Lordship Salvation

Rom 10:9 (KJB) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

There can be some legitimate dispute on whether "confess with thy mouth" is literal or figurative, whether it applies to salvation or after salvation - but it's indisputable that the passage is saying Jesus is already Lord, we do not confess that He is Lord to be saved. We confess the Lord Jesus Christ. The specific words we say or pray are not as vital as what we BELIEVE.

Rom 10:9 (CSB) If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (NLT) If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (NET) because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (RSV) because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (ASV) because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

Rom 10:9 (DBY) that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 10:9 (BBE) Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

Rom 10:9 (NIV) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:9 (NASB20) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

Rom 10:9 (NASB95) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ALL these modern versions teach that you must confess "Jesus is Lord" to be saved. That's NOT the same thing. It's only about salvation. We know the modern versions don't affect any important doctrines, right? Therefore, salvation must not be an important doctrine.

BIBLE on the MOON (and Antarctica!)

10:15 mark in the video. 

One certain Bible version has been to all seven continents (including Antarctica) and the moon! Guess which one? 

https://tij.tv/shows/the-book-that-went-to-the-moon-2/

If there's a God and if God is God - do you really think that's just an accident? 

Our church's Bearing Precious Seed Ministry has distributed King James Bibles on ALL seven continents - including Antarctic, where the late Fred Swanson brought some. I don't know of any other Bibles on Antarctica. 

The King James Bible has been quoted in space, quoted on the moon, and taken to the moon. I know of no other version that has.

Out of the ashes of a tragedy came the Apollo Prayer League with a mission to land a Bible on the moon in Ed White's name. - The First Lunar Bible

Rev. John Stout's and the Apollo Prayer League completed the quest to land the Bible on the Moon. - Reverend John Stout, Director, the Apollo Prayer League

Creator God or Drunken Robin Hood?

Prov 26:10 (KJB) The great God that FORMED ALL THINGS both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

(NIV) Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by.

(NASB) Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.

(AMP) [But] like an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or chance passers-by.

(NLT) An employer who hires a fool or a bystander is like an archer who shoots recklessly. 

(ASV) As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.

(ESV) Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.

(CEV) It's no smarter to shoot arrows at every passerby than it is to hire a bunch of worthless nobodies.

The Creator God is replaced with some kind of drunken Robin Hood. In Rev 6, and in OT descriptions, the Antichrist is the archer! This is much like the modern versions who call Lucifer the "morning star" in Isa 14:12, which is a title for Jesus Christ in Rev 22:16.

Do you want a Bible that confuses the Lord with the devil, twice?

Created BY Christ, From the Beginning

Eph 3:9 (KJB) And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the BEGINNING of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things BY JESUS  CHRIST:

(NIV) ... which for AGES PAST was kept hidden in God, who  created all things [by NOBODY].

(NASB)  ... which for AGES has been hidden in God who  created all things [by NOBODY];

(ASV) ... which for AGES hath been hid in God who created all things  [by NOBODY];

(RSV) ...  hidden for AGES in God who created all things [by NOBODY];

(ESV) ... hidden for AGES in God who created all things, [by NOBODY]

(CEV) God, who created everything [by NOBODY],

Ages past? What does that tell you? Not much. Not as much as “from the beginning” - that is specific, settled. And Somebody is missing from the verse. Who might that be? Only Jesus Christ - apparently nobody important if you want to have a Bible version with the “same message”.

(NLT) ... God, the Creator of all things [by NOBODY];

Hey! A version that got it half right! Except the Living Bible left out Jesus too. What good are all these versions that leave out Jesus? BTW, Jesus Christ is in the Greek Textus Receptus here. My Nestles Alexandrian Greek text omits Jesus Christ, but has a footnote, and the critical apparatus lists several Alexandrian texts that contain  Jesus Christ. Why would a modern version want to take Jesus Christ out of the Bible? Who would be the inspiration for that?

Maybe the New KJV get is right. That’s translated from the same manuscripts, they say:

  

(NKJV) ... the beginning of the AGES … THROUGH Jesus Christ;

Closer, but still not there. “Beginning of the ages” sounds like a compromise of a politically correct liberal politician. Even the Nkjv doesn't have Jesus Christ actually doing the creating. The Real King James has the creation done BY Him, but the New King James has the creation done "through" Him, which can mean almost anything. If a president sends  message through his secretary - who really wrote the message? That sounds like a politically correct Catholic liberal politician.

Is removing Jesus Christ only a "minor" change that "doesn't affect any doctrine" and has the "same message", like the modern version advocates claim?

Which versions would an evolutionist prefer?

Begotten god?

Only Begotten What?

John 1:18 (KJB) No man hath seen God at any time; the only  BEGOTTEN SON, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

(NIV) No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

(ESV) No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

These two make the one at the father's side the ONLY God - which logically means the Father is not God!

(RSV) No one has ever seen God; the ONLY SON, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

(NLT) No one has ever seen God. But his ONLY SON, who is himself God, is near to the Father's heart; he has told us about him.

(CEV) No one has ever seen God. The ONLY SON, who is truly God and is closest to the Father, has shown us what God is like. 

These make Jesus the ONLY Son. Dinosaur feathers! I'M a son of God, as is every saved individual. But I'm not the ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God. That's Jesus!

(NASB) No one has seen God at any time; the only BEGOTTEN GOD who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

(AMP) No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only BEGOTTEN GOD, …

These make the worst blaspheme of all, calling Jesus a BEGOTTEN God, meaning He is not the ETERNAL Creator.

Again, which versions would an atheist, evolutionist, or Christ denier prefer?

Creator God or Created Being?

ANCIENT ORIGINS

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose GOINGS FORTH have been from of old, from EVERLASTING..

This is a clear prophecy of Jesus Christ. Prophecy is one of the key proofs that the Bible is the Supernatural word of God. And this is one of the most stunning prophecies of Jesus Christ - it gives the very town He will be born in, what family He’ll belong to, and some specific things about His life - all in one little verse written 700 years before Jesus was born. Let’s see the daily horoscope try that! It presents Jesus Christ as "everlasting". That fits with Him being the Creator God in John 1:1-3 & 14. Surely no Bible version would mess up at such an important place.

(NIV) ... whose ORIGINS ... from ANCIENT TIMES.

(RSV) ... whose ORIGIN ... from ANCIENT DAYS.

(NLT) ... one whose ORIGINS are  from the DISTANT PAST.

(CEV) ... someone whose FAMILY goes  back to ANCIENT TIMES.
(ESV) ... whose ORIGIN is from of old,  from ANCIENT DAYS.

(HCS) … his ORIGIN is from ANTIQUITY

These versions strip Jesus Christ of His deity and makes Him a created false god. He is not the everlasting Word/Son of God. 

How can a Christian convince an evolutionist from such versions? We’re supposed to be apt to teach and able to convince the gainsayers of God’s truth. How can we do that with a Bible version that says what they believe? And that’s what they do say! That’s why we call them per-versions. How can a Christian witness to a lost person and tell Him about Jesus when the lost evolutionist can grab almost any modern version and show that Jesus wasn’t God, He had an origin, and He wasn’t the Creator! The multi-version creationists have a different Creator than the King James Bible!

Those two verses should be enough to make any Christian with the discernment of a pet rock chuck his fake Bible and get the real one. 

Bottom line, which versions would an evolutionist or atheist prefer?
