You have opened my eyes to this! And I'm thankful God lead me through a friend, to your channel!

Amen brother Bryan, we are very blessed to have Gods preserved word with us today. The "crowd" who attack the KJV Bible simply dont believe the scriptures that God has promised to preserve His word(Psa 12:6-7, Matt 24:35).  Once you get a person to cast doubt on the word of God then they're open to all sorts of heresies, apostasy and in some cases destruction. It is not a small issue of doctrine. 
God Bless

GREAT VIDEO. Thank you for Stating the truth.

I read the KJV on a software called theWord and listen to it in the Scourby mp3s. But I live in Brazil so my main bible  (the physical book) is the portuguese translation called João Ferreira de Almeida, which is very close to the kjv (I compare them all the time).

FWIW - Charles Stanley(a popular SBC pastor) is one big example of someone who switched versions from the KJB to these other perversions, and subsequently fell into the broad path of destruction.

Once upon a time ago - he had a fruitful ministry using the KJB. But once he switched versions...he incorporated, started yoking with Catholics and Charismatics, his church grew into a megachurch, and now his son Andy is one of the leaders of the Emergent Church movement(IOW, his children turned into hell).

He's a saved man(and will see him at the rapture) - but nonetheless while living on this earth, he riped the rotten fruit he sowed to his flesh.

We must remember that the main objective of Loyola and his Jesuit order is the destruction of the protestant reformation, unless that happens, the "New world order" can't be set up....this has to be kept firmly in mind...as it will help us to not be deceived...This has taken them around 500 years to pull off, but it has finally happened.You and I are living in those days.Their New world order, when completely implemented, will take us in fact back to the dark ages, except it will be far worse because of modern technology.They long for the glory days they had under "Hildebrand" Gregory V11, the amazingly powerful pope.
We are divisive and rightly so because the King James is a Protestant reformation bible, therefore it had to die..the Geneva bible died first, at the hands of the wicked  Jesuit pawns Charles 1 and Archbishop Laud, who banned it from being printed...both these men ended up being executed.
The King James was the bible of the great Puritan theologians, the Wesley brothers, Jonathan Edwards and Whitefield, and Americas  2 "great awakenings"... as well as all the great revivals under Finney, Spurgeon, amd D.L. Moody.
But apostasy began to creep into the church in the early to mid 1800s, and by 1900 the church was practically completely fallen away from Christ.The time was ripe for the King james to die, since the church began to fall in love with the world, and this is exactly what happened.
There have been no revivals in the US since the American standard version landed on these shores, there are a few "King james onlyists', but we are branded as a cult.

1 Corinthians 1:10-13 KJV

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

How can we speak the same thing in a church that uses different Bible's? How can we have the same mind and the same judgment if these Bibles DO NOT teach the same thing?

How can Christ who is the Word of God be divided into different Bible's? It is not possible. God does not have double speech. For example;

Truth
Hosea 11:12 KJV

Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

A lie
Hosea 11:12 NIV

Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, Israel with deceit. And Judah is unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One.

See they are not speaking the same thing.

Lawlessness or iniquity?
Matthew 7:23 KJV

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:23 NKJV

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

2 Thessalonians 2:3 NIV

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

2 Thessalonians 2:3, 7 KJV

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Somebody wants people to be put back under the law...iniquity is deception it has nothing to do with the law.

Matthew 23:28 KJV

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Hypocrisy and deception go together.

What does the law do?

1 Corinthians 15:56 KJV

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Romans 7:9 KJV

For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

That is where the beast the man of sin, the son of perdition is going to get his power from. That is exactly what Satan tempted Jesus to do was to turn the stones into bread. The law was written in stone. Matthew 4:3-4.

Look at what the Pharisee 'believers' did who went out from us.

Acts 15:1, 5, 24 KJV

1 And CERTAIN MEN which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be CIRCUMCISED after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees WHICH BELIEVED, saying, That it was needful to CIRCUMCISE them, and to COMMAND them to keep the LAW of Moses. 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which WENT OUT FROM US have troubled you with words, SUBVERTING your souls, saying, Ye must be CIRCUMCISED, and KEEP the LAW: to whom we gave NO SUCH COMMANDMENT:

Who went out from us?
1 John 2:18-19 KJV

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They WENT OUT FROM US, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

One or someone?

1 John 5:7 KJV

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

Revelation 4:2 KJV

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Revelation 4:2 NIV

At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with SOMEONE sitting on it.

Who was standing on the sand of the sea?

Revelation 13:1 KJV

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Who would like to?

Revelation 13:1 NIV

The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

Who was the fourth?

Daniel 3:25 KJV

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Daniel 3:25 NIV

He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

Are we saved now or 'being' saved for the future?

1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

I Corinthians 1:18 NKJV

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

If it's new, it ain't true! The New King James is the most subtle of all.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 KJV

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

These Bibles are not speaking the same thing. They all have different doctrine other than the King James Bible which is the true vine.

Matthew 24:4, 5, 10-12 show how iniquity abounds. And there are many more scriptures that show what perdition is. It's turning away from the holy commandment and going back to the law to establish their own self righteousness which can never be, seeing that none can keep the law and that no flesh will be justified by works of the law.

Galatians 2:16 KJV

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

2 Peter 2:20-22 KJV

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Philippians 3:2 KJV

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Jesus is the only way. He is the straight and narrow gate. He is the door.

John 14:6 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The only way to have the same mind, the same judgment and to speak the same thing is through the true vine the King James Bible, the word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. All one, as spoken of in 1 John 5:7 they cannot be divided.

[BlacklistedBible]

Hebrew and Greek can be used for reference.

[maxbird]

What about the Geneva Bible according to Dr. James White  everyone looses a debate that he talks to, he thinks we cant witness like he can because he thinks we don't have the Wright Bible he thinks we are all wrong, pleas look him up see what you think.

[manofsinistrump]

I have a new living translation that has many verses taken out. The king James is the word of God

[TheSwatmachine]

Of course it's divisive. That is not the question - all biblical doctrines are divisive. Consider Creationism, Calvinism, Baptism, Eternal Security, or 50 others. To even say 'you believe the Bible' is itself divisive. Rather, the question is, is it a BIBLICAL teaching? And the answer is...ABSOLUTELY NOT! The very Bible you claim to believe refutes the possibility of it's truthfulness as biblical doctrine. No doubt, God has used the KJV in history as a marvelous component in His work of preserving His word. BUT, God's word is not now, nor ever has been, nor never will be, CONFINED solely to the King James Authorized Version. And I sincerely believe that you are well meaning in your ideas and you are trying to glorify God through them. But the truth is, KJV ONLY-ism simply is NOT BIBLICAL. Blessings to you.
