The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 453
Mark 2:17 (KJV)
17
When Jesus heard it, he
saith unto them, They that are
whole have no need of the
physician, but they that are sick: I
came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.
NAB, NCV,
NIV, NRSV,
RSV, NLT,
NASB
Mark 2:17 (RSV)
17
And when Jesus heard it,
he said to them, “Those who are
well have no need of a physician,
but those who are sick; I came not
to call the righteous, but sinners.”
1463
In order to be saved we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only one who can save
us. The revisionists say we must just believe. From the rendering of the modern versions one
may assume that you may believe in anything. This is a popular belief today; can it be that this
change has had an impact?
John 6:47 (KJV)
47
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
NAB, NCV,
NIV, NRSV,
RSV, NASB
John 6:47 (NAB)
47
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
1464
If you believe in Jesus and obey him, it is easy to be saved! After the rich man was
unwilling to sell all he had, give it all to the poor and follow Jesus, Jesus told his disciples that it
was very hard for those who put there trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God. The text is a
warning to those who trust in wealth. The modern versions grossly distort this; they just say, “it
is hard to enter the kingdom of God”:
Mark 10:24 (KJV)
24
And the disciples were
astonished at his words. But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto
them, Children, how hard is it for
them that trust in riches to enter
into the kingdom of God!
NAB, NCV,
NIV,
NRSV,
RSV, NLT,
NASB
Mark 10:24 (NAB)
24
The disciples were amazed
at his words. So Jesus again said to
them in reply, “Children, how hard
it is to enter the kingdom of God!
1465
In the verse from Revelation blow, the modern versions have deleted the fact that the
Lord will be returning:
Rev. 11:17 (KJV)
17
Saying, We give thee
thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to
come; because thou hast taken to
thee thy great power, and hast
reigned.
NAB, NCV,
NIV,
NRSV,
RSV, NLT,
NASB
Rev. 11:17 (NASB)
17
saying, We give you
thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty,
who are and who were, because
You have taken Your great power
and have begun to reign.
