Reclaiming the Majority Text - The King James Version - Luther's Bible

 

The people have decided - the most popular Bible is the King James Version. No modern version comes close.

If we put together all the modern versions, which are so anxiously pressed upon congregations, college and seminary students, we would find that not one version agrees with the others. In fact, the New NIV does not agree with the old NIV. The publisher will not allow the old NIV to be used anymore.

Why is one verse added back in and others removed, multiplied many times over in these new paraphrases? None of your business! Can you read Greek-Latin-Syriac-Arabic-German-Coptic? No? Then how dare you question these great scholars. 

The Holy Spirit inspired writings of the Apostles were treasured by the early Church. It is true that heretics provided their own versions, and we have samples of them, from the first two centuries. Egypt was a hotbed of more heresies than anyone can remember. So we have samples that never found more than a local audience.

The faithful preserved the Majority 
Text. Erasmus edited the Greek New Testament that provided the text for the Reformation. The Hebrew Old Testament was translated too. Luther worked with a team of genius theologians to word the German Bible as precisely as possible. Tyndale, who associated with these scholars and died for translating it into English, was safer in Germany than England.

 Aleph is the symbol for Sinaiticus, the Bible found in Egypt, so precious that no one copied and passed it around! Tischendorf fed it to the modernists hungry for a bad version, and the Lutheran synods use it in their NIV-ESV-RSV-TEV paraphrases.

The Newest Publication Lutheran Christina Is Being Sent Now

 

I received the first 10 copies of Lutheran Christina yesterday and began filling out the print orders. Christian News is getting multiple copies - again - but is unlikely to acknowledge this one too. We were sitting in New Haven, Missouri when the editor was still on his trike.

No one would publish Bruce Metzger's first book, so he self-published it. Eventually it sold 200,000 copies.

Books last much longer than magazines, and magazines last longer than newsprint. When I reprinted a couple of my books, I had to buy them from Alibris and have them retyped. 

Christina was the reason so many books were written. She was 100% behind them, all the time, and always anxious to know what the next one would be. 

Many people dream of having great riches, finishing the race with the most money. I am happy to say that I can stay in the black and freely distribute the treasures of the Means of Grace. 

KJV Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
