Appreciate this informative. I’ve been an NIV reader for a few years and started looking at other versions to compare wording. I’m surprised at how different translations can be. Started reading KJV, and though it hurts my brain to understand the meaning at times, I’m sure it will get better over time.
After awhile you will understand the words and you will appreciate the KJV.
It forces us to ask Him for understanding as opposed to having man give us their understanding of it.
Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord , and depart from evil.
Words are different because a) there are 2 primary sources of manuscripts, the Byzantine text and the Alexandrian text. 2) Greek and Hebrew are much more dynamic that English. English is very flat in comparison. So choosing the perfect word is often a matter of opinion. If you want to dig into the Bible than learning Greek and Hebrew is what you want to do not just look at English versions. I like KJV, NKJV, ESV ect. The best Bible translation is the one you actually read.
If you'll get or go online to Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the English language, it will help with definitions of words you are not familiar with. It even gives KJV references to where word is used
It definately will, it may even become beautiful!
Stick with it 🙂
Thanks for this, can't wait for part two!
Many modern "bible" translation users who are deceived, will find it infuriating that their dislike button no longer works. Oh well, love your teachings Mike!
Thank you Michael. Can't wait for part 2
Looking forward to part 2. Have learned so much from your videos these past couple years. Thank you
I've been waiting on this for a very long time. Thank you!
Looking forward to part 2 thank you very much for sharing!
Loving your videos. Always so informative and truthful.
I'm looking forward to part 2! Your channel is a great blessing
Thanks for all your time and work.
Awesome Michael I am passing this around .
Looking forward to pt. 2
Thank you. Bro. Pearl. Pray for you all often.
This is a great subject! Thank you for doing this
Great explanation and video. I really enjoy your ministry.
As a child 17 years before my New Birth I felt the Bible wasn't correctly translated, @Michael Pearl, but knew God wanted it that way because He didn't want man thinking we could get back to him by our own understanding. I felt it was written so we would "Trust in God with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding."
I listened to this in the early evening of the 31st but it's 3AM the 1st after that I remembered saying that as a preteen Sunday School teacher of 6-9 year olds because there wasn't enough adult to teach them. Thanks for bringing it to my remembrance.
Thank you so much, and love your paintings! God Bless!
Excellent presentation.
Thank you for the education. God bless you and your family Mr. Pearl
Awesome analogy 😊... Happy New Year y'all!
Thank you so much for the explanation. I have purchased both books and really appreciate them available from you. Haven’t got to read them yet but I will. You always make it so simple and that is a blessing to me. I pray for you and your family. God bless 🌺
Thank You Micheal…
Very good explanation. Thank you so much for doing this.
Oh my, thank you for this information!
Thx Michael, great content....
Thank you sir for the video !
Awesome! Thank you!
Happy new years Mike!!! I love u man. Ur the best bible teacher ever
Thanks brother. This matter is of utmost importance. God willing, I'm going to battle for God's Word as handed down through the Church. The argument here is generally the same argument I use, but I'm not yet as well informed on the details, so I have some studying to do. You're not alone out there, and there is another generation ready to carry on into the future; we're here. Shalom.
Luv it. Always good stuff
Thank you for blessing us with this word and knowledge in the new year. Surprise surprise just today I watched another video that you had addressed the same topic (Why King James Bible Only? Bible Questions with Michael Pearl - Episode 027 - No Greater Joy Ministries). I thank God for bringing me to your Channel because I have learnt so much in about 2 years, even exceeding all that I have known about the Word of God ever since I was born. Indeed my Spirit agrees with the King James Bible, for when I read it I can feel the power, the move of the Word of God in a very special way. Indeed some versions dilute that and they feel so modern. I am waiting for part 2 and thank you for doing the work of the Lord. Be blessed you and your family.
Thank you so much for your help to understand. Very interesting video.
Thanks a lot Michael.
Excellent video! Best representation of a very complicated issue I've ever seen!
Thank you great teacher. You are a blessing to us
Thank you Brother Pearl. I learn from your Bible teachings. I am going to share this lesson you explain the Bible's history in a way I can't.
Your information is always challenging and a welcomed video on my YT!
Thank you
Awesome, God Bless You!
This was great. Thank you Michael. Keep up the good (God's) work.
Thank you so much!
Thank you I really enjoy for videos🙌🕊✝️♥️
Thank you so very much brother 🙏🏼
Bang on! Praise God!
Thank you for your INCREDIBLE CONTENT on the Bible, I have been watching your vids for a long time and really appreciate what you have to say and thank you for taking the time.
My daughter and I read In Awe Of Thy Word. It took a whole year taking time to digest and look up when we needed more information on something. It was fascinating and gave us both much understanding. I have read Flyod Nolen Jones book more than once and it too is great insight. What you have shared here Mike has made very clear what I could explain to doubters unlike I was able to know from the 2 above mentioned books. Thank you for clarifying so simply.
