Rick, you should only read the scriptures in Hebrew and Greek.
Not a bad idea, that is how Jerome was able to translate as he learned Hebrew and was able to compare as had fluency in Greek.

The King James Bible states in 1st Timothy 3:16 that "GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH"; but the NIV waters it down to... 'he' was revealed but by not saying who, diminishing His deity and character..

Here is the NIV:
1 Timothy 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
"16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[a]was seen by angels,was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory."

and compare to the KJV which clearly declares Christ:
1 Timothy 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
"16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

Then we have in Philippians 2:6 of the NIV, Jesus is no longer EQUAL with God, but something else:

Philippians 2:6
New International Version (NIV)
"6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;"

and here is the KJV:
Philippians 2:6
King James Version (KJV)
"6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"

So why are you quoting the KJV and NIV instead of the Hebrew and Greek?

Are Adventist doctrines so fragile that one can't find them in a version other than the KJV?

Are we trying to see how close we can get to the edge of the cliff without falling off?

Originally Posted By: Ellen White
It was by deception that Satan seduced angels; thus he has in all ages carried forward his work among men, and he will continue this policy to the last. Should he openly profess to be warring against God and His law, men would beware; but he disguises himself, and mixes truth with error. The most dangerous falsehoods are those that are mingled with truth. It is thus that errors are received that captivate and ruin the soul. By this means Satan carries the world with him. But a day is coming when his triumph will be forever ended. {PP 338.3}

God's dealings with rebellion will result in fully unmasking the work that has so long been carried on under cover. The results of Satan's rule, the fruits of setting aside the divine statutes, will be laid open to the view of all created intelligences. The law of God will stand fully vindicated. It will be seen that all the dealings of God have been conducted with reference to the eternal good of His people, and the good of all the worlds that He has created. Satan himself, in the presence of the witnessing universe, will confess the justice of God's government and the righteousness of His law. {PP 338.4}

The time is not far distant when God will arise to vindicate His insulted authority. "The Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity." Isaiah 26:21. "But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He appeareth?" Malachi 3:2. The people of Israel, because of their sinfulness, were forbidden to approach the mount when God was about to descend upon it to proclaim His law, lest they should be consumed by the burning glory of His presence. If such manifestations of His power marked the place chosen for the proclamation of God's law, how terrible must be His tribunal when He comes for the execution of these sacred statutes. How will those who have trampled upon His authority endure His glory in the great day of final retribution? The terrors of Sinai were to represent to the people the scenes of the judgment. The sound of a trumpet summoned Israel to meet with God. The voice of the Archangel and the trump of God shall summon, from the whole earth, both the living and the dead to the presence of their Judge. The Father and the Son, attended by a multitude of angels, were present upon the mount. At the great judgment day Christ will come "in the glory of His Father with His angels." Matthew 16:27. He shall then sit upon the throne of His glory, and before Him shall be gathered all nations. {PP 339.1}


From the above statements one might reasonably conclude that a tainted Bible is more dangerous than an openly spiritualistic book.

As an old saying goes...

"A tablespoon of wine in a barrel full of sewage is sewage. A tablespoon of sewage in a barrel full of wine is sewage." The problem with the latter is that someone might not realize they would get sick by drinking it--if they did not detect that the sewage had been added.

I want to drink of the pure water of life, untainted by sewage.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

EGW: "It is thus that errors are received that captivate and ruin the soul." Is the error that we can only use the KJV, as it certainly has captivated some. Are the problems with various translations? Yep! Including the KJV. EGW used other versions. How could she drink such sewage? The issue is not what YOU read, it is what others want to read that don't know the truth. Do you condemn them for using a modern version, or do you use that version to teach them the truth? Are SdA beliefs that fragile? I think NOT!

APL,

I want you to teach me where in the Bible I'm told to fast in order to be able cast out demons to relieve someone of demonic possession. Use your NIV.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

I'm saved by accepting, loving and following Jesus. What about you?

Jesus told His disciples to fast and pray in order to cast out some demons. But according to your Not-Inspired Version, Jesus didn't say any such thing. This is a doctrinal omission and a grave error.

Perhaps you have not dealt with anyone who was demon possessed. I have. It happens in the world still today. And I treasure the instructions of Jesus, because I have also had the same experience that the nine disciples had who asked Jesus how to do it. He told them to fast and pray.

Does your NIV teach this? Try to find this doctrinal truth in it. Then remember what the Bible says:

"If they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them." If, therefore, your Bible has been purposely sliced and diced to remove a doctrine like this, it should be a big red flag. There is no light in it.

His falsehoods may seem to serve in emergencies; he may thus seem to make business advancement that he could not gain by fair dealing; but he finally reaches the place where he can trust no one.

Are we saved by works? That's a loaded question. We are saved by works--Christ's works. But we cannot be saved without our own works too.

APL,

Please tell us where in your NIV one can find Jesus' instructions to fast and pray to cast out demons.

Is this doctrine too fragile in your Bible--so fragile that it has already been broken? Is it only in the KJV and not in your NIV?

You are the one who asked the question about the fragility of our doctrines. Please point us to where this truth can be found in the NIV.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.
