Notice the Changing Quotations about the King James Version of the Bible

 


I change the blog template every so often, to make it easier for readers to find worship and book information, quotations, essays, and graphics. On the template, I am going through quotations about the KJV, from the list I posted here. Click on graphic on the side (same as above) to find the complete list.

The radicals have been trying to pry us away from the KJV for 70+ years - since the birth of the NCC's RSV - so we need to offer the reason for our trust in the Apostolic (Traditional) text. The Westcott-Hort-Nestle-Aland is an outrageous botch and bundle of deceptions. Yes, the Greek New Testament behind the Evil Four, plus Beck, never existed. It was cobbled together by the unchristian Westcott and Hort, with all kinds of wild guesses and fanciful reasons for cutting out NT passages about the divinity of Christ and faith in Him.

The main "sources" of the Evil Four Plus Beck are

  1. Codex Sinaiticus - which never existed until Count von Tischendorf found it.
  2. Codex Vaticanus - which is actually a Greek translation of the Latin, to calm nerves over which was better. But - since the Greek uses the much later Latin version, the pope's New Testament is a joke, not a source, as faithful as a Hollywood movie star.

Readers are welcome to remind me if they see one of those extremely rare typos that occasionally appear on the blog.
