WHAT ABOUT THE ITALICS?”

 

Dear Reader, King James Bible critics tell us that italics do not belong in the word of God.

 

Exposing their ignorance about translating from one language to another, the Gen Z’s of the Bible world are the presumptuous, opportunistic and religious Johnny-Come-Latelys … as they stumble and fumble at the starting line … can’t get out of the starting blocks … even after the gun has gone off.

 

As six year olds enrolling in Bible school, they stand on their two hind legs to lecture God … the author, teacher and revealer of his word and words.

 

Obviously unable to read and compare, our King James Bible Correctors have immense difficulty in seeing that the actual words of Jesus, Paul, Luke, John and Peter … perfectly match up with Old Testament words and phrases.

 

Yes Dear Reader, it’s called STUDY to show thyself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15).

 

Examples are:

 

 

OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE 

 

 

NEW TESTAMENT QUOTE

 

 

“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” (Deuteronomy 8:3)

 

 

JESUS in Matthew 4:4 quotes Deuteronomy 8:3

 

“But he (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.” (Deuteronomy 25:4)

 

 

PAUL in 1 Timothy 5:18 quotes Deuteronomy 25:4:

 

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. (1 Timothy 5:18)

 

 

 

 

“I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” (Psalm 16:8)

 

 

LUKE in Acts 2:25 quotes Psalm 16:8:

 

“For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:” (Acts 2:25)

 

 

 

 

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” (Psalm 82:6)  

 

JOHN in John 10:34 quotes Psalm 82:6

 

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” (John 10:34)

 

 

 

 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” (Isaiah 28:16)

 

 

PETER in 1 Peter 2:6 quotes Isaiah 28:16

 

“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” (1 Peter 2:6)

 

 

 

So there we have it Folks … John, Paul, Luke, Jesus and Peter all quote the Old Testament words in italics … and this means they were in the scriptures otherwise they would not quote them.

 

God used the Holy Spirit to get the above gentlemen to use that word anyhow … if he didn’t why would Jesus, for example, quote it?

 

Now the following saying is not in the scriptures, but we all know what it means … “There are none so blind as those without the King James Bible.
