Let’s look at the Let’s look at the

Holy Bible’s Holy Bible’s definitiondefinition of of “is given by

inspiration of God”inspiration of God”

4545

•The definition of The definition of “inspiration” is ““inspiration” is “plainplain to him that to him that understandeth” Prov. understandeth” Prov. 8:9.8:9.

- Lest our “minds - Lest our “minds should be corrupted should be corrupted from thefrom the simplicity simplicity that that is in Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:3is in Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:3

4646

A compound word is made up of two other English words.

For example, a bricklayer is one who lays bricks.

It is called cognitive scaffolding, wherein meaning is built part by part.

4747

Inspiration is a compound word.

In-spir-ation is made up of the preposition ‘in’ and the noun ‘spir’ from ‘spirit.’

4848

The Bible reader has seen the words “in” and the phoneme ‘spir’ (in the word ‘spirit’) hundreds upon hundreds of times in the Bible, before the reader reaches the word ‘in-spir-ation.’

4949

The use of the word ‘spir,’ The use of the word ‘spir,’ meaning “spirit,’ lines up meaning “spirit,’ lines up perfectly with John 6:63 perfectly with John 6:63 where where Jesus defines his words.

He said,

““TheThe words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they and they are life.” are life.”

5050

The ending ‘ation’ on inspiration, changes a verb (an action, like inspire) into a noun (a thing, such as inspiration).

Inspire is the verb inspiration is the Biblical noun

(remember this; the NIV makes it an adjective)

inspired is the adjective

5151

Therefore “inspiration” is Therefore “inspiration” is the the actionaction of the “ of the “Spirit Spirit inin” the giving of the ” the giving of the scriptures.scriptures.

All scripture is given by All scripture is given by the “spirit” acting “in” the the “spirit” acting “in” the giving of the scriptures.giving of the scriptures.

5353

The first and only other usage of the word “inspiration” in the Bible is in Job 32:8.

Like many first usages, it defines the word.

It says, “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”

5656

To summarizeThe Bible itself defines “inspiration.”1.) The three parts of in-spir-ation build its

meaning: in spir ation

2.) The first usage of “inspiration” in Job, defines it as the “spirit in”

3.) Jesus said his words were spirit.

5757

We did not need a separate We did not need a separate dictionary to do that. Most of the people of the world have never owned a dictionary, but they may have a Holy Bible. Remember…simple…plain.

5858

One must remember, secular dictionary

definitions are based upon context.

Let’s look at one example

5959

Depending on context the word ‘Save’ can mean:

1.) To accumulate money1.) To accumulate money

2.) Copy computer data to 2.) Copy computer data to a storage mediuma storage medium

3.) preserve a victory3.) preserve a victoryby relief pitcherby relief pitcher

4.) Deliver from sin.4.) Deliver from sin.

6060

Secular dictionaries include the Bible usage along with the secular usage of a word, which cannot be used to define a Bible word.

If Jesus ‘saved’ you from sin,

you cannot say he did it in computer, a baseball field, or a bank.

6161

Since definitions are based upon context-

Why not just get your definitions from the source that the dictionaries use?

Dictionaries take the definition of Bible words from the Bible itself. .

6262

Secular Dictionaries take their Bible definition of inspiration from the

Bible verse 2 Tim. 3:16:

Webster’s 1828 says of “inspiration,”

“The infusion of ideas into the mind by the Holy Spirit” 1 Tim. iii”

‘‘

6363

6666

Even the Greek word Even the Greek word underlying “is given by underlying “is given by inspiration of God” inspiration of God” ((theopneustos) is translated 322 times as

7474

Wycliffe said in the 1300s

““YOU SAY it is heresy to speak of the Holy Scriptures in English. You call me a heretic because I have translated the Bible into the common tongue of the people. Do you know whom you blaspheme? Did not the Holy Ghost give the word of God at first in the mother-tongue of the nations to whom it was addresssed? Why do you speak against the Holy Ghost?” (e.g. Books of Hebrews and James may have been in written in Hebrew.)

