2nd Corinthians 2:17, “For we
are not as many, which corrupt the word of God:
but as of sincerity,
but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
Unless you believe that there are TWO different plans of salvation, you can
only conclude that those foolish pastors and religious teachers are unsaved
who require forsaking BAD WORKS to be saved. Whether requiring a person to do
GOOD WORKS (like Roman Catholics do), or requiring a person to stop doing BAD
WORKS (like John MacArthur, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort and Billy Graham do), to
be saved, BOTH require DEAD WORKS.
The Holy Bible has
a built-in dictionary, which if you use will keep you from going astray. I
speak concerning the trustworthy “Textus Receptus” Greek and the “King James
Bible” which is translated from it. In sharp contrast, ALL modern Bible
versions (which are translated from the Alexandrian manuscripts - an entirely
different Greek text) are corrupt and THE BUILT-IN DICTIONARY IS GONE!!!
I will prove it to you right now.
I plead with you
to hear me out, please! I wish I could grab every pastor and shake some sense
into him, because Satan is destroying the churches by changing the Holy Bible.
A big building and a large congregation mean absolutely nothing if the Word of
God has been corrupted!!! If I had my way, I'd fire every pastor and assistant
pastor who are so woefully ignorant, indifferent and/or cowardly that they
support the modern corrupt versions. THERE ARE NO GOOD MODERN BIBLE VERSIONS
that come from the Alexandrian manuscripts prepared by
Brooke Westcott and Fenton
Hort in 1881!
Let's consider the
following Scripture, which is one of the most debated Scripture passages in
the Word of God. Acts 20:21, “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the
Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord
Jesus Christ.” God only knows how many sincere Bible students
have misinterpreted this Scripture to mean “turning from sinful living” to be
saved. However, if we cross-reference the King James Bible and look at Hebrews
6:1, we find the correct interpretation of Acts 20:21...
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again
the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.”
[emphasis added]
Repentance is from
DEAD WORKS, that is, trying to keep the law to earn Heaven. If you look at the
Textus Receptus Greek for the phrase “DEAD WORKS,” you will discover
that “dead” is the Greek word nekros, which means exactly what it says,
“dead.” The word “works” here in Hebrews 6:1 is the Greek word ergon,
which means “to work, toil.” Clearly, there is no mention of forsaking a
sinful lifestyle to be saved, which would constitute human effort necessary
for salvation. This is not to say that we have God's permission to sin as
Christians, God forbid (Romans 3:31; Hebrews 12:6-8; 2nd Corinthians 5:9-11).
Thus, Hebrews 6:1
in the King James Bible defines “repentance” for salvation as changing our mind from trying to do
dead works to get to Heaven, to trusting upon Christ's sacrifice
upon the
cross for our sins and His resurrection three days later. Literally, the Bible
is teaching us to change our mind from trusting in our own human effort,
to
trusting in God's righteousness through faith in Christ.
Ungodly ERV
Changes Plan of Salvation By Corrupting Hebrews 6:1
Now my friend, you
are about to read the ungodly, wicked, blasphemous, PERversion, rendered in
the “Easy-To-Read Version” (ERV) of the Bible . . .
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — “So we should be
finished with the beginning lessons about Christ. We should not have to keep
going back to where we started.
We began our new life by turning away
from the evil we did in the past and by believing in God.”
[emphasis added]
Here again is
Hebrews 6:1 in the beloved, correct, King James Bible . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again
the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.”
[emphasis added]
Do you see how the
new corrupt Bible versions are horribly changing theology in the churches? The
King James Bible teaches that we must repent from our DEAD WORKS to be saved;
but the ERV teaches that we must stop living a life of deliberate sin (evil)
to be saved. The Alexandrian Greek is of the Devil, teaching a works-based
plan of salvation. Salvation is NOT by works (Romans 3:20; Ephesians 2:8-9;
Titus 3:5; Romans 4:5-6). The doctrine of the
imputed
righteousness of God silences all the critics.
A baby believer
won't see the major theological differences between the ERV verses the KJB,
but I tell you that there are THOUSANDS!!! They've butchered the Words of
God!!! Hebrews 6:1 in the ERV sinfully changes the entire plan of salvation,
which now requires partial faith in Christ + human effort! No wonder our
churches are so messed-up nowadays.
