“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.”
I believe that the King James Bible is the inspired Word of God without error!
Web visitors occasionally ask me what I think about Dr. Peter Ruckman (1926-2016). Respectfully, Pastor Ruckman errantly taught that Old Testament saints were saved by works, which is a lie. Pastor William P. Grady and other preachers today have been woefully misled by this Satanic heresy! If it weren't for the fact that Dr. Ruckman taught salvation by grace alone in the so-called “Church Age,” no one would have tolerated him as they did. Dr. Ruckman also taught that immediately following the Rapture of the saints, people will once again by saved by keeping God's Ten Commandments.[1]
Ruckman at times taught that abortion is okay.[2] He believed in aliens.[3] [4] He taught that people will be saved by keeping the Law again, immediately following the Rapture of the saints.[1] None of that is Biblical. Yet, Dr. Ruckman was a brilliant scholar concerning the Word of God, minus a few things. He believed that the King James Bible is superior to the ancient texts (Hebrew and Greek), which is ridiculous. I believe that the King James translators were NOT inspired (Dr. Ruckman does, called “Double Inspiration”), but they produced an inspired text in 1611 (the King James Bible), because they were already working with inspired texts to begin with. There was no new revelation from God in 1603-1611. There was no new inspiration in 1603-1611. The translators were working with many different texts. They rejected the Apocrypha, because they didn't recognize those writings as being inspired by God. The texts that they did recognize as inspired became commonly known as the Received Text, or Textus Receptus, upon which our beloved and inspired King James Bible has been translated. The translators did insert the Apocrypha between the Old and New Testament in their original release for its historical value only.
God's words NEVER lose their inspiration! Otherwise what good would be preservation? I mean, what good would it be to preserve God's inspired words—PURE WORDS—if those words lost their accuracy and inspiration? That one thought alone PROVES that our beloved King James Bible is in fact inspired. It must be! The blessed King James Bible is totally without error! I 100% agree with Pastor Steven Anderson, who defends the inspiration of the King James Bible.
We read repeatedly in the Scriptures that God's words are pure; not just “pure,” but “VERY PURE”! Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” I love the King James Bible because it obviously is God's VERY PURE words. The fact that some passages are difficult to understand is proof that it is God's Word (2nd Peter 3:16-17). If you have a Bible that is easy to understand, something is wrong! Why study to shew thyself approved (2nd Timothy 2:15), if it is easy to understand? Wicked men keep trying to water-down the Scriptures, so that even the unregenerate man can understand them, but that is not how it works (1st Corinthians 2:14-16). The King James Bible MUST be inspired, if it has truly been preserved, because the words of the Lord are “VERY PURE” words!!!!!!!
The foundational belief that facilitates the never-ending rash of “new” and “improved” Bible translations is the Satanic idea that ONLY THE ORIGINALS WERE INSPIRED by God. Tragically, nearly every so-called “Bible college” in existence today denies that the King James Bible is inspired, including Hyles-Anderson College since 2008. This woeful list of apostate Bible colleges includes Crown Bible College in Tennessee. It includes Evangelist Ron Comfort's Ambassador Bible College. It also includes Pensacola Christian College in Florida and their apostate interns. It also includes the Faith Bible College And Theological Seminary in Iowa. It should be called a “cemetery” instead of a “seminary” for preachers. Ladies and gentleman, the Devil is infiltrating and corrupting the churches, and he's doing it MOSTLY through the apostate Bible colleges!!! Beware of any so-called “Bible college” that denies the inspiration of the King James Bible!
I rejoiced this week to learn that the apostate Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Virginia closed its doors. Their church's membership has drastically declined. PRAISE GOD!!! I wish 340,000 of America's estimated 350,000 deadbeat churches would close their doors! It would be a blessing, instead of them all parasiting off the small handful of legitimate New Testament, soul-winning, people-loving, money-loathing, Christ-honoring, sin-hating, praying, contending for the Christian faith, real, churches!!! People are sick of the apostasy! Who cares? I care! God cares! God's men care! Godly women care! Do you care?
Listen dear reader, there is nothing in this universe more important than the inspired Word of God. To deny the inspiration of the King James Bible is to say that we don't have God's “VERY PURE” words today. Yet these fools go around saying that God kept His promise to preserve His words, but He did it in 900 English Bible versions. Only a fool talks that way! Have pastors lost their mind? Yes, they have! Jeremiah 10:21, “For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.” I didn't say it, God did! The word “brutish” means “lacking human sensibility”!
Does any sensible person think that almighty God wrote one book that has developed into 900 English translations? A Bob Jones University alumni would probably say, “Of course not!” But if you put their pastors on the spot (as I have done), and ask them which versions are good and which ones are bad, they don't know. They'll say something lame like, “Well, we prefer the King James Version.” The sad truth is that BJU's Bible department, and their graduates, sanction, sell, use and promote the Devil's corrupt Alexandrian perversions. So they are hypocrites, who serve mammon instead of God (Luke 16:13). Truth has few friends nowadays! Any sensible preacher or person (even among the secular world) understands that God didn't write hundreds of English versions! And for that matter, neither did God author TWO of them! So how can we have two or more different Bible versions, that disagree in thousands of places? So what is wrong with our nation's Bible colleges and churches today? Sadly, the apostate Bible colleges are destroying the churches! I praise God for doctrinally sound pastors and preachers (like Pastor Harry Ironside, 1876-1951) who HAVEN'T attended Bible college!
What good is preservation without inspiration? If God's promise in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His VERY PURE words (as silver tried in a furnace of earth seven times) unto every generation doesn't include giving us a VERY PURE Bible today, then why did He preserve it at all? THE TRUTH is that Satan (the evil god of this evil world) has deliberately published hundreds of versions, in an evil attempt to obscure the pure words of God, secularize the Holy Bible, and confuse the churches! Have you believed a lie?
