A Grievous Wolf - Time for Truth

1 Corinthians 4:9
1611 AV1611 Current Cambridge Cameo AV1611
“approved to death”
“appointed to death”
No change in meaning has occurred especially insofar as to be “appointed” an individual has to be “approved.”
The change dates from 1616.
1 Corinthians 12:28
1611 AV1611 Current Cambridge Cameo AV1611
“helpes in gouernmets”
“helps, governments”
A literal rendering of Berry’s TR appears to support the [current] reading, so the change could be typographical.
However, BOTH Editions show that “governments” was a separate gift, Romans 12:8 and that “helpers”
did help those with responsibility for church “government”, such as Paul. See Romans 16:2, 3, 6,
2 Corinthians 11:28, 1 Timothy 3:5. Therefore, both readings would be correct.
The [current] reading simply indicates that “helps” had a wider ministry than helping only in church
government and reinforces Romans 12:8. Most significantly, the variation does NOT involve error, in
EITHER Edition.
The change dates from 1629.
1 John 5:12
The [contemporary] Edition adds “of God” to the second reading of “the Son.” Obviously, this does
NOT alter the meaning of the verse in ANY way. “Theou” or “of God” is found in Berry’s TR and so
the addition* is clearly typographical.
*The words “of God” are not an unwarranted textual addition. They have support from the Received
Text.
Dr Scrivener notes that the addition of “of God” dates from 1629 and was retained in 1638 but omitted
from some subsequent editions until it was firmly established in 1658.
The above 6 examples are typical of those about which Bible rejecters like Grievous Wolf (and Professor
Norton) seek to “overthrow the faith of some” 2 Timothy 2:18.
In sum, the quantity, nature and dates of changes between editions of the AV1611 confirm the conclusion
of the American Bible Society in 1852 that “there is not one which mars the integrity of the text,
or affects any doctrine or precept of the Bible.”” Apart from actual typos, the early AV1611 editions
differed only from the contemporary ones in that they needed some refinement that did not amount to
changes in meaning. No AV1611 edition could therefore be described as either imperfect or not “all
scripture” that “is given by inspiration of God.” Grievous Wolf is gnat-straining again, Matthew
23:24. See Questions 10, 23, 48.
50. Would you contend that God waited until a king named “James” sat on the throne of England before
perfectly preserving His Word in English, and would you think well of an “Epistle Dedicatory” that
praises this king as “most dread Sovereign...Your Majesty’s Royal Person...” – If the historical FACT
was revealed to you that King James was a practicing homosexual all of his life? [documentation – Antonia

people? Can homosexuals take credit for the KJV?
