Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds

The economist J.K. Galbraith once wrote , “ Faced with a choice between changing one ’ s mind and proving there is no need to do so , almost everyone gets busy with the proof.
” Leo Tolstoy was even bolder : “ The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already ; but the simplest thing can not be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already , without a shadow of doubt , what is laid before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Why do n't facts change our minds ?
And why would someone continue to believe a false or inaccurate idea anyway ?
How do such behaviors serve us ?
Humans need a reasonably accurate view of the world in order to survive .
If your model of reality is wildly different from the actual world , then you struggle to take effective actions each day .
1 However , truth and accuracy are not the only things that matter to the human mind .
Humans also seem to have a deep desire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I wrote , “ Humans are herd animals .
We want to fit in , to bond with others , and to earn the respect and approval of our peers .
Such inclinations are essential to our survival .
For most of our evolutionary history , our ancestors lived in tribes .
Becoming separated from the tribe—or worse , being cast out—was a death sentence.
” Understanding the truth of a situation is important , but so is remaining part of a tribe .
While these two desires often work well together , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many circumstances , social connection is actually more helpful to your daily life than understanding the truth of a particular fact or idea .
The Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker put it this way , “ People are embraced or condemned according to their beliefs , so one function of the mind may be to hold beliefs that bring the belief-holder the greatest number of allies , protectors , or disciples , rather than beliefs that are most likely to be true.
” 2 We do n't always believe things because they are correct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make us look good to the people we care about .
I thought Kevin Simler put it well when he wrote , “ If a brain anticipates that it will be rewarded for adopting a particular belief , it 's perfectly happy to do so , and does n't much care where the reward comes from — whether it 's pragmatic ( better outcomes resulting from better decisions ) , social ( better treatment from one 's peers ) , or some mix of the two.
” 3 False beliefs can be useful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not useful in a factual sense .
For lack of a better phrase , we might call this approach “ factually false , but socially accurate.
” 4 When we have to choose between the two , people often select friends and family over facts .
This insight not only explains why we might hold our tongue at a dinner party or look the other way when our parents say something offensive , but also reveals a better way to change the minds of others .
Convincing someone to change their mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to change their tribe .
If they abandon their beliefs , they run the risk of losing social ties .
You can ’ t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too .
You have to give them somewhere to go .
Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome .
The way to change people ’ s minds is to become friends with them , to integrate them into your tribe , to bring them into your circle .
Now , they can change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abandoned socially .
The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us : “ Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them with impunity .
Prejudice and ethnic strife feed off abstraction .
However , the proximity required by a meal – something about handing dishes around , unfurling napkins at the same moment , even asking a stranger to pass the salt – disrupts our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or assaulted .
For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to salve ethnic conflict , there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.
” 5 Perhaps it is not difference , but distance that breeds tribalism and hostility .
As proximity increases , so does understanding .
I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln 's quote , “ I do n't like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him better.
” Years ago , Ben Casnocha mentioned an idea to me that I have n't been able to shake : The people who are most likely to change our minds are the ones we agree with on 98 percent of topics .
If someone you know , like , and trust believes a radical idea , you are more likely to give it merit , weight , or consideration .
You already agree with them in most areas of life .
Maybe you should change your mind on this one too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you proposes the same radical idea , well , it 's easy to dismiss them as a crackpot .
One way to visualize this distinction is by mapping beliefs on a spectrum .
If you divide this spectrum into 10 units and you find yourself at Position 7 , then there is little sense in trying to convince someone at Position 1 .
The gap is too wide .
When you 're at Position 7 , your time is better spent connecting with people who are at Positions 6 and 8 , gradually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most heated arguments often occur between people on opposite ends of the spectrum , but the most frequent learning occurs from people who are nearby .
The closer you are to someone , the more likely it becomes that the one or two beliefs you do n't share will bleed over into your own mind and shape your thinking .
The further away an idea is from your current position , the more likely you are to reject it outright .
When it comes to changing people 's minds , it is very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another .
You ca n't jump down the spectrum .
You have to slide down it .
Any idea that is sufficiently different from your current worldview will feel threatening .
And the best place to ponder a threatening idea is in a non-threatening environment .
