Question For Fellow Christians?

[FundamentalChristian]

Before the first new perversion was published in 1881 (the RV), the King James Bible was published, preached, and taught throughout the world. God blessed these efforts and hundreds of millions were saved. Today, with the many new translations on the market, very few are being saved. The great revivals are over. Who has gained the most from the new versions, God or Satan?

Revivals have ceased in most churches but are very much alive in evangelistic meetings :applause:held throughout the world where modern translations of the Bible are usually used since they are much easier to understand.

Before the KJV of 1611, the New Testament of William Tyndale was published in 1526. Tyndale also got as far as the poetic books of the Old Testament before he was hunted down and executed for his work by his own King of England under the Church of England, along with the Catholic Church also. Then later on, King James I's team of translators had the cheek to use Tyndale's work to refer to in the translation of the KJV of 1611. It is estimated that 70% is the work of Tyndale. Although there are many places where they changed the wording to suit their own teaching, e.g. 1 Cor 11:10.

They also changed the word 'congregation' to 'church' throughout the bible under the jurisdiction of the English government at the Conference of Hampton Court. This makes a big difference at 1 Cor 11:16 and Philemon verses 1-2. Certainly at Philemon the Greek word 'ecclesia' being spoken of is not a 'church', but a gathering or congregation.
