SCRIPTURE PRESERVATION.
This subject had been
contentious for a very long time.
The first question is that, is the HOLY BIBLE in our hands the same as the word of God given to his people in the old times? Secondly, why are so many verses altered or changed to the extent that they give different sense to the text? Thirdly, why are too many verses or words omitted? Fourthly, why are there so many versions of the bible?

By whose authority, are these translators
based their work on?
Which rights do these translators have to
alter the inspired word of God?
ALL SERIOUS GOD
FEARING CHRISTIANS MUST HAVE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS.
ORIGIN OF DECEPTION.
Satan on his part, in the body of the
serpent told Eve in Genesis 3:1, that: “Yea, hath God
said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Here Satan presented himself as misinformed and never
wanted, neither desired, to know the truth. He is a LIAR and the father of liars- John 8:44. His statement was to bring doubt
to Eve on what God commanded Adam to do. God commanded Adam to eat of every
tree except of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but Satan twisted the
statement “Ye shall not eat of every tree.”
Eve instead of rebuking Satan joined
forces with him. She said: “We may eat
of the fruit of the tree of the garden”-Genesis 3:2 Get the
notion of ‘May’ an aggravation of doubt in her. She also
omitted the word ‘freely’ spoken by God to Adam in Genesis 2:16 something
that applied to the current bible translators.
She continued: “But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die”- Genesis 3:3. God did not tell Adam of the tree in the midst of the garden. The tree
in the midst of the garden was Eve’s discovery or theory just like translators
who tried to dig for more discoveries to support their corrupt manuscripts. God
prohibited man from eating the tree of knowledge. Eve also lied by adding the
words ‘neither shall ye touch it.’ God did not tell Adam not to touch, but not to eat.
Having convinced Eve in his deadly blow of
deception, Satan gave the final shot, saying: “Ye
shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”- Genesis 3:4-5. No one can change God’s command, other than God himself. Satan
desired to be like God, the Most High (Isaiah 14:14). He did the same by
deceiving mankind to be like God. God pronounced death to Adam upon violation
of his command. Satan promised life in his deception which he never offered
neither accomplished.
This is exactly what is happening in the
current world. The numerous bible versions we see do not have the aim of
simplifying the understanding of the Gospel, neither updating the archaic words
used in the old primitive past, but exactly the hands of Satan working in the
hearts of evil men in corrupting the word of God for money making. They don’t
want people to get saved but to live in wickedness, corrupt worship, of
assumptions, prosperity, and many vices.
Peter, the apostle, the son of Jonah, of
Bethsaida, originally a fisherman wrote in his epistle that: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is
of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost”- 2 Peter1:20-21. The prophecy of the scriptures is
the Old Testament, explained from the Greek word graphe. The Old Testament scriptures did not originate from human
ingenuity, neither impulse of man. There is nothing good in man that can change
man. The
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually- Genesis 6:5. Opinions or wills of men are not
the scriptures. The holy men were moved by the Holy Ghost- that is exactly the
power of God. They became holy because of God. They became God’s mouth piece.
They were God’s penmen. Men did not invent the scriptures, and it is forbidden
if they can think of inventing it now. On this account Paul, the apostle told
Timothy that: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”-1 Timothy3:16-17. That is the Old Testament and New
Testament stood on their toes as they were given by God. They cannot be
changed. They cannot be revised.
Serious bible readers or Christians should know that there is “the original Bible” in our possession, as well as the fake bibles. The war in the Bible versions or translations had dramatically taken the shape in respect to the rift between Catholic and Protestants. What led to Protestants breaking away from the Roman Catholic was the issue of the scriptures, in 1550. The then pioneers discovered corruption in Latin Vulgate, as they read Greek parallel, in something that later came to be known as Erasmus Greek Testament, as well as comparison to the preserved Masoretic text. Just as Roman Catholic prevented people from accessing the scripture in old times, the same is done today by bringing in fake bibles in order to doubt the word of God. Please note that Greek Text existed before 50-100 A.D. Erasmus first printed it, and made it publicly available in 1516. Textus Receptus came in 1624, long after King James Version in 1611. King James Version, also called Authorized Version is based on Masoretic text that preserved the Hebrew text in A.D. 900 and Erasmus Greek Testament.
