Satan's latest attempt to corrupt the Bible is simply to allow the public to write their own Bible. Conservapedia is a project by Wikipedia's to allegedly provide an accurate modern translation of the Bible. It's called the Conservative Bible Project, and there are numerous ground rules laid out for the translation process.

I took a look at the portions of the Bible which they've already completed and it's already a mess. Most Scriptures have not been translated yet. Here's John 3:16 from the Conservapedia version of the Bible...

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that who believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

Just as other modern perversions of the Scriptures, the Conservapedia version completely removes the word “begotten” from John 3:16, falsely teaching that God gave His one and only Son. That is NOT what the King James Version (KJV), the only reliable English Bible, teaches...

"God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life." (Conservapedia)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (KJV)

John 1:12 says that “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” So every born-again believer is also a son of God; but Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN Son of God. To say that God gave His one and only Son is a lie and heresy. God has many sons; but only one begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

It is a mighty dangerous thing to allow the public to translate their own Bible. Despite the request for Bible scholars to work on the project, anyone is allowed to contribute their work, which can only lead to unscholarly and unreliable work. The King James Bible was translated by 52 brilliant scholars, many who fluently mastered the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages.

Wikipedia is good in it's proper place, but when they mess with God's Word, they are treading on holy ground. We don't need another Bible today. The King James Bible is perfect as it. It's actually impossible to translate the Bible in today's inferior English, because you need those THEE's and THOU's.
