They tell you the New King James Bible was created to ‘update the time honored text’, but does it do that or does it tear it down?

The common belief held by most Christians today that the New King James Bible is just like the original King James Bible, but just without all those silly, archaic words like ‘thee, thou and ye’ and that is absolutely not true. The “new” King James Bible is a direct attack against God’s preserved word as you shall soon see.

“Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:25,26 (KJB)

This article today will be quite the eye-opener for all of you who understand the drastic changes in ‘bibles’ like the NIV and ESV, but naively think that the New King James Bible is just as good as the original. It is not, and we will prove it to you right now. After reading this article, click the image below to view and order some amazing and eye-opening books on the supremacy of the King James Bible over all other versions, including the ‘new’ King James Bible.

King James Version – KJV	New King James Version- NKJV
What did the Serpent actually say?

Where did God tell Moses to put the Book of the Law?

NKJV prints historical error

And Pharaoh Necho killed him at Megiddo when he confronted him.
NKJV says that Israel is without hope

No difference between a wound and a tasty trifle?
Proverbs 18:8 (KJB) The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.	Proverbs 18:8 (NKJV) The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,[fn] And they go down into the inmost body.
NKJV is flat out lying to you
Isaiah 9:3(KJB) 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.	Isaiah 9:3 (NKJV) You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy;[fn] They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Why won’t the NKJV tell you it’s a whale?
Matthew 12:40 (KJB) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Get saved is now difficult in the NKJV
Matthew 7:14 (KJB) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.	Matthew 7:14 (NKJV) “Because[fn] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Are you saved or are you ‘being saved’? Huge difference!
Corinthians 1:18 (KJB) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.	1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
The NKJV changes you from a follower to an imitator
1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJB) Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.	1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV) Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
The NKJV erases the Name of Jehovah
Exodus 6:3 (KJB) And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.	Exodus 6:3 (NKJV) “I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD[fn] I was not known to them.

Question: Aren’t some of these things included in the NKJV in the [fn] footnotes?

Answer: That is not the same as including them in the text. When a young Christian sees these passages have been moved to the footnotes, he or she will assume that they are probably not really part of God’s Word. After all, the translators did not include them in the text, but simply implied that “some” manuscripts include them. What they are not told is that the vast majority of texts used by the early church included these words. They are God’s Words!

The above chart shows 10 or 12 examples of how the NKJV has changed and/or removed the words from the word of God. Do YOU want a bible that cuts out the holiness of God, removes lots of the promises, and in some cases just deletes the verse altogether?

Or do you want the true, pure words that God Himself wrote? Because there is power on in those words, and not in the weak, powerless words of man.

Decide for yourself. Just remember that God promises to curse those who mess with the word He wrote. Pray the Holy Spirit to show you the truth. But in closing, let me just direct your attention to the following verse and meditate on what God has to say about the “word of a king”. Hmm…

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJB)
