Changing the Father's Word is a direct assault on Him, but it seems most people don't care. Nobody can justify changing the Word of God.
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.
There is no excuse for anyone who never bothered to learn of Him, Jesus-the Word, on their own.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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?
Yes. Before Jesus surrendered Himself to die on the cross, He prayed to the Father about our oneness with Him and with the Father through Him, see below. Now that Jesus lives in heaven, the Holy Ghost from the Father is the answer to Jesus's prayer (John, Chapter 17 below).
John, Chapter 17:
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
The Church is the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the church. Christ minds the things of the Spirit. The Word is God and the Spirit that gives man the power to become a child of God.
...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63.
Yes. Jesus said:
A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
