APOCRYPHAL VERSES IN King James Version Of The BIBLE

After the removal of seven books from the Catholic Bible, here comes the turn of the K.J. version which became the second victim, and which also became exposed to so many criticisms and doubts. 

Every new sect of Christianity gives its own doubt against the K.J. version. It had been revised by 32 Bible Scholars of the highest eminence backed by 15 co-operating denominations. 

They all agreed in the introduction of the R.S.V, that: "The king James version has grave defects....and this defects are so many and so serious". Therefore, they allowed themselves to omit (through this declaration)many verses from it as you will see in these coming verses. The Mormons do not trust the K.J.V, the keep it under the watch of their own Mormon's book, the Jehovah witnesses submit that it contains 50,000 errors according to (AWAKE magazine 8 September 1957) and therefore they have their own "modified Bible".

Hence, We ask this : where is the role of the Holy Spirit who was supposed to lead them out of this confusion??!

(L.B.V) "Some of the most ancient authorities bring the book to a close at the end of verse 8. One authority concludes the book by ADDING after verse 8 the following: 'But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told.. ETC.'

The Story of Prophet Hud

Many people may be surprised to learn that Muslims also believe in many of the Prophets found in Jewish and Christian traditions.  Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, amongst many others, all figure prominently in the pages of Quran.  Believing in all of God’s prophets and revealed Books are two of the pillars of faith in Islam therefore; Muslims accept the Torah and the (Injeel) Gospels of Jesus.  However they also believe that these books were altered, or lost over the course of time. Consequently Muslims believe only what has been confirmed in the Quran or the authentic traditions of Prophet Muhammad.

In the Old Testament reference is made to a descendant of Noah named Eber.  In some traditions, he is called Heber, and known as the father of the Hebrew language.[1]  In Islam however he is known as Hud[2] and is one of four Arabic prophets, the others being, Saleh, Shuaib and Muhammad.  Renowned Islamic scholar of the 14^th century, Ibn Kathir, reports that Ibn Jarir also claims that Hud was a descendent of Noah.

Sent by God to his brethren, Hud spread the message that God is One and to worship Him alone.  It was the same message spread by all the Prophets of God.  Hud said to his people, “O my people, worship God, you have no other God but Him”.  (Quran 11:50).  Hud belonged to the ancient civilization known as Aad, and its capital city is believed to have been the fabled city of Ubar, known in Quran as Iram.  (89:6-7)

Aad is believed to have been situated in the wind swept hills between Oman and Yemen.  The people were known to build lofty towers, and thus the area became known as the land of a thousand pillars.  It was a civilization unlike any other.  God blessed Aad and its people.  He provided them with fertile land and abundant agriculture, many children, an ample supply of livestock and easy access to water resources.  The people themselves were described as tall, strong, and well built. 

In many ways, Aad could be described as a society much like many of the opulent societies that exist today.  There was an excess of wealth and the proud, arrogant people were not satisfied with fulfilling their basic needs.  They began to build towers and dwellings merely to display their wealth and they accumulated worldly possessions as if they were a people destined to live forever.

The rulers and leaders of Aad were powerful tyrants, their wealth did not make them soft, as sometimes happens, but rather they grew strong and dominated the lands around them.  Satan was among them and made their deeds seem fair seeming to them.  Their arrogance and pride grew and the worship of idols became prevalent.

Prophet Hud was also a strong man but he used his strength to confront the problems that abounded in his society, however, the people were too proud to listen.  They did not want Hud to point out their mistakes but he persisted in calling them to righteousness.  He said,

“O my people!  Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him, He will send you (from the sky) abundant rain, and add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as criminals, or  disbelievers in the Oneness of God.”

Hud tried to explain to his people that seeking God’s forgiveness for their rebelliousness and arrogance would only cause an increase in their strength and wealth.  God, he said, would reward their repentance with abundant rain and an increase in strength.  In the manner of arrogant people throughout time the people of Aad looked at Hud with disdain, they then looked around and found that they were the most powerful nation in existence.

