Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 23:30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. KJV, Dropping The Hammer On The False Versions Here are some words "stolen" in a effort to help you understand the Bible better. (Or so they say.) joint -stolen in Eph. 4:16 replaced with supporting ligament (niv) told-stolen in 2Chron. 2:2 replaced with conscripted (niv) image -stolen in Heb. 1:3 replaced with representation (niv) called-stolen in Heb. 5:10 replaced with designated (niv) old -stolen in Heb. 8:13 replaced with obselete (niv) house -stolen in 2 Cor. 5:2 replaced with habitation (nkjv) give -stolen in Eccl. 2:3 replaced with gratify (nkjv) smell -stolen in Amos 5:21 relpaced with savor (nkjv) little rivers -stolen in Ezek. 31:4 replaced with rivulets (nkjv) narrow is the way- (refering to Salvation) stolen in Matt 7:14 replaced with difficult (nkjv) the word blood -stolen up to 15 times depending on what (per) version you choose Do You Really Have Trouble Understanding What These Stolen Words Mean? Do The Words They Where Replaced With, Really Help You To Understand? Here is one last thing to help you understand ..... 1John 2:22, 23 "He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father." KJV The KJV Verses in Acts 3:13, 26 that say Jesus Christ is the "Son" of God is changed in the nkjv to say He is a mere "servant". Also in Acts 4:27, 30 The KJV says that Jesus Christ was God's "Child", but the nkjv changes Him to a "servant". Now I don't know about you, but I have never had trouble understanding the words Son, or Child! So my conclusion is that these so called, new, easier to understand versions, really help me to understand all right. I understand they are non inspired works of man, and if I had one I would throw it in the trash and get me a KJV!!!
