"The goal of the NASB is to be as literal 'word-for-word' as possible. Most Bible scholars hold the NASB to be the most literal of all the modern English Bible translations. In order to make the NASB easier to read while ensuring accuracy, the following methods were used in the 1995 update:

• Archaic "thee's" and "thou's," etc., were updated to modern English.

• Words and phrases that could be misunderstood due to changes in their meaning during the past 20 years were updated to current English.

• Verses with difficult syntax or vocabulary were retranslated into smoother English. Verbs with multiple meanings were retranslated to accurately reflect the context.

 

I just love that word "SCHOLAR", don't you? I mean it sounds so dignified and so WISE! (hmmm....seems I heard that lie back in the Garden of Eden - ye shall be as gods--knowing good and evil...) The very FIRST thing the SERPENT did in the garden was to QUESTION WHAT GOD SAID --- "Yea, hath God said"---??? And there goes Eve - suddenly filled with doubt about Gods WORDS. I mean - did he REALLY say that, Eve??? He hasn't changed a bit in 6000 years! Can God really preserve his word? Is he able?

 

Well, the so-called scholars stink - every single one of them that messed with the KJV. The NASB has several verses that have been changed, removed or perverted from the KJV. Here is just one example of many - Look at 1 John 5:7, in the 1611 AV KJV, it reads:

 

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear record in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.

But the NASB changed it to read:

For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

WHY? To make it clearer? Easier to read? "SMOOTHER ENGLISH"? NO!  Notice that they got RID of the WORD. Who is the WORD? We know from the gospel of John that the WORD is JESUS.  Also, it is an attack on the TRINITY! Think about it! The King James tells you that the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost are ONE in TWO different places, yet the NASB tells you that they are simply "in agreement". Duh?  BIG DIFFERENCE there! Mohammed and the Koran are "in agreement" too! The Pope & the Catholic Church are "in agreement" too! This is a blatant attack on the TRINITY! Also, notice that in the NASB, "the FATHER" was totally removed!!! Well, this should satisfy the FEMINISTS who hate any reference to God as MALE. There you have it! The people who translated the King James were under the direct guidance of the Holy Spirit!  They were humble people. Where the word of a King is - there is power. It is all about money! You have to pay to use their Bibles, but the King James can be quoted by anyone, copied by anyone - there is NO copyright on it! The only thing it has is the King's copyright which means that as long as a monarch reigns in England, the King James Bible cannot be altered.

The translators of all the new bibles? Well, we already KNOW what "spirit" they were under!!!! Are the words "the WORD" archaic? REALLY? Oh and don't even look for I John 5:7 in some of the new translations like the NIV. There is just a blank there - they left it out altogether!

Here are others, but they are not all of the corruptions! There are thousands! Also, they didn't just change a word or two here and there, they changed ENTIRE GROUPS OF WORDS & sentences and omitted others!

Matthew 8:29, the KJV says: "And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" yet, the NASB says:  "And behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with You, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?" Why did the NASB leave out the word JESUS? Is it because the devil hates the fact that JESUS IS the Son of God? Why destroy that link? WHAT IS HARD TO READ about the word JESUS? I don't have a difficult time understanding it!

Also, consider Matthew 9:18 - in the KJV it reads:  "While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live." Yet, the NASB translators put this down: "While He was saying these things to them, behold, there came a synagogue official, and bowed down before Him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live." The NASB changes 'Worshipped Him' to 'Bowed down before him'.  This fits right into the Catholic doctrine that they don't "worship" images, they simply bow down to them, but this isn't the same as worship, right? Of course, over in England, people bow down to royalty and they don't consider it worship - but WHY take worship away from GOD to whom it belongs? Why get rid of the fact that Jesus is WORSHIPPED? You are only supposed to worship God! Since Jesus is GOD, then WORSHIP belongs to Him, but the devil does NOT want that to be known. Another attack on the deity of Jesus. And you think this was NOT deliberate, Sandra? OH YES IT WAS!!!! Incidentally, the NASB did the SAME time in Mark 5:6! They took out the words "and worshipped him," and changed them to "bowed down before Him".  WORSHIP belongs to God. Jesus never told anyone NOT to worship him, yet in the book of Revelation in KJV 22:8-9 when John fell at the feet of an angel to WORSHIP, the angel stopped him and told him not to do it! Remember too that Peter did not accept worship in Acts 10:25-26 either. He knew that worship belongs only to God. The NASB took out the word worshipped Him to make it easier to understand? What's hard about the words "worshipped Him?" Unless you're the devil and you want people worshipping you instead of Jesus.  It's SMOOTHER alright! Slick Willies! They are just as smooth as oil and twice as poisonous as the venom of asps!

Something similar happens in Matthew 20:20 - where the NASB again took out the word "worshipping" and changed it to "kneeling down". Duh? Another reinforcement of Catholic doctrine that says kneeling in front of idols is NOT worship! They should LOVE this Bible! The same thing happens in Mark 5:6 where the NASB changed the word "and worshipped him" to "fell on his knees", so you would THINK that falling on your knees in front of an idol is not the same as worship. IT IS!