As a result , books are often a better vehicle for transforming beliefs than conversations or debates .
In conversation , people have to carefully consider their status and appearance .
They want to save face and avoid looking stupid .
When confronted with an uncomfortable set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to double down on their current position rather than publicly admit to being wrong .
Books resolve this tension .
With a book , the conversation takes place inside someone 's head and without the risk of being judged by others .
It 's easier to be open-minded when you are n't feeling defensive .
Arguments are like a full frontal attack on a person 's identity .
Reading a book is like slipping the seed of an idea into a person 's brain and letting it grow on their own terms .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone 's head when they are overcoming a pre-existing belief .
They do n't need to wrestle with you too .
There is another reason bad ideas continue to live on , which is that people continue to talk about them .
Silence is death for any idea .
An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it .
Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated .
They can only be believed when they are repeated .
I have already pointed out that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the same social group .
But here 's a crucial point most people miss : People also repeat bad ideas when they complain about them .
Before you can criticize an idea , you have to reference that idea .
You end up repeating the ideas you ’ re hoping people will forget—but , of course , people can ’ t forget them because you keep talking about them .
The more you repeat a bad idea , the more likely people are to believe it .
6 Let 's call this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The number of people who believe an idea is directly proportional to the number of times it has been repeated during the last year—even if the idea is false .
7 Each time you attack a bad idea , you are feeding the very monster you are trying to destroy .
As one Twitter employee wrote , “ Every time you retweet or quote tweet someone you ’ re angry with , it helps them .
It disseminates their BS .
Hell for the ideas you deplore is silence .
Have the discipline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your time is better spent championing good ideas than tearing down bad ones .
Do n't waste time explaining why bad ideas are bad .
You are simply fanning the flame of ignorance and stupidity .
The best thing that can happen to a bad idea is that it is forgotten .
The best thing that can happen to a good idea is that it is shared .
It makes me think of Tyler Cowen 's quote , “ Spend as little time as possible talking about how other people are wrong.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ideas die of starvation .
I know what you might be thinking .
“ James , are you serious right now ?
I 'm just supposed to let these idiots get away with this ?
” Let me be clear .
I 'm not saying it 's never useful to point out an error or criticize a bad idea .
But you have to ask yourself , “ What is the goal ?
” Why do you want to criticize bad ideas in the first place ?
Presumably , you want to criticize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be better off if fewer people believed them .
In other words , you think the world would improve if people changed their minds on a few important topics .
If the goal is to actually change minds , then I do n't believe criticizing the other side is the best approach .
Most people argue to win , not to learn .
As Julia Galef so aptly puts it : people often act like soldiers rather than scouts .
Soldiers are on the intellectual attack , looking to defeat the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the operative emotion .
Scouts , meanwhile , are like intellectual explorers , slowly trying to map the terrain with others .
Curiosity is the driving force .
9 If you want people to adopt your beliefs , you need to act more like a scout and less like a soldier .
At the center of this approach is a question Tiago Forte poses beautifully , “ Are you willing to not win in order to keep the conversation going ?
” Be Kind First , Be Right Later The brilliant Japanese writer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remember that to argue , and win , is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against .
It is painful to lose your reality , so be kind , even if you are right.
” 10 When we are in the moment , we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side , collaborate with them , befriend them , and integrate them into our tribe .
We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting .
It 's easy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than working with them .
The word “ kind ” originated from the word “ kin.
” When you are kind to someone it means you are treating them like family .
This , I think , is a good method for actually changing someone 's mind .
Develop a friendship .
Share a meal .
Gift a book .
Be kind first , be right later .

The economist J.K. Galbraith once wrote, “Faced with a choice between changing one’s mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy with the proof.”
Leo Tolstoy was even bolder: “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.”
What’s going on here? Why don’t facts change our minds? And why would someone continue to believe a false or inaccurate idea anyway? How do such behaviors serve us?
The Logic of False Beliefs
Humans need a reasonably accurate view of the world in order to survive. If your model of reality is wildly different from the actual world, then you struggle to take effective actions each day. 1
However, truth and accuracy are not the only things that matter to the human mind. Humans also seem to have a deep desire to belong.
