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.

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.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Dystopian Tech Startup Called Satyress Rolling Out Robot Called Threehalves Promising You’ll Become ‘Superhuman’
Preparing For Antichrist: The Horned Threehalves Robot From Satyress Shows A World Embracing Demonic Imagery, Artificial Intelligence And Superhuman Machines In Real Time
Threehalves is more than a bizarre engineering experiment, it is a sermon in steel preaching the dark gospel of the coming post-human world. A company calling itself Satyress has fashioned a seven-foot, horned, goat-headed monstrosity with the torso of a man, the body of a beast and mechanical arms designed to wield chainsaws and other instruments of power—all beneath the slogan “BECOME SUPERHUMAN.” They could have given it the neutral appearance of ordinary industrial machinery, but instead they deliberately clothed it in the imagery of the satyr and the Baphomet. That choice reveals how rapidly this generation is losing its natural revulsion toward the demonic, the grotesque and the unnatural. What previous generations would have recognized as an abomination is now photographed, promoted and applauded as innovation. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Threehalves is a chilling preview of the technological environment into which the Antichrist will step after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The world is being conditioned to communicate with artificial entities, obey voices coming from machines, surrender decisions to algorithms and accept mechanical bodies possessing strength far beyond that of human beings. Revelation foretells an image that will speak and cause those refusing to worship the beast to be killed; our generation is now constructing speaking images, autonomous weapons and robotic enforcers without giving a second thought to where those technologies may ultimately lead. The Antichrist will not arrive in a world unprepared for him, he will enter a world already trained to accept artificial authority, digital surveillance, manufactured reality and satanic power masquerading as human progress. Some of the people building this system undoubtedly understand the darkness they are invoking, while many others sincerely believe they are merely creating helpful technology. But conscious cooperation is not required when “the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” is steadily moving the whole world in the same direction. Artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital identification, programmable money, global surveillance and weaponized robotics are converging to prepare the operational machinery of the coming kingdom of the beast. Threehalves is only one garage-built prototype, but its Baphomet-like form provides a startling picture of the spirit behind that approaching system: man attempting to transcend the boundaries established by God, merging himself with the machine and calling the resulting abomination “superhuman.” The Church is not waiting for Antichrist—we are waiting for Jesus Christ—but while we await That Blessed Hope, we should clearly be warning a lost and dying world that the stage is being set, the machinery is being assembled, and the “night cometh when no man can work” is rapidly approaching. Your King James Bible mentions satyrs multiple times, and today we show you how all this connects on the end times timeline.

Operation Africa! Delivers Mattresses And Blankets To 84 Orphan Children In Kenya, Replacing Cardboard On Concrete With A Clean And Comfortable Place To Sleep Tonight
Earlier today at Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, what began as a burden, a prayer and a fundraising appeal became something these children could finally reach out and touch. The mattresses arrived. The blankets arrived. And because the people of God responded, 84 orphan children who had been sleeping on cardboard laid over a concrete floor now have a clean, soft place to rest. Look closely at the photograph. Those children are not standing around a promise of help that may come someday. The help is there, lined up across the orphanage grounds, still wrapped in protective plastic, ready to be carried inside and put to use. But first things first, they’re spraying the rooms for bedbugs.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27 (KJB)
This is what Operation Africa! is all about. It’s King James Bibles placed into waiting hands, clean water flowing where there was none, medicine reaching hurting children, and now mattresses and blankets for orphans who up to this point had been sleeping on cardboard and concrete. This is Bible-believing Christianity with its sleeves rolled up. To every NTEB’er who prayed, donated and shared the appeal, this is the fruit of your giving.
OPERATION AFRICA! UPDATE: Today, we delivered mattress and clean blankets to the 84 children at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya.

