The Fruits of Textual Criticism and Modern Scholarship!
Take a look around! We see the fruits of a country in decline and a church that is divided into a thousand pieces, both in doctrine and faith. Just as we saw the fruits of revival, souls saved, the light of reformation, and freedom for 400 years since the1611 King James Bible was published, so now we see the fruits of deceit and doubt cast upon God's Word by scholars saying, "Yea, hath God said.."? (Gen 3:1)
Modern scholars & textual critics don't minister faith, nor believe that we have a preserved, perfect, and pure Word of God, only "in the originals" they say, but not for today. All they do is cast doubt upon God's Word, and the results are seen in a weak church with ministers questioning whether we have a final authority for us to hold and believe in. In other words, there is nowhere you can go buy a perfect bible, it does not exist today.
"..that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Neither
give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather
than godly edifying which is in faith: so do".
I Timothy 1: 3-4 KJV
These men "minister questions" not faith! It has become a doctrine to them to question God's Holy Word and spread the venom of doubt by which to remove the believers foundation in having a final authority in all matters of faith and practice. They strive about individual words in Greek or Hebrew and look to modern discoveries in caves as an answer to try to correct what God has already given us.
"Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that
they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers".
II Timothy 2:14 KJV
These so called "better rendering" or claims of "older manuscripts" and claims that this verse and/or that verse were translated as such, because they are closer to the "originals" (which we do not have) causes doubts, ministers questions, and subverts young ministers in bible and theological schools across the world. They then graduate after being indoctrinated and then spread unbelief to Christians as they have been taught. This goes all the way back to Alexandrian, Egypt where the original manuscripts were already being corrupted (II Cor 2:17) even as the Christians in Antioch were spreading the true Word of God. For those who care to see more evidence, below is a chart of Bible Family Trees so to speak, along with links to other scholars who have played the game, and quite well at that, proving the King James Bible to be the perfect, pure, and preserved Word of God. After all, God himself claims his Word is as such. Scholars twist Psalm 12:6-7 below also, claiming it does not refer to God's Word. (see pic at bottom of this page).
"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them
from this generation for ever".
Psalms 12:6-7 KJV
The manuscripts representing all modern versions of the bible come from a corrupted line all the way back to Alexandrian, Egypt, whereas the King James Bible came from an uncorrupted line in Antioch, where they were first called Christians. (Acts 11:26). In fact the corrupted Codex Sinaiticus which is in a British Museum is laden with errors, contradictions, and even disputed as 4th Century, for the powers that be, refuse any Carbon Dating, C-14 testing of the manuscript, in fear of a possible 19th Century origin. The issue arose in 2009 when the Sinaiticus became available online and it was found that some pages were snow white and other pages appeared orange and brown, questioning Constantine Tischendorf's credibility as to the age of the find. Original digital copies of Sinaiticus can now be viewed online in photos.
"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as
of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ".
II Corinthians 2:17 KJV
In fact, modern scholars and translators being convicted of the evil deeds of omitting, corrupting, and deleting the Word of God, actually hid their own titles in Malachi 2:12 for fear of exposure.
These men of high degrees and masters of divinty so-called have allowed their wisdom to be their own stumbling block, and their teaching causes weak Christians to stumble in the faith.
"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the
understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the
disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after
that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe".
I Corinthians 1:19-21 KJV
That's right, the foolishness of holding a King James Bible, preaching in faith and proclaming it to be the very perfect, pure, and preserved Word of God! These "men of high degree" in (Psalms 62:9) also hide/change their names to "highborn" in the N.I.V. and modern versions of the bible thus concealing their degrees which God says are a lie. These modern bibles take out the blood of Christ, Jesus, the Holy Trinity, Christ's Divinity and much more! There are over 60,000 omissions, deletions, perversions, changes, and watered down alterations in changing the Word. Below are just a few examples. Aside from playing the Greek and Hebrew game show, let's use some common sense and with an honest heart examine the perversions for yourselves to see how these modern versions destroy the true meaning of some wonderful verses. Let's examine the fruits of "textual criticism" shall we?
It is very clear that there have been changes and omissions to God's Word and that all the modern versions do is cause confusion. However, it seems no matter how much evidence is provided, that those who have become indoctrinated into this scholarship only mentality, choose to stay dogmatic in "ministering questions" rather than "faith" in what God said. Below is yet another chart of the family trees of God's Word for review.
For those that still need more evidence we recommend the two books below for an even more in depth study into this critical topic. We however, prefer what God has already said about his own Word.
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul"..... Psalms 19:7 KJV
"Every Word of God is pure".............. Proverbs 30:5 KJV
"Forever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:89 KJV
God's Word is perfect, pure, and preserved! God settled it, it is done! Amen!
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ".
Colossians 2:8 KJV
"The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar,
out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the
Lord of hosts".
Malachi 2:12 KJV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thousands and thousands of omissions, changes, deletions and perversions. We can think of nothing worse, than the modern versions calling Jesus the Devil as seen above.
That old serpent is hissing
Are we so blind not to see
Verses are missing
Not in God's Word the KJV
It's an amazing thing that most textual critics do not see the work of the enemy as a factor in any of the modern translations of the bible. It's as though the enemy does not exist.
