No. I will not download anything and open the door to viruses or spyware. Fix your document so the links work properly.

Originally my PDF was on Google Drive, and two fellow KJV brothers had problems downloading it.
So I moved my PDF to DropBox.com where one can preview it.
But its not my document's fault for the internal link not working fast.
It's Dropbox's fault for not having a Preview option that runs smoothly for large PDFs.
As I said, my PDF works fine if it is run with Adobe Acrobat on a computer.
Tried to make it a website version for you with Canva, but it is glitchy. Some links work, and others don't in the website version.

Personally, in my world view, a person would not even be a Christian if they set out to maliciously harm other Christians.
I would have never suspected that of you, or other Christians (unless they acted weird) even if we disagreed greatly on this topic.
But if you want to suffer needlessly, be my guest. You can just scroll all the way to the page number if you like.
There is a Table of Contents.

There are other options like Sandbox if you have Windows.
It creates a virtual environment that you can download things to and will not affect your real computer.

Using Windows Sandbox (simplest option)

If you’re on Windows 10/11 Pro, you can turn on Windows Sandbox:

  1. Press Windows Key → “Turn Windows features on or off.”
  2. Check the box for Windows Sandbox.
  3. Reboot your computer.
  4. After reboot, press Start → type “Windows Sandbox.”
  5. It opens a fresh, clean Windows environment.
  6. You can download and open the suspicious file inside that sandbox.
  7. When you close the Sandbox, everything inside it — including malware — disappears permanently.

For Windows, Mac, or Linux, you can use VirtualBox.org which is a Virtual Machine. Just ask ChatGPT the steps to do it.
Whatever you run on the Virtual Machine will stay there and never touch your real computer. Screen-cap any pages and send to ChatGPT to help you if you ever run into any issues. I did this recently to get my domain name transferred over to Canva.com seeing I am not a tech whiz.

Jesus was fully human.

Yes, Jesus had a fully human physical body and His Omniscience (i.e., to have all knowledge as God) was suppressed.
So this is why He was able to grow in wisdom as the Scriptures say.

You said:
The Word was omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal.

So you are saying Jesus stopped being God when He became human?
If that was the case, then He would have sinned for allowing others to worship Him and to point to Himself as the only way to eternal life. Jesus said no man can come unto the Father except through Him, making Himself out to be God.

I believe that only attribute of the Son of God that was suppressed was Omniscience.
I believe the suppression of Christ's Omniscience happened before the creation of the world.
It was Jesus who was in the Garden with Adam and Eve and asked where they were at?
Jesus said to the Father that He desired to share in the glory that He once had with the Father before the world came into being (See: John 17:5 KJV). There are verses that talk about how the glory of God is tied to knowledge (See my PDF).
So, the many pre-incarnate appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament would have been where Jesus still had His Omniscience suppressed.

Anyway, besides Omniscience, all other attributes of the Son of God remained fully intact when He became flesh.

You said:
Your saying that....

No. I am not saying anything. I am only relaying to you what the Bible says if you believe it.

You said:
Your saying that Jesus was omnipotent but not omniscient nor omnipresent, and immortal.

No. I am saying that the Bible is teaching that Christ's Omniscience was suppressed and that He came down from Heaven (although He was still one with the Father in spirit). All other attributes of the Son of God were still fully intact. Jesus was Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Immortal when He came down into the flesh.

You said:
Seems like a hit and miss affair.

It's what the Bible says, and I did not write the Bible.
Could I be wrong in my understanding of the verses?
Sure. But you would need to bring some compelling evidence using the King James Bible and or its underlying original language words (i.e., the Textus Receptus Beza 1598 Greek, and the Ben Chayyim Masoretic). Note: I provide tools at the end of my PDF on where to compare the original language words.

Anyway, so far, you are not even dealing with the points I made in Scripture. We can look at those verses if you like.
If not, then you can continue to believe whatever you want to believe with no actual biblical backing besides the Modern Bible renderings in Philippians 2:7.

The difference between me and you on this topic is that if I was talking to myself who did not know about this truth yet, I would have in most cases looked at the verses first and read the chapter to see if what I said was correct. So, that is all I am asking you to do. Keep an open mind and look at the verses with an open mind that I already shared. If not, then you can continue to believe whatever you want to believe with no biblical backing.

Also, it is a historical fact that the Kenosis Theology is a more recent development that the Modern Bible renderings have only helped to reinforce. Without the Modern Bible wording in Philippians 2:7, a person would have no basis to claim that Christ “emptied Himself” (ESV) or “gave up His divine privileges” (NLT).

The King James Bible does not say this in Philippians 2:7.
Hence, this represents a clear change in doctrine.

