Version really just a
revised King James
Bible? You will probably
be shocked, as I was,
when you see just
what a corrupt
translation the New King
Bible had been around for
hundreds of years before
mankind (Westcott and
Hort in the 1800's,
necromancers who talked
to the dead], a communist,
and Mary-worshipers
instead of Jesus Christ
worshippers) decided that
they knew better than
God what His Bible
should say; and they went
about to add, remove, and
change what they didn't
like in the King James Bible!
That is because the King
James Bible convicts
people of their sins and
brings them to repentance
and salvation by God's
grace through faith in His
Sinless Son, Jesus Christ!
Westcott and Hort were
deeply into the occult and
other sinful stuff so that is
why they hated the King
James Bible so much. I
hope you don't mind me
adding this additional
background information.
I just hope it is helpful to
you in your further study
about the importance of
which Bible you use!
The newer versions line up
The newer versions line up
with the occult and new age
ideas that Satan loves, which
will lead to a one world bible
when the Antichrist appears
during the great tribulation
period Jesus spoke about.
Read Gail Riplinger's book,
New Age Bible Versions,
and learn the truth about the
beliefs of the men and
women behind the new
'Bible' versions. I think you
will be shocked at their
beliefs and their lifestyles.

Making revisions or new bible
Making revisions or new bible
versions every year today is
big money $$ for publishers!
That is why they hate the
King James Bible because
it does not need any
corrections, and those who
trust the KJB do not ever
need to buy another Bible!
That is bad news for the
publishers who are not
born again Christians
trying to save men's
souls, but business men
and women out to make
big bucks from naive
Christians who are
trusting the advertisers
that each new version
of the Bible is better
than the last 100 other
new man-made versions!
Please read further, and
then come to your own
conclusions. What
follows are just a few of
the many changes that
the writers of the NKJV
have made to the real
Word of God, the King
James Bible. There are
just too many changes
in the NKJV to list here!
In this first Bible verse,
the KJB speaks of Jesus
as "thy holy child", meaning
that Jesus Christ is the
holy Son of God, not the
son of a human father.
But, the NKJV has changed
But, the NKJV has changed
"thy holy child" to "your
holy servant". Why would
the writers of the NKJV
demote Jesus Christ, the
Creator and Saviour of the
world from being "thy holy
child" (the Son of God) to
a servant? The NKJV has
repeated this error in Acts
4:30.
KJB
Acts 4:27 For of a truth
KJB
Acts 4:27 For of a truth
against thy holy child Jesus,
whom thou hast anointed,
both Herod, and Pontius
Pilate, with the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel,
were gathered together,
NKJV
Acts 4:27...your holy Servant...
In this next verse, the KJB
NKJV
Acts 4:27...your holy Servant...
In this next verse, the KJB
shows that we can
understand how much
God loves us because
He "laid down his life for
us" meaning that Jesus
Christ (who laid down
His life for us) is GOD
ALMIGHTY!
The NKJV has removed
The NKJV has removed
"of God". Why remove
the specific meaning
of the verse - that our
salvation would not be
possible if it were not
for GOD'S LOVE AND
SACRIFICE for us!
KJB
1 John 3:16 Hereby
KJB
1 John 3:16 Hereby
perceive we the love
of God, because he laid
down his life for us: and
we ought to lay down
our lives for the
brethren.
NKJV
1 John 3:16...know love...
In this next verse the KJB
NKJV
1 John 3:16...know love...
In this next verse the KJB
mentions "Satan's seat".
The NKJV has changed
that phrase to "Satan's
throne". Why is the NKJV
elevating Satan to where
he has a throne? Satan
has no throne.
KJB
Revelation 2:13 I know thy
KJB
Revelation 2:13 I know thy
works, and where thou
dwellest, even where
Satan's seat is: and thou
holdest fast my name,
and hast not denied my
faith, even in those days
wherein Antipas was my
faithful martyr, who was
slain among you, where
Satan dwelleth.
NKJV
...Satan's throne...
