Why The Devil Wants More Than One Bible
(Or, a Helpful Bible Study on Genesis 3:1)

by David J. Stewart | December 2019

Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

       Kindly, we've got a bunch of UNGODLY pastors and Bible professors in America! Common sense dictates that if God only authored ONE HOLY BIBLE, then there can only be ONE ACCURATE ENGLISH BIBLE! These pastors are not DUMB or IGNORANT, because they are intelligent men, and they have been repeatedly warned; rather, they are UNGODLY, because there is nothing “godly” about a man who has no desire to uphold THE TRUTH!

This world is not your friend people; and I'm telling you that the world has crept into a lot of these carnal churches today, through the world's never-ending rash of “new” and “improved” Bible versions. Listen here people—they ain't improved nothin'! These modern PERversions are retarded. The Bible of the Month Club is not of God; it is the Devil trying to confuse you, and confuse everyone else too! God is not the author of confusion (1st Corinthians 14:33b; Acts 19:32). Nothing is confusing people like these hundreds of English Bible versions today. The average church has two dozen different Bible versions circulating in the pews each Sunday. Folks, God only authored ONE INSPIRED BOOK!!! That is why everybody and their dog are denying Bible inspiration today, because it permits having multiple English Bible translations, which confuses people.

John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” In case you haven't noticed, the world loves the Devil's new modern Bible versions. The world loves apostates like Pastor Joel Osteen, who recently invited reprobate Kanye West to dance for his so-called “church.” Oprah Winfrey loves Joel Osteen too! The world loves and receives their own. These hundreds of new modernized English Bible versions are OF THE WORLD, and so the world accepts and promotes them. Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1982) saw this disturbing trend long ago, and he warned everyone about it. ...

“The Word of God is our only hope—that's our only hope! This has been the generation of translations and abominations, and perversions, of the Word of God! It's been a long time; now when the Revised Standard Version came out, I stood against it before I knew what it was, because the wrong crowd heard of that, and the wrong crowd received it, and I knew it got too much publicity to be right! And I knew if the newspapers publicized something, it had to be wrong! And so I knew that the American people and a lot of American preachers—they welcomed it into their house before they knew it was a rattlesnake!” —Brother Lester Roloff, a needful quote from the MP3 sermon titled, “'THE LIVING BIBLE' EXPOSED!” [emphasis added]

There is something called: “Herd mentality,” mob mentality and pack mentality; also lesser known as gang mentality, these terms describe how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis.[1] This is why the secular media is effectively useful as a tool to shape people's thinking. Anytime we see the media promoting a new Bible version, something is very wrong! Jesus said the world hates Christians (John 15:19), because they hate Jesus (John 7:7). This world is not your friend people; and I'm telling you that the world has crept into a lot of these carnal churches today, through the world's never-ending rash of “new” and “improved” Bible versions. ...

“Be on guard against any tampering with the Word, whether disguised as a search for truth, or a scholarly attempt at apparently hidden meanings; and beware of the confusion created by the senseless rash of new versions, translations, editions, and improvements upon the tried and tested Bible of our fathers and grandfathers.” Dr. M.R. DeHaan, from the excellent book, THE TABERNACLE, Pg. 101

In Genesis 3:1-5, if you carefully study this amazing and important passage, you will find that the “serpent” (Satan - Revelation 20:2) changed the Word of God. In Genesis 2:16-17, the Lord told Adam and Eve in no uncertain terms that they could eat of “EVERY TREE,” except one (The Tree of Knowledge). The serpent came along and changed what God said. Please read this carefully—Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? That is not what God said! Did God say Adam and Eve could not eat of EVERY TREE? No, the Lord said they could eat to their heart's content of “every tree” in the Garden, save except ONE! Satan is a beautiful liar!
 

How Satan Corrupts God's Inspired Words

I cannot overemphasize enough that you understand what Satan did here to deceive Eve. The Devil deliberately put a question mark where God had placed an exclamation mark. Instead of the “THUS SAITH THE LORD!” in Genesis 2:16-17, now we have a “HATH GOD SAID?” in Genesis 3:1. By casting doubt upon God's Word, the Devil creating confusion over what God actually said, and had created a second authority by which to challenge God's Word, Eve was now in a position to become God herself, deciding which of the two authorities are correct. The Devil sure is slick!

Here are Satan's tactics:

  1. CAST DOUBT
  2. CREATE CONFUSION
  3. ESTABLISH A SECOND AUTHORITY
  4. HUMAN RATIONAL MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO AUTHORITIES
  5. MAN BECOMES HIS OWN GOD

Ladies and gentlemen, that is why Satan wants more than one Bible version!

