“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”.  Revelation 22:19

29 Bible versions are missing an important doctrine believed by nearly every evangelical church. The verse which teaches it has been quietly removed. How about yours? Watch this new short video in which author David W. Daniels gives us a quick excerpt from his book, “Look What’s Missing.”

Comments from a reader…

“This guy really knows his subject.

“It’s not often that someone who is an expert on Bible versions and the texts that underlie them can write in plain language that is both fascinating and easy to understand. But David Daniels does just that.

“Especially fascinating are Daniels’ comments on why it is such a big deal when a particular word is omitted. And when you see some of the things that modern Bible publishers have left out of their Bibles, it is just jaw-dropping! How can they do that?

“I could not put this book down. I had a lot to do, but once I got started with this, I just had to keep going. Don’t start reading it until you have some time. It will disrupt your schedule.

“I don’t normally read footnotes in books, but every now and then I could not resist looking at what Daniels had to say at the bottom of the page. This guy not only writes in a way that keeps you interested, but he really has the facts! His footnotes show a depth of knowledge of his subject that have never seen before. It’s indisputable!

“I never thought the history of modern Bible versions could be such fascinating reading! But Daniels shows that often, Bible translators didn’t believe the scriptures themselves!

“I especially enjoyed his discussion of a subject that is left out of many Bibles — hell! After delivering the bombshell of how Bible translators removed Jesus’ teaching about hell, Daniels observes in his entertaining way, “there is something about hell that makes these people really nervous!” He certainly appears to be right.

“Reading this book makes you want to hide your modern Bibles and hang on to one that still teaches repentance, salvation by faith, and even that Jesus is God. Wow! Many Bibles even soft-pedal that. It’s time to get back to basics, and back to having faith in our God and His Bible. Daniels will prod you, shock you, and inspire you to faith.

“It’s organized so you when talking with a friend about a particular translation, you can look it up in the contents and turn right to the chapter that tells what’s missing from that Bible. I’ve got to have a copy of this to show my friends at church.”

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

That famous line, attributed to Jesus in Luke 23:34, could well apply to the folks at Conservapedia — the “conservative version” of Wikipedia — who have embarked on a project to rewrite the Bible.

In an effort to rid the Good Book of “liberal bias,” the group has set up the Conservative Bible Project, which aims to rewrite the Bible from a modern, conservative perspective.

“Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations,” the project’s Web site asserts.

And the line quoted above is one of the group’s targets for deletion in a truly “conservative” Bible. The “forgive them father” quote “is a favorite of liberals but should not appear in a conservative Bible,” Conservapedia states.

And evidently many of Jesus’ other teachings — from the “turn the other cheek” lesson, to his disdain for profiteering — will also no longer be acceptable in the conservative Bible.

“Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification,” the Web site states — a strange assertion, given that English versions of the Bible date back at least to the 16th century, while socialism as a concept was formed in the 18th century.

To combat the Bible’s “socialism,” the Conservative Bible Project wants to see Biblical use of the words “comrade,” “labor” and “fellow” (as in “fellow worker”) reduced.

Not surprisingly, the project has come under ridicule and derision from some corners.

“Jesus was obviously misquoted all over the place,” blogger P.Z. Myers writes sarcastically. “So what to do? When your claim of godly authority rests on your interpretation of God’s holy word, but God’s holy words contradict your desired ends, you’re in a bit of a pickle. There is a solution, though: rewrite the Bible and change the liberal bits!”

“The insane hubris of this really staggers the mind,” writes Rod Dreher at Beliefnet. “These right-wing ideologues know better than the early church councils that canonized Scripture? They really think it’s wise to force the word of God to conform to a 21st-century American idea of what constitutes conservatism? These jokers don’t worship God. They worship ideology.”

Is ‘Hell’ Missing from Your Bible?
Issue Date: September/October 2009

By David W. Daniels
Hell is a real place. Millions of unsaved people are pouring into it. And yet fewer and fewer people believe it exists. And far fewer pastors are willing even to preach on it. Why? Maybe because their Bibles are slowly taking away the word!

In my new book, Look What’s Missing, we find a startling truth: so-called “scholars” and Bible translators in numerous verses removed the easy-to-understand word “hell” and instead left the untranslated Greek (Hades or Sheol) or Hebrew (Gehenna) word. Who knows what that means? Most people don’t speak Greek or Hebrew. Have you ever heard anyone swear at someone and say: “Go to Gehenna!”