After Trump Was Smuggled Off Air Force One In A Catering Truck, Gulf States Now Accept That An ‘Obliterated’ Iran Controls The Strait Of Hormuz
The Catering Truck Escape Of President Trump Exposes How An Iran Declared ‘Decimated And Obliterated’ Remains Dangerous And In Control Of Hormuz Despite Months Of American Bombing
America was told that Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” but the truth of the matter is that when President Trump visited Turkey last month, credible threats from Iran forced the Secret Service to extract the president and smuggle him out hidden inside a catering truck, and flown to safety on an alternate Air Force One. As you let that sink in, ask yourself, what does that tell you? It tells me that we have been lied to about the Iran War from start to finish. How do you reconcile the endless boasting and bragging from the Department of War on how America “decimated” Iran with the mental picture of Trump and Hegseth hiding in a catering truck because Iran made some threats? The photo at the top of this article shows you the actual container that Trump and Hegseth were hidden in. This is beyond shameful and unacceptable, and as American patriots, we cannot, and must not, abide this deception any longer.
“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJB)
Faced with what American officials reportedly considered a credible Iranian assassination threat, Trump did exactly what the president of the United States should have done: he followed the security plan designed to keep him alive. The scandal is not that Trump got into the catering truck. The scandal is that America was repeatedly told Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” while the people protecting the president privately believed Tehran still possessed the reach, intelligence and operational capability to threaten his life in a NATO country. That’s the bombshell hiding underneath the sensational headline. According to a report published by the New York Post, President Trump publicly boarded the familiar blue-and-white Air Force One following the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8. Television cameras recorded the presidential departure, reporters boarded the plane, White House personnel took their seats, and everything appeared normal. But it was all a decoy.
A DARK DAY FOR AMERICA: President Trump was forced to sneak away, hidden in a catering truck, after threats from Iran caused panic. Let that sink in. Trump is hiding from the very same people he started the war with. Iran is very much in control. @POTUS https://t.co/tCBfo9SiOW
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 11, 2026
On the opposite side of the aircraft, Trump and several aides reportedly entered an elevated airport catering container. The container was lowered onto a truck, driven across the tarmac and raised to the door of a smaller Air Force C-32A military aircraft. Trump secretly boarded that plane while reporters and even some White House staff departed Turkey believing the president was flying with them aboard Air Force One. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was also aboard the secret flight, reportedly boarding separately to preserve the illusion of a routine military departure.
The operation was triggered by what a United States official described as a credible Iranian threat against Trump’s life. Israel had reportedly warned Washington of a possible Iranian assassination plot. The White House did not subsequently deny that the clandestine transfer occurred, instead saying that every available security measure was being employed to protect the president. Now, no responsible person should criticize him for following the security instructions of the Secret Service and the military. Presidents do not prove courage by unnecessarily exposing themselves to assassination. But Americans have every right to ask why, to demand why the private threat assessment differed so dramatically from the public victory narrative. This is absolutely a scandal that needs to be addressed.
Iran Was Bombed Into Rubble, But It Was Not Neutralized
The United States and Israel unquestionably inflicted catastrophic physical damage upon Iran. An April 1 Department of War fact sheet claimed that American forces had struck more than 12,300 targets, flown more than 13,000 combat missions and damaged or destroyed more than 155 Iranian vessels. Command centers, IRGC headquarters, intelligence facilities, air defenses, ballistic-missile sites, weapons-production facilities, communications networks and Iranian naval assets were hammered by the most technologically advanced military force on the planet.
Iran could not match the United States in the air. It could not match the United States at sea. It could not prevent American bombers and missiles from destroying enormous portions of its conventional military infrastructure. But destroying thousands of targets is not the same thing as winning a war.
A war is won when the enemy can no longer impose his will, threaten your interests or compel you to alter your behavior. Judged by that standard, Iran was in some respects devastated, but it was not defeated. It was damaged, but it was not disarmed. It was battered, but it was never neutralized. Iran absorbed the punishment, kept its regime alive and retained the weapons that mattered most: geography, asymmetrical warfare, assassination capabilities, mines, missiles, drones, regional proxies and control over the narrow passage through which a major portion of the world’s energy supply must travel. Washington won the bombing campaign. Tehran may be winning everything that came after it.
The Strait Of Hormuz Tells The Real Story
On July 28, the White House published remarks in which President Trump flatly declared, “Iran doesn’t control the Strait. We control the Strait.” Less than two weeks later, the Wall Street Journal published a report beneath this astonishing headline:
“Gulf States Accept a New Normal in Hormuz: Iran Is in Control.”
