ADVANCED PROOF
THE TWO-EDGED SWORD OF THE AUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE (1611)
vs.
the OUTDATED GREEK
By Perry Demopoulos
The material presented here is a simple comparison of verses between the Authorized Version of the King James Bible (1611) and manuscripts. There is a world wide conspiracy of those of the “‘Yea, hath God said’ (Gen. 3:1) Society” that believe you must have, and or either know Greek and Hebrew to better understand what God said. These people have an Alexandrian Cult mentality, whether there source of manuscripts are from Alexandria, Egypt or from Antioch, (from which the King James Bible came). This also could be applied to any and all translators that are translating the Bible into a foreign tongue. Since the Alexandrian, Africa, Egyptian line of manuscripts do not present so much a problem for the average Bible believer to spot it is the men who are promoters of the Textus Receptus (or Received Text) that may give the true Bible believe a bit of a problem. Once they are laid side by side you can spot a ‘TR’ man for what he really is, an Alexandrian at heart (Acts 6:9; 27:6; Isa. 31:1)
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and PERVERT THE WORDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS. (Deuteronomy 16:19)
And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and PERVERTETH THE WORDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS. (Exodus 23:8)
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; FOR YE HAVE PERVERTED THE WORDS OF THE LIVING GOD, of the LORD of hosts our God. (Jeremiah 23:36)
What is a textus receptus?
The words “textus receptus” are simply the Latin words for “Received Text” which consists of the majority of Greek manuscripts that make up the New Testament and from which the King James Bible was translated. There are basically two lines of manuscripts, a corrupt line from Alexandria, Egypt and the line from Antioch, Syria (Acts 13) from which the King James Bible was translated.
Statement of Faith
Our position is that the words from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 in the Holy Bible (AV 1611) are “THE WORDS OF THE LIVING GOD…” as a complete and perfect unit called “the holy scriptures” (Rom. 1:2 and 2 Tim. 3:15) and any and all deviations from that is a “falling away” spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. At that point that person, school, pastor, college, evangelist, preacher, teacher, or ANY other is a spiritual PERVERT concerning the words of God. He is effeminate when it comes to standing (in this case not standing) to a BOOK written in the most accessible, most common language, the INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE of English. All nations, tongues and people are to refer to it. It is THE INTER–NATIONAL, not just national (local) BOOK. “Inter” means “between, among, or mutual, reciprocal, etc. That is, it is IN and AMONG all nations for everyone to interact with. That is HISTORY; HIS/STORY! Therefore everyone on top side of this earth is to go to THAT BOOK to know what God distinctly said.
Below is a list of subjects showing where the King James Bible is superior over any and all manuscripts extant (existing today), including “the originals,” for “the originals” are not available for us. If any effeminate professes that his “originals” are better than the King James Bible, then he is to DEMONSTRATE his point, else he is an EVOLUTIONIST at heart whether he be a ‘TR’ (Textus Receptus, i.e., Received Text) man, let alone some other Alexandrian (a man that uses manuscripts from Alexandria, Egypt). God is no respecter of persons. He will judge any man’s false profession. Any bold profession concerning some originals is simply a cover up of his hypocrisy. He is a theorist with no absolute truth in his hands. His belief goes DIRECTLY AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD (Psa. 12:6, 7; Psa. 138:2; Matt. 24:35). God promised to preserve His word which implies copies and translations.
The AV exposes the Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic System
How is that Done?
1. In the King’s English the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic system; Roman Pontiff, cardinals, priests, is laid out, whereas in the Greek texts (any of them) the different ranks of a priest-class are not revealed as such.
- The reason for that is there was only a Gentile Roman power during the time when the international language was Greek. There was no Roman Catholic Church hierarchy. ---
- Therefore Greek manuscripts, NOT EVEN THE ORIGINALS would have had to say anything about that system.
- It wasn’t until some 300-400 plus years AFTER the completion of the New Testament writings the Roman Catholic Church system was formed in its entirety. John PROPHESIED about it.
- Prophecy means that WHICH IS TO COME. That means it didn’t exist then.
2. In Matthew 26:3 we read the following – “Then assembled together the CHIEF PRIESTS, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the HIGH PRIEST, who was called Caiaphas,”
Notice in this verse as in other verses that there is a class of “chief priests” and also another class, the “high priest.” Those two classes come from the same Greek word avrciereu,j..
3. The Authorized Version gives 4 classes of a priests whereas in any and all Greek texts (Alexandrian or Antiochan) there are listed only 3 –
(1.) “the great high priest” is Jesus Christ (Heb. 4:14). He is separate, and sinless.
So we’ll put Him in a separate category.
But there are three other ranks of priests on the earth.
(2.) “high priest(s)” (the Greek word is pronounced Arch-khee-eh-re-oos)
(3.) “chief priest(s)” the same word - Arch-khee-eh-re-oos)
(Note in all Greek texts the word for “high priest” (No. 2) is the same exact word used for “chief priest” (No. 3) without any distinction except in the plural.
