Kurt Aland and his second wife, Barbara, buried the Majority Text. They have dubbed their highly polished version of Westcott-Hort - "The Standard Text." |
How
ironic that the modern scholars have tried to replace the reliable Majority New
Testament text with a bad one they conjured from Vaticanus – a dubious source
unimproved by the accolades of Romanizing Protestants and rationalists. The
modern scholars, publishing companies, and denominations have filled their
pockets by corrupting the Gospel and telling the people – “You are not smart
enough or educated enough to understand our great work of emancipation.” As the
text scholar - Kurt Aland - said, “The Majority Text is dead.” But Tyndale had
the exact opposite attitude toward the Bible –
“Which
thing only” he says, “moved me to trans late the New Testament. Because I had
perceived by experience, how that it was impossible to establish the lay people
in any truth, except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in the
mother tongue.”[1]
