Affected Teaching
This week’s mutilated verse is an attack upon the new Testament. As far back as Jeremiah we were told that God was going to make a new covenant with the house of Israel.
 
(Jer 31:31 KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
 
The Lord Jesus was about ready to go to the cross for His people and told the disciples that His blood was the blood of the New Testament. The modern versions omit “new” and by doing this, we are not told what covenant the Lord was fulfilling. Was it the Abrahamic Covenant? Was it the Covenant of Salt? Was it the Covenant of Sinai? The Covenant He was fulfilling was the covenant whereby Free Grace would be imparted to the true believers. This was the covenant of Grace which would be given to the many, which is the Elect of God.
 
By omitting the term “new” it obliterates the line between the Old and New Testament. It does not tell the reader that Christ’s sacrifice was for the purpose of the new but could be misconstrued that this was the continuation of the old covenant. Once again the modern versions create confusion and once again the King James removes any doubt and confusion concerning the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ being shed for the “New” covenant or testament.
