“THIRTEEN REASONS NOT TO USE
THE LIVING BIBLE (TLB)”
“THIRTEEN REASONS NOT TO
USE
THE LIVING BIBLE (TLB)”
At the judgment
seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Romans 14:10), don’t be
caught out
unawares trying to invent excuses on the spot, as to why you loved the LIVING
BIBLE (TLB)
Don’t be
tongue tied!
Start
practicing your answers before you get there before you get there!
The following
points may help you.
Reason
#1 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE LB STATES THAT ANY OLD LAMB
WOULD DO
“God will see
to it, my son, Abraham replied, and they went on.” (Genesis 22;8 TLB)
But the King
James Bible states …
And
Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so
they went both of them together.
(Genesis 22:8 KJB)
The TLB
denies that God would be the lamb … outrageous!
The King James
Bible makes it rock solid and 100% crystal clear that God himself
will
be the lamb …
How?
In the person
of Jesus Christ who will be God manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16)
Reason
#2 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE LB
SAYS HIS BLOOD IS NOT IMPORTANT
Your LB
says: “who bought our freedom with his blood
.” (Colossians 1;14)
Let’s read
what
the King James Bible says …
“In whom we have
redemption through his blood …” (Colossians
1:14)
Quite a
difference wouldn’t you think? If you were Satan, you’d certainly want
to eliminate Christ’s blood as payment for sins
wouldn’t you?
Furthermore,
freedom is not redemption … but mere temporary security.
See? You could
lose it because you are not redeemed!
Don’t let
Jesus push you around! Stand up for what you believe is right!
Don’t you
worry about something insignificant like the redemption found with
blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ!
But … you’ll
have Rome’s modern scholarship on your side with the Vaticanus
and Sinaiticus
manuscripts … to wave in the face of Jesus at his judgment seat.
Furthermore,
we are made free not just set free (John 8:33; Romans
6:18).
Made free?
Can’t be captured again … you have eternal security.
Set free? No
eternal security.
The King James
Bible gives exactly the reasons we have been made free … the Living
Bible does not.
Reason
#3 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE LB DENIES HE IS THE SON OF GOD
Let’s read
what Acts
Ready?
“___________________________” (Acts
Now let’s read
how this verse reads in the King James Bible –
“And Philip
said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God.” (Acts 8:37
When you stand
before the Lord to be judged, you will want to let him know that you
didn’t
think it important that he was and is, and is to come … the Son of God,
thereby
making him equal with God and therefore God himself.
Reason
#4 YOU TELL JESUS THE LB SAYS
IT’S NOT IMPORTANT TO STUDY HIS WORD.
Let’s read
what the LB says about this:
“Work
hard …” (2 Timothy 2;15 LB).
Have a go (LB),
that’s the main thing.
Get stuck in
and God will do the rest (LB)!
Let’s see what
the King James Bible says:
“Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2Tim 2:15
Don’t you
worry about rightly dividing the word of
truth or studying it, just try
to handle the word of truth as best you can … with a lot of effort also.
Near enough is
good enough I say, don’t you?
Don’t forget,
you always get to tell God what you thought was more important than his
words.
Reason
#5 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THAT JUST KEEPING AWAY FROM EVIL IS
WHAT HE
MEANT TO SAY (LB)
“Keep away
from every kind of evil”
(1
Thessalonians 5;22 LB)
The King James
Bible says …
“Abstain from
all appearance of evil” (1Thessalonians 5:22 KJB)
If you can’t
understand the difference, may I humbly suggest that you get a
Dictionary and study
the difference between ‘kind’ and ‘appearance’.
In
mathematical terms, ‘appearance’ is a subset of ‘kind’.
“Look Lord,
what I did was a sin … but the courts let me go, because there was no
appearance of impropriety.”
Reason
#6 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THAT IT’S EASIER TO GET OUT OF A
NARROW
JACKET THAN A STRAIT JACKET … NEAR ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH
The LB says “Heaven
can be entered only through the narrow gate”
(Matthew 7;13 LB)
That is … God
will let good sinners into heaven but not bad ones … you
know … 50% pass mark will do!
Once again
Dear Reader,
‘strait’ is a subset of ‘narrow’ but
not vice versa … that is … all that is strait is narrow, but all that
is narrow
is not strait.