God had preserved his word. There is no
reason to speculate neither made the assumptions that the word of God as given
to people of old days were long destroyed, and people have to rely on
fragmentary materials or manuscripts. It is not democracy, where the majority
votes carry the day.
THE ANCIENT VERSIONS.
1.
The Hebrew Text.
Serious care was taken by the Jews to
preserve the scriptures immediately after the end of Babylonian captivity,
during the time of Ezra. In Nehemiah 8:8, the record was very straight that: “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the
sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” A similar alphabetic script dating 1750 to1550 B.C. found in Sinai revealed the
sense of the mound of Old Lachish from
Israel, containing bowl, jar and a sword
containing brief inscriptions- Joshua 10:31-32. 26 letters found at Lachish consisted of broken pieces of pottery on
which were in scripted the original Hebrew by a military commander during
Nebuchadnezzar in 588 B.C. The Hebrew canons were preserved on animal skins, elsewhere rendered
vellum or parchment, and also on papyrus. Papyrus grew in the marshes of River
Nile.
Many men of God wrote the Hebrew bible.
It sacredness and authority was recognized by the Jews throughout, from
Diaspora to Mainland. Present scholars who disputed that papyrus and parchments
are outdated, specifically analog, in preference to codices are deceiving the
people and indeed are used by Roman Catholic in corruption of the scriptures.
Two things are important. First, is that
the Hebrew bible had not changed. The one today is the same as original. No
alterations of language presentation. The language is original. Secondly, it must
be taken seriously into account that we have autograph copies of the Hebrews
and Greek scriptures. These are Masoretic text and Erasmus Greek Testament.
These are called originals. Only evil men, doubters tried to destroy them.
Hebrew named Onkelos, believed to be a pupil of Gamaliel tried to corrupt the
Hebrew text in his Targum, in order to support codices, a man whom majority of
bible commentators support.
2.
The Septuagint.
This was a Greek translation made by
learned Jews from Alexandria in Egypt, from the Hebrew bible. The number of the
learned Jews were 70 hence LXX, even though some believed them to be 72. The Pentateuch was completely
translated in 250 B.C. during the reign of Ptolemy Lagos and the entire work was finished in 285 B.C., during
the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
These Greek speaking Jews did not use the
classical language, but rather the common Greek language of the New Testament
called Koine. The aim of the translation was not to convince the Gentiles, but to
preserve the true worship of God among the Jews of Dispersion in the language
they commonly used. For this reason, of the literal and simple translation, the
Jews respected it with high esteem, quoting it frequently in their Talmud.
Septuagint, also called LXX, was exactly original translation from original Hebrew manuscript.
The evidence is the oldest extant fragments from papyrus roll of Deuteronomy
dated 150 A.D., found on Egyptian mummy, and is now kept in the John Ryland’s
Library, Manchester, England.
When Alexandrian Jews requested the
scholar Aquila to edit the LXX in 2nd
century A.D., some errors crept in. The differences
or variations noticed in the LXX, was as a result of the work
of Origen in 240 A.D. Roman Catholic used this man to corrupt LXX. He was their bishop.
CORRUPT MANUSCRIPTS.
Most of the modern bible versions
originated from Roman Catholic. The translations are based on ALEXANDRIAN TEXT, also
called CODEX ALEXANDRINUS, CODEX VATICANUS and CODEX
SINAITICUS. It is important to the reader to notice as to why so many verses are
missing from the new versions based on these corrupt manuscripts. It is because
of omissions in these codices.
Codex Alexandrinus.
Is also called Codex Alexandrinus, “A”.
