Halloween!

Should Christians be celebrating this "holiday" ???

The answer to that, is NO! why you ask? here I will let you know why, and the arguments that MANY Christians have to say about WHY THEY CAN celebrate this evil day....

First of all, what is Halloween really about and when did it originate?

ANSWER: Halloween originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the festival of the dead.

Over 2000 years ago, the Celts (which included people from northern France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales) believed that on October 31st the Lord of Death, Saman, would call together all the souls that had died the previous year to travel to afterlife during the Vigil of Samhain. Ancestral ghosts and demons emerged from sidh (ancient mounds or barrows of the countryside) and were free to roam the earth, harm crops, and cause trouble. the Celts held this festival called Samhain, to help the dead along their journey and keep the living from being affected by those of the dead who were evil. During this festival they would sacrifice animals, vegetables, and fruits to the dead, and light bonfires in honor of them.

The living would often disguise themselves in ghoulish costumes, such as animal skins and heads, so the spirits of the dead would think they were one of their own and pass by without incident. The masked villagers would also form parades to lead the spirits out to the town limits. The Celts would also offer food to Saman to persuade him to be more temperate as he judged their ancestors. Additionally, the Celts would lay out food for their weary ancestors traveling to the other world or to appease spirits who were looking for trouble.

Because these roaming spirits were thought to hold the secrets of the afterlife and the future, Celtic priests, or Druids, thought that divination's could be read with more clarity on this particular day. The priests would light large fires to both strengthen the Sun god and to make divination's by throwing a horse or cat (sometimes in a wicker cage) into the fire and watch the burning entrails. At midnight, they would begin to worship Saman, who would be the ruler of the earth for the next six months.

The transformation of Samhain to "Halloween"

The Roman Empire had taken over most of the Celtic lands. The Romans had two festivals also celebrated at the same time of year as Samhain. One was Feralia, also in late October, was the Roman day honouring the dead. The second festival was for Pomona, the Roman goddess of trees and fruit. Pomona's symbol was the apple. These two festivals were combined with Samhain in the Celtic lands during the four hundred years the Roman Empire ruled over the Celts. The goddess Pomona's apple might be the root of the Halloween tradition of bobbing for apples.

The Christian part of Halloween

Over the next several hundred years, Christianity had spread to include the lands inhabited by the Celtics and the Romans, but the festival of Samhain was still celebrated by the people. The Christian church reportedly did not like a festival with Pagan roots practiced by Christians, so a replacement was needed. So instead of forcing the Pagans to drop their Pagan practices and accept Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church just made room to accommodate them. Pope Boniface IV designated May 13 as All Saints Day to HONOR dead church saints and martyrs. Samhain continued to be celebrated, so in 835 A.D., Pope Gregory IV moved the holiday to November 1. Since All Saints Day was sanctioned by the church, and related to the dead, the church was happy, but many Pagan traditions of Samhain continued to be practiced, including bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costume. All Saints Day was also known as All Hallows, or All Hallowmas (Hallowmas is Old English for All Saints Day). Since Samhain was celebrated the night before November 1, the celebration was known as All Hallows Eve, and later called Halloween.

So why do Christians think it's OKAY to celebrate this holiday?

Many churches are teaching their congregation that it is OKAY to celebrate Halloween, and are partakers in this holiday.

(Note the women in this video say Jesus would think this Holiday is "Fun!" )

There has been many arguments from Christians, specially Christian mothers saying why should they deprive their children from a few hours of fun and lots of candy, that other Christians shouldn't force their "Satanic Ideas" on them, because they aren't giving Satan any room in their lives (that couldn't be further from the truth!) 


Christians who are teaching their Children that it is OKAY to compromise the Word of God by partaking in this worldly, evil holiday, are causing them to sin, and will be held accountable for this. As scripture says:

Matthew 18:6 (KJV)

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Other Christians are also stating that they still Love the Lord and don't see the harm in celebrating Halloween and that they will CONTINUE to celebrate Halloween and HOW MUCH THEY LOVE! this holiday. Christians are also throwing around the argument that YOU are JUDGING THEM for celebrating this Holiday, but doesn't scripture quote that a Christian should reprove another Christian for doing wrong? Imagine if Jesus, His Apostles, and Paul were apathetic and did not "reprove the world of sin?" Yet this is what "Christians" are called to do.

2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJV)

4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Many Christians aren't happy when called out on their error, and instead of acknowledging the error of their ways, attack fellow Christians and/or try to justify their actions in participating in this worldly holiday. Let's see what the Bible has to say about this?

1 Corinthians 10:20-21 (KJV)

20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

2 Corinthians 6:14-16 (KJV)

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

What actually happens on Halloween

This is the truth, and no matter how much you try and deny it and shut it out and pretend it is not happening, this is what is going on, on Halloween! So instead of throwing parties and dressing up, giving out candy, have a "good time" on Halloween, Christians SHOULD BE praying for the protection and safety of those out there that are going to be sacrificed or who are in danger on this this evil night! Babies, teenagers, adults, animals! all of them need your prayer!

No matter how much a Christian tries to justify celebrating Halloween, a Christian who celebrates Halloween is guilty of witchcraft by commemorating a Satanic high holy day. Halloween has never been a Christian holiday, and it has no place in the church or the life of a Christian. Christians are children of LIGHT not Darkness! and should not participate in the dark things of Halloween!

The Bible says in the last days many will be deceived. What fellowship has light with darkness? 

You cannot drink from the Lords cup and sit at the Devils table!

Hillsong manipulates its audience with their music, false teaching and mysticism

All quotes from the article, link posted at the end.

