Thank God for King James. Although many people call it the King James Bible he still didn't own it, it's not his. It's his version of the Bible. He demanded that the Bible should be translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek language in its entirety. It was done by scholars back in the 17th century, year 1644.
The Catholic Church has been out there for thousands of years. It ruled through the Roman Empire for over 1200 years. If the Bible was a fake book, what were they hiding it from? What for? From the truth or a lie?
The Catholic Church changed her Bible as well. It was not convenient for them to have the chapter 20 of the book of Exodus saying that God does not prove the worship of images (Idolatry) and false gods. So, the Catholics changed the first commandment by replacing it with the words Jesus spoke 2000 years later. "Love God above all things and love you brethren as to yourself." God did not mention such a thing in His law. It was not the time of Grace yet! They forgot though that the Psalm 115 mentions that the images are wrong. And they erased another further verse in the middle of the ten commandments turning it into two. Let them try to change Judges 6, Isaiah, Daniel and Jeremiah, and so on...Many times often Israel was punished for worshiping idols and idolatry.
The Jehovah Witnesses changed 5 John verse 7 replacing it with the last sentence from verse 6 and skipping the true text to verse 8 only to erase the holy trinity from the Bible.
Compare: (New World Translation) verse 7 "And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."
Verse 8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
(King James Version) verse 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one,
verse 8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
Everybody's Bible talk about the three witnesses in heaven, but theirs. How exclusive they are!
This why you should not follow religions, or denominational churches, or their doctrines, but Jesus Christ, the Bible, the one without religion.
The Christian doctrine is the Word of God that feeds your soul.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 16:4) KJV
