Question #38 -
QUESTION:
The New King James Version is based on the Antiochian manuscripts.
Is it an improvement over the King James Bible?
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION: The New
King James Version is to the English Bible what the Alexandrian
manuscripts are to Greek. A corruption of a pure
text by men who hold the deplorable doctrine that the Bible cannot
be perfect (regardless of what they may say when
they preach) and must be corrected by the feeble intellect of man.
The New King James Version unlike most modem
translations is based on the correct Antiochian manuscripts
instead of the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts. Unfortunately, the
men doing the translation work view the Bible as imperfect. They
would vehemently deny this charge in public because their jobs
depend on it, but in fact they do not believe that ANY Bible is
perfect. Not even their own New King James Version!
Thus, to them, the Bible is lost ("settled" in heaven)
and the minds of scholars are the only hope of rescuing its
"thoughts" from oblivion.
Many of the men on the board of translator may
indeed be great preachers and pastors, but that by no means
entitles them to correct the Bible.
Sincerity cannot improve on perfection. Thus,
instead of making a good thing better" they have only
managed, for all of their trouble, to make a "perfect thing
tainted".
It must he remembered, there is a great deal of
prestige in sitting on the board of translators of a
"modern" version of the Bible (Matthew 23:5-7).
