The Bible version issue made simple

In simple layman's language, Barry Burton explains the basic issues in the Bible version controversy...and makes it easy to understand why the King James is the only Bible you can trust.

In Let's Weigh The Evidence, you will learn the following:

Origins of the King James Bible
The King James Bible Version is from the Textus Receptus, or Received Text.

Facts About the Vaticanus
It leaves out 237 words, 452 clauses and 748 whole sentences, which hundreds of later copies agree together as having the same words in the same places.

The Unreliability of the Siniaticus
Examined by John Burgon, he writes about the Siniaticus, "On many occasions 10, 20, 30, 40 words are dropped through carelessness. Letters, words or even whole sentences are frequently written twice over, or begun and immediately cancelled; while that gross blunder, whereby a clause is omitted because it happens to end in the same words as the clause proceeding, occurs no less than 115 times in the New Testament."

Westcott and Hort
Read quotes made by Hort: "The old dogmatic view of the Bible therefore, is not only open to attack from the standpoint of science and historical criticism, but if taken seriously it becomes a danger to religion and public morals."

Copyrights
The following versions have copyrights: Revised Standard Version, New American Standard, Living Bible, Good News Bible, New International Bible, New Scofield, and more. According to the New Standard Encyclopedia vol. 3, page 565, the definition of a copyright is, "The legal protection given to authors and artists to prevent reproduction of their work without their consent. The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to print, reprint, publish, copy and sell the material covered by the copyright." By taking out a copyright on a so-called "Bible", the copyright owner admits that this is not "God's Word" but "Their own words."

About Author

Barry Burton

Author Barry Burton explains why he wrote Let’s Weigh The Evidence.

"Around 1982 or 1983 we had been going to a small church in Summerville, Oregon. The church didn't have much of a youth group at the time, maybe 4 to 5 teens. The president of this youth group was very burdened, because of the lack of a Youth Pastor. One day the president of the youth group asked me if I would be their Youth Pastor. The Lord laid it upon my heart to accept his offer, and so I did.

"Over the time of one year the Lord blessed that little youth group from 5 to 35 teens. The greatest blessing was seeing those teens get saved. It was also a great growing time for me in my Christian walk, as well. I thought it would be good to start a newsletter for this youth group. We called it, 'Champions For Christ,' and they were truly Champions. I grew to love those kids so very much. I had started a Bible Study article for this newsletter, and was writing an article about which Bible is the real Word of God? And if there was such a thing, if It was perfect? "The Bible I was referring to as the Perfect Word of God is the King James Version 1611. I had to get the approval of the Pastor to print up this study for the newsletter. He did not approve of the article, and told me he didn't believe that any Bible in any language could be the Perfect, Infallible Word of God. And if I did do this article it would undermine his ministry.

"This broke my heart, because in turn I had to resign from the youth group. I was not allowed to teach that the Word of God is perfect and infallible to those teens.  The Lord put it upon my heart to do a study on His Word anyway. As the Lord led me through this study, he ended up leading me into writing a full fledged book that ended up being published. Praise God! The title of the book is , 'Lets Weigh The Evidence.' Chick Publications published it, and has sold over 150,000 copies. What Satan meant for evil, God turned around for good. The Bible says: I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: (Is.45:2)".
