The most depressing thing that any pastor can tell his people is that the King James Bible they hold in their hand is not inspired by God.
THE BIBLE IS THE MOST WONDERFUL and precious book in the world. God's Words are INSPIRED!!! In these days of rapid change and crumbling foundations, what a blessing it is to be reminded that our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). What a comfort and encouragement comes as we read Psalm 119:89: “Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven." How thankful we are that "the foundation of God standeth sure” (2 Timothy 2:19); the “foundation of the apostles and prophets” which speaks of the completed canon of Scripture (Ephesians 2:19-3:5).
The Bible says in Galatians 1:7, “there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” Likewise, it is troubling when a professed man of God denies the inspiration of the Bible. There are many ministers today who will say that the King James Bible is perfect, infallible, inerrant and preserved; yet they don't believe it is INSPIRED by God. Isn't that sad? I wouldn't give you a dime for any preacher who denies the inspiration of our beloved English Bible.
God never inspired a language, nor a translation; but rather, God inspired His Words. God's Words are inspired into whatever language they are translated. God's Words are inspired in every faithful translation. The New International Version (NIV) is NOT a faithful rendition of God's Word. God was not involved with the work. Greedy and evil men and women, even two open homosexuals, were on the Committee On Biblical Translation that gave the world the NIV Bible. Satan inspired the NIV translation. Christ is no longer worshipped.
In the NIV, every mention of the word “worship” has been diluted to “knelt.”
Philippians 2:6 in the NIV says Jesus couldn't grasp equality with God;
whereas the King James Bible says Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal
with God. Since the word “Trinity” is not in the Bible, the word “Godhead”
is very important. The King James Bible mentions “godhead” in Acts 17:29;
Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9. The NIV removes the word completely! The NIV
is corrupt, attacking Christ's deity and the doctrine of the Godhead
brutally!
By the way, all modern Bible versions are copyrighted by greedy and covetous men. The King James Bible is NOT copyrighted. You cannot copyright God's Word!!!
Thank God for the preserved and inspired King James Bible!!!
Inspiration is Eternal, Not Merely Temporal
God breathed the Scriptures into existence, and God breathed life and vitality into the Scriptures. Both of these statements are clearly true, taught unmistakably in the Word of God. When Paul wrote in II Timothy 3:16 that “all Scripture is theopneustos,” he was necessarily implying the first (which fits with the etymology of the word), but the primary focus of his statement was on the second. He was describing a spiritual vitality, living and life-giving, which is not at all limited to the original autographs but exists even in accurate translations. The consensus over many centuries that the word should be translated “inspired by God” or “given by inspiration of God” is correct.

Also, the following helpful information is from Greek scholar John Krinke, taken from his helpful book titled, “What Happened To Bible Faith?”...
I believe that inspiration is not a process but an entity, an eternal entity, a fact or deed. If the KJV translators had believed it was a process they would have translated II Timothy 3:16 “pasa graphe theopneustos” as “All scripture is God breathed.” In that sentence God breathed is an adjective, or present participle used as adjective, which describes the noun scripture. A verbal adjective would imply a becoming, but the Word did not become. He is. But the translators, and their English predecessors, were led to avoid that rendering, and I believe they knew in their hearts that inspiration was an eternal entity, a noun. Even though the phrase “by inspiration of God” describes scripture it is at least equally valid to look at it as a noun which is the object of the sentence. Here Paul could not have been speaking to Timothy of any original manuscripts. Those of the Old Testament were gone. And since II Timothy was probably Paul’s last epistle much of the New Testament already had been written. Graphe in this verse means scripture of both testaments. The Holy Ghost said that Timothy had known the scriptures, and so he had them before him from childhood.
The word theopneustos was given by the Holy Ghost to Paul. It is unique. It appears only once in the New Testament and is only infrequently seen in earlier pagan Greek writing. Some defenders of the KJV believe that theopneustos is a “verbal adjective,” essentially a past participle. That belief is more compatible with the concept of inspiration as a process which occurred in time, that is, a becoming. They say that “pasa graphe theopneustos” means all scripture is God breathed. If theopneustos is a verbal adjective the translation should be “God breathed” and not “given by inspiration of God.”
...Scripture is eternal and is given to all, out of every nation. And in the same way the plan of redemption is eternal and given to all, out of every nation. The Bible says Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, from eternity. The Word that became flesh was eternal. It follows that the word of God which we have before us is also eternal. When God breathed the breath of life into Adam he became a living soul; we see the same statement made in Job by Elihu. The breath of God came upon something already completed. Likewise when God breathed His word from eternity inspiration was completed. In I Corinthians 2:7 Paul says that the wisdom he preached and wrote “God ordained before the world unto our glory.”
...The KJV translators did not claim inspiration for their work because they did not need to. In their day it was generally understood that the Bible was inspired, and to them it was also clear that the Bible was now English and had been since at least the day of Wycliffe; that the Greek and Hebrew already had served their purpose and had long been properly put into English, perhaps as early as Tyndale. The true church, even in the middle ages, has always had inspired scripture before it. An omniscient, omnipotent God would not have allowed anything else.
