"I am."

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.)

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."

Consider the following scriptures for yourself. Each replaces the Holy Ghost with the Spirit of Truth, which are absolutely interchangeable, according to Jesus (John 14:16-17, 15:26-27, and 16:12-14 above). Remember, Jesus IS the Word of God. The Word is written in the New Testament of the King James Bible.

Recall, in the King James New Testament the term "Spirit" and "Holy Spirit" mean the same thing. All other modern versions of the Bible that changed the Word of God by replacing the term Holy Ghost with Holy Spirit hide the importance of the Spirit of Truth and frustrate a proper appreciation of the importance of the Father's will.

Romans 8 does an excellent job of referring to the Spirit of God with a statement of connectivity to the born-again believer. Romans 8 is interlineated using brackets for clarity (below).

• So then they [people] that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye [the born again] are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God [the Word, the Holy Ghost, and the Father whom we know by His will] dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ [the Word], he is none of his [Jesus]. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit [the Word and the Holy Ghost according to His will] of him [the Father] that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he [the Father] that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit [the Word and the gifts of the Spirit by the Holy Ghost to do the Father's will] do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:8-14.

1 Corinthians 2 does an excellent job of referring to the Spirit of God and each, the Father whom we know by His will, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2 is interlineated using brackets for clarity (below).

• But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them [His children] that love him. But God [the Father] hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit [the Word and the Holy Ghost according to His will]: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God [the Father's will]. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit [will/truth] of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they [the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit] are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord [the Father and/or Jesus], that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
