Total OnslaughtLecture Outline #214
(part 1, 2, & 3)
1.What is the warning that God gives for anyone who adds or
takes away from his word?
Revelation 22:18-19, “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 ___ _________ thatare written in this book:
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 _______
___ _____, and out of the holy city, and from the things which
are written in this book.”
NOTE: We have seen these verses before, and God takes very
seriously the intentional tampering with His Word.
2.How many verse are affected in the modern versions of the
Bible?
ANSWER: NASB > 909; RV > 788; NWT > 767; NIV > 695;
Good News Bible > 614; Amplified Version > 484; Douay 421;
Old Jehovah’s Witnesses Bible > 104; NKJV > 1200
NOTE: It is interesting that the Old Jehovah’s Witnesses Bible
has far more less changes that all of the Modern Versions of
the Bible.

3.What were some of the changes in the early 1900’s to the
Jehovah’s Witness Bible?
ANSWER: Matthew 16:3, Mark 9:46, Mark 16:9-20, John 8:1-11, Acts 8:37, 1 John 5:7, are all omitted.
John 1:1, “In the beginning the Word was , and the Word was
with God, and the Word was a god.” (NWT)
John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God.” (KJV)
4.What were reactions like from some during the late 1880’sabout all these changes to the Word of God?
ANSWER: “By the sole authority of textual criticism these men
have dared to vote away some forty verses of the inspired
Word. The Eunuch’s Baptismal Profession of Faith is gone; and
the Angel of the Pool of Bethesda has vanished; but the Angel
of the Agony remains – till the next Revision. The Heavenly Witnesses have departed, and no marginal note mourns their
loss. The last twelve verses of St. Mark are detached from the
rest of the Gospel, as if ready for removal as soon as Dean
Burgon dies. The account of the woman taken in adultery is
placed in brackets, awaiting excision. Many other passages
have a mark set against them in the margin, to show that
like forest trees, they are shortly destined for the critic’s axe.
Who can tell when the destruction will cease?” That was in1881, when they had just started revising the Bible. Isn’t that
incredible?” Dublin Review, 1881
NOTE: That was in 1881, when they had just started revising
the Bible. Isn’t that incredible? This was early on, when only
forty some odd verses were affected. Today we have Bibles
with hundreds and hundreds of changes!
5.What do modern scholars have to say about the Textus
Receptus?
ANSEWR: When Eberhard Nestle, in 1898, presented the first
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/214-changing-the-word 4/20
4
edition of Novum Testamentum Graece, he had achieved a
work of which the consequences were not only unknown to
him at the time, but also to the Wurtenberg Bible Society that
made the edition possible. “If the Textus receptus at that timestill had a number of defenders, the science, the science of the
19th century had however, finally proved it to be the worst
text of the New Testament. There the editions of Tischendorf,
finalized…Westcott and Hort who came in 1881, controlled
the field. But in practiced terms at the level of university, church
and school, the edition of the Textus receptus was still largely
used internationally as for example by the British Bible Society
till 1904. Only with the release of the Nestle text did the rule of
the Textus receptus come to an end here also.”
NOTE: Irrespective of the changes, the British didn’t give in that
easily. So the Bible, the Textus receptus, that had stood the test
of time until 1900, was now suddenly the worst text available,
according to them.
6.Who was Origen?
ANSWER: “The received text (textus recepticus) is the Byzantine
text with hundreds of copies in agreement. It was written in
koine Greek, written in koine Greek of which hundreds of words
cannot be translated into classical Greek. The early Church
used koine Greek manuscripts and rejected the Alexandrian
versions which were based on the corrupt version with Origenand other Gnostic revisions.”
“Origen taught that Jesus was a created being who did not
have eternal existence as God.” (Encyclopedia Britannica,
Volume 16, 1936, pg, 900-902)
NOTE: So that’s the basis. If you want to have an ecumenicalBible, you have to remove Jesus Christ as the sole Savior and as
God. It has to be done.
7.What did Albert Pike, write in Morals and Dogma concerning
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/214-changing-the-word 5/20
5
Origen?
ANSWER: “This doctrine of transmigration of souls
(reincarnation), obtained, as Porphyry informs us, among thePersians and the Magi. It was held in the East and the West and
that from the remotest antiquity. Herodotus found it among
the Egyptians, who made the term the circle of migrations
from one human body, through animals, fishes, and birds, to
another human body three thousand years…The Curds, The
Chinese, the Kabbalists, all held the same doctrine. So Origen
held, and the Bishop Synesius, the latter of whom had been
initiated, and who thus prayed to God: “O Father, grant that
my soul, reunited to the light, may not be plunged again into
the defilements of earth!” “So the Gnostics held, and even the
Disciples of Christ, inquired if the man who was born blind, was
not so punished for some sin that he had committed before his
birth.” Morals & Dogma, pg. 399
NOTE: Now that’s typical how Freemasons distort the Word.Did the disciples enquire that? Let’s ask them. John 9:2, “And
the disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or
his parents, that he was born blind?” Not “this man in this life”
or in his previous life, or his parents. So, you know, everything is
a distortion, you cannot trust anything these people say.
“Born A.D. 134, answering Celsus, who had objected that the
Christians had a concealed doctrine said, ‘Inasmuch as theessential and important doctrines and principles of Christianity
are openly taught, it is foolish to object that there are other
things that are recondite;’” ‘for this is common to Christian
discipline with that of those philosophers in whose teaching
some things are exoteric,’ and some esoteric.’ And it is enough
to say that it was so for the disciples of Pythagoras.’” Morals &
Dogma, pg. 544
NOTE: So here he’s talking about initiation, about insiders
being initiated. So Origen believed in two doctrines. One for
the outside and one for the inside. So he was an occultist.

