Here, believe it or not, are the abbreviations for just SOME of the English Bible versions for sale on the market today. For example: the NIV is the New International Version, seen in the following list...
SUM OUT TIM ABP INT HEB PAR WRD PEO KJS CHI FUL SPL BAR CAL CLA DAR GIL GSB GUZ JFB KAD KJT MHC MHW SCO TSK WES NIV NLT ESV NAS GWT KJV ASV DRB ERV WEB WLC WLV WLO WLT BHS BHO BHT ALE PAL SEP SPU SPT VUL AKJ BBE DBY KJP OJB WBS NIV NLT ESV NAS GWT KJV ASV DRB ERV WEB WLC WLV WLO WLT BHS BHO BHT ALE PAL SEP SPU SPT VUL AKJ BBE DBY KJP OJB WBS YLTThe reason why there are so many Bibles is obvious:
First, because the Devil wants to confuse everybody (just like the Devil is doing with all the gender confusion today).
Second, because of the sinful love of money which drives the evil market of Bible-corrupters. 1st Timothy 6:10 teaches “FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.” Many people will do anything for money. This is why the Bible plainly teaches that NO MAN can serve God and mammon (money). Ye cannot serve God and mammon. You'll cling to one and hate the other, and there are no exceptions. Matthew 6:24, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.”I am one of the most hated preachers in the world. I am probably the most slandered and attacked Baptist preacher on the internet, which is to be expected in this untoward ungodly generation. Billy Sunday was hated by the ungodly liquor traffic too! I rejoice that I might receive a martyr's crown! Luke 6:22-23, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”
Every time someone criticizes and slanders me, my heavenly rewards are stacking up higher! Yeah buddy! I welcome all the hatred and persecution the Devil can hurl at me. Okay, not really. But the thought of rewards gives me something to ease the pain...lol. Seriously, with a truth-telling ministry like mine, you'd have to expect to be hated by a large portion of the planet. It comes with the territory (John 15:19). I just hand it all to Jesus, whether praise or persecution! To God alone be the glory, great things He hath done, and is doing!!!
So I'll continue to be the bad guy with the big mouth for the Lord. Somebody's got to care! Brother Hyles makes that very statement in his needful MP3 sermon called: 'I'm Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired.' The hallmark character trait of a Christian who is right with God is CARING. The TRUTH matters to a caring believer! Sadly, most pastors today don't care about the truth (and that includes independent Baptists), which is why they allow dozens of Bible versions, allow multiple plans of salvation. Nothing trumps the truth except love, but love is not truly love without truth! God knows that I love everyone and refuse to harbor ill-feelings toward anyone. I am simply trying to help others. Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
God knows that I have a tender heart of love and forgiveness. I let things go quickly. Kindly, I pray and wish Harvest Baptist Church on Guam wasn't so puffed-up, dense and proud, holding a grudge; and then there's the doctrinal mess at Harvest. I am nothing more than a lowly, lonely, heart-broken, tender-hearted, man, who needs to love and be loved, but today's churches are carnal. My many writings about Harvest Baptist Church are nothing more than the heart of a broken man crying out to be embraced and loved by my Christian brethren. So why don't they? One word—TRUTH!!! I told the truth, but they rejected it, so they have sinfully rejected and shunned me for it since 2014!!! I am looking for a wife, and by God's grace I'll find her, hopefully before I'm 80 years old...lol. Proverbs 19:14, “House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the LORD.”
We Need An Every Word Bible
It was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who quoted Moses from the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 8:3-4), reiterating the truth that man shall not live by 'BREAD ALONE,' but by 'EVERY WORD' that proceedeth out of the 'MOUTH OF GOD'...Matthew 4:1-4, “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”Ladies and gentleman, if we are to live by EVERY WORD of God, then we must have an EVERY WORD Bible. That means we must have a verbally-inspired Bible. “Verbally-inspired” means that EVERY WORD is inspired by God!!! “Plenary” means that the Bible is inspired in its entirety. So theologically, Independent Fundamental Baptists (such as myself) believe believe in the plenary and verbal inspiration of the authorized King James Bible!!! There is no other accurate Bible in the English-speaking language today!!!
God only authored ONE BOOK; not two, not 339, not 900!
As brother Daryl Coats so aptly says in his article 'The Two Lies:' “If the Bible was inspired only in the original manuscripts, no one in the entire history of the world has ever had an inspired Bible. The original autographs of Job and the books of Moses had disappeared more than a thousand years before the first book of the New Testament was written, so no one has ever owned a complete Bible made up of the 'divine originals.' Nor, has anyone ever owned a complete New Testament made up of 'inspired originals,' because the originals were distributed among more than a dozen individuals and local churches.”
