Why is it that every time I watch Michael speak I want to run up and give him a big hug? I just love this man! As always, we are blessed to have your intellectual insights Mr. Pearl. I fall asleep many nights listening to your soothing words of wisdom. Thank you!
The other awesome thing is this when I became a Christian 30 years ago I didn’t know anything about Bible or Bible translation I had a NIV and a king James version that my mother had given me when I was 12 years old the Lord kept telling me read the king James version I did not know why but I obeyed and have always read the king James version nothing like having the author whisper in your ear!❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
Thank you for doing this well and over needed history lesson on the God preserved scriptures we call the Bible. Yet the false "ones" tried, the gates of He'll have not prevailed and neither shall they. God bless you Mike for all you do. Also that picture you painted is gorgeous!
How about a text that I’m very interested in? The Book of Kells? Where does it list on being accurate and does anyone know where it was copied from? I remember it was written in 800 AD. and took 75 years to make. Thank you for all your work! God Bless and Protect You and your family!
Another book that makes for a good introductory to the lack of authenticity of the Sinaiticus is, "Was Codex Sinaiticus Written In 1840!" by J. A. Moorman. It follows mostly the historical debating that took place in the British press between Simonides and hos several detractors, with Simonides coming out on top, and Tischendorf's glaring refusal to participate in any way, even after being expressly and publicly challenged!
All English translations have problems, it's just that the kjv are far and few between and better known but even the worst of translations have some clarity when the kjv is seemingly vague but I always turn to the kjv in the end because nothing can capture the majesty like it has, it is the King version after all. But, it's okay to only use the kjv, but nobody should tell others that they have to only use the kjv.
The one thing I can point out about KJV inaccuracy is Corinthians 13:1. Its “if” not “though”. My school in Iraq we used the KJV to learn English, however we also had Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic. And the meaning is if not though. I believe the Geneva bible, the one that came before KJV is correct on this. As well as the NASB.
Question for you, did this evidence have any impact on your thinking on this topic? ( you stated ( not a king James only proponent? ) I’m very curious as how evidence effects the thinking of individuals who previously had no idea about this history.
im an accurate bible proponent, KJV has proven to be the most accurate ive found, everything fits the evidence perfectly, the only issue i have is ezekiel 38-39, rosh or chief prince, hebrew means both so neither is an error and it probably means both as in the chief prince is rosh, but since NKJV has translated it to rosh like the septuagint which i hold higher than the vulgate, and it looks like Russia is getting involved since we see it build up to that war now north of Israel, i think thats my preferred translation for that passage.
I really appreciate you doing a study on this. It's getting confusing... Bible gateway has 62 versions of the Bible. With each new version being required by copywrite laws to be 10% different that previous versions, that's quite a variance on the text!
All seeds in the modern world are copyrighted....the original seeds are removed from public access..it appears that even dna is in the previous of being copyrighted they want to own you? God made you.... The word of God cannon be copyrighted. It is proprietary to God....why can you see this
Yep and you'll notice that these Catholic versions, which I like to call them because they match up with The New American Bible, lean towards WORKS BASED SALVATION. Examples of verses include... Are saved- are being saved, Righteous Deeds of the Saints- the righteousness of the Saints, Believe not- obey not.
The NEW King James is as accurate and authentic as K.J.V. Bible. The M.E.V. has sometimes been esteemed as being a little over-simplified, but still accurate, if misleading.
thank you so much for this video! god put this in my sugested vis for a good reason, a friend of mine literally just questioned me about the kj5 bible not being proper txt and then this video pops up. :-)
I would love to see an in depth study on exactly how these texts are different. Where's the grind? If one or some are false what lie is being espoused or which truths are being subverted? I hear alot on this subject but not many go the extra step and explain exactly where and how and to what degree they differ. Love the video Mr Pearl. God Bless.
Read and understand... the apostles said...He that is of God hears us..he that is not of God hears us not..we can choose to listen to the apostles or doctored up versions of what. They said changed by people who didn't like what they said. King james only?... not really the issue....but what a gift freely given by dedicated. Christian scholarship...were they paid?..... they were probably afraid but did it anyway.... giving the commons people the bible w/o tyranny of state religion
Look into the Alexandrian vs Antioch. A lot comes up and it will show you exactly how they changed it. I find the new texts harbour doubt where the KJV gives assurance.
Before I moved out on my own to a studio, I was blinded by my sins. Being addicted to pornography was one of them. I always believed in Jesus, but I dont think I was truly born again until around 4 years ago. When I moved out on my own, I found a Bible that I had packed. (My family owned many Bibles, but I never really read the Bible growing up). It was a New Living Translation Bible. I began reading and God really spoke to my heart. He convicted me of my sins and taught me how to have a personal relationship with Him. I developed a more prayerful life and a new desire to read His word. I now have a new desire to follow Jesus and surrender everything to Him. Though I slip into sin, the Holy Spirit guides me to ask for forgiveness and to put my eyes back on Jesus. I believe God used the time I spent alone living in my studio to get to really know Him through His word, and the Bible I read was the New Living Translation....I believe God speaks to people in different ways and not just through only one translation.
