Course Content

I. Rediscovering the Lamp – “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” – Psalm 119:105
✍️ Topic Description From reverence to controversy, the path of the English Bible has shifted dramatically. This module introduces learners to the historical and spiritual reliability of the Authorized King James Bible and addresses the confusion introduced by modern translations. Through Scripture, historical evidence, and heartfelt conviction, we rediscover the LAMP that still lights the believer’s path today.

  • đź“š Lesson Highlights

II. Anchored in God’s Integrity – “The words of the LORD are pure words… Thou shalt preserve them.” – Psalm 12:6–7
📖 Topic Description Before addressing which Bible is God's perfect Word, we must first embrace the biblical promise that He would provide it. This module unveils the unwavering nature of God—who cannot lie, cannot break a promise, and has preserved His Word for every generation. By studying key AKJB passages, learners will gain full assurance that the Scriptures we hold are not accidental or evolving, but perfectly provided.

III. When God Speaks, He Expects Action – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God…” – 2 Timothy 2:15
✍️ Topic Description If God promised to provide His perfect Word, it’s not just for preservation—it’s for practice. This module outlines the seven biblical expectations placed on every believer regarding God's Word. Each verse reveals a spiritual assignment, showing that God's Word must be accessible, authoritative, and actively used. Learners will also explore the process of elimination approach to locating the Word that actually fulfills all these functions.

IV. Discernment by Purity – “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description In a world of abundant Bible translations, the purity of God's Word must be the measuring stick. This module gives learners a critical framework to evaluate modern translations, comparing their wording, omissions, and doctrinal clarity to the standard of the AKJB. Through biblical truth and process of elimination, students learn to recognize impurities and confidently identify the trustworthy text for English-speaking believers.

V. Weighing the NIV Against God’s Standard – “Every word of God is pure…” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description This module critically evaluates the New International Version (NIV) and raises serious concerns based on its omissions, doctrinal inconsistencies, and translation origins. Using scriptural criteria and the principle of elimination, learners will examine how the NIV compares to the standard of God's pure Word. This lesson is not merely academic—it’s a call to clarity, conviction, and courage.

VI: Measuring Purity by Doctrinal Impact – “Every word of God is pure…” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description This module investigates the New American Standard Version (NASV) and its suitability (or lack thereof) as God’s perfect Word for English-speaking believers. Through firsthand testimonies and textual comparisons, learners will examine omissions, doctrinal shifts, and revision history that reveal systemic problems within the NASV. The purpose is not simply critique but equipping believers to discern wisely and stand firmly.

VII: Discerning Symbols, Word Removal, and Doctrine – “Every word of God is pure…” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description While the NKJV claims only to modernize archaic words, deeper issues raise concern. From symbolic associations to doctrinal contradictions and word deletions, this module evaluates the NKJV’s reliability as God’s perfect Word for English-speaking believers. Students will apply process-of-elimination reasoning and reflect on what truly preserves purity, clarity, and doctrinal integrity.

VIII: When Scholars Say “There Is No Perfect Bible” – “The words of the LORD are pure words… Thou shalt keep them, O LORD.”
✍️ Topic Description This module examines the claims made by modern Bible scholars—particularly the idea that God’s perfect Word only exists “in the originals.” Students are encouraged to use both biblical reasoning and common sense to challenge these proclamations and affirm the preserved copy available today. By comparing historical facts, scriptural examples, and spiritual logic, learners will be equipped to reject misleading half-truths and stand boldly for the Authorized King James Bible.

IX: Old Doesn’t Always Mean Pure – “…thou shalt carry up my bones hence from hence.” – Exodus 13:19
✍️ Topic Description This module explores the Alexandrian line of manuscripts that modern Bible scholars often refer to as “the oldest and best.” Learners will investigate the origin of these texts, their spiritual reputation, and the reason they were set aside by early believers. Through historical insight, biblical examples, and spiritual reasoning, students will understand why age does not equal purity—and why the Alexandrian line should be avoided in translation efforts.

X: Faulty Foundations Cannot Support Pure Doctrine – “Every word of God is pure…” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description This module exposes the two manuscripts most often praised by modern scholars—the Siniaticus and Vaticanus—as part of the corrupt Alexandrian line. Their flaws, omissions, and history of rejection by the early church contradict the claim that they are “the oldest and best.” Students will critically examine these foundations to uncover why no translation based on them can rightly claim purity.

XI: The Men Behind the Manuscripts – “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” – Psalm 11:3
✍️ Topic Description This module introduces students to the work of Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton A.J. Hort, whose Greek text has become the backbone of nearly every modern English Bible translation. Learners will explore their background, beliefs, and manuscript selections, then compare their legacy to the biblical standard of purity and preservation. The goal is to equip believers with discernment about what lies behind the page of many translations.

