“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” — Romans 1:16

Welcome to The Peoples Gospel Hour!

The Bible reveals two ways which people are following to get into heaven. One way, the true way, is God’s way. God’s way into heaven is the way of peace and truth and righteousness. It is the only way approved of God. This way centers in the Lord Jesus Christ who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6). The Bible declares that there is another way. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12).

There are so many popular ways today filled with lost multitudes all over the land, such as the way of morality, the way of respectability, the way of religion, the way of churchianity, the way of baptism, the way of christening, the way of confirmation, the way of penance, the way of confession, the way of “doing the best I can”, the way of self, the way of education, the way of philosophy, the way of false isms and cults that crowd the street. Little wonder then when we speak to people about the way of salvation, that so many have asked, “How can I know which is the true way? There are so many different ideas and so many religions.”

But there is ONE difference between God’s way of salvation and man’s way, and that difference is found in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. You will notice that man leaves Christ out of the center of his way. You will discover that the modern false cults and isms demote Christ to a mere man and add something to what He has already done for your salvation and mine. We become children of God through a supernatural birth. Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus also said, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7)

                   Here We Stand Without Compromise,

                             Building And Battling – III

    Battles We Must Confront And Face Today:

    The battle for the faith is a spiritual and it never ceases. In very generation, faithful contenders for the faith must face new forms of Satanic attack against the Church. The battles we wage today are in three major areas, namely: the Manuscript battle, the Music battle and the Morals battle. Our primary purpose in this article is not to prove that the Bible is the Word of God. We are sure that it is. And it is assumed throughout. The aim of this article is to show which version really is the Word of God, and why many versions in the market today are simply substitutes for he book which God gave us; the one of which it said, “ Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost…” 2nd Peter 1:21.

    Is there such a thing as the Word of God? To the believers this question may seem unnecessary. However, this is where we begin, as it is foundational to the entire issue. Furthermore, even superficial confidence in the Bible by the masses has been eroded by pseudo- intellectualism and modernistic (liberal) pulpits. So we may ask, “ Is there a book which we can say without equivocation, this came from God and it is an accurate account of what He said?” If we are unable to do so then we have nothing; truly our faith is vain.  But if this can be demonstrated we have a sure foundation. If there is such a Book, then it also follows that various translations or versions which are in disagreement are not the word of God.                                                                                                                                          It is the only book that is absolutely timeless and all that it records is valid and helpful today as when written.   Its historical accuracy is without parallel. Critics love to speak about its errors but to date none has been proved. Yes, no archaeological discovery has never controverted a Biblical reference.   Yes, there is a book that claims and also proves to be the very Words of God, and there is only one. Does it matter whether we have that Book or not? For everything depends upon it!!   Now Tte battles we wage today are in three major areas, namely: the Manuscript battle, the Music battle and the Morals battle.

    The Manuscript Battle: The first and the foremost attack we face today is against the inerrant Word of God. The greatest theological battle of the 21st century is over the Bible and the doctrine of Inspiration! Friends, would it make a difference if you know that the New Testament of the modern Bibles did not have First and Second Peter? And yet if the total number of missing words were added up, this is how much shorter the modern translations are than the Authorized Version. Is it a cause for concern if the names of Christ are missing 175 times, or if the word,” hell” is not found in the Old Testament, or if key doctrinal passages have been diminished? And, the biggest shock of all, is it possible that the most basic and blatant of all early heresies concerning the Person of of Christ has been given a “ new lease on life,” through the modern version? Many have gone over to the new Bibles without realizing that much, more is involved than the question of modern English. The underlying text is substantially different. The philosophy and methodology of the translators is in marked contrast to that of the Authored Version. Throughout Christian history, there have been to contrasting streams of Greek Bible manuscripts and Bible texts :namely:

    • The received Text, commonly known today as the TR . The received text is the by Bible -believing Christians down through the centuries.
    • and the apostate critical text, identified as CT which follows the Gnostic heretical Alexandrian strain.

    The Received Text is based on the 98% strain of the approximately 5288 available manuscripts. Where as the Critical Text is based on 1.4% pf texts flowing from the flawed Sinatics and Vaticanus manuscripts.  Unfortunately all the modern untrustworthy versions are basically rooted on the unreliable Westcott and Hort Greek text that flows from the small and vastly deficient Alexandrian manuscripts strain. This includes the latest Nestle-Aldan Texts, as well as the United Bible societies text. Dearly beloved, the Bible text issue is not a minor issue today, it is a major battle ground where obedient believers must take an unwavering stand.

    We who stand for the Authorized Version of the Bible – The KJB, While we have a complete faith in its authenticity, and integrity, we do not believe that contains any “advanced” revelation as some of its misguided advocates errantly advocate. No additional divine revelations have been given since the completion of the New Testament canon in Revelation chapter twenty-two and non are forthcoming from heaven.