" And she proceeded to pray a long and emotional prayer about obstacles in people’s lives, and how she sensed a Spirit of overcoming in this place this day that would lead us to freedom, and on in the same vein for five minutes or so, the music behind her words all the time, swelling and fading, swelling and fading. To us, it all seemed so transparently staged and emotionally manipulative. But were they conscious of this? Or were they so used to doing things this way that it just seemed natural?"

"This sense that we can be led into God’s presence, and experience him, via music and similar activities was a constantly recurring theme of the conference. It came out in numerous heart-revealing idle words—like those just mentioned—but also, with an interesting twist"

The Hillsong ‘worship experience’ throughout the week was a massive production, an artifact of incredible human ingenuity and skill.

And yet it was also an act of mysticism. It was predicated on a rejection of rational, mechanistic approaches to God—as if we simply read his words in a book and automatically come to know him. The music was meant to be the language of the heart that lifts us to immediate experience of God.

" when sin is spoken about, which is not often, it is usually in terms of immorality in the world or else negative thinking and attitudes that destroy God’s purpose in our lives, and limit our potential;3 there is no concept that we are under God’s wrath or condemnation because of our personal rebellion against him, or that there is a connection between sin, death and judgement;4

it is asserted that Jesus is God’s perfect Son and even that he died ‘for us’ or ‘in our place’, but what this means is not explained; not a single example was found expounding Jesus’ death as taking the penalty for sin on our behalf so that we might avoid God’s wrath on judgement day; instead, Jesus’ death and resurrection is usually quoted either as an example (of overcoming difficulty and living with purpose),5 or explained as the source of healing and empowerment for living an abundant and healthy life;6

our response to the Christian message focuses heavily on the power of choice God has given us, on the need to change mental attitudes and thought patterns so as to live in the blessing God has for us, and on the biblical ‘law of cause and effect’— that if we obey Bible principles we will succeed and flourish in life, as God intended.7"

" In their understanding of humanity and sin, Hillsong distorts the diagnosis: it’s not so much that we’re sinful rebels against God our creator, and therefore objects of his righteous anger and judgement, under the sentence of death; it’s more that we have allowed all kinds of bad choices and negative thinking to get in the way of reaching the purpose and potential God has in store for us.

This means that although Hillsong still believes in and proclaims the historical events of Jesus’ death and resurrection, they understand these events differently. They do not proclaim Jesus’ death as a substitutionary atonement, turning aside God’s wrath so that I can receive forgiveness and be saved on the day of judgement—rather, Jesus’ death and resurrection function as an undefined entry point into the life of blessing that God has for us, and serve as an example of what a fully devoted life in tune with God’s purposes looks like (effectively a ‘moral influence’ view of the atonement).

And because they have twisted both the problem and the solution in Christ out of shape, their account of how we should respond to the gospel is also badly flawed. It’s not about clinging to Christ in faith for forgiveness of sins, and pursuing holiness through the work of the Spirit—it’s about choosing to change how you think, and obeying the Bible’s principles, so that you can move into a period of success and flourishing in every area of life.8
"
A package that focuses on uplifting music to connect me to God, relevant messages that will help me to flourish in life, and social and community action to alleviate poverty is exactly what one would expect to find if the gospel of future judgement has been abandoned. The focus shifts from judgement and the coming kingdom to living an awesome life now; a life of personal flourishing and growing impact upon society.

Over all: The gospel is not preached. Its content is not expounded. Its great terms and concepts are not taught or explained. Whatever is driving the bus, it’s not the gospel. A package that focuses on uplifting music to connect me to God, relevant messages that will help me to flourish in life, and social and community action to alleviate poverty is exactly what one would expect to find if the gospel of future judgement has been abandoned. The focus shifts from judgement and the coming kingdom to living an awesome life now; a life of personal flourishing and growing impact upon society. On all the evidence of that week, backed up by our other investigations, this was not a platform or organization that we could support or recommend to anyone. It did not faithfully and clearly teach the gospel of Christ—and this was not through denial or outright heresy, but through distortion, replacement and omission. For all the hype and hoopla, we were not directed to the narrow gate and the difficult way that leads to salvation. Instead, we found ourselves being beckoned down a broader and far more "awesome" road; a road paved with promises of blessing and divine purpose; a road with inspiring tour-guides, thousands of warm and enthusiastic fellow-travellers, and a soundtrack to die for.

The Attack on God's Word!

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

 12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Without a doubt this is a delicate and sensitive issue in churches today, because the Bible is:

THE GREATEST NUMBER ONE THREAT TO SATAN! 

So what better way to pervert the Word of God by creating different versions of the bible, taking away from the Inspired and Preserved Word of God! Leading many astray!

Genesis 3:1-5 (KJV)

 1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

The last century has seen the publication of many 'bible' versions, which are in fact not versions, but perversions of the Word of God, in that they blatantly attack the person, deity, and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, and pervert the true Gospel of Christ, among many other heresies.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)

 12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 16:25 (KJV)

 25There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 These corrupted 'bibles,' which all adopt as their authority a corrupted Greek text which contains over 6,000 deletions and substitutions from the original inspired text, include the NIV [New International Version,] NAS [New American Standard Version,] NKJ [New King James Version,] and many others. It has become clear that God has preserved His infallible and inerrant Word only in the Authorised King James Bible.


If you doubt the truth of this statement, consider the following quote from Dr. Frank Logsdon, the theologian and language scholar who led the translation of the New American Standard Version [NAS:]

"I must, under God, renounce every attachment to the New American Standard Version. I’m afraid I’m in trouble with the Lord...We laid the groundwork; I wrote the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I wrote the preface...I’m in trouble; I can’t refute these arguments; it’s wrong, frighteningly wrong, and what am I going to do about it?