Codex
Alexandrinus originally corrupted the entire bible
plus additional early writings. The Old
Testament did not have Genesis 14:14-17; 15:1-5,16-19; 16:6-9; 1Samuel 12:18-14:9; Psalms 49:20-79:11. It had 4 books of Maccabees,
additional of two books to 1 and 2 Maccabees in the Apocrypha. It added Epistle of
Athanasius to Marcel Linus on the Psalter after Psalms, and also
added Psalms 151.
Can you see the crafty work of Satan on
this codex?
The New
Testament omitted Matthew1:1-25:6; John 6:50-8:52, and 2Corinthians 4:13-12:6. The New Testament included two epistles of Clement of Rome a clear evidence of Catholic’s participation in this corrupt
manuscript. Its leaves were 123/4x101/4 inches in
size. This corrupt manuscript appeared in Walton’s Polygot Bible in1657, Revised
Version in 1881 to 1885, American Standard Version in1901, Revised Standard Version in1946 to 1952, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures by Jehovah Witnesses, Clear Word Bible by Seventh Day Adventist, among others.
E. Maund Thompson edited a photographic
facsimile of the entire manuscript, and published it in1879 to 1883. It was
published in a reduced facsimile in 1909 to 1936.
HOW CAN THE
BIBLES TRANSLATED FROM THIS CODEX BE ACCURATE? That’s why in NIV BIBLE
COMMENTARY it is argued that the record from John7:52 to the
story woman accused of adultery in John 8:1-11, were not in the original manuscript. Which manuscript do they refer
as original, if not this corrupt CODEX
ALEXANDRINUS?
Codex Vaticanus.
Believed to be the oldest manuscript, though its age cannot surpass the papyri. The codex appeared in the catalogue of the Vatican Library, St. Peter’s Square, Catholic Church, Rome, in A.D. 1481. It is sometimes called Codex “B”. The codex is dated 4th century A.D., (not necessarily accurate but the date given by scholars defending it) written in 3 columns to the page in a neat uncial hand.
To begin with the codex did not contain
the entire Bible. It omitted the Books of Maccabees and Prayer of Manasseh in Apocrypha. Scriptures missing in the
Old Testament were: 46 chapters of Genesis; Psalms
105-137, 1 Samuel 11-13 and 2 Samuel 2:5-7, 10-13. This is the reason why
the corrupt versions had various readings for 1 Samuel 13:1. For instance ESV- Saul was
one year old when he reigned for two years in Israel, ASV- Saul was
thirty years old when he began to reign, reigned one year; and when he had
reigned two years over Israel. In Hosea 12:3, the ASV had corrupted the passage to read that: He {Jacob} took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his manhood
{reproductive organ} he had power with God. IMAGINE THIS
KIND OF BLASPHEMY.
In the New Testament the codex did not
contain Matthew 1-4,6,17-18, 25 onwards, Roman 8, 1 Corinthians 7 to
16, Pastoral Epistles, entire epistle of Hebrews. That is
the reason as to why modern versions deny Paul, the apostle’s authorship of Hebrews. Again it
is the same reason why Romans 8:1, is not complete in modern versions. NIV, in 1Corinthians 7:1, states
that Paul the apostle wrote that: “…. It is not
good for a man to marry.” This was a lie, corruption to support Celibacy in
Roman Catholic.
The codex did not have Revelation chapters 1-14, again from 17 to 22. The
Epistles of James, 1&2 Peter, and 1, 2, &3 John were
contentious scriptures placed after The Acts of
Apostles. Again 1John 5:7-8 was missing. This is the reason as to why
there are various renderings of 1 John 5:7-8 in modern versions.
It contained less leaves, each measuring 101/2x10 inches, from the purported pages of 820.
Biblical scholars found it difficult to
ascertain the contents, or authenticity of Codex Vaticanus, even
after the time, the German named Tischendorf Von Constantine, after
several months of waiting, was permitted to see it for six hours in 1843.
It was full of errors, twisted the
scriptures, to the extent that the Vatican Authorities put a stumbling block in
the ways of Scholars who wanted to study it. It was revealing the hands of
Roman Catholic in corrupting the word of God. Tischendorf however promoted it extensively, since he hated King James Version.