In Atomic Habits, I wrote, “Humans are herd animals. We want to fit in, to bond with others, and to earn the respect and approval of our peers. Such inclinations are essential to our survival. For most of our evolutionary history, our ancestors lived in tribes. Becoming separated from the tribe—or worse, being cast out—was a death sentence.”
Understanding the truth of a situation is important, but so is remaining part of a tribe. While these two desires often work well together, they occasionally come into conflict.
In many circumstances, social connection is actually more helpful to your daily life than understanding the truth of a particular fact or idea. The Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker put it this way, “People are embraced or condemned according to their beliefs, so one function of the mind may be to hold beliefs that bring the belief-holder the greatest number of allies, protectors, or disciples, rather than beliefs that are most likely to be true.” 2
We don’t always believe things because they are correct. Sometimes we believe things because they make us look good to the people we care about.
I thought Kevin Simler put it well when he wrote, “If a brain anticipates that it will be rewarded for adopting a particular belief, it’s perfectly happy to do so, and doesn’t much care where the reward comes from — whether it’s pragmatic (better outcomes resulting from better decisions), social (better treatment from one’s peers), or some mix of the two.” 3
False beliefs can be useful in a social sense even if they are not useful in a factual sense. For lack of a better phrase, we might call this approach “factually false, but socially accurate.” 4 When we have to choose between the two, people often select friends and family over facts.
This insight not only explains why we might hold our tongue at a dinner party or look the other way when our parents say something offensive, but also reveals a better way to change the minds of others.
Facts Don’t Change Our Minds. Friendship Does.
Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too. You have to give them somewhere to go. Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome.
The way to change people’s minds is to become friends with them, to integrate them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.
The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us:
“Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them with impunity. Prejudice and ethnic strife feed off abstraction. However, the proximity required by a meal – something about handing dishes around, unfurling napkins at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt – disrupts our ability to cling to the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or assaulted. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to salve ethnic conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.” 5
Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that breeds tribalism and hostility. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.”
Facts don’t change our minds. Friendship does.
The Spectrum of Beliefs
Years ago, Ben Casnocha mentioned an idea to me that I haven’t been able to shake: The people who are most likely to change our minds are the ones we agree with on 98 percent of topics.
If someone you know, like, and trust believes a radical idea, you are more likely to give it merit, weight, or consideration. You already agree with them in most areas of life. Maybe you should change your mind on this one too. But if someone wildly different than you proposes the same radical idea, well, it’s easy to dismiss them as a crackpot.
One way to visualize this distinction is by mapping beliefs on a spectrum. If you divide this spectrum into 10 units and you find yourself at Position 7, then there is little sense in trying to convince someone at Position 1. The gap is too wide. When you’re at Position 7, your time is better spent connecting with people who are at Positions 6 and 8, gradually pulling them in your direction.
The most heated arguments often occur between people on opposite ends of the spectrum, but the most frequent learning occurs from people who are nearby. The closer you are to someone, the more likely it becomes that the one or two beliefs you don’t share will bleed over into your own mind and shape your thinking. The further away an idea is from your current position, the more likely you are to reject it outright.
When it comes to changing people’s minds, it is very difficult to jump from one side to another. You can’t jump down the spectrum. You have to slide down it.
Any idea that is sufficiently different from your current worldview will feel threatening. And the best place to ponder a threatening idea is in a non-threatening environment. As a result, books are often a better vehicle for transforming beliefs than conversations or debates.
In conversation, people have to carefully consider their status and appearance. They want to save face and avoid looking stupid. When confronted with an uncomfortable set of facts, the tendency is often to double down on their current position rather than publicly admit to being wrong.
Books resolve this tension. With a book, the conversation takes place inside someone’s head and without the risk of being judged by others. It’s easier to be open-minded when you aren’t feeling defensive.
Arguments are like a full frontal attack on a person’s identity. Reading a book is like slipping the seed of an idea into a person’s brain and letting it grow on their own terms. There’s enough wrestling going on in someone’s head when they are overcoming a pre-existing belief. They don’t need to wrestle with you too.
Why False Ideas Persist
There is another reason bad ideas continue to live on, which is that people continue to talk about them.
Silence is death for any idea. An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it. Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated. They can only be believed when they are repeated.