"When questions began to reach me at first, I was quite offended...I used to laugh with others...However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense that something was not right with the New American Standard Version. I can no longer ignore these criticisms I am hearing and I can’t refute them...the deletions are absolutely frightening...there are so many...Are we so naïve that we do not suspect satanic deception in all of this?

"Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explaining that I was forced to renounce all attachment to the NASV. The product is grievous to my heart and helps to complicate matters in these already troublous times...I don’t want anything to do with it. The finest leaders that we have today...haven’t gone into it [corrupted Greek test,] just as I hadn’t gone into it...that’s how easily one can be deceived... 

"[Y]ou can say the Authorized Version [KJV] is absolutely correct. How correct? 100% correct!...I believe the Spirit of God led the translators of the Authorized Version. If you must stand against everyone else, stand..."

Jeremiah 23:36 (KJV)

 36And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

But the new versions are easier to read [NOT!]

Many Christians prefer the new perversions because they are under the illusion that they are easier to read than the King James Version. However, the KJV ranks actually easier than the new versions in 23 out of 26 comparisons on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level indicator [5th grade reading level,] and in most verses is easier for children to read. In most passages the new perversions have replaced simple, one-syllable words from the KJV with more complex multi-syllable words. This was done because the new perversions are copyrighted [$!] which the KJV is NOT. Copyright laws require the publishers to make substantial changes in text from the KJV. Because of copyright laws, the new perversions can never use as simple words as the King James Version.

Some readers object to the KJV's use of archaic words like thee, thou, thine, and ye. However, these words were used [even after they had begun to cease from English conversational use,] to convey the singularity or plurality of the person[s] addressed. This is conveyed in the Greek and Hebrew, but is not possible using only the common English pronouns "you" or "your". When Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 8:44, "ye are of your father the devil" we know from the KJV that he was speaking to the entire group, not just one individual. Similarly, in the KJV the singular terms the and thou means 'you alone,' and thine means 'yours alone [for Thine is the kingdom" – Matt. 6:13.] These distinctions from the original manuscripts are lost in the new perversions. The few problems with other archaic terms used in the KJV such as suffer [permit,] prevent [precede,] etc, can be easily overcome with a brief education in the definitions and usage of these terms.

The critical difference between the King James Bible and the modern perversions is in the Greek text they were translated from. The KJ was translated from the Received Text or Textus Receptus [TR,] which was compiled and printed in Greek by Erasmus in 1516 from the majority of Greek texts available; hence the alternate term Majority Text. The reliability of this text is based on the premise that as New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand and spread throughout Asia Minor and Europe from the 1st Century AD, the majority of copies would be reliable and errors would only occur in very few of the copies. [This is a good place to add that the translators of the King James Bible were so meticulous in their task, that a single misspelled word or error of any kind resulted in a complete re-write of the affected page. The writer destroyed the corrupted page, bathed, changed clothes and prayed for several hours before returning to work.] Where the KJ differs from the modern perversions, the KJ’s readings are confirmed by thousands of scriptural quotes from the writings of early Church fathers; such as Tertullian, Hippolytus, Irenaeus and Justin Martyr, dating back to the 1st century and the early church at Antioch.

God promised to preserve His word. He has done so through the TR text:

Psalm 12:6-7 (KJV)

 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)

 8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

1 Peter 1:25 (KJV)

 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

The Satanic assault on the New Testament scriptures began even as they were being written in the 1st century.

2 Peter 3:16 (KJV)

 16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

The modern revisionist versions were translated from the product of that assault, a corrupted Greek text [Westcott-Hort Text,] fabricated in the 1850's by two English spiritualists named B.F. Westcott and F.J. Hort, neither of whom were true believers in Christ. Westcott denied the deity and substitutionary atonement of Christ, and reportedly dabbled in the occult.1 Both men denied the inerrancy and literal interpretation of scripture. Both also preferred Catholic doctrine. Hort called evangelical doctrine 'perverted' and wrote to Westcott: "Protestantism is only parenthetical and temporary." Hort praised Darwin's theory of evolution in writing and denied that Eden ever existed. Westcott wrote, "No one now, I suppose, holds that the first three chapters of Genesis give a literal history. I could never understand how anyone reading them with open eyes could think they did."

In compiling their Greek text, Westcott and Hort followed obscure, corrupted manuscripts [Alexandrian Text] which can be traced to a 3rd century apostate named Origen [185-254 AD.] Origen deliberately changed the scriptures to suit his own twisted pagan doctrines [blend of Gnosticism, Platonism & Mysticism.] Origen's work resulted in the Codex Sinaiticus [a manuscript aptly discovered in 1844 in the waste bin of a Mt. Sinai monastery,] and Codex Vaticanus texts later adopted by Westcott & Hort, which delete and substitute key words from the Majority Text in thousands of doctrinally critical places. Footnotes in the modern 'versions' deceptively refer to these as the "oldest and most reliable" manuscripts. The result of this assault is a group of modern perversions of the Word of God [NIV, NAS, NKJ, Living Bible, New World Translation [Watchtower/JW] Good News for Modern Man, etc,] which all make the same heretical deletions and substitutions.

The danger of these new 'watered down' versions is that they can be easily twisted and misinterpreted where the King James cannot, and they can be used to support and teach false doctrines of demons. A trained and discipled Christian may read his understanding of orthodox theology into the modern versions' revised passages, but so can heretics and New-Agers do the same with their demonic doctrines. Even the New King James Version [NKJ,] which generally follows the TR [KJV] text, makes many of the same corruptions the other perversions make, and where it does not do so, it points out with footnotes most deviations from the Westcott-Hort text, which in itself causes great confusion and casts doubt on the authority and reliability of Scripture.

