“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers” (Ephesians 4:29 KJV).
What is this “corrupt communication?”
In the 250 years that followed the translation of the 1611 King James Bible, the Church of England (Anglican Church) slipped into more and more apostasy via the efforts of the Jesuits (whose primary goal to this very day is to expand the Pope’s influence, reversing the Reformation by luring Protestants back to “Holy Mother Church!”). By the mid-19th century, unbelieving scholars had at last found a way to permanently undermine faith in the Authorized Version. Having access to two Roman Catholic Greek Bible manuscripts—Vaticanus and Sinaiticus—they began reviving and popularizing readings that Protestants had evaluated and rejected since the Reformation.
The result of Jesuit influence in England was the 1881 Revised Version, this work precipitating so much unbelief that the English-speaking world has been deluged with almost 200 modern English Bible versions these last 150 years. Now, the goal of these translation publi$her$ (bu$ine$$e$) is to make as much money as possible at the expense of the truth. Multiplied versions have greatly weakened the common voice of Christian believers. The authority is not in the Bible, we are told, but in the scholars’ opinions (which will change and thus result in another translation project and version with every passing year).
Dearly beloved, either we have an authoritative Bible, or we do not. Textual criticism says we do not; faith says we do. Scholars are always seeking to recover a lost Bible text (which originals they even profess not to have, so the process is never ending!); we should be believing the Bible text (King James in English) we already have. Either we believe all the Bible, or we believe none of it. Scholars want us to submit to them; God wants us to submit to Him. We could not care less what “Doctor So-and-So” or “Professor So-and-So” thinks God said; we know what God said, and we are ultimately accountable to Him, not people. Yea, they can call us “narrow-minded” and “old-fashioned,” but they cannot call us supporters or speakers of “corrupt communication….”
