INTRODUCTION
What prompted the writing of this thesis was a series of conversations that I had with a Christian brother in November and December of 1994. He was from a neighboring church that had recently been split by the introduction of ecstatic laughing and barking - a movement that had just begun to gather speed in the Pacific Northwest. This brother and his family were considering visiting our church. He felt that they could no longer stay in their previous church, because of the unscriptural direction it had taken. Now they were looking for a new church home. In order to set the scene we must ... [Introduction continues.] He also stated that the scholars that he had heard and read believed (and he agreed with them) that, "There are no major differences between the versions anyway. In fact, [he stated] I looked up several of the changes mentioned in [Mr. Ray's] book and felt they all were minor ones." He went on to say that he felt that this fact bore out his belief in, "no major changes." For this reason he stated that he had, "ceased looking up any more of them." ... [Introduction continues.] As we now get into the main body of the thesis, I would ask several things of you ... [Introduction continues.] Remember this: God can perfect you for the work of the ministry only to the extent that the tools He uses (Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and His Bible) are perfect. (Ephesians 4:11-12; II Timothy 3:16-17) Here we will concentrate basically on the most important one of the five - the basis of our Religion and, more importantly, of our faith - His Holy Bible. (Romans 10:17) [Introduction continues.]

CHAPTER
FIVE
WE MUST NOT AND CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
We must "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude :3) And the "faith" of the New Versions is not "THE faith." We have also seen that in those new so-called "bibles" their god is called "the One," which is that supposedly "universal God" of Hindu/New Age religion. Impersonal and unfeeling, it is some ephemeral yet cohesive "It" that permeates the universe, which is its body, and like some sort of "godly" glue, binds it together. And in their particular brand of theology, the two are inextricably dependent, one upon the other, for continued existence. (Look out Luke Skywalker! Shades of, "May the force be with you.") Their "Christ" is "a son" of "a god" and he is merely a human being, inherently no different from any other, who, strictly through his own efforts, ascended to Christhood and became "the Christ." He is presented as merely one of many Avatars who came to earth to help man. That "Christ," is definitely NOT the true Christ of the true Bible who is the true and only Saviour of mankind. Their "Trinity" is some Gnostic manifestation of the "emanations" originating from some kind of "Universal Self," which used those emanations, (or to some, those emanations acted entirely and even rebelliously on their own) to bring about the creation of the universe. This whole thing, in reality, was nothing but a fantasy concocted up so that their Gnostic "god," who is perfect and sinless, would not have to actually "touch" this "evil, material creation." Also, their "Trinity" is a manifestation, again, of some type of Hindu/New Age "force" instead of "the Godhead " (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) that is taught in God's true, preserved, Bible- the KJV. Their Salvation is totally one of works. You must "persevere... strive to attain... hold on..." and read your bible for growth up "into" complete salvation, and someday, somehow, you just might "grow up" and be saved. If this be the true way, then what of God's GRACE? It is in vain. What of God's MERCY? It is not needed. What of Christ's BLOOD? It is shed without meaning. What of the CRUCIFIXION? It is a beautiful but sad story of the death of a mere man. What of our REDEEMER? We were never sold into sin, we are just sin-sick; therefore, we have no need to be redeemed, we can get better on our own. In fact NO ONE, in their perverted presentation of the scriptures, is EVER saved, we are merely "being saved." What of all of these things? According to them all of our beliefs are theological nightmares that the newly- wakened readers of the New Versions are told can be put away as mere childish fears.

Timothy 1:13

Timothy ch. 2 II
Timothy ch. 3 II
Timothy ch. 4 Paul knew he was going to die and he is here telling Timothy, and us, that he had contended right to the very end. And we should do the same - NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!
THE PERFECTLY PRESERVED WORD God expects us to strive for perfection; to be "throughly furnished unto all good works." That means we are to be perfected for the ministry. And the only way that is possible is through His perfect Word. To further that end, He has perfectly preserved it for us and makes it available to us for our perfection. We have that perfect Word preserved for us in the only English Bible that is true to the autographs, as attested to by history, time and a preponderance of evidences, the King James Version. In it, the KJV, we have the only Bible translation in English attested to by the Spirit of God and the spirit of man. This attestation is in two ways: In its effects on men's lives since it was first published over three centuries ago; and through the witness of 1/10 of a million written attestations of both saints and sinners over a two millennia span to the textual tradition from which it sprang.
WE HAVE THE WORD OF GOD And that is the King James Bible. It has stood the test of time. It has stood the test of fire. And it has stood the test of life changes in the millions who have read and practiced the things written in it. IT DOES NOT SIMPLY CONTAIN THE WORD OF GOD, IT IS THE PRESERVED WORD OF GOD FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE!
We have proved the unreliability of the New Versions and have shown that they create such major doctrinal chaos that in them the living Word of God is reduced to nothing but a dead compendium of the ungodly heresies of the last two millennia. They are unreliable and unusable, so stick with the Bible that is living and true, the King James Version.
REMEMBER!
YOU CAN ONLY BE AS PERFECT
[You may include Epilogue if you so desire but it is not required.] EPILOGUE I know that I was led of God to write this thesis and I pray that it will obtain to the strengthening of some of you in the faith. Also, I believe that it will strengthen your assurance, as it has mine, that we do possess the Preserved Word of God in the King James Version. Any Bible that could not withstand a God-guided scrutiny of it would not be worthy to be called the Word of God. The King James has done this and is worthy; while the New Versions have not, and are only fit for the dung heap.
I pray that together we may, with assurance, "Preach the word" to the saving of the souls of the lost and the edification of the saved. And that we can now do this with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVATIONS about the tool that God has placed in our hands with which He will enable us and use us to carry out those God-given tasks. I have tried to write in the spirit and not in the flesh. God has blessed and I believe that the zealous testiness and anger that has, at times, come through my pen will be forgiven me in the spirit of His love. I pray that those who read this work will understand that my anger was never directed toward any flesh and blood person but was always directed toward the orchestrator of the evil, Satan himself. When it has flowed over the misguided translators it was only because they stood between Satan and my godly anger and the swelling tide inundated them on its way to reaching him. To those who disagree with the stand I've taken here but who may read this if God so leads them this way, I would plead holy boldness and a zeal to serve my God and Saviour upon those words herein that may have seemed harsh. Again I say, that though my words, of necessity, may have been directed at certain people, my wrath was directed solely at the one who used those people as mere tools, Satan. A LABOR OF LOVE Mk12:30 Mk12:31 Jn
13:34 Jn
13:35 This was a labor of love toward those who do not agree with me because they DO NOT UNDERSTAND how the devil can deceive, even when using what SEEM TO BE God's own words, but are not. ("Yea, hath God said?") I pray that God will use this work to open your eyes. It was also a labor of love toward those who agree with the stands that I've taken here. A labor of love and a prayer that this study will strengthen you as it has strengthened me. And last, but most important, it was a labor of love for My God and My Saviour, Jesus Christ, without whom I would not be here to write and you would not be here to read. I owe everything I am, have, will be, and will ever have or ever do, to the one who bought me- Jesus Christ.
