1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to

What is called a notable error in the King James Version of
the Bible
2 Thess 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither
by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day
of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
ESV 2 Thess 2:2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed,
either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be
from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

“The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty.”
SOURCE: Ellen G. White (1903, ms 150, SDA; Commentary V,
p. 1129)
Recounting her vision of December, 1844, Ellen speaks of her
and Jesus as "In a moment we were winging our way
upward…" Seeing this, in the light of her calling Him "Michael
the Archangel" (Desire of Ages pp. 99, 379; Spiritual Gifts Vol.
1, p. 158; Prophets & Kings p. 572) one is led to question if
she did not, in fact, really view Him as just that—an angel!
And if so, what of His deity and bodily resurrection?
March 16, 2006 issue of Adventist Review, Executive
Publisher/Editor William G. Johnson wrote an article
appearing on page 5 entitled "So Many Versions" in which
he discusses "Which is the best Bible Translation?"
Point 3 of his answer states:
"The most popular paraphrases are The Message, The
Clear Word, and The Living Bible. They succeed in
making the Bible come alive to modern men and
women....The Clear Word is an 'Adventist' paraphrase,
incorporating insights from Ellen White."
THE CLEAR WORD BIBLE
Clear word version 1 Thess. 4:16 When Christ descends
from heaven as the Archangel, He will give a shout like a
trumpet, which is God’s call to the dead, and those who died
in Christ will rise first.
KING JAMES VERSION 1 Thess. 4:16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first:
Clear word version Jude 9 In contrast to these ungodly men
is the Lord Jesus, also called Michael the Archangel, for He is
over the entire angelic host. When He was challenged by
Satan about His intentions to resurrect Moses, He didn’t
come at Satan with a blistering attack, nor did He condemn
him with mockery. He simply said, “God rebuke you for
claiming Moses’ body.”
KING JAMES VERSION Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil he disputed about the body
of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Clear word version Rev. 12:7 This controversy between God
and the dragon began years ago in heaven. God’s Son Michael
and the loyal angels fought against the dragon and his angels.
KING JAMES VERSION Re 12:7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels,

know that other versions of the versions of the Bible have
errors?

you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among
the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. ….29 But if from
thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if
thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30 When
thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and

return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God
will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will
return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy
God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine be driven out unto the
outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God
gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LORD
thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed,