I respect your view on having God’s word lead you to a place of repentance, I was lead by many differing opinions and doctrines to that same place. It’s our job at that point to “prove everything, hold fast that which is good.” (I Thessalonians 5:21) Though the words of God be spoken through men with bad doctrine, it’s still God’s words. Same with the differing bible versions, they can lead to repentance, but teach bad doctrine. I’m happy for you and keep your mind on Christ
ive experienced it too, God can even use people saying inaccurate sentences from the bible, still having an accurate bible is important for our faith and evidence points me to KJV, but im fine with NKJV aswell based on my knowledge.
New Living Translation no problem. As long as you're reading the Bible. Myself, I desired to get deeper into what God Said and what God wants for my life and I noticed some differences in versions. After researching those differences I settled in on a Bible I chose to read. I love your story, keep up the good work brother.
Respect your preference... But, there's a problem with modern versions, they might bring you to know Jesus as Savior, but regarding deliverance from sin, like true deliverance from sin... You'll only get it from a the traditional text... In English, the perfect Bible translation KJV1611. Otherwise... "Versions of the Bible" will keep people falling in sin, because it's message about sin's deliverance is a lie... Dontrine on been "free from sin", is corrupted. Topic on "flesh", is corrupted.... No way to be truly free from sin. If someone wants to get the original revelation... That person must get a faithful manuscript/Bible that comes from the traditional text. No other way.
Guess who loved Wescott and Hort's Greek new testament? Helena Blavatsky and Darwin. The contemporary Bible scholars largely panned the Codex Siniaticus and W&H 1881 Greek NT. "Do not be decieved, evil communications corrupt good manners."
Been watching Muslims debate Christian’s and they’re best is to point out the ‘contradictions’ within the Gospels it’s great that your doing this because I don’t believe there’s contradictions just manuscript error..
I followed a guy who was a Muslim, who converted to Christianity and he pointed out tons of actual errors and contradictions in the Quran. He also knows about the external writings of Muhammad, and that gets really crazy... especially when compared to the Quran.
Yet they can’t tell that the whole koran is one giant mess. David Wood and Sam Shamoon and his crew obliterate Islam. If you can’t tell it’s false as a Muslim apologist than you want to believe the lie.
Of a truth! It's easy to turn the tables though...the Quran has Miriam, the sister of Moses, contemporary with Mary, the virgin who was overshadowed & conceived the only begotten Son of Man. And many such errors. And the Hadiths are downright embarrassing. Van Nattan at blessedquietness and Usama Dakdok.
Thanks for the video! I live in Munford up in Tipton County. I’m sure you know where it’s at. I’m pretty much a KJV onlyist even though I do enjoy reading my Geneva (Breeches) Bible as well. Keep up the good work :).
Good presentation I have one question though, when Konstantin Simonides forged the bible, did he use the poluted 1% of the manuscript? or he was the one producing the 1% corrupted manuscript? thanks
I would appreciate if you could do a video showing where the differences occur in the different translations. I have often wondered which translation is, not the best, but the most accurate? At this time I use the New American Standard 1995 (NASB95) because I find it easy to read and understand. I often compare passages to the King James version (KJV) and never see any differences. All I see is that the NASB95 is just much easier to read and understand; the meaning is the same. So again...Where are the differences and/or errors between the KJV and other English Bibles? Thank you for your work and ministry Mr. Pearl.
New Age Bible versions by Gail ripplinger. This book opened my eyes tremendously to all the differences. It has list after list after list. I liked it so much I bought boxes of this book to give away.
Hmmm! At min 2:50 you say “the only text” but in a previous video you stated “there were english versions in the 10th and 11th centuries” and didnt Tyndale publish the perfect version just before the KJV, one he should not have been burned at the stake for?
Geneva Bible is part of the good stream. In there with Wycliffe version, Tyndale version, Cloverdale Bible, Matthews Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops Bible, and the KJV.
My question is do we have the KJV because of the Catholic Church or would we still have the Bible today without religion being in play like I mean in the background? I mean would we still have the Bible if it wouldn't be for a Cult religion ? MY QUESTION TO The Door !!
Bother pls tell me why în 1611 bible says în one of the comentments to not kill, but Christians still belive in killing in self defence?! Pls clarity this for me...I know that in word by word translation, from Hebrew it clearly says do not murder, wich is different,....is the 1611 translation suffering here and there, and in this case more specific with this commentment? I would truly appreciate your answer! Much respect and love in our Lord Jesus!
It all depends who's asking. Is it someone who likes reading it and enjoys it? Then keep reading it. Is it someone who's a mature Christian and serious about God's word? That person may want to research the matter.
I think you need to correct a mistake - after the 6:15 mark, you said "The original NT is written...and during the first century the apostles went all over the known world. And, when they did, they translated copies of that bible into those languages..." Michael, I think you meant to say "disciples" instead of "apostles" correct? Because, the epistles never mention the apostles translating copies, right?
Hello again Mike, I have a question for you? How accurate are the NKJV and MEV Bible’s that supposedly were translated from the exact same manuscripts as the KJV! Do you anything about this? Thank you Mike for your help.
