The principle we are to follow is for us to "Prove all things by the Word of God" (1 Thess 5:21). That includes all ministers, teaching, preaching, doctrines, sermons, writings, opinions, and practices. Examine all by the light of the Bible. Any teaching that is not 100% supported by the Scriptures you are to reject wholly. Studying is not optional for Christians but required by God. In fact, we are commanded by God to "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim 2:15).

There is always a discrepancy between the original Greek to English and mankind has created more than 450 different English translations which have thousands of differences between themselves. So which version should you be studying if they are all saying different things? The best thing you can hope for is to find a translation that mirrors as closely as possible the original meanings of the scriptures. Even the King James scholars back in the 1600's did not understand Greek and clearly indicated that they did not, and they "combined" multiple prior writings to form the new KJV 1611 Bible so that both the Puritans and Protestants could agree through compromise and hence stop religious bickering between these two groups. They created a new "Bible" that they both could agree upon.

Since the KJV scribes were honest men, they openly admitted that they did not know the early Koine Greek (as no-one did) but instead selected existing verses from many previous English and Latin writings and putting them together from many authors and documents over the prior centuries the best way they could to create the compromise they needed and to be approved by King James. They also did not keep track of which of the hundreds of documents each verse was pulled from when they were all concatenated to form the KJV authorized version.

Since a "translation" (ie, decided by man) is the problem, what is needed is to go back in time and determine the primary meanings of each of the original Koine Greek words in the New Testament, and apply them to each word of the KJV textus receptus in sequence. The Pure Word project was started to do just that. After 22 years of research determining the original meanings of each Greek root word, The Pure Word was then created by applying word-for-word the meanings and parsings to each of the 140,745 words in the KJV textus receptus Koine Greek. It is for this reason, that we cannot call this a "translation" as no man had any input on what a single verse would say and due to the very nature of how it was created, traditions of man and opinion have been 100% eliminated wherever they previously existed and previously incorporated over the centuries for political, religious, or social control. The Pure Word is not a translation but an extraction of the original text and printed as is. This process removed known discrepancies and provides a consistency and clarity of meaning never before possible.

If you want to get right down to it, The Pure Word project actually spanned over 400 years to complete and the many lifetimes of dedicated Brothers and Sisters in Christ unknowingly working on the same project. (1) It started when the KJV scribes in 1604 started to gather the known translated documents and separating the misleading ones, creating the Majority Text and Textus Receptus (received text). (2) God's work continued 150 years later when Dr. Strong in the late 1800's separated the individual Greek words into the 5,624 Koine Greek root words (The Strong's Concordance). (3) Then, Scrivener in the late 1800's, with dozens of scholars working decades, painstakingly analyzed the parsings for each of the 140,745 words making up the Koine Greek New Testament. (4) The Only piece of the puzzle still missing was determining the exact meaning of each of the 5,624 Koine Greek root words (of step #2) to perfectly fit into each and every context of the New Testament. This required 22 years of research and millions of cross-references to ensure that each Word of God is indeed Pure as God said and is without mixture of meaning nor shared by another word (Psalms 12:6; Prov 30:5). (5) When the meanings were determined, it was a straight-forward process to take the Greek sequence of words determined by the King James scribes (of step #1) and substitute the primary meaning of each word in sequence, and adding the parasing of each word (of step #3). (6) When the conversion was complete, the NT scripture was printed as is and no changes of anykind other than adding section headings were made.