NKJV
...Satan's throne...
In this next verse the KJB
talks about God raising up
His Son Jesus.
The NKJV changed Jesus
from being God's Son to
being God's Servant! Why
would they demote our Lord
and Saviour, Jesus Christ,
that way, and take away
His deity? Satan must love
the writers and publishers
of this 'bible' for demoting
Jesus to a servant!
KJB
having raised up his Son
Jesus, sent him to bless
you, in turning away every
one of you from his iniquities.
NKJV
Acts 3:26...His Servant Jesus...
In this next verse the KJB
NKJV
Acts 3:26...His Servant Jesus...
In this next verse the KJB
was talking about people
who were corrupting the
word of God.
The NKJV changed
The NKJV changed
"corrupting the word of
God" to "peddling" it. That
is a bad translation!
Corrupting the word of
God and selling the word
of God are not even
closely related. Speaking
of corrupting the word of
God - this is it! And
these bible corruptors
are peddling their
revised word of god to
make money!
KJB
2 Corinthians 2:17 For we
are not as many, which
corrupt the word of God:
but as of sincerity, but as
of God, in the sight of
God speak we in Christ.
NKJV
2 Corinthians 2:17...
NKJV
2 Corinthians 2:17...
peddling the word of God...
In this next verse the KJB
In this next verse the KJB
talks about us which "are
saved".
The NKJV has changed
The NKJV has changed
"are saved" to "are being
saved", which means the
NKJV writers believe
wrongly that salvation is
an ongoing process.
Read Ephesians 2:8-9,
Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:16,
Romans 4:2 - 4:6, Romans
10:9-10, John 3:15-16 to
see that we are NOT saved
by anything that we can do!
Jesus Christ has already
Jesus Christ has already
paid our sin-debt in full
when he died on the cross
and rose from the dead!
That is why Jesus said
"It is finished" as he was
dying because He paid for
our sins in full - once and
done forever! Salvation
is not a process. It's a
done deal! The NKJV
has repeated this error in
2 Corinthians 2:15.
KJV
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the
KJV
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the
preaching of the cross is to
them that perish
foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it is
the power of God.
NKJV
1 Corinthians 1:18...are being
NKJV
1 Corinthians 1:18...are being
saved...
In this next verse the phrase
In this next verse the phrase
"repented not" in the KJB
means that these people
didn't feel any regret for
past sins.
The NKJV changed that
The NKJV changed that
word to "relent and believe"
which just means these
people didn't yield and
believe.
Repenting and relenting
Repenting and relenting
do not mean the same
thing. This is a bad
translation.
Repentance (as shown
Repentance (as shown
in the KJB) is a
requirement for salvation
(Luke 13:3 and 13:5,
Acts 3:19)! So, why did
the NKJV writers change
this important information
God wanted us to know?
KJB
Matthew 21:32 For John
KJB
Matthew 21:32 For John
came unto you in the way
of righteousness, and ye
believed him not: but the
publicans and the harlots
believed him: and ye,
when ye had seen it,
repented not afterward,
that ye might believe him.
NKJV
Matthew 21:32...relent and
NKJV
Matthew 21:32...relent and
believe...
In this next verse the KJB is
In this next verse the KJB is
warning us of "eternal
damnation" which means
"to be condemned to
eternal punishment".
That's scary!
The NKJV has changed "eternal
The NKJV has changed "eternal
damnation" to "eternal
condemnation". The
definition of "eternal
condemnation" means to be
judged to be wrong for
eternity. What a bad
translation! There's a big
difference between eternal
punishment and being
judged to be wrong. The
NKJV verse has removed
the scary warning God is
giving the world in His
Word, the KJB, so that
they can read it, obey it
and avoid everlasting
punishment in hell!
The NKJV has made that
The NKJV has made that
same error in all of
these verses: Mark 12:40,
John 5:29, Romans 13:2,
Romans 14:23, and 1
Corinthians 11:29.
