His
UNSCRIPTURAL VIEW OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE
His Unscriptural
view of the King James Bible.
I will
now explain my view of Scripture, Inspiration, and the King
James Bible.
1. I
Believe the King James Bible is the Word of God for the English
Speaking People.
2. I
Believe the King James Bible is Perfect and without Error.
3.I do
Believe the Words in the King James Bible are Inspired.
4. I do
Believe the King James Bible is the Final Authority in all
matters.
5. I
do Believe the 'New' Bibles do contain some of the Words of
God, but that they are not accurate enough to be called the
Word of God.
6. I do
Believe that an accurate Translation of the Bible can be made
into any Language, and that it is not necessary to learn English
first.
7. I
do Believe the Bible was Finished and Complete in 96 AD.
8. I do
not Believe the King James Bible is Inspired.
9. I do
not Believe the King James Bible is 'Advanced Revelation'.
10. I
do not Believe the King James Bible corrects the Hebrew or
the Greek.
On my
WebPage is a Page from a King James Bible printed between
1615 and 1649. Look closely at it. This page is no more than
38 years away from the Original King James Bible of 1611.
Now open your Bible and tell me the Difference. Romans on
my page reads:
Romans
3:21 But now the righteoufneffs of God without the Law is
manifefted, being wittneffed by the Law and the Prophets
Romans
3:22 Euen the righteoufneffe of God, which is by faith of
Iefus Chrift unto all, and upon all them that beleeue: for
there is no difference:
Romans
3:23 For all haue finned, and come fhort of the glory of God,
Now do
you see any difference! Here by Dr. Ruckman's own admission
is the INSPIRED Word of God.
"The
King James test is the last and final statement that God has
given to the world, and He has given it in the universal language
of the 20th century ... The truth is that God slammed the
door of revelation shut in 389 BC and slammed it shut again
in 1611" (Peter Ruckman, The Monarch of Books, Pensacola,
1973, p. 9).
You don't
have it, I have only page of it. If the King James is Inspired
then why does Dr. Ruckman and his followers reject the Preface,
the Footnotes, and the Apocrypha, not found in King James
Bible of today?
They
were in the "Original" AV1611, look in yours. What
you have is a 1769 Edition of the 1611 KJB. Yet Ruckmanites
claim to have the PURE WORD OF GOD! Did God have to 'REINSPIRE'
the King James Bible in 1769 to include these changes? What
about the changes made in 1629, 1638, 1762 and again in 1769?
There are even 2 different texts used today. Which one is
Inspired?
The 'Original'
King James Bible of 1611 was printed in Gothic Type. For instance,
the Gothic "s" looks like the Roman "s"
when used as a capital letter or at the end of a word. But
when it is used as a lower case "s" at the beginning
or in the middle of a word, the letter looks like our "f."
Therefore, also becomes alfo and set becomes fet. Another
variation is found in the German "v" and "u."
The Gothic "v" looks like a Roman "u"
while the Gothic "u" looks like a Roman "v."
This explains
why our "w" is called a double-u and not a double-v.
Sound confusing? It is until you get used to it. In the 1611
edition, love is loue, us is vs, and ever is euer. But remember,
these are not even spelling changes. They are simply type
style changes.
In another
instance, the Gothic "j" looks like our "i."
So Jesus becomes Iefus (notice the middle "s" changed
to "f") and joy becomes ioy. Even the Gothic "d"
had the stem leaning back over the circle in a shape resembling
that of the Greek Delta. Is this Gothic Type inspired? Or
is the Roman Type inspired?
1. Which
text is Inspired?
1. Cambridge
2. Oxford
2. What parts are inspired?
1. Text only?
2. Preface?
3. Footnotes?
4. Apocrypha?
5. Woodcut Drawing?
All of
these were in the 'Original" King James Bible of 1611.
To see an Original 1st Printing King James Bible go to Greatsite.com
3. Which Edition is Inspired?
1. 1611?
2. 1629?
3. 1638?
4. 1762?
5. 1769?
