Gen. 3:5
For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

we're pretty good at idolatry...goes back to the original (and ever since) sin. :)

No, they aren't based on those manuscripts.

Yes they are.


Also, I'd be curious why you believe in your studies of the Greek why the two are 'corrupt'?

Get yourself a copy of this book by Dean Burgon:


Causes of Corruption of the New Testament Text



causes of corruption.jpg



Also, both the Vaticanus and Siniaticus are corrupt because of where they come from. Both of these corrupt manuscripts can be traced back to Origen and his heresies (corrupt sources) as well as Justin Martyr's heresies, the Diatesseron (more corrupt sources).

Now just to give you an idea of how heretical Origen was in his beliefs, here are just a few of the heresies which he believed:


- he beleived in transubstantiation
- believed that the Scriptures were not literal. (Origen was the father of Alleogorical interpretation).
- believed in Purgatory
- believed that Jesus was not God, but that he was only a created being. (Gnosticism).
- believed that Genesis 1-3 was a myth and that Adam never existed.


And those are just a few of his heresies. But this heretic (Origen) and his heretical beliefs are basically the source and foundation of the Siniaticus and Vaticanus manuscripts which are around today.

After all, the greatest corruption of the Biblical manuscripts and texts took place in the Second Century in Alexandria. And again, the mutilating and corrupting which Origen the heretic did to the Antiochan Bible manuscripts in the third century in Alexandria Egypt, would be further carried over a century later into the Vaticanus and Siniaticus manuscripts. Which nearly all the modern bibles and translations are based upon.

True.





No what is shameless is a bunch of yellow chickened Christians who will not tolerate the truth, let alone stand up for the truth.

The modern versions are wicked. And I will forewarn any new brother and sister in Christ about them where I am able to.
No they aren't. You have accepted a view without an basis and try to push it onto others.

The purest words today which have been preserved up until now are found in the King James Holy Bible. They are found in the English language.
This claim is completely baseless and in fact absurd. The NT was written in Hebrew and Greek, so the original manuscripts are the most authentic, not some English translation. I can't believe anyone would even make this claim seriously.

1 John 4:3 (King James Bible)


And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.[

You see that phrase that is in Bold above?

That very phrase is removed from many of the modern versions in 1 John 4:3.


It was not removed, it was added by the KJV.



Go to any church building where they are using the NIV, and if you have any discernment, you should be able to tell the apostasy that has crept in there. Want to know why most modern churches have forsaken the Old Hymns and have replaced it with Satan's Hellish rock and roll music? Well simple. Because they forsook God's preserved word, the King James Bible long ago, and now they are reaping what they have sown. What goes on in these modern church buildings which play all the rock and roll music, they are simply a flesh pot. That's what modern Christians want. They want flesh, so they got flesh. That is what they are getting.
You have made for yourself idols of the KJV translators. The KJV is but one of many translations over the years.


One finds God's words in the King James Bible. And if they want to find His words in a foreign language, then it has to be a translation which is based on the correct Hebrew and Greek texts.


The Bible is both the word and words of God. Jesus said that Heaven and Earth would pass away, but that His words (Plural) would not pass away (See Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33).

Also in Psalm 12:6-7, God's promise is that He will keep and preserve His words (Plural).
When scripture speaks of scripture, it is God's word. When scripture speaks of promises, it is God's words. The bible is not the words of God because the bible makes it clear that it isn't. The bible is inspired, not a word for word dictation.

And it is an absolute perfect and inerrant translation.
You obviously do not know much about translation because there is no such thing as a perfect translation. Language does not work that way.

BTW- Which KJV version is the correct translation?

HOLD ON.

You just said that modern translations are based on these. All you are doing now is saying they are wrong.

You need to back up your claim.

The New Testament was written in Greek. There is no evidence of it being written in Hebrew.
Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew.

That was an editing mistake due to switching between the bible and the NT. The NT was likely written originally in Greek with a few exceptions such as Mark, although no copies exist of it today in the Hebrew/Aramaic form. The OT in Hebrew. What I meant in my final post was "The bible was written in Greek and Hebrew."

The NT was written in Greek. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew.

Also, WE DON'T HAVE the Original manuscripts.

But God has preserved His words, and they are in the King James Bible.

Prove it.

The King James Bible is the ultimate and supreme Translation. It has been the Absolute Standard for 403 years now.

Yes it is a perfect translation.

No one has ever found an actual error in the King James Bible.

I did back up my claim. Were you not reading my last posts?

Also, that book I recommended you to read even backs up my claim even further.

That's what I said.

I was referring to the manuscripts in the original language. You have this absurd belief, it seems, that a particular English translation is better than the original languages.

But God has preserved His words, and they are in the King James Bible.
The bible is not God's "words", they are God's inspired "word". There is no evidence for your claim and it's a man made tradition.

BTW- Which KJV is the right one? They changed the words of God so many times, as you say, that I am wondering which you think got it right.

Actually since you made the claim, it is up to you to prove it was removed. The reason it does not appear in other manuscripts is because of copyist errors from the later versions.

The King James Bible is the ultimate and supreme Translation. It has been the Absolute Standard for 403 years now.
I guessed I missed when God said this?

The Holy Bible is both the word and words of God.

Again Jesus said that His words (plural) would not pass away.
Yes, but that does not mean that God dictated the bible word for word. The bible is obviously not the words of God and makes it clear on many occasions. The bible is the INSPIRED word of God, not dictated word for word.

Is that why they changed it multiple times? I have no idea what you consider an 'error'. An error would be a bad translation. The KJV is a fine translation, but it is just a translation. It has a lot of copyists errors from its use of newer manuscripts. That is why it has things that translations that use older manuscripts do not.

Then show it. All you have done is made baseless claims.

http://www.deanburgonsociety.org/
There are societies for bigfoot and UFOs, that does not mean they are credible or taken seriously. The person you mention is not a credible or recognized source. You apparently believe that ignorance is believing whatever a person tells you, as long as it agrees with you, not whether it is credible or even factual.

Yes I did say that they are wrong because they are wrong.
That's called a baseless claim. They are not wrong because you said they are wrong, unless you are God.

I did back up my claim. Were you not reading my last posts?

Also, that book I recommended you to read even backs up my claim even further.
You never backed up your claims. You have essentially said the other translations are wrong because you say so.