(4.) “priest(s)” the lower ranked priests.
4. So, which text best attacks and stabs the Roman Catholic System? Of course the King James Bible.
- That’s why any Bible perverter is Roman Catholic at heart if he doesn’t take a firm stand on the King James Bible. The AV cuts through that system and exposes it for what it is – WICKED.
- If a man is going to be a Bible believer he automatically becomes ANTI-CATHOLIC because of its wicked, pyramid-system of a hierarchy that the King James Bible EXPOSES! Greek manuscripts here and as in so many other places simply don’t “cut’ the mustard.”
“Easter”
1. “Easter” (Acts 12:4) is NOT in any manuscripts “And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
2. Secondly, the development of the word “Easter” is simply a different pronunciation or another form of the word “Ashteroth,” also pronounced “Ishtar,” (found on the Assyrian monuments and also from Nineveh) or “Astarte,” (named after the Syrian goddess) which was introduced very early into Britain, along with the Druids.
3. Again, the AV shows the connection of Ashteroth, (Astarte) of the Old Testament Babylonian worshipping of a female goddess known as “the queen of heaven” (Jer. 7:18; 44:17-25)
4. When understanding words in The Holy Bible looking at the root of a word helps very much. In the case concerning the word “Easter” the English word “East” means something. The King James Bible prophesizes of the end times of what kind of religion will be the world religion under the antichrist. TODAY it is the worship of a woman that began in the EAST – BABYLON. That woman is promoted and exalted by a church, the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. She is spoken of in Revelation 17:5, “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Anybody knows that that religion is not a Jewish religion. It is a PAGAN religion. It’s system and doctrines are the cause of more people getting killed for any other reason, “And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth” (Revelation 18:24). We’re dealing with a system and a spirit that existed even before there ever was a Jew on top side of this earth.
5. Today this “queen of heaven” is Mary of the Roman Catholic WHORE, a woman church that has a woman goddess. Greek manuscripts will not help you at all here in Acts 12:4 concerning this truth.
6. “Ashteroth” as mentioned in the Bible is not only a geographical place, but also the name given to a female goddess worshipped by heathen. Various Bible land maps have its location about 40 kilometers east of the Sea of Galilee. The name “Ashteroth” is found in the following verses (Gen. 14:5; Deut. 1:4 (“Astoroth”) Josh. 9:10; 12:4; 13:12, 31; Judg. 2:13; 10:6; 1 Sam. 7:3, 4; 12:10; 31:10; 1 Kings 11:5, 33; 2 Kings 23:13; 1 Chron. 6:71). It is connected with pagan, Gentiles, and giants that were enemies of God and Israel. Later Israel went into apostasy. Note Judges 2:13 “And they [the Jews] forsook the Lord and served Baal and Ashteroth”
7. This is the seventh great mystery revealed in the holy scriptures that talks about that religion from the EAST. The holiday that is practiced among many people, tongues, nations, is EASTER. Herod, a wicked king was not connected with “Passover” (a Jewish designation) but with his own Gentile wicked holiday, “EASTER.”
8. The Holy Bible (AV 1611) is the only Bible on earth in the international language of English that has this revelation. The significance of this word is that it is the only place in the New Testament that exposes with what religion the leaders in the end times will be connected – the worship of a woman that started in the EAST. Therefore “Easter” is a far better word than Passover.
9. Doctrinally it also can be proven that “Passover” (Grk. “pascha”) was celebrated on the 14th of the first month of the Jewish calendar. Then started the feast of unleavened bread called “the days of unleavened bread,” from the 15th day till the 21st. That is what is in Acts 12:4 “(Then were the days of unleavened bread.)” That is seven days SEPARATE from the 14th day of Passover. The offering required on the 14th day is DIFFERENT from the offerings that were brought from the 15th to the 21st. And no combining the two different offerings will do any good. Ezekiel 45:21 has a COMMA in it that separates “the passover” (comma) from “a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.”
10. Note first of all “THE day” or “THE Passover” mentioned – (Lev. 23:5; Num. 9:5, 6; 28:16; Josh. 5:10; 2 Chron. 30:15; 35:1, 16; Ezra 6:19; Ezek. 45:21).
Notice also “the feast of unleavened bread” (Exod. 12:17). Then notices “the days of unleavened bread” (Exod. 12:15).
11. That means that the Greek word “pascha” is an “out of date” word because nobody today could ever connect Herod with his Old Testament pagan practice of Ashteroth, Astarte, unless the “up to date” Authorized Version had “Easter” there.
That is PROGRESSIVE REVELATION in “the holy scriptures” (Rom. 1:2; 2 Tim. 3:15) preserved by the Holy Spirit Himself in the international (not local or national) language of English.