I have already pointed out that people repeat ideas to signal they are part of the same social group. But here’s a crucial point most people miss:
People also repeat bad ideas when they complain about them. Before you can criticize an idea, you have to reference that idea. You end up repeating the ideas you’re hoping people will forget—but, of course, people can’t forget them because you keep talking about them. The more you repeat a bad idea, the more likely people are to believe it. 6
Let’s call this phenomenon Clear’s Law of Recurrence: The number of people who believe an idea is directly proportional to the number of times it has been repeated during the last year—even if the idea is false. 7
Each time you attack a bad idea, you are feeding the very monster you are trying to destroy. As one Twitter employee wrote, “Every time you retweet or quote tweet someone you’re angry with, it helps them. It disseminates their BS. Hell for the ideas you deplore is silence. Have the discipline to give it to them.” 8
Your time is better spent championing good ideas than tearing down bad ones. Don’t waste time explaining why bad ideas are bad. You are simply fanning the flame of ignorance and stupidity.
The best thing that can happen to a bad idea is that it is forgotten. The best thing that can happen to a good idea is that it is shared. It makes me think of Tyler Cowen’s quote, “Spend as little time as possible talking about how other people are wrong.”
Feed the good ideas and let bad ideas die of starvation.
The Intellectual Soldier
I know what you might be thinking. “James, are you serious right now? I’m just supposed to let these idiots get away with this?”
Let me be clear. I’m not saying it’s never useful to point out an error or criticize a bad idea. But you have to ask yourself, “What is the goal?”
Why do you want to criticize bad ideas in the first place? Presumably, you want to criticize bad ideas because you think the world would be better off if fewer people believed them. In other words, you think the world would improve if people changed their minds on a few important topics.

Be Kind First, Be Right Later
The brilliant Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”10
When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, collaborate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. It’s easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.
The word “kind” originated from the word “kin.” When you are kind to someone it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someone’s mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book.
Be kind first, be right later. 11

jesusissavior--2020-04-17--Correcting The King James Bible???

Correcting The King James Bible???

A young Christian believer while talking to a Baptist preacher expressed his doubts as to whether a certain verse should be in the Bible .
This question in the young believer 's mind is not an isolated occurrence since the authorized King James Bible is being attacked daily by Roman Catholics , Jehovah Witnesses , Mor- mons , Modernists , Evangelicals and Fundamentalists .
In fact , it is almost a daily occurrence in most Evangelical and Fundamental schools in America .
The average Christian is given a King James Bible and told it is the Word of God .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ stream of criticism of it through the radio , Christian books , magazines , in church and in Christian schools .
Anyone professing to have an ounce of education and who claims to be Godly and dedicated now assumes the right to correct the Bible any time it does n't measure up to his beliefs and standards .
The King James Bible is corrected by saying 'the Original says ' when no one has the Original .
It is also corrected by saying 'the Greek says ' when there are a dozen conflicting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say 'this is an unfortunate translation ' or ' a better reading ' is ' when they do n't know enough about Greek or manuscript evidence to know what they are talking about .
Before a Christian starts to think or talk like a Jehovah Witness on visitation he ought to consider the following facts .
The preacher or teacher who professes to believe the Bible and then corrects it has just taught his students that the Bible has errors in it and can not be trusted .
If it can not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where can it be trusted ?
Where does the Christian go to find truth since no one has the originals and there are a dozen Greek texts on the market ?
A preacher or teacher should build faith in God 's Word , not destroy it .
CORRECTING THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE CAUSES CONFUSION IN THE MINDS OF BELIEVERS The preacher or teacher who corrects the authorized Bible causes the sincere Christian to wonder when he reads the Bible if he is reading the truth or not .
The Christian may wonder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he can find it .
This will dampen his zeal of Bible study .
Correctors of the King James Bible usually do this on the basis of the Greek texts of Westcott and Hort , Aland and Metzgar or Nestles , which are taken from manuscripts officially approved by the Roman Catholic Church .
These Roman Catholic Greek texts come from revisions of the Koina ( common Greek texts ) into the classical Greek texts by the apostate Alexandrian school in the 3rd and 4th century .
The apostate revisors of the Bible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hyschius Origen , Pamphilius and Eusebius .
