The Imperfection of the KJV

[ChristB4us]

Although I believe the KJV is keeping the meat of His words that modern Bibles do not, I know it is not a perfect Bible, but on those cases where the KJC could have done better at, the modern bibles do not address and sometimes they make it worse than how the KJV has it.

The one example that modern Bibles did not address is Revelation 3:5 where the Greek word "ov un" from where the English word "not" was translated from, is a double negative, meaning, Jesus would never do that to any one in removing their name form the Book of Life.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Opposing contention cite the Revelation 22:19 but that is about removing his initial inheritance in having a home in that City of God; rather than his name.

Revelation 20:19 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.

None of the modern bibles has clarified that "not" in Revelation 3:5 as being a double negative and yet we have many believing they can lose their salvation because of that portion in that verse in Revelation 20:19.

How do I know I am applying His words rightly in Revelation 3:5?

John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.  KJV

I am fairly sure all other modern Bibles has kept this truth, but there it is in the KJV.

But when it is not that clear in Revelation 3:5, believers tend to think otherwise that the name can be taken out too because of Revelation 22:19.

Thing is, Jesus said the name will not be taken out and specified that it is the part that shall be taken away out of the Book of Life as I apply that towards no longer having that place to live in the City of God.

The KJV does not teach error, but just addressing where the KJV could have done better in translating from the Greek that other modern Bibles has failed to do in "better English " while supposedly translating from the Greek to get their copyright for that modern Bible.

God be willing, I shall address

next a scriptural reference that modern Bibles did not address and indeed, got worse at, as if translating from the KJV Bible instead rather than from the Greek.

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

If you click on the last Greek word in verse 17, you will get "aetos" which is eagles or wind like flight.

If you click on that third long Greek word from the end of that verse, you will get "sunago" which is defined as following: "from sun - sun 4862 and agw - ago 71; to lead together, i.e. collect or convene; specially, to entertain (hospitably):--+ accompany, assemble (selves, together), bestow, come together, gather (selves together, up, together), lead into, resort, take in."

So there is a reception of the body of believers by wind like flight as they are being taken at the rapture event with hospitality to entertain at the Marriage Supper held in Heaven when the Bridegroom comes.

So where do some modern Bibles get "vultures" and "corpse" from?  Is it any wonder that some apply that to mean that the bad guys are being taken away as removed from the earth thus applying this towards His coming as the King of kings rather than as the Bridegroom?

In the context of the message from Luke 17:26 onward to verse 37, Jesus is citing a destruction coming on the earth for which there is to be an escape and thus a removal of the saints abiding in Him for when this happens.  He is warning believers not to treasure anything to go back to his home as if to take it with them per verse 31 and referenced what had happened to Lot's wife in verse 32 not to do that, but be willing to leave everything behind.  

Now if that was the bad guys being removed, why warn believers not to do that if they are not being taken away?

Anyway, a lot of believers do not believe in the pre great tribulation rapture event, but that is not a requirement to be raptured.  What is required is to be found abiding in Him and not in unrepentant iniquity ( Luke 12:40-49 KJV & 1 Corinthians 3:10-17 KJV & Luke 13:24-30 KJV ) and also to be willing to go ( Luke 14:15-24 KJV and not be snared by the cares of this life that you would not want to leave it ( Luke 21:33-36 KJV ).  Luke 17:26-37 above applies to the latter as well.

Anyway, the KJV should have done better in English for those Greek words whereas modern bibles did not, but made it worse to ascertain the truth in His words.
