- Affected Teaching
- When the Lord Jesus Christ had risen from the dead, the women who went
to anoint His body for proper burial met an angel at the tomb who told them
that He was risen from the dead. They then received instruction to go and
tell His disciples and verse 9 states that they were following the
instructions they received and were proceeding to go and tell the disciples.
Then Jesus met them while they were going and told the women exactly where
He would meet with the disciples, in Galilee. By removing these eight words,
the modern versions eliminate the obedience of the women to go and tell his
disciples.
-
- The great principle of obedience is shown in these eight words just as
Paul obeyed the same type of heavenly command.
- (Acts 26:19-20 KJV) Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient
unto the heavenly vision: {20} But showed first unto them of Damascus, and
at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the
Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for
repentance.
-
- The true believers are to be obedient to the heavenly directives which
we receive. Paul received it in a vision and the women at the tomb received
it by means of an angel. We receive our heavenly directive from the Word of
God. When the modern versions continue to chop away at the great teachings
in Scripture, they cause Christians to be disobedient to the heavenly
directives in Scripture. However, Christians who use these modern versions
are creating their own disobedience by not investigating the source of the
versions they are using. Every true Christian has a message of hope to bring
to the world and that message is the resurrection of Christ which we
celebrated last Sunday. Let us not neglect the urgency of going and telling
but let us go and tell with the proper tool, the King James Bible, the true
word of God.