Hell appears 54 times in the King James Version. But it only shows up 17 times (or less) in the following versions: NIV, ASV, CSB, Darby, ESV, ISV, NAS, NAU, NET, NJB, NLT, NRS, RSV, TNIV. (The Contemporary Jewish Bible and Catholic New American Bible have eliminated the word “hell” altogether.)

Not only that, but modern versions removed crucial words and verses about hell. Get out a modern, Alexandrian Bible and compare Mark 9:44-46 to a King James Bible. See what’s missing?

But not every occurrence of a word is removed. As it says in Look What’s Missing: “…Satan is very subtle: he will never take out every word on a topic —only enough to confuse you concerning important doctrines, and to make you doubt what God said.”

Doubt is the Devil’s goal. Who would buy a Bible if every verse on the deity of Christ, the Godhood, faith, salvation, heaven and hell were removed? It would obviously be a fake. But many of them are removed. And the more these words are removed, the more people doubt even basic doctrines.

How many well-known preachers have copied Billy Graham* and also disbelieve in a literal hell? Almost all my college and seminary professors disbelieved. And I’m sure you know of more examples.

But English Chick tracts use only the King James Bible. All the verses about hell are in plain sight. Our new tract, Some Like It Hot, deals with a literal hell. Why? Because we don’t want to be guilty before God, for failing to warn people about hell.

A pastor friend switched back to the KJV, saying, “I want a lot of hell in my Bible.” I agree. We pray you will agree, too. The tract, Some Like It Hot and the book, Look What’s Missing, are both available now from Chick Publications.

Many people write and ask about a certain version of the Bible. With over 200 different English versions available and a new one coming out every 6 months, it’s difficult to individually separate Satan’s counterfeits from the Word of God.

We created 25 simple checks to spot one of Satan’s counterfeits.

If any Bible version fails any one of the following tests – it is one of Satan’s counterfeits. You can click on any of the check verses to display the authentic Word of God for comparison.

Note: This is by no means ALL the fraud and corruption found in the counterfeits. There are thousands of such distortions. This is a simple and quick checklist.

Check your Bible and see if it is a counterfeit.

1. Genesis 22:8 

The counterfeits change “. . . My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:. . .” to distort the prophesy that God would become the Lamb. The counterfeits read as, “God will provide for Himself the lamb. . .” or “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering”. The fulfillment of Genesis 22:8 is found in John 1:29.

2. Isaiah 14:12 

Most counterfeits confuse the Lord Jesus Christ with Lucifer. They replace the word “Lucifer” with “morning star, day star, star of the morning”. Morning star is a title reserved for the Lord Jesus in Revelation 22:16. This is also the only time the word “Lucifer” is found in the Word of God. In Isaiah 14:15 the counterfeits do not send Lucifer to “hell” but only to the confusing “Sheol”, or the “grave”.

3. Matthew 20:20 

Many counterfeits remove the words “worshipping him” and rob worship from the Lord Jesus Christ. Some will replace “worshipping him” with “kneeling down” or “kneeling before”, but just simply “kneeling” is not worship.

4. Matthew 26:28 

Many counterfeits replace the phrase “new testament” with the generic phrase “new agreement” or “new covenant”. This is an obvious attack on the written Word of God. It’s interesting, even though the counterfeits remove the phrase “new testament”, they do not title their New Testaments as “New Agreement” or “New Covenant”. Why? The counterfeiters know they could not sell their counterfeit bearing the title “New Agreement” or “New Covenant” on the cover, so like any good counterfeiter, they disguise it.

5. Mark 3:29 

The counterfeits change the serious consequences of blaspheme against the Holy Ghost from “eternal damnation” to “eternal sin” or “eternal condemnation”.

6. Luke 4:4 

Many counterfeits remove the last half of Luke 4:4, “. . . but by every word of God” This is another assault on the Word of God. In Luke 4:4, the Lord Jesus Christ is quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. Do the counterfeiters believe the Lord Jesus does not know what Deuteronomy 8:3 says?

7. Luke 4:8 

Many counterfeits remove the words “get thee behind me, Satan”. Here the Lord Jesus Christ openly rebukes Satan – but the counterfeits do not rebuke Satan.

8. Luke 16:23 

Many counterfeits refuse to translate the Greek word “haides”. Rather than translate “haides” to the word “hell”, the counterfeit will transliterate the Greek word “haides” into the English “hades”. By this trick the counterfeit attempts to extinguish the flames of hell. Hades is not “hell”. Hell is flames, torments, weeping and wailing, complete darkness – forever. Hades is a new-age place of purification, or a fantasy place in Greek mythology. The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies called Happy Fields.

