Modern Textual Critics like James White try to explain away Psalms 12:6-7 by pointing to their corrupt so called earlier manuscripts that alters verse 7 in that it refers exclusively to the people being preserved for eternity and not the Lord’s pure words. While the context of this chapter is saying that God’s people will be preserved forever, the immediate context is verse 6 in regards to the Lord’s pure words. So God’s pure words and the people will be preserved for all eternity. God’s people can only be preserved if they have God’s words. If there are no words of God, they cannot have faith in God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). But it is highly suspicious that the recent Modern Translation Movement is favoring minority texts which adhere to an interpretation that undermines the established Bible for hundreds of years. In addition, other verses are changed in regards to uplifting God’s Word, as well. Psalms 138:2 says in the KJV “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” This truth is changed in Modern Translations. The Word is not magnified above His name in Modern Bibles. This again is highly suspicious that their disregard for the Word can be seen in the very manuscripts they favor. Here is another one that is altered. 2 Corinthians 2:17 says, “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” But in Modern bibles it hides the fact that God’s words were being corrupted during even Paul’s time. It says “peddle” instead of corrupt. There are more like this. This is a pattern we see. It makes sense because the text type of the so-called better manuscripts favored by Modern Textual Criticism is Alexandrian. Meaning, the manuscripts (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus for the NT Greek) they favor originate from Alexandria, Egypt.
Dark Origins of the Alexandria, Egypt manuscripts (for the NT Critical Text or the OT LXX):
- The concluding statement of the Creed of the Alexandrian Cult is that: THERE IS NO FINAL, ABSOLUTE, WRITTEN AUTHORITY OF GOD ANYWHERE ON THIS EARTH.
- The removal of 1 John 5:7 and the birthplace of Arianism (Anti-Trinitarianism). The three appearances of “Godhead” (which means Trinity) is changed to say something else. So direct references of the Trinity are attacked and removed.
- Egypt is predominantly mentioned as being negative in the Bible.
It’s odd that the Modern bibles are based upon the Alexandrian manuscripts, and yet those very scholars who created them also sing the same song (so to speak) as the Alexandrian cult does in the fact that they say the same thing in that there is no final, absolute, written authority of God.
