Are Modern Versions the Same?

Does it really matter which version of the Bible we use? Looking at Jeremiah 36, we see a clear example that no matter how much people try to destroy or change God's Word, God preserves it. The king burned the scroll, but God had it written again—and even added more to it. Man cannot get rid of what God has said, although he seems to never give up trying. In this message we look at many comparisons between the modern versions and the KJV, and it becomes clear that modern versions do not just "say the same thing." They remove verses, change wording, and sometimes even reverse meanings. Many of these changes affect major doctrines like salvation, repentance, and the identity of Jesus Christ. That is not a small issue—it is a serious one. What we should take away from this is that we need to be grounded in a Bible we can fully trust and be able to defend it. This is not just about preference or tradition—it is about whether we truly believe we have the preserved Word of God. And if we do, then we need to hold to it and not treat it as just one version among many.
