And what you see there is only a few examples, there are hundreds and hundreds more. How could there be such a great discrepancy between the King James and the NIV? Was it done out of ignorance, was it intentional, what was behind it all? Those questions would be answered when I bought my first copy of ‘New Age Bible Versions’, and read the amazing, Holy Spirit-led research done by Gail Riplinger. I highly recommend you get yourself a copy, we happily sell it at the bookstore.

Do you know the one thing that all bible versions over that past 410 years have in common? I bet you don’t. The one thing that all bible version from the King James on forward have in common is that they are all different. Common sense and logic would dictate that things that are different cannot be the same. So if they are all different, which one is the one where God has preserved His word? Since the word of God cannot contradict itself, can you show me where God has preserved His word? I can. Now look at the following verses from Psalm 12 in the King James and in the NIV. The King James gives you a promise that God will preserve His word on earth for all generations, and then the NIV swoops in and erases that promise! See for yourself.

  • GOD’S PROMISE TO PRESERVE HIS WORDS IN THE KJB: “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 (KJB)
  • GOD’S PROMISE TO PRESERVE HIS WORDS REMOVED: “And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold[fn] refined seven times. You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,Psalm 12: 6,7 (NIV)

If you’re a bible believing Christian who loves the Book, that one example alone should make you fighting mad, does it?? The King James in verse 7 gives you God’s absolute, rock-solid promise to preserve His words throughout every generation, that’s a huge promise! What does the NIV do? It erases it and substitutes it with meaningless nonsense that has nothing to do with preservation of scripture at all. Verse 7 in the NIV is not anything at all like verse 7 in the King James. I’m from New Jersey, we call this a scam, the old ‘bait-and-switch’. Verse 7 in the King James is talking about the preservation of words, verse 7 in the NIV is talking about the preservation of people. Not even remotely close on any level.

This is why I have been King James only for 30 years now, and why I will not ever, by God’s grace, move from that foundation at any point in the future. I hope you have enjoyed this snapshot of my faith in the King James Bible, and who knows, maybe this will become an ongoing series. But let me challenge you today to pick one modern bible where you think God has preserved His words, there can be only one, and defend your choice by comparing it to the King James. If you do it honestly and before the Lord, you will come to the exact same conclusion that I came to.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

Please continue to pray for us, and for wisdom for me especially, as we continue taking steps to print the NTEB branded King James Bible for our free Bible and Bibles Behind Bars program. It is exciting and intimidating at the same time. If the Lord has prospered your financially, we ask you to donate to help us continue to send out free Bibles at this level, and even higher than we are at the moment. It takes a lot of prayer, and a lot of resources to do all this. Praise the Lord we are doing it, all of us together, labouring in the Lord’s harvest field. TO THE FIGHT!!!

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORTTO THE FIGHT!!!

End Times Villain Bill Gates Says That AI Will Replace Humans In ‘Most Things’ Who Will No Longer Be Needed In The Coming Dystopian Future

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won’t be needed ‘for most things’

At the end of the 19th century, there was an explosion of technology that was unprecedented in human history, as if a spirit had risen and had given man a form of wisdom not previously possessed. This massive increase in available knowledge was prophesied in the book of Daniel and guess what? We again experiencing a level of unprecedented intelligence and this time it’s the artificial kind. AI is preparing this world to receive the counterfeit king the Bible calls Antichrist, and predictably, Bill Gates is front and center in the end times action.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJB)

Christian, we are living in the most technologically-advanced civilization of all time, but you’d do well to put your nose deep into your King James Bible, the scripture of truth, if you want to find out what’s really going on. The book of James 3:13-18 (KJB) tells us that there is a wisdom that comes from above and is pure, peaceable and gentle. That’s the Bible and the Holy Spirit. But there is another wisdom that is not from above, but is earthly, sensual and devilish. That’s AI and the tech titans. Can you tell the difference between the two? You can if you have a King James Bible and the Holy Spirit.

Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world, says Bill Gates.

FROM CNBC: That’s what the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in February. At the moment, expertise remains “rare,” Gates explained, pointing to human specialists we still rely on in many fields, including “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”

But “with AI, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace — great medical advice, great tutoring,” Gates said.

In other words, the world is entering a new era of what Gates called “free intelligence” in an interview last month with Harvard University professor and happiness expert Arthur Brooks. The result will be rapid advances in AI-powered technologies that are accessible and touch nearly every aspect of our lives, Gates has said, from improved medicines and diagnoses to widely available AI tutors and virtual assistants.

“It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.

The debate over how, exactly, most humans will fit into this AI-powered future is ongoing. Some experts say AI will help humans work more efficiently — rather than replacing them altogether — and spur economic growth that leads to more jobs being created.

