Why are the words: "real" reality" "actual" "actuality" "exist" "existence" NOT found in the KJV Bible ?

Question

My Reference used: "The New Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible" Copyright 1990 Thomas Nelson
ISBN 0-8407-6750-1 (showing only KJV words)

Why are these important words not found in the KJV ?
What other important words are not used.?
Here is another important word not found in the KJV Bible: "Personality"

Which other Bible versions have all of these missing and needed words ? Is there a website where searching for a word will bring up the Bible(s) containing that word? Too bad that most newer Bibles are Copyrighted and can not be so searched online. This must change. Universal Truth sharing should be more important than mere money profits.

Thanks for answering ! Peace and progress into ALL TRUTH !

Answer 1

The canon of the Old Testament that Catholics use is based on the text used by Alexandrian Jews, a version known as the "Septuagint" and which came into being around 280 B.C. as a translation of then existing texts from Hebrew into Greek by 72 Jewish scribes (the Torah was translated first, around 300 B.C., and the rest of Tanach was translated afterward).

The Septuagint is the Old Testament referred to in the Didache or "Doctrine of the Apostles" (first century Christian writings) and by Origen, Irenaeus of Lyons, Hippolytus, Tertullian, Cyprian of Carthage, Justin Martyr, St. Augustine and the vast majority of early Christians who referenced Scripture in their writings. The Epistle of Pope Clement, written in the first century, refers to the Books Ecclesiasticus and Wisdom, analyzed the book of Judith, and quotes sections of the book of Esther that were removed from Protestant Bibles.


In the 16th c., Luther, reacting to serious abuses and clerical corruption in the Latin Church, to his own heretical theological vision (see articles on sola scriptura and sola fide), and, frankly, to his own inner demons, removed those books from the canon that lent support to orthodox doctrine, relegating them to an appendix. Removed in this way were books that supported such things as prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45), Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7), intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14), and intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15). Ultimately, the "Reformers" decided to ignore the canon determined by the Christian Councils of Hippo and Carthage.

The Latin Church in no way ignored the post-Temple rabbincal texts. Some Old Testament translations of the canon used by the Latin Church were also based in part on rabbinical translations, for example St. Jerome's 5th c. Latin translation of the Bible called the Vulgate.

The "Masoretic texts" refers to translations of the Old Testament made by rabbis between the 6th and 10th centuries; the phrase doesn't refer to ancient texts in the Hebrew language. Some people think that the Masoretic texts are the "original texts" and that, simply because they are in Hebrew, they are superior.

Some Protestants claim that the "Apocrypha" are not quoted in the New Testament so, therefore, they are not canonical.
Going by that standard of proof, we'd have to throw out Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, Obadiah, Nahum, and Zephaniah because none of these Old Testament Books are quoted in the New Testament.


But there is a bigger lesson in all this confusion over not only the canon but proper translation of the canon , especially considering that even within the Catholic Church there have been differing opinions by individual theologians about the proper place of the deuterocanonicals (not that an individual theologian's opinions count for Magisterial teaching!).
The lesson, though, is this: relying on the "Bible alone" is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message. While Scripture is "given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.
It is the Church that is the "pillar and ground of Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15)!
Jesus did not come to write a book; He came to redeem us, and He founded a Sacramental Church through His apostles to show us the way.
It is to them, to the Church Fathers, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith, to the living Church that is guided by the Holy Spirit, and to Scripture that we must prayerfully look.

That first website is excellent, with fifty versions, and all the sites are good. But some of the best Bibles are expensive and copyrighted. If they were only twenty dollars apiece, two billion Christians could buy eight a year to distribute and the world could be covered in less than a year. But we have our priorities, all of us, don't we? If a prominent religious leader suggested it, it might 'be' done. That would give the author, or someone, 320 billion dollars, isn't it? I guess people are short sighted. Does that sound familiar. And with all our genius. Six hundred and forty dollars a years per family. But I guess we're just powerless against the forces of evil. 20 million churches at 300k apiece is another 6 trillion, not to mention 200 billion a year for maintenance, salaries and the like. hm. What if Atheists, Muslims and all people of good will got together? I think we could muster up 4 billion people. Look, a majority.
But "Who will come to battle if the sound of the trumpet is unclear?"

