Why We Use the King James Bible

This message makes the case for using the King James Bible exclusively, instead of modern versions like the New King James, NIV, ESV, NASB, RSV, CSB, and NLT. He walks through specific verses where these modern versions reverse the meaning of the original text, introduce contradictions not present in the KJV, reject salvation by grace through faith, attack the eternal sonship of Christ, and grossly pervert God's law in terrible ways. He closes in Revelation 22, warning that anyone who adds to or takes away from God's words invites serious judgment, and presents corrupted modern Bible versions as part of Satan's ongoing effort to make people doubt God's word.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
