Stumbled onto this blog today. I suspect i'm not the only one who can relate to what she wrote:

Oh God of heaven come and hem me in
Gather the pieces that are broken
Show me the wonder of You again
Oh God of heaven

God of my hope God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my healing God of my strength
God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything

In all creation You call my name
In all the beauty that this world displays
Still I'm the one for whom Your heart aches
In all creation

God of my hope God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my healing God of my strength
God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything
God of my everything

And when the mountains shake
You are my God You never change
And when the earth gives way
You are still God You never change

God of my hope God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my healing God of my strength
God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything

God of my everything
God of my everything
God of my everything

Oh God of heaven come and hem me in
Gather the pieces that are broken
Show me the wonder of You again

~Rachel

It's better to talk point-blank about hell now, than knowlingly allow so many to experience it because we were too squeamish to speak up about the reality of it.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." ~Psalm 119:105​

“The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good the design and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.” ~Samuel R. Boggs

Interestingly, it appears that "new" versions are not innocently attempting to make the KJV Bible more "read-able" or "understandable", but rather in very subtle ways detract from Who Jesus Christ was and that perhaps there were not really miracles at all, amongst other subtle deviations from Who Jesus Christ said He was/is. This would explain perhaps the rabid attacks on the KJV. Bottom line is, there is an agenda.

Here's a comparison on specifically, the English Standard Version (ESV) and the King James Version Bible (KJV)

There is a prevalent belief in the mystic “originals”. The “originals” deception is the biggest lie and heresy taught in Christianity. And its rotten fruit is nothing less than the destruction of the authority of the Word of God. . .

The ESV (and virtually all new versions) is translated from the Westcott and Hort Greek text (W-H). The Westcott and Hort Greek text is drastically different from the Textus Receptus. Many verses are “intentionally” removed in the W-H text. Many words are “intentionally” changed or removed in the W-H text. This is the reason the new versions delete verses, remove thousands of words and drastically change the Words of God. It’s not because the new versions are harmlessly “updating” the King James Bible (as they mislead you to believe) but they are translating from a radically different Greek text.

Before we continue, perhaps it would be a good time to introduce you to the two men behind the Westcott and Hort Greek text - Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. They worked on the translating committee for the Revised Version (RV) of 1881. The RV baptized Christians into the oceanic waters of “new” Bibles. Until that time (from 1611), Christianity knew and believed one English Bible – the King James Bible. The original purpose of the RV was a timid revision of the King James Bible. The timid purpose was slyly subverted by Westcott and Hort’s fiery desire to overthrow the authority of the King James Bible. While working on the RV, Westcott and Hort covertly produced their radical Greek text. Westcott and Hort’s radical beliefs and deceptions are widely documented from their own material and their own words. The following quotes from Westcott and Hort shed light on the many sinister and subtle changes (which we’ll soon examine) lurking inside the new versions.

Westcott openly denies the many miracles in the scriptures

Aug. 11th - Westcott: "I never read an account of a miracle but I seem instinctively to feel its improbability, and discover some want of evidence in the account of it." (Life, Vol.I, p.2).

Wescott and Hort’s driving force was the extinction of the infallibility and authority of the scriptures. Their writings contain many instances where they express bitter contempt toward the authority of the scriptures.

“Further I agree with them in condemning many leading specific doctrines of the popular theology…Evangelicals seem to me perverted rather than untrue. There are, I fear, still more serious differences between us on the subject of authority, and especially the authority of the Bible.”
(Hort, Arthur Fenton, Life and letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 1, p.400)

In the verse John 3:16, in the ESV bible, the word "begotten" is left out:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

KJV:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16

The Foundation of the English Standard Version(ESV)

http://www.bible-researcher.com/only-begotten.html

Whole verses are removed from the ESV:

http://www.av1611.org/attack.html

“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” ~Matthew 15:14

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” ~Matthew 24:35

"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." ~II Corinthians 4:2

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth." ~II Timothy 2:15

I had never heard of the the ESV (English Standard Version) bible until today. I was told that it is more "accurate", more "understandable", and without the errors of the Authorized King James Version Bible. So I did some reading on the ESV. THe originators of it are on a vendetta, it seems, to slowly but surely, destroy any semblance of God's Word being what He says it is, and doing this by subtle changes and omissions.

Ran across this today. It comes in alignment with my own reading several key omissions in the ESV. These omissions make perfect sense considering the agenda of the "omitters" of these "key" words ( Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort). Their agenda is quite clear, and becomes more clear the more i read of Westcott and Hort. They are from the "God is dead" liberal RSV legacy.

Thus, let's keep this short and simple, shall we. In this case there is no need to rant and rave. The ESV fits into the same category as a "Perversion", along with the NASB, NIV, RSV, Living, Message, etc. It may -contain- some of God's Word, as the NASB, NIV and RSV -contain- God's Word. But it -is- NOT (cover-to-cover) God's Word.

VW: ESV - review

Here's a bit more on Brooke Foss Westcott:

http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/sbs777/vital/kjv/part1-6.html

The bottom line is this, that God changes not, and neither do His Words:

"The words of the LORD are pure words,
As silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD,
Thou shalt preserve them
from this generation forever."
~Psalm 12:6,7

"Heaven and earth shall pass away,
But my words shall not pass away."
~Matthew 24:35

This site goes into detail on the Word of God and the source of the King James Bible, and gives the history that reveals "contemporary" translations are based upon heresy documents, i.e. Vaticanus B, Sinaiticus אּ, etc. which are of Gnostic origin.

Faith does not come by hearing mans opinion of God's word (there is no certainty, conviction, contrition, or conversion in opinions), but rather faith comes by hearing God's word itself being preached and taught. It is important you know (you are certain) that what you are hearing, reading, studying, preaching, and teaching is God's word. "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the God." Jesus quoting Deuteronomy 8:3

Source of the King James Bible

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" ~Matthew 7:13

"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Corinthians 2:13
