- Affected Teaching
- Not only is the Lord Jesus Christ attacked in the modern versions, but
so is God the Father. Here we have a major statement that God is not the God
of the dead but of the living. Look at the passage very carefully.
(Mat 22:32 KJV) I am the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but
of the living. If you notice the passage does not
say “I was the God of…” This is because Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive
in Heaven at the present time. The modern versions replace the proper name
“God” with the personal pronoun “He.” Once again a personal pronoun can be
turned into anyone the reader wants it to be but here it is so wrong because
the Bible is telling us plainly that “God” is the “God of the living” in no
uncertain terms. This verse is a verse of encouragement for the believer
because if Abraham is alive for over 4,000 years in heaven, then we as
contemporary believers, are looking for that blessed hope in that we may be
alive forever more. (Titus 1:2 KJV) In
hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world
began; We see in Titus 1:2 that God himself is
making the promise of eternal life for the believer and that harmonizes
beautifully with Matthew 22:32 that God is the God of the living. It is a
shame that there is no fear of God among modern bible translators because
they turn God into a personal pronoun on the say so of two occultists, Hort
and Westcott. Let us stay with the King James Bible because it is the Bible
that honors God the Father and God the Son.
