#38981 Why is there a copyright on the Word of Yah (God)

Posted by Dan Baxley on 06 November 2020 - 06:47 AM in Announcements

It is my understanding that the KJV 1769 edition is in public domain, also the ASV, and from these two come a variety of other versions, so what is the gripe?  NIV?  NKJV?  Even the copyright versions agree in message with the KJV and the ASV.  The copyright is a protection, don't you see, from unscrupulous men misusing and mistreating the text beyond recognition.  The copyrighted words is a protection of intellectual works, to preserve the labors of talented translators.  I agree with you about the Name, but we must not forget the warning from our Lord YaHshua, delivered in various translations, copyrighted and not, where He says, that in the last days, many would come in His Name and deceived many.. Mat 24:5 -- that is a prophecy from our Savior that we should all be conscience of and not take lightly.  I see your frustration in how His Name is replaced or covered in the modern translations.  I see this delay in knowledge about Him as a blessing of a kind -- His name is protected from being misused so much -- look at how the false identity is used as a curse word and in other frivolous ways.  Perhaps the copyrighted versions are actually protecting His Holy Name from abuse -- and abuse our Lord and Savior YaHshua told us would come, but why help it to come, why be part of that particular prophetic word?  The truth will out, soon enough -- Rev 3:9.  Peace, Dan
