Revelation 3:8: "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. "

             The purpose of this website is to make God’s word available in a tangible book in as many languages as possible to anyone interested and searching for truth. Over the course of twenty years of extensive travel in missions, we have discovered that many missionaries and foreign pastors do NOT have access to the best Bible God has provided for them in their own language. Many are not aware of the Bible version issue, others are informed but do not have access to a "holy bible" in their language. We buy old Bibles from the Philadelphia church age period (circa 1500-1900 A.D., preferably before 1880), scan them page by page into the computer, and, since there are no copyrights on these Bibles anymore, make them available for free download over the internet. Our aim is especially to help those in countries where it is forbidden to have, print or distribute a "holy Bible", or even carry one into the country. This is certainly the case in many communistic and muslim countries as well as many Roman Catholic state-church- dominated countries.

            Anyone interested in ordering and receiving a tangible copy of a particular Holy Bible or portion of one (i.e. just John/ Romans or a New Testament) may contact us using the contact form found on this website. Information concerning your whereabouts will be kept absolutely secure.

            We appreciate your prayers as well as financial support for this ministry to supply those in closed countries with holy Bibles. Your support goes entirely to the printing, shipping and distribution of holy Bibles. See the contact form for more information.

            After we are able to get the holy Bible into a particular country, we organize Bible conferences for pastors, evangelists and Bible students to teach them sound doctrine. We have been able to do this in a variety of Roman Catholic, Muslim, Communistic and even apostate Protestant countries where the holy Bible of the Protestant Reformation has been replaced by "unholy bibles" from Egypt.

            The following is a short description of the history and fruit of these two streams of "holy" and "unholy" Bibles, ending with a checklist you can use to determine whether you have a "holy" or "unholy" Bible in your hands. This is surely the most important issue confronting the body of Christ before Jesus Christ comes back. He has warned us in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 as to what the choice of most will be. What will you choose? Will you uphold Truth with the minority of Christians or follow the majority of the Body of Christ into falsehood?

             It was the first created being, Satan, who questioned what God said: "Yea, hath God said?" Apostasy, sin and death started with questioning God’s words, subtracting from them, changing them and adding to them. Compare Genesis 3:2-3 with the original command in Genesis 2:16-17. God gives three warnings against this in his word: Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:5-6; Revelation 22:18-19. Yet, mankind has been practicing what Jehudi did about 600 B.C. in Jeremiah 36:23-24: destroying God’s words in God’s book and thereby calling God’s judgment on itself, either on families, churches, or whole nations, as exemplified the last 2,500 years in Israel, Greece and Asia Minor, North Africa, Germany, The Netherlands, U.K. and U.S.A.

            God inspired His words (Job 32:8; 33:4; Jer. 36:2-4; 2 Pet.1:20-21) and preserved His words (Psalm 12:7-8; Matt. 24:35). This is not limited to the original writings. Compare Jeremiah 36:1-2 with Jeremiah 36:21-23 as well as Jeremiah 45:1 with Jeremiah 51:63. The third "original" is what the Lord actually gave us to read and study. The first two were destroyed! In addition to this, the Scriptures never refer to themselves as originals: Acts 8:32; 17:11; 2 Timothy 3:15,16.

             God blesses inspired translations as given in Scripture: Joseph speaks Egyptian to his brother, which was interpreted (Gen. 42:23) and written in Hebrew. In the New Testament, Paul speaks in the Hebrew tongue in Acts 21:40, but Luke writes Acts 22:1-21 exclusively in Greek. The same occurs in Acts 9:5-6 and 26:14, where Jesus Christ’s Hebrew words are written down in Greek by Luke as Scriptures. Interestingly, the word "translation" in the AV 1611 defines itself as a change from a worse to a better situation, as given in 2 Samuel 3:10, Colossians 1:13, and Hebrews 11:5.

            In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus Christ and Satan both quote Scripture, but the god of this world changes it! He has been corrupting the New Testament from the start (2 Cor. 2:17; 4:2), accomplishing this today in the west mainly through tradition (Mark 7:13), philosophy (Col.2:8) and science falsely so called (1 Tim.6:20), and in African, South-American and Asian countries through persecution and confiscation and burning of Bibles. The lie today is that Satan never had his hand in Bible corruption one time in over 2,000 years, and that the best „Bibles“ show up at the end of the Laodicean church age. However, God has already warned that this age will end in the apostasy of the body of Christ.

There are also two streams of Bibles:

A corrupted, false, imitation "unholy" bible. //  A pure, true, real "holy" Bible

Origin: Egypt: type of the world. //  Origin: Antioch: start of Gentile Christians

Fruit: monastery, dark ages, suppression. //  Revivals, Reformation, Liberty, Progress.

Darkness, persecution, state-church setup. // Light, Democracy, Freedom of speech.

 Here follows a useful checklist of Bible verses to help determine whether you have a "unholy" or "holy" Bible: (an abbreviated list of about twenty verses appears with references in underlined italics)

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save you – now:

"Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I repent of my selfrighteousness and believe that you died for my sins, was buried and rose again from the dead after three days. I now trust you the best way I know how to save my eternal soul from hell and cleanse my debt of sin with your holy blood. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. Amen."
