Hiya Tony, my 9-year-old daughter goes to a Christian school that mandates the use of the NKJV for their curriculum. Upon watching your video, I had concerns; so, after Sunday service, I conveyed them to an elder, who is also a biblical scholar. He is actually fluent in Greek. I rendered a couple examples that you put forth in this video. The 1st was the instance of being "saved" in the KJV vs. "being saved" in the NKJV. I then gave him the instance of the words "Son" in the KJV being changed to "servant" in the NKJV version. In both instances, based on the actual Greek wording in the Textus Receptus, he said that "being saved" is a more accurate translation, as well as the word "servant" being a more accurate representation than the word, "Son." In short, he claimed that the NKJV was a more accurate translation (at least pertaining to the Textus Receptus Text comprising the NT) is more accurate than the KJV. One possible issue/problem with his explanation is that, according to you, the NT in the NKJV, is not derived from the Masoretic Text- but rather the Vaticanus Text. What are your thoughts on my encounter, specifically the elder's explanation? Thanks!
@truthunchainedministries1564 Жыл бұрын
First, I do apologize for not responding sooner. It is good that you asked the elder - never go off what a person says without studying for yourself! What you encountered is a prime example of scholarship being exalted over the Bible. Did the elder open up the NKJV and disprove the contradictions or did he simply point to the mysterious "original" manuscripts to justify his answers? Always look at who is being exalted. "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." - Col. 1:18 "...for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." - Ps. 138:2 The Bible translations comprise a $6M industry. Have you ever wondered why only the King James Bible can be found in a dollar store? The KJV is the only Bible that is public domain, and as is the case with all public domain works, 25% of the text has to be changed in order to call it an original work that can be sold. If you look at the history of the NKJV, you'll find that it is traced back to the RV which is a product of Wescott and Hort (two scholars that did not believe the Bible - I did a video on it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/maicmMt6mprYc30.html). Roughly 300 translations have been produced since 1900 - and none of them have had the impact on this world as the King James Bible. You don't have to be a Greek or Hebrew scholar to see that. All you have to do is look at what Bible gives Jesus Christ the preeminence, which Bible does not have any contradictions, and which Bible has not caused men to become wealthy. I hope this helps :)

I think this is a well-meaning video. But the analysis has shortcomings. The KJV does on occasion deviate from a more formally equivalent or literal translation of the Hebrew and Greek text compared to the NKJV. And, of course, vice versa. You can see this if you compare both translations with Young’s Literal Translation of the textus receptus. This not a money-grabbing modern translation but a very literal 19th century translation of the same exact underlying text of the KJV. Proverbs 16:1 (YLT): Of man are arrangements of the heart, and from Jehovah an answer of the tongue. Proverbs 19:18 (YLT): Chastise thy son, for there is hope, and to put him to death lift not up thy soul. Proverbs 25:23 (YLT): A north wind bringeth forth rain, and a secret tongue - indignant faces. In each of these instances, the NKJV has a more literal reading than the KJV. But the NKJV is not flawless. The point is that the KJV does not always have the more literal translation in every place. I have personally cross-compared many random passages of both to the original Greek and Hebrew with the help of concordances and interlinears and the NKJV stands up surprisingly well against the KJV in literalness. But there are still instances where the KJV has the more literal reading. For example, look at Proverbs 16:10 (YLT): An oath is on the lips of a king, in judgment his mouth trespasseth not. The KJV is more literal than the NKJV here. But then look at this one… Proverbs 18:8 (YLT): The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, and they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart. The KJV matches Young’s translation more closely. However, if you look at the Hebrew word translated wounds you find that it means something that is swallowed or gulped down quickly or greedily. The NKJV better captures the literal meaning of the word, that it is something consumed, which is why the next line says that it goes “down into the innermost parts of the belly” (KJV). But the KJV translations aims to express the proverbial meaning more clearly even though it is less literal, which is consistent with the preceding verse: “A fool’s mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul.” Ultimately, both are fine translations of the textus receptus. But you should not disparage one translation simply because it disagrees with the other. What matters is there agreement with the meaning of the underlying Hebrew or Greek text. Both get it right far more often than not, especially compared to many other translations out there based on the highly eclectic critical text. God’s peace and blessings be with you.