When Pope Damasius , the first Pope to take the heathen title Supreme Pontiff , was installed in 380 he commissioned Jerome to revise the Old Latin with these corrupt Alexandrian Egyptian texts .
The revision by Jerome is called the Latin Vulgate and has been the official Roman Catholic Bible ever since Catholic trans-lations are taken from this corrupt Bible in 1475 a corrupt classical Greek Alexandrian manuscript was found in the Popes ' library .
It was called CODEZ ( book ) B VALICANUS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Sixtine Edition which used the VATICANUS as its source in order to defeat the Bibles the Protestants and Baptists used which came from the Koina ( common ) Greek used by the Apostles .
In the 19th century a Catholic movement in the Anglican Church resulted in an English Greek put out by two English Anglican Catholics who believed in Mary Worship , named Westcott and Hort .
Their text was based primarily on the corrupt VATI- CANUS manuscript which has readings found in no other manuscript in the world .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of the New Testament after Hebrews 9:14 .
It also has hundreds of changes affecting vital doctrines of the Christian Faith .
These doctrinal changes can be seen in modern versions such as the ASV , NASV , New World , R.S.V .
and N.I.V .
Some of the changes made in modern versions are found in Colossians 1:14 omitting the blood of Christ , Luke 2:33 attacking the Virgin birth , I Timothy 3:16 attacking the deity of Christ , John 1:18 attacking the belief in one God and I Peter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Protestant leaders were great scholars and con- sciously rejected the corrupt Alexandrian texts for the Koina ( common ) Greek text .
All the preachers of the Protestants and Baptists such as Luther , Zwingle , Calvin , Bunyon , Wesley , Spur- geon , Norris , Riley , Sunday , Vick , Bob Jones , Sr. , used the Bible originating from the received Greek text which the KJV is based upon .
THE CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE CAUSE DIVISION AMONG BELIEVERS If a preacher preached the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it the next it would cause division among the people .
Bible believing Christians will not tolerate people who correct the Bible or promote Catholic versions , which attack basic doctrines of the Scripture .
People who put scholarship above the Bible will not tolerate Bible believers .
The use of two different Bibles will divide Fundamentalists like noth- ing else will .
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE TAKE THE SAME POSITION AS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST The Catholic Priest sets himself up as an authority over the Bible and encourages the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Book .
The teacher or preacher who corrects the Bible sets himself up as the authority for people to listen to rather than the Bible just like a priest .
No wonder Bible reading is done by so few .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE DEMONSTRATE THEY ARE APOSTATE Apostasy is professing to believe something which they no longer believe .
The Apostate pro- fesses to believe The Bible is ( present tense ) the Word of God without error , while in reality he believes the Bible was the Word of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Apostate has is the words of the translators with errors in them .
The Apostate , while professing he has the word of God , does not believe he has the genuine Words of God and severely criticizes anybody who does .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE REJECT THE WISDOM OF GOD The Protestant reformation , all the great revivals and all the men God has chosen to use greatly since 1516 preached the Bible which comes from the textus receptus .
There are not enough conversions to keep the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advertising stops .
The correctors of the God authorized Bible , in effect , say the Holy Spirit does not know what He is doing when He chooses to bless this book .
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE REJECT THE VERBAL INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE If the authorized Bible is scripture it is inspired of God .
`` All scripture is given by inspiration of God . ''
( II Timothy 3:16 ) The doctrine that only the originals are inspired is heresy taught no where in the New Testament or in creeds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20th century .
Timothy had the scripture and he certainly did n't have the originals ( II Timothy 3:15 ) .
`` All scripture is given by inspiration of God . ''
( II Timothy 3:16 ) Verbal inspiration is one of the key doctrines of the Bible and is mentioned hundreds of times in the scripture .
Jesus and the Apostles always appealed to scriptures they had in their hands , not to something they did not have .
Christ never corrected the Bible .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE ARE NEORTHODOX @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brunner teach that the Word of God means the message of God rather than the Words of God .
Many teachers who correct the authorized Bible believe that we do not have the literal Words of God in the English , but simply a message from God and that they have a right to correct the Words God has given us .
In John 14:23 Jesus said , `` If a man love me , he will keep my WORDS ; and my Father will love him , and we will come unto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
How can a Christian keep God 's Words if he does n't have them ?