XII: Where the Church Trusted the Text “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” – Acts 11:26
✍️ Topic Description This module introduces learners to the Antioch manuscript line—used and trusted by the early church and faithfully passed down to become the foundation of the Authorized King James Bible. Unlike the shelved and corrupted Alexandrian line, the Antiochian manuscripts were actively studied, copied, and shared, which explains their immense spiritual influence and shorter manuscript lifespan. Here, students will examine the origin, biblical relevance, and scriptural fruit of this trusted line.

XIII: God’s Hebrew Line of Preservation – “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.” – Isaiah 40:8
✍️ Topic Description This module introduces learners to the Masoretic Hebrew Text, the manuscript tradition responsible for preserving the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi. Students will explore its historical role, spiritual credibility, and unique connection to the Authorized King James Bible. Unlike corrupted sources, the Masoretic Text reflects consistent usage, doctrinal integrity, and recognition by the Jewish community and faithful Bible translators.

XIV: God’s Greek Line of Preservation – “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” – Matthew 24:35
✍️ Topic Description This module introduces the Textus Receptus, the Greek New Testament manuscript stream also known as the Byzantine, Received, or Majority Text. Students will explore its historical authority, spiritual preservation, and central role in the translation of the New Testament for the Authorized King James Bible. Unlike modern critical texts that prioritize questionable sources, the AKJB relied on manuscripts received, preserved, and trusted by the early church.

XV: God’s Blueprint for Preservation – “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” – Proverbs 30:5
✍️ Topic Description This module examines the divine process by which God produced and preserved His Word through human hands—flawed yet chosen. Using Jeremiah chapter 36 as a case study, students will trace the steps of inspiration, writing, copying, reading, and even restoration after destruction. God's plan was not random; it was repeatable, intentional, and preserved across generations—all so that you and I could receive His Word perfect and complete.

XVI: How God Translates His Word – “Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee.” – Jeremiah 36:2
✍️ Topic Description This module presents the biblical concept of translation—not as a human invention, but a divine act initiated and sustained by God. Using Jeremiah 36, students will follow the three-fold process by which God calls for His Word to be transferred from one vessel to another, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and faithfulness to the original revelation. This is not guesswork or human brilliance—it is God’s blueprint, still reflected in the Authorized King James Bible.

XVII: Can God’s Word Survive Destruction? – “…he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire… until all the roll was consumed.” – Jeremiah 36:23
✍️ Topic Description This module uses Jeremiah 36 to answer one of the most critical questions in biblical doctrine: Does inspiration die when the original document is destroyed? The verse shows us that the very scroll written by Baruch—containing God's inspired Word—was violently destroyed by a king who opposed it. Yet God’s response proves something much deeper: Final authority does not rest on the physical manuscript, but on the preserved and reproduced Word itself.

XVIII: Divine Inspiration, Preservation, and Addition – “The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah…” – Jeremiah 36:27
✍️ Topic Description This module confronts the myths surrounding biblical inspiration and preservation. With Jeremiah 36 as our foundation, we explore how God's Word can survive destruction, be reinspired, and even expanded without compromising purity. Learners will discover how the Authorized King James Bible fulfills God's promise to preserve His Word—not just in spirit, but in ink.

XIX: God’s Refining Furnace for His Word – “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” – Psalm 12:6
✍️ Topic Description This module highlights how God purified His Word through a sevenfold process unmatched by any other Bible translation. The Authorized King James Bible stands alone in passing through seven distinct refinements—linguistic, literary, doctrinal, and spiritual. Each stage proves Psalm 12:6 isn't symbolic—it’s fulfilled prophecy. Students will grasp why the AKJB is not merely trustworthy—it is God’s purified English standard for our generation.

XX: The Judgment and the Judged – “Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” – Proverbs 30:6
✍️ Topic Description This module explores God’s severe warnings against tampering, correcting, or attacking His perfect Word. Students will examine Scripture that forbids alteration, and then learn sobering accounts of translators and scholars whose attempts to revise God's Word were followed by spiritual—and physical—consequences. Whether accidental or intentional, tampering with Scripture is equated with calling God a liar, a charge that comes with serious judgment.

XXI: Confirming the Divine Fingerprint on the KJV -“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” – Psalm 12:6
✍️ Topic Description This module invites learners to recognize not only God's hand in preserving and purifying His Word—but in perfectly designing it. Through statistical phenomena, internal structure, and scriptural consistency, we see undeniable evidence that the Authorized King James Bible carries divine perfection. More than literature—it’s a miracle in ink.
