KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

2. The Living Bible , NASB, NAB and Jehovah Witness Bible remove the highly critical word 'now' from John 18:36, . .now is my kingdom not from hence." It is in all Greek manuscripts. Sounding clearly New Age, new versions read, "My kingdom is not of this realm." 3. The Amplified Bible spiritualizes Amos 9:11, a verse clearly indicating the restoration of David's kingdom under the Messiah. It also alters I Thessalonians 2:16 in this regard. 4.

(II Thess. 2:2) They also say, "unless those days had been cut short no life would have been saved," instead of "except those days should be shortened, then should no flesh be saved." (Matthew 24:22) Luciferian David Spangler's book, Revelation: Birth of a New Age, says Christ's appearing is past tense. Agreeing with him are the NIV, NASB and the Jehovah Witness Bible, all based on the 1% corrupt Greek texts. Note, for example, II Timothy 4:8 which new versions render as "have loved his appearing" instead of "love his appearing." Some pick a point in time. For the JW's it was 1914, for