Here is the recapitulation of Codex Vaticanus:
(1)
In
the Gospels alone, Codex Vaticanus left out words/ clauses more than 1,491 times.
(2)
Codex Vaticanus had careless transcription on every page.
(3)
Codex Vaticanus had open/ gross cases of misspelling,
faulty grammar, and omissions.
(4)
Codex Vaticanus had been corrected, by revisers in the 8th, 10th and
15th centuries. These revisers wrote their
own opinions, not the scriptures.
(5)
Codex Vaticanus had been mutilated, overwritten, doctored, and added
for more than 10
centuries. Therefore, it is not clear to date it as 4th century A.D.
(6)
Codex Vaticanus omitted more than 749 sentences,
452 clauses, plus 237 other words, from Matthew to Luke
alone. Total numbers of words omitted were more than 2,877 words.
(7)
Mark 16:9-20 was omitted, but blank space, column, was
left, in order to insert further corrupt verses.
(8)
Hebrews was omitted because it pointed stoppage
of priesthood in the Roman Catholic.
(9)
Codex Vaticanus was reminiscent of Classical and Platonic
Greek, not Koine Greek. Nestle Text, revised it to appear like Koine Greek.
(10)
Codex Vaticanus, all in all, was corrupt and unreliable.
Cardinal Mai, in 1857 and 1859,
published two editions of the manuscript. They were found to be fully useless,
because of their inaccuracies, and far from original.
The German Tischendorf visited Vatican again with
the aim of editing, publishing the manuscript in 1866, but his request was rejected by Vatican
Authorities. He was only allowed to read it 3 hours a day. In that same year after a
couple of days Tischendorf was caught red handed copying Codex Vaticanus contrary
to the agreement between him and the Vatican Authorities. His permit was revoked, but he pleaded with
Authorities to pardon him. Eventually, he was authorized to renew his work for 6 additional days. He had in
total 14 days to hurriedly complete his work. He finally published the Codex in
1867, and the Vatican Authorities presented the publication of facsimile
edition to scholars in 1889 to 1890.
This corrupt manuscript is part of the
manuscripts used by NIV translators in 1978.
How can this codex, discovered and
revised/ corrected in 1843, 1857-1859, 1866, 1889-1890, be more accurate or reliable than the AUTHORIZED VERSION, commonly
called KING JAMES VERSION of 1611?
HOW CAN A
CATHOLIC MANUSCRIPT BE CALLED ORIGINAL, IF THIS IS NOT CONFUSION?
Codex Sinaiticus.
Is also called Aleph and contained limited fragments of the Old Testaments of equal age with Codex Vaticanus, “B”. This corrupt manuscript is in the British Museum.
Tischendorf von
Constantine who discovered Codex Vaticanus, styling
himself as the Biblical detective was again taken as the hero who discovered Codex Sinaiticus.
In his search for older manuscript, the
German travelled to Middle East, where he happened to visit St. Catherine Monastery- an Orthodox Church, at Mount Sinai in 1844. In this Monastery, there was a Library
where the German was employed to work. On his time of service, he spied in a
wastebasket some leaves of vellum, used for lighting stove, with the oldest
Greek writings on them that he had never seen. Examining closer, the leaves
contained part of the Greek Bible, purported to be Septuagint. The German by
permission picked 43 leaves and kept them, since two baskets were already been
destroyed on fire, as revealed to him by the librarian.
Later more sheets were brought to be
burnt. This time Tischendorf requested for more 80 leaves. The librarian made to him perfectly clear that they were
corrupt manuscripts, had not been used/ neglected for a long time and that was
the reason as to why they must be burnt. He even told Tischendorf to examine
seriously the 43 leaves he picked earlier, in his possession to see the scriptural
corruption. Tischendorf did not mind to do so because he hated King James Version, Erasmus
Greek Testament and Textus Receptus.
