The rise of "Giant" Bibles
Why do I reject modern bible versions? It is not just an intellectual preference. Below is a repost of what I have shared three years ago...
What is DNA?
Psalms 139:16 "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
In essence, our DNA contains a set of instructions for "building" a human being. These instructions are inscribed in the structure of the DNA molecule through a genetic code, similar to the programming code of a software, or the procedures written in a book i.e. "... in thy BOOK all my members were written". These are the genetic instructions that will determine how a person will grow up to be like, starting from a embryo, then to a foetus, born as a baby, and grow into adulthood i.e. "... which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them".
The DNA of a man is pure. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken away from it. Any attempt in doing so, it is no longer pure i.e. the man is no longer a man. A “giant” (Genesis 6:4) is not a man, even though he is part man. Goliath was a remnant of the giants. Bodily-wise, he was not like David or any other man. Surely, some of his genetic make-up came from man, but his human genes was not pure because it was mingled with the genes of fallen angelic beings. Likewise, any attempt in the corruption of the genes of a man, the same can be said about the corruption of the pure words of the Holy Bible, which is the DNA of the church.
The 66 Books of the Holy Bible is the DNA of the church, the genetic material where all the information for the very genetic code of the body of Christ are encoded within. The words inside the 66 Books of 1611 King James Bible (KJV) are NOT the same as the words inside 66 books of modern version bibles (NIV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NLT etc). Their genetic codes are different. Even though parts of these "giant" bibles have the words of the LORD, but just like Goliath whose genes was not pure, the words of the LORD in these "giant" bibles are mingled with the words of man so that it is no longer pure.
Therefore, the DNA of a church that is built upon the pure words of the LORD (KJV), and the DNA of another church that is built upon the corrupted "giant" bibles (NIV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NLT etc) are NOT the same. Different DNAs produce different bodies (1 Corinthians 15:37-40), even as different bibles will produce different churches. We cannot expect the same doctrines in the 1611 King James Bible and modern bible versions because their genetic codes are different.
History has shown that physical persecution of born again believers has not only failed to diminish pure Bible Christianity, but had in fact caused it to multiply and become stronger. Therefore, to completely uproot the real church is to implode it from within, first, by re-writing its DNA. The Devil knows that very well.
That's why throughout the history of Christianity, there has always been a subtle but consistent effort working to uproot the real Jesus Christ and replace him with the “man of sin” (2 Thessalonians 2:3). It all boils down to the battle pitting the true word of God - the 1611 King James Bible (KJV), against all these "giant" bibles translated based on the Rudolph Kittel Text and the Westcott and Hort Text designed to draw people away from the true Light of the World. The victory of the occult world over the church depends heavily upon their "giant" bibles (NIV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NLT, etc) in gaining an upper-hand over the real Bible (KJV). But of course, God always have the upper-hand, even though it may not appear to be so right now.
