KJB:The Greatest Book

   For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

   By the greatest book, we mean a book that has outsold more than two
times as many copies as any four books combined. So, when we talk about
the greatest book ever printed upon this earth, we're not talking about
some work by Mao Tse Tung, or Karl Marx, or Einstein; or anything in
the Harvard five-foot shelf of so-called classics. The greatest book
ever printed on this earth by all odds, bar none, has been the King
James 1611 Authorized Version Holy Bible!

   This amazing book of 1611 has gone into over 927,200,000 copies.
With about 60,000 books written about it's text; It has been translated
into over 800 languages. This book has been printed at a rate of as
much as 8 million copies per year.

   So then This Holy Bible is by far the most outstanding book the
world has ever seen. The combination of the so-called Living Bible, and
the New ASV, and the ASV and the NIV, combined cannot total half the
sales for the King James 1611 Authorized Version. And in 1611 this
amazing book was put out, that outsold and out-distributed more than 10
times as many copies as any two books combined.

   As a matter of fact, the so-called modern translations, which have
behind them the high-powered sales pitch, of the madison avenue
promotional type of gimmick, and FALSE advertising, have not yet been
able to put out one-fourth as many bibles as this amazing book of 1611.

   This Holy Book is far superior to the original manuscripts for a
number of reasons. This Authoritative Bible is written in English and
the universal language of the world *IS* ENGLISH, not Greek, therefore
it's far superior to the original manuscripts, that are written in a
language that is a dead language today. And less that one-fiftieth of
the people in the world speak it.

   Another reason why God's Bible is far superior to the original
manuscripts, is because the Author's Version constitutes a book, and
the original manuscripts do not. You'll hear a lot of talk today about
the original manuscripts and the original autographs, by men who don't
realize the original autographs, or original manuscripts didn't make a
book. They weren't collected into a book until years after they were
written.

   The Holy Bible is far superior to the original manuscripts, because
it is AVAILABLE and the so-called original manuscripts are not.

   The surest proof that this Book of the LORD of Lords is far superior
to any God-breathed originals, is the fact that this book has been
responsible for the conversion of as much as 10 times as many people as
the originals; And possible as many as 200 times as many.

   The church that kept God's word is in Revelation chapter 3 verse 8,
the Philadelphia church period, which is the church of the Reformation,
And this reformation church with the reformation text was responsible
for the salvation of all the converts of Patton in the New Hebrides,
Hudson Taylor in China, Adoniram Judson in Burma, Cary in India, Martin
in Persia, David Livingston and Moffet in Africa, plus all the converts
converted in England under John Wesley, and George Whitfield, and
Guthrey, and Rutherford, and Spurgeon, and all the converts converted
in America in the great awakening, the 2nd great awakening, the
cumberland valley revival, and all the converts of Charles G. Finney,
Torrey, Moody, Sunday, Norris, and the rest of them...

   So as we can see by historical fact and documented evidence, the
King James Bible is far superior to any so-called verbally inspired
originals which nobody has and nobody has ever seen, and if they had
them and they saw them they probably couldn't understand them anyway.
We often fail to see that understanding the Bible doesn't depend on
scholarship, but on a believing mind and humble heart.

   This BOOK of Books has many critics in America today, and foremost
among these of course are the apostate fundamentalists, and apostate
conservatives who profess to believe in the fundamentals of the faith.

   These men put out various 'bibles' from time to time, and there may
be certain things that may be said about these translators and these
revisors, which are absolutely certain and can be proved in court:

   1. ALL REVISERS OF MODERN 'BIBLES' IGNORE HISTORY. There hasn't been
one new bible put out, that's been put out by anyone who knew anything
about church history. After all, anyone who knows church history, knows
perfectly well, that the Alexandrian manuscripts from Africa, used for
the new bibles, (any of them), came from a place where there wasn't one
original autograph of any new testament book written. The majority of
autographs are found in Syria and Asia Minor.

   2. THE 'NEW' BIBLE TRANSLATORS REFUSE TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN
GRAMMATICAL RULES IN TRANSLATING. The apostate fundamentalists in
Christian Schools claim that the King James Version fails to translate
the tense of the verb correctly, but none of the 'new' translations are
able to translate the verb tense correctly according to their rules.

   3. THESE MODERN BIBLE PERVERTORS INSIST ON A MYTHOLOGICAL B.C. LXX,
WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY KIND. There's no manuscript evidence that there
was any greek old testament around before the time of Origen, 150 A.D.
As a matter of fact, out of something like 1600 greek manuscripts,
there are not five of them written before the time of Christ dealing
with the old testament.

   4. THE MODERN REVISERS REFUSE TO EXAMINE THE FRUIT OF THE AUTHORIZED
1611 VERSION. More souls have been saved and more missionary work
accomplished through the preaching and the teaching of the King James
Authorized Version, than any other three 'bibles' combined. The history
of England, Germany, and the United States is the history of material
blessing as long as the Reformation text was honoured. And disaster has
followed where it was abandoned.