KJB
Mark 3:29 But he that shall
KJB
Mark 3:29 But he that shall
blaspheme against the
Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in
danger of eternal
damnation:
NKJV
Mark 3:29...eternal
condemnation...
In the next verse the KJB
In the next verse the KJB
Jesus says "I am Christ".
The definition of Christ is:
the Hebrew Messiah, the
Anointed One, the
Saviour of the world.
The NKJV has changed "I
The NKJV has changed "I
am Christ" to "I am He".
The NKJV writers have
repeated this error in Luke
21:8. Why have they
removed Jesus Christ's
Holy Title of Honor as our
Precious Messiah / Saviour?
KJB (Jesus said:)
Mark 13:6 For many shall come
KJB (Jesus said:)
Mark 13:6 For many shall come
in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive
many.
NKJV
Mark 13:6...I am He...
The KJB speaks of the
NKJV
Mark 13:6...I am He...
The KJB speaks of the
Godhead which includes
God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The NKJV has changed
The NKJV has changed
"the Godhead" to "the
Divine Nature". What in
the world does that mean?
It sounds like new age
occultic thinking, or
maybe worship of nature!
And why would the NKJV
And why would the NKJV
change a reference to the
Trinity of God the Father,
God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit?
KJB
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then
KJB
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then
as we are the offspring of
God, we ought not to think
that the Godhead is like
unto gold, or silver, or
stone, graven by art
and man's device.
NKJV
Acts 17:29...the Divine
NKJV
Acts 17:29...the Divine
Nature...
"Damnable heresies" in the
"Damnable heresies" in the
KJB means errors in
fundamental doctrines of the
gospel of Jesus Christ that
are worthy of eternal
punishment!
"Destructive heresies" in
"Destructive heresies" in
the NKJV means heresies
that cause destruction.
Changing "damnable
Changing "damnable
heresies (KJB)" to
"destructive heresies (NKJV)"
removes God's critical warning
to us about heresies that
could send us to an eternity
of punishment in hell! Why
would the NKJV writers want
to remove that warning so
people could be saved
from that horror of eternal
punishment?
KJB
2 Peter 2:1 But there were
KJB
2 Peter 2:1 But there were
false prophets also among
the people, even as there
shall be false teachers
among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying
the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon
themselves swift destruction.
NKJV
2 Peter 2:1...destructive
NKJV
2 Peter 2:1...destructive
heresies...
In the KJB Paul is warning
In the KJB Paul is warning
the Thessalonians (and all
Christians) to abstain from
"all appearance of evil",
so that we don't damage
our witness for Christ to
unbelievers.
The NKJV writers have
The NKJV writers have
changed the meaning of
the verse, watering down
the message.
The message in the KJB is
The message in the KJB is
important for us to know...that
even the "appearance of evil"
in our words or actions could
turn someone away from
following Jesus Christ and
avoiding punishment in hell
for all of eternity!
KJB
1 Thessalonians 5:22
KJB
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance
of evil.
NKJV
1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain
NKJV
1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain
from every form of evil.
The NKJV writers have
The NKJV writers have
completely changed the
meaning of this next verse.
In this next verse there is a
In this next verse there is a
difference between us being
ashamed of Christ (KJB),
and us being shamed
(NKJV).
This verse in the KJB was
This verse in the KJB was
meant to be about us being
unashamed of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ who
suffered and died in our
place! The NKJV version is
all about you, not about
Jesus Christ.
KJV
Romans 10:11 For the
KJV
Romans 10:11 For the
scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not
be ashamed.
NKJV
Romans 10:11..."Whoever
NKJV
Romans 10:11..."Whoever
believes on Him will not
be put to shame."
These are just a small
sample of changes in the
NKJV. This study does
not address any additions
or deletions from their
text. All I can say to the
writers and publishers
of the NKJV is to read
the following Bible
verses soberly! God
says what He means!
And He always does
what He says He will do!
Revelation
22:18 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:
22:19 And if any man shall
22:19 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.
And if you have not yet
accepted Jesus Christ as
your personal Saviour,
here is how:
