The Bible should be our final authority, in all matters, we
should follow what the Bible says. And so we are going to follow what I
Corinthians 2:13 says, comparing spiritual things with spiritual and
rightly dividing the Word of truth II Timothy 2:15.
And so we will see how King James Bible use the pronoun it.
Revelation 12:4
Here we cans see that that the word “it” to the baby
itself. And common sense will tell us that the baby is not considered
as a lifeless thing. Even on the other version of the Bible, they have
the same usage.
NLT Rev.12:4 His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky,
and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she
was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as IT was
born.
NIV -19844 Rev. 12: His tail swept a third of the stars out of the
sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman
who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the
moment IT was born.
And there are numerous verses on every version of the Bible that will agree on this subject matter.
(NASB, ESV and NIV) - Matthew 12:45 and Luke 11:26
(NKJV, NIV, ESV and NASB) - Luke 8:29
Ecclesiastes 12:7 –
Here the last pronoun “it” is used to refer to the spirit because the gender was disregarded.
So let us first conclude that the Bible use “it” in any sort of
subject or object, depending upon the context on some of the verses.
Now, let us consult how the King James Bible use or refer to the Spirit through Jesus Christ.
John 14:16, John 14: 26, John 16:7-13, Luke 11:26, Mt. 12:45. All of
these accounts leads us to a conclusion that the Holy Ghost is part of
the Trinity, therefore Jesus Christ knew exactly who is the Comforter,
that’s why it’s always “He”, when the Lord Jesus Christ refers to the
Holy Ghost.
But contrary to to this are some of the verses. John
1:32, Romans 8:16, I Peter 1:11. In these given verses could see that
the King James Bible refers to the Spirit using the pronoun “IT”, unlike
in any other modern verses they use He, or Himself referring to the
Spirit.
Now, when it comes to the issues like this, (of which one is
correct), we have to consider the fact the translators of the King James
Bible are much more wise than what you think, their intelligence of
the translator of the modern version today are no match to the
knowledge of the King James Bible translator, they were not influenced
by the foolishness of this modern generation, Hollywood film maker,
neither they were influenced by any Satanic philosophy of this world.
There is of course underlying principle, why the King
James translator did not alter the pronoun “it”, instead of using
Himself.
Aside from the fact that “it” was in Greek
manuscripts and that every Greek students knows that the Spirit or
pneuma, has a pronoun “it” or “o”. There is still another purpose for
not compromising the truth.
Let us first review how “it” is used on our generation today.
It is used when referred to the person or animal whose sex is DISREGARDED or UNKNOWN.
Now that gives us an idea that Holy Ghost’s gender could be unknown or DISREGARDED.
Genesis 1:7, John 3:8
Clearly, it states here that you cannot tell
where the Spirit could be found, because you DON’T SEE it physically.
Ecc 11:5
It is another proof that man himself can’t KNOW EXACTLY what the Spirit does.
I Cor. 2:14
Now this clearly points out that he could not
easily discern spiritual things, because natural man are not capable
of knowing this.
Therefore we conclude that the KJB teaches us
that the Holy Ghost cannot be easily known by my man and most of the
gender are DISREGARDED because of its uncertainty or irrelevance. So
truly there is no mistake with our King James Bible. “IT” can really be
used to someone who is alive and moving. It’s just plain ignorance
because of lack of study or they’re just lying to prove their criticism
to the KJB.The pronoun it has many uses and is more unique with other
words. “IT” has many practical uses in our everyday life. Depending on
the context, you could understand how it is being used.
Example:
In John 6:20, the pronoun “it” is clearly used in
that verse referring to Jesus Christ. Now this gives us a clear
perspective that the “it” was used in reference to Jesus Christ, not
because Jesus Christ gender is “it”, but it’s much more appropriate to
use “it” rather than he. Or else the sense of the sentence will be
changed. He cannot say in this verse, “HE is I, but IT is I”. The same
goes with the Spirit, the pronoun “it” was used to the Spirit.
P.S.
Due to lack of time, this article is submitted and it is still under development and need some modifications.
Grace and Peace.