“Origen gives much information as to the Mysteries of the
Ophites; and there is no doubt all the Gnostic sects had
Mysteries and an initiation. They all claimed to possess a secretdoctrine, coming to them directly from Jesus Christ, different
from that of the Gospels and Epistles, and superior to those
communications, and superior, which in their eyes, were merely
exoteric.”
Morals & Dogma, pg. 542
NOTE: So, it is very obvious that Origen in Secret Orders and
propagated two doctrines one for the outsiders, “the cattle,”
and one for the super-intelligent illuminated insiders.
8.Did Jesus believe in secrecy?
Matthew 13:35, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will
_____ things ______ ______ been ______ ________ from thefoundation of the world.”
NOTE: The work of Jesus was to reveal not to hide and
conceal.
9.What else does the Bible have to say about secret
initiations?
Isaiah 45:19, “I have not spoken in _______, in a _____ place
of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in
vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are
right.”
Isaiah 48:16, “Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not
_______ ___ _______ from the beginning; from the time thatit was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath
sent me.”
Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he _____
__ his _______ unto his servants the prophets.”

NOTE: We know very clearly from the Bible that David killed
Goliath, not Elhanan.
2 Samuel 23:5, “Is not my house right with God?” (NIV)2 Samuel 23:5, “Although my house be not so with God;”
(KJV)
NOTE: They turned the verse here around. Opposite of its
intended meaning.
Hosea 11:12, “And Judah is unruly against God, even against
the faithful Holy One.” (NIV)
Hosea 11:12 > “but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful
with the saints.” (KJV)
NOTE: You see, God had said Ephraim has left me, Israel has
left me, but Judah is still with me. Satan does like that so he
says that all of them were against God. That’s a little change,
you know, it’s minor, yet it’s quite important. You’re either withGod or you’re against God.
Matthew 5:44, “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray
for those who persecute you,” (RSV)
Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
(KJV)
NOTE: Over half of the verse is removed here.
Matthew 18:11, “For the Son of man has come to save that
which is lost.” (KJV)
Omitted: (RSV), (NIV) (put in the footnotes)
NOTE: Don’t you think that’s an important text? I think it’s
a very important text. Why is it gone in the Revised Standard
Version? Because is not supposed to be the only Savior. We’re
supposed to be able to save ourselves, doesn’t Masonry teach
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word

