Affected Teaching

(John 6:37 KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. We read in John 6:37 that all those whom the Father gives to the Lord Christ for salvation will come to Him. In His High Priestly prayer in chapter 17, the King James Bible reveals that the Lord Jesus Christ is specifically praying for all the believers as evidenced in the phrase in verse 11, “those whom thou has given me,” which harmonizes perfectly with John 6:37 above. The modern versions remove that phrase and replace it with “name“, thus taking away a great truth out of the Lord’s prayer for His people.