The really tragic
thing is that many churches use the ERV piece of crap, using the lame excuse
that BI-LINGUAL church members need an easier-to-read Bible. In reality, all
the church has done is hand some easy-to-read satanic heresy to the victim.
The doctrinal soundness of the Holy Scriptures is GONE, GONE, GONE in the ERV!
The built-in dictionary is gone! God's Word is special, it is unique, it
cannot be watered-down and simplified without ruining its power. I'm telling
the truth, the Luciferian-worshipping occult want to
bring spirituality into the
churches and eliminate theology. It should be obvious to you that this is
exactly what the modern corrupted Bible versions are doing.
The reason why
they need to do this is to infiltrate, corrupt and take control over the
churches, so that they'll all receive the Antichrist when he comes. If you
think that could never happen, you are deceived already. The mystery religion
which began in ancient Egypt (which is at the core of New Age) teaches to love
God and your fellow mankind, which means rejecting Christianity and the King James
Bible, because they are [they say] bigoted, hateful and prejudiced. Of course,
Luciferians promote a phony type of ecumenical love, which sinfully embraces
unrepentant homosexuals, unbelievers and all apostate religious faiths.
I believe that
when the Lord appears at the Rapture to catch away the saints, 97% of the
churches will be unaffected (because they are not saved). Lordship Salvation
is a false plan of salvation, just as Seventh-Day Adventists, Greek Orthodox,
Episcopalians, Church of Christ and Lutherans teach a false plan of salvation.
Whether you add water baptism or forsaking sinful living to be saved, it is a
false plan of works salvation. Biblical salvation is based solely upon what
Christ did for us, and not what we can do for Him. Salvation is not doing your
best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by
faith. God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save
those who are trusting to be saved.
What About
Ephesians 2:1?
We read in Ephesians 2:1, “And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in
trespasses and sins.” Doesn't this mean that we have to forsake
sinful living to be saved? That's not what the Holy Bible means. Remember,
repentance in the original Greek is defined as a change of mind, not a change of lifestyle. Whereas John 3:20 teaches that unrepentant sinners
refuse to come to Christ to be saved, “lest their deeds should be refuted”;
Romans 3:19 says that God's law was given so that, “all the world may
become guilty before God.” Hence, when you change your mind about
sin and unbelief, acknowledging that you are an unsaved guilty sinner in the
eyes of a holy God, and believe the Gospel, you are saved. Faith and
repentance happen together, at the same time (simultaneously). It is false
doctrine to say that a person must repent first and then believe. Being
born-again is not a manmade process, it is a miraculous new birth from God
above.
Please understand
that repentance is more than merely admitting one's guilt of sin, it is seeing
yourself as a guilty sinner for breaking a holy God's commandments. Pastor Hyles
eloquently states...
“Repentance
is not some little silly, 'I'm sorry.' Repentance is not simply a fear of God.
Repentance is not a monk fasting and afflicting his body in a monastery.
Repentance is not remorse because of sin's consequences. Repentance is not
penance performed before the pope as you kiss his toe... Repentance is not being
sorry for what I've done wrong. It is not confessing one's sins to a priest. It
is not just conviction of sin. It is not the signing of a pledge of abstinence.
Repentance is that thing when you come before God and see yourself as you are,
and see Him as he is, and say with Isaiah 'Woe is me, for I am unclean!'”
—Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001),
a quote from the timeless MP3 sermon,
THE GOODNESS OF GOD LEADETH TO REPENTANCE!
That is a tremendous quote! Amen! So when we
read about repenting from “DEAD WORKS” in Hebrews 6:1, it absolutely does
NOT mean that ceasing from sinful bad habits is required for salvation
(because that would be self-righteous works); but rather, it means we have
changed our mind concerning DEAD WORKS (GOOD and BAD works alike) that
were hindering us from coming to Christ to be saved. We don't get saved by
changing our life, which is what the new corrupt Bible versions require.
This is discipleship, not salvation. We get saved by BELIEVING the Gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ, receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as
full-payment for our sins and believing that He arose from the dead the
third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). The only role that dealing with sin
has in salvation is to renounce it, so that it is no longer a hindrance to
keep you from coming to Christ to be saved (John 3:20).