Thank you for this understanding.
God bless you man of truth, in the name of our blessed King. Maranatha.
And happy new year!
Fascinating, very educational.
Thank you brother.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you sir for this good word
Thank you! A simple explanation that anyone can understand.
I enjoyed watching you tell the story and 🎨🖌paint
Another excellent teaching
Praise God! Another sound rebuke of modern “progress”! Being still a babe in Christ, I have wondered how so many believers could be led astray on such a grand scale. I hear the softened and diluted verses of some versions and am only saddened that so many rely on such text because they’ve been deceived into thinking it’s easier to read. Often it upsets me to pick up on the subtle changes and how they effect the clarity and purity of the text.
A day or so after I got saved I was led by the Holy Spirit to the KJV. I had been reading the nkjv beforehand but just knew within that the KJV was different the moment I started reading it. The more the Lord allows me to see through the deception, the more I can help others see the light. You are a beacon to others, I pray you stay encouraged, continue in peace and be blessed in the name of our LORD!
Thank you!
I used to be a scholar in the secular world of science. Now as I see, scriptural scholarship in seminaries only seem to facilitate doubt and puff the scholars up with head knowledge. We can learn from the Lord directly if we are willing to patiently listen from his word. This is why I am currently struggling with moving forward into a ministry. I would like to learn, so as to teach, but I also know the responsibility and judgment is very great and see most of what is being taught as being led by men rather than God. I ask humbly, please pray for me if you’re so led. I want to see souls reached and saved. I want to see tears of relief and peace and joy that comes from the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. I pray for all who watched this video, that they would be drawn closer to the words of our Almighty savior, that they would learn to love to rely on the Lord more fully, and to bless and thank Him for that which He gives and those who He allows us to meet. It is His nature to love and tenderly teach. I hope you’re ready to meet Him like I am!
What if someone doesn't speak or read English? Though it may seem so, but the world doesn't revolve around the English language. Do you know what the best translations would be for each language, or are we only concerned about English?
Amen. Yes the masses are deceived because that's what they're hearing from the pulpit. The person in the Pulpit is learning from Seminary that the "oldest and best" manuscripts, which DON'T EXIST mind you, are the best readings of scripture.
So whatever Bible you have in your hand, that's not truly the word of God.., it has mistakes in it, no matter what version you're reading. Especially if you're reading the King James LOL
I also believe I was led to the KJV and began reading NKJV in order to understand KJV better
@@yknot1685 The big stream he painted is represented many different languages therefore it is not about the english language but a bunch of languages that together verify the validity of the text.
Thanks for this
I can’t wait for part two. Well I can naturally but I know it will be interesting so I will wait for it with anticipation.
Excellent teaching.
Very good Brother Pearl.
‘“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.’
Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
Good teaching brother.
Happy New Year!
Michael - Excellent illustration of the 'geneology' for our King James Bible.
Thanks for all your teaching.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you please keep doing gods work
Very Nice simplified explanation using art ..!! Good work and you are good artist. God bless
Sad but true. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks brother and God bless you!!✌🇺🇸
Nice job on video this 👍
thanks
God bless
I'm a seminary graduate and I'm a William Tyndall man. After all he died for translation. And his work is in the kjv.
Awesome job Mike! You really woke me up to why it’s important to use the KJV in your Romans series! This further explained it and I look forward to part 2!
Absolutely brother.
Great video. Much appreciated. As far as the difficult words in the King James version, there's about two hundred or so. Once you learn them you're done.., the Bible will not change on you.
I even write the definition in my Bible next to the word. Once I've learned that word, I've got it. Nothing is going to change.
This is good stuff here.
Praise God
I'm excited to see part two!
I'm also very thankful that Mike said in another video that many KJV only churches get so bigoted on this issue, that you wouldn't want to attend there.
When I first got born again in 1986 I knew nothing about all this.
I ended up with an NIV bible. And though it came from the polluted manuscripts, God was nevertheless able to use it. Because I read it from cover to cover with a heart to believe it and obey it.
Amen yes brother, this is not a discussion for every believer. If someone is reading a Bible they like then yes keep on reading it. If someone asks me which version I think is the true word of God, I will point at the KJV all day long and twice on Sunday.
But that will only be a discussion with a mature Christian or someone generally inquisitive about Bible versions.
Seriously. When you painted the outhouse I was done.
I am currently reading In Awe of Thy Word. There is an enormous amount to learn and study in there. I’m excited that you are teaching about the subject. The more help the better :-).
By the way, I believe the KJV is the seventh Bible in English. So the Word in English has been “purified seven times”.
Wow...ty
Amen. We believe we still have God's Words today. The other side says we absolutely don't have His words and all we can do is the best we can with what we got.
I love your videos i get so overwhelmed with all the info in our world today. So it's a breath of fresh air coming to your channel. I try not to get persuade but I do and it's so hard to know what's truth or fiction. The internet is a double edge sword ain't it lol
Love this so much…thank you for the history lesson.
