| The Beck Bible, sold by Christian News, is brought to you by Westcott and Hort, who conspired to replace the Majority Text with one of their own. CPH supported the Voelz Gospel of Mark monstrosity without a peep from Phil Hale. CPH supports Codex Vaticanus? |

| Alec Satin, the Lutheran Librarian, has published a free online copy The King James Version, inspired by the German and Greek student below. The book is intended to serve as a textbook on the topic of the New Testament text and the value of the King James Version and Majority Text. |

I looked up the ending of Mark's Gospel to review the wording of Mark 16:9-20, the Resurrection of Christ removed by Count Tischendorf, Westcott-Hort, and all the liberal apostates. The source for this removal? - Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus. Sinaiticus was "discovered" by Tischendorf, though it had no previous history there. Vaticanus was promoted by Tischendorf, though it had no certain dates. The two bound volumes had no descendants, but we are expected to agree they are the "oldest and best" when they disagree with each other.
I was going to go through the Beck Bible, Otten's money machine, and look for the classic missing verses removed by the demonic labors of Tischendorf, Westcott, and Hort. But lo, I did not need my reference books. The famous omissions, like Acts 8:37, are clearly noted in the footnotes with the excuse that the "oldest and best" sources omitted them.
The omissions deal with the divinity of Christ and faith in Him - just a co-inky-dink.
Heretics erase rather than add, because it is almost impossible to match the original style with new words. Besides, what the heretics hated most of all was - and is - the divinity of Christ and faith in Him.
The Majority Text is almost 100% in agreement, five thousand examples. Like all written works, there are examples of sleepiness, sloppiness, and our inherent ability to replace the right word with a wrong word. Long ago, Christina was riding with relatives who were arguing whether they were 19 or 90 kilometers away from home. Just like the English version, the words are difficult to get across while yelling.
With thousands of examples, it is easy to determine what the original says. Westcott and Hort were anti-Christian looney-tunes, so they spent 10 years secretly promoting their Greek New Testament, which even omits the Son of God from Mark 1:1. The KJV Revision dopes did not go with that, but they offered their slavish devotion to the rest of the errors introduced by the pair.
The KJV Revision of 1881 was so bad that the men in charge could not figure a way to fix it.
I ordered piles of books about this era and text criticism of the New Testament. Here is the laugh - after all is said, the current Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament is the Westcott-Hort GNT, only 150 years later.
Kurt Aland liked to say that his version was the Standard Text of the GNT. In fact, it is a snip, clip, and glue job from here, there, everywhere, a slight revision of the secretive and blasphemous Westcott-Hort. I have and use
- the Majority (Stephanus) Greek New Testament,
- the Nestle-Aland, and
- the Westcott-Hort.
So Otten liked to portray himself as a persecuted conservative, trying to revive the liberal LCMS. But he was always selling and promoting the Beck Bible, which was no better than the RSV from the National Council of (Marxist) Churches.
Pastor Phil Hale - lacking academic credentials - is promoting and selling Beck Bibles. Look at the footnotes! - all the verses removed by the genius of Westcott-Hort and other apostates.
Otten liked to "sell to both sides of the issue" - his words. That is why he supported the Medieval Roman Catholicism of one group, the Southern Babtists, and anyone who graduated from a Missouri Seminary. The Kokomo Statements filled many issues of Christian News, without enlightening anyone.
Outraged blog reader: "But didn't Otten condemn the Church Growth Movement via Marquart's essay? and your Liberalism: Its Cause and Cure?" Yes, and he sold Valleskey's odious Fuller-saturated We Believe, Therefore We Speak.
Valleskey is a typical book-burner. He denies going to Fuller Seminary, but also admits going there. He cannot abide anyone teaching Lutheran, Biblical doctrine, but there are few of those left in WELS. He and his buddies have won, and they have ruined what was left of a hard-drinking, womanizing, cross-dressing sect.
