Time to make sure you have at least one Bible in print in your possession. Soon the online versions will have changed words to reflect the agenda with AI. Remember...there are still people programming the information. If you don’t know your Bible, at least enough to recognize the counterfeit, you will have trouble.

They change definitions of words as we have seen. The definition of “vaccine” was redefined. Remember? Do not forget what they have done. Generations upcoming will only know the word “vaccine” by their current version of the dictionary. The old versions will be ousted. Only the ones who know the truth now, will be able to speak the truth later.

Is it really that far fetched to think the Bible online....not in actual print in your possession.....will have words changed and whole verses changed without us even knowing? KNOW YOUR BIBLE. The new print versions will also be changed eventually. It’s coming people. Be ready.

🎯🎯🎯 exactly! Also a copy of Webster’s dictionary from before all the definitions being changed. They will eventually create a new version and eliminate words they don’t want us to learn and/or change definitions. And a copy of the US constitution and the bill of rights. Those will be hit as well. The Magna Carta and more. The list is long but grab them now and have waterproof containers etc to protect them. I’ve been purchasing hardbacks for the last few years and wrapping them in protective plastic and storing them in waterproof bins. They’re being stored in an undisclosed location. It sounds crazy writing this even to me but history shows that the burning and elimination of the written word is a real thing. Preparing for those who come after us. I’ve also filled 3- four inch 3 ring binders with printed stories from online…many of which have already been scrubbed. I think to myself …what would we know about the ancient world without hieroglyphs or the Dead Sea scrolls? 🤷‍♀️ best investment I could think of to help my grands and whatever their futures hold.

I agree, great idea! Even better, hide the Word in our hearts ♥️ memorize scripture. No one can remove or change that.

Think The Time Machine.... I always wondered how the Eloi had no books, I guess all of their info was safely stored in the cloud.

The Eloi didn't need books anymore; they were farmed livestock, with everything provided for them. They had 'bread and circuses.' Remember when the main character found out they had a library, and the girl took him there, and he swept his hand across the shelf, the books dissolving into a dust cloud, from age and neglect? That and the drowning scene earlier, when he was the only one who cared that she was drowning, made him realize what had happened to humanity. In a way, we're like that man, trying to get our fellow citizens to see the value of information they either never hear or ignore if they do.

If you can find it, get a set of the 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, the pinnacle of encyclopedia publishing has never been equaled. I ordered mine in 1980 from King's Bookstore in Detroit when all the old Detroit families who made their money off the auto industry were having estate sales. I think I paid $300 - 1980 dollars. My grandchildren will inherit these.

I have numerous translations of the Bible. I have a large stack of old hymnals. It just seemed to me, when they started changing words in newer versions of Scripture and hymns, it was time to keep every one of them. I looked up an old hymn yesterday, to see if there was any difference. Sure enough, it had been completely renamed and the lyrics rewritten.... with a "modern" version....that made zero sense. It won't last, I tell myself... that old hymn is still relevant over 125yrs later. The "newer" one, not so much...

We do too. Many Bibles from 30 years ago. I hesitate to even buy one now without vetting it’s “new” print. Ugh. I did buy one recently for someone else and they were tying to sell me on a “new” version. I said nope 👎🏻.

I prefer the ESV but have no less than 10 translations, all written before 1985... the "old" days...

I have the 1560 edition. I have occasionally used it to check references.

Not to mention all the “new” versions keep changing and watering down the scriptures. So many versions and they don’t all say the same thing.

It's a translation of ancient languages, it's only to be expected that different translators would prefer different English renderings. That said, some of the new versions ARE truly terrible, so one should certainly do the research - but many are also quite decent, depending on the reader's preferred style and degree of "literalness" (ie, word-for-word translation versus translating an entire equivalent phrase).

Although there's also nothing wrong with sticking to a known trusted version if one already has a copy.
