Children of God study the Father's Word.

The most reliable Bible is, without a doubt, the King James Bible. It is also the ONLY New Testament that can be reconciled using only its words. 

Furthermore, despite what so many for-profit publishing companies would have you believe and the numerous faulty references to the King James Bible as a "version" as if the Word of God has many variants from which we can pick and choose, the King James Bible and New Testament are NOT a "version." The King James Bible IS the Bible, and all others are the "versions". ALL the "versions" cannot be reconciled by the words written in them. This fact should cause great concern if you want the truth. 

The King James Bible was given to the public from the day it was produced. It's free and has been since 1611, long before the "versions." People and publishers changed the Word to make money selling copyrighted books to cash in on religion, and in doing so, they separated man from the Father. 

• For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Proof: "The English Hexapla" of the New Testament was originally published by Samuel Bagster and Son, England. It is now hard to find and available as print-on-demand only. The English Hexapla contains all six of the original English language translations of the New Testament. They are: Wyclif (1380), Tyndale (1534), Cranmer (1539), Geneva (1557), Rheims (1582), and the King James (1611). Not surprisingly, all six are almost word-for-word identical, and each is consistent with respect to the trinity of God and the use of the term "Holy Spirit" to mean the Spirit of God, the "Spirit," comprised of the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. Thus, the reliability of the King James New Testament cannot be successfully challenged.

Yes. Since it was written in 1611, the King James Bible (the "Bible") is the foundation for all the later "versions" of the Bible, as mentioned previously. All of the versions are "derivative works" (a copyright law term) written by others who changed the Word to create a new "version."

In copyright law, a "derivative work" is a work of authorship that is derived from a previous work. The derivative work cannot be distributed or sold unless the previous work from which it was derived is in the public domain, such as the King James Bible, or the author/owner of the copyright to the previous work grants permission. That's also why we see so many "versions" get "updated" over time. It's an opportunity to sell another book because your edition is outdated. The King James Bible is never outdated. 

(Note: The Bible must be timeless, meaning the scriptures must consistently present God's identity throughout, covering the past, present, and future of human history even though He reveals Himself differently as history progresses. This is where the context of the scriptures is important. Please use the King James Bible. If all believers did that, we would all be in one mind and one accord, and great revival would occur.

Beware: The attached document (bottom of this page) briefly lists the versions that changed the Word of God.)

Yes. The term “Holy Ghost” is used 89 times in the New Testament of the King James Bible. [H]oly Spirit is used four times in some form. The term “Holy Spirit” is used once, and the term "holy Spirit" is used three times. The context of every use is significant, and don't forget that the Word is timeless. (Underlining emphasis is added to the text below.)

Jesus used the term Holy Spirit to describe the entire Spirit of God as the good gifts from the Father, the origin of the Holy Spirit of God. The term wasn't used to limit the context to the Holy Ghost, or the term Holy Ghost would have been used. See John 7:39.

• If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13. 

Paul the apostle used "holy" as an adjective. The use is not limited to the Holy Ghost.

• For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:7-9.
• [Interlinerated for clarity] In whom [Jesus] also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him [the Father] who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will [the Father's will we come to know by the Holy Ghost]: That we [the born again of that holy Spirit of promise] should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise [the Word and the Holy Ghost], Which is the earnest of our inheritance [sonship by the Spirit as a chosen of God the Father, the essence of the promise] until the redemption of the purchased possession [the saved individuals], unto the praise of his glory [to dwell forever in the kingdom of His counsel called Heaven]. Ephesians 1:11-14. [Interlineated for clarity].
• And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.

No. "Holy Spirit" can mean the Father, the Word, the Holy Ghost, and any combination of the three. The Holy Ghost means the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth. Changing the Holy Ghost to the Holy Spirit causes confusion.

Reproof: If the versions can change “Holy Ghost” to “Holy Spirit” as if they were interchangeable, what about changing the one occurrence of “Holy Spirit” and the three instances of "holy Spirit" to “Holy Ghost”? If we made those four changes, the Word would change significantly because the context of the above verses would incorrectly limit the Spirit only to the context of the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of Truth).

Result: Confusion results from changing the Holy Ghost to the Holy Spirit.

• For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33.

Changing the Word of God corrupts it, causing confusion and quenching of the Spirit. 

• Quench not the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19.

Webster's 1828 dictionary defines "Quench" as: "1. To extinguish; to put out; as, to quench flame. 2. To still; to quiet; to repress; as, to quench a passion or emotion.

