The Lamsa Bible Controversy

Revelation 14:4
KJV: "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."
Correction: "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being a firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."
Comments: This verse should be translated with "a firstfruits" because the 144,000 are not all the firstfruits of God.

Revelation 20:4-5
KJV: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
Correction: "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." (New King James Version Bible Translation)
Comments: The last part of verse five, which states "This is the first resurrection." can seem a bit confusing. This verse refers back to "they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." found in verse 4.

Revelation 20:10
KJV: "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Correction: "And the devil that deceived them were cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Comments: Verse 10 of Revelation 20 should state "were cast" into the lake of fire because the beast and false prophet were mortal human beings who were burned up in the lake of fire 1,000 years previous to this time (Revelation 19:20). The point is that Satan will be cast into the same lake of fire into which the beast and false prophet were cast a thousand years previously.

Revelation 22:2
KJV: "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
Correction: "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the health of the nations."

Punctuation mistakes

Luke 23:43
KJV: "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
Correction: "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise."
Comments: This verse has been used by some to claim that Jesus went straight to heaven at His death. The original Greek did not have punctuation marks as we do today. The clarifying comma after "thee" should be moved to after the words "To day." The believing malefactor would be with Christ in the paradise of the redeemed when he was resurrected not right after his death but FAR INTO THE FUTURE as part of the second resurrection of the dead.

Mark 16:9
KJV: "Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils."
Correction: "Now after Jesus had risen, early the first day of the weeks, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. "
Comments: There is a missing implied comma between "risen" and "early." Jesus was NOT resurrected on a Sunday morning. Jesus died on a Wednesday and was resurrected Saturday evening, a FULL three days as was prophecied.

Erroneous Additions

The following additions should be DELETED from the King James Version Bible. These additions were derived from the Latin Vulgate, a Roman Catholic Bible translation created by Jerome in 338 A.D. His translation was based on CORRUPTED Greek texts.

Text to Remove: "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots."

John 8:9-10
Text to Remove: "being convicted by their own conscience . . . unto the last . . . alone . . . and saw none but the woman . . . those thine accusers."
Comments: The correct translation of the verse, based on the Greek text, is:
"But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left with the woman being before him. Jesus lifted himself up and said to her, 'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'"

Acts 9:5-6
Text to Remove: "it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him . . . ."

Text to Remove: "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and . . . which are in Asia"

After seeing these errors of the KJV I have posted, the KJV is still considered the most accurate of any version to date. They should just put these corrections in and release it as the KJV 2012 edition. Why won't anyone? Because of money. To copyright a new bible, it must be 25% different than any other bible. So someone could produce these at a risk of attacks by the KJV onlyists and have other companies also copy it and sell it.