I started reading a New King James version as a early Christian and enjoyed it. It definitely helped me to transition easily to the KJV. I did happen to notice that the New King James is like the new versions in way too many areas. But it was a good starter Bible.
You brought up the manuscripts of Codex Vaticanus and Codex Siniaticus but they both disagree with each other and omit excessively? From what I understand?
What gets me is that saved Baptist that should know better and dont... Someday we will find out if really meant what he said in Revelation 22:18-19........
Would be really good if you could share some examples of verses that are translated badly or missing the original meaning. I know lot's of people stay away or leave the KJV because it uses old English that they are not familiar with. Is there any modern English translation that are good or has that not been done correctly yet?
Thank you for yoru question. Mike and his son Nathan have some videos on that topic that you might find helpful. ruclips.net/video/1gM5azl_738/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/mJ1mAFHpRkg/видео.html
Yes there are several newer translations that are better than the kjv. The best Bible to read is the nkjv. It is hands down the most accurate due to the fact that the dead sea scrolls were not discovered until many years after the kjv was written. So that stands to reason the nkjv will obviously be a more accurate translation.
@ Kinu Grove , People can use the modern equivalent words for example --- thy to-- your --- Ghost to SPIRIT --- ( as in reference to THE Person ---- * THE HOLY SPIRIT ---- it's quite easy to change the old English language to our modern language. -------As re. The majority of words. --- *** However , some other words have different meanings even to our modern meanings. ----
New Age Bible versions by Gail riplinger has pages and pages of the differences. Such an impressive book for me that I bought boxes to give out copies. You'll love it.
As far as Old English, there's maybe 200-300 words that we don't recognize? Well the book will not change, so what I do is I go to the dictionary and I write the definition of that word right into my Bible. Once I know that word I'm done. It will never change. Before too long the KJV is easy as the Holy Spirit guides Us in all truth of what it says. Pray for understanding and get a dictionary. God bless you keep up the good work.
My defense against any and all who want to question the authenticity of the Bible goes, if, IF! my God is real and capable of creating the universe then He is capable of giving us the word He requires us to read. PLUS! God gave us a conformation by making the bible the first printed book.
Yes good one I say the same thing. How did God use man to make Noah's Ark? How did God use man to make the temple of God and all its perfect dimensions and materials? Why can't God can use man to put together and write out a Bible as well? Keep up the good work brother. God bless you.
They didn't and that's almost borderline blasphemy to say such. That makes Jesus a liar. Matthew 16:18-19 the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Yet somehow atheists and paganism infiltrated the church. It's just blasphemy and sheer ignorance of the original languages.
Love your shows. I know the NKJV is suppose to be 10% different than the KJV but are you saying the NKJV is part of the false Sinai bibles since I thought you were saying all except KJV are false?
Masoretic text thought/comment: Masoretic text = OT (only) text preserved by jews between 7th and 10th centuries AD Who is preserving the NT during this time (and obviously before) and what does the 5000 plus variants in the NT have to do with the Masoretic text being the most pure OT text? In other words- why do we Christians care one iota how Jews in the 9th century AD are translating OUR now bible? If we should be concerned then shouldn’t we just simply throw away our OT and use the current Jewish translation of the Hebrew Scriptures? If the 9th century Jewish is good/better, shouldn’t the 21st century version be even better?
Mike, I have but one question....I have heard you read from the Bible and am SURE you are not using the exact text of the 1611 KJV. If the 1611 KJV is the only correct version (translation); why do you not use the exact words and text of the 1611 KJV?
I prefer the KJV. But where is a modern English version that still retains all the text? What other versions of the Bible are based on the Majority Text? We do need to face the reality that many of the words used in the KJV do not have the same meanings today.
I'd say if people can understand Shakespeare with it's old English then we definitely can understand the KJV, we don't need to have things updated for a modern language especially since our language has been getting butchered right now. If you don't understand what a word means then just look it up but if you read it long enough you'll understand it's like trying to read a manga compared to a comic book sure it's a different way of reading but it gets easier and it's also what makes it special
Oh yes absolutely. There was lots of weird little spelling issues they had to work out and I think it took 100 years lol. My KJV I think was finally finished in 1700 something, wasn't it?
Hey there. I would watch the first video of this series to understand the context of his presentation which address the fact that all new English translations, other then the kjv, come from a false Greek manuscript. Hence why he speaks of Tishindore ect hope that helps
Is it? You haven't done any research on it then.. Because that's not truth.. The old testament is written original in Hebrew New testament is written in Greek. That was the most spoken language in that time, so written in it.
Yes to convince everyone. That their ideas are true. And what you been taught isn't real. That you should change what you learned. Right and wrong values to live by. According to God's word. Should be challenged. They twist things. Tell you it's for your own good. And it's not.
Everyone agrees that thousands and thousands of manuscripts are all generally in agreement. Yet, not a single pair of hand-written manuscripts are word for word identical. But, we're confident we know what the original said because there are SO many copies where the vast majority of texts are similar enough to know which words have been transposed or omitted here or there... but not a single copy is letter for letter perfect. The original message can be presumed infallible, sure. And I agree that God's word has been -sufficiently- preserved. But no manuscript is flawless. We shouldn't idolize Sinaiticus, but we also can't idolize the Textus receptus or the 1611 edition of the KJV (which no baptist would ever read. If they actually read a 1611 KJV, they'd immediately call it heretical).
