Why is it that the KJV Bible version gets some things right yet others so very wrong?! I shall tell you why. It is the wolf in sheep's clothes among Bible translations. Most other translations out there are very obvious corruptions as they use the corrupted Alexandrian(minority text) manuscripts where scriptures were purposely omitted and words were purposely removed or changed. People look at these and see the obvious wolf and they will cry wolf! But God's Word warns us to watch out for wolves in sheep's clothes not wolves! This means we need to look at those things which mostly closely resemble what we are looking for! The KJV version is supposedly based on the Textus Receptus, the majority text found in all manuscripts from the original scriptures. So by all accounts this should be translated from the most accurate source and people trust it for that reason! They however do not consider the fact that satan has had 2 millennia to corrupt that which was good to begin with. This is the very reason why we can only trust the original language versions of God's Word. The many translations into many different languages were corrupted either purposely or through ignorance. The KJV is one of those translations that was corrupted purposely, being commissioned by King James the founder of Scottish rite freemasonry it encompasses many key evil corruptions of the scriptures. There are many groups out there in the world that literally worship this translation and will deny the original languages in which God's Word was written. Yeshua is the True Word of God and as such we can only trust the original languages! The depth of your love for the Word of God will be what determines the outcome of the promise God gave us in John 16:13. How well you will know Yeshua is determined by your desire to seek Him in Truth and by His Spirit and as He is God's Word only the original will suffice. Translations are largely poor and corrupted and if you are too lazy to research the original languages it was written in(even though we have everything at our disposal today to know those original languages) you are just not interested enough to know the Truth, Yeshua is the Truth and He is God's Word! You are just not interested enough to seek Him then is the obvious conclusion here! Instead of reacting with malice in your hearts toward me for writing this try looking at yourself to see if this reads true in your life, I know it did in mine hence why I write this! Here is another clear example in God's Word which shows what I write here, the Greek is the original language in this case and the KJV version only translates the first verse correctly! Why is that? Because the second verse contains the deception! Read then the corrected translation and see exactly how it was twisted in the KJV! They took away the ability of the true believers to distinguish between false prophets and real ones, between false preachers and real ones, between real believers and false ones! This is why churches were formed, which Yeshua did not found! This is why many false doctrines have filled this world and that is why many will continue to be deceived because they do not truly want to seek out Yeshua who is the Truth, the Way and the Life!
Textus Receptus Greek:
1Jn 4:1 αγαπητοι μη παντι πνευματι πιστευετε αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα ει εκ του θεου εστιν οτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξεληλυθασιν εις τον κοσμον
1Jn 4:2 εν τουτω γινωσκετε το πνευμα του θεου παν πνευμα ο ομολογει ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα εκ του θεου εστιν
KJV version:
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Literal translation of the Greek:
1 Yochanan 4
1 Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits whether they be of God because many false prophets have gone out into the world
2 By this you know the Spirit of God, each spirit who is the same, as Yeshua the Messiah is in the flesh, comes from God.
Yeshua is perfect in the flesh and if we live according to the example He gave us we will also come from God! The Truth is not shown by way of words but by your actions, your obedience to God's commandments!
