Description

There are five significant pivotal points pertaining to the origin of the corrupted Critical Texts that lie behind the modern versions of the Bible. It is important for believers to understand the origin and the influence of these original language texts on doctrine, practice, application, and translation of these false texts. At least one new English version of the Bible has appeared in the market place every six months for the last several decades that is translated from these texts. The five pivotal points associated with six men are:

Satan- The initiator of the devious disrespect for and changing of the Words of God began with that old serpent the Devil “in the beginning” (Gen. 3, and Mat. 4).

Origen- The first two centuries after the completion of the New Testament were the most destructive era for the Words of God. This was particularly true in Alexandria, Egypt where dozens of cults existed. Origen (182-251 AD) lived and taught in an Alexandrian theological school. He was supported by a wealthy man, Ambrosius, which allowed him to travel to many regions with an entourage of at least seven to fourteen scribes skilled in calligraphy, copying, and stenography. Wherever he went, he changed Biblical manuscripts to fit his doctrine and philosophy.

Jerome- Jerome’s publication of the Latin Vulgate in 405 AD constructed from Alexandrian text-type manuscripts was a crucial key in the continued assault on the Bible. Its influence because of the Roman Catholic Church would be immense.

Darwin- The publication of Charles Darwin’s book, The Origin of Species, in 1857 caused many ‘scholars’ to believe that the book of Genesis was a fable or myth, which destroyed confidence in the inspired Words of God.

Westcott and Hort- Westcott and Hort were two professors at Cambridge in the mid to late eighteen hundreds. One was a bishop in the Anglican Church. They constructed a ‘new’ false Greek text from their false tenets of textual criticism. The ‘new’ text would become the corrupted text behind modern versions of the Bible.