Others, like Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, counter that continued technological advancements over the next several years will change what most jobs look like across nearly every industry, and have a “hugely destabilizing” impact on the workforce.

“These tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence,” Suleyman wrote in his book “The Coming Wave,” which was published in 2023. “They will make us smarter and more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor replacing.” READ MORE

Sleek New $143 Million Maine Correctional Center In Windham Has Everything But King James Bibles As Chaplain Issues Request For Assistance

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Sleek new $143 million Maine Correctional Center in Windham opens after four years of construction with everything but King James Bibles and we’re fixing that

The new Maine Correctional Center in Windham officially opened in 2023 on the grounds of the former prison, which was more than 100 years old. The new facility is a medium security facility with a capacity of 566 male residents and 54 female residents, not including the Women’s Center. It looks more like a hotel than like a prison, is equipped with all the latest amenities, and provides ample opportunities for education, rehabilitation, and treatment services for all of the incarcerated population. Sounds pretty good. What doesn’t it have? King James Bibles, and we’re fixing that.

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJB)

Chaplain Daniel reached out to us a few days ago and said “I have many unmet requests for KJV Bibles in this facility and I am looking for resources that may help meet this need. Thank you.” You can look all you like, but organizations that will send out large print full King James Bibles are few and far between. That’s why God raised up Bibles Behind Bars, to meet the ‘unmet requests’ for King James Bibles that come from so many jail and prison chaplains across the country. Come help us to send out a couple hundred KJVs to Chaplain Daniel at the Maine Correctional Center, Chaplain Lison at the Sweetwater County Detention Center in Wyoming, and all the others who write to us on a regular basis looking for help from Florida all the way up to Alaska. We need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

European Union Chief Tells All 27 Member States To Prepare For World War 3 With Supplies And ‘Survival Kits’ As War With Russia Grows Ever Closer

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The European Union is ready to order all of its citizens to prepare survival kits with 72-hours worth of supplies in the face of a looming World War 3 threat as NATO warned Russia it faces a “devastating” revenge strike if they attack any part of the EU

With each passing day, the drumbeats of war grow louder and louder as a military conflict between the European Union and Russia now seems unavoidable. NTEB has told you from the beginning of the war in Ukraine, that Putin is not trying to win the war, his goal is to keep it percolating at a nice, little simmer until he can draw everyone else into it. Last week, it was just the nation of France issuing the World War 3 ‘Survival Guide’, and today it’s all 27 member states who will get them. That’s progress, and that’s the memo.

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

The headlines are also blaring a possible coming conflict between the United States and Iran, warning signs include but not limited to military buildup, Iranian proxies, sanctions, military muscle flexing, and imposed deadlines. The Trump administration seems intent on two things at the moment. One, they want to impose a ‘peace deal’ on Ukraine negotiated with the Russian without Ukraine input, and two, a military conflict in the Middle East. In the meantime, Putin sits fat and happy watching the rest of the world readjusting itself to suit his agenda.               

EU to order ALL citizens to ready WW3 survival kits as NATO warns Putin faces ‘devastating’ revenge if he attacks Europe

FROM THE SUN US: European Union bureaucrats are pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to prepare the kit for war and natural disasters. It is expected that will be part of a union’s broader “preparedness strategy” amid the threat from Russia. Key items they will ask the bloc’s 450 million citizens to gather includes water, energy bars and a flashlight.

And meanwhile, NATO boss Rutte issued one of his strongest rebukes to Putin yet as he vowed a “fierce” response to any attack on Europe. Speaking in Warsaw, Poland, the ex-Dutch Prime Minister warned of any settlement to end the war in Ukraine that would be “favourable” to Putin.

He said: “Eastern Europe fear such an outcome would allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to rebuild his country’s forces and threaten other countries in the region in the coming year.”

“If anyone were to miscalculate and think they can get away with an attack on Poland or on any other ally, they will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance. Our reaction will be devastating.”

“This has to be very clear to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and anyone else who wants to attack us.”

Rutte’s comments come as Europe has been put on notice by the White House – with new US President Donald Trump determined to find a quick end to the war in Ukraine and putting Europe on notice. Trump is calling on Britain and the EU to up their military spending so they no longer have to “rely” on the US for protection.

Elsewhere, in a chilling show of force, the Kremlin fired the cruise missiles from its Ufa attack sub in the Sea of Japan. Russian state media boasted claims that the missiles hit a land target over 620 miles away in the Khabarovsk region, as well as a naval target. And after the agreement yesterday of a ceasefire in the Black Sea, both Russia and Ukraine accused the other of breaching the deal.

President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of “manipulations and threats” and warning: “We don’t believe them. The world really doesn’t believe Russia.” Zelensky added: “Unfortunately, even now, even today, on the very day of negotiations, we see how the Russians have already begun to manipulate.” READ MORE