Tischendorf deliberately neglected the
advice. He pressed for the 80 leaves. This prompted the Orthodox monks of St. Catherine Monastery
to become suspicious of his evil agenda of picking the leaves of the corrupted
manuscripts, and in the process would not let him have them.
Tischendorf left Sinai with the 43 leaves he
had picked. He found that they contained 1 Chronicle; 2 Edras, Tobit, Jeremiah and the entire book of Esther.
Tischendorf presented to King Frederick
Augustus of Saxony, and published the contents of the 43 leaves as Codex Frederico- Augustanus. They are now in the University of Leipzing
Library, now identified as Karl- Marx Universitatsbibliothek, and were
separated from the rest of Codex
Sinaiticus.
Tischendorf returned again to Mount Sinai in 1853, but this time his mission was
unsuccessful.
In 1859 he made another attempt, travelling at
the expense of Czar Alexander II of Russia. Almost on the brink of failing
again, on the day he was supposed to return to his country, the German happened
to meet one of the Orthodox stewards from St. Catherine Monastery, who
surprisingly told him he had a copy of the Septuagint. The steward was
suspicious himself, because he was agent used by Orthodox- Catholic
relationship to conceal the real scriptures, in order to give the corrupt one.
The steward even asked himself: “Would this visitor like to see it?”
Tischendorf had no choice, but to go and examine the
manuscript. He, remembering his earlier
failures because of excessive enthusiasm was calm in his remarks as he studied
the remaining of the manuscript he had first seen 14 years earlier. Old
Testament had only 156 leaves, that is, most scriptures were missing. The New
Testament had all, though extensively corrupted. It was strange that this New Testament had added New Testament Apocrypha which includes: “The Epistle of Barnabas and part of the Shepherd of
Hermas”- all these lay under his rapt gaze.
Tischendorf, the German, tried to
purchase the manuscript, but the steward refused. He tried to borrow it and
take it from Mount Sinai to Cairo, but the steward refused again.
An oblique approach then knocked sense to
his brain. He suggested to the Orthodox
steward that since Czar Alexander II of Russia, was the protector of the Greek
Orthodox Church in Russia, it would be gracious act to present the manuscript
to him. The Orthodox monks of St. Catherine Church, wanted election of a new
bishop to replace the one they termed radically rebel. They needed Czar’s help,
so they agreed to Tischendorf proposal. They gave him the corrupt manuscript in
order to get Czar’s favour. Surely! Can one
use a Bible, genuine manuscript to bribe his way? THIS TRANSACTION WAS EVIL. THIS IS
NOT THE WAY TO GET ORIGINAL BIBLE BUT PIRACY, CORRUPT. THIS WAS CORRUPT GREEK
TEXT.
A corrupt and suspicious facsimile of Codex Sinaiticus was published by Oxford University Press:
New Testament in 1911 and Old Testament from photographs taken by Kirsopp Lake
in 1922.
In 1933, Soviet Government, now Russia, sold the
Codex Sinaiticus for 100, 000 British sterling pounds to British Museum.
Some minor copies were retained at the
Public Library, called Saltykov- Shchredrin at Leningrad in 1957 and 1958.
Tischendorf deceived the world with this
corrupt manuscript.
KING JAMES
VERSION, 1611, IS THE ONLY ACCURATE, PROPERLY TRANSLATED, WORD OF GOD. The rest, modern versions are
corrupt, and are human inventions for making money.
Agur, the son of Jakeh, wrote in Proverbs 30:5-6, that: “Every word of God
is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words,
lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar.”
Agur was very straight and perfectly
clear on his statement. “Every word of God is pure,”
that is everything spoken by God is holy
and truth. It is his word that is truth. It is his truth that can bring us to
his holiness. Jesus Christ, the only
Begotten Son of God said: “…Ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.”- John 8:32. In other words: “If you know a
lie, then the lie will keep you into bondage of darkness.” The lie will keep you in the squabbles between Catholic and
Protestants. Truth brings salvation, lie brings damnation. Truth is life. Lie
is death. What is this truth? What is this word? Jesus Christ is the truth. He said in John 14:6, that: “I am the way, truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.” Again Jesus Christ is the word as attested in John1:14, and 1 John1:1-3 respectively.