Reason
#7 YOU’LL BE ABLE TO TELL JESUS THE LB SAYS
THAT NO-ONE CAN KNOW THEY ARE SAVED WITH ETERNAL SECURITY
The LB
says … “I know how foolish it sounds to those who are lost, when they
hear that
Jesus died to save them. But we who are saved recognize this message
as
the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1;18 LB)
The focus of
the LB is on the message not the preaching.
But the King
James Bible says …
The King James
Bible says “For the PREACHING of
the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which ARE
SAVED
it is the power of God.” (1Corinthians 1:18).
The LB has avoided
the point … it’s not the message … it’s the
PREACHING
of the message that is
foolish
Firstly, the
message is not nonsense to
the unsaved, but the preaching of the
cross is!!!
No! No! No!
The great unwashed don’t mind the story of Christ’s death on
the cross, but they highly object to it being preached to them on the
street.
As a street preacher, I hear “SHUT
UP!” every now and then.
People just
hate the
message of the cross being preached.
Reason
#8 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE LB
SAYS HE DIDN’T HAVE A VIRGIN BIRTH
Don’t get
upset, just read what your LB says …
“Joseph and
Mary
marveled at what was said about him.” (Luke 2;33 LB).
Was Joseph his
father” Was Mary his mother?
The King James
Bible clears up any doubt whatsoever that Jospeh was not
his father but Mary was his mother.
“And Joseph
and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken
of him.” (Luke 2:33).
Rome has had
centuries as the master scripture twisters … sophists of the
highest order.
Reason
#9 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE LB SAYS HIS FATHER, THE HOLY GHOST AND
HIM AREN’T ONE
Your LB has
bits missing … “There are three witnesses”
(I John 5;7)
The King James
Bible says “For there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and
these three are one.” (1 John 5:7).
First off, you
can tell Jesus that the LB says that he is not one with
God and
not God.
Second, ditto
for the Holy Ghost.
Third, a record
is infinitely more powerful than a witness … it’s a fact.
Fourth, the LB
denies the Godhead of three persons (Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 2:9;
Romans
1:20)
Now for verse
8 in the LB …
“the Spirit,
the water and the blood; and all three give the same testimony.” (1John
5;7-8 LB)
The King James
Bible states …
“And
there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water,
and the
blood: and these three agree in one. (1 John 5:8 KJB)
These three do
not simply give the same testimony … which they do … they are one.
You will
notice how the LB has condensed the two verses into one.
Why? To deny
that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh (1Timothy
3:16).
Why? So that
Rome can declare itself to be God on earth.
Reason
#10 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE LB
SAYS THAT EVERYONE GETS SAVED
Your LB
says “By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth
will bring
their glory into it.” (Revelation 21:24)
The King James
Bible says “And the nations of them which
are saved shall walk in the light of it:” (Revelation 21:24)
Big difference
wouldn’t you think?
Reasons
#11 YOU’LL TELL JESUS THE LB DENIES
HE CAME TO SAVE THE LOST
Turn to Matthew
Can’t find the
verse in your Living Bible?
Correct, it
has been left out.
Let’s turn to
the King James Bible which says …
“For the Son
of man has come to save that which was lost.” (Matthew 18:11).
Wow! A very
significant verse one would think?
“Help me
please! Where can I find salvation?”
Check out Mark
9;44.
Oops! Not
there in your LB? Correct? It’s been left out!
Let’s turn to
the King James Bible …
“Where their
worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched.” (Mark 9:44)
The LB
says
that there is no hell … and no fire in hell.
Wow! I wonder
what Jesus died for … if not to save us from God’s wrath of the
everlasting
fires in hell.
In fact, your
LB has no mention of hell at all from cover to cover!
Reason
#13 YOU CAN TELL JESUS THE LB IS
PRO-SODOMY AND THAT YOU PREFER THE BIBLE THAT THE SODOMITES
USE
The word
“sodomy” is not used once in the LB … as a lesbian writing
consultant
plus the sodomite head of the OT translation committee, put a word
vacuum
cleaner through the King James Bible.
IN CONCLUSION…
Ah Dear
Reader, at the judgment seat of Christ, you’ll be able to hear a pin drop … it’ll
be that quiet … and you’ll be speechless!
Your beloved LB
will be cast into the lake of fire despite your affection for it.
