The following passage of Scripture evidences the typical type perversion of the Scriptures from the modern revisions translated from the Alexandrian Greek text (from Alexandria, Egypt). The reliable King James Bible, in sharp contrast, was translated from the Antiochan text (from Antioch, Syria). Notice in the following Bible verse from 1st Timothy 4:12 the drastic difference in meaning between the two Bibles:
KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB)—1st Timothy 4:12, “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV)—1st Timothy 4:12, “You are young, but don’t let anyone treat you as if you are not important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them by what you say, by the way you live, by your love, by your faith, and by your pure life.”
The conjunction “but” in the King James Bible sheds light upon what “Let no man despise thy youth means.” Rather than being despised by society for being a delinquent youth, a troublesome punk, with lack of morals and no respect for others; the Bible admonishes Christian young people to exemplify Christlikeness, in speech, in behavior, in love, in spirit, faith and purity. This is what the King James Bible teaches. Don't let people despise you because of your heathen talk, dress and behavior.
In sharp contrast, the Easy-To-Read Version (ERV) doesn't make any sense at all. How could you stop others from not treating you like you are “IMPORTANT”? What a proudful wrong attitude to have . . . “I am young! I am important! You will respect me!” YOU LITTLE PUNK BRAT!!! That is exactly what is wrong with youth today. That is, they are arrogant brats, with no fear of God, and no respect for their elders or authority, and are as immoral and wicked as can be. Youth are greatly despised today. The Greek word for “despise” in 1st Timothy is kataphroneo, meaning, “to think against, disesteem.” Isaiah 3:12, “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” All across the United States today, punk gangs of youth are terrorizing our cities and towns. Millions of youth, roaming in street gangs, in every major American city are synonymous with drugs, murders, shootings, rapes, torture, and every crime imaginable. As with everything, the love of money fuels the drug-gang empire worldwide.
It is silly, ridiculous and senseless to interpret 1st Timothy 4:12 as not allowing anyone to make you feel “unimportant.” That cannot be stopped. It is clear that immoral Hollywood doesn't care about the spiritual growth of our youth. It is obvious that Walt Disney targets youth with satanic agendas, corrupting their good morals. It is obvious that the public school system doesn't care about our youth, indoctrinating them with the proven lies of evolution, denying God, and passing out condemns with classroom-instruction on how to have sex. Nearly every major American city now puts taxpayer-funded condemn dispensers in the schools for the youth to fornicate. Proper courtship before marriage is never taught to youth in government schools, nor by the secular media.
NOTE: Modesty of attire is not taught to young girls. Instead, most young girls and teens these days look like slutty prostitutes. We've got a bunch of DUMB MAMA's in America! While U.S. prisons are filling up with sex offenders, young girls are talking, dressing and behaving more sexy, sleazy and slutty than ever! Parents are mostly to blame! We live in an insane society today that thinks it is acceptable for girls and women to walk around sexy, nearly naked and promiscuous, while insanely wondering why there are more pedophiles and sex-offenders today than ever. Duh! What do you expect when you remove the Holy Bible from children's lives? (The Word of God has been banned since 1963 from all public schools) What do you expect when you tease men with a flesh-pot of lewd and sensual females everywhere in society today? What do you expect when you have filthy perverts like Taylor Swift corrupting our youth? If lawmakers, politicians and law-enforcement officials really wanted to rid society of the immoral influences destroying our youth, they could do it overnight. It's all about the love of money! Satan is the god of this world and he uses money to control people. Put the producers of indecency into the prisons! You ought to start with Los Angeles and Hollywood, because they are the number one producers of every form of filth on the planet! Americans are infatuated with sin, which is why wickedness is flourishing today in American society! Woe unto America! Judgment Day is coming! And when that dreadful time comes, we will get exactly what we deserve as a nation for forgetting God!