If Jesus Christ is truth, then Satan is the lie. If Jesus Christ is the word,
then Satan is speculation, corruption brought by the new versions. If Christ is
the way, then Satan is the lost- out of the way. If Jesus Christ is life, then
Satan is death.
Another deep understanding is that: “Every word of God is pure” in the
sense that every word of
God has been smelted and refined. Adam and Eve, the first parents, brought sin, corruption to God’s word. God
smelted his word by bringing in Jesus
Christ, his Son to die for the
sins of believing intercourse. God refined his word by
forgiving those who believed on his Son. God’s word has been
tested and proven in the furnace of man’s
experience.
The word of God had no mixture of
falsehood and corruption in it. If one did not
believe the King James Version bible in his/her
old days, then the person should not deceive him or herself that he or she can
believe the modern versions. The bible versions or words
of men can be heard, read and defended with jealousy and with allowance, but
there is no ground to say the least, to suspect any deficiency in the word of
God. Paul, the apostle wrote: “God forbid: yea,
let God be true, but every man a liar…”- Romans 3:4. God’s word cannot be improved, revised neither be updated using
corrupt manuscripts. It is folly to seek to do so. Anyone engaged in such practice is inviting
God’s wrath upon him/herself. If you don’t understand God’s word seek help from
him- James 1:5. LET KING JAMES VERSION STANDS FOR IT IS IRREPLACEABLE.
Pure, in other words rendered Holy is the name of God. The
Hebrews called the name ‘Elo`a,’ commonly used in the book of Job.
David, the son of Jesse, wrote in Psalms 12:6, that: “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace
of earth, purified seven times.” He again
wrote in Psalms 119:140, that: “Thy word is very pure:
therefore thy servant loveth it.” It is
completely sure, and hence we must believe the word, hope fully for eternity,
and venture our souls upon it. God in his word, not the versions changing with
the world, not the versions changing with technology…. “Love not the
world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the
love of the Father is not in him”- 1 John 2:15. God in
his promise, is a shield, a sure protection, to all those that put themselves
under his powerful protection, and put their trust on him. Paul, the apostle
quoted Habakkuk 2:4, in Romans 1:17, that: “….The just shall
live by faith”, not by simple modern versions of the
bible. God’s word cannot change. It is forever- Matthew 5:18; 24:35. James from his epistle, wrote that: “…. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the
wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of
the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways”- James 1:6-8. People can appear under cover of religion. They may believe this
today, and believe that tomorrow. They are lifted by short lived faith, but
completely drown into distrust. That man will not receive anything from God.
His prayers will not be answered. The word of God is not a matter of comparing
versions. The word of God, as applied by faith, not double minds, will make us
excel from the dangers of corruption brought by modern versions. The record in Psalms 46:1-3, states,
that: “God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble. Therefore
will not we fear, though the earth be moved, and though the mountains be
carried into the midst of the sea: Though the waters thereof roar and be
troubled, though the mountains shake, with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
By saying that “Add thou not unto his words…” Agur, the son of Jakeh, meant
that the word of God which is pure and perfect forbids the advancing of
anything, not only in contradiction to the word of God, but in competition with
it. People add with the plausible pretense of explaining it. They pretend the
addition to be having equal authority to God’s word. Adding to God’s word not
only brings reproach to them as insufficient, but also open doors of all manner
of errors and corruption, for that one absurdity being granted, that the word
of any man- Catholic, or company of men- deceived Protestants, is to be
received with the same or equal faith and veneration as the word of God, a
thousand follow. This happened exactly with the modern versions. We must be
content with the bible God had given us- that is KING JAMES VERSION. We don’t
need to change the bible to conform to the world. God has his word whether the
world like it or not. It is only we that need change. We should not covet to be
wise above what was written, because in doing so: First, God will reprove thee. He will resent it as a heinous fault. He will
bring that person to nothing. He will reckon with that person as a traitor
against his crown and dignity, and lay him under the heavy doom of those that
add, or removed his word, hence Deuteronomy 4:2, which stated, that: “You shall not add
unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it,
that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Again Deuteronomy 12:32 states, that: “What thing soever
I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from
it.” In Isaiah 34:16, it is
directed that: “Seek ye out of the books
of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail….” Secondly
translators would run into endless mistakes: Thou shall be found a liar, a corrupter
of the word of truth, a broacher of heresies, and guilty of the worst
forgeries, counterfeiting the Great Truth, seal of heaven, and pretending a
divine mission and inspiration, when it is all tricks, a cheat, darkened human
minds. The world can be deceived, but God’s word stands. God cannot be mocked- Galatians 6:7.