The wealthy arrogant people of Aad argued with Hud about the nature of the Day of Judgment.  They believed that after death the body turned to dust and was swept away by the wind.  The people of Aad, much like many people today, believed that the purpose of life was to accumulate wealth, prestige, and possessions.  When Hud made them confront the reality of their lives and pointed out that they were far away from the One God, their arrogant chests swelled with pride and they accused him of being crazy.  They wondered why a man who ate and drank, just like them could have such a different view of life.  With their eyes firmly fixed on wealth and luxury the people of Aad convinced themselves that following Hud would mean that they to were crazy.

“There is nothing but our life of this world!  We die and we live!  We are not going to be resurrected!  He is only a man who has invented a lie against God, but we are not going to believe in him.” (Quran 23:33-3)

Eventually the people of Aad looked at Hud and said, “We understand why you are crazy, our god’s (idols) have harmed you because you insulted them”.  (Quran 11:53)  Hud turned to God and renounced his people.  He knew that God’s punishment would be swift and severe.  A drought spread throughout the once fertile and abundant land.  The people looked to the sky hoping to see signs of rain.  The punishment was obvious but still the people of Aad mocked and ridiculed Hud.

One fateful day the weather changed.  The burning heat changed to biting cold and the wind began to howl.  The savage wind increased with each new day and the people began to seek shelter.  The windstorm raged for more than a week.  It ripped apart tents and dwellings, it whipped away clothing and tore the skin from the body.

They were destroyed by a furious violent wind which God imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed) as if they were hollow trunks of date palms! (Quran 69:6-7)

Ibn Kathir tells us that the violent gale did not stop until the entire region, once lush and green was reduced to ruins and swallowed by the sands of the desert.  Only Hud and his small band of followers weresaved and are believed to have migrated to the Hadramaut area of what is today known as Yemen.

Why Does The Bible Ignore The Prophet (Hud)?

Hud was a Prophet to his people Ad. His message was:" Worship Allah and obey Him! There is no other god but Him, Ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance)" "Ad" was a pagan nation; they rejected Hud and thought that their gods hurt him and he is ill and inattentive. Then Allah destroyed the unbelievers and saved Hud and the believers. We need to discover precisely where "Ad" was and to look for their traces; however, I would suggest it was between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Hud and "Ad" are not mentioned in the Bible!

The smart readers are invited to read about the Prophet Hud and his nation "Ad" which the Bible does not mention them.

Hud and Ad are found in some details in chapters 11 and 26.

 

Chapter 11: HUD, verses 50-60

[50] To the 'Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!

[51] "O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him Who created me: will ye not then understand?

[52] "And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring abundant rain, and add strength: to your strength: so turn ye not back in sin!"

[53] They said "O Hud! No Clear (Sign) hast thou brought us, and we are not the ones to desert our gods on thy word! nor shall we believe in thee!

[54] "We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility." He said: "I call Allah to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing, to Him,

[55] "Other gods as partners! so scheme (your worst) against me, all of you, and, give me no respite.

[56] "I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! there is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its forelock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path.

[57] "If ye turn away, I (at least) have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another People to succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. For my Lord hath care and watch over all things."

[58] So when Our decree issued, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves: We saved them from a severe Penalty.

[59] Such were the 'Ad People: they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His Messengers; and followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor.

[60] And they were pursued by a Curse in this Life, and on the Day of Judgment. Ah! Behold! for the 'Ad rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were 'Ad, the People of Hud!

Chapter 26: AL-SHUARA, verses 123-140

[123] The Ad (people) rejected the Messengers.

[124] Behold, their brother Hud said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?

[125] "I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust:

[126] "So fear Allah and obey me.

[127] "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.

[128] "Do ye build a landmark on every high place to amuse yourselves?

[129] "And do ye get for yourselves fine buildings in the hope of living therein (forever)?

[130] "And when ye exert your strong hand, do ye do it like men of absolute power?

[131] "Now fear Allah, and obey me.

[132] "Yea, fear Him Who has bestowed on you freely all that ye know.

[133] "Freely has He bestowed on you cattle and sons,

[134] "And Gardens and Springs.

[135] "Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Great Day."

[136] They said: "It is the same to us whether thou admonish us or be not among (our) admonishers!

[137] "This is no other than a customary device of the ancients,

[138] "And we are not the ones to receive Pains and Penalties!"

[139] So they rejected him and We destroyed them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

[140] And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