7575

Wycliffe said,

“The clergy cry aloud that it is

heresy to speak of the Holy

Scriptures in English, and so they

would condemn the Holy Ghost,

who gave tongues to the Apostles

of Christ to speak the word of God

in all languages under heaven”

“…“…such a charge is such a charge is condemnation of the Holy condemnation of the Holy Ghost, who first gave the Ghost, who first gave the Scriptures in tonguesScriptures in tongues to the to the Apostles of Christ, to speak that Apostles of Christ, to speak that

“No, the Holy Ghost is as much the author of it in Hebrew, Greek, French, Dutch, and English, as in Latin.”

“…the scripture…leaveth no poor man unhelped…And why? because it is given by the inspiration of God”

7878

Why do new versions omit the Holy Spirit and replace it with “breathed”?

7979

With a Bible “given by inspiration of God,” there is then no allowance for new versions or lexical definitions to improve the Holy Bible, as it is the words of the Spirit of God, not just those of a translator, which can be improved upon at any time.

8080

When the words “given by When the words “given by ininspirspiration of God” are ation of God” are retained instead of the NIV retained instead of the NIV reading, “reading, “All scriptureAll scripture,” can be ,” can be “given by” the “given by” the SpiritSpirit of God. of God.

A Breakdown of the words

“All Scripture”

‘‘frontingfronting,’ wherein the ,’ wherein the most important point is most important point is placed at the front of the placed at the front of the sentence. (“sentence. (“AllAll scriptures”)scriptures”)

8686

Does ‘All’ mean ‘the originals from Genesis to Revelation’? Or does ‘All’ include copies and vernacular editions also?

The Bible’s usage of the word “scripture” will answer that question.

8787

God placed the God placed the sole sole verseverse on the inspiration of on the inspiration of scripture in a context scripture in a context identifying the inspired identifying the inspired “scripture” as what a “scripture” as what a grandmother & mothergrandmother & mother had taught to a had taught to a child.”child.” (2 Tim (2 Tim

1:5).1:5).

8888

““From a From a childchild thou has known the thou has known the holy holy scripturesscriptures, which are able to , which are able to make thee make thee wise unto salvationwise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus through faith which is in Jesus Christ.

8989

God placed ‘inspired’ scripture within the easy grasp of all. The context includes:

1.) scriptures accessible to a child2.) scriptures accessible for

doctrine, reproof, etc for all. 3.) scriptures for “good works”

Inspired scriptures are NOT JUST FOR SCHOLARS

9090

““set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church”

1 Cor. 6:4 In 1903 even apostate Philip

Schaff wrote in his critique of the KJB: “…to the great mass of English readers King James’s Version is virtually the inspired word of God” (A Companion to the

Greek N.T., p. 413).

9191

Christians have gotten the impression that the Bible is inspired from their Bibles.

The whole body of Christ could not have gotten the wrong impression.

1 Peter 1:25 says, “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the

gospel is preached unto you.”

9292

Those who read the Bible alone have the impression that it is the very words of God and is inspired.

Only those who have read men’s books, such as theology textbooks and lexicons question its inspiration.

9393

Every usage of the word “scriptures”

refers to copies or translations, not

originals.

9494

Matt. 21:42 Jesus asked, “Did ye never read in the scriptures…”

Mark 12:10 Jesus asked, “have ye not read this scripture…”

Luke 24:45 “opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.”

Jesus said that copies were scriptures:

9595

Jesus said they had scriptures

John 5:39 Jesus said, “Search the scriptures..”

John 2:22 says that “they believed the scripture.”

Matt. 22:29 Jesus said, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures.”

9696

Acts 17:22 the Bereans “searched the scriptures” which were not the originals.

Acts 18:28 Apollos was , “shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.”

9797

Acts 17:2 Paul…reasoned with them out of the scriptures”

(He did not have the O.T. originals).

Rom. 15:4 says that “we through patience and comfort of the scripture might have hope.”

No inspired scripture – no hope.

9898

“All Scriptures” includes

inspiration to all languages

9999

Romans 16:26 speaks of

“the scriptures…made known to all nations”

Remember, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…”

103103

The answer is:

• God speaks “other tongues.”

• In Isaiah 28 God promised:“With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak …saith the Lord” 1 Cor. 14:21

104104

This was fulfilled in Acts 2

“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance…out of every nation under heaven…every man heard them speak in his own language”

105105

• God could have given any ‘gift’ at Pentecost.

