The King James Bible is THE Bible since 1611.

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."

Yes. The King James Bible is the Bible. All other English language "versions" have changed the Word of God. How can "let's change the Word of God" ever be a good idea when the Word is God? Think of where we might be if we all had the exact same Bible and none other existed. 

So what happened? How did it happen? How did the specific term Holy Ghost refer to the Father's spirit/will get replaced by the Holy Spirit, a catchall term for the Spirit of God? What does the Bible say about this?

The love of money is the root of all evil. People (and publishers) who love money changed the Bible to sell books and cash in on religion. Changing the Word of God is, by definition, the root of evil because the Word is God.

• 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.

There is no excuse for anyone who never bothered to learn of Him, Jesus-the Word, on their own. 

• Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30.

Accordingly, many may miss their calling of God because the "version" of the Bible they follow prevents them from knowing the Holy Ghost is the means to communicate with the Father. 

• Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38.

Caution: Please do not replace Holy Ghost with Holy Spirit in your study of the New Testament. Doing so causes confusion. God is not the author of confusion.

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

Removing the Holy Ghost also gives rise to a cheap grace doctrine that avoids repentance and separates you from knowing the will of the Father personally and individually. 

• For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21.

Today, we are missing the signs and wonders, diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost because many people have no idea who or what the Holy Ghost is.

• Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Hebrews 2:2-4.

The enemy knows if it can hide an understanding of the Spirit of God, then some people will never find their true calling to share the gospel and others will be lost as a result. Think of it this way: 

• But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

Preachers who don't use the purest Bible, the King James Bible, do not know the Spirit as well as they could. Most, however, will double down in defense of their versions that removed the Holy Ghost because of pride, having determined the gain in rectifying the error isn't worth it, or they like being the middleman. Others are paid to endorse a substandard "version" proving they can be bought.

It's worth mentioning that many of the stalwarts rejecting the notion they should return to the pure Word were taught to use a version replacing the Holy Ghost with the Holy Spirit since their seminary days. The problem is that, like all institutions of higher learning, publishers sell their textbooks to the institutions and the professors. The King James Bible is free!

Thus, if a seminary uses a version of the Bible that changes the original scriptures of the King James Bible, the error gets passed along as evil is considered good. 

Comment: Please don't be one of those preachers, teachers, etc., who face Jesus in the end knowing you didn't share the purest form of Him to feed His flock. Read John 6:47-71 knowing the Word of God is God and the "bloodline" of Jesus is the Spirit. His flesh is the shewbread (spiritual food). If the Word is our spiritual food, why don't the members of the body of Christ demand the purest food, the pure Word of the King James Bible?
