You did not say it was the modern translations that omit verses. Your original comment was the ERV omit verses.

ERV has many errors and verses omit. Not good bible.
You just lost all credibility. Also you were unable to find any verses omitted from the ERV. You're just a bunch of hot air.
I am not worried about my credibility because the facts are out there. Did you ask for one verse? How about three out of
MANY that you should research yourself!
Matthew 17:21
Luke 17:36
Act 28:29
And trust me, Like NIV and all other translations, ERV has "excuses" for omitting these verses.
It's not false! The literal definition of Amillennialism is one that does not believe in a literally 1000 year reign of Christ on earth.
The listing wrote, "
- Your doctrine denies Christ's Millennial reign on earth. "
I know it is false because I do believe in "millennial reign" through the church but not for a literal 1,000 years. The KJV Bible says:
Rev 20:4
(4) 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.
To rule with Christ for a thousand years is millennial kingdom itself.
Don't you know what your own doctrine teaches?
Amillennialism - Wikipedia
What is amillennialism?
Either you are wrong or everyone else is right.
It is correct the amillennialism does NOT support a literal thousand-year reign or kingdom. That do not negate the fact that Christ's kingdom through the church lasted a thousand years if you understand what the number thousand year signifies. Selah.
Only the King James Version has unicorns. How can anyone not know unicorns do not exist and injected unicorns into the text?
LOL.
Do you actually study and "THINK?"
The King James version of the Bible translates the Hebrew word [
re'em] as Unicorn because a Unicorn is a mythical one-horned beast, and that is what is described in the Bible. Nothing more complicated than that.
Actually, the word [
re'em] simply means lifted up and by extension exalted. From the descriptions of the animal in Scripture, this is no doubt because of its fierce and conspicuous nature. One thing we know from Scripture is that it was not the great aurochs, wild bull or wild Ox as has been widely speculated by Hebrew scholars. We know that it was a fierce creature of great strength, one horn and that it would not be domesticated. The Biblical descriptions fit perfectly the wild Rhinoceros, and would also fit God using this image to illustrated being exalted.
Psalm 92:10
- "But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil."
The
horn is
symbolic of
power or
strength, and again this fits perfectly. This animal is mentioned in Scripture that you quoted nine verses above.
The Rhinoceros is also the only such creature living today with one horn and perfectly matches the one-horned animal of great strength and fierceness we read of in Scripture. The emphasis is on its great strength, and of course, the Rhinoceros has been known to overturn cars and lift up heavy trucks off the ground, and also with great power to push and destroy.
Numbers 23:22
- "God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn."
Deuteronomy 33:17
- "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
This is obviously a glorious creature, praiseworthy, a creature of renown. It is a creature of great strength and magnificent imagery. And likewise in Job, it is illustrated as an independent creature which is almost impossible to tame.
Job 39:9-12
- "Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
- Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
This is clearly not the definition of a wild Ox. The [
re'em] is hardly a creature to be tamed and used for labor. The unicorn is unwilling to serve, which is why you will not see a Rhino hitched to a cart or tied to a plow with cords, which is what that last passages illustrate. He won't be harrowing (turning up the valleys with plough) after you. This is not an Ox. The translation of this animal as an Ox I believe are poor translations, especially the newer ones. Granted, the unicorn is certainly not the perfect translation, considering what we understand as a Unicorn today, but it is only because of the times and its one horn that it was rendered that way.
Selah!
Your flawless translation can't count correctly either.
Proverbs 6:16-19 King James Version (KJV)
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
16 The Lord hates these seven things:
17 eyes that show pride,
tongues that tell lies,
hands that kill innocent people,
18 hearts that plan evil things to do,
feet that run to do evil,
19 witnesses in court who tell lies,
and anyone who causes family members to fight.
God said exactly what He wanted to say in KJV:
2nd Peter 1:20-21
- "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
- For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
When man twists God's Word of truth to suit their own purposes, we see it as an example of the obstinate narcissist arrogance of man to think that he knows more than God. To think that he can (without a conscience) twist/Change God's word so that it doesn't actually mean what it so very clearly says is a gross sin. Every Jot and Tittle of the word is Pure and true!
For your information, or rather for the information of all faithful Christians, the Bible doesn't "seem" to say anything,
it says it and usually without ambiguity. The trick is in
RECEIVING what God has said, rather than pridefully fighting against it. That's the difference between a false witness and a true witness of the Word. One reads it honorably and receives it, the other spends all of his time trying to convince us that in the Hebrew, Greek or mind of man, it doesn't
really mean "six things," but "seven things"
Psalms 11:5 (KJV)
- "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth."
The Lord tests the righteous, but
He hates the wicked to his very soul.
Proverbs 6:16 (KJV)
- "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
- A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
- A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
Seven are an
Abomination unto the God of the Bible. That God would be the God of faithful Christians. That God declares that a false witness He hates. Do you know what a false witness is? That is someone that falsely testifies that when God says he hates these false witnesses of His word, God doesn't really hate these false witnesses at all, it just seems like He does. That is a very dangerous game to play. But it seems everyone is getting in on the act. For example, acceptance of homosexuality encompasses almost all seven, if not actually all seven!