us that? It teaches that we don’t need Jesus.
Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first and the first last.”
(RSV)Matthew 20:16, “So the last shall be first, and the first last; for
many be called, but few are chosen.” (KJV)
NOTE: Here it makes a difference. Here it is important to
choose, to choose right.
Matthew 20:22,23, “You don’t know what you are asking,”
Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to
drink?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will
indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or let is not for
me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have
been prepared by my Father.” (NIV)
Matthew 20:22, 23, “But Jesus answered and said, Ye know
not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink
of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it
shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.”
(KJV)
NOTE: Here the suffering that the Christian sometimes has toendure for the sake of Christ is removed.
Matthew 25:13, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the
day nor the hour.” (RSV)
Matthew 25:13, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not
know the day or the hour.” (NIV)
Matthew 25:13, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” (KJV)
NOTE: Here the KJV is the only logical option. The RSV and NIV
are both so ambiguous it could be spiritualized into meaning
anything you would want it to mean.

Mark 2:17, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
(RSV)
Mark 2:17, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
(NIV)
Mark 2:17, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.” (KJV)
NOTE: In the King James, Jesus is calling sinners to something,
to repentance. In the others, he is just calling them. He could
be calling them to do anything.
Mark 6:11, “And if any place will not receive you and they refuse
to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your
feet for a testimony against them.” (RSV)
Mark 6:11, “And whosever shall not receive you, nor hear you,
when you depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for
a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be moretolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
than for that city.”
NOTE: Why do you think that verse has been removed? Why
do you think they’ve removed the verse that says it will be
more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha? Because they do not
believe in a judgment.
Mark 10:21, “and come, follow me.” (RSV)
Mark 10:21, “then come, follow me.” (NIV)
Mark 10:21, “and come, follow me.” (ASV)
Mark 10:21, “and come, take up the cross, and follow me.”
(KJV)
NOTE: What’s the difference between those two? There is across to bear when you become a Christian. There is a change
in life and there is a cross to bear, and that is Christianity.
Mark 10:24, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/214-changing-the-word 11/20
11
God!” (RSV)
Mark 10:24, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom
of God.” (NIV)
Mark 10:24, “Children, how hard it is for them that trust inriches to enter the kingdom of God!” (KJV)
NOTE: What’s the difference between those too? Well here,
you might as well give up from the beginning and reincarnate a
few times. Here, better not get rich, better give all your money
away. Here? Money’s not the problem, it’s making an idol of
money that’s the problem. You can be rich, and you can do a
lot of good for the Lord God. So, the King James in the only
here that makes any sense.
Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
among men with who he is pleased!” (RSV)
Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.” (KJV)
NOTE: Now what’s the difference between those two? It’s
a very subtle change, but what is the change? Here there is
an initiated few with whom he is pleased. There, God is for
everyone. You will notice that in all these changes to character
of God is expressly attacked. So, it is more than just a few
words changed and jumbled around, but it is a direct assault
on the character of God.
Luke 4:4, “And Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone.’” (RSV)
Luke 4:4, “Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man does not live by
bread alone.’” (NIV)
Luke 4:4, “And Jesus answered him saying, It is written, That
man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”
NOTE: It is fairly obvious why this change was made.
2 Timothy 3:16, “Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable
for teaching.” (ASV)