What is corrupt about the NKJV? What are you comparing it to? The imperfect uninspired KJV? Since when was the KJV the standard? A translation from later manuscripts dedicated to the Pope. With mistranslations like Easter instead of Passover. Which the NKJV translates correctly. Still that is the insanity of the KJV only heresy. Strange how these so called "truth ministries" peddle out the same old lies
Some clarification may be needed as to the underlying text of the NKJV. The OT is based on the Stuttgart text, a corrupted masoretic text. The NT is based on the TR, but it is translated using critical text/ Alexandrian rules. These are just a few reasons why the NKJV is perhaps the most deceiving perversion of God’s word.

I understand what you are saying, but you are leaving out two very important details. 1) I do not know if you watched the entire video. Discussed are the origins of the King James Bible and the NKJV. Look at the manuscripts that were used for the KJV - Masoretic (Hebrew OT from Israel) and the Textus Receptus (Greek NT from Antioch where believers where first called Christians). The NKJV does not share the same sources and stems from the Alexandrian (Egypt) and Vaticainus (Rome) texts. 2) You can compare English with English because we speak English and English is what the Lord used for the King James Bible that was used to spread the Gospel throughout the world (study the Church Age of Philadelphia).

By stating that isn't the case at all. 1) The King James Bible was spread throughout the world from the 1700s to the modern day - which means it has a wider audience. 2) You can only buy a King James Bible in a Dollar Store - making it more accessible to all social classes. 3) The King James Bible remains the best selling book of all time - making it the most available. 4) From 1901 to 2023 (122 years) there have been a little over 300 versions of the Bible put out to replace the King James Bible under the argument that the KJV is too hard to understand. That means that a new "bible" has been produced every 2.45 months on average - meaning somebody wants your money and not because our English language changes too frequently.
@JoskMclaren11 ай бұрын
The events experienced by @jetsetjoey highlight a typical response from scholars who support the NKJV. Their claims usually assert that the KJV got it wrong because they didn't have access to manuscripts that we now have and that these "newly found" ones are actually older and are, somehow, therefore more correct. Well, since none of the manuscripts is in fact an immediate copy of the originials, let alone an actual original, the argument has no merit since they are not in nay way more liekly to be more accurate. This raises the question then, which should we hold to be the more accurate? We can't legalistically prove either case, how could we? So we must decide on the basis of what evidence we do know. What do we know? Firstly, the large and very qualified team who worked on the KJV had access to a large number of manuscripts. The manuscripts upon which they based their translations were amazingly consistent. This is in the sense that any differences were minor, typically punctuation and spelling and such other minor things, and did not typically change the meaning or intent of what was written. In comparison the "newly found" manuscripts not only differ in inportant ways from theirs but also from one another. Also, apparently, they are relatively much fewer in number. Common sense would tend to suggest that the former are more reliable. Secondly, as raised in this video, we must look at the way the two translations approach the divinity of Jesus. When the NKJV seems to cut out Christ it seems clear to me that there is something wrong. Again I have to say the KJV must be more accurate. Keepin mind that such scholars are perhaps relying upon the liklihood that you don't know a lot about the manuscripts. Therefore, their stated case sounds reasonable. Until you know more about the background. Even first year law students could tell you that a half-truth and a silence constitutes a lie in the eyes of the law.

Good morning. English plurality terms change over time. You'll find that "cherubims" is found 65 times in the King James Bible. You'll also find that "seraphims" is found twice. Just because we no longer use the "s" doesn't mean there is an error. Another example we can look at is "fishes". Today we say "fish" for both singular and plural, but that wasn't always the case in the English language. "Fishes" is used 27 times throughout the King James Bible. Hope this helps!