   5. THE NEW REVISERS CONTINUALLY LIE ABOUT THE EARLY AND LATE
MANUSCRIPTS. There is hardly a book you can pick up these days, written
by an apostate fundamentalist at a Christian School, that will not
deliberately lie about oldest and best manuscripts, early and late
manuscripts. They will tell you Erasmus only had late manuscripts as
his resources for constructing the Receptus, which ignores the fact
that number one, The King James Bible is not from Erasmus' Greek Textus
Receptus, it is from an eclectic text that includes Erasus, Stephanus,
and Bezea, plus the old latin text of the Waldensians and Albigensians.

   6. THE MODERN REVISERS OF THESE SO-CALLED NEW TRANSLATIONS WILL
CONTINUALLY LIE ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GREEK. That is, when a man begins to
correct the King James Bible, he will say 'The original Greek text
says...'; he's a liar, he doesn't have it. Or he says 'THE greek text
says...'; He's a liar. There isn't any such thing.

   Now all this is very upsetting and disturbing to the sucker who has
wasted 20,000 dollars on a college education. It gets him very upset to
learn that he's blown his money down a rat-hole, especially at a
'christian' school. But the terrible fact remains that there is no such
thing as 'THE' greek text, for there are about 24 greek texts.
Therefore when a man says 'THE greek text says', he's lying to start
with and knows he's lying when he says it.

   7. AND THEN THERE'S THE CONTINUAL LYING GOING ON ABOUT KING JAMES.
You'll hear King James low-rated as one of the worst characters who
ever lived, but the fact of the matter is he knew as much about Greek
and Hebrew for his day as any king anywhere in Europe or off the
continent. And the truth is, that although he may have been a conceited
fellow, he wasn't as conceited as his contemporaries who called
themselves 'holy father'. It's very un-befitting and very un-becoming
for someone to talk about King James' arrogancy and his conceitedness,
by somebody who is espousing a man and following a man who lets people
kiss his finger and kiss his ring and call him by the title reserved
for GOD the Father in John 17.

   8. THE MODERN TRANSLATERS WILL APPLY THE WORD 'RELIABLE' TO
TRANSLATIONS THAT ARE NOT THE LEAST BIT RELIABLE. They will refuse to
translate their own manuscripts. There wasn't anyone who was on the
translating committees of the ASV or the new ASV or the NIV that dared
translate the manuscripts they used. The two main manuscripts they used
were the ones called Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, and these manuscripts
not only contain old testament Apocrypha, but new testament Apocrypha.
1st and 2nd Clement, the shepherd of Hermes and the epistle to
Barnabas. So these inconsistent two-faced double-tongued hypocrites
will make you think they are translating "THE" greek text, when part of
the greek text they used, they didn't dare translate.

   This is one reason that no matter how many new bibles come out, they
can never attain the stature and the majesty and circulation of the
King James 1611 Authorized Version.

   Charity rejoices in truth, not falsehood. And some of you people
that talk about 'love' so much, are guilty of the worst hate that you
could possibly be guilty of, many of you people that talk about love
would condemn this kind of a talk about the King James Bible, and you
have the most viscious hate known to God or man against the Bible
itself. And you would justify your friends and your teachers before you
would justify the word of God, because your 'love' doesn't rejoice in
truth, it rejoices in a lie. Christ said of many of you, 'Ye are of
your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do', and
'When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and
the father of it.' And again, 'He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.'

   These scoundrels that lie about the the King James Bible will speak
about the 400 variations between 1611 and 1613; and the changes in
spelling and punctuation between 1762 and 1769, without ever telling
you that these changes never even once affected the English text or the
Greek text. They won't tell you that these changes were a genuine
revision due to changes in spelling and punctuation. They will not tell
you that the new bibles were translated from manuscripts that differ
between themselves 3000 times in the Gospels alone.

   Now, this greatest of all books ever printed is the King James 1611
Authorized Version. As high as $50,000 has been paid for a copy of the
Bible, and there isn't one communist book on the market worth $25. Who
would pay more than $25 for a book written my Lenin or Marx or Trotsky
or Engels? But people have paid as much as $50,000 for a copy of the
King James 1611 Authorized Bible.

   This amazing old book, in it's standard issue in the United States
has a black cover, showing it's a book that deals with death. It has
gold edges showing that it's a book dealing with deity, or red edges
showing that it's a book dealing with blood. It has 7 seals around the
back, indicating that it is the 7-sealed book.

   This amazing King James 1611 Authorized Version has had different
portions of it translated into 1,578 languages; out-translating any
other four publications combined.

   Furthermore about this book, no Hebrew or Greek scholar in
Cincinnati, or New York or Los Angeles or London, of any persuasion has
ever discovered one fundamental that is not clearly given in a 1611
Authorized Version.

   Furthermore there has never lived, nor is there alive now, any
Hebrew or Greek Scholar, or any of his friends, who can produce one
major revelation from any Greek or Hebrew bible that wasn't being
circulated in English a hundred years before you were born.

