The Bible Quiz, you ready with your modern version?

I got questions,

but do you have the answers

With your modern Bibles?

by Mike Hernandez

As part of our series in exposing the differences with the modern versions of the Bibles, we have put together a short quiz to help show you a small sampling of what we have found. There are literally thousands of changes in these modern versions, and in some cases entire verses have been removed.

However, some modern Bibles do have extensive footnotes, while others have none, and, if you are unfortunate and own a copy without footnotes or cross references in them, then you will have no way of knowing what has been removed, or in some cases added.

This also applies to computer bible software and online reading.

In addition, some of these changes are downright dangerous, and as the bible clearly states:

Revelation 22:18-19 KJV (18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Before you begin, please grab a hard copy of your bible in order to see if you can answer the followings questions from the listed verses alone.

For this exercise please use any modern Bible such as; NASB, NIV, ESV, TNIV, RSV. Click here to read the entire article…

NIV, of God or of the Devil?

This is a long Article, But worth it!

Verse Comparison in second half of article!

As of late, our team here at the Chronicle Watch has been researching the different Bible versions that exists on the market today.  We have been buying and comparing multiple copies of different versions verses by verse.   As we find the differences, we take note then dive down into the Greek and Hebrew meaning of the words in order to understand the differences of translation.

In addition to the changes that we find, we have also been encountering section of verses stripped completely out of certain Bibles ( more on this later ).

One issue we will be sharing with you shortly is about  is a Professor named Virginia Ramey Mollenkott who has advocated for LGBT rights and Christian feminism.   In addition, she has also contributed major studies on the feminine imagery for God in the Bible, and is in support of gender inclusive language for the scriptures.

With that being said, Virginia Ramey Mollenkott also served as a stylistic consultant for the New International Version of the Bible and is an active member of the Evangelical and Ecumenical Women’s Caucus and Christian Lesbians OUT.

What we would like to share with you now is some interesting information we came across by an author by the name of Carl Graham.

Before you start, make sure you have a copy of your Bible in hand in order to cross reference everything you come across in any of the articles we post in regards to the scriptures. Click here to read the entire article…

Which Translation of the Bible do you read?

Which version of the Bible do you read and why?

Comments wanted

By Mike Hernandez

With all the variations modern Bible translations in society today, we here at The Chronicle Watch are curious as to which version of the Bible each of you read and why?

This question stems from a new project we here at The Chronicle Watch have started to undertake in order to get a deeper understanding of God’s word (hence the lack of posting from the guys at TCW) and some of our findings have been astonishing to say the least, especially with the different translations of the modern day Bibles.

I Love the World, Yet I’m a Christian

No, that makes you a liar.

by Mr. H

Over these last few weeks I have been hearing from far too many so-called Christians that it is acceptable to use modern day speech; speech that is laden with the world, speech that is vulgar and crude, speech one would not use in front of their grandmother, yet, speech they have no issues using in front of their co-workers, friends or strangers even though they proclaim to be followers of Jesus Christ.

Men, are you following God?

As we sit and listen to the following video of Paul Washer I want each one of you who profess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior to think about these questions:

Are you truly following God?

Are you doing His will ^{1 John 2:17} or your own?

Do you pick up the cross daily ^{Luke 9:23} ?

They are going down to hell by the thousands

Young men and old men, and sisters of all ages, if you love the Lord, get a passion for souls, Do you not see them? They are going down to hell by the thousands.

- Charles Spurgeon

When I came across the above quote it reminded me of the state of the church today in America and how too many Christians have forgotten that the way is narrow and few will find it, yet broad is the way that leads to destruction – which is how too many of us so called Christians act and live as we walk broadly right into destruction every single day.

Matthew 7:13-14 NIV “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. (14) But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

When we understand that the road is narrow, we must then realize that if we are truly followers of Christ we must then strive with each step we take to stay the narrow path. Yes, we will slip, but the question is, do we repent when we slip and do we pick back up the cross again, or do we follow the ways of the world and only profess Christ when it suits our needs?

Creation ( Day Three )

Let’s examine two words in the above verses; dry land and seas. What exactly was created?

Dry Land

Genesis 1:10 God^H430 called^H7121 the dry^H3004 land^H3004 earth^H776, and the gathering^H4723b of the waters^H4325 He called^H7121 seas^H3220…

H3004

yab-baw-shaw’
A feminine noun meaning dry land. This word can be an adjective as well. In all uses, it is contrasted with water. It often describes land formerly covered with water…

This land is in the same condition as when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea with Moses when leaving their bondage in Egypt. The waters were parted and they walked on the dry land [H3004]

Seas

Next we will look at the word seas as defined in verse 10 and learn what was considered as the seas.

H3220

yawm
From an unused root meaning to roar; a sea (as breaking in noisy surf) or large body of water; specifically (with the article) the Mediterranean; sometimes a large river, or an artificial basin; locally, the west, or (rarely) the south: – sea (X -faring man, [-shore]), south, west (-ern, side, -ward).

The seas also include the rivers that run into the seas, the surf, the wave breaks, ocean boundaries and shorelines. When you think about this it in these terms you can see that this was quite an amazing thing that has happened. God commands the waters where to stop; how far the ocean waves are allowed to travel up along the shores, where they will stop, and the distance they can travel from continent to continent. After the dry land ( earth ) and the seas were created, God then created the vegetation and seed bearing plants and trees.

At this point, the earth now contains has rivers and oceans, as well seed bearing plants, fruit trees, food and vegetation^H1877. What is considered vegetation?

H1877

deh’-sheh
From H1876; a sprout; by analogy grass: – (tender) grass, green, (tender) herb.

Day three complete!

Keep an eye out for day’s four to seven!

Christianity Without Prayer is Dead

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. – Martin Luther ^[1]

How many of us pray on a daily basis? How many of us have a personal relationship with God our Father in heaven asking Him to guide us with every step we take, with every word we speak?

Without pray He cannot guide us as we are not going to Him to let our request be known.

We must seek the Lord Jesus earnestly at all times – continually. Without devoting our lives to Christ, then what are we really doing?

Every day we should pray, and teach the gospel to everyone.

There is only one true God, the God of Israel and the only way to salvation is through His one and only Son Jesus.

Let’s get out there and teach the word of God, and pray that He will give us the strength and wisdom to do it!

Creation ( Day Two )

Verse 6

Let’s take a closer look at the word expanse in the above verse:

Genesis 1:6 …”Let there be an expanse^H7549

H7549

raw-kee’-ah

From H7554; properly an expanse, that is, the firmament or (apparently) visible arch of the sky: – firmament.

H7554

raw-kah’

A primitive root; to pound the earth (as a sign of passion); by analogy to expand (by hammering); by implication to overlay (with thin sheets of metal): – beat, make broad, spread abroad (forth, over, out, into plates), stamp, stretch.

Here we can see that in verse six God created a separation in the middle of the waters that separated them, like a skilled craftsman working majestically with his hands, He separated the waters into the heavens and the waters below.

Verse 7-8

What exactly does heaven encompass as specified above? Let’s dive back into the Hebrew text to see!

Genesis 1:8 …God^H430 called^H7121 the expanse^H7549 heaven^H8064

H8064

shaw-mah’-yim, shaw-meh’

The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve): – air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

Here we see that heaven refers to the sky that we see above; clouds, sky and the atmosphere / space; the universe – the heavens!

And all this beautiful work of God was created on day two.

Days three to seven still to come !
