Seeing I just found out why the Christian Forum program/website doesn't highlight verse addresses for Acts as it does the other books of the Bible, (the English: America Standard Version being used calls that book "Acts of the Apostles") I thought I would write this blog
for my own sake to test the E:ASV with some of the 200 verses that can be used to test modern versions in comparison to the KJV. So often modern versions are based on one group of ancient manuscripts that leave out words that pertain to the deity, blood, cross, Lordship, and Virgin Birth of Christ, key doctrines that a "school" of ancient translators did not strongly adhere to. Some have changed Psalms 12:7 so that it is not referring to the preservation of God's Word, but to the preservation of God's people.
ADDRESS ENGLISH: AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION
Psalms 12:7 Retains preservation of the words of God.
1 John 5:7 Omits "the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost"
Colossians 1:14 Omits "through his blood"
Proverbs 18:24 Changes meaning from "shew himself friendly"
Romans 1:3 Omits "Jesus Christ our Lord"
1 Thessalonians 1:1 Omits "from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."
Galatians 4:7 Omits "through Christ"
Ephesians 3:9 Omits "of Christ" Changes "fellowship" to "dispensation"
Changes "beginning of the world" to "ages"
Ephesians 3:14 Omits "of our Lord Jesus Christ"
2 Timothy 4:22 Omits "Jesus Christ" Omits "Amen"
Matthew 17:21 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
Matthew 18:11 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
11 [For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.]
Mark 7:16 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
Mark 9:44,46 These verses are put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
Mark 15:28 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
John 5:4 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
Acts of the Apostles 8:37 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
37 [And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]
Romans 16:24 This verse is put in brackets, questioning its acceptance.
A few changes and omissions wouldn't be so bad, or probably even noticed. Actually there are hundreds of changes or omissions of words or complete verses that most people don't even notice, but when one sees them all listed together it is shocking what has been changed or left out or put in brackets with shades of doubt upon these words.