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant
of his devices". II Corinthians 2:11 KJV
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according
to their works". II Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
Dear God, please open the eyes of your people, your ministers, and yes, even the critics in Jesus name, Amen! This author has compassion for even the critics, that we believe the Lord may turn some in this end time. We pray for them, as we request their prayers also. I know there are some KJV only folks that have good intentions, but all things should be done in compassion, without compromise at the same time. Use wisdom, patience and honest debate in your approach and let God's Word point the finger without getting too personal. We ourselves, over 30 years ago in bible college read the N.I.V. and was shown by a minister (not Peter Ruckman BTW) the differences without getting beat over the head. After two years of research and arguments with our Greek and Hebrew professors, God called us out. (Jeremiah 18:1-5). Have a little common sense with your Christianity, it goes a long way. Let the word be the hammer, set the Lion loose, and always pray for wisdom and for an anointing of the Holy Ghost. Yes, through discerning of spirits, I see (at times) that many critics have been taught by a powerful line of teachings, that they believe they are doing a good thing. During these moments, the prophetic scriptures you have seen here are mixed with a deep breaking and prayerful look into their eyes in asking God to touch their hearts, open their eyes, as he did us many years ago. So please don't misinterpret our intentions here, you are in our prayers. We are not here to judge you.
Now for the final case exhibits; for those that refuse to listen unless we go deeper into one last epsidode of the Greek and Hebrew Game Show! Several small examples of the foolishness of this game and why simple faith in God's Word is a more sure thing. P46, Papyrus 46, one of the oldest known manuscripts in existence is dated 175-225 A.D. Read about P46 here! In II Corinthians 4:6 "Jesus" is omitted in most all modern versions, the same versions that claim they use older and more accurate manuscripts. So why would translators take "Jesus" out if the oldest known P46 has it? (Genesis 3:1)!
Notice the two separate words, it's Jesus Christ as we also see and confirm in Colossians 1:1 from P46 (actual museum copies) in second clip shot above to the right with the same wording. So once again, even the critics in using their own argument about using more ancient/older manuscripts, P46 and the KJV both have "Jesus Christ" whereas the modern versions have deleted/omitted away our "Jesus" in this verse! As we said before, corruptions of scriptures were taking place as early as 60 A.D. when Paul was writing the originals, (II Corinthians 2:17) and corruptions are still taking place to this day.
Also we have "....Thou shalt not bear false witness".... in Romans 13:9 KJV
To prove there is corruption going on and whoever translated this verse into the Nestle's Greek text, omitted it from their own corrupt Codex Sinaiticius of which most modern versions claim they come from. Not only does the KJV and older manuscripts have the conviction in pointing to these "false witnesses", the modern scribes of the scriptures, but even Sinaiticius has it in it's own Greek text shown below! They also omit it in the box with the English translation. Wow! Case closed folks, it does not get any slicker than this! The modern translators rejected and omitted from their own greek manuscripts "thou shalt not bear false witness" because the verse did not agree with the KJV and the Textus Receptus. They also have a tendency to omit verses that call them out. Conviction?
We could give thousands of examples such as in John 7:8 below where modern versions omit the word "yet" which some claim makes Jesus a liar by telling his disciples he was not going up to the feast but went anyways. By omitting the word "YET" it makes this verse open for such a claim, which some Muslim Scholars have used. Even Nestle's Greek (NA/28 which is not the Greek Text of the KJV) admits below that P66 contains "yet", which is one of the the oldest manuscripts on earth, yet still they refuse to place the omission back in. So much for "the older manuscripts say" or "later scribes added it"!
It's a big scam folks. May God open your eyes. Please watch these videos below for an eye opening experience. Don't be a minion of these blind scholars, become a Bible Believer and rejoice in discovering God's Word!
A final thought. If you don't have faith in God's Word and Manuscript Evidence does not do the job, how about some basic logic and/or Vegas odds if you will. Have you ever noticed the words omitted from the King James Bible are words such as God, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Glorious Gospel, Fasting, In the Lord, Heaven, Hell, Baptized with Christ, Angels, I Thank God, Everlasting, the Blood of Jesus, (Colossians 1:14), and thousands of heavenly words the Devil hates. Satan is not concerned with the Chariots the Kings had, the number of horses Solomon had, the harp David played, the food the Apostles ate, or with the Frogs in Egypt (Exodus), the trees, birds and fish. The enemy does not attack any words or verses that are not a threat to him. What are the Vegas odds that there really is an evil force out there attacking God's Word, for odds are these other words would have also be deleted or changed. Satan could care less about the coinage used from Rome, but he sure hates the Blood of Jesus. He could care less about the names of rivers or lakes, but he sure hates the name of God and Jesus. Come on folks, at the very least use common sence and listen to Paul, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices". II Corinthians 2:11 KJV
And for you scholars who enjoy playing the Hebrew and Greek Game Show, listen to a true Hebrew Grammar Professor who exposes your silly game show regarding Psalm 12:6-7 and other verses you try to corrupt with your fraudulent twisting of scriptures. Your masculine and feminine interpretations to twist verses to mean what you want them to say, Professor Extraordinarius, Mr. Wilhelm Gesenius quotes, "ALSO IT IS WRONG TO INSIST THAT BIBLICAL HEBREW GRAMMAR AND SYNTAX MUST CONFORM TO THE ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND SYNTAX"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bart Ehrman an unbelieving Gnostic and mystic has made attacking God's Word and promises a full time living. But God has his number, and so do we in warning God's people about such men.The titles of his books expose his very own unbelief. Here is a man that instead of writing about and accusing God of having a "Problem", he may want to get on his knees in repentance while there is still time. Let us hope such a one will repent, or even make it into the Kingdom of Heaven for 1000 years of teaching, he needs it. Research that!
