What Is That In Thine Hand?

Exodus 4:2, “And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand?  And he said, A rod.”

You can identify religious churches by the corrupt Bible versions they allow, use and refuse to expose. My friends, it is no light thing that greedy and unholy hands have butchered the Word of God for money. Please don't take my word for it, read for yourself. Take Biblica for example, the company that translated (and still translates, regularly making new changes to) the New International Version (NIV). Kindly, here's a brief quote from their website...

“Every change to the NIV must be thoroughly vetted — and changing the text isn’t easy. In order to become part of the NIV, a change must receive the support of at least 70 percent of the translation team.

Such a high threshold among a denominationally diverse team of scholars helps to protect the NIV from agendas, bias, and outside influence — ensuring that any changes are backed by the very best biblical scholarship.

The result of such a rigorous translation process? A Bible you can trust, now and in the future.”

What you've just read is a big bunch of bullcrap! What Biblica will never tell you is that their NIV is based upon the Alexandrian, Egypt, manuscripts (allegedly older and more reliable than our beloved Textus Receptus from which the King James Bible was translated). The manuscripts for the Textus Receptus originated in Antioch, Syria. The King James translators were challenged with having to sift through literally thousands of ancient manuscripts, trying to decide which ones were authored by God, and which ones were manmade to deceive people. 

The King James Bible translators noticed that the majority of the manuscripts agreed, which become known as the “Majority Text” (or the “Received Text,” aka, Textus Receptus), and they recognized that God had safeguarded His Words in the majority of the manuscripts. The stray dogs (clearly manmade deceptions) were rejected. The NIV is based upon some stray dog manuscripts!!!

So you see, you really cannot trust your NIV as Biblica claims! If you'll take the time to compare Bible translations, you'll find that the NIV savagely attacks the doctrines of the deity of Jesus Christ and the Godhead. The word “godhead” is completely removed in Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9, which is every passage in the Bible mentioning the word). Instead they call God the “divine nature,” which is exactly what the Antichrist is going to worship, that is, “the God of forces” (Daniel 11:38). New Age portrays God as an energy force permeating the universe, the god force within us, teaching that all men can attain personal godhood through occult enlightenment (such as Kabballah, Freemasonry, Mormonism, Rosicrucianism, et cetera). In reality, these satanic deceptions are a substitute for the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! Please read, Occult Roots Of The Modern Bible Versions.

If your pastor(s) don't care about this issue and prefer rather to continue using a occult inspired fake translation, then you seriously need to get out of that place and go find a legitimate local New Testament Church that hasn't been corrupted and deceived. The Holy Bible is our spiritual food and meat, and if that food supply becomes tainted and poisoned, then you're going to get spiritual food poisoning.

Our churches today are absolutely overrun with sick saints and spiritual miscarriages who never got saved at all, because of the damnable influence of the lie of these so-called “easy-to-read” Bible versions!!! Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute will help get you to the ground faster, but at what expense? As is typical with the Devil, he has once again cleverly hidden a lie between two truths to deceive people. 

• TRUTH: The newer Bible versions are easier to read.
• TRUTH: There were over 100 so-called “experts” involved.
• LIE: You can trust the NIV.

If you'll take a look back to the earlier quote I provided from Biblica, you'll notice that they invited representatives from umpteen different religious denominations to get involved with butchering God's Word. They claim the reason was to prevent sectarian bias (religious prejudice), but I say the real reason was to increase the marketability of the NIV.

In the 2011 NIV, Biblica have changed the content of their Bible version 38.8% as compared to the 1984 NIV!!! Yet, Biblica claims (in the quote I gave you earlier) that it is not easy to change their Bible version. What a sham! It sure seems easy from the statistics! Has God's Word changed that much in 30 years? No, not at all, but American society has changed 38.8% over the past 30 years, becoming queer as can be, which is why the NIV has turned their Bible version into a religious lesbian's feminist dream come true.

I wrote this article to bring attention to the spiritual disease in our churches today of INDIFFERENCE!!! Most pastors are shamefully going along to get along with apostate mainstream evangelical circles, avoiding the controversial Bible version debate, lest they become theological outcastes and be labeled as being in that dreaded “King James Bible only cult!” Brother, I would 10,000 times rather be in some alleged King James Bible only cult than to unwittingly be sucked into using and supporting an occult Bible version translated by occultists for Satan. Awake to righteousness! I speak this to your shame! 1st Corinthians 15:34, “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”

“I've been preaching a long time, and I've watched a lot of things happen. To me the saddest thing that I've watched in my life, apart from my own country going to the Devil nearly, has been the change of preachers and churches. I find myself amazed and stunned with near disbelief, as I see men who once stood who don't stand anymore ... I know every week I cry some, I mean cry, I mean tear cry, because of preachers who are turning.”

You can identify today's spiritually lifeless churches by the lack of hard-preaching from the pulpit. You can spot these lukewarm churches by the woeful absence of aggressively contending for the faith. Brother, if people don't think you're crazy, you're not living right for God. Most churches today have spiritually malnourished members. Good luck finding a soul-winning program of any sort. You likely won't hear any preaching that warns sinners of imminent Hell, fire and damnation. We've got a bunch of wimpy churches today!!!