ERV Changes Plan
of Salvation By Corrupting Mark 1:15
The Greek word for
“repent” in Mark 1:15 in the King James Bible is metanoeo, which means,
“to think differently.” It is a change of mind. It DOESN'T mean to
“change your hearts and lives,” which is what the corrupt ERV says!!! . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
[emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV)
— Mark 1:15, “He said, “The right time is now here. God’s kingdom is very
near. Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News!”
[emphasis added]
That is wrong,
wrong, wrong! You don't have to change your own life as a requirement to be
saved. Rather, it is the indwelling Holy Spirit that comes into a person at
the time of salvation that changes one's heart and life, over time as they
grow in grace by nurturing on the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2). Initially,
getting saved does not change a person one bit, except that now you have the
Spirit of Christ living inside your body (Romans 8:9; 1st Corinthians 3:16-17;
1st John 4:4). It is the Lord's Holy Spirit working in us that changes our
life, but this is not a requirement to be saved. You see, the ERV is teaching
doctrines of devils, requiring people to change their own life (which is human
effort) as a requirement to be saved. This is reformation, which does not
bring regeneration (the new birth).
Again we plainly
witness, that the Luciferian groups which have provided the Greek manuscripts
for today's versions, are pushing an agenda of including human effort for
salvation. You must understand that there is a progression at work in the
Bible-corrupting movement. This is why the NIV 2011
changed its content 38.8% as
compared to the NIV 1984. The Bible
corrupting gang won't ever be finished changing the Bible until the
Antichrist appears. If the Lord tarries His return, we are going to see
further assassination of the Word of God. We'll see more key passages
concerning salvation changed, until the simplicity that is in Christ will be
totally lost in the confusion. This was Satan's plan from the start.
A church whose
congregation brings dozens of different Bibles with them to church each Sunday
is effectively indicting their shameful pastor as a wicked man who doesn't
place much value upon the accuracy, purity and integrity of God's Holy Word.
It is obvious to me, and it should be very obvious to you, from exposing these
doctrinally corrupted passages of Scripture concerning the meaning of
repentance, why the heresy of Lordship Salvation is so prevalent in most of
our churches today (and this sadly includes Independent Baptist Churches). It
is wickedness and apostasy in the churches!!!
ERV Completely
Removes Acts 8:37, Eliminating Jesus' Deity
They just ripped
the verse out, it's totally GONE! Here is what the precious King James Bible
says in Acts 8:37 . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Acts 8:37, “And Philip said, If thou believest with
all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God.”
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — ACTS 8:37, REMOVED
The modern Bible
are all corrupt. The so-called “scholars” who support the modern versions are
also corrupt. Dr. James Strong and fellow American Standard Version (ASV)
committee members, and Strong's Unitarian friend, Henry Thayer, all denied the
deity of Christ in hundreds of places in their works. These were all evil men,
who loved the praise of men more than the praise of God (John 12:42-43). Don't
believe the lie on Wikipedia concerning “Bible translations” that there is no
one Bible. God only wrote ONE BOOK!
ERV Changes Plan
of Salvation By Corrupting Acts 2:38
Again, the Greek
word for “repent” in Acts 2:38 in the King James Bible is metanoeo,
which means, “to think differently.” It is a change of mind. It DOESN'T
mean to “change your hearts and lives,” which is what the corrupt ERV says!!!
According to the demonic ERV, God will not save anyone who doesn't change
their life . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
[emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV)
— Acts 2:38, “Peter said to them, “Change your hearts and lives and be
baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Then God will forgive
your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
[emphasis added]
The average person
these days is helpless, because they are not theologians and so they trust
their pastor. I know of a Baptist pastor down the street, who is a
compromised man in his heart, because he uses this ERV trash in his church. It's
certainly not God's church. The trustworthy King James Bible teaches in Acts
2:38 to “think differently and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ.” It does not say to “change your hearts and lives” to be saved.
The notion that repentance means to change your own life as a requirement to
be saved is satanic teaching. No wonder our churches think heretics like Paul
Washer and John MacArthur are men of God. The new corrupt Bible versions are
indoctrinating people with a false plan of salvation.
