Chapter 6: The Heart of an Apostle

So, what about the infallibility issue of the King James Bible? The

quick and easy answer is that it contains some errors. Having said that, most likely all other translations contain some errors. If you were looking for perfection, you missed the dialogue I offered on 99%. My guess is that all translations are at that 99% level. Many modern translations offer an

excellent comparison against the King James Scripture. You most certainly need at least three translations if you are a serious student of the Bible.

Has God any reason to repent? Does God wreak evil upon people?

Or, is His holy wrath justified by a need for justice? The answers seem very clear from the Bible.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no

variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17 KJV

“God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not

do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 KJV

The KJV Bible is clear in James that all good things come from God.

Then, in Numbers, the KJV Bible is also clear that God does not repent. Please note also that James asserts that there is “no variableness” with God meaning God does not change. Note also that Numbers states clearly that God will do exactly what He says He will do.

Conflict arises in the King James Bible when you examine the word repent. Not only does the King James Bible state accurately that God does not have anything to repent of, it later states that God DOES repent. What

does God repent of? EVIL! Consider the following King James verses:

“For the Lord shall judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants, when He seeth that their power is gone,

and there is none shut up, or left.” Deut. 32:36 KJV