• The gift of ‘flying’ would have helped Paul and the disciples, who had been commanded to ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel.’

• God knew that Holy Ghost inspired scriptures were needed.

• The outward signs and wonders to Israel were to be replaced by the abiding of the Spirit in the individual believer.

• God would not deal with a nation, and one language, as he did Israel, but with “whosoever believeth” on Jesus Christ.

• John M. Krinke, Greek professor and author says,

“What are the languages that may be referred to as being inspired?”

• He answers with Acts 2 where “every nation under heaven” “heard them speak in his own language.”

110110

DR. SIGHTLER says, “When the gospel of Christ was preached and written by the apostles, those who heard or read it had nothing less than God’s inspiration, no matter what language they heard or read. He [Krinke] rightly believes that, if inspiration is confined to autographs or faithful apographs of the original languages, we cannot claim God’s promises unless we know those original languages in which God delivered His inspiration, the Bible, to mankind. We must forever be at sea. Scripture is eternal and is given to all, out of every nation.”

111111

• God knew that the Greeks, as a nation, could not bear the responsibility of preserving the word of God, as we shall see. He immediately provided this safety net in Acts 2.

• The Acts 2 “Scriptures in tongues,” as Wycliffe called them, were created directly by the Holy Ghost and were not man-made translations from the Greek.

112112

• “Every nation” would have included scriptures in Latin, Coptic, Gothic, Celtic, Ethiopic, Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, and many other languages.

113113

• Paul said “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all” 1 Cor. 14:18

• Paul, or others who had received the gift of tongues, immediately put the gospels and epistles into all the languages of the world.

• Acts 2 gives no primacy or exclusivity to the Greek language.

• The sign above the cross was in Latin, Hebrew, and Greek, because Greek was not the only language.

115115

• Paul would not speak Greek to the Hebrews in Acts 21, 22 and 26.

• Why would he write the books of Hebrews and James (to the 12 tribes) in Greek only?

116116

The book, Concerning the Genesis of the Versions of the N.T. by world renown scholar and manuscript collator, Herman Hoskier (1910) demonstrates:

1.) Some or all of the first originals may have been in languages other than Greek. (Hebrews in Hebrew, for example).

2.) Multiple language editions were available immediately and were concurrent with Greek editions.

Scriptures were immediately made in Latin and Gothic (Pre-Germanic).

• These two languages brought the gospel to Europe.

121121

The English Bible developed, not from the Greek, but from the original Gothic and Latin, and later from Anglo-Saxon.

Greek was not primary in the origin of most Bibles.

144144

• The Koine Greek New Testament had little use as a medium of comparison and translation from the first century to the 15th century. It was used solely in:

• 1.) Local use in metropolitan areas of the Roman and Byzantine Empire.

145145

2.) As a medium of corroboration by reformation scholars around the 16th century. The Greek manuscripts, which entered Europe, when the Turks conquered Constantinople, merely affirmed what the vernacular Bibles already said. It was a confirming witness, not a textual revolution of lost readings.

146146

3.) Greek was used by Unitarians in the 18th and 19th century to get rid of the deity of Christ via corrupt Greek manuscripts.

4.) Greek is currently being used by Bible critics, as a vehicle to create critical text translations or to impugn the veracity of current Holy Bibles.

147147

The pre-and post-Reformation era’s new access to Greek or Hebrew editions only verified already existing readings for:

insisted that all translations be made from the King James Bible.

Dr. Gutjahr of Stanford UniversityDr. Gutjahr of Stanford University

writes of, “This emphasis on the common English version (the King James Version) as the root translation from which translators had to work..” (An American Bible).

Translating & preserving the

Holy Bible

158158

•WHY we currently cannot rely on Greek or Hebrew manuscripts or printed editions for translation or interpretation ̶

159159

• Some suggest that we must only go to the Greek and Hebrew that the KJB translators had.

• The only printed testimony of what Greek and Hebrew the translators had is the KJB itself. All currently printed editions have problems.