Also, notice carefully
that Acts 2:38 doesn't say to be “baptized into water.” This is not speaking
about water baptism. The Bible commands us to be baptized “in the name of
Jesus Christ.” I'll give you further Scriptural evidence from Luke 3:16,
“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one
mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.” John the
Baptist told that people that he was merely baptizing them with water, but it
was the coming blessed Lamb of God (Jesus Christ), Who would baptize them with
the indwelling Holy Spirit. Amen!!!
John the Baptist
was sent by God the Father to PREPARE the people to receive the Lamb of God.
John 1:29, “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
Matthew 11:10, “For this is he, of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee.” John didn't come preaching a different plan of
salvation than Christ; but rather, told the people that salvation could only
be found in Jesus Christ. So in Acts 2:38, Peter was preaching at
Pentecost and told the people to change their minds (not lives) and be immersed in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.
It is very
important for every Bible student to understand that you never lift any
particular Scripture out of context by itself for establish a doctrine; but
rather, you always compare Scripture with Scripture, examining the whole of
Scripture, and when the whole agrees with any suggested doctrine for a
particular Bible passage, then you know you've found THE TRUTH.
For example: Jesus
proclaimed in Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned.” Taken by itself, we might conclude that water baptism is required
for salvation. However, let's look at 1st Corinthians 1:16-19, “And I
baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I
baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the
gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of
none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” The
Apostle Paul said that other than the house of Stephanas, he was not aware of
anyone whom he had water baptized.
Paul then boldly
states that Christ did NOT send him to water baptize, BUT TO PREACH THE
GOSPEL. And then in the next verse we learn that it is THE PREACHING OF THE
CROSS (the Gospel - Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-4) is the power
of God unto salvation. Clearly, water baptism is not necessary for salvation,
otherwise Paul would have baptized everyone. So we see here the importance of
cross-examination, by comparing Scripture with Scripture, to find the correct
interpretation of the Holy Bible.
ERV Changes Plan
of Salvation By Corrupting Romans 10:9-10
Let's examine
another passage of Scripture in the pathetic ERV that changes the plan of
salvation . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Romans 10:9-10, “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. For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.”
[emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — Romans 10:9-10, “If you openly say, 'Jesus
is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you
will be saved. Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made
right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are
saved.”
[emphasis added]
There is a drastic
difference between confessing “the Lord Jesus” verses openly saying, “Jesus is
Lord”! Nowhere in the Holy Bible are we taught to recognize Jesus as our “Lord”
to be saved. You simply trust Jesus as your Savior and then He automatically
becomes your Lord. Whether you obey Him or not as a disciple is an entirely
separate matter. This is why the disobedient saved man in 1st Corinthians 3:15
was “saved; yet so, as by fire.” He barely made it, singed with the flames of
Hell. This Christian man lived a wasted life, and so he received no rewards
from the Lord at the Judgment Seat Of Christ. Clearly, he didn't confess Jesus
to anyone. Nor did he honor Christ as his Lord during his earthly life. 1st
Timothy 4:10 says that Jesus is the “Saviour” of all men, not their Lord.
Many foolish Bible
students attempt to use Saul's conversion (Paul) as a benchmark for all
conversions, which is very wrong. Saul had been running from God, wasting the
Church, hunting down Christians to murder them. So when the Lord appeared to
him on the road to Damascus in Acts 9:1-5, Saul was under much Holy Spirit
conviction and finally broke. It was Saul's unique Pharisaical upbringing and
religious background that prompted him to have the spectacular conversion
experience that he did, but this is far from the normal way that people get
saved. Most people just quietly receive Christ as their Savior, with no
spectacular experience.
Furthermore, the
KJB simply teaches that we confess with our mouth because we are saved. It
would be wrong to add confession with the mouth as a requirement for
salvation, when literally hundreds of other passages of Scripture tell us how
to be saved, and not one of them mentions confessing with the mouth to be
saved. Clearly, Romans 10:9-10 do NOT teach that a person must confess “Jesus
is Lord” to be saved. This is a horrible PERversion of the Word of God. The
ERV is satanic!