And how about us. Jer 4:21,22 How long will I see the standard, And hear the sound of the trumpet? "For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge."
Ezek 7:14 'They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready, But no one goes to battle;

Everyone always sells out somewhere, for comfort or greed. Am I any exception? I can only try to be. We don't realize the price for ignorance. It's often many lives, including, our own. With enough money put on medical research, we, or our loved ones, might live decades longer and survive diseases that could've had a cure by now, if we were as concerned with people as we are with atoms. Technology is good, but sociology, politics, psychology, religion and anything to do with people is getting severely short changed for technology and money, as good as they are. IMO of course.

And it's terrible that you should let these questions run on for weeks, while we could be in Honolulu, instead of staying home, to find out what the true answer is. At least give us a hint.

Answer 3

It is further testimony to the corruptions found in the most corrupt Bible on Earth, that the KJV would not include words like real, actual and the like. For the KJV is not real, and has made significant changes to it to make it even more unreal.

Look for the word Sheol in the KJV. It isn't there. Removing this fairly important doctrinal word and replacing it with grave, and other equally incorrect synonyms, demonstrates that the KJV is unreliable.

Wake up world....There are lots of lies out there, but the truth is also there. You just got to go through a lot of lies to find it.

You can try Crosswalk.com. It used to have nearly 20 different bible versions and a search engine for words and phrases in the bible. Happy hunting.

Answer 4

I believe no matter how the Bible is analyzed, it is flawed. Strictly discussing only the New Testament, it was written two centuries after Christ was murdered. which was long before translators made the Bible readable for the masses. They had complete discretion over content. Before being released to the masses If a story wasn’t complete, multiple stories were woven together to form one book. Pieces were moved around and put together like a puzzle. When a turn of a phrase disagreed with the King’s Church, it was removed in its entirety. We now know that multiple scrolls of material, intended to be included as part of the Bible, were carefully hidden instead. This was necessary to avoid destruction of both the authors, and the information. We are aware of this as scripted Codices, have slowly been discovered. They’ve been carbon dated and authenticated by experts to prove they were written at approximately the same time the Bible. Numerous experts believe these writings were intended to be part of the original Bible. However, it is also true to say that these compositions are still the cause of great debate. Before the Bible was let loose to commoners, these powerful people had just simply raped it. When one controls the religion of a people, they then control those people. This is why it was so important to make sure the Bible only told the stories approved of by the King and his Church. It also explains the hiding of certain texts. If anything written even smacks of freedom for the common man, it must be destroyed. For if it was found that the King was not god, the King could loose his ability to control his kingdom. As the translators were loyal to the King, the Bible was edited very carefully indeed. Speaking only of the New Testament, the Bible remains one of the very best set of life instructions known to man. There is only one, most important law. It is: To love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might, and to love thy neighbor as you love yourself. If this Law is followed to the letter, it isn’t possible to break even one of the old Ten Commandments. When Jesus was born, all prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled. The Old Testament passed away with the first coming of the Christ. The Ten Commandments were no longer relevant. According the Christ the only Commandment needed in order to not sin is: To love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. This is how we can live more abundantly, which is as God wants us to live.
Blessed Be

Answer 5

Ok, first I have to say that I havent looked for those words before. I also have never missed them. I have read most of the bible and have found answers and been fulfilled!
So maybe those words that you think are so important are not so important after all! I think that words like Life and Truth and Honesty,and Love are much more important!

God bless

Answer 6

FYI: The 3 words you site can be found in 2 Nephi 9: 47 & Alma 32:35, according to my KING JAMES VERSION Bible.

Answer 7

As mentioned, such words were either unknown (most of them), or were not in common use at that time. The translators of the King James bible were intent on making their bible accessible to the common man - not to the well-educated, who could already easily read Latin and Greek.

Answer 8

The kjv was written in the 15th or 16th cent. in 'old english' so these words had not 'formed' yet.So I've gotta see if they are in my nkjv. It is supposed to be an updated version. However I've got my Interlinear Bible & Strong's, so for me, all is not lost. :)

Answer 9

I can name you a thousand more words not found in the bible. You had better stop worrying about them words and worry about whether YOUR NAME is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Answer 10

Note the following (particularly verse 9) in the 2 different translations.

Acts 12:8-10 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain



8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

Acts 12:8-10 (New King James Version)
New King James Version (NKJV)
Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.


8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 9 So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.


Keep in mind that the King James Version was begun in 1604 and published in 1611, and would have used the language of that time. Notice that in the example I just gave you, that the word "true" was used in the KJV, while the word "real" was used in the NKJV.