John 3:16-18 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Here's a perfect example of what's wrong with the newer versions. Many of them say in John 3:36 that instead of those who "do not believe," it says those who "do not obey." Works based salvation. And they say Doctrine has not changed in the newer version. Clear example in verse 36.
AMEN I trust the Lord to protects his Word as He IS the Word. I agree with Michael (well done btw) that the KJV is true. I even believe it is under protection of the Lord. It has been attacked (by Satan) from many sides, but it always remained and it always will be. Only true believers can see the truth and the Lords work in that fact. IMHO: Satan actually shows us that Jesus is protecting the KJV. "Doubting the word of God" is something to expect from Satan. He is still doing that in the "Synagogue of Satan". The Jews are still not allowed to read Isaiah #53 and still ignore the Law (Dn 9:24-> Jrmh 2:32-> Lev 25:1-13). Are you tempted? Or simply know the KJV to be true?
For some - compare The KJV Rev 13:16 where “ to receive a mark in their right hand , or in their foreheads :” To NKJV and many other versions Rev13:16 where “ to receive a mark ON their right hand , or ON their foreheads .” Now think of what is happening in Sweden now with chips being inserted IN the hands NOW ! Seemingly innocent words manipulated can have consequences..
I appreciate your intent to find a truth. There is so much we all do not understand factually. The factual factor fails when someone tries to understand it from a human source. The entire idea of this argument wreaks of insecurities. You are reading an instruction manual regarding how to live and die - a book - a book. Is this how humans were designed? It is quite the "what to think approach" video. "Well the book says...." That is precisely where you will start losing people. People if you listen to this man and want to know the truth based off what he said, then learn Hebrew, learn Koine Greek, learn Aramaic and I mean really learn it and then gain access to the original texts and consume them. He is making an argument for originality without really proving anything. I'm sorry you attended a poor established Bible college. Ignorance entering ignorance, but at least you feel wiser now even if you are not. Thanks for this piece of your puzzle. Good luck catching the wind. God bless.
Had I not studied out the issue for myself, I may have fallen to some of James White's arguments that lead people to embrace modern versions. Many commenters on videos on this subject cite his book as the reason for not holding to a Received Text Bible.
That book is completely corrupt. Sorry to say that. Not sure why people trash the KJV. Is it not a good bible? It was perfectly fine for 300 years in this country? People stood up when reading from that book. It was revered and you could confidently say, "thus saith the Lord." Today now Scholars say, we don't have the word of God in our hands.. it's only in the original writings," which of course no one has because they don't exist. See how far we've Fallen?
I'm 70 years old and was raised on the KJV. But over the many decades I have studied a lot of various translations. I have many from both the Alexandrian and the Byzantine sources. Up until around 20 years ago I had never read any pre-KJV bibles. But I have now! There are errors is ALL English translations. Even the KJV. Much of it due to English being an ever-changing language in how words are used. But I find that the Byzantine bibles are superior. The GENEVA Bible particularly! I have a small issue of the 1611 translators having to word their text to please the King. King James hated the GENEVA BIBLE only because of the notes. He had no problem with the texts. The GENEVA Bible did not have that weight on them. They fled England to escape Bloody Mary and produced their text without the weight of any monarchy. When you get used to the language usage, its a beautiful text indeed! John Knox, that great preacher of that day, was in that mix of translators.
Why is it that every time I watch Michael speak I want to run up and give him a big hug? I just love this man! As always, we are blessed to have your intellectual insights Mr. Pearl. I fall asleep many nights listening to your soothing words of wisdom. Thank you!
Love your paintings and the way you teach the Bible. Thank you.
Chris Pinto & Daniels from Chick tracts have done wonderful work on this very subject
God has definetly gifted you with talent.
Beautiful paintings.
Your paintings are beautiful! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us, thank you so much and also to the ones behind the scene 💜👑✝️
The other awesome thing is this when I became a Christian 30 years ago I didn’t know anything about Bible or Bible translation I had a NIV and a king James version that my mother had given me when I was 12 years old
the Lord kept telling me read the king James version I did not know why but I obeyed and have always read the king James version nothing like having the author whisper in your ear!❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
Praise The Lord 🙌🏻
God's Blessings!
That's a real eye opener Michael. Thank you for clearing that up.I love hearing what you have to say.
Thank you Brother Pearl on your Teachings of KJV Bible... I Pray many will see these Teachings... God Bless Your Ministry... 🙏
Thank you for doing this well and over needed history lesson on the God preserved scriptures we call the Bible. Yet the false "ones" tried, the gates of He'll have not prevailed and neither shall they. God bless you Mike for all you do. Also that picture you painted is gorgeous!
I watched part 1 as well. This has been on my heart lately. Thank you for sharing and I will be reading that book as well!
Awesome teaching Mike, thank you so much.
How about a text that I’m very interested in? The Book of Kells?