There is no such thing as original manuscripts. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, etc. This goes back to the founding of Israel. When you read Leviticus, you'll find that the Levites were: Priests, detectives, real estate agents, judges, doctors, auditors, health inspectors, and more. There was not one manuscript that was passed along to millions of people - they were all copies. Over time, manuscripts deteriorate and more copies are made. Fast forward to Luke 4:14-21 where Jesus read from Isaiah and Acts 8:27-35 where the Ethiopian eunuch was carrying Isaiah with him. These were clearly not the same scripts nor were they the same scripts from 760 B.C. to 690 B.C. (the 70 period where Isaiah wrote his book see Is. 1:1). You also have to look at the "original manuscripts" you are citing. Are you speaking of the Masoretic Text (from Israel) and the Textus Receptus (from Antioch) or are you referring to the Septuagint/LXX (from Egypt) and the Vaticanus (from Rome). What you'll find is that the KJV is the ONLY Bible to come from the Masoretic and Textus Receptus and has ZERO contradictions. All other "Bibles" come from the Egyptian and Roman sources and are filled with a plethora of contradictions. "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." - Psalm 12:6-7 1) Masoretic Text (Hebrew) - 99% of the OT 2) Original Aramaic - 1% of the OT (parts of the book of Daniel) 3) Textus Receptus (Greek) - New Testament 4) Old Syriac 5) Old Latin 6) German 7) English The seven languages used to purify the words of the Lord. That list was obviously an extremely simplified history. The test to see which Bible is true is very simple. Look at Colossians 1:18 "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Which Bible gives Christ the preeminence? Is it the NIV that claims Satan and Jesus are the same person? Is it the 250 other versions that take away His title of Lord and remove His words? You must study these things. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15 I hope this helps :)

All they did was changed "that" to "the", removed a comma, removed "the", and removed "our". This is a wonderful example of the NKJV authors meeting the 25% legal textual changes requirement in order to consider their work original and charge money for it.

@@truthunchainedministries1564 Yes I understand the copyright laws and how that affects modern translations. My point was that a modern reader would find the diety of Christ much clearer in the NKJV rendering of Titus 2:13 than in the KJV rendering. The KJV makes it seem like the reference is to two different persons, 1 being the great God and 2 being our Savior Jesus Christ, due to the Granville Sharp rule not being known or understood by the majority of modern readers. The NKJV rendering is much more obvious that the reference is to one person, our savior Jesus Christ who is also our great God. The NKJV is my preferred translation, I was KJV-only for years, but since doing a lot of research on translation history, textual criticism, manuscript tradition, etc, I switched to the NKJV and it has been a huge blessing. Much more understandable than the KJV, and the Bible does say that “in all your getting, get understanding.”(Prov 4:7) The whole point of a translation is to convey the message of God to the reader, and my view is that as long as a translation is a formal equivalence type, then whichever translation belonging to that group that someone can best understand, that is the best translation for them. Many people cannot understand the 17th century form of English, so if they need an NKJV or even an NASB or ESV. Now personally, I’m still a TR guy, I like the concept of the CT, but the influence of Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus and Alexandrinus is what makes me choose the TR over the CT. If those three manuscripts did not influence the CT, it would be a different story. So for me, I’ve chosen the NKJV, a modern translation of what I believe to be the most reliable manuscripts. The NKJV improves on the KJV in a couple different ways, one key way being that they translate Hades as Hades, Tartarus as Tartarus, and Gehenna as hell. KJV translates them all as hell. Specifics matter. I love the KJV, but to truly understand the scriptures one must consult a variety of translations, just as the KJV translators themselves stated in the preface to the reader. Anyways, that’s my two cents opinion lol. Have a great day and God bless. 😊✝️

If I am not mistaken, the capitalization of "H" didn't begin until the early 1980s/late 1970s. It is a relatively new concept. I get that it is a matter of reverence for God and a simple way to distinguish the pronouns. Keep in mind that Hebrew does not have uppercase or lowercase letters (the OT) and the Greek Textus Receptus (NT) was written in all capital letters.

