  • 10 - KJB - The Main Reason to Reject the Modern Versions - David O'Steen

    Streamed live on Jun 9, 2021 The King James Bible6/6/21 - David O’Steen - https://www.hopebiblechurchga.com


    pastor, David O’Steen from Hope Bible Church, delivers a sermon titled "The Main Reason to Reject the Modern Versions (KJB 10)" arguing that modern Bible translations (e.g., NIV, ESV, NASB, NKJV) primarily undermine and attack the person, deity, and redemptive work of Jesus Christ.He stresses the inseparable connection between the incarnate Word (Jesus) and the written Word (Scripture): exalting one exalts the other, while attacking one attacks both. The Holy Spirit glorifies Christ, and all Scripture testifies of Him (citing John 5:39, 15:26).The core reason to reject modern versions, he claims, is their numerous alterations that diminish Christ's divinity and gospel truth—changes he attributes to satanic influence rather than divine inspiration. Examples include:

    • Calling Satan the "morning star" (Isaiah 14:12), blurring his title with Christ's (Revelation 22:16).
    • Weakening prophecies of Christ's deity (e.g., "God will provide himself a lamb" in Genesis 22:8 becomes less emphatic).
    • Altering "the Son of God" to "a son of the gods" (Daniel 3:25).
    • Removing "God was manifest in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16) or "by Jesus Christ" in creation (Ephesians 3:9).
    • Omitting key phrases like "through his blood" (Colossians 1:14), "Lord" in addresses to Jesus, or the Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7) on the Trinity.
    • Softening virgin birth implications or worship of Christ.

    He expresses deep grief and anger that Christians use versions that "attack their Savior," viewing them as corrupted mixtures of truth and error (like Satan's tactics in Genesis 3), driven by pride and profit. The King James Bible alone, he asserts, preserves pure words that fully glorify Christ's deity, virgin birth, sinless life, blood atonement, resurrection, and gospel.He urges sincere believers to reject modern versions on this basis alone, closing in prayer thanking God for the KJB's exalted portrayal of Christ.

    The pastor, David O’Steen from Hope Bible Church, delivers a sermon titled "KJB (9) - The Word of God" as part of a series defending the King James Bible (KJB).He argues that both Jesus Christ and the Scriptures are called the "Word of God," making them inseparably linked. Drawing from Hebrews 4:12, he describes the Word as living, powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing the heart and discerning thoughts—this applies equally to Christ (Revelation 19:13, where He is named the Word of God) and the Bible.The pastor highlights shared titles, attributes, and works: both are sinless/infallible, faithful and true, light-giving, life-quickening, soul-saving, judging, and sanctifying (citing verses like John 1:1-14, Psalm 119:105, James 1:21, and John 17:17). He stresses that the Scriptures testify of Christ (John 5:39), and God’s preserved Word in English is the KJB—pure, without error, and superior over 400 years.He rejects modern Bible versions, claiming they diminish Christ’s exaltation through textual changes, and accuses Satan of counterfeiting both Christ (Antichrist) and Scripture. Believers must trust the KJB as final authority, magnify it (Psalm 138:2), preach it, and let it nourish faith and spiritual life.The core message: Christ and His preserved Word are one—essential for knowing God, salvation, and righteous living.