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE GENERALLY RECOMMEND DOCTRINALLY CORRUPT VERSIONS SUCH AS THE ASV 1901 , NIV AND NASV TAKEN FROM PHOTOGRAPHS THE POPE GAVE THE WORLD IN 1889 OF HIS VATICAN BIBLE The A.S.V .
Of 1901 has a footnote in John , chapter 9 , put there by its translators that the worship given to Jesus by the blind man is the worship given to the creature and not to the Creator .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ teaching to the New Word Bible of the Jehovah Witnesses , and teaches that Jesus was a begotten God , John 1:18 .
This was the official teaching of the Arian heresy .
The A.S.V.
, R.S.V.
, N.A.S.V.
, N.I.V.
, based on texts recom- mended by Westcott and Hort generally leave out the name of Jesus over fifty times .
It would take a book to list all of the doctrinal and blasphemous attacks on the person and work of Christ in these counterfeits .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE HAVE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ original no one has or can have .
They believe , like Einstein 's theory of relativity , that everything is relative and that there is no absolute truth on this earth which a man can get his hands on .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE ARE MODERNISTIC IN THEIR APPROACH TO BIBLICAL AUTHORITY The modernist believes that he himself is the final authority in faith and morals rather than God .
To correct the Bible or recommend conflicting bibles puts the professor , school teacher , writer , preacher , or individual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ text says .
Satan introduced a conflicting authority to Eve so she would exalt herself as the final authority .
God is the only final authority and when man usurps his place he is following a blasphemous and satanic system .
The Bible is to sit in judgment on man and not man on the Bible .
God never intended for each man to produce his own bible .
That is why He gave us a Bible .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE PUT CHRISTIAN SCHOLARSHIP ABOVE THE GOD AUTHORIZED BIBLE Many colleges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the absolute authority of the scriptures .
They say the Bible is the infallible inerrant Word of God .
If they were asked to produce any Bible in the World which is the final authority they could not do it to save their life .
While professing to believe the Bible many schools including Evangelical and Fundamental , have accepted Christian education as the final authority and believe it has the right to sit in judgment on any Bible ; Hebrew , Greek or English .
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE DENY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WORDS FOR ALL TIME The following verses teach that God would preserve His Words : CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE DENY GOD HAS GIVEN HIS PEOPLE HIS WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXCTLY AS HE WANTED THEM GIVEN The Lord Jesus Christ teaches otherwise : `` Verity , verily , I say unto you , He that heareth my word , and believeth on him that sent me , hath everlasting life , and shall not come into condemnation ; but is passed from death unto life . ''
( John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by hearing and hearing by the word of God . ''
( Romans 10:17 ) '' I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were , and thou gavest them me ; and they kept thy word .
Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou has given me are of thee .
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me ; and they received them , and have known surely that I came out from thee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didst send me . ''
( John 17:6-8 ) Return to Where Is God 's Word ?

A young Christian believer while talking to a Baptist preacher expressed his doubts as to whether a certain verse should be in the Bible. This question in the young believer's mind is not an isolated occurrence since the authorized King James Bible is being attacked daily by Roman Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, Mor- mons, Modernists, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists.
In fact, it is almost a daily occurrence in most Evangelical and Fundamental schools in America.
The average Christian is given a King James Bible and told it is the Word of God. From then on he hears a steady stream of criticism of it through the radio, Christian books, magazines, in church and in Christian schools.
Anyone professing to have an ounce of education and who claims to be Godly and dedicated now assumes the right to correct the Bible any time it doesn't measure up to his beliefs and standards.
The King James Bible is corrected by saying 'the Original says' when no one has the Original. It is also corrected by saying 'the Greek says' when there are a dozen conflicting Greek texts on the market. Others say 'this is an unfortunate translation' or 'a better reading' is' when they don't know enough about Greek or manuscript evidence to know what they are talking about.
Before a Christian starts to think or talk like a Jehovah Witness on visitation he ought to consider the following facts.