No one can honestly deny that this is a doctrinal change when comparing the KJV with the Modern Bibles.

Dino may favor a “shape shifting” text in the original languages as his standard (with either Nestle and Aland editions or perhaps the CBGM?), but my PDF focuses on comparing the KJV versus the Modern Bibles in English.

Im not a true theologian, but according to what I read in the Bible I see both the deity and the humanity of Jesus. Yes, according to Philippians 2:7 He emptied Himself of His privileges and became one of us. He allowed Himself to be placed as a fertilized embryo in the womb of a young girl and was born as a human being. He became as we are to show us the example of a life totally committed to the Father and Holy Spirit. In Hebrews 4 it says that He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. What I think I see is God the Son who, yes displayed omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence but not as deity; rather as a completely surrendered human operating in the anointing of His Father to give us the example of a life totally surrendered to God. If He had not surrendered His deity for the time He was among us then why did He often go off alone to pray? And in the raising of Lazarus why did He pray and thank the Father for hearing and answering before declaring Lazarus to come out? Being baptized before officially starting His ministry? These are things I’d like to know.

but on the other hand, He made statements referring to His deity such as that no one could take His life; He was giving it. And at the temple stating “destroy this temple and I will raise it up again in 3 days.” And His finished work on the cross? Becoming the propitiation for our sin? Becoming the High Priest of our confession? Forever conquering hell and death? This is the work of deity, yes? Maybe that’s why Paul called it “the mystery of the gospel?” So maybe Jesus is 100% God and 100% man? The word became flesh and dwelled among us John 1:14? And the “I am” statements He made. Doesn’t this declare deity?

These are mysteries to me. I think some things we have to take by faith because if we knew everything God did and why then faith would become unnecessary. And without faith it’s impossible to please God Hebrews 11:6. As I said I am not a theologian and am still searching and through study and prayer working some of it out. Thanks.

The Modern Bibles are the new kids on the block. The movement began under deception with Westcott and Hort's English Revised Version where it was supposed to be a KJV update but it wasn't one because it also looked to Vaticanus and Sinaiticus as its guide. This is why 1 John 5:7 and other verses are not in the 1881 Westcott and Hort ERV or RV. The KJV does not say "emptied himself" (ESV) and neither does it say He gave up His divine privileges (NLT). Read page 104 of my PDF at www.affectionsabove.com and it will be clear. Well, read the verses in the KJV.

The Modern Bibles are based on an artificially constructed eclectic text that was never before used in church history until 1881.
Modern Bibles did not even become popular until the 1980s with the NIV. Before that, mostly liberal churches used Modern Bibles.
While not an exact match, the KJV is based primarily upon the Byzantine majority. So it would align with the historic usage of the text that was used by the church through history. If the Modern Bibles are correct, then the reformers had a false Bible and did not know it. If so, then men like Tyndale died for translating the wrong Greek text. Also, Westcott and Hort had a Unitarian George Vance Smith on their ERV committee and they even fellowshipped with him. Unitarian George Vance Smith published a book stating how doctrines were changed in the English Revised Version. So it wasn't until heretics got a hold of the Bible that we finally got it right? That doesn't make any sense. The KJV says, "But made himself of no reputation, " Many of the KJV translators knew multiple languages and learned Hebrew and Greek since they were children. No other group of scholars was ever assembled like them before or after them. Look into the KJV translator's credentials.

Tichendorf, Westcott and Hort all had papal meetings. Tichendorf shortly before he "discovered" sinaiticus. The counter reformation was in full swing at the time. Vaticanus B somehow showed up in the vatican library. I dont believe in coincidence.

I have catalogued 25 Catholic ideas in Modern Bibles in my PDF. It is on page 82 of the document. Also, Carlo Maria Martini worked on the Nestle and Aland Greek text as well. I am still investigating what he may have potentially changed that could support Catholic theology. But even if he did not personally select Alexandrian Greek manuscript readings that lean toward Catholicism, the fact that he was on the committee shows the ecumenical spirit behind the Modern Bibles nonetheless.

No PhDs here, brother. I just study the Bible (KJV) and look into the underlying Hebrew and Greek words. I also follow Nick Sayers’ channel (Revolution Debates), where he dives deep into the Greek text behind the KJV. While I’m not as advanced in Greek as Nick, I do muddle my way through using a few study tools. I’ve also listed some helpful links and resources at the end of my PDF at affectionsabove.com for anyone wanting to get a basic understanding of the original languages using AI and lexicons.

I see Jesus as flesh and blood.

Jesus has the identity but not the glory.

Jesus has the authority of God but not the presence of thousands of angels that we see in the vision.

Jesus is not in heaven with eyes like fire, glowing metallic legs and arms, and a radiance around Him.