12. The Greek word “pascha” (in all extant Greek texts – Antiochan; Beza, Scrivner, or Alexandrian; Westcott and Hort, Aland, Metzger, etc.) is a “misfire” compared to the KOBALT BOMB of “Easter” in “the holy scriptures” (Rom. 1:2; 2 Tim. 3:15) of the AUTHORIZED Version (1611). The Catholics know that. That is why the Jesuits tried to kill King James buy putting a supply of dynamite under his house to kill him. That was a “misfire” also!
“Council”
1. In the Authorized Version the word “council” is mentioned 22 times in the New Testament (Matthew 5:22; 12:14; 26:59; Mark 14:55; 15:1; Luke 22:56; John 11:47; Acts 4:15; 5:21, etc.)
2. The word “COUNCIL” is nowhere to be found in any Greek manuscripts. The Greek word is “Sanhedrin.” The word “Sanhedrin” is an outdated word.
The English is UP TO DATE! WHY?
3. Because, in the first century there was no such thing as a Church, the Roman Catholic Church.
4. The “Whore” of Revelation with all of her doctrines of devils would not be in full blossom until at least 300 years AFTER John got his revelation (approx. 95 A.D.) about that Whore.
5. Sanhedrin is only a Jewish designation. “COUNCIL” is a WORLD WIDE designation that has to do with Jews and Gentiles around the whole world against the Messiah.
6. Now notice how the King James Bible is up to date. There are such councils as
(1.) Security COUNCIL which is the United Nations.
(2.) COUNCIL of War
(3.) COUNCIL for Mutual Economic Assistance
(4.) COUNCIL of Europe
(5.) COUNCIL on Foreign Relations
(6.) Economic and Social COUNCIL
(7.) COUNCIL for Advancement and Support of Education
(8.) COUNCIL for Mutual Economic Assistance
(9.) COUNCIL for Securities Industry
(10.) COUNCIL for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts
(11.) COUNCIL of American States in Europe
(12.) COUNCIL on International Economic Policy
(13.) Etc.
7. Every time there was a big religions “Council” is was to stop sound doctrine from being published, preached and taught.
8. That is why the King James Bible is more up to date, because it tells of all the ECUMENICAL church “COUNCILS” by religious PHARISEES AND HYPCRITES that have tried to stop and are trying to stop true Biblical Christianity –
(1.) The National COUNCIL of Christian Churches
(2.) The COUNCIL of Nicea (325 A.D.)
(3.) The COUNCIL of Trent (1545-1563) was to counteract the Reformation.
(4.) The COUNCIL of the Vatican (1969-70) was to declare the Infallibility of the Pope.
The Usage of Capital Letters is not in the “Original” Greek
ILLUSTRATION – Imagine reading everything that you see and absolutely everything was written in small cursives or long-hand. You’d see something like this: wesellinsurance What you just read is – “We sell insurance”
Let’s take another example getmoreforless That says “Get more for less”
forgodsolovedthewordthathegavehisonlybegottenson That says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…”
1. In the King James Bible, there are MANY places where bold capital letters are used for emphasis. That would be impossible in Greek manuscripts for Greek manuscripts of the ‘koine’ dialect (of the first century during the time of the apostles) never use capitals. The letters were always the same.
2. Here is a small list of the many examples where the King James Bible has words capitalized –
1.) In 1 Timothy 6:15 we read, “Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;”
3. Notice carefully also in 1 Timothy 6:15 that the “K” of “King” is capitalized which follows the word “Potentate” which is also capitalized to sever the previous kings, Artaxerxes and Nebuchadnezzar from “the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings.” Now that is the difference between the King James Bible and Greek texts, ANY of them from the Antiochan line. There is no Textus Receptus text that has that word “Potentate” capitalized. For the language of the first century which was used, “koine” Greek was not written with emphasis (capital letters) on certain words like our case here.
So the Authorized Version is better than the “originals.”
Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 19:16 we read, “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Notice the whole phrase capitalized.
4. So the King James Bible is more practical when it comes to emphasizing words just as people would emphasize words in their own speech.
5. Also in writing, many authors emphasis their thoughts on paper by making use of upper and lower case letters along with BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS with punctuation marks.
ILLUSTRATION – A great evangelist of the 20th Century, Billy Sunday would write in his notes in his sermon outlines with VERY BIG LETTERS. The reason for that was to remind him of how the Lord would have him express that particular thought as it was given to him in prayer and preparation of that sermon.
This author knows at least three other preachers that practice that. It is Biblical.
6. So we see the advantage of upper and lower case letters along with bold letters in the King James Bible that “the originals” don’t have.
7. The Bible becomes more practical, more expressive in its ways to emphasis what God wanted emphasized. If grammatical marks, “one jot or one tittle” (Matt. 5:18) are necessary for proper reading and expression then matters and means of expression by upper and lower case letters along with BOLD LETTERS are no less important.