NOTE: In the first one there is no obedience implied, not even
a mention of the commandments of God. In the second one,
the commandments seem to be the focal point of the entire
verse. Which one do you think is the most logical?
Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answering him said to him, It is written,
Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou
serve.” (Douay)
Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answered him, It is written, You shall
worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.”
(RSV)
Luke 4:8, “Jesus answered, It is written. Worship the Lord your
God and serve him only.” (NIV)
Luke 4:8, “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee
behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
NOTE: All of them leave something out. What do they leave
out? “Get ye behind me, Satan.” Why do they leave thatout? The expression, “get thee behind me, Satan,” was early
omitted because Jesus used the same expression later to Peter,
in Matthew 16:23, to rebuke the apostle.
They wouldn’t want the same spirit to be confused because
this has something to do with the doctrine of Peter eventually
becoming a Pope. It’s quite a complex issue but there’s a good
reason why they took it out.
SABBATH
Acts 13:42, “And as they went out, they desired them that on
the next Sabbath they would speak unto them these words.”
(Douay)
Acts 13:42, “As they went out, the people begged that these
things might be told them the next Sabbath.” (RSV) Acts 13:42, , “As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,
the people invited them to speak further about these things on
the next Sabbath.” (NIV)
Acts 13:42, “And when the Jews were gone out of the
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/214-changing-the-word 15/20
15
synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be
preached to them the next Sabbath.” (KJV)
NOTE: You see, in the King James, it says, “and when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue.” What does that mean? It
means that he was preaching to the Jews, and then the Gentiles
came and said, “Will you preach this to us next Sabbath?” That
means that the Gentiles were willing to come on the Sabbath.
Now, if you take the Jews out there, then it’s not Saturday
necessarily. If it’s just “they” it could be an ecumenical meeting
and Sabbath could be any day. But linking it to the Jews it
would definitely be Saturday.
ATTACK ON PROTESTANTISM
John 5:39 , “You search the scriptures, because you think that
in them you have eternal life…” (RSV)
John 5:39, “You diligently study the Scriptures because you
think that by them you possess eternal life…” (NIV)
John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye haveeternal life…” (KJV)
NOTE: On this point the Dublin Review, notice this, a Catholic
newspaper or article, July 1881, says the following, “But perhaps
the most surprising change of all is John 5:39. It is no longer
‘Search the Scriptures,’ but ‘Ye search,’ and thus Protestantism
has lost the very cause of its being.”
PURGATORY
Luke 1:72, “To show mercy to our fathers.” (RSV, NIV)
Luke 1:72, “To perform the mercy promised to our fathers”
(KJV)
NOTE: Now they can show mercy to the fathers which
suggests that we can pray to the dead. Can I pray to the dead? Apparently yes with the RSV & NIV.
1 Peter 4:6, “For this is why the gospel was preached even to
the dead…” (RSV)
8/14/2019 214-Changing the Word
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/214-changing-the-word 16/20
16
1 Peter 4:6, “For this is the reason the gospel was preached
even to those who are now dead.” (NIV)
1 Peter 4:6, “For this cause was the gospel preached also to
them that are dead…” (KJV)
NOTE: Now, what does that mean? Well here, in the King
James, was the gospel preached to those who are dead? Sure!
In the past, the gospel was preached to those who are dead
now. Here, in the other translations, it is still being preached to
the dead.
Job 26:5,“They (‘the shades’ margin) that are deceased tremble
beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.”
Job 26:5, “The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the
waters and all that live in them.” (NIV)
Job 26:5, “Dead things are formed from under the waters, and
the inhabitants thereof.” (KJV)
NOTE: Here we see purgatory in the newer versions.
2 Peter 2:9, “…unrighteous for the day of judgment, while
continuing their punishment.” (NIV)
2 Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out
of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of
judgment to be punished.” (KJV)
NOTE: In the King James, the punishment is a future act. Inthe NIV, the punishment is an act in the present.
THE DIRECT ATTACK ON JESUS CHRIST
Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel.” (RSV)Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel.” (KJV)

1 Timothy 3:16, “Beyond all question, the mystery on godliness
is great: He appeared in a body.” (NIV)
1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery
of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,” (KJV)
NOTE: Do you see how they systematically reduce Jesus, and
how they take him out of the gospels? It’s a shame, it’s a
crying shame.
11.What should we do with Jesus?
1 Kings 18:21, “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said,
How long halt ye between ___ _________? If the LORD be
God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people
answered him not a word.”
MY DECISION FOR JESUS…
I understand that I am not saved by a Bible Version, and I also
understand that the King James Version isn’t the only version
I can use, but I am now aware of some of the changes in the
NIV and RSV. I realize that I need to study closer, and make
sure that these things are so. Do you wish to covenant with
God for regular Bible study and prayer? Yes or No