You have to be careful when using modern lexicons as they heavily rely upon the Septuagint. The Septuagint was a perverted Greek "translation" of the Hebrew texts and originated in Alexandria, Egypt. Remember that Satan's goal is to imitate and take God's place. Hence why he had modern "translators" give him Christ's name as "the morning star".

Written by someone in Israel setting forth the situation in Israel. You are correct in some parts of the world it is the south wind that brings rain. Where I live it is mostly the east and west winds. It varies across the Globe the UK for example it is a west wind coming across the Atlantic that brings rain. I will have to check your other comments about other verses. I fully agree with you we need to check our facts like the Bereans. May God bless you in your work David Wilson - Tasmania Australia

A lot of words are understandable like whosoever, its just words added together and when you read it outloud or in your head, it makes sense and all the Bibles has vocab you don't know, so you need to look it up! Just like how we still sing songs with old English and that we learn new jargon in work/school/sports, if we arne't rewritting shakespeare and can be willing to learn new words in work/school/play, we should also be okay with learning new words for the Bible!!

Well, I'm screwed, As a recently saved christian, I simply can't understand the archaic language in the KJV so I guess I'm not as smart as a 9 year old..Thought I was doing ok with the NKJV as I just bought a Cambbrige Clarion, But after watching this ,I littorally threw it in the trash, Now I'm lost without a bible to read because now I don't trust any translations other than KJV which I struggle with to the point of giving up.. ugh, now I feel truly lost.. 😞

You're hardly screwed :) The language of the KJV is not as archaic as you think. The most common issue people have are the thou/thee and ye's, but once you understand them, you'll find that the language is far superior to our modern English. Thou/thee is singular and ye is plural. I'll give you an example of how and why this is important: "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." - John 3:7 KJV "Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’" - John 3:7 NKJV In the KJV, Christ said "marvel not that I said unto thee (you - singular, Nicodemus), ye (everybody) must be born again." In the NKJV and modern translations, Christ said "marvel not that I said unto you (singular, Nicodemus), you (singular, Nicodemus) must be born again." Also, the language isn't as difficult to understand as people make it out to be. Look at Job 6:6 in the Revised Standard Version: "Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the slime of the purslane?". Apparently, "Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?" in the KJV was too difficult to understand lol Please do not give up. I was saved for roughly 20 years before I discovered the truth of the KJV and then it took me another few months to part with the other versions I had in my library. Eventually, I threw in the trash a few hundred dollars (at least) worth of "bibles". I'm happy to help in any way that I can and please do not hesitate to reach out!

The NKJV does use the Masoretic text as well as the Scrivener's Textus Receptus. Sure the OSB bible has a Septuagint OT as its text based, but thats pureply for orthodox christians, as they will always use a majority text type. Also if the Orthodox church can accept the NKJV for their liturgy then that means there is no vaticanus or alexandrian manuscripts.

What did kjv has heaven in genesis 1v1 where as NKJV and others have heavens in verse 1 it has shamayim which is a plural word then why did they keep heaven
@truthunchainedministries15643 ай бұрын
Because in Genesis 1:1 there was only one heaven that was created. If you'll go through Genesis 1, you'll find the other heavens created which is why 2:1 states "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." There are three heavens in the Bible: the sky, outer space, and where the Lord's throne is located. Please see the verses below as evidence. The first heaven is the sky and the Bible shows us this in multiple verses: "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;" - 2 Chronicles 7:13 "By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches." - Psalm 104:12 "Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." - Acts 14:17 "And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." - James 5:18 The second heaven is what we call outer space. We can find this heaven defined in the following verses: "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:14-18 "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine." - Isaiah 13:10 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:" - Matthew 24:29 "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind." - Revelation 6:13 The third heaven, what most people simply refer to as "Heaven", is where God dwells: "And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left." - 1 Kings 22:19 "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:" - Matthew 5:34 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." - John 3:13 I hope this helps!