   Furthermore there is no evidence that any hebrew or greek scholar
who ever lived since 1611, made any effective contribution to
soul-winning or preaching, never confirmed anyone's faith in one
doctrine without altering the text.

   In plainer words, there isn't one truth the Christian needs to know
that isn't found in a King James 1611 Authorized Version.

   Furthermore there's nobody reading this that can find one.

   Furthermore if you can find one, I'll send you $100. My address is:
Richard Clark P.O.Box 92 Newport,KY 41071

   You don't know one hebrew or greek scholar including yourself or the
men that teach you who can find one major doctrine or one major
fundamental, that I can't find in the Author's Version in 15 seconds.
Now, there are several things you ought to know about this book. We
have the promise of preservation of this book in Psalm 12. We have the
honesty of the men that preserved this book, who put in italics words
that they knew weren't in the manuscripts. We have the time of its
publication after Bloody Mary had burned almost 250 Bible-believing
Christians at the stake in the fires of Smithsfield. The next
generation coming up had smelled the smoke burning in their nostrils
when they were children, and some of them that sat down and did this
work, of course, had mothers and fathers and friends and relatives who
were burned at the stake. You couldn't fool them, like you fool these
suckers in America. When these fellows sat down in 1611 to translate
this Bible, these men that sat down, some of them were born around 1560
and 1570; and the fires of Smithsfield had burned their parents and
parents' friends at the stake. They knew who the religious
whore(Rev.17) of Babylon was. Do You? But then ignorance increases with
communication and transportation. You wouldn't have fooled them.

   We know the King James Bible is the word of God because it has no
copyright.

   We know that the King James Bible is the word of God because of the
pre-eminent place that it gives to Jesus Christ.

   We know that the King James Version is the word of God because of
the dishonesty of it's critics. They omit words for no reason. And they
interpolate when they feel like getting rid of the following words:
They take out the words God, Lord, Christ, Heaven, Hell, Evil, Good,
Blood; by saying these words were interpolated.

   The attitude toward the word of God differs among groups.

   The Roman Catholic teaching is that it's one of three sources:
1.Tradition; 2.Authority of the Church; and 3.The Bible.

   The Lutheran view is that we're to judge the Bible by the word of
the Gospel and man bearing witness.

   Calvin taught that the Bible is divine truth, but all fulfilled and
completed in the past.

   However, the Bible-Believing Christian believes the Bible is the
word of God, the absolute truth, completely and scientifically and
historically correct; and if the scientists don't like it they can go
take a flying jump at the moon.

   In it's own writing, the Bible is called: The oracles of God, the
word of Christ, the word of God, the word of the LORD, the word of
life, the words of truth, and the word of faith. Jesus is the Lord!

   The Bible as it stands where it stands, gives 9 revelations of God
to man, the final being a book that is said to be a complete diet. It
is likened to bread in Luke 4:4; likened to honey in Psalm 119:103;
likened to milk in 1Peter 2; likened to meat in Hebrews 5; and apples
in Proverbs 25:11.

   In God's own estimation, the word of God is above the name of his
son Jesus Christ.(Psalm 138:2). And Paul does not hesitate to use the
word 'scripture' for 'God', in Galatians 3:8 and Romans 9:17.

   The critics of the King James Bible like to pretend that 2Timothy
3:16 refers to the original manuscripts ONLY, which of course it does
NOT! The greatest Bible-perverting heresy taught by these apostates is
that 2Timothy 3:16 is a reference to the originals, when 2Timothy 3:16
didn't say originals, it said SCRIPTURE. In the previous verse,
2Timothy 3:15, you're told that Timothy knew the scriptures since he
was a child. CLEARLY showing you that the scriptures are certainly not
the originals, never have been the originals, and never will be the
originals. The Ethiopian Eunuch was reading the scriptures, and there's
not a fool on this earth that things the Ethiopian Eunuch had the
original autographs of Isaiah.

   Nobody that is except these apostate fundamentalists who write books
about God-breathed Bibles and inspiration and all this nonsense, that
simply don't know what they are talking about, and are perverting the
word of God on top of that.

   People make the word of God of none effect by adding to the
Authorized text, subtracting from the Authorized text, or removing the
text from the context.

   The King James Authorized Version as it stands, cannot teach
anything except the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
unless you add to it, or subtract from it, or remove the text from the
context. If you believe the Bible as it stands, you can't get caught up
in any of the heresies that are abroad in the world today.

   No man who believes the Bible as it stands ever believed in
Baptismal Regeneration. No man who believes the Bible as it stands ever
got caught up worshiping idols or using images as an aid to worship.

   There isn't a case in the history of the universe where any man who
believes that book as it is written, without adding to it, without
subtracting from it, without removing the text from the context, that
ever got involved in one movement that led to the apostasy of the
church in 325 A.D. and that's leading to the apostasy of the church now
in the Laodicean period before the Second Advent of Jesus Christ.

   If you don't have The BIBLE, get one. Read it, Believe it, Love it,
Preach it, Teach it, Memorize it, Practice it, and when Soviet Romanism
takes over: By the grace of God, Die by it!

   The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. --Richard
