Corn in The King James Bible #3

Thursday, September 26, 2024

“At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat” (Matthew 12:1 KJV).

Is “corn” a “mistranslation” here, as is frequently assumed?

We believers will give account to God, the Lord Jesus, at the Judgment Seat of Christ. “…[F]or we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:10-12). “Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:9,10).

Christian friend, if at His Judgment Seat the Lord asked you why you believed what you believed and/or why you did what you did, what would be your answer? “My church, my preacher, my professor told me to believe this and do this?” If He inquired why you re-translated your Bible instead of re-reading it, how would you reply? “My church, my preacher, my professor told me the ‘oldest and best manuscripts’ were preferred?” These lame excuses pacify people on Earth today, yet the Lord will not be satisfied to hear them in Heaven.

As the Lord Jesus Christ inspects our soul, doctrine, and work; it will be far better for Him to recognize how we gave it everything we had to learn the truth from His Word rightly divided. We went through so much trouble to give His Bible the benefit of the doubt—despite what skeptics repeatedly told us as they griped about alleged “errors in translation.” The position of faith, trusting God, is always more desirable than trusting fallible men. Far better to believe the Bible than books about the Bible (commentaries, dictionaries, grammars, et cetera). Faith leads us to believe God’s inspired, preserved, infallible Book in English is the King James Bible. It has a lot to teach us about God’s plan for the ages (and our language), but are we too proud to be taught since we are sitting in God’s seat?