Where does it list on being accurate and does anyone know where it was copied from? I remember it was written in 800 AD. and took 75 years to make.
Thank you for all your work! God Bless and Protect You and your family!
very beautiful painting God bless
GOD-BLESS YOU SIR. PLEASE PRAY FOR US SINNERS.

Not a KJV only proponent, but been looking forward to this video from you. Thanks for the time and effort you put into all your videos.
All English translations have problems, it's just that the kjv are far and few between and better known but even the worst of translations have some clarity when the kjv is seemingly vague but I always turn to the kjv in the end because nothing can capture the majesty like it has, it is the King version after all.

@@theOzzzmeisterhe must be too busy for questions. Especially yes or no questions. He just wants to sell books he doesn't make money on 🙄
Thanks for all your time and work.
Michael - have been waiting for part 2 , thanks . Part 1 interesting if not absolutely critical .
Appreciate the research and with you on this .
Your talent is amazing
Really like your paintings Pastor! And your videos!
I really appreciate you doing a study on this.
It's getting confusing...
Bible gateway has 62 versions of the Bible.
With each new version being required by copywrite laws to be 10% different that previous versions, that's quite a variance on the text!
I believe it’s actually more then 40% different in order to avoid copyright infringement
All seeds in the modern world are copyrighted....the original seeds are removed from public access..it appears that even dna is in the previous of being copyrighted they want to own you? God made you.... The word of God cannon be copyrighted. It is proprietary to God....why can you see this
Yep and you'll notice that these Catholic versions, which I like to call them because they match up with The New American Bible, lean towards WORKS BASED SALVATION. Examples of verses include...
Are saved- are being saved,
Righteous Deeds of the Saints- the righteousness of the Saints,
Believe not- obey not.
Thank you for setting the record strait, Most interested in hearing your thoughts concerning the NIV version.
Thanks brother's LOVE THE 'WORD' FEEL ( like real ) THE 'WORD' AMEN hope to see you soon x
What about NKJV cause all those word I don’t understand it in the KJV
Thank you.
Wow you are talented painter
Thankyou for explaining the discrepancies.
You have good honest content. Very good indeed. Thank you.
Thank you brother brother Pearl.❤️
How about the new versions based on the received text like the NKJV and the MEV?
The NEW King James
is as accurate and authentic as
K.J.V. Bible. The M.E.V.
has sometimes been esteemed as
being a little over-simplified,
but still accurate, if misleading.
thank you so much for this video! god put this in my sugested vis for a good reason, a friend of mine literally just questioned me about the kj5 bible not being proper txt and then this video pops up. :-)
I would love to see an in depth study on exactly how these texts are different. Where's the grind? If one or some are false what lie is being espoused or which truths are being subverted? I hear alot on this subject but not many go the extra step and explain exactly where and how and to what degree they differ.
Love the video Mr Pearl. God Bless.
Thank you for commenting. We will definitely keep that in mind.
Brother , compare 1John 5:7 from KJV vs ESV, NIV
1 John 5:7 is the definitive Scripture proving the Trinity.
You can go and watch listen to videos from the King James Bible research council. Sorenson and brown along with others have great talks on there
Read and understand... the apostles said...He that is of God hears us..he that is not of God hears us not..we can choose to listen to the apostles or doctored up versions of what. They said changed by people who didn't like what they said. King james only?... not really the issue....but what a gift freely given by dedicated. Christian scholarship...were they paid?..... they were probably afraid but did it anyway.... giving the commons people the bible w/o tyranny of state religion
Look into the Alexandrian vs Antioch. A lot comes up and it will show you exactly how they changed it. I find the new texts harbour doubt where the KJV gives assurance.
Thank you for trying to promote the true word of God.
You are talented🤩 artist
Before I moved out on my own to a studio, I was blinded by my sins. Being addicted to pornography was one of them. I always believed in Jesus, but I dont think I was truly born again until around 4 years ago. When I moved out on my own, I found a Bible that I had packed. (My family owned many Bibles, but I never really read the Bible growing up). It was a New Living Translation Bible. I began reading and God really spoke to my heart.

"Versions of the Bible" will keep people falling in sin, because it's message about sin's deliverance is a lie... Dontrine on been "free from sin", is corrupted. Topic on "flesh", is corrupted.... No way to be truly free from sin. If someone wants to get the original revelation... That person must get a faithful manuscript/Bible that comes from the traditional text. No other way.
Been waiting for this one.
I am your new subscriber
These are great. You can't make enough of these, so little truth on the versions topic out there.
Very very interesting Pastor Pearl.
He's interesting but not very much, but he is truthful, unique, multi- gifted.
Thank you God bless you
Good job on the art work brother Michael!,
Guess who loved Wescott and Hort's Greek new testament? Helena Blavatsky and Darwin. The contemporary Bible scholars largely panned the Codex Siniaticus and W&H 1881 Greek NT. "Do not be decieved, evil communications corrupt good manners."
I thank The 🙏 Lord
Been watching Muslims debate Christian’s and they’re best is to point out the ‘contradictions’ within the Gospels it’s great that your doing this because I don’t believe there’s contradictions just manuscript error..