It all starts with questioning what God said. The modern Bible versions CAST DOUBT upon God's Word. Having hundreds (or even two for that matter) of Bible translations CREATES CONFUSION. Now we have TWO authorities, because all of the modern Bibles originate from one of TWO ancient sources (i.e., the Textus Receptus or the Alexandrian Text). Having more than one authority requires a THIRD authority (human scholarship) to determine which of the first two authorities is correct. This elevates man to the level of being his own God. Satan fully knew this when he introduced a “new” ancient Greek text to the world (through Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort in 1881). The ending result is SIN, as men repeatedly choose corruptible seed over the inspired Word of God. At a very minimum, the presence of having multiple English Bible translations confuses, diminishes, and discourages people from abiding in the inspired Word of God. Dozens of ungodly Bible translations have recently been published to support the LGBTQ homosexual agenda. Even a fool can see that Satan is behind all these new translations, because of “THE LOVE OF MONEY” (1st Timothy 6:10).

Read what Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951) had to say 80 years ago about his generation back in 1937...

“Therefore the crying need of our degenerate times is for a revival of true old-fashioned, Christ-centered, Bible preaching that will call upon all men everywhere to repent in view of that coming day when God will judge the world in righteousness by His Risen Son.” —Pastor Harry A. Ironside, a quote from chapter 16 of the excellent book: EXCEPT YE REPENT

Pastor Ironside is exactly right, “the crying need of our degenerate times is for a revival of true old-fashioned, Christ-centered, Bible preaching that will call upon all men everywhere to repent in view of that coming day when God will judge the world in righteousness by His Risen Son.” Amen Brother, Amen! Don't miss what he said: We need BIBLE PREACHING that will call men everywhere to REPENT (change their mind to believe THE GOSPEL), to escape the coming judgment and wrath of a holy God upon a wicked world!

“The Good Samaritan, what made him different? From all that I can tell—he cared!” —Pastor Jeff Owens, “Who Cares Anyhow?

Bob Jones Guy Errantly Says Textual Variations Don't Really Matter

Evangelist Billy Sunday (1862-1935)Mark Ward graduated from Bob Jones University in 2012 with a Ph.D. (posthole digger). He wrote an article online in an attempt to justify Bob Jones' Satanic position on the Scriptures, titled: “When Two Bible Translations Disagree, Which One Is Right?” He answers this question, saying:

“The simple answer is this: any difference between Bible translations that is significant enough for you to notice is almost certainly not due to a textual variant.”

SOURCE: https://blog.logos.com/2017/05/two-bible-translations-disagree-one-right

In other words, he is saying that if two different translations contradict each other, it is merely a matter of semantics (wording), and not a difference in original meaning. Kindly, that guy speaks as a fool! Let's compare come translations, so I can prove it to you! The Greek word for “repent” in Mark 1:15 in the King James Bible is the verb metanoeo, which means, “to think differently.” It is a change of mind. It DOESN'T mean to “change your hearts and lives,” which is what the corrupt Easy-To-Read Version (ERV) says!!! . . .

KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) — Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. [emphasis added]

EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV) — Mark 1:15, “He said, “The right time is now here. God’s kingdom is very near. Change your hearts and lives, and believe the Good News! [emphasis added]

That is wrong, wrong, wrong! You don't have to change your own life as a requirement to be saved. Rather, it is the indwelling Holy Spirit that comes into a person at the time of salvation that changes one's heart and life, over time as they grow in grace by nurturing on the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2). Anyone who tells you that you must change your ways, habits or sinful lifestyle to be saved is a BIG LIAR! Eternal life is a gift (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9). A gift is simply received, not achieved. Clearly, by comparing and contrasting the King James Bible with the Easy-To-Read Version, we see that the difference in Mark 1:15 is FAR MORE than mere semantics. There is a night and day difference between thinking differently, versus changing one's life, to be saved!!!

What's Good About Being King James Bible Only? (Dr. David W. Daniels)

The Superiority Of The King James Bible (awesome, by Dr. David W. Daniels)

“God has preserved His inspired Word for us. It is preserved in the Hebrew Masoretic text and in the Greek Textus Receptus. It is also preserved for us in the English in the King James Bible. What He at first inspired, the Lord God has now preserved. Therefore, when I hold the King James Bible in my hand, I hold the inspired text. It was inspired and now that inspired Word has been protected, preserved and provided for us! —“What Is That Book You Hold In Your Hand?,” by Dr. Shelton Smith, editor, Sword of the Lord.

The Bob Jones University crowd are in denial, foolishly sanctioning corruptible seed. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) preached a wonderful sermon on this subject in 1994 called: “THE BATTLE OF THE AGES.” The arrogant Bob Jones camp have blood on their hands! We've got a bunch of snobs, brats and immaturity in our Baptist churches today; James 4:6, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” Anyone who goes along to get along with the Devil's counterfeit Bible translations is a fool. If you don't have a King James Bible in English my friend, you DON'T have God's inspired Words for today!!! The FRUIT of all the modern Bible versions is DOUBT; the FRUIT of the King James Bible is FAITH!!!
 

