4 - KJB - Reasons to Believe the King James Bible - David O'Steen

May 5, 2021 The King James Bible5/5/21 - David O'Steen - https://www.hopebiblechurchga.comThe pastor, David O'Steen from Hope Bible Church, delivers a sermon titled "KJB (4) - Reasons to Believe the King James Bible." He argues that the King James Bible (KJB) is the true, inspired, and perfectly preserved Word of God for English speakers.He begins by stressing that genuine faith rests on trusting God's Word, citing examples like Abraham and the "infallible proofs" of Christ's resurrection in Acts 1 (contrasting the KJB's wording with modern versions' weaker "convincing proofs").Key reasons he gives for believing the KJB include:It exalts Jesus Christ more fully (e.g., retaining "through his blood" in Colossians 1:14, omitted in many modern translations).It has no proven errors after over 400 years and is perfect/pure.It enables proper Bible study through "rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).It is powerful, convicting sinners, fruitful in missions, and shows divine design (e.g., intricate patterns and cross-references).It is received by common people and heavily attacked—evidence of its divine authority (Isaiah 40:8).Modern versions corrupt doctrine (e.g., altering phrases like "faith of Christ"), lack power, and align with liberalism.He praises the KJB's Elizabethan English as accessible, non-copyrighted, and truly "the people's Bible." The sermon closes with a call to renewed commitment to the KJB as God's living, preserved Word.