The new versions do NOT present the inspired word of God, CANNOT be accepted as authoritative, and should NOT be used by Christians.

If you ACCEPT these false versions you are accepting a FALSE god that changes! and God NEVER CHANGES! NEITHER DOES HIS WORD!

Malachi 3:6 (KJV)

 6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)

 8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

IF THIS IS STILL NOT ENOUGH PROOF FOR YOU THEN HERE IS MORE!

Attacks on the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and Denial of His Deity

Denial that Jesus is God

For dedicated revisionists to succeed in their attack on Christ, the first thing necessary for them to do is create doubt about His divinity. By removing the person of the Trinity from Him, they then can add other gods, or deny the Triune God.

1 Timothy 3:16 One of the strongest statements in the Bible of Christ's deity.

1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

 16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

NIV, NAS, RSV – Change 'God' to 'He'

-------------------------------------------

Jude 1:25 (KJV)

 25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT - Add "through Jesus Christ our Lord" after "God our Saviour." Shifts the meaning of "God our Saviour" from the Son to the Father.


"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." – 1 John 4:14 KJV


Note the spelling of 'Saviour' in the King James is changed to 'Savior' in the perversions. This also degrades the deity of Christ, since the only meaning of the word 'Saviour' with a capital 's' in the old English language is God, or Jesus. The spelling without the capital and deleting the letter 'u' is the common savior, such as firemen, life guards, etc. These very subtle changes are overlooked by most, but the reasons for them screams out with a loud voice.

-------------------------------------

Romans 14:10-12 (KJV)

 10But 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.

 11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

 12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

KJB – 10. "But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ.


11. "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.


12. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."


[Note: the passage clearly teaches that Christ is God!]


NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT – change 'Christ' to 'God' in v. 10.


NOTE: This corruption also denies the truth of Jesus' statement in John 5:22 that all judgment has been committed unto Him. ["For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"] This is a very strange oversight by the authors of the perversions, since they all left that statement in John intact for the most part. This of course creates a contradiction, which does not exist in the King James Bible. There is a similar change at Rev. 20:12.

----------------------------------------

Revelation 1:6-8 (KJV)

 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

 8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

NIV, NAS, NKJ, NLT, RSV – Change "God and his Father:" in v 6 to "His God and Father."


NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV – Delete "I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last" from v. 11.

-------------------------------------

2 Thessalonians 2:2 (KJV)

 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

This verse shows that the New Testament 'Day of Christ' is the Old Testament 'Day of the Lord,' that Christ is the Lord of the Old Testament.


NIV, NAS, RSV, NLT – change 'Christ' to 'the Lord.'

------------------------------------

1 Corinthians 10:9 (KJV)

 9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

NAS, NIV, RSV - change 'Christ' to 'the Lord' – another denial that Jesus is Jehovah of the Old Testament.

-------------------------------------

1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)

 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

NAS, NIV, NLT, RSV – change 'Lord God' to 'Christ as Lord.'


Is this the mother of 'Lordship Salvation?' Your call.

-----------------------------------

Micah 5:2 (KJV)

 2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

NIV, RSV, NLT – all change 'from everlasting' to 'from ancient times.' [Or similar wording,] denying Christ's eternal existence.

---------------------------------

1 Corinthians 12:3 (KJV)

 3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

NIV, NAS, NLT, NKJ, RSV – ALL change 'THE LORD' to 'Lord.' This simple little deletion of a tiny little word subtly denies the deity of Christ again.

The point being made here is that a direct statement denying Christ's divinity would cause too much consternation among well versed Bible readers. The well-placed changes leave room for interpretations that fit the agenda of the antichrist. The time worn adage that these 'new translations' make the Bible easier to understand just does not hold water. All these things do is create doubt and dissention, which are wiles of Satan.

Times have changed, but God Almighty has not announced any changes to His Word and Law.

John 6:69 (KJV)

 69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - Change Christ, the Son of the living God to Holy One of God.

NOTE: This perversion makes Jesus equal to saints and angels, denies that He is the Son of God, and also denies that He is the Christ.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV)

 13To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Matthew 25:31 (KJV)

 31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

-----------------------------

John 9:35 (KJV)

 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - change Son of God to Son of Man.

-----------------------------

Acts 3:13 (KJV)

 13The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

Acts 3:26 (KJV)

 26Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - all change Son to Servant.

NOTE: If we are "no more a servant, but a son", how much more is Jesus, the eternal Son of God, a son and not a servant?

-------------------------------

Galatians 4:7 (KJV)

 7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

NIV, RSV, NKJ, NLT, NAS - all change Servant to Slave. They also delete the name Christ, either changing it to God or just deleting that entire portion of the passage.

The word slave appears in the entire Bible only one time in Jeremiah 2:14:

Jeremiah 2:14 (KJV)

 14Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

The plural slaves appears only once in Revelation 18:13: "And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men." The perversions could only be acting to replace servant with that word. See what happens when an effort is made to make the Word of God conform to the satanic heart of lost men?

------------------------------

Acts 4:27 (KJV)

 27For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

Acts 4:30 (KJV)

 30By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

NIV, RSV, NKJ,NLT, NAS - All change holy child to holy servant in both verses.

-----------------------------

Acts 8:36-37 (KJV)

 36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

 37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete verse 37, although some try to cover this by making totally false footnote statements about it not being in the Majority Text. If not in the Majority [Received] Text, it would NOT appear in the King James Bible!


