YES! it does. There are 40 Bible translations today that ADD, REMOVE or CHANGE what has been said.
LOOK AT THIS:
Jesus is made to look like a liar.
John 7:8-10 MISSING THE WORD "a YET"
English Standard Version (ESV) 8 You go up to the feast. I am not[a] ---going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”
KJV8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
What Jesus spoke is left out of this verse.
Luke 9:56New International Version (NIV) 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
NEW King James Version: 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.”[a] And they went to another village.
Here a whole verse is missing: (Verse 37)
Acts 8:36-38New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
36 As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?”[a] 38 He commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip[b] baptized him.
Acts 8:36-38King James Version (KJV)
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 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.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
A Certain Church Version Making Jesus another God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and the Word was A God.
John 1:1New King James Version (NKJV)
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John who wrote this was Jesus first cousin, son of Mary's sister Salome, who was also sometimes called Mary. His brother was James and his father was Zebedee. He was NOT John the Baptist.
Another Church Version that changes a verse of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day
4. Honor your father and your mother
5. You shall not kill
6. You shall not commit adultery
7. You shall not steal
8. You shall not bear false witness
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods
Exodus 20:2-17New King James Version (NKJV)
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
WARNING
What does God say about people changing his words???
"DO NOT TAKE AWAY FROM MY WORDS"
Beginning of Bible
Deuteronomy 12:32New King James Version (NKJV)
32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
Middle of Bible
Proverbs 30:5-6New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

The Very END of the Bible
Revelation 22:8-9King James Version (KJV)
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he(angel) unto me, See thou do it not: (don't bow to an angel) for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book! Worship God (only).
CHECK YOUR BIBLE!!
Jesus Died for Us - For You and For Me.
He Rose From the Dead and is Seated on the Right Hand Side Of God.
He Will Return and Judge.
I do understand why they have done it that way - or sort of - but I have one of those life application bibles which help a lot. Words can change the meaning for sure. sandie
ReplyDeleteWhen you really study it, you see the terrible wrong. xxx
DeleteHow can you (or any of us, for that matter) be certain that the King James Version contains the actual words given by our Heavenly Father's Holy Spirit to those called to place them into written form as His Holy Scriptures?
ReplyDeleteHow can you be sure it doesn't??? It is the oldest so when you read many of the translations and see the errors its astounding. Jerry did you actually look at SOME of the errors???? AND, there are many more than I put here.
DeleteI am a very spiritual Christian. I have been shown and told MUCH, that I could not possibly know on my own.
When my youngest daughter was 17yrs she left home. One day I received a word from God and quickly wrote it down so as not to forget. Getting the concordance out and looking for what I desired to find, it was in Proverbs3:5. At first I picked up my modern Bible, but the words were not as I was given. I then opened the KJ Version and the wording was exactly as given. So from that, I believe it is as authentic as possible. Blessings.
Do you remember how that modern version differed? The NIV version of it is: Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Deleteand lean not on your own understanding. The KJV has: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. I do not see a discernible difference. It is a verse we all should take to heart, by the way.
LOL... Its not that the modern version was wrong, but the wording wasn't exactly how I was given it in the spirit.
DeleteAt that time I didn't know the verse at all - now I do and it means much to me.
Men are more logical, women are more emotional.
To you (a man) the wording may be the same, but to me (a woman), I was given exactly as versed in the KJ version, so this proves to me - the authenticity.
Check out your NIV Luke 9:56 and see if Jesus words are left out.
As explained above... God says at the beginning, middle and end of the Bible that we are not to add to, or take away from his word!!!! ..... OR there will be punishment.
So... the person who translates and leaves out what is meant to be said, is sinning!!
Should this mean nothing to you, then you do not have a full belief of Gods Word.
I have been taught by our Heavenly Father something completely contrary to what you believe to have been. So, one of us has been woefully deceived.
DeleteWhat I have been taught is that none of the versions we have available to us are exactly accurate. For they were compiled from the copies of the copies of the copies of the original manuscripts, but except for those purposely rewritten by certain groups to promote their agendas, it does not matter. For our Heavenly Father gave His Holy Scriptures to serve as written confirmation of what He Himself personally reveals unto each and every one of us--not take His place.
Since His thoughts are so much higher than our own, His Holy Bible is just another ancient book without Him explaining what He means by this or that. Take the general understanding of the Word of God for example. Is it not true that your reference has Scripture in mind? The true Word of God is Christ Jesus Himself--not the book He Authored about Himself and His most awesome ways. Every Biblical reference to the Word is a reference to Him--not Scripture.
Alas, the reformation only really succeeded in replacing one idol (the church) with another (the Bible). It was an important step in the right direction, but it fell woefully short. Thankfully, our Heavenly Father is well able to overcome any obstacle. If He could change my mind about so many things--who can He not? Ah, but He will not force Himself upon those unwilling to humbly accept what He actually says is absolutely true.
Yes I understand. However, we need the Bible and as you say, Jesus is the word and we are to worship him in spirit and in truth. As such, we read the word to fill ourselves with the word.... Jesus himself quoted the word to satan while in the wilderness for 40 days and night. So, Gods word is important. The holy spirit was my main teacher when I was in a hard marriage for 30yrs. Jesus came to me when I was ill at age 34. My faith in the Lord does not waver.
ReplyDeleteOur Heavenly Father's Holy Bible is of immeasurable importance. For it is does indeed contain the sum-total of His Holy Scriptures. His very own words. However, we do not need it. We need Him, and He provided His words in written form to help us. Nonetheless, someone can know and understand everything He wants them to without ever seeing a Bible--let alone spend their entire lives in study of it.
DeleteWhat you are saying is very understandable. For I was taught the same things. I even pastored a small church for two years and preached such. I had no idea just who our Heavenly Father truly is then, nor did I know what He wants to accomplish in and through us. I now understand that He has been actually talking to each and every one of us since the womb, and when one truly become born-again, they become more and more acutely aware of such, with it all depending upon what He wants to accomplish in and through them as an individual. He is there for us first, and His Holy Scriptures are provided to help us understand. What I was taught was putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. It was placing everything upon the Bible to find Him, which is backwards.
Be assured that I am not trying to talk anyone out of studying Scripture. I am called to help as many as will to understand what is really going on. All I am doing is repeating and reinforcing (as being a further witness to) what our Heavenly Father has been already personally revealing unto someone. What I have been given to say is nonsense without Him being there first. Everything in the Bible is nonsense without Him being there first.
The vast majority of the Christian community has been conditioned to believe that our Heavenly Father (in any form) is not active in this world today. Hence, the critical importance for Christian preachers, teachers, missionaries and especially the Bible.
Sounds rather self-serving--does it not? For it is one thing for our Heavenly Father to want us to help, but it raises us unto an entirely different (much, much higher) level when He NEEDS us to. It is the same for the Bible.
I never thought in such a way before He started making Himself real unto me in 1993. this was 29 years after I had been "saved and baptized" as a Southern Baptist. I was just doing what I could to glory Him. I was wrong. I had been woefully deceived.
God bless you friend and brother. We who believe are all a part of the body. I will connect on FB.
ReplyDeleteI am not very active on Facebook, but that is increasing. Thank you for this discussion. Much good will come of it. All in accordance unto our Heavenly Father's will, of course.