2 Corinthians 4:1-4 states, that: “Therefore seeing we have this
ministry, as we have received mercy, we
faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness,
nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our
Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
LET US TAKE THE ADVICE SERIOUSLY:
First advice
from Noah: Noah in his blessing, and cursing said: “Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan
shall be his servant”- Gen.9:26-27.
Canaan was the son of Ham. In the earliest time Ham was used to identify Egypt- Psalms 78:51, and in the course of time, Africa, beginning from Egypt, was
known as “the Land of Ham”- Psalms 105:23,27; 106:22.
We must get it perfectly clear that Noah
said: “Blessed be the LORD God of Shem”, and NOT “Blessed be the
LORD God of Ham”.
Never should it be made to appear so,
hence no true/ original manuscript could be found neither derived from “The Land of Ham” which is Egypt or Africa generally.
“Blessed be the
LORD God of Shem”, is a clear
indication that true worship originated from Hebrews, from Israel proper. This
true worship also revealed true or original manuscripts. Original manuscripts
were from Hebrews. They are original because they received them directly from
God. “And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend….”- Exodus 33:11.
Japheth, shall dwell in the tent of Shem,
is a clear indication, that, the entire white race- the Indo-European group of
nations would derive their true worship as well as original manuscripts from
Israel, not Egypt. If Erasmus
Greek Testament, or Textus Receptus, were from Antioch, then why should not they study it, after all the
apostles were first called Christians in Antioch- Acts 11:26, instead of wasting time searching for corrupt Satanic
manuscripts from Egypt?
First true worship is with Israel, then
followed by Indo-Europeans, then the
Hamitic race, and not vice versa.
Second advice
from Moses:
The children of Israel, who tempted God,
with the things of Egypt, never made it through to Canaan- The Promised Land,
but perished in the wilderness- Exodus 17:2,7; Numbers 21:5,6; Deuteronomy 6:6; 1Corinthians 10:9.
Alternatively death, both physical and
spiritual, is calling mankind worldwide using the modern bible versions. It is
also unfortunate that the corrupt bible versions, developed from the corrupt
manuscripts discovered in Egypt will make the people involved perish and
subsequently got lost in hell. These versions cannot bring people to the
salvation brought by Jesus Christ because they are completely weak in the
Gospel presentation.
Third advice
from Paul the Apostle:
Paul, the
apostle spoke of “one covenant, from Mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which
is Agar” in Galatians 4:24, that is to say, that the
manuscripts from Mount Sinai, called Codex Sinaiticus, and other codices are
bringing, dragging many souls into the bitter slavery of darkness, to the lost.
They are handy works of Satan, on the children of disobedient purported to be
in Christianity.
Thank you for a well written article. Your commentary is profoundly challenging in today's culture of new teaching derivatives born by subtle deceptive changes seen in prolific revisions of the KJV Bible.
ReplyDeleteI have a sense of needing to continue reseaeching the subject due to several references in this article; one in particular is Gal 6:1-2, 4-6,10.
My Spirit causes me concern; ultimately, God's children must not lose any portion of God's Grace by not walking with Him as He teaches us His Word
Thank you brother. God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. The world is currently entertaining false gospel, watered down.