3. To allay or extinguish; as, to quench thirst. 4. To destroy. 5. To check; to stifle; as, to quench the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19."

In all circumstances involving a "version" other than the Bible, the King James, please use your version alongside the King James Bible. A digital copy is provided below if you need one.

Why? Your New Testament cannot be reconciled using only the words in it. Even worse, if it removed the term Holy Ghost as written in the Bible, it will never directly teach you how the Father wants to communicate with you as an individual. 

The Holy Ghost is the way we come to know the Father on earth. The enemy has tried to hide that fact by seducing men to change the Word for money, power, prestige, fame, influence, etc.; all the fleshly stuff the enemy uses to tempt people to sin.

Think of it this way: were the authors of the "versions" really led by God to change His Word and, in some cases, hide Him from us by removing the references to the Holy Ghost? Did mankind think He could improve the Word they thought was insufficient?

Yes. 

Using what you know now, compare your version to the King James New Testament by looking for the use of Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, holy Spirit, and Spirit. We know the Spirit (of God) is most certainly holy ("Holy"). Many of the most popular versions are listed by acronym and identified in the key at the bottom. 

Also notice the oddities in the key. Oddly, there is an NIV and a NIVUK. Does that mean the people in the UK have a different NIV than America, when proper English came from the English? Publishers change the Word for money. Please do not forget that fact.

• For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10.)

(The examples we provide on this site are definitely NOT the only examples of how the "versions" have corrupted the Word.)

Correct:

• ...If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) King James Bible, John 7:37-39. 

Note: The use of Spirit in the first instance of the verses above refers to the Word of God as the Spirit. The Spirit is available instantly for us to partake of (drink) through the Word of God and shall flow from us if we believe in Him, Jesus the Word. The Spirit isn't postponed, or nobody could be born again in their lifetime on earth. We are born again by (according to) the Word of God.

• (But this spake he [Jesus] of the Spirit [the Word as the statement of the Father's will], which they that believe on him [Jesus-the Word] should receive: for the Holy Ghost [Spirit of Truth] was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified [raised from the dead].) King James Bible, John 7:39, (interlineated for clarity). 

______________________

EVERY time the King James Bible uses Holy Ghost it gives the proper context. To replace the Holy Ghost changes the context, corrupts the Word, prevents learning of Him, and separates man from the Father. See for yourself. I'll do a few to point out the problems.

Correct:

• (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) King James Bible, John 7:39. 

AMP (confusing):

• But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

[The bracketed language is in the Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, CA 90631. All rights reserved.]

The obvious problem: Is the [Holy] Spirit the Holy Ghost, and is the second use of the word Spirit "unholy"? What does afterward mean? After what?

ESV (confusing): 

• Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

English Standard Version (ESV) Copyright ©2001 by Crossway Bibles. 

The obvious problem: Was the Spirit given or not? The ESV suggests the Spirit was not yet given, but it had been given as the Word of God. 

NKJV (confusing): 

• But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

New King James Version (NKJV) Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. 

The obvious problem: Is the first use of "Spirit" holy or not? Is it the same "holiness" as the Holy Spirit? Can Holy Spirit also mean the Word or the Father? If not, why replace the Holy Ghost with the Holy Spirit, knowing the change is unnecessary and may cause confusion?

Comment: The for-profit company Thomas Nelson Publishers owns the copyright and earns a profit, selling scriptures that are different from the original King James Bible which is free and always has been. 

AMPC (confusing):

• But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation.

The obvious problem: If the [Holy] Spirit can be the Word, the Holy Ghost, and/or the Father and it isn't the first use of Spirit, is the first use "unholy," or can it be the Holy Ghost which we know had not been given? If [Holy] Spirit means Holy Ghost, why change it? Comment: The AMPC is a copyrighted work a publisher owns. They alone made six different versions of the Bible!

NIV (confusing): 

• By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

New International Version (NIV) of the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

The obvious problem: The Spirit is given the moment we believe. That Spirit (the Word) leads us to repentance and becoming born again, saved.

Comment: The NIV is blasphemous because it says we don't get the Spirit until later, whenever that is, but the living water is in us the moment we drink (partake of the Word), and it flows from us for others to drink the moment we believe.

• And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Matthew 10:42.

ASV (confusing):

• But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified. 

The obvious problem: The ASV suggests the Spirit was not yet given, but it had been given as the Word of God. 

DARBY (confusing):

• But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

The obvious problem: Was the Spirit available or not? The DARBY version creates confusion. The Spirit was given as the Word of God.
