The Law Against Alteration of the Scriptures
To alter scripture is to destroy it. No such authority has ever been delegated to any living soul or organization. However, the Bible concordances of Strong, Young, and others, have provided verifiable and incontrovertible evidence of alteration of the scriptures on a massive scale, by the translators and authors of the King James Version.
The Law against alteration of scripture is clearly stated in the following six scripture passages:
----------------------
Deuteronomy 4:2
[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of {Yahweh} your {mighty one} which I command you.
----------------------
Deuteronomy 12:32
[32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
----------------------
Psalm 89:34
[34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
----------------------
Proverbs 30:6
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
----------------------
Galatians 1:7-9
[7] . . . but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
----------------------
Revelation 22:18-19
[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, {Yahweh} shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, {Yahweh} shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Conclusion. The successful transmission of the scriptures to succeeding generations can only be guaranteed by adherence to the strictest standard of fidelity to the exact words of the sacred text, as originally inspired, and to the fullest extent humanly possible. Translators are accordingly bound by the command expressed in the above six scriptural passages. The corrected KJV presented herein constitutes proof that the KJV translators have fallen far short of this standard.
