The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and study Paul's writings to apply the 'TO!"

Opposites - setisoppO

According to today's 'scholars,' can God be THIS wrong with the King James Bible?  These are a few verses that show the modern bibles have changed the following verses to mean exactly the OPPOSITE of the King James Bible.

We can also see the hatred directed towards Israel in these new Bibles.

Modern Bibles used in these cases is an NIV, but all modern bibles seem to follow the same trends with what verses they 'correct.'

The underlined portions are the places of opposites - but you will obviously see more worthless 'corrections' in the MB verses.



Matthew 11:12 - And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Modern Bibles - From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.

Hosea 10:1 - : Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
Modern Bibles - Israel was a spreading vine; he brought forth fruit for himself. As his fruit increased, he built more altars; as his land prospered, he adorned his sacred stones.

Hosea 11:12 - Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Modern Bibles Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit. And Judah is unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One.

Isaiah 18:1,2 - Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Modern Bibles - Woe to the land of whirring wings along the rivers of Cush, which sends envoys by sea in papyrus boats over the water. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.
Is that anti-semitism or what!

Psalms 10:4,5 - The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Modern Bibles - In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.  His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.

Ecclesiastes 8:10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
Modern Bibles - Then too, I saw the wicked buried—those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.

Isaiah 9:1 - Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Modern Bibles - Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan ...

Isaiah 9:3 - Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Modern Bibles - You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder.

Proverbs 26:22 - The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Modern Bibles - The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.

Colossians 2:18 - Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Modern Bibles - Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.

I Corinthians 11:16 - But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Modern Bibles - If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

Genesis 27:39 - And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
Modern Bibles - His father Isaac answered him, "Your dwelling will be away from the earth's richness, away from the dew of heaven above.

Psalm 29:9 - The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
Modern Bibles - The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"

Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Modern Bibles - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Proverbs 25:23 - The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
Modern Bibles - As a north wind brings rain, so a sly tongue brings angry looks.

Proverbs 18:24 - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Modern Bibles -  A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