• The KJB not only gives the correct Greek and Hebrew, it translates it perfectly into a language you can understand, correctly translating each word correctly in each context. A lexicon cannot do that.

160160

Let’s examine the Hebrew

Old Testament

161161

The Hebrew Old Testament

• After Christ died, the scribes tampered with Psalm 22:16 in the Hebrew Bibles, changing it from “they pierced my hands and my feet” to “like a lion my hands and my feet.”

• They changed other things.

• See Hazardous Materials for list.

162162

Hebrew BibleHebrew Bible• The vernacular Holy Bibles such as the

Syriac, Latin, and the King James Bible, preserved the true reading of Psalm 22:16 while it was lost in Hebrew for 1900 years.

• It was discovered in one of the Hebrew Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1950s. God preserved it in spite of the Hebrews. The Hebrews will not use the correct reading today.

163163

• Just as in the days of the Old Testament, the Hebrew have temporarily lost their Holy Bible. It is out of print.

• Just as back then, it is preserved by God, every jot and tittle, sitting on a shelf somewhere, waiting for them to return to him.

164164

• The only Masoretic Hebrew Old Testament in print today is printed by the Trinitarian Bible Society.

• It was unfortunately edited slightly by C. Ginsburg, who was a follower of Luciferian, H.P Blavatsky. It is NOT therefore the perfect and inspired word of God in Hebrew.

165165

• Although most of it is correct, no doubt, it’s Hebrew is inaccessible today, outside of its preservation in Holy Bibles, such as the King James Bible, because all Hebrew to English lexicography is based on the words of Brown, Driver, and Briggs, who were arch-heretics.

166166

• Driver joined Westcott, Hort and Vaughan on the RV committee. He was also a higher critic who believed that even the originals were not God-given.

• Briggs was tried for heresy by his liberal Presbyterian church.

• Briggs held secret meetings with the pope, which have just recently been exposed by the Harvard’s Theological Journal.

167167

The Greek New TestamentThe Greek New Testament

• In Revelation, Jesus said that if the Greek speaking churches of Asia Minor did not repent, he would remove their candlestick to holds forth his word, which is the light.

168168

• The Greek manuscripts usually removed the entire book of Revelation because it had this warning against them.

• Other Greek manuscripts take out “which are in Asia” from Rev. 1:11.

• The Greeks removed the Trinity (1 John 5:7), believer’s baptism (Acts 8:37) and other words.

169169

• The book Hazardous Materials lists hundreds of places where the Greek Orthodox church, the creator of the majority of Greek manuscripts, OMITS or changes verses which it does not like.

170170

• The veneration of the Greek manuscripts of this apostate church has become inflated beyond anything directed in the scriptures.

• Many of the 5,700 extant Greek manuscripts are held and esteemed as ‘relics’ in St. Catherine’s monastery, near the Scull house where they keep the sculls of dead monks.

171171

Conclusion:

“Greek manuscripts have historically been no more authoritative than vernacular editions.” (See Hazardous Materials, ch. 30).

172172

• F.H.A. Scrivener’s Greek Textus Receptus, (also called Beza’s) printed by the Trinitarian Bible Society is the closest to the KJB and is therefore used by fundamental schools which teach Greek.

• Few know however, its origin and the problems in this edition, which sometimes make it a false friend.

173173

The Greek manuscripts and editions we now look at to determine the text were often made from vernacular Bibles, not Greek Bibles, editions (See Hoskier’s Concerning the Genesis of the Versions of the N.T.)

174174

Trinitarian Bible Societies Greek TextTrinitarian Bible Societies Greek Text

Those who think that only Greek is inspired would be aghast to find out that the Greek text of Beza underlying the TBS text was created in part as Beza consulted a Latin version of the Syriac Peshitta and a Latin translation of the Arabic N.T..

175175

• Those Fundamental schools which feel that must go to this TBS text to see ‘the original Greek’ may be actually going from:

• Syriac or Arabic into Latin [Tremellius et al.]

• Latin into Greek [Beza]

176176

• The TBS text is not Beza’s exactly, but Scrivener’s.

• Scrivener created it on his assignment as a member of the RV committee to back-translate the KJB into Greek, finding its original Greek source.