NOTE: This deletion also denies the apostolic [Baptist] doctrine of Believer's Baptism, requiring that a person believe the Gospel prior to being baptized. This makes the Bible more palatable to Catholics and Protestants, both of which practice infant baptism.

--------------------------------

Luke 2:33 (KJV)

 33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

NIV, RSV, NKJ, NLT, NAS - All either change Joseph and his mother to his mother and father, or make annotations that it is improper .translation. NOTE: This corruption denies the virgin birth of Christ, which means Christ's deity. Jesus could not be both the son of God and the son of Joseph.

---------------------------------

Luke 2:43 (KJV)

 43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All change Joseph and his mother to his parents. Of course, there are other variations in the verses. After all, the perversions are dealing with copyright laws, and all of them are jealous of their cash cows.

---------------------------------

Ephesians 3:14 (KJV)

 14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete Of our Lord Jesus Christ.

-----------------------------------

A concerted move is made in most perversions to remove the title Christ from Jesus.

Some examples of the denial of Jesus as the Christ follow:

John 4:42 (KJV)

 42And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete the Christ. NKJ leaves the word, but suggests it may not be properly used there! ALL of the perversions, including the 21st Century NKJ, all delete the letter 'u' from Saviour. This sole form of that particular word did not come into common usage for some years AFTER the King James Bible was translated.

----------------------------------

Matthew 23:8 (KJV)

 8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete even Christ. NKJ includes the word with a footnote again casting doubt on whether or not the translators had a clue as to the truth.

----------------------------------

Luke 4:41 (KJV)

 41And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete the former Christ and retain the latter. NLT changes the second Christ to Messiah. NKJ includes both, but again with a footnote on the first one that leaves the reader in doubt.

---------------------------------

Acts 2:30 (KJV)

 30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete according to the flesh, and change Christ to One of his descendants. NLT goes even further to identify David as the seed of the Messiah, not God.

NOTE: This antichrist corruption also denies that the Christ would come in the flesh. 

See other deletions of Christ in the NIV at: Acts 15:11, 16:31, 20:21, Romans 1:16, 16:20, 16:24 [entire verse deleted from NIV,] 1 Corinthians 5:4, 9:1,18. 16:22-23, 2 Corinthians 11:31, Galatians 3:17, 4:7 [virtually all the perversions, including NKJ, change the word servant to slave. It is as if there were no servants in biblical times that were not free men who worked in a service. Today's waiters, bellhops, barbers, and a myriad of other service professions would be considered in slavery if the same connotation applied in this century! All servants are NOT SLAVES! 1 Thessalonians 3:11, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, Hebrews 3:1, 1 John 1:7, Revelation 1:9, 12:17 et al.

NOTE: New-Agers teach that Christ-consciousness was attained by Jesus, but can also be attained by others, and that another Christ is coming.

DENIAL THAT JESUS IS LORD

Luke 23:42 (KJV)

 42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All remove Lord. NKJ inserts it, but again with a footnote that puts the whole passage in question again.

--------------------------------

1 Corinthians 15:47 (KJV)

 47The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - all remove the Lord. NKJ again includes the footnoted insertion, leaving the reader to determine if it belongs in the word of God!.

---------------------------------

2 Corinthians 4:10 (KJV)

 10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - all delete the Lord.

See the same deletions at: 2 Timothy 4:1, Acts 19:10, 1 Corinthians 16:22

-------------------------------

THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF THE MOST BLASPHEMOUS ACTS OF THE PERVERSIONS, WHICH IS EQUATING JESUS WITH LUCIFER

Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV)

 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - all change hell to the grave in v. 15 and change Lucifer to Morning Star in v. 12.

NOTE: JESUS, NOT LUCIFER, IS THE ‘MORNING STAR’

Revelation 22:16 (KJV)

 16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

New Agers deny that Lucifer is Satan, deny the bodily resurrection of Christ, and teach that Isaiah 14 is about Jesus, not Lucifer. Both Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.

The Incarnation of Christ (that God became Man) are denied by the perversions of the Word. The following should demonstrate that fact well.

1 John 4:3 (KJV)

 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

NAS: and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.


NIV: but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.


NLT: If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come in to the world, and he is already here.


RSV: and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

NOTE: Because the new perversions deny that God [Christ] has come in the flesh [1 Timothy 3:16, Acts 2:30,] they have to revise the antichrist test! This blatant corruption alone shows that the new perversions are antichrist.

ACCUSING JESUS OF SIN

Matthew 5:22 (KJV)

 22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - all delete without a cause - making it a sin to be angry. NKJ again uses the slick footnote and leaves you guessing just what is said.

Compare with Matthew 21:12 and John 2:15, where Jesus drove out the moneychangers. Some use this passage in the new perversions to argue that Jesus sinned by being angry in this instance.

Next we will check on the Denial that Jesus was worshipped, of Jesus’ role in Creation, that He ascended into heaven, and some of the heinous deletions that make denial of Christ’s doctrine seem logical when viewed through the deleted perversions. You will be amazed at the complex distortions that were made, not for the interest of forwarding the Gospel, but in the interest of protecting copyrights and the cash flow to the godless authors of perversity.

This will give exposure to the need for the Word of God to be perfect and without controversial man-made and Satan-directed changes, additions, and deletions. Many will not take the time to verify these facts. I suggest that failure to see and understand the importance of being misled by perverted 'scripture' is the paving stones on the road to destruction of body and soul.

To ensure that the deity of Christ is placed in doubt, one of the most important things for the fathers of perversion is to carefully suggest is that He did not ascend into heaven. Two of the most critical passages are included below:

John 3:13 (KJV)

 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete which is in heaven. NKJ and NLT both footnote to create confusion as to which is correct.