And again, the
chief rulers in John 12:42 believed on the Lord to be saved, but they DID NOT
CONFESS HIM for fear of being kicked out of the synagogue by the wicked
Pharisees. The Bible says that these chief rulers, who were saved, loved the
praise of men more than the praise of God (John 12:43). The Scriptures are
filled with worldly believers who dropped the ball for God. In Romans 12:1,
the Apostle Paul is pleading with the Christians at Rome to present their
bodies a living sacrifice to serve God. Romans 12:1, “I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.” Obviously they hadn't surrender their will to the
Lord at the time of salvation. They hadn't made a commitment to live for
Christ.
The Rich Young
Ruler Wanted To Work His Way Into Heaven
This was the
problem of the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18-23. The young man asked Jesus,
“Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus perceived
that he was self-righteous, and so He told him to keep the Ten Commandments.
The young man boasted of his own goodness, saying that he had kept all of
God's commandments. Jesus pointed out that he was covetous and hadn't
perfectly kept God's law. The Lord told him to go sell his possessions and
give the money to the poor. The young man went away very sad, because he was
wealthy.
You need to
understand that Jesus was not giving that young man a plan of salvation; but
rather, He was using the law the way that it was intended to be used, which is
as a measuring stick to show men that no matter how hard they try, no one can
live a perfect life to merit their way into Heaven. Romans 3:19, “Now we
know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the
law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may
become guilty before God.”
Hence, when a
person realizes that they cannot get to Heaven their own way (DEAD WORKS),
because they now understand that they are a guilty sinner in God's holy eyes,
and they BELIEVE the Gospel (good news) of Christ's death on the cross, burial
and bodily resurrection three days later, they are immediately and forever
saved.
Reprobate, unsaved, false prophet,
Billy Graham totally misinterprets Luke 18:18-23, errantly teaching that
the rich young ruler didn't get saved because he “counted the cost” and wasn't
willing to “PAY THE PRICE” of turning from sinful ways to be saved. That's the
religious garbage that Mr. Graham teaches. The following quote is from
Graham's website . . .
“Many people come to Christ without first counting the cost. The cost
includes repentance, the forsaking of sin, and a continual, daily, open
acknowledgment of Christ in your life.”

Reprobate Billy Graham
That is a bunch of
lies! The Bible says many of the chief rulers “BELIEVED ON HIM” in John 12:42,
but they “DID NOT CONFESS HIM” because of the Pharisees (John 12:43). This
Bible passage exposes Billy Graham as a liar! You don't have to count the cost
to be saved, nor do you have to forsake sins, nor do you have to daily confess
Christ. Graham's satanic plan of salvation is based upon DEAD WORKS, which
appeals greatly to unsaved Roman Catholics. Nothing of what Graham says is a
part of God's plan of salvation.
Dr. Ray Stanford Refutes The Heresy Of LORDSHIP SALVATION
Please note that
Evangelist Ray Comfort and Pastor John MacArthur make the same theological
blunder of assuming that the rich young ruler didn't get saved, because he
wasn't willing to forsake his sins. Nothing could be further from the truth of
God's Word.
ERV Changes John
20:17 To Speak Utter Nonsense
I'm so sick of
hearing stubborn pastors and assistant pastors defend the modern corrupted
Bible versions, claiming that most people cannot understand the King James
Bible and need something easier to read. Consider the following comparison
between the KJB and the ERV, and you will see how stupid their claims really
are . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) —
John 20:17, “Jesus saith unto her,
Touch me
not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren,
and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God,
and your God.”
[emphasis added]
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) —
John 20:17, “Jesus said to her,
“You don’t need to
hold on to me! I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my
followers and tell them this: ‘I am going back to
my Father and your Father. I am going back to my God and your God.’”
[emphasis added]
What in the world
does the ERV mean? It is completely retarded? Why would Jesus tell Mary
Magdalene that she doesn't need to hold on to Him, because He hasn't yet gone
back to the Father? SHAME ON THOSE WICKED PASTORS WHO PROMOTE THIS CRAP AS
EASIER-TO-READ!!! The ERV, as are all modern PERversions, is so retarded that
it doesn't matter how easy it is to read, because the comprehension rate is
down close to 50%. So much for a pastor who is a “professor.” Ha, let me tell
some more jokes!
Now the King James
Bible says Jesus told Mary not to touch Him, because He hadn't ascended
to the Father yet. Hebrews 9:12 and 24 teach us that Jesus “BY HIS OW BLOOD”
entered into the heavenly Holy Place on our behalf, to sprinkle His precious
blood upon the Mercy Seat (Hebrews 12:24) in the presence of the Father. If
Mary had touched Jesus, she would have corrupted the blood sacrifice. Now that
makes perfect theological sense, because that's the truth.
