       DOES JESUS HAVE IMMORTALITY OR NOT?
       By: doug Date: February 21, 2026, 10:41 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Someone said 1 Timothy 6:14-16 is saying in verses 15 and 16
       that both of these verses are about God the Father and not
       Christ, is this based on newer translations?
       I will give the KJV first then the NIV to compare and comment
       on:
       The KJV.
       [1 Timothy 6:14 KJV] "That thou keep [this] commandment without
       spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
       Christ:"..........This clearly states who he is talking about.
       He is talking about Christ Jesus
       [1 Timothy 6:15 KJV] "Which in his times he shall shew, [who is]
       the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of
       lords;"..............Christ who is "the blessed and only
       Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords" will appear in
       his time.
       [1 Timothy 6:16 KJV] "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the
       light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor
       can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting.
       Amen."...............WHO only is Christ. Christ has immortality.
       The NIV.
       [1 Timothy 6:14 NIV] "to keep this command without spot or blame
       until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
       [1 Timothy 6:15 NIV] "which God will bring about in his own
       time--God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and
       Lord of lords,"...........this translation says "which God"
       which from the text does not appear in the lexicon for the NIV.
       This is a blatant corruption of the Word; It doesn't take a
       scholar to recognize or expose this. "which God" is an
       unsubstantiated insertion into this verse.
       Both the KJV and the NIV say He is king of Kings. The King of
       Kings can be identified through these verses:
       
       [John 1:29 KJV] "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him,
       and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
       the world."..............John Identifies Jesus as the Lamb,
       which taketh away the sin of the
       world...................[Revelation 5:6 KJV] "And I beheld, and,
       lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in
       the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
       having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
       of God sent forth into all the earth."
       [Revelation 5:5 KJV] "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep
       not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David,
       hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals
       thereof."
       [Revelation 5:6 KJV] "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the
       throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
       stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven
       eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the
       earth."
       [Revelation 5:7 KJV] "And he came and took the book out of the
       right hand of him that sat upon the throne.".............These
       verses all point to Christ Jesus as being the slain Lamb. If
       Jesus is the lamb, then it is He who is King of Kings, as
       affirmed by this next verse; the Lamb is called the King of
       Kings...........[Revelation 17:14 KJV] "These shall make war
       with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord
       of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are]
       called, and chosen, and faithful.".......Jesus is called the
       King of Kings.
       Jesus ruling the nations with a rod of iron identifies him as
       King of Kings:
       [Revelation 12:5 KJV] "And she brought forth a man child, who
       was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
       caught up unto God, and [to] his throne."..........This man
       child was to rule the nations with a rod of
       iron..........[Revelation 19:15 KJV] "And out of his mouth goeth
       a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he
       shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
       winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
       [Revelation 19:16 KJV] "And he hath on [his] vesture and on his
       thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
       LORDS."......................The man child seen in Revelation
       12:5 is said to rule with a rod of iron; from these verses
       (Revelation 19:15-16), it can be seen that Jesus will rule the
       nations with a rod of iron. The one who rules with a rod of iron
       is called King of Kings, Jesus rules with a rod of iron, and
       therefore is King of Kings...........[Psalm 2:7 KJV] "I will
       declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my
       Son; this day have I begotten thee."
       [Psalm 2:8 KJV] "Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen
       [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth
       [for] thy possession."
       [Psalm 2:9 KJV] "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou
       shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's
       vessel."....................The begotten Son is the Lord Jesus
       Christ who will break the heathen nations with a rod of iron. It
       is the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who rules with a rod of iron
       and is King of Kings.
       [1 Timothy 6:16 NIV] "who alone is immortal and who lives in
       unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be
       honor and might forever. Amen.".................The King of
       Kings is the Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore is the one who has
       immortality.
       This is the most pernicious corruption of scripture I have seen.
       The immortality and diety of Christ had to be removed by the
       newer Bible translators.