177177

This Scrivener did not do in at least 20 (probably more than 60) places, where he exchanged the KJB’s good Greek reading with Beza’s occasionally wrong reading.

• Scrivener pretended that the KJB did not have Greek backing in those places. Hazardous Materials proves that the KJB translators did have Greek backing.

178178

• Therefore, using this TBS Beza-Scrivener-KJB hybrid will only confuse students and lead them to believe that their KJB does not follow ‘the’ Greek text and is therefore NOT INSPIRED!

• The KJB translators said on their title page that they followed the “Originall Greeke” and they did, as documented in Hazardous Materials.

• All Greek-English or Hebrew-English Interlinears are corrupt in their text and in their English interlinear. This includes:

• J.P. Green’s Interlinear

• Zodhiates reference books

• Berry Interlinear

180180

• J.P. Green’s Interlinear is wrongly identified as both Stephanus’ and that of the Trinitarian Bible Society, therefore it contains the errors in those Greek texts.

• Green’s English Interlinear admits that it often has to find the shortest, not the best English word. He says, “where the Greek is short, but the English equivalent is long, a substitution may have been given…”

181181

• Green’s English Interlinear is base upon the corrupt lexicons by Strong, Vine, Trench, Thayer, and Brown, Driver and Briggs.

• Omits the second Jesus in Mark 2:15.

186186

• In 80 places Berry’s Interlinear does not follow the “Original Greek” underlying the KJB.

• The definitions in the back were taken mainly from Unitarian J.H. Thayer and Bible-critic R.C. Trench. The grammar came from Thayer.

187187

• The liberal English interlinear was taken (stolen?) from Thomas Newberry.

• In Newberry’s book, God becomes the Muslim “Ahlah [pronounced Allah].

• Both Berry and Newberry were proponents of the Westcott and Hort text and advertise its manuscript evidence in the footnote.

188188

• The English Interlinear claims to be literal, but it is not.

• For example in Eph. 1:5, Berry’s Greek text only translates half of the word (huio-thesian) which the KJB translates as “the adoption of children.” Newberry does not translate the word meaning ‘children (huios).’

189189

• Newberry thinks the KJB is “imperfectly translated”

• He says, “The Revised Version gives evidence of being the work of men well qualified as scholars for their task…It is certainly much more accurate in text and translation than the older version [ KJV].

190190

All English interlinears are all based on a faulty philosophy.

191191

Greek words have several meaningsGreek words have several meanings

• Only inspiration can determine which context carries which meaning:

• Aion can be ‘world’ or ‘age’

• Pais: can be ‘son’ or ‘servant’ (new versions make Jesus only a servant in Acts 3:13, 26), but the make the noblemen’s child a ‘son’ in John 4:51.

• Pascha: can be ‘passover’ or ‘Easter.’ All modern Greek dictionaries use BOTH English words as a definition of pascha.

• In the Greek Bible in the book of Acts the heathen were described as worshiping the Greek goddess Artemis. (Acts 19:24).

• In the English and all European Bibles, she is called ‘Diana’ because that is the name by which she was known to “all Asia and the world”

193193

• Diana is the Roman goddess which the Roman empire took all over the entire Roman empire (Europe, etc).

• Today in all the world, witches worship ‘Diana.’

• They will not be put under conviction by the new versions which calls her ‘Artemis.’

194194

• Only the Holy Bible, given to the aggregate body of Christ, will judge us on that day says John 12:48.

An individual cannot re-translate it to suit their fancy.

195195

• Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any “private interpretation.” (2 Peter 1:20)

There is one Holy Bible for each language.

• 1 Cor. 12:30, 14:27 says, “Let

one Interpret”

196196

The word “interpreted” in the Bible is ALWAYS used when going from one language to the other (translating).

• Even the Bishop’s Bible says “Emmanuel, which being translated, is God with us” (Matt. 1:23)

197197

• “Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone”

• “Golgatha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull”

• “Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas”

• “Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent)”

198198

• The interpretation, that is, the translation of the Bible, cannot be “private,” like lexicons, interlinears, and man-made dictionaries. It cannot be the wisdom “which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth” (1 Cor. 2:13).

• “Do not interpretations belong to God?” Gen. 40:8