---------------------------------

John 16:16 (KJV)

 16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All delete because I go to the Father.

These apparent 'small' changes or deletions leave the door open for conflicting conclusions. That is the reason these things are so dangerous. When read by an un-believer, he can draw conclusions that do not fit the facts.

Here are some more changes and deletions:

Matthew 5:44
NIV, NLT, NAS, RSV, NWT - delete bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


Matthew 9:13
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, NWT - delete to repentance


Matthew 15:8
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, NWT - delete draweth nigh unto me with their mouth.


Matthew 18:11
11. For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost... Completely deleted from NIV, RSV, NLT, and NWT. Footnoted out of NKJ and NAS.


Matthew 19:9
This passage is so brutally mutilated by all the perversions, that an entire page could be devoted to it. One thing common to all is the total deletion of and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.


Matthew 20:7
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, and NWT - all delete ...and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.


Matthew 20:16
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV, and NWT - all delete for many be called, but few chosen.

Matthew 23:14 (KJV)

 14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

This passage is completely deleted from NIV, NLT, RSV, and NWT. NKJ and NAS footnote it to be an older manuscript.

-------------------------------

Mark 6:11 (KJV)

 11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All delete the last sentence Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Mark 7:8
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV and NWT all delete "…as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do."

---------------------------------

Mark 7:16 (KJV)

 16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

NIV, NLT, RSV, and NWT – all delete this entire verse. NAS and NKJ footnote it into irrelevance.


Mark 8:26
NIV, NAS, NLT, RSV and NWT – all delete "…nor tell it to any in the town."

-------------------------------

Mark 10:21 (KJV)

 21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All delete take up the cross.

---------------------------------

Mark 10:24 (KJV)

 24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All delete ...for those that trust in riches.

----------------------------------

Mark 11:26 (KJV)

 26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NWT - All delete this verse entirely. NAS and NKJ footnote it to indicate the total lack of inspiration in the authors of their heresy.

----------------------------------

Mark 13:14 (KJV)

 14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

NIV, RSV, NLT, NWT - All delete spoken of by Daniel the prophet.

-------------------------------------

Luke 4:4 (KJV)

 4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NWT - All delete but by every word of God.

---------------------------------

Luke 4:8 (KJV)

 8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All delete and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan.

--------------------------------

Luke 9:55-56 (KJV)

 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

 56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS, NWT - All the perversions have mutilated this two verse passage a little differently, but the end result is to either delete and ignore, or to include and footnote out, the following: 55: delete ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56: delete For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

------------------------------

John 6:47 (KJV)

 47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

NIV, RSV, NAS, NWT - All delete on me except the NLT, which only changes the wording a bit. Without those two words, the new age perverts are free to insert whatever they think we should believe in to be saved.

Denial of the Triune God

Most Christians believe in the Triune God, in one way or another, but those who would destroy this belief really pulled out the stops on this one. The acceptance of the mystery of the Trinity is just too much for the doubters that started the attack on the Word. The way to get past this problem was to deny it, and they did a good job of trying.

1 John 5:6-8 (KJV)

 6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

 7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

NIV, NWT, RSV, NLT, NAS - All delete verse 7 completely and invent their own fixture in it’s place. NONE of them are worded identically. If God’s word is pure, true, and perfect, there is a problem here!

The Demasculinisation of God [Changing Him to The One]

John 7:18 (KJV)

 18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

NIV 
"He who speaks on his own does so to honor himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him."


NAS
"He who speaks from himself seeks is own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

All references to God are clearly masculine. This heresy sets the stage for global worship of the New Age mother Goddess, "the virgin."

Removal of God's Name

Exodus 6:3 (KJV)

 3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

NIV, RSV, NKJ NLT, NAS - All change JEHOVAH to the Lord.

-----------------------------------

Psalm 83:18 (KJV)

 18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

NIV, RSV, NKJ, NLT, NAS - All change JEHOVAH to the Lord.

The same change may be seen at Gen. 22:14, Judges 6:24, Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4

NOTE; Identification of God as Jehovah or Yahweh is taboo to ecumenical New-Agers who want a global religion and want to say we all worship the same God.

------------------------------

Corruption of the Gospel 

[Deny man’s need for salvation]

Ephesians 4:6 (KJV)

 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

NIV, RSV, NWT, NLT, NAS - change in you all to in all.


[Pagan pantheism, God is all and in all]


NOTE: If God is IN ALL, there is no need for anyone to get saved: Paul was talking to the believers in Ephesus, not to the world.

Change Belief to Obedience

Romans 11:32 (KJV)

 32For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

NIV, RSV, NWT, NLT, NAS, NKJ - All change unbelief to disobedience. Same change at Hebrews 3:18, 4:6,11; John 3:36.

------------------------------

John 9:35 (KJV)

 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

NIV, RSV, NLT, NAS - change Son of God to Son of Man.

Make Salvation Difficult

Matthew 7:14 (KJV)

 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Perversions change strait or narrow to difficult way.

------------------------------

Mark 10:24 (KJV)

 24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

NIV, RSV, NWT, NLT, NAS - All delete for them that trust in riches.

--------------------------------

2 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)

 3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

NIV
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.


NAS
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.


RSV
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

NOTE: It is imperative to eliminate the simple belief in Christ as the means of salvation if we are trying to teach that it is very hard to get to heaven. Change Faith to Faithfulness in Matthew 23:23 and Galatians 5:22 in both NIV and NAS.

Removal of the Blood Atonement of Christ

Colossians 1:14 (KJV)

 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

NIV, NAS, RSV - "In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

Denial of Doctrine of Regeneration [Believer's New Nature] & the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

 17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

NIV
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come."