If you are using
the ERV (or any modern corrupt version), you must now make a decision to
either get right with God and stop using it, or continue in your apostate
condition, because you just don't care about the purity of the Word of God.
The only Bible for me is the precious KING JAMES BIBLE!!! Thank you dear Lord
God for your awesome holy, inspired, inerrant, infallible, preserved, Words!!!
You Need To Be
Born-Again if You Have Been Deceived By Lordship Salvation
I am fully
convinced that all Lordship Salvation pastors and assistant pastors are not
saved. My friend, if you believe that ceasing from a sinful lifestyle was
required for you to be saved, then YOU ARE NOT SAVED!!! There's a very fine
line between salvation and damnation, between faith and foolishness, between
truth and religion. Do you think it is a mere coincidence that all of the
corrupt Alexandrian Bible versions have changed the plan of salvation from one
of completely resting in Christ alone, to one of turning away from an evil
lifestyle to be saved? Not a chance in a trillion! Literally, all of the
modern corrupted Bible versions, including the satanic ERV, line up with the
satanic plan of salvation of Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses,
Seventh-Day Adventists and other demonic religious cults.
When a pastor is
indifferent toward these two very different Gospels, I cannot help but
conclude that they are merely religious and have never truly been born-again.
Perhaps this is why such churches never hear any preaching from their pastors
about the need for the power of the Holy Spirit, and to pray for the power of
the Holy Spirit. Since those pastors are merely religious and do not have the
Spirit of God indwelling them, they cannot teach what they do not possess.
If you consider
the important Scripture passages relating to salvation which we've examined in
this article, that have been totally changed and horribly corrupted, we now
have A VERY DIFFERENT PLAN OF SALVATION than the simplicity that is found in
Christ in the King James Bible (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). According to the ERV
you must change your heart and your life in order to be saved. You must openly
say, 'Jesus is Lord,' like some type of superstitious ritual. You must turn
away from any evil things that you are doing in your life, or else you cannot
be saved. This is the satanic plan of damnation in the ERV.
In sharp contrast,
you don't have to stop doing evil things to be saved. Biblically, according to
John 3:20, a person WON'T come to Jesus to be saved if they are doing evil
things. That is what the Bible teaches. So the problem takes care of itself.
Do you know why? It is because Biblical repentance is a change of mind. When a
person who has been doing evil things comes to the realization (under the
convicting power of the Holy Spirit) that they are a guilty sinner in God's
holy eyes, and that person places their trust in the sacrificial death of
Christ on the cross for their sins, His burial and bodily resurrection three
days later, that sinner is immediately and forever saved securely. Whether
they stop committing those evils in their life is an entirely different
matter, which has nothing to do with salvation. This is simply because eternal
life is a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). You simply TAKE a gift. Nothing is
required to receive a gift. It is free. Salvation is received, it is not
achieved.
The fact that this
person came to Christ for salvation evidences that they now have a new
attitude toward their sins, seeing them self as guilty in God's eyes. This
does NOT mean that the person is ready nor willing to forsake those sins. God
will chastise and scourge each believer who chooses to continue in sin. This
is how it works my friend. But we must never change the plan of salvation in
an attempt to force people to forsake their sins. This is a false plan of
salvation. This is the basis of the Lordship Salvation heresy.
The truth is that
you first get saved by simply trusting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then, as a
new believer, God will impress upon your heart to be crucified with Him, and
raise up to walk in newness of life (as evidenced in Romans 12:1). Everybody
is different. Some believers never grow to the point of dying to self, others
do. Albeit, the right thing to do if someone professes faith (apart from
works) in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to give them the benefit of the doubt
that they are saved. There are so many factors involved. For a wonderful MP3
sermon on the subject, please listen to Dr. Jack Hyles' classic sermon, “STEPS
IN SANCTIFICATION (OR; THE ROOT OF ALL HERESY).”
