Luke 23:33 CALVARY ERASED FROM HISTORY? Is CALVARY Missing From Your Bible? Does CALVARY Belong In Your Bible? Is CALVARY a Doctrinal Issue? Lk 23:33 (KJB) And when they were come to the place, which is called CALVARY, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALVARY appears only one time in the entire King James Bible. If CALVARY is deleted, all of the Wonderful and Precious Hymns of CALVARY will be senseless to future generations. Historical Bibles consistently used the word CALVARY. The Early Church Fathers Loved the word CALVARY, 34 Occurrences. CROSS and CALVARY, 41 Occurrences in 10 Sections. The CROSS OF CALVARY sounds beautiful, Doesnt it? The cross of the skull, just not the same. Sorry, Im not buying it! The Modern Versions want to get rid of CALVARY. WHY? What is their motivation to ERASE CALVARY? Were the Translators for 1800 years wrong in translating CALVARY? Will CALVARY be ERASED from history? Not as long as we PRESERVE the King James Bible! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Modern Version Changes, Deletions, Deviations, and Omissions Year A.D.