Yes, and yet the cultists of Mohammed deny the many contradicting translations of the Qur'an and the many thousands of weak and discarded a'Hadith.
I followed a guy who was a Muslim, who converted to Christianity and he pointed out tons of actual errors and contradictions in the Quran. He also knows about the external writings of Muhammad, and that gets really crazy... especially when compared to the Quran.
Muslims don't rightly divide I suspect.
Yet they can’t tell that the whole koran is one giant mess. David Wood and Sam Shamoon and his crew obliterate Islam. If you can’t tell it’s false as a Muslim apologist than you want to believe the lie.
Of a truth! It's easy to turn the tables though...the Quran has Miriam, the sister of Moses, contemporary with Mary, the virgin who was overshadowed & conceived the only begotten Son of Man. And many such errors. And the Hadiths are downright embarrassing. Van Nattan at blessedquietness and Usama Dakdok.
All professors and "scholars" do is push lies. Michael is such a wise man.
Thank you!
Very interesting
I could see using the kjv but using words from to day for some of the old English words, which aren't used to day.
😊
Thanks for the video! I live in Munford up in Tipton County. I’m sure you know where it’s at. I’m pretty much a KJV onlyist even though I do enjoy reading my Geneva (Breeches) Bible as well. Keep up the good work :).
You'll notice the KJV matches up with the Geneva Bible. Same lineage.
Same with the Matthews Bible, which is Tyndales/Coverdales. Both Tyndale and Rogers were martyred for this translation
Good presentation I have one question though, when Konstantin Simonides forged the bible, did he use the poluted 1% of the manuscript? or he was the one producing the 1% corrupted manuscript? thanks
My friend kam tube sent me to your
Channel
The Lord Allows His Children to See The Lies Being Formed Against Us And Is By Our Sides In Battle.
so what bible do I read
I read out of a NKJV . Is that alright for me to do ?
It is absolutely perfectly alright to read that Bible. Read it as much as you can. God bless you and keep up the good work.
What's your view on the Charles Thomson Bible?
I would appreciate if you could do a video showing where the differences occur in the different translations. I have often wondered which translation is, not the best, but the most accurate? At this time I use the New American Standard 1995 (NASB95) because I find it easy to read and understand. I often compare passages to the King James version (KJV) and never see any differences. All I see is that the NASB95 is just much easier to read and understand; the meaning is the same. So again...Where are the differences and/or errors between the KJV and other English Bibles? Thank you for your work and ministry Mr. Pearl.
New Age Bible versions by Gail ripplinger. This book opened my eyes tremendously to all the differences.
It has list after list after list. I liked it so much I bought boxes of this book to give away.
Is the HCSB from the corrupt line, or the true line?
You are right.
The KJV is a great book to learn and study. It is highly detailed.
Hmmm! At min 2:50 you say “the only text” but in a previous video you stated “there were english versions in the 10th and 11th centuries” and didnt Tyndale publish the perfect version just before the KJV, one he should not have been burned at the stake for?
My ocd wants the electrical box door closed…lol
LOL I noticed that right off!! Mine is also open!!
me too
Me too! My wife says she has CDO.
It's like OCD, but in the right order like it should be!
😄
And the paper towels flipped... I'm with ya hahaha God bless
Question: would the 1599 Geneva (GNV) also be from the corrupted stream? Thank you so much for all that you do, God Bless
Geneva Bible is part of the good stream. In there with Wycliffe version, Tyndale version, Cloverdale Bible, Matthews Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops Bible, and the KJV.
Look up Antioch vs Alexandrian.
My question is do we have the KJV because of the Catholic Church
or would we still have the Bible today without religion being in play
like I mean in the background? I mean would we still have the Bible
if it wouldn't be for a Cult religion ? MY QUESTION TO The Door !!
Bother pls tell me why în 1611 bible says în one of the comentments to not kill, but Christians still belive in killing in self defence?! Pls clarity this for me...I know that in word by word translation, from Hebrew it clearly says do not murder, wich is different,....is the 1611 translation suffering here and there, and in this case more specific with this commentment? I would truly appreciate your answer! Much respect and love in our Lord Jesus!
I would truly appreciate an answer from you!
First view and like right here baby. Biggest fan hashtag
What of the NKJV🤔 is it also down river from the outhouse mike?😅
It all depends who's asking. Is it someone who likes reading it and enjoys it? Then keep reading it.
Is it someone who's a mature Christian and serious about God's word? That person may want to research the matter.
What version do Catholics use?
What do you think of the new king James bible Pastor Pearl .?
I think you need to correct a mistake - after the 6:15 mark, you said "The original NT is written...and during the first century the apostles went all over the known world. And, when they did, they translated copies of that bible into those languages..." Michael, I think you meant to say "disciples" instead of "apostles" correct?
Because, the epistles never mention the apostles translating copies, right?
Hello again Mike,
I have a question for you? How accurate are the NKJV and MEV Bible’s that supposedly were translated from the exact same manuscripts as the KJV! Do you anything about this?
Thank you Mike for your help.
I started reading a New King James version as a early Christian and enjoyed it. It definitely helped me to transition easily to the KJV.
