SWORD
BIBLE FEATURES:
 Two
Different Versions
The Sword Bible is available in two
different versions. The
KJERV (King James Easy Reading Version) and
the
KJV (King James Version). Both bibles offer
a number of unique features not found in similar
s. Read below for a detailed descriptions
of the features that make the Sword Bible a
truly unparalleled publication
Special
Margin Study Guide.
All of our large Bibles have a unique easy to
use margin study guide with over 90 topics from
which to choose. This margin study guide allows
the reader to go from cover-to-cover using the
pure word of God as their study. There are many
other study helps too numerous to list. To name
just a few are: a topical concordance, maps,
earthquake charts, flood information, the
chronology of the bible (by Dr. Floyd Jones),
Bible and Science (by Dr. Henry Morris), guide
to the laws of the Bible, Jewish calendar, a
survey of Daniel's 70 weeks, land and people of
the Bible, the time of the patriarchs, judges
and kings, and on and on.
Red
Letter Old and New Testament
A
feature that is unique to our Bibles is a
Red Letter Old Testament as well as a
Red Letter New Testament. In the Old
Testament the red lettering is the direct words
of God. In the New Testament the red lettering
is the words of Christ.
Large
Print
Our Easy Reading Bible has
significantly larger text than the similar sized
bibles.
The
Received Text
Another primary difference between the KJV Easy
Reading and other versions on the market is it
follows the Received Text. The Received Text is
what the church fathers have used for nearly 400
years. The Easy Reading follows the King James
text almost word for word merely updating
language. Among the many reasons for this is it
allows one who has learned English as a second
language to have an understanding of the
scriptures without thee's and thous'. Please
note this has all been done without changing one
word of doctrine or touching deity.
Difficult Term Definitions
Underlined words are defined at the end
of the verse in a different typeface. When an
underlined word occurs more than once per
column, it is defined generally in the first and
last occurrence in the text column. The
explanatory words are not necessarily to be
understood as alternate translations, nor as
corrective translations. These words, however,
will often open up the meaning of a word or
verse that often has been otherwise not
understood or misunderstood.
Superscript P's
Many wanted the reliability of the King James
Bible but were unfamiliar or uncomfortable with
many of the old English forms and words. The
King James Easy-Reading Bible changes all second
person singular pronouns to their modern
equivalents: thee (you), thy (your), thine
(yours), and thyself (yourself). To distinguish
the plural pronouns from the singular ones, the
King James Easy-Reading Bible places a
superscript p (meaning plural) after each plural
second person pronoun. Accordingly, the old
English forms yield to the modern equivalents:
ye (you p ), you (you p ), your (your p ), yours
(yours ), and yourselves (yourselves ). Whenever
these forms reflect the name of deity, they
begin with a capital letter.
Reading Grade Level
The KJVER version is the easiest reading Bible
at the 4th Grade level.
This below
chart is a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Indicator
test performed on the top seven Bible versions
plus the Easy Reading King James. Looking at the
results, the KJVER is at the 4th grade level.
Combined with the underlined and defined end of
verse meanings, this makes it by far the easiest
to read most desirable Bible, following the
Received Text for people of all ages. The KJVER
uses one and two syllable words while new
versions have to use multi-syllable words and
phrases. Due to the derivative copyright law,
this means there can never be another English
Bible easier to read than this.
NEW
INTERNATIONAL VERSION
NIV
distorts Christ's work of redemption. Verses
which speak of our Lord's coming to save men:
Matthew 18:11
KJB: "For
the Son of Man is come to save that which was
lost."
NIV The entire verse is omitted.
Luke
9:56
KJB: "For the Son of man is not come to destroy
men's lives, but to save them."
NIV: This portion of the verse is omitted.
Removal of the Blood of Christ in Colossians
1:14
KJB: "In whom we have redemption
through his blood...."
NIV: "In whom we have redemption"
Note: The NIV translators have removed "through
his Blood." Why? Satan hates the Blood of Christ
because the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all
sin {l John 1:7} and God's people overcome Satan
by the Blood of the Lamb {Revelation 12:11}.
NIV
destroys the uniqueness of salvation in Christ
in John 6:47.
KJB: "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
NIV: "I tell you the truth, he who believes has
everlasting life."
Note: The NIV removes "on me" {i.e. on Christ}
to open the door of salvation to anyone who
believes anything. This favors the ecumenical
doctrine that "all faiths lead to God."
NIV
translators have reversed the meaning of the
text whereas in the King James our Lord is equal
with God; the NIV states the opposite.
Philippians 2:5-6
KJB: "Christ Jesus: Who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God."
NIV: "Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature
God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped."
NIV
questions Christ's Sonship and His title "Son of
God." John 9:35
KJB: "Dost thou believe on the Son of
God?"
NIV: "Do you believe in the Son of man?"
Acts 3:13
KJB: "The God of our fathers, hath glorified His
Son Jesus."
NIV: "The God of our fathers, has glorified His
servant Jesus."
NIV
undermines the virgin birth of Christ by making
Joseph His father, in Luke 2:33:
KJB: "And Joseph and his mother
marveled."
NIV: "The child's father and mother marveled."
John 3:16:
KJB: "For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son."
NIV: "For God so loved the world that He gave
His one and only Son."
The Greek monogenes means "only begotten".
NIV
removes Christ's bodily resurrection. In Mark
16:19-20:
it speaks of our Lord's post resurrection
appearances. The NIV separates the passage from
the rest of the text, and inserts before it the
note: "The most reliable early manuscripts and
other ancient witnesses do not have Mark
16:9-20." Note: the "most reliable early
manuscripts" alluded to are the most corrupt
Vatican and Sinai manuscripts, the source texts
of Modern English Versions.
NIV
omits the bodily Ascension of our Lord in John
16:16
KJB: "A little while, and ye shall not
see me because I go to the Father."
NIV: "In a little while you will see me no more,
and then after a while you will see me."
NIV
omits the Lord's bodily return in Matthew 25:13
KJB: "Watch, therefore, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh."
NIV: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not
know the day the hour."
Revelation
11:17:
KJB: "O Lord God almighty, which art, and wast,
and art to come."
NIV: "Lord God almighty, the One who is and who
was." |