Theosophist Helena Blavatsky Said Satan Would Infiltrate the Churches

Satan is relentlessly working within the church to destroy it. Don't believe it? Consider Revelation 2:13 concerning the church of Pergamos, “I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is...” The founder of “Lucifer” Magazine Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), and editor Annie Besant (1847-1933), along with other occultists believed that Christian churches were the key to introducing the doctrines of Lucifer to large masses of people. The 1904 annual report of the Theosophical Society stated:

“I believe it is through the Churches and not through the Theosophical Society that Theosophy [the worship of Lucifer]... must and should come to large bodies of people in the West.” (Transactions of the Theosophical Society, H. P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, 1904, p. 377).

And then just eight years later the 1912 report of the Theosophical Society stated:

“Our Lodges continue their propaganda work....Outside the Lodges many of the members engage in what is really Theosophical work such as lecturing, talking on the principles we are trying to put forward, preaching and other activities in connection with the Christian Churches and other organizations....” (Theosophist Magazine, Annie Besant, 1912, p. 88).

Nineteenth century occult mystic Fenton Hort is perhaps best known for his part in the work of the corrupt bible revision committee of 1881. Speaking on the subject of creating a new eclectic New Testament text Hort stated:

“At present very many orthodox but rational men are being unawares acted upon by influences which will assuredly bear good fruit in due time, if the process is allowed to go on quietly;” (Life and letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 1, 1896, p. 400).

We are warned in 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light, and his false ministers transform themselves into ministers of righteousness. Satan is a liar and a deceiver, and so are his followers (John 8:44). Satan is not trying to corrupt the local tavern, it's already corrupt; he's trying to corrupt the local New Testament Church. Thus, Satan has infiltrated the modern church with numerous false doctrines, primarily through the modern corrupted Bible versions, which are ultimately aimed at corrupting the simplicity of the Gospel (i.e., God's simple plan of salvation) which is by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.

Here is a powerful quote from Pastor E.M. Bounds (1835-1913), and this is the part which I so vividly remember:
'The world' includes the mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ. It involves worldly affairs, earthly things, riches, pleasures, and pursuits that are shallow, frail, and fleeting. These things stir desire, draw us away from God, and are obstacles to the cause of Christ. The divorced or torn relationships between heaven and earth, between God and His creatures, finds its expression in the term 'the world.'” —Pastor Edward M. Bound, a quote from chapter 7 - Overcoming The Enemy Of God, from the classic book titled: “GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE.”
What a great explanation! I agree wholeheartedly with Joshua, who said: “BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD” (Joshua 24:15b).

“This world's getting so weird out there! Yeah, of course the truth's going to be [shocking]. I'm pretty shocked what's going on out there! So if I'm shocked by what's going on out there, why should it surprise me if someone walks in and they're a little shocked?” Pastor Steven L. Anderson; awesome YouTube sermon: The Dechristianization Of Our Nation | MP3

New World Order Bible Versions (1:46 video documentary)

The Devil Wants to Deprive People of the Inspired Words of God

The Devil is shrewd, he knows what he is doing. There is nothing new under the sun. The Devil is using the same Method Of Operation today that he used in Genesis 3:1, casting doubt upon God's Words and changing them. Romans 1:25, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” I fully agree with something that Pastor Steven Anderson said; I love this guy! ...

“The TRUTH is a thousand times more powerful than what these liberal churches are selling. The truth is so concentrated, that just one drop of the real unadulterated truth of THE GOSPEL, hard preaching—one clear 10-minute presentation of the Gospel—is more powerful than one hundred hours of NOTHINGNESS in their 'BLAH!' church or school!” Pastor Steven L. Anderson; awesome YouTube sermon: The Dechristianization Of Our Nation | MP3

Dr. David W. Daniels make some brilliant observations in the following video. If the King James Bible contains even 1% of man's words, then how can we know which words are God, and which are man's? If the King James Bible is anything less than 100% perfect, infallible, inerrant, preserved, and INSPIRED, it cannot be trusted...

What's Good About Being King James Bible Only? (Dr. David W. Daniels)

The Bob Jones crowd act shocked by my King James Bible only preaching, as if I arrived on an alien spaceship, but it is only because they have sinfully wandered so far away from THE TRUTH, that they are offended...

“This world's getting so weird out there! Yeah, of course the truth's going to be [shocking]. I'm pretty shocked what's going on out there! So if I'm shocked by what's going on out there, why should it surprise me if someone walks in and they're a little shocked?” Pastor Steven L. Anderson; awesome YouTube sermon: The Dechristianization Of Our Nation | MP3

Nothing is as shocking to me, as the churches accepting DOZENS of different Bible translations to use! Folks, God has only authored ONE SACRED BOOK! By being King James Bible only, I have A PERFECT STANDARD by which to try (test) all things (1s John 4:1). If you don't have God's one pure measurement, than how can you build a work for God, because it will never measure up to what God wants; it won't bring growth, it will bring confusion! Using multiple Bible translations brings confusion, doubt, disbelief and rebellion! Proverb 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”
