True Christians are the disciples of Jesus, the Word of God.
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.
Man has confused the Word of God.
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians 14:33.
No. The modern "versions" are woke and improperly changed the "Holy Ghost" to "Holy Spirit", but changing the Word of God is never a good idea. The proof is here on this site, Saved.Church.
God is the Word, and the Word says there will be teachers in the Church.
- And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 1 Corinthians 12:28-29.
- And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Ephesians 4:11-14.
The teachers must teach, but not all people claiming to be teachers use the King James Bible as they should. Thus, not all teachers teach. The author of Saved.Church is a God-called teacher of the Word. He uses the King James Bible.
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."
1 Peter 2:8.
Beware of books authored by man.
The modern books called "versions" of the bible (not the King James Bible) have changed the "persona" of the Holy Ghost (the Father's spirit of truth), to the Holy Spirit, corrupting the Father's Word and causing confusion.
Yes. Ask anyone (including your pastor) why the "versions" of the Bible changed Holy Ghost to Holy Spirit and many will say because the King James is too hard, or they always mean the same thing when they don't. They do not always mean the same thing, and the scriptures of the New Testament prove it.
How did it happen?
God has an enemy in this world. The enemy does its works in and through mankind. When the later versions renamed the Holy Ghost to Holy Spirit they watered down the larger meaning of Holy Spirit that was supposed to mean all of God. The change also expanded the limited meaning of the Holy Ghost, meaning the Spirit of Truth-only the Father's spirit (truth). In so doing, they corrupted the Word of God and made it harder to understand, thereby causing confusion in the church.
Man is the author of confusion by corrupting the Word of God.
- 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; see also, Acts chapter 19.
The authors (and publishers) who made the change from the Holy Ghost to the Holy Spirit did that because they love money and the worldly power that goes with it.
- For the love of money is the root of all evil:... 1 Timothy 6:10.
The same holds true today! Many modern church leaders get rich by playing "Hide the Holy Ghost".
For clarity, we know that THE one Spirit the Bible speaks of is THE Holy Spirit meaning God, because God is a Spirit and only God is Holy. We also know the Father's spirit (lowercase "s" intended) is the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth. The Holy Ghost (Spirit of Truth) is a specific persona of God, and the Holy Spirit means all of Him. Thus, ALL (each and every) modern versions called a bible that uses the Holy Spirit instead of the Holy Ghost cause confusion! God (the Word) CANNOT be a source of confusion.
- For God is not the author of confusion,... 1 Corinthians 14:33.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way."
Romans 14:13.
Man's modern "versions" wrongly claim to be the Bible.
For example, any book titled “New King James Version” (above) is a copyrighted work derived from the original King James Bible (the Bible), which has been in the public domain and free of charge since 1611. Like the “New King James Version”, the "versions" of the bible are copyrightable works of authorship owned by a publisher. Most titles are federally registered brands (trademarks) associated with the sale of books the trademark owner calls a "bible."
Other than the King James Bible, all books claiming to be a version of the bible, including the book titled "New King James Version," improperly changed "Holy Ghost" to "Holy Spirit" and separated the individual from God. EVERY book that removed the term Holy Ghost is not reconcilable by what is written in it. They are simply not the Bible. Thus, the "New King James Version" is "vulgar" (archaic) by King James's standards; see pages 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, and 17 of the Introduction to the King James Bible (below).
No doubt, changing the King James Bible to create a "version" of it by replacing the Holy Ghost with the term Holy Spirit in the New Testament, among many other changes, corrupts the Word of God, but the publishers may make a lot of money.
The original King James Bible is the Word of God. It is reconcilable!
We proved it before we launched this site and let you reprove it by giving you the foundational basics of the Word.
AVOID THE "versions" that are not the King James because they Changed the Word of God.
For example, even the book being sold as the "New King James Version" changed the Word of God. The publisher of the New King James Version is HarperCollins, a for-profit company. HarperCollins changed the Holy Ghost to Holy Spirit, among other foolish changes made for money.
- 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.
Now, the publisher tries to fool people by trading off the name King James. In fact, they own a federal trademark registration to trade off the name of the original King James Bible, which has been in the public domain since 1611. By definition and law, trademark registrations protect brands for goods sold in commerce. However, the book associated with the New King James Version trademarks cannot be the King James Bible or the trademark couldn't be registered. That's trademark law!
- 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 "New King James Version" is a brand for a book that changed the Word of God and called it a bible to sell and make money and nothing more.
