Chapter 6: The Heart of an Apostle

Page 24

“I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will

do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God.” Ezekiel 24:14 KJV

Ezekiel again makes the case that what God has spoken will come to pass. The New King James Bible translates the KJV language of “neither will I repent” into “Nor will I relent.”

“Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?” Jonah 3:9 KJV

Who can tell? Indeed, if you have the heart of an apostle, you know

that God does not have anything to repent to mankind for. He is the potter. It is us who are the clay in His hands. The New King James translates the above verse as: “Who can tell if God will turn and relent?”

Finally, on the issue of infallibility in the King James Bible, you will find that the word “infallible” is used only once and it is in Acts 1:3.

“To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by

many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” Acts 1:3 KJV

“To whom he also presented himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” Acts 1:3 NKJV

Note that the New King James maintains the use of the word infallible. That is an example of how close the NKJV is to the KJV. However, if you attempt to research the word “infallible” back to its original

Hebrew or Greek using Strong’S, you will find that there is no root.