There are also MANY verses where the NASB translators totally removed the word LORD from a verse referring to Jesus. Who else, besides the devil, would rather remove the LORDSHIP from the LORD JESUS CHRIST? Consider a few samples of many: Mark 9:24, I challenge YOU to find the word LORD in your NASB in this verse. It is GONE! Try finding it in Mark 11:10! Also, look at your NASB in Luke 4:41 where the word CHRIST is totally removed from the verse. There are false messiahs out there, but only ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST! 

I challenge you to find the word LORD in your NASB in Luke 7:31. It isn't there because they took it out! The same thing in Luke 22:31...and Luke 23:42.

Oh - and don't look for the ascension of Jesus into heaven in your NASB in Luke 24:51 because they simply omitted that entire phrase "and carried up into heaven". Wasn't it Lucifer who said "I will ascend?"  Well, he surely does NOT want anyone to know that it was JESUS who ascended up into heaven, NOT him and NOT Mohammed! They also attacked the divinity of Jesus in John 9:35. They changed the words "Son of God" to "Son of Man". We all know that Jesus is the Son of God and the Son of Man, but WHY remove the reference to him as SON OF GOD in the NASB? Unless you're inspired by the devil himself! WHY change Son of God to Son of Man??? What was hard to understand about SON OF GOD that the NASB had to take out? You tell me. And they made it SMOOTHER? You bet'cha! Smooth as snakes!

This is one of the WORST! In Colossians 1:14 KJV "In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins."  The  NASB leaves out "through His blood." There you have it! The devil HATES the BLOOD! Get rid of the blood! I have NO problem understanding what "through His blood" means at all, and I resent some god-forsaken, pompous ass, sitting in a school of divinity taking the BLOOD out of my Bible!

You don't have to look very far to find out WHO the SPIRIT behind the NASB is! Just look at 1 John 4:3. In the KJV it reads: "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist. ." NASB reads: "and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world."  Did you get that? The NASB left out "Christ is come in the flesh". Do you know what that does? That means that those translators operated under the spirit of antichrist!!!!

WHY would the NASB try to get rid of the words "according to the flesh" in Acts 2:30? KJV "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;"  Well, the NASB says:  "And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS UPON HIS THRONE," What happened to the words "according to the flesh" and the word CHRIST? They are totally gone from the NASB! There you have it! The NASB is an ANTICHRIST Bible. They did the SAME thing in I Tim 3:16!  By the way, the NIV does the same thing in several places, and so do several other "newer" versions.  WHY did the NASB take the word LORD out of Galatians 6:17. Do YOU have a hard time understanding what the word LORD means? I don't. But I can tell you that the devil HATES the fact that JESUS IS LORD! They also removed the words "by Jesus Christ" in Ephesians 3:9. Ditto for Ephesians 3:14 - the NASB took out the words "of our Lord Jesus Christ." And again in Coloss 1:2. They removed the words "Jesus Christ" in 2 Tim 4:22. WHICH Lord is the NASB referring to? 

Romans 1:16 KJV "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ..." NASB "For I am not ashamed of the gospel. . ." NASB leaves out "of Christ."   Well, why take out the words "of Christ"? It's HIS gospel. Otherwise, whose gospel are you talking about? There are a lot OF gospels out there, but only ONE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST! I don't have a hard time understanding what those words mean in the KJV, but obviously the devil wants them OUTTA THERE

By the time you get to Rev 1:11, it gets sicker! The NASB removes the words "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last" completely from that verse! This pacifies the Jehovah's witnesses who do not believe Jesus is the ETERNAL Son of God, but that he was a created being! And forget about the 24 elders in Rev 5:14 falling down and worshipping "him that liveth forever and ever" -  They totally removed "him that liveth forever and ever" from that verse.

Those who come to Jesus must REPENT, but not according to the NASB. In Matthew 9:13 they took out the words "to repentance". They did the SAME thing in Mark 2:17. That works fine for all those who believe they can just keep living like the devil and still get to heaven because God is one great big KISS!

And on and on it goes. They attack the virgin birth, the deity of Christ and the Trinity over and over and OVER AGAIN! America grew into a mighty nation with the King James Bible proliferating every where. Great revivals took place that shook America. This is the Bible that has gone around the world. This is the translation that has gone into hundreds of languages. This was the Bible that they took out of the schools. Those same scholars will take the KJV Bible, look you right in the eye and say "Oh but, we believe this is the Word of God," when they are lying through their teeth! This is why so many young people who go to seminary believing in the KJV as the word of God come out not believing ANYTHING! There are even cases of young people leaving seminary and turning to Islam and Catholicism and other cults. It is because they had their sword stolen from them. Their final authority is gone and they don't know what to believe in! These godless translators want YOU to believe that they are giving you a better Bible, when in fact, they are taking away your sword and giving you a curse. And I won't even start on the NIV. It's worse!

My advice - get your SWORD BACK! That is where the POWER is!