First
the 'Original'
Romans
3:21 But now the righteoufneffs of God without the Law is
manifefted, being wittneffed by the Law and the Prophets
Romans
3:22 Euen the righteoufneffe of God, which is by faith of
Iefus Chrift unto all, and upon all them that beleeue: for
there is no difference:
Romans
3:23 For all haue finned, and come fhort of the glory of God,
Now compare
these 3 verses with a Modern King James Bible:
Rom
3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Rom
3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of
Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for
there is no difference:
Rom
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Did you
see it, what has been changed? The Gothic type is GONE, the
Spelling is DIFFERENT, and even the Punctuation is different.
The only thing that ISN'T different are the WORDS.
Psa
12:6 The WORDS (not the Bible, not the King James, not a
Translation, the WORDS) of the LORD are pure words: as silver
tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Mat
24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words (not
the Bible, not the King James, not a Translation, the WORDS)
shall not pass away.
Mark
13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words (not
the Bible, not the King James, not a Translation, the WORDS)
shall not pass away.
Luke
21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words (not
the Bible, not the King James, not a Translation, the WORDS)
shall not pass away.
2 Tim
3:15-16 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
ALL Scripture
means that when it is given in another Language it is STILL
Scripture. Did Timothy have Scripture? Yes. The Scripture
Timothy had was Old Testament Scripture, given in Hebrew.
Do I have Scripture? Yes I have it in English.
How is
Scripture given:
2
Pet 1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not
in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Holy
Spirit gives Scripture. The King James Committee was not giving
Scripture they were translating Scripture. We have many English
Bibles that came before the King James, they ALL contain Scripture,
but Dr. Ruckman refuses to call them 'Inspired'.
"The
King James test is the last and final statement that God has
given to the world, and He has given it in the universal language
of the 20th century ... The truth is that God slammed the
door of revelation shut in 389 BC and slammed it shut again
in 1611" (Peter Ruckman, The Monarch of Books, Pensacola,
1973, p. 9).
By Dr.
Ruckman's own admission if ONE thing is changed then it's
not the "PURE WORD OF GOD". Taking the position
he has taken is a VERY dangerous position to take. By claiming
that 'God slammed the door of revelation shut in 389 BC and
slammed it shut again in 1611' he has risked bring the curse
of God upon him.
Deu
4:2 Ye 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.
Prov
30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee,
and thou be found a liar.
Rev
22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words
of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book: And 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.
Psa
12:6 The WORDS (not the Bible, not the King James, not a
Translation, the WORDS) of the LORD are pure words: as silver
tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Now I
will look at those WORDS.
Gen
15:1-6 After these things the word of the LORD came unto
Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield,
and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD,
what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward
of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said,
Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born
in my house is mine heir.
And,
behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This
shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out
of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought
him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and
tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said
unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD;
and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Psa
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all
the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Psa
119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not
sin against thee.
Psa
119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psa
138:2 I 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.
Isa
9:8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted
upon Israel.
Isa
38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Isa
40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word
of our God shall stand for ever.
Jer
1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jer
20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak
any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as
a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with
forbearing, and I could not stay.
Mat
4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God.
Mat
8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word
only, and my servant shall be healed.
This Centurion
knew the very power of the WORDS of Jesus would heal his servant.
Mat
8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that
were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with
his word, and healed all that were sick:
John
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
John
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John
5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time,
nor seen his shape.
John
5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he
hath sent, him ye believe not.
Acts
10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell
on all them which heard the word.
1 Cor
12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
Eph
6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God
Col
3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
the Lord.
2
Th 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions
which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Paul
is telling us to stand fast and the hold the traditions which
we have been taught, wether by SPOKEN WORD or WRITTEN WORD.
Heb
11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed
by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.
1 Pet
1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. Andthis
is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1
John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we makehim a
liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John
5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
Rev
19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and
his name is called The Word of God.
The word
is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that is what God said he would
preserve not the King James Bible, not some translation, but
the VERY WORDS OF GOD.
Gen
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen
1:2-6 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that
it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
It was
the very WORD of God that spoke the World into existence.
John
11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.
It was
by the very WORDS of Jesus that Lazarus came forth from the
grave.
Psa
119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not
sin against thee.
You may
take my King James Bible from me, if I have the very WORD
of God hid in my heart you can never ever take that from me.
As you
can see Dr. Ruckman's view of the King James Bible is UNSCRIPTURAL.
