Would you believe brother John MacArthur titled almost every one of his videos from 2008 thru 2012 with John 8:32, before it was changed by these sinister Bible changes? On each and every one of these video search results we see “The Truth Shall Set You Free“, and not “The Truth Shall Make You Free” like it reads in the King James Bible today!!! Imagine that. Of course, when I clicked on the link for many of these results, I came up empty handed.

And no, he didn’t use another version to quote this from. The closest any version even comes to this verse is the NIV which says: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.“, but the NIV uses the word will, and not the word shall like the KJV does! I believe it’s time to make another video, and then ask brother MacArthur why this came up in my search.

But anyway, look at the proof I found, and see for yourself.

1. John Piper’s DESIRING GOD YouTube channel has mega visits, and views daily. For him to admit these changes, I believe would loose him credibility if he stood alone telling others that it’s happening. One might think that he thinks he wasn’t per-destined to take a stand on such matters. Sorry, that’s a pun on brother Piper being a Calvinist in his beliefs. He, in at least two of his videos from the past, has plainly mentioned the missing verse from Isaiah 11:6 (the lion shall lie down with the lamb) The most recently revealed was in his interview with Rick Warren, dated May 14, 2014. The proof video referencing this incident can be seen by clicking this link, or watch it below this article. The video this was taken from is still online to this day! Click this link to view it. You’ll find the segment around the 38:30 timestamp. And it seems my questions have been muted from his channel.
2. Brother Charles Lawson’s zion4131 YouTube channel has almost as many views a John Pipers. Brother Lawson is an in your face, fundamentalist, pre-millenial, King James Only preacher from east Tennessee. This dear man of God loves being a soul winner. He’s a dispensationalist to a fault, and loves teaching on the end times. When I made a video of him quoting something that no longer was in the King James, I pointed it out to him in a video showing that he had quoted the term “Holy of Holies” which cannot be found in the King James Bible any more. It’s been replaced with other terms. That video showing his quotes can be seen by clicking this link, or watch it below this article. Before I got a chance to ask the brother about this discrepancy, one of his evangelists from his church lambasted me in the comments section of the video. He saw his pastor quote the all too famous term, and he knew his pastor was a King James only man, but refused to admit to the evidence. Go figure. A few of brother Lawson’s videos seem to be removed from YouTube. And as for my inquiries, they’ve been deleted from his channel.
3. Brother John MacArthur‘s YouTube channel, Grace to You, has just as great a following as the previous two. He’s been quoted, along with John Piper, and pastor Bob DeGray in this video the same verse from Isaiah of the lion laying down with the lamb. I have yet to try asking Brother John or brother Degray about their quotes. I’m still praying over how to handle that.

I don’t know. Do you think I ought to just leave well enough alone, and continue posting my proof videos??? No, I don’t think so…

The Lord Jesus made it clear – even centuries after the original Old Testament books were given – that the Word of God as it stood in that day, is correct. It had not changed. He declared that even “one jot or one tittle” (Matthew 5:18) would not be changed as long as there was a “heaven and earth” – they would remain intact forever. Today, many preachers believe that God’s Word is accurately preserved in the King James Version.

Careful study of the Word quickly reveals that words are very significant to God. Accuracy depends on it – and so does God’s reputation. He told His people that if a prophecy does not come to pass exactly as given by a prophet that declared to have a message from God, then you can be certain that it was not God that gave it (Deuteronomy 18:21,22).

Besides Bible prophecy, all doctrines also depend on the meaning of every word. Some of the changes made in the newer Bible versions illustrate this perfectly. For instance, in I Corinthians 1:18, the KJV reads: “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” Note especially that the phrase “unto us which are saved” – is in the present tense.

This verse is important because it is often used to verify the Bible’s teaching of the assurance of salvation. It makes it clear that salvation takes place the moment the sinner asks for it in faith. Other versions, such as the NKJV and the NIV (among others) use the words: “to us who are being saved.” This wording denies the fact that a believer can know that he or she has a sure and complete salvation. These Bible’s teach that salvation is a process and not an instant transaction as the Bible (KJV) teaches in many places. Satan has caused confusion through the changing of just a couple of words.

The changing of words to produce doubt has been Satan’s tactic from the beginning of time.

God told Adam (Eve was not created yet) in the Garden that if he ever ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that “in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:16,17).

After a brief discussion with Satan, and when he saw that Eve did not know the exact words of the command not to eat of the tree (she said: “Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”), then he knew he had her right where he wanted her. He saw her vulnerability and then introduced words that caused further doubt as to what God said and meant – the rest is tragedy.

Eve’s problem (and ours) begins when changes are tolerated – even slight ones – in the Word of God. God never intended His Word to be evolutionary – changing over time. Once written, it was never to be changed. God strongly warned against changing it either by adding or subtracting anything in Revelation 22:18,19.

Satan knows the power of the Word. He fears it and knows that God will use it to take souls out of his evil kingdom and put them into His own Kingdom. So he fights the Word and if he cannot prevent people from hearing it as given by God, Mark 4:15 tells us that “where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.”

Because Satan continuously fights against the Word, God’s people need to continually be on the alert – constantly fighting for its accuracy, veracity, and preservation. A warning must be given to God’s people not to tolerate compromise – in the Word, in doctrine, or Bible practice. Compromise in any of these areas admits the Wicked One into the midst – enabling him to wreak havoc among the people of God and in the world.

We must be always like Paul, who said, in II 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.” May God help us to uphold the accuracy of the preserved Word in the King James Version which God holds more precious than His own Name (Psalm 138:2 “for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”). For His glory, may His Word be strongly defended against changes – whether done intentionally, carelessly, or accidentally.