Also, your introduction music is super loud compared to the volume of your voice. I always forget and it blows me away lol
Thank God for the Holy Spirit who will guide us in the Truth if we are attentive to His voice. Just as He does for Micheal. In my 60 years as a believer and 50 years as a born-again believer I have only come across a handful of people who are aware of what Micheal is saying. Few people are interested in enriching their lives with the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ ✝️
Thank you "The Door".
✝️
I was talking to my brother yesterday and the subject of the nephlim came up. He said the KJV was incorrect in its translation of what they "really" were.
After some discussion, he said that all the bibles lead to Jesus so it's not a big deal. I was at a heartbroken loss. My brother was flippant about the INERRANT, INFALLIBLE word of God. The word that we grew up with and were saved by!
I left and was lost as what to do, what to believe, questioned if I was actually wrong. Have I been deceived to think the KJV is truly God's word!?!
Then this show popped up on my youtube feed. I had subscribed to The Door channel less than a month ago and now I needed the information Michael Pearl gave me.
I hope I can talk to my brother without conflict. I bought 2 of the books "Which bible is the bible" and will take one to him when they arrive.
God help me be a witness.
Thanks for this video,Watching from Ireland Carrickmacross co.Monaghan
amen
I liked your videos, and would find it helpful to add it to one of my playlists. Please and thank you! Keep the faith! God Bless you.
I was using the NIV when God had mercy on me and saved me by His grace. I had been a hard atheist for many years. I knew of the KJB, but just thought a Bible is a Bible. Then I discovered there being so many different versions during a trip to LifeWay Christian Store (back when they had stores). I bought pretty much every version out there. I just had this feeling something wasn’t right; why all these different versions. I wanted God’s pure word and began fervently praying for God to guide me to the right Bible.
I also began to dig and study. From the time God saved me, it took about two years and then bought a KJB. I’d read it some, and then go back to either a NKJV or NASB (because I’d outgrown the NIV). I kept praying and kept dipping back into the KJB. After a couple of years of toggling back and forth between the NKJV, NASB, and the KJB, I found myself using only the KJB and have been ever since. Mr. Pearl was instrumental in my transition. I’m not saying that people can’t get saved with the other versions, but some of them are way out there. However, I do believe the KJB is God’s pure preserved word in the English language. In Psalm 12:6-7, God promises to preserve His word. I just don’t believe God fumbled and let His word go missing for all those centuries, while a “counterfeit” (the KJB), was The Bible during all that time, and the real manuscripts were in a monastery, and hidden away at the Vatican. Great video! God bless.
Wow !
When I tell Christians this, they either don’t believe me or don’t care! When I became a Christian I used the NIV back in 1981. I was curious as to why there were so many versions of what was called the Word of God knowing that they ALL couldn’t be, as they were all different!! This started my quest! I was on a mission to find Gods word He preserved throughout the ages. God is not a God of confusion!! He doesn’t have many “versions” of His word. I firmly believe with all my heart and mind that the KJV is God’s perfect word He preserved through the Textus Receptus line. Keep up the good work brother! There will be a “setting straight” at both the Judgment seat of Christ and the Great White Throne, for judgment begins with the house of God! Love you brother, MARANATHA
thank you for this information People needs to have confidence in the word of Father i am 62 ( i think) lol i was led by the holy spirit around the age of 9 or 10 to start reading the bible and as a 10 year old found the bible fasinating i had read the whole bible and some parts several times and had a lot of first john memerized by 8 the grade I can tell you that as i read the bible God brought it to life You can relie on God's super natural Spirit to guide you into all truth Relie on God first and everything else will follow Much blessings to you and yours in Jesus name all must have faith Faith is key
I love that painting, I’m just saying.
Wearing his snake shooter, I love it.
Great video! Thank you! This fits right in to my recent personal studies.
Are you aware that Nestle revisions (28 to date) always have a Jesuit influence? The Jesuit beginning was a dictate from a Pope around the reformation that stated in a nutshell to get rid of the Protestant teachings and bring people back to the Catholic Church. The have been working on this since then to educate people in their many many schools around the world. Carlo Maria Martini was the last Jesuit to be involved in the latest “revisions”. Their goal is to make the entire world Catholic again. In 2013 the Pope met with many different denominations to unite them. And a couple years ago we saw it in the Muslim world. They’ve been at it for literally hundreds of years and will not rest until they reach their goal.

Love your Art work, I am a still life Artist using coloured pencil.
Amen!
I find it very interesting that there are no comments yet about this. I've heard Chuck Missler talk about the westcott and hort text and how dishonest and corrupted not only the text but the interpreters as well. Good job and may you continue to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.
Imagine reading a translation by a liberal person who is possibly agnostic and you will have an idea about the persons of Wescott and Hort!
