Lineage of the
Modern Corrupt Versions

Compiled by Dr. Ken Matto

(THIS is this the foundation for the King James Bible and the others (new versions) …. one foundation is solid and the other sand ….What foundation is your faith build upon? Romans 10:17)

Just as the King James Bible has a rich lineage of un-corrupted transmission through the ages, the modern versions also have a lineage. Their lineage is one of corruption, deletion, omission, addition, rejection and confusion. Modern versions are the fruit of arrogant scholarship which includes homosexuals who worked on the NIV. God never calls unbelievers to preach and neither would He call a sodomite to translate His Word.

If your pastor rejects the pure lineage of the King James Bible and accepts the corrupt translations, then he is a proponent of modern scholarship which exalts the god of education above the God of the Bible. They are seriously deceived and are a danger to spiritual growth.

THE OLD TESTAMENT

Rudolph Kittel’s Biblical Hebraica**

Dead Sea Scrolls consulted

From the Translator’s Preface in the NIV:

“Sometimes a variant Hebrew reading in the margin of the Masoretic Text was followed instead of the text itself.”

“The translators also consulted the more important early versions-the Septuagint; Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion; the Vulgate; The Syriac Peshitta; the Targums; and for the Psalms the Juxta Hebraica of Jerome. Readings from these versions were occasionally followed where the Masoretic Text seemed doubtful and where accepted principles of textual criticism showed that one or more of these textual witnesses appeared to provide the correct reading.”

This is known as “eclectic” scholarship. In other words, if I don’t like what I read in the manuscripts, there is always another writing by an unbelieving, perverted scholar who will tell me what I want to hear.

**The modern versions use Rudolph Kittel’s Biblia Hebraica for the Old Testament. The King James uses the 1524-25 Bomberg edition of the Masoretic Text known as the Ben Chayyim text. There were two editions of Biblia Hebraica in 1906 and 1913. In the third edition, changes took place, 20,000 to be exact from the Ben Chayyim text, when the editors incorporated the readings of the Leningrad Codex (circa 1008 A.D. and believed to be written in Egypt) in his 1937 edition (completed by Albrecht Alt and Otto Esselte – Stuttgart, 1937), and it is also used in the 1977 edition of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Their text was the Ben Asher text which they exchanged from the Ben Chayyim text and it contained the readings of a few minor Hebrew manuscripts.

(1) Jay Green’s translation is listed here because he, like the modern scholars, disputes whether Acts 8:37 & 1 John 5:7 are really in the text. 1 John 5:7-8 has been found in the Old Latin Vulgate (not Jerome’s) and early church lectionaries. Acts 8:37 is found in the Old Latin Vulgate Version, a Middle Egyptian Version and a Syriac Version.

Are There Significant Differences in the Bible Versions? | The Audacity of Defending the New Versions |

“Modern scholarship” comes out of the jesuit-corrupted seminaries and is a belly laugh. Layers and layers of lies covering its dirty tracts are stack up to “confirm” the previous lies. Most modern so-called “scholars” use Satan’s “bibles” which is all we need to know! The corrupt defend corrupted “bibles.” Any man who can use those horrible excuses for a Bible is in darkness. What’s that say for the lightweights many call “pastors” today? You have to cast away the “Spirit of truth” and the common sense God gave you to be indoctrinated by the doctors of damnation and to buy into the new “bible” version lies (John 16:13-14). SMH

How to Spot a Fake Bible [podcast]

Please don’t balk till you read these 3 verses. This is indefensible to the sane mind! “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13) In 2016 the Berean Study Bible (BSB) was introduced. Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from. In the BSB, typically, we find: Matthew 17:21 was removed, Romans 8:1 was chopped in […]

YOU Call that a "bible"? Bible Versions Compared

Does your “bible” contain the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:21? Was Romans 8:1 chopped in half in your “bible”? Was the very blood of Jesus removed from Colossians 1:14? 4 Verse KJV Comparison                  Doesn’t the Most Severe Warning in the Bible Concern Tampering with God’s Words? “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away […]

Do God's People Need to Know the Original Languages to understand His Word? [podcast]

There are people going around saying we don’t have God’s Word today in our own language and therefore must learn Hebrew and Greek to truly understand it. Is this true? No. Saying we can’t understand the Word of God unless we know the original language is pure fiction. This is a classic deception, a maneuver to position oneself over others. The Nicolaitans come to mind (Nico-laitans = conquer the people via lies). 1. Greek, Aramaic, and/or Hebrew not needed to understand God’s Word in our own language KJB. Most of the very people who make this claim do not even […]
