Christians must be wary of false teachers

 NATHAN Mano’s letter (The National, Aug 31) hit the nail on the head. 

On the KJV of 1611, John 5: 43 has Jesus Christ warning us: “I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.”

In Mark’s gospel which is good news meaning Jesus the Christ or Messiah and the message about Jesus as Son of God we see God’s message directly.

The KJV is a version of it. It is not original. That is why it bears name of an earthly king. In fact the Church of England found it to contain lot of defects so it was revised in 1870 onwards.

Why are certain pastors not listening? Who are they serving? God’s word is in John 5: 43 and we must ask whose word are they embracing with King James Version of 1611?

King James wanted his name to be on God’s word because in 1581 an Act of Persuasion was passed in UK Parliament outlawing Catholic faith that had the original bible in the modern era. King James commissioned a team of translators in 1604 and first print came out with his name on it styled ‘King James Version.’

Titus 1: 1-12 is lighting up truth about some leaders and pastors. And Paul goes on to warn Titus about false teachers who were working for money. God is Abba Father. Who is King James?