9. John 4:24 

Many counterfeits change “God is a spirit” to “God is spirit”. By removing the critical article “a”, the counterfeits teach an impersonal, formless, esoteric, new-age “spirit god”.

10. John 14:16 

Many counterfeits change the Holy Spirit from a loving, concerned “Comforter” to simply another “Helper, Counselor”.

11. Acts 2:47 

Many counterfeits change the completed act of “saved” to the working, in progress “being saved”. With this change, the counterfeits deny the complete and finished salvation in the blood of Jesus Christ to a progressive, salvation by works. You are no longer “saved” but in the process of “being saved”. See also in 1 Corinthian 1:18 and 2 Corinthians 2:15.

12. Acts 4:27 

Many counterfeits abort the Lord Jesus Christ as the Father’s “holy child” to His “holy servant”. A subtle (see Genesis 3:1) and clever denial of the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The counterfeits do this again in Acts 4:30.

13. Acts 8:37 

Some counterfeits completely remove this wonderful verse (and several others). Acts 8:37 is the Ethiopian eunuch getting saved. The counterfeits stop him from getting saved. Some counterfeits are a little more subtle. They do not remove the verse from the text, but will add a footnote questioning the verse and plant a seed of doubt. Sound familiar? “Yea, hath God said. . .?” Many counterfeits also remove: Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, Mark 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:28, Romans 16:24 and 1 John 5:7!

14. Acts 17:29 

The counterfeits change “Godhead” to the new age doctrine of “Divine Nature” or “Divine Being”.

15. Romans 6:22 

Many counterfeits demote Christians from the voluntary, loving “servants of God” to cruel “enslaved” or “slaves of God”. The counterfeits describe my Father as a “slave owner” and His precious children as “slaves”. Oh how contrary and wicked to the character of my loving and wonderful Heavenly Father! This is done many times in the counterfeits. It’s amazing because the first part of Romans 6:22 reads “. . . being made free from sin,. . .” and according to the counterfeits we now are slaves!

16. 1 Corinthians 1:21 

Many counterfeits change “. . .the foolishness of preaching. . .” to the “foolishness of what was preached” or “foolishness of the message preached”. The deceitful counterfeits change the object of “foolishness” from the act of “preaching” to the “message” of preaching – the gospel of the Lord Jesus. There’s nothing “foolish” about the “message” of Jesus Christ – it’s the greatest and most reasonable message in the history of the universe! 1 Corinthians 1:18, shines some eye-opening light on the counterfeiters. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says “. . . the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” It makes you wonder. . . are the publishers of these counterfeits saved?

17. 1 Corinthians 6:9 

The counterfeits change the word “effeminate” to “homosexual” or “male prostitutes”. This dilutes the serious warning of just the appearance or mannerism (effeminate) to the sexual act of homosexuals.

18. 2 Corinthians 2:17 

The counterfeits change the word “corrupt the word of God” to “peddling (or selling) the word of God”. An apparent attempt by the counterfeiters to hide the fact they are “corrupting the word of God”. It won’t work. . . God knows what they are doing.

19. 2 Corinthians 10:5 

The counterfeits change “imaginations” to “arguments” or “obstacles” or “speculations”. This change lines the counterfeit up with the new age religion, as the new age is built upon “imaging” and “imaginations”. It also removes the spiritual identification to where sin begins – in our imaginations.

20. Colossians 1:14 

Many counterfeits remove the phrase “through his blood”. Salvation is only “through his blood”. Without shedding of blood is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22)

21. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 

The counterfeits change “all appearance of evil” to “every form (or kind) of evil”.

22. 1 Timothy 3:16 

Many counterfeits change the crucial word “God” to the unmodified, vague pronoun “he”. This is the clearest verse in the Bible stating that Jesus Christ was “God manifest in the flesh” and the counterfeits destroy it.

23. 1 Timothy 6:10 

The counterfeits add the words “kinds of”. This addition dilutes the conclusive statement, “. . .the love of money is the root of all evil” to the subjective “. . .the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil”.

24. 2 Timothy 2:15 

The counterfeits remove the word “study”. The counterfeits do not want you to study your Bible. You might just find out they are mutilating it.

25. Revelation 1:5 

Many counterfeits change the wonderful words “washed us from our sins in his own blood,” to “loosed” or “freed” us from our sins. Revelation 1:5 is the only verse in the Bible that says you are washed in the blood – and the counterfeits destroy it. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Which Bible is the true Word of God?

“I want to know one thing — the way to heaven; how to land safe on that happy shore. God Himself has condescended to teach the way; for this very end He came from heaven. He hath written it down in a Book. O give me that Book! At any price, give me the Book of God!”