CORRECTING THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE TEACHES INFIDELITY
The preacher or teacher who professes to believe the Bible and then corrects it has just taught his students that the Bible has errors in it and cannot be trusted. If it cannot be trusted in one or two places, where can it be trusted? Where does the Christian go to find truth since no one has the originals and there are a dozen Greek texts on the market? A preacher or teacher should build faith in God's Word, not destroy it.
CORRECTING THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE CAUSES CONFUSION IN THE MINDS OF BELIEVERS
The preacher or teacher who corrects the authorized Bible causes the sincere Christian to wonder when he reads the Bible if he is reading the truth or not.
The Christian may wonder what the truth really is and where he can find it. This will dampen his zeal of Bible study.
CORRECTING THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE REINSTATES THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BIBLE
Correctors of the King James Bible usually do this on the basis of the Greek texts of Westcott and Hort, Aland and Metzgar or Nestles, which are taken from manuscripts officially approved by the Roman Catholic Church.
These Roman Catholic Greek texts come from revisions of the Koina (common Greek texts) into the classical Greek texts by the apostate Alexandrian school in the 3rd and 4th century. The apostate revisors of the Bible who mixed it with heathen philosophy were Hyschius Origen, Pamphilius and Eusebius.
When Pope Damasius, the first Pope to take the heathen title Supreme Pontiff, was installed in 380 he commissioned Jerome to revise the Old Latin with these corrupt Alexandrian Egyptian texts.
The revision by Jerome is called the Latin Vulgate and has been the official Roman Catholic Bible ever since Catholic trans-lations are taken from this corrupt Bible in 1475 a corrupt classical Greek Alexandrian manuscript was found in the Popes' library. It was called CODEZ (book) B VALICANUS.
In 1587 the Pope put out the Sixtine Edition which used the VATICANUS as its source in order to defeat the Bibles the Protestants and Baptists used which came from the Koina (common) Greek used by the Apostles. In the 19th century a Catholic movement in the Anglican Church resulted in an English Greek put out by two English Anglican Catholics who believed in Mary Worship, named Westcott and Hort. Their text was based primarily on the corrupt VATI- CANUS manuscript which has readings found in no other manuscript in the world.
The VATICANUS leaves out most of Genesis and all of the New Testament after Hebrews 9:14. It also has hundreds of changes affecting vital doctrines of the Christian Faith.
These doctrinal changes can be seen in modern versions such as the ASV, NASV, New World, R.S.V. and N.I.V. Some of the changes made in modern versions are found in Colossians 1:14 omitting the blood of Christ, Luke 2:33 attacking the Virgin birth, I Timothy 3:16 attacking the deity of Christ, John 1:18 attacking the belief in one God and I Peter 2:2 attacking salvation by Grace.
ATTACKING THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE REPUDIATES THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION
Many of the Protestant leaders were great scholars and con- sciously rejected the corrupt Alexandrian texts for the Koina (common) Greek text. All the preachers of the Protestants and Baptists such as Luther, Zwingle, Calvin, Bunyon, Wesley, Spur- geon, Norris, Riley, Sunday, Vick, Bob Jones, Sr., used the Bible originating from the received Greek text which the KJV is based upon.
THE CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE CAUSE DIVISION AMONG BELIEVERS
If a preacher preached the Deity of Christ one Sunday and denied it the next it would cause division among the people. Bible believing Christians will not tolerate people who correct the Bible or promote Catholic versions, which attack basic doctrines of the Scripture. People who put scholarship above the Bible will not tolerate Bible believers. The use of two different Bibles will divide Fundamentalists like noth- ing else will.
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE TAKE THE SAME POSITION AS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST
The Catholic Priest sets himself up as an authority over the Bible and encourages the people to listen to him rather than the Book. The teacher or preacher who corrects the Bible sets himself up as the authority for people to listen to rather than the Bible just like a priest. No wonder Bible reading is done by so few.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE DEMONSTRATE THEY ARE APOSTATE
Apostasy is professing to believe something which they no longer believe. The Apostate pro- fesses to believe The Bible is (present tense) the Word of God without error, while in reality he believes the Bible was the Word of God in the Originals.
