			Genesis 6:5 and 2 Chronicles 8:16 - God, GOD, Lord, LORD?

			I will deal with a couple other examples that men like James Price, Doug Kutilek, Rick Norris, and James White often bring up in a vain and hypocritical attempt to overthrow the authority of the King James Bible and to get you to believe that there is no such thing as the complete, inspired and infallible Bible in any language on the earth today.

			In Genesis 6:5 the present day King James Bibles read: “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

			The first printing of the 1611 had the word God with a capital G and a small o and d, thus is was “God” instead of GOD. Amazingly enough, these Bible agnostics make a big deal out of this minor printing error that was soon caught and corrected in 1629 (according to Scrivener) to now read GOD.

			One of the principal versions actually used to criticize Genesis 6:5 is the NKJV - put out by James Price, of couse. The NKJV reads: “Then the LORD (10) saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth...” Then in the NKJV footnote they state: “Vulgate reads God.” Some online NKJVs footnote: “LORD - Following Masoretic Text and Targum; Vulgate reads God; Septuagint reads LORD God.” Thus the NKJV tries to make us think that the KJB somehow goofed and followed the Vulgate instead of the Hebrew texts.

			The NKJV is totally hypocritical. The NKJV itself translates the “tetragramaton” or # 3068/3069 (JEHOVAH, LORD, GOD) as both “GOD” and “LORD”, and so do versions like the NASB and many others.

			The NKJV has translated #3069 (yehhovee a variant of yehhovaw) as GOD in such passages as Genesis 15:2; Exodus 23:17, Deut. 3:24; 9:26; Joshua 7:7, Isaiah 25:8, 30:15, 40:10 etc. The NASB concordance shows that they have translated the word #3068 as GOD 315 times and as LORD 6399 times. The NIV shows they have translated this word as LORD over 6000 times, but also as “he, his, him, and me” some 40 times and have not translated it at all 38 times when it’s in the Hebrew, and 52 times they added it when it wasn’t in the Hebrew!

			Now, let’s compare various Bible versions to see how they have translated Genesis 6:5. Remember, the first printings of the 1611 had “God” but in 1629 this very minor printing error was caught and changed to GOD.

			Those bible translations that read “God” are: Bishops’ bible, Wycliffe, the Lesser Bible 1853, the New Berkeley Version 1969, the 1936 Hebrew Publishing Company version “And God saw that the wickedness of man...”, and the Word of Yah 1993.

			Those that read “Lord” are: Amplified, Holman Standard, Geneva, NET, ESV, NRSV

			Those that read “GOD” are: The Message, King James Bible from 1629 onward, Webster’s 1833, the 1998 Third Millenium Bible.

			Those that read ‘LORD’ are: NASB, NIV, NKJV, RSV

			Those that read JEHOVAH are: the ASV, Darby, Youngs

			Those that read Adonai - the Complete Jewish Bible

			Those that read Elohim - the Urim-Thummim Version 2001

			Does it really make any difference at all in the meaning of this verse whether you have the”Lord, LORD, God, or GOD”? Of course not, but this is the level of gnat-straining pickiness the “No Bible is inspired and infallible” guys are reduced to.
