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.

Yes. Any church institution in our communities at large that uses a book they call a Bible but has removed the Holy Ghost has opened the door to the spirit of error, the enemy.

For example, some churches within our communities use the English Standard Version (ESV). The ESV itself is full of errors.

The English Standard Version (ESV) is a version of the English language Bible. The author of the ESV changed the Word of the King James Bible (KJB) to make the ESV. Never forget, the KJB is the basis for all the 60+ watered-down versions that came after it. 

To easily see the error, we must start with the background understanding that the KJB and the ESV agree on. From there, you will see their departure from the truth, and their actions are ignorant of the truth or hide it, both literally and figuratively.

Both the KJB and ESV agree on all of the following points, even though they may present them differently.

1.  God is a Spirit and mankind is flesh.

• God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24.

2.  If we believe God is the Holy One, all of Him must be Holy. Thus God is the Holy Spirit. Now, consider:

• In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:1 and 14.

3.  The Word partially comprises God, and thus at least partially comprises the Holy Spirit. 

• Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23.

4.  Jesus knew that a part of Him was God.

• [Jesus said:] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6.

5.  Jesus was both the Son of God and the Son of man. In fact, Jesus referred to Himself as both the Son of man and the Son of God!

• [Jesus also said:]...Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19; Matthew 19:17.

6.  Thus, there must be a good (Holy) part and a not good (unholy) part. The Son of man is of the flesh and perishable, and the Son of God is the Holy Spirit and eternal.

• And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke 10:18.

Obviously, for Jesus to see Satan fall from heaven at a time before He was born means that He must have known He is the Word of God as the Son (offspring) of God. 

• Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5.

Whoever overcomes the world does so believing Jesus is the Son of God, the WORD!

_______

NOW, this is where the ESV and ESV churches go off the rails like the blind leading the blind. 

From the King James Bible (KJB), :

• 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 John 5:5-8.

The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Truth!

From the English Standard Version (ESV), 1 John 5:5-8.

Please read and compare carefully.

"5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

6 This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree." ESV 1 John 5:5-8.

The ESV churches removed the witness, testimony, and record of God in heaven from the Holy Scriptures, the Word. They cut out a chunk of the Son of God, the very Word that made Jesus the Christ, our Savior, and threw it and Him away. Repent! 

Proof:

"The English Hexapla" of the New Testament was originally published by Samuel Bagster and Son, England, in 1841. The English Hexapla contains all six of the original English-language New Testaments. They are: Wyclif (1380), Tyndale (1534), Cranmer (1539), Geneva (1557), Rheims (1582), and the King James (1611). 1 John 5:7, in all six of those earliest English translations, AGREE!

The Father, the Father's Word, and the Holy Ghost bear witness, record, and testify in heaven!

Yes. The English Standard Version does not know what the Spirit is!

John 7:37-39, from the King James Bible (KJB):

• In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 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.) John 7:37-39 KJB

The reference to the Spirit in the passage above is the Holy Spirit of course. More specifically, it is the Word of God part of the Holy Spirit which we get by believing on Jesus, the Word of God. The Holy Ghost was given to indwell man after Jesus went to heaven.

Now, compare: 

Matthew 12:18, from the English Standard Version (ESV):

 "Rivers of Living Water"

• On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 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. John 7:37-39 ESV.

The ESV says man does not receive the Spirit in any capacity until after Jesus went to heaven. ESV is in error, knowing the Word is the Son of God, in Jesus the Christ!

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.

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. God (the Word) CANNOT be a source of confusion.

• For God is not the author of confusion,... 1 Corinthians 14:33.

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 changed from the Holy Ghost to the Holy Spirit did so because they love money and the worldly power that comes with it.

• For the love of money is the root of all evil:... 1 Timothy 6:10.

Thus, ALL (each and every) modernized versions called a bible that uses the Holy Spirit instead of the Holy Ghost cause confusion! 

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.