I did happen to notice that the New King James is like the new versions in way too many areas. But it was a good starter Bible.
To answer your question at the beginning of the video Mike, yes, yes I can. 6 Million times over, yes. Let the reader see and understand.
You brought up the manuscripts of Codex Vaticanus and Codex Siniaticus but they both disagree with each other and omit excessively? From what I understand?
You are correct. And why don't we have a Siniaticus Bible? Because there's not a complete siniaticus manuscript. There's so much missing !!
What gets me is that saved Baptist that should know better and dont... Someday we will find out if really meant what he said in Revelation 22:18-19........
What about the New King James version ?????????????
Would be really good if you could share some examples of verses that are translated badly or missing the original meaning. I know lot's of people stay away or leave the KJV because it uses old English that they are not familiar with. Is there any modern English translation that are good or has that not been done correctly yet?
Thank you for yoru question. Mike and his son Nathan have some videos on that topic that you might find helpful. ruclips.net/video/1gM5azl_738/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/mJ1mAFHpRkg/видео.html
Yes there are several newer translations that are better than the kjv. The best Bible to read is the nkjv. It is hands down the most accurate due to the fact that the dead sea scrolls were not discovered until many years after the kjv was written. So that stands to reason the nkjv will obviously be a more accurate translation.
@ Kinu Grove , People can use the modern equivalent words for example --- thy to-- your --- Ghost to SPIRIT --- ( as in reference to THE Person ---- * THE HOLY SPIRIT ---- it's quite easy to change the old English language to our modern language. -------As re. The majority of words. --- *** However , some other words have different meanings even to our modern meanings. ----
New Age Bible versions by Gail riplinger has pages and pages of the differences. Such an impressive book for me that I bought boxes to give out copies. You'll love it.
As far as Old English, there's maybe 200-300 words that we don't recognize? Well the book will not change, so what I do is I go to the dictionary and I write the definition of that word right into my Bible.
Once I know that word I'm done. It will never change. Before too long the KJV is easy as the Holy Spirit guides Us in all truth of what it says. Pray for understanding and get a dictionary. God bless you keep up the good work.
My defense against any and all who want to question the authenticity of the Bible goes, if, IF! my God is real and capable of creating the universe then He is capable of giving us the word He requires us to read. PLUS! God gave us a conformation by making the bible the first printed book.
Yes good one I say the same thing. How did God use man to make Noah's Ark? How did God use man to make the temple of God and all its perfect dimensions and materials? Why can't God can use man to put together and write out a Bible as well?
Keep up the good work brother. God bless you.
How did the church and the church scholars allow text’s found by atheists to become so prevalent?
They didn't and that's almost borderline blasphemy to say such. That makes Jesus a liar. Matthew 16:18-19 the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Yet somehow atheists and paganism infiltrated the church. It's just blasphemy and sheer ignorance of the original languages.
I thought that painting was real lord
I'm not a KJV only, but what do you think about the Geneva Bible?
Based on same "text" as all Reformation Bibles, beginning 1537!
Same lineage as KJV.
2 COR 4:3-4 AMEN X
Love your shows. I know the NKJV is suppose to be 10% different than the KJV but are you saying the NKJV is part of the false Sinai bibles since I thought you were saying all except KJV are false?
I have several N.I.V bibles, catholic bibles for sale!
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Your a amazing painter Michael much better than Hunter Biden. I love your teaching of the Bible also thank you.
Masoretic text thought/comment:
Masoretic text = OT (only) text preserved by jews between 7th and 10th centuries AD
Who is preserving the NT during this time (and obviously before) and what does the 5000 plus variants in the NT have to do with the Masoretic text being the most pure OT text?
In other words- why do we Christians care one iota how Jews in the 9th century AD are translating OUR now bible? If we should be concerned then shouldn’t we just simply throw away our OT and use the current Jewish translation of the Hebrew Scriptures? If the 9th century Jewish is good/better, shouldn’t the 21st century version be even better?
Mike, I have but one question....I have heard you read from the Bible and am SURE you are not using the exact text of the 1611 KJV. If the 1611 KJV is the only correct version (translation); why do you not use the exact words and text of the 1611 KJV?
Thank you for that question. Mike has an earlier video where he addresses this: ruclips.net/video/5vg7meQ7jIE/видео.html
I think they had to fix a bunch of little spelling errors and finally got it right around 1700 something.
❤
I prefer the KJV. But where is a modern English version that still retains all the text? What other versions of the Bible are based on the Majority Text? We do need to face the reality that many of the words used in the KJV do not have the same meanings today.
I'd say if people can understand Shakespeare with it's old English then we definitely can understand the KJV, we don't need to have things updated for a modern language especially since our language has been getting butchered right now. If you don't understand what a word means then just look it up but if you read it long enough you'll understand it's like trying to read a manga compared to a comic book sure it's a different way of reading but it gets easier and it's also what makes it special
And yet the forward written by the interpreters of the KJV explains how they made errors and later versions will be better.
Oh yes absolutely. There was lots of weird little spelling issues they had to work out and I think it took 100 years lol. My KJV I think was finally finished in 1700 something, wasn't it?