    Now, the great question at stake is simply this:

    • Is the KJB a reliable trustworthy version that Bible-believing Fundamentalists can completely trust and use ?
    • Is it a translation that we must correct because of errors, or is it a version without blunders that we permit to correct us?
    • Does this version still have a power to build spiritual homes, New Testament Churches and Biblical-fundamentalist schools like it had done in America and around the English speaking world over 400 years?

    To these questions we answer an unhesitating “YES!” Lest some misguided saints seek to malign and slander us like they have done in the past. We would like to reaffirm our complete confidence in the authenticity, reliability and trustworthiness of the KJB as the sole English translation that we read, study and from which we preach.

    Yes, the KJB is the spiritual ship with which the ministry of the Peoples Gospel Hour successfully navigated the treacherous seas for over 79 years, and the vessel we intend to sail until we reach our heavenly destination.   The KJB Bible which the uncompromising Bible-believing historic  Fundamentalists have used for more than 400 years is our reliable guide for Christian living and Christian service. It is reliable in every area of its extensive coverage from its grand commencement in Genesis chapter one to its glorious conclusion in Revelation chapter twenty-two. Its translation is accurate, its text is authentic, and its truths are apostolic.

    The Devil is going to do everything possible to destroy the KJB’s testimony by continuing to allege in the future that the KJB is based upon inferior and unreliable manuscripts that is outmoded and difficult to comprehend. Without doubt Satan’s immediate goal is to cause distrust among potential KJB readers and eventual discredit of it’s contents.

    While pausing to give the KJB “lip” service for its historical contribution to the English speaking world of past centuries, ecumenical liberals and compromising evangelicals vigorously promote dozens of unreliable translations based on the defective apostate Critical Text. There are now a multitude of English Bible versions and translations, and new ones are appearing almost yearly. All of these purport to be the word of God and yet, it is obvious that all of them differ one from the other. How can it be possible that each one is an accurate records of what God has given us, when some omit words, other add them? This confusion is getting worse all the time. Our main goal is to try and clear up the tremendous amount of confusion which exists among the people of God.

    We believe that the one thing which has done more to promote confusion among believers is the spirit of compromise that seems to pervade the churches. Compromise has always been the curse of the church. Perhaps more than in any other age, christian leaders are bent on catering to this old world and those who hold authority in it. There is a mad rush to please everyone, so it is little wonder they have endeavoured to develop a Bible that will offend no one.

    If we deviate from the truth, we have everything to lose and nothing to gain. When will we who love the Lord realize that we have nothing to give up. As one old time preacher once clearly stated, he said, “ there are three possible attitudes which you may take in the present conflict.

    • In the first place you may stand for Christ. That is the best.
    • In the second place you may stand for anti-Christian (modernism). That is the next best.
    • In the third place, you may be neutral. And that is perhaps the worst of all.

    The worst sin today is to say that you agree with the Christian faith and believe in the Bible, but then make a common cause with those who deny the basic facts of Christianity.”

    Some folks will still say, “ well, I don’t see why all the fuss. You can use the version you want to and the next fellow can use what suits him.” Such thinking is foolish and fails to realize that there is a far deeper issue here. We believe that this multiplication of Bible versions is just another subtle attempt of the Devil to destroy the Word of God. We have a basic issue before us: it is of the utmost importance! The greatest theological battle of the 21st century is over the Bible and the doctrine of Inspiration!

    The Scripture declares, “ .. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Faith does not come from something that is similar to the Word of God or a distorted Word of God. Distort the Bible you will have a distorted faith; destroy the Bible and you have destroyed Christianity. Isn’t it strange, man wants to be very exacting until it comes to the Bible and spiritual things? Mathematics is very exacting: 2 + 2 is always 4, etc. The Science of Chemistry is very narrow; you must always mix chemicals in exactly the right proportion and way or else the experiment won’t work; or you may even have explosion. You want the doctor to be very dogmatic; yu wish to have a very precise diagnosis. You don’t want him to guess about your difficulty. When it comes to eternity, there are multitudes who are willing to trust guess work and unproven theories.

    Those who wish to put their heads in the sand or blindly follow some piped piper may do so, but we will give them the opportunity to have the truth and make the right decision. No doubt there are others more qualified, who are still spoken in this issue but most remain silent. We need the courage of our convictions. Knowing such a course is not popular, as God has not called us to popularity but to “ Preach the word ; be instant in season and out of season….. for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine….” 2nd Timothy 4:2-3

    Dearly beloved, if there ever was a time to stand for the truth of the Word of God it is now. It will not be applauded, but it is necessary.    Dearly beloved, the Bible text issue is not a minor issue today, it is a major battle ground where obedient believers must take an unwavering stand.   The ecumenical based defective Scriptures are going to wind up supporting the ecumenical church which will eventually result in the false ecumenical savior – the Anti-Christ. Thus it is important to vigilantly contend for the faith as the Apostle Jude exhorted in his epistle.