Today all the Apostate has is the words of the translators with errors in them. The Apostate, while professing he has the word of God, does not believe he has the genuine Words of God and severely criticizes anybody who does.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE REJECT THE WISDOM OF GOD
The Protestant reformation, all the great revivals and all the men God has chosen to use greatly since 1516 preached the Bible which comes from the textus receptus. There are not enough conversions to keep the modern versions on the market after the advertising stops. The correctors of the God authorized Bible, in effect, say the Holy Spirit does not know what He is doing when He chooses to bless this book.
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE REJECT THE VERBAL INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE
If the authorized Bible is scripture it is inspired of God. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." (II Timothy 3:16) The doctrine that only the originals are inspired is heresy taught no where in the New Testament or in creeds of confessions of any denomination before the 20th century. Timothy had the scripture and he certainly didn't have the originals (II Timothy 3:15). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." (II Timothy 3:16)
Verbal inspiration is one of the key doctrines of the Bible and is mentioned hundreds of times in the scripture. Jesus and the Apostles always appealed to scriptures they had in their hands, not to something they did not have. Christ never corrected the Bible.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE ARE NEORTHODOX IN PRACTICE
Neorthodox teachers like Barth and Brunner teach that the Word of God means the message of God rather than the Words of God.
Many teachers who correct the authorized Bible believe that we do not have the literal Words of God in the English, but simply a message from God and that they have a right to correct the Words God has given us.
In John 14:23 Jesus said, "If a man love me, he will keep my WORDS; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him." How can a Christian keep God's Words if he doesn't have them?
CORRECTORS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE GENERALLY RECOMMEND DOCTRINALLY CORRUPT VERSIONS SUCH AS THE ASV 1901, NIV AND NASV TAKEN FROM PHOTOGRAPHS THE POPE GAVE THE WORLD IN 1889 OF HIS VATICAN BIBLE
The A.S.V. Of 1901 has a footnote in John, chapter 9, put there by its translators that the worship given to Jesus by the blind man is the worship given to the creature and not to the Creator.
The N.A.S.V. Is practically identical in teaching to the New Word Bible of the Jehovah Witnesses, and teaches that Jesus was a begotten God, John 1:18. This was the official teaching of the Arian heresy.
The A.S.V., R.S.V., N.A.S.V., N.I.V., based on texts recom- mended by Westcott and Hort generally leave out the name of Jesus over fifty times. It would take a book to list all of the doctrinal and blasphemous attacks on the person and work of Christ in these counterfeits.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE HAVE NO FINAL AUTHORITY
They appeal to the original no one has or can have. They believe, like Einstein's theory of relativity, that everything is relative and that there is no absolute truth on this earth which a man can get his hands on.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE ARE MODERNISTIC IN THEIR APPROACH TO BIBLICAL AUTHORITY
The modernist believes that he himself is the final authority in faith and morals rather than God. To correct the Bible or recommend conflicting bibles puts the professor, school teacher, writer, preacher, or individual as the final authority on what the text says.
Satan introduced a conflicting authority to Eve so she would exalt herself as the final authority. God is the only final authority and when man usurps his place he is following a blasphemous and satanic system. The Bible is to sit in judgment on man and not man on the Bible. God never intended for each man to produce his own bible. That is why He gave us a Bible.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE PUT CHRISTIAN SCHOLARSHIP ABOVE THE GOD AUTHORIZED BIBLE
Many colleges and Bible schools loudly profess to stand for the absolute authority of the scriptures. They say the Bible is the infallible inerrant Word of God. If they were asked to produce any Bible in the World which is the final authority they could not do it to save their life. While professing to believe the Bible many schools including Evangelical and Fundamental, have accepted Christian education as the final authority and believe it has the right to sit in judgment on any Bible; Hebrew, Greek or English.
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE DENY IN REALITY THAT GOD HAS PRESERVED HIS WORDS FOR ALL TIME
The following verses teach that God would preserve His Words:
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." (I Peter 1:23) "But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."(I Peter 1:25) "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) "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever." (Psalm 119:160) "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Matthew 24:35) "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:16) "As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever." (Isaiah 59:21)
CORRECTORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE DENY GOD HAS GIVEN HIS PEOPLE HIS WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXCTLY AS HE WANTED THEM GIVEN
The Lord Jesus Christ teaches otherwise: "Verity, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)
"So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)
"I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou has given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me." (John 17:6-8)