I could easily
show you hundreds more passages from the ERV where they've changed the plan of
salvation into a lie. Our pastors are mostly to blame, because they are the
shepherds over their flocks. If our nation's pastors and assistant pastors are
woefully blinded and/or indifferent to these great evils, then our
churches are doomed. If you believe the lie of Lordship Salvation, you have
never been saved at all. There is only one plan of salvation taught in the
Bible, and that is to simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Do You Love the
Truth?
2nd Thessalonians
2:10 tells us the reason why the masses of this world will be deceived and
follow after the Antichrist when he comes... “BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE
LOVE OF THE TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED”!!! If they would have loved
the truth, they would have believed the Gospel, and so they also would have
been raptured. Instead, they were left behind, and now they will follow the
Antichrist! Many of those masses of people left behind will be THE CHURCHES.
All of the Lordship Salvation churches will be left behind, because THEY
RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED”!!! Go ahead,
don't listen to me—trust in your changed life, forsaking evil ways and
confessing Christ. Good luck with that! The satanic new Bible versions are
fueling the heresy of Lordship Salvation. I am telling you the truth my
friends, will you heed the warning?
It is so simply
and easy to be saved that most people walk right past the narrow gate. Few
there be that find it (Matthew 7:13-14). They're looking for a big fancy door
into a big fancy religion. They're looking for a religious door that makes
them feel spiritual. They're looking for a door with an entrance policy, who
won't let you in unless you're clean-shaven, sober, moral and intend to live a
clean life if they let you in. They're looking for a door with flashing neon
lights, something spectacular. None of these doors lead to life. The only door
into Heaven is Jesus, a little pathway, which is obscured by the all the other
attractive gates, religious entrances, big doors and bright paths with their
owners clamoring for their attention, shouting “Enter here!,” “No, over here,
come in here!” Little do most people realize that Satan owns all those
buildings! All except one, that little humble path, Jesus!
I often feel
lonely standing for the truth, when hardly anyone stands. Most pastors,
churches and Bible colleges today don't have any interest in debating which
Bible is God's Word. So they just support all of the Bibles, not exposing or
criticizing any of them. The reason why they lack that passion is because they
lack faith. If we truly believe Psalms 138:2, that God magnifies His Word
above all His name, then we would care. I CARE! The Bible is very important.
Even the slightest subtle changes alter the meaning of a passage of Scripture
considerably. Woe unto today's pastors who don't care, just going along to get
along.
I picture nearly
all of today's churches as being aboard a big ship. On the side of the ship it
reads, “Mainstream Evangelicalism!” There are hundreds of Bible versions
aboard the ship. There are dozens of different plans of salvation taught by
evangelicals like John MacArthur, Rick Warren, Chip Ingram, Ray Comfort,
William Lane Craig, Paul Washer, Billy Graham and others onboard. Everybody
aboard the ship is going along to get along. Nobody exposes or criticizes each
other. Everybody is comfortable, enjoying all the splendors of the luxury
ship. They all draw near to God with their mouths, and honor God with their
lips, but their heart is far from Him, teaching manmade doctrines. This ship's
captain is Lucifer! Anything goes on Lucifer's ship. It doesn't matter which
Bible version you use. It doesn't matter which plan of salvation that you
choose to believe. Everybody is taken care of and prospering.
Have you been
deceived? What satanic imposter are you holding in your hand at church on
Sunday? Boy, of ever there was a lie, it's the following translation from the
ERV. Notice how they deceitfully changed the Word of God to exonerate
themselves. They are corrupting God's Word, which is what 2nd Corinthians 2:17
warns against in the KJB. So the ERV changed it to “selling God's Word for
profit” instead! The ERV company, World Bible Translation Center (WBTC)
is in trouble with God for corrupting His Word. It's not a sin to sell God's
Word, it's a sin to corrupt it, whether you sell it or not . . .
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — 2nd Corinthians 2:17,
“For we are not
as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but
as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — 2nd Corinthians 2:17, “Certainly not
those
who are out there selling God’s message for a profit! But we don’t do
that. With Christ’s help we speak God’s truth honestly, knowing that we must
answer to him.”
[emphasis added]
Just as there is a
Biblical curse upon every false Gospel, so also is there a curse upon anyone
who changes the Word of God, and the foolish pastors who uses such corrupted
Bible versions are cursing their congregation, and bringing God's curse upon
them as well.
Acts 15:1, “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.”