NAS
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature, the old things have passed away; new things have come."

------------------------------

Ephesians 4:6 (KJV)

 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

NIV, RSV
"One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."


NAS
"One God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."

NOTE: If God is already in all, what is the necessity for salvation? Paul was speaking to a congregation of saved believers, not making a general statement to whomsoever reads the epistle.

-------------------------------

John 1:12 (KJV)

 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

NIV, NAS, NLT, NKJ - "All change power to right. Translators of NKJ did not even footnote this one, they wanted to be certain to pass on the belief that God did not invest power in ANY man."

Changing "IS SAVED" to "WAS SAVED" 

[Changes secure state of eternal salvation to a past event of initiation]

1 Corinthians 1:2,5; 6:11 
Perversions change are washed, sanctified, justified, to were.


Ephesians 2:8 
Changes from are saved to have been saved. This leaves the door open to claim the possibility that salvation can be lost.


Colossians 2:10; 2:20 and 3:1,3 
Perversions change be risen and are dead to have been raised and died.


1 Timothy 6:12 
Change art called to were called.


2 Timothy 2:11 
Change be dead to died


1 Peter 1:23 
Change being born again to have been born again.

NOTE: Initiation rites are central to all forms of Luciferian cultic worship.

Removing Christ from the Gospel

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

NIV, NAS, NKJ, RSV - "All change from gospel of Christ to gospel."

-------------------------------

Romans 15:29 (KJV)

 29And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

NIV, NAS, NKJ, RSV - "All change gospel of Christ to Christ."

---------------------------------

1 Corinthians 9:18 (KJV)

 18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

NIV, NAS, RSV - "All change Christ to It. NKJ inserts Christ, but with their idiotic footnote that says it does not belong there."

----------------------------------

John 6:47 (KJV)

 47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

NIV, NAS, RSV - "All delete on me. Again NKJ has it with the devil's footnote."

Denial of Believer's Baptism

Acts 8:37 (KJV)

 37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

NIV, RSV
"Both delete the entire verse. NKJ and NAS both claim it is not in the text of the majority, which of course if a flagrant lie."

Denial of the Importance of God's Word

Luke 4:4 (KJV)

 4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

NIV, NAS, RSV - "All delete but by every word of God."

-------------------------------

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

 12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

NIV, NAS, RSV - "All delete quick and powerful and insert active"

----------------------------------

Inasmuch as over 6,000 changes and deletions have been executed by the perversions, there is no limit to the number of places that the text of the King James Version has been corrupted by them.

God takes His Word very seriously. He has even magnified His Word above His name [Ps 138:2]

Psalm 138:2 (KJV)

 2I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

and expects His children to tremble at his word [Isaiah 66:5.]

Isaiah 66:5 (KJV)

 5Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Despite all of Satan's efforts to destroy it, God has preserved His Word. The greatest group of Bible and language scholars ever assembled rejected the corrupt Alexandrine Text available to them, and following the traditional text which God preserved through the ages, produced the King James Version. In light of the Satanically inspired deletions and substitutions made in the new perversions, THERE IS NO EXCUSE for any Christian who has been presented with this information to continue using any of the new perversions of God's Holy Word, which has been preserved for us only in the Authorized King James Version.

UPDATE On "Hillsong the Church of Satan"

Notice on this banner the words "The eyes of the world opened to a new way of living..." 

(NEW AGE MOVEMENT) <- Teaches you to be your own god!

Hi Church,
With great expectation, we look towards EASTER this weekend! It really is the MOST significant weekend of the year for those with a faith in Christ, as we remember the death of our Saviour and CELEBRATE His resurrection…
In the midst of the chocolate eggs, holiday fun and good times with family and friends, let’s remember what Easter is truly all about — JESUS!
We have very special plans for each of our Easter Services. We’re honored to have Martin Smith, former lead singer of Delirious! & incredible songwriter involved in our services across Easter.

EASTER WORSHIP PARTY with MARTIN SMITH! 

Now we know that Easter is a Pagan holiday as I mentioned in my previous post, so why does Hillsong celebrate it? Easter has NOTHING to do with the Resurrection of Jesus! And in the above quote they mention "EASTER" more often than "..the resurrection", saying it IS an EASTER SERVICE, and they have an  EASTER WORSHIP PARTY!  (EASTER EXPOSED) <- CLICK

A lot of you may think, "but it's just EASTER! What's the big deal!?" Well let's see what scripture has to say about that:

Deuteronomy 12:30-32 (KJV)

 30Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

 31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

 32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

So regardless whether YOU think it is OKAY to celebrate EASTER, the Word of God is CLEARLY AGAINST IT! And Hillsong goes against the Word of God by celebrating the holiday.

Now on "Resurrection Sunday" Martin Smith, singer from the band delirious sang the song called "The walk to Freedom" at Hillsong and in the song were the Lyrics "46664" everyone in the church was singing along "46664" as Christians do you not know that this is the number of the beast? yes everyone of them were cheerfully singing along very happily not knowing what it was they were singing...? Kind of like a chant, where everyone was mesmerized and paying no attention to what the lyrics were. (I did after the event ask some members if they knew they were singing ...6-6-6... and they told me No they weren't) Now if you did this unknowingly and weren't even able to pick that up! then what else are you not picking up that Hillsong is teaching you?

