Those of us who believe the Book (AV 1611) never have any pangs of conscience or qualms of indecision when we read or preach the AV text—in public or in private. We know what we’re reading. We do not “use” the AV; we read it, believe what we read, and expect our congregations to believe it as well. Not so with Alexandrian apostates like Bob Jones III, Stewart Custer, Edward Panosian, Marshall Neal, Fred Afman, James Melton (the BBC professor; not the Tennessee pastor), James Price, Gary Hudson, Curtis Hutson, James White, Doug Kutilek, and Robert Sumner. These men read from a book they call “the Word of God,” while not believing one word in it with which they disagree. They give you the impression that they believe it just like you do, when they don’t. They use it without believing it.

These same men profess to be interested in getting the truth out to you so you won’t be led astray by “Ruckmanism” or “King James Onlyism.” They will go to any length to prove that if you don’t believe what they believe (i.e., that you can lie when you use a Book you don’t believe), that you’re involved in falsehood and a heretical cult. In other words, the Bible believer is a “heretic” for being honest, while the Alexandrian passes himself off as a Bible believer because he is dishonest. That’s how the Alexandrian makes his living.

Now, I will list the places where every man listed above (plus Provan, Hymers, Dell, Jennings, Sherman, Combs, Horton, Hobbs, Farstad, Hodges, Walker, et al.) lied every time any of them read the AV in public, unless they stopped on the average of two times per verse to correct the English with “the original Greek.” If they did not do that, they deliberately deceived their audience (classroom or congregation) into believing they were getting the truth when they weren’t.

You understand that we have no “stress” about this. When we read the Book in those same passages, we know we are giving our listeners the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We don’t have to “call” anything we are reading anything. God already “called” it for us (2 Tim. 3:15–17).

Now here are several examples out of more than 400.

John 9:13—the word “was” is not in any Greek text. So what do these apostates do? They correct the Greek with the English and leave it in.

John 8:21—no one translates the article ho before Jesus, and yet it is in every Greek text.

Matthew 1:18—there is no “with child” in any Greek text from any Greek manuscripts. En gastri literally means “with belly.”

Matthew 6:1—there are no copies of any Greek manuscripts that say “heaven.” The Greek word is plural. Ditto in Matthew 7:21.

Every time these apostate Fundamentalists read Matthew 9:2, 21:28; Mark 2:5, 13:12; Luke 2:48; 1 Timothy 1:2, 18; 2 Timothy 2:1; Titus 1:4; or Philemon 10 to their congregations, they corrected the Greek with the English unless they pointed out that the word “son” was incorrectly translated because the Greek word is teknon (“child”), not huios (“son”).

Those are all cases where every apostate Fundamentalist in America gave you a false reading which he did not believe when he read it in order to convince you he was a Bible believer. He read those verses as they are found in a King James Bible, and in every reference, the King James Bible corrected all Greek manuscripts with English. But when you believe those passages are correct in the King James English, these sorry, low-down, stinking, two-faced reprobates (and I say that with Christian charity) called you a “Ruckmanite” (Hymers), a “heretic” (Hudson), and a member of a “cult” (Bob Jones Jr. and the III). There doesn’t exist on this earth a more two-faced, double-tongued manifestation of hypocrisy unless you went to the Vatican in Rome to find it. 

The men listed above used your Book which you believe, and made you think they believed it when they read it, all the while knowing all the information I gave you above (which I have known for 36 years). Knowing that, they refused to give you the truth of the matter. The truth is that they were correcting all the Greek manuscripts and all the Greek texts every time they read one of those passages out of a King James Bible. The apostates retained a Greek text without believing it, and they used the English text (KJV), without believing it.

Mark 14:41—there is no Greek text that says “Sleep on now, and take your rest.” The Greek text from which the King James was translated says, “katheudete to loipon” (A, C, D, L, W, and some others omit the word loipon), which literally translated means “Fall ye asleep, the remaining” or “Sleep ye, henceforth.” But “Sleep on now, and take your rest”? No way, José! That’s the Authorized Version. Every man-jack listed above corrected all the Greek texts with the KJV English when he preached on the Garden of Gethsemane from a King James Bible unless they went to the Greek and told their audience what it actually said. I’ll lay you odds ten to one that you couldn’t find two men on the list that did that. Every one of them practiced what they call a “cult” or a “heresy” and never batted an eye.

They did it again in Ephesians 1:18. There is “no sech a thang” as “the eyes of your understanding.” The Greek texts read either “tous ophthalmous tes kardias” (“the eyes of your heart”) or “tous ophthalmous tes dianoias” (“the eyes of your mind”). The men above didn’t make the alteration when they quoted the verse; they went by the English of the King James. That is, they corrected all the Greek texts with the English. They are dirty, two-faced hypocrites.

You see, a Bible believer believes the Book as it stands; he doesn’t correct it with anything. Every one of these birds claims the “final court of appeals” is “the Greek text” (or “the original Greek text”). Yet every one of them, over and over again in the Scriptures, corrects all the Greek texts (more than 24 of them) with the King James English while accusing you of “heresy” and being a “cult” when you believe the AV. May the good Lord reward them according to their works (2 Tim. 4:14; Rev. 22:12).

Don’t try to kid those of us who actually believe the Book that you’re a Bible believer when you’re nothing more than a double-tongued apostate. We know a baboon when we see one.