@truthunchainedministries1564 Жыл бұрын
The Bible states in Revelation 13:16-17 that people will have to take his mark in their right hand or in their forehead in order to purchase the basic necessities of life. This is more than just a simple mark done for economic purposes. Those that take the mark of the beast are worshipping him and sealing their eternal fate (Rev. 14:9-11). There are many speculations involving emerging technology that explain why repentance is not possible for those that take the mark of the beast. Currently, medical doctors and scientists are developing microchips that emit pulses in order to change a person's mood and can alter a person's brain chemistry in a process called "deep brain stimulation". Researchers at DARPA, University of California, and Massachusetts General Hospital are looking for permanent ways to remove the need for medications which can have harmful side effects. On the surface this sounds amazing as it can essentially cure PTSD, various mood disorders, and even Parkinson's Disease as research suggests. Could it be that when a person takes the mark of the beast (which the Bible shows to be voluntary even if it is under duress), the reason that they cannot accept Christ is because their brain is permanently altered? That would explain why the Bible says "in".

Oh boy, as a new 62 year old lady, I’m so confused as to which Bible i should read now. I did not grow up in a Bible believing family. I bought the NKJV version and a CSB Bible recently. both in Super giant print lol so I can read the Bible. I have watched a few U tube videos about different Bibles and came to conclusion of the above. Now watching this video I’m really, really confused lol I have never read the Bible completely at all. I bought the above ones because they are much more simple to read and understand. I’m completely alone in this journey even though I have a husband who doesn’t believe. Or he says he doesn’t know what to believe. I have tried many, many times to show him but it is not working at all. He kind of gets annoyed with me. So I don’t know what to do.

Hi! Finding the right Bible is something that definitely takes a lot of studying, but it is well worth it. I was saved for twenty years before I realized the changes made to the 300+ versions and came to the conclusion that only the KJV is perfect. Regarding your husband (and lost people in general), take a look at Jude 22 and 23: "And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." Essentially, a person will either get saved because they are drawn to Christ because of what He did on the cross or they will accept Christ because they do not want to go to Hell. The latter is the reason I got saved. The most successful tactic I've used when witnessing is to ask a person if they would let complete strangers move into their house - that is what people are expecting of God because they want to go to Heaven while rejecting His Son (John 3:16-18). Questions like that really get a person to think. I hope this helps and I'm always available :)

I completely understand your frustration. Before I really started studying the history of the Bible, the KJV's history, and the changes made to the 250+ modern "versions", I had spent over $600 on various translations and commentaries. Even after knowing that the other "versions" were subtracting and changing God's words it took me a few months before I got rid of them. I struggled with throwing away $600+ dollars worth of materials. If I may, what I would recommend is to take this to the Lord in prayer and be honest with Him. Tell him about this struggle and help Him guide you on what to do.

It isn't idolatry at all. If you lived in the ancient world and you wanted to know what God said, you had to read Hebrew and that text came from Israel. Moving forward to Roman times when Greek was the primary language throughout the known world (thanks to Alexander the Great spreading Greek and then the Romans connecting the countries via roads), if you wanted to read the New Testament writings you had to know Greek. The Alexandrian manuscripts and LXX both came from Egypt (which is never a good place in the Bible) and were produced over 100 years AFTER the complete of the NT (which was finished around 90 AD). The Textus Receptus came from Antioch, which if you know your Bible, was where believers were first called Christians. The Masoratic Text and the Textus Receptus were both written in Jewish and Christian environments - all others came from pagan countries like Egypt (Alexandrian and LXX) and Rome (Codex Vaticanus). I highly recommend you study the entire history of the King James Bible. How it came about and the history of the English language, then study the perversions that came out due to the Wescott and Hort cult. If you are curious about the latter, I did make a video on that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/maicmMt6mprYc30.html