It's a long walk, long walk to freedom
It's a long walk, long walk to freedom

Freedom rises from the killing floor
No lock of iron or rivet can restrain the door
And no kind of army can hope to win a war
It's like trying to stop the rain or still the lion's roar

Long walk, long walk to freedom
It's a long walk, long walk to freedom

It's like trying to stop the whirlwind scattering seeds and spores
Like trying to stop the tin cans rapping out jailhouse semaphore
They know when your hands are manacled its your spirit that gets raw
It's not the small little patch of sky you see, as if your visions soar

Long walk, long walk to freedom
It's a long walk, long walk to freedom

When freedom arise from the killing floor
No lock of iron can restrain the door
Can't stop the rain nor lions that roar
No time for bad a-winters, scatter seeds and spore
Small part of sky, world visions of poor
Here six waves come, seventh break shore
Where the rock is heavy, come the purest ore
Like a looking at the future, what is in store

What's in store is what we got
What's in store is what we got

If the cameras of kind won't skip the human core
In townships of humanity there would be no poor
From where the rock is heavy comes the purest ore
At first six waves might break in the bay, the seventh breaks on the shore

It's a long road to freedom
It's a long road to freedom
It's a long road to freedom
It's a long road to freedom

All the members at Hillsong sang the numbers "4 666 4" SIX TIMES!!

Revelation 13:16

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Members praise Hillsong saying that the church cares about them, but if this church cared about them as much as they proclaim it does, wouldn't Hillsong have prevented this? The answer to that is NO, Hillsong does not care about it's members! They do however care about what is in your wallets...

Which brings us to Hillsongs PROSPERITY GOSPEL! They teach 'The RICHER you are, the MORE people you can help'. At EVERY Hillsong service, there are under or on top of each seat an envelope and credit card form for believers to donate their pre-tax 10 per cent salary tithe. Ushers flood the aisles and pass black buckets down each row. The buckets have holes in the bottom, presumably to discourage parish-ioners from giving coins. And the rivers of cash keep flowing. And then after the service there is lots of merchandise (CD's, DVD's, books, etc... even a coffee shop) where you can go and spend MORE of your money. Now what does scripture say about selling in churches:

Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV)

 12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

 13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Mark 11:15-17 (KJV)

 15And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

 16And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

 17And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Luke 19:45-46 (KJV)

 45And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

 46Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Hillsong CLEARLY goes AGAINST the Word of God!

2 Timothy 3:16(KJV)

 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Note what items for which scripture is of profit. (doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness)
The Word of God is FREE! Yet Brian profits off every talk he gives: (Quote from The High Cost of Faith)

And then there are the thousands of dollars in "love offerings" Houston regularly personally pockets for every talk he gives on the international Pentecostal speaking circuit. 

What does scripture have to say about this:

1 Timothy 6:9-10 (KJV)

 9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

 10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

 24No 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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

YOU CANNOT SERVE MONEY AND GOD AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S EITHER MONEY OR GOD!

Luke 12:15 (KJV)

 15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Luke 18:25 (KJV)

 25For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Here is a great read about Hillsongs Brand Power and merchandising and what Hillsong is all about:

THE HIGH COST OF FAITH

Hillsong is also well known for their WATERED DOWN gospel, on their albums they have scripture with some paragraphs taken out, the paragraphs taken out are about repentance and sin, instead Hillsong teaches that all you need is to accept JESUS and you are saved.

Here is an example for you taken from the following blog:

 The False Gospel of Hillsong <- CLICK

To whom it may concern, 

I recently read through the CD liner notes of your "Hillsong Live - Mighty To Save" CD. In it I found an explanation on how to become a Christian. 

Here is what it said: 

"Our prayer is that you would discover the Author of Love . . . Jesus. His life and death represent the greatest gift of love the world will ever see . . . a gift for you. All you need to do is accept it . . . a brand new start to a life lived in relationship with God. Meeting God is as simple as praying a prayer . . . asking Jesus to meet you right where you are. If you are not sure that you know God, and that you are going to heaven, then make this your prayer today . . . 

Dear Lord Jesus 

I need You . . . I need Your grace to forgive me and I need your love to change me. Thank You for your amazing love. Thank You for giving me life and eternity. But above all, thank you for dying on the cross for me. 

I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Now I'm a Christian, which means You live in me.
I belong to You. I will live my life for You and I will love You forever . . . Amen." 

Now I am concerned about several things lacking in this presentation including Who God is, defining what sin is, that we must all be judged, and why Christ needed to die on the cross. These all give me great cause for concern with the gospel you are proclaiming. But I want to zero in on one particular issue. On your website you have a statement of "what we believe" which says this: 

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. (http://myhillsong.com/what-we-believe) 

Can you please explain to me why repentance is never mentioned in the gospel presentation in the CD's you sell but your website says that "in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins"? Can you tell me which one is the correct? 

Adding to this I noticed on the back cover of the CD liner notes a quotation of 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says: 

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

By checking in my Bible I found this verse to be incomplete and is missing the words in bold print: 

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

Can you explain to me why you deleted the line from that verse that speaks specifically about repentance? I hope you agree that it is very serious indeed to add to or delete information from sacred Scripture. 

I am very concerned about this. I'm sure you would agree that the stakes are high and it is imperative that we get the Gospel right. Eternal destinies hang in the balance. The Apostle Paul said:

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-9) 

There are NO EXCUSES! for removing parts of scripture, as the Word of God says:

Revelation 22:19 (KJV)

 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV)

 2Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32 (KJV)

 32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:6 (KJV)

 6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Overall Hillsong is a bad place to be, yet many of it's members stand strongly by the organisation, but one day they will be held accountable for their actions, even after having the truth shown to them, the question is... are they really willing to give up their soul just for an organisation?

2 Corinthians 6:17(KJV)

 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Hillsong theology is feel good preaching, self-love, prosperity etc. as this video explains from 2:00