You keep talking about the Greek but never mention that all of it would have been written first in Hebrew.
Hey there. I would watch the first video of this series to understand the context of his presentation which address the fact that all new English translations, other then the kjv, come from a false Greek manuscript. Hence why he speaks of Tishindore ect hope that helps
New testament written in almost wholly Greek.Old testament almost wholly Hebrew.
New testament was Greek. That was the trade language of the time.
new testament was in Greek. The old or Masoretic was mostly in Hebrew.
Is it? You haven't done any research on it then.. Because that's not truth..
The old testament is written original in Hebrew
New testament is written in Greek.
That was the most spoken language in that time, so written in it.
Yes to convince everyone. That their ideas are true. And what you been taught isn't real. That you should change what you learned. Right and wrong values to live by. According to God's word. Should be challenged. They twist things. Tell you it's for your own good. And it's not.
Why didn’t that guy do the right thing and destroy his made up book!
Everyone agrees that thousands and thousands of manuscripts are all generally in agreement. Yet, not a single pair of hand-written manuscripts are word for word identical. But, we're confident we know what the original said because there are SO many copies where the vast majority of texts are similar enough to know which words have been transposed or omitted here or there... but not a single copy is letter for letter perfect.
The original message can be presumed infallible, sure. And I agree that God's word has been -sufficiently- preserved. But no manuscript is flawless. We shouldn't idolize Sinaiticus, but we also can't idolize the Textus receptus or the 1611 edition of the KJV (which no baptist would ever read. If they actually read a 1611 KJV, they'd immediately call it heretical).
John 3:16-18 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Here's a perfect example of what's wrong with the newer versions. Many of them say in John 3:36 that instead of those who "do not believe," it says those who "do not obey."
Works based salvation. And they say Doctrine has not changed in the newer version. Clear example in verse 36.

AMEN
I trust the Lord to protects his Word as He IS the Word.
I agree with Michael (well done btw) that the KJV is true. I even believe it is under protection of the Lord.
It has been attacked (by Satan) from many sides, but it always remained and it always will be.
Only true believers can see the truth and the Lords work in that fact.
IMHO: Satan actually shows us that Jesus is protecting the KJV. "Doubting the word of God" is something to expect from Satan.
He is still doing that in the "Synagogue of Satan". The Jews are still not allowed to read Isaiah #53 and still ignore the Law (Dn 9:24-> Jrmh 2:32-> Lev 25:1-13).
Are you tempted? Or simply know the KJV to be true?
For some - compare The KJV Rev 13:16
where “ to receive a mark in their right hand , or in their foreheads :”
To NKJV and many other versions Rev13:16 where “ to receive a mark ON their right hand , or ON their foreheads .”
Now think of what is happening in Sweden now with chips being inserted IN the hands NOW !
Seemingly innocent words manipulated can have consequences..
I appreciate your intent to find a truth. There is so much we all do not understand factually. The factual factor fails when someone tries to understand it from a human source.
The entire idea of this argument wreaks of insecurities. You are reading an instruction manual regarding how to live and die - a book - a book. Is this how humans were designed? It is quite the "what to think approach" video. "Well the book says...." That is precisely where you will start losing people.
People if you listen to this man and want to know the truth based off what he said, then learn Hebrew, learn Koine Greek, learn Aramaic and I mean really learn it and then gain access to the original texts and consume them. He is making an argument for originality without really proving anything. I'm sorry you attended a poor established Bible college. Ignorance entering ignorance, but at least you feel wiser now even if you are not. Thanks for this piece of your puzzle. Good luck catching the wind. God bless.
Speak with James White, the author of The King James Controversy. There are corrupted versions, but KJV is NOT the most accurate translation.
Had I not studied out the issue for myself, I may have fallen to some of James White's arguments that lead people to embrace modern versions. Many commenters on videos on this subject cite his book as the reason for not holding to a Received Text Bible.
That book is completely corrupt. Sorry to say that.
Not sure why people trash the KJV. Is it not a good bible? It was perfectly fine for 300 years in this country?
People stood up when reading from that book. It was revered and you could confidently say, "thus saith the Lord."
Today now Scholars say, we don't have the word of God in our hands.. it's only in the original writings," which of course no one has because they don't exist. See how far we've Fallen?
I'm 70 years old and was raised on the KJV. But over the many decades I have studied a lot of various translations. I have many from both the Alexandrian and the Byzantine sources. Up until around 20 years ago I had never read any pre-KJV bibles. But I have now! There are errors is ALL English translations. Even the KJV. Much of it due to English being an ever-changing language in how words are used. But I find that the Byzantine bibles are superior. The GENEVA Bible particularly! I have a small issue of the 1611 translators having to word their text to please the King. King James hated the GENEVA BIBLE only because of the notes. He had no problem with the texts. The GENEVA Bible did not have that weight on them. They fled England to escape Bloody Mary and produced their text without the weight of any monarchy. When you get used to the language usage, its a beautiful text indeed! John Knox, that great preacher of that day, was in that mix of translators.
Too bad we don't speak 17th century English today. We do have one based on the TR but you KJV only people reject it.
