In the beloved King James Bible, we read repeatedly that people “WORSHIPED” Jesus. I quoted Matthew 8:2 above as just one example. Unfortunately, all of the Devil's modern Bible revisions corrupt these passages, changing the word “worshipped” to “knelt” or “bowed,” diminishing and attacking Jesus' deity. I quote the correct King James Bible first below, and then several of the corrupted Devil's Bibles...
KJV - And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
ESV - And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”
ERV - Then a man sick with leprosy came to him. The man bowed down before Jesus and said, “Lord, you have the power to heal me if you want.”
AMP - And a leper came up to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to make me clean (well).”
CEB - A man with a skin disease came, kneeled before him, and said, “Lord, if you want, you can make me clean.”
CSB - Right away a man with leprosy came up and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
More ComparisonsWhy would all those Bible translators remove every mention of people “WORSHIPPING” the blessed Savior? The answer is obvious—because the Devil doesn't want you to WORSHIP JESUS!!! The Devil wants you to worship him instead. Look at all these famous people showing their allegiance to the Devil and coming Antichrist...
Matthew 4:8-10, “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”Please pay attention to the following Scripture passage from Mark 15:17-19, “And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.” Carefully notice the distinction between “BOWING” and “WORSHIPPING.” They are not the same Greek words. They don't mean the same thing!
This proves that the modern Bible revisions are utterly corrupt!!! The word “bowing” is the Greek word tithēmi, which means, “a place, i.e., the position of kneeling.” The word “worshipping” is the Greek word proskuneō, which means, “to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand.” As you can see, these are two very different meanings. In every place where the modern Bible revisions change “worship” to “knelt” or “bowed,” the meaning is proskuneō. In other words, they are removing every place where people worshipped the Lord, saying that they merely bowed down and knelt, lying to you! If God meant bowed, then He would have used the word tithēmi, which means to assume a bowing position. But the Divine Author chose to use the word proskuneō instead, which means TO WORSHIP!!!
One of the most ungodly, compromised and arrogant religious institutions in America today is Bob Jones University (BJU) in Greenville, South Carolina. A long time ago, when Dr. Bob Jones Sr. (1883-1968) was still at the ship's helm at Bob Jones College (founded in 1927), they were the citadel of Christian fundamentalism in the world! Today in 2020 BJU is as the sinking ship Titanic, drowning in the depths of apostasy and theological corruption, with Dr. Steve Pettit at the helm recklessly steering the ship into the deadly icebergs of Lordship Salvation and the Devil's Bibles!
Case in point is the English Standard Version (ESV) which BJU uses, sells, promotes and bids Godspeed to! Here is a comparison of Matthew 20:20...
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) - Matthew 20:20, “Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.”
ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION (ESV) - Matthew 20:20, “Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something.”The Greek word for “worshipping” in this Bible verse is (you guessed it), proskuneō! The mother of the sons of Zebedee came and WORSHIPED the precious Lord Jesus Christ! It is Satan who has tampered with the inspired Word of God, removing every mention of people worshipping the dear Savior. As we clearly see in Mark 15:19, “And they [soldiers] smote him [Jesus] on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.” Do you see it friend? The Bible makes a clear distinction here between BOWING and WORSHIPPING! So in every other place in the New Testament, where the modern Bible revisions change the potent word “WORSHIP” to a mere impotent “BOWED,” they are sinfully corrupting the Holy Scriptures! They have committed a woeful evil, perverting the Words of the Living God, desecrating the deity of our Great God And Savior Jesus Christ!!!
I Am Despised And Rejected Of Men For Telling The Truth
My own testimony is the same as Jesus' testimony, who was despised and rejected by people. Isaiah 53:3, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” I am now listening to the Old Testament minor prophet, Habakkuk, which is a tremendous book of the Bible. Habakkuk 2:16, “Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.” I immediately thought of Bob Jones University, and the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, when I heard this passage of Scripture: THOU ART FILLED WITH SHAME FOR GLORY!!!BJU and Harvest falsely think they are prospering, but like the thriving church at Laodicea, they are naked and blind and in denial (Revelation 3:15-16). BJU and Harvest have a false sense of pride!!! Their glorying is not good, because it is actually SHAME! Those who preach the Devil's heresy of Lordship Salvation ought to be ashamed, and they will be when they stand before God in eternity as unsaved reprobates (Matthew 7:21-23; they said, “LORD, LORD,” but they we're not His sheep).
In 2014, the former pastor of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, Dr. Marty Herron, taught me a Bible verse that I will never forget from Habakkuk 3:2b, “In wrath remember mercy.” I approached him in the main church auditorium after a Sunday evening service, and most people had already gone home. I had tears in my eyes, as I explained to him about my broken life. Pastor Herron kindly placed his hand upon my shoulder and said: “David, You deserve God's wrath, but He has shown you mercy.” He then prayed for me. I needed that compassion. I love Pastor Herron and he is a good man, as far as good men go. But he is deceived by the Devil, whose mentors are Pastor John MacArthur and Evangelist Steve Pettit.
Due to my proper King James Bible only position, and for justly exposing the Devil's corrupt Alexandrian Bibles, and for righteously refuting the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, as a true friend who TOLD THE TRUTH—Harvest's pastor sinfully reprimanded me in the church office, and I was forced out of Harvest in 2014! I left in uncontrollable tears. I missed their nurse so much who liked me, and I fell in love with her. Everything just came to a screeching halt, because I TOLD THE TRUTH! In 2017, in utter loneliness I humbly pleaded with Pastor Herron (and Pastors' Joe Hanson and Jared Baldwin) to please give me a second chance, and to please let me attend church services, but Pastor Herron cold-heartedly told me to “Go elsewhere.” That was an evil thing to say to me. Romans 14:10, “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” I had nowhere else to go as a born-again Baptist!
No doubt they think I should have let this matter go a long time ago, but this is my story. This is my life, good and bad alike! Acts 4:20, “For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” While they've all been playing church at Harvest since 2014, I haven't had a church family. God will hold them accountable. I love them unconditionally, but they don't care about me at all. The ministry is about serving, which is what the word “minister” means, “a servant.”Matthew 23:11, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Tragically, they only serve themselves at Harvest and BJU! People are not that important to them, but money is of the utmost importance!
Regardless of what they may say, I am living proof of what I just said. It is true! I begged for their compassion in 2017. I offered to humbly meet in the Pastor's office, and to comply with whatever it took to make things right with Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. Associate Pastor Jared Baldwin literally laughed in my face, and Associate Pastor Joe Hanson called me and Dr. Jack Hyles “a cult,” and Senior Pastor Marty Herron did what he does best—NOTHING! Pastor Herron cruelly told me to “Go elsewhere!” They left me for dead, when I desperately needed their love, help and guidance. Folks, these people are moochers! They parasite off of Christendom, but don't genuinely love or care about others. They only care about their little clique that pays their salaries. This is the apostate condition of today's ecumenical Baptist churches! This is the spiritually depraved condition of the Bob Jones University crowd nowadays! Did I mention that BJU is a cesspool of iniquity who are preaching Lordship Salvation? All they care about is the love of money (1st Timothy 6:10).