Jesus does not talk with the deafening sound of a raging river.

Your not looking at Jesus as looking into the source of life and eternity.

Jesus simply lived the perfect life of faith and spoke only what His Father told Him to speak.

Jesus only did what His Father told Him to do.

That Faith that Jesus exercised was our example.

This is how you live your life!

The Holy Spirit was the power source for Jesus' life and ministry. From his conception to his miracles and his guidance,
Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit, who anointed him for his mission and enabled his actions.

  • Anointing at baptism:
    Jesus was "anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power" at his baptism, which enabled him to perform miracles and go about doing good.

  • Empowerment for ministry:
    The Holy Spirit was described as the source of power for Jesus' ministry, guiding him and giving his words authority.

  • Miracles and healing:
    Jesus performed his miracles, such as healing the sick and casting out demons, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • Supernatural insight:
    The Holy Spirit gave Jesus supernatural insight into people's lives and knowledge of the cross.

  • Continued dependence:
    Even after his resurrection, Jesus continued to act through the power of the Holy Spirit, as the apostles were
    commanded to wait for the Spirit to receive power for their own ministry.
 
I see Jesus as flesh and blood.

But Jesus is God, and not just a man alone (John 1:1-2).

Jesus has the identity but not the glory.

Luke 2:32
“A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.”​

1 Corinthians 2:8

“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."​

You said:
Jesus has the authority of God but not the presence of thousands of angels that we see in the vision.

Colossians 1:16–17

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”​
  • The “principalities and powers” include angelic beings.
  • Christ created them and holds them together.
  • Even while in human flesh, this sustaining power never ceased (Hebrews 1:3).
This makes it impossible for any amount of angels to be more powerful than Him.

You said:
Jesus is not in heaven with eyes like fire, glowing metallic legs and arms, and a radiance around Him.
. But Jesus did show His glory, though.

Luke 9:32

"But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him."​

Jesus does not talk with the deafening sound of a raging river.

But He controlled the winds and waves obeyed Him.

Matthew 8:26-27

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

You said:
Your not looking at Jesus as looking into the source of life and eternity.

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”​
John 10:28

“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”​

Ha. Not me I just read a lot. All this information is available. @Bible_Highlighter has done a lot on this subject and more resources elewhere.
 
I’m not a lofty person.

No problem.

"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called." 1 Corinthians 1:26

"Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
 
God said to me once, “If you’re not teachable? Then you’re not useable.” So I agree it’s important to approach Him like a child; open heart and with childlike faith. “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

In my PDF, I have highlighted a changed doctrine in Modern Bibles using this verse as a part of my point.

I see your point of using the KJV because it was the original translation. I personally prefer NKJV but I read other translations as well; however I still go back to NKJV. I use an app and have all the Bibles of different translations loaded into it, including the KJV. I just happened to copy/paste/post the quote from Hebrews in NLT because that’s what I had up at that time. NKJV says in Hebrews 11:6 “those who diligently seek Him” instead of “them that diligently seek Him” which is a better use of proper English. And I don’t believe that waters down the doctrine.

I have walked with God almost 45 years and have learned to pick my battles. This is one I choose not to fight. I appreciate all your research and your zeal for correct and sound doctrine. May the Lord bless your endeavors and reward you for your diligent effort.

I am Core KJV, not KJV only. This means the King James Bible is my core foundational text in English, and I believe it to be perfect and without error in its 1600s English form. However, that does not mean I ignore the original languages, specifically Beza 1598 Greek and the Ben Chayyim Masoretic Hebrew texts that underlie the KJV. Nor does it mean I never compare the KJV with certain Modern Critical Text Bibles such as the NLT or AMP when examining the meaning of archaic words. Yet even in doing so, I remain fully aware that Modern Bibles teach false doctrines in at least 77 places, so I must be extremely careful.

As for the NKJV, I refuse to use it because it is a deception disguised under the KJV label. While the NKJV is based primarily on the Textus Receptus, it still contains Critical Text readings within it. Many of its translators were also advocates of the Critical Text, favoring the ever changing Nestle and Aland Greek, which is now in its 28th edition. The Nestle and Aland text gives preference to the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts, which disagree with each other in about 3,000 places within the Gospels alone. Nearly all Modern English Bibles are based on this Critical Text, which ultimately traces back to Westcott and Hort’s 1881 edition that also prioritized Vaticanus and Sinaiticus.

Another problem with the NKJV is that you can delete whatever you like out of the Bible. (See the NKJV section listed within my table of contents in my PDF on my website at www.affectionsabove.com.) Another issue is the NKJV’s doubt producing footnotes that constantly point the reader to the Critical Text or to the so called Majority Text, which is not truly the Byzantine Majority but only a smaller percentage of it.