That isn’t a minor discrepancy, t is the difference between the victory Americans were promised and the strategic reality now confronting the Middle East. Persian Gulf energy producers are reportedly concluding that Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz could become permanent. They do not like it, and they do not necessarily recognize Tehran’s claims as legitimate. But they increasingly view accommodation with Iran as preferable to returning to a war that would bring additional Iranian missiles and drones crashing into their ports, pipelines, refineries and desalination plants.
An emerging agreement under discussion would reportedly place inbound shipping through Hormuz under Iranian oversight while Oman supervised outbound traffic. The agreement has not been finalized, and Washington remains opposed to allowing Iran to restrict international navigation. Nevertheless, Gulf governments are reportedly willing to contemplate formal Iranian oversight because the alternative may be another destructive regional war.
Think about what that means. The United States possesses aircraft carriers, submarines, stealth bombers, cruise missiles, surveillance satellites and enough firepower to demolish Iranian military installations repeatedly. Yet the Gulf states are concluding that all that American military power still cannot guarantee the uninterrupted movement of their oil and natural gas. Iran does not need to defeat the United States Navy ship for ship. It only needs to make commercial navigation dangerous enough, insurance expensive enough and Gulf infrastructure vulnerable enough that terrified governments begin negotiating for Tehran’s permission to conduct business. That is how an apparently weaker nation converts geography into strategic power.
America can control which ships reach Iran through its naval blockade. Iran can control whether ships belonging to the Gulf states move safely through the waterway. Washington possesses overwhelming firepower, but Tehran possesses the ability to create chaos at the precise point where the global economy can least afford it. We told you back in July of 2024, after Trump got his warning shot to his right ear, that God has put him in power as judgment on America. And so it is.
The Catering Truck Exposed The Truth
The catering truck operation now takes on tremendous symbolic importance. Trump and Hegseth spent months speaking as though Iran had been reduced to strategic irrelevance. But when intelligence officials warned that Iran might be targeting the president, the victory speeches stopped and the professionals went to work. Air Force One became a decoy. Reporters and White House personnel unknowingly became part of the deception. The president and his War Secretary disappeared onto another aircraft.
American intelligence and presidential security officials believed the threat was sufficiently credible to justify one of the most extraordinary presidential extraction operations in modern history. The government did not behave as though Iran had been obliterated, it behaved as though Iran remained organized, dangerous and capable of striking the president of the United States beyond its own borders. That is the reality Americans were not shown while administration officials were celebrating overwhelming victory. The public was given the number of targets destroyed. It was not given an honest assessment of the enemy’s remaining ability to retaliate. Tactical achievements were packaged and sold as strategic victory, while Iran’s most dangerous capabilities survived beneath the rubble.
Iran Lost The Battles But May Have Won The War
Iran never needed to defeat the United States conventionally, as such a victory was always impossible. But as the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. Iran’s realistic objectives were to survive, preserve the regime, impose unbearable economic costs, frighten the Gulf monarchies, keep the Strait of Hormuz under threat and force Washington toward negotiations without surrendering Tehran’s regional power. Measured against those objectives, Iran has performed far better than the American public was led to believe.
Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump promised us that America had won the war with Iran with “overwhelming victory”. Then they hid in a catering truck to escape when Iran threatened them in Turkey on July 8 at the NATO Summit. Nothing these people say is true. None of it. pic.twitter.com/EsyUIpUDGM

If the final settlement allows the Iranian regime to survive, gives Tehran formal authority over inbound shipping, produces sanctions relief and ends American military operations without eliminating Iran’s power to threaten its neighbors, then Iran will have achieved a genuine strategic victory despite suffering catastrophic battlefield losses. It will have lost its ships, missile batteries, command centers and military installations while gaining international recognition of the leverage it always wanted over Hormuz. That’s not Iran winning because it was militarily stronger. It is Iran winning because it endured longer, accepted greater pain and convinced its enemies that continuing the war would cost more than tolerating the new Iranian order.
In conclusion, we strongly urge you to disbelieve anything and everything told to us by the Trump administration going forward. They have proven to be patholoigical liars, incapable of truth, and only a complete defeat in the midterms will come close to stopping them. The Iran War is all but over now, America has been roundly humiliated, but worse than that, our enemies like Russia, China and North Korea now see how we can be defeated under Trump. And make no mistake, they’re coming.
