Are All Bibles 99% the Same? Part Two.

 

“Non Essential or Unimportant Details”?

 

Most Evangelical Christians today do not believe that any Bible in any language IS the inerrant words of God.  In spite of the lame, signifying nothing, recent Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, they did get one thing right. It’s found in Article XII – “We deny that Biblical infallibility and inerrancy are limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes, exclusive of assertions in the fields of history and science.” Every true Bible believer should agree with this statement.  IF the Bible is not 100% historically true, then at what point does God start to tell us the truth?  If we cannot trust God’s Book when it comes to specific numbers and names when it comes to past history, then how can we be sure He got the other parts right?

 

 

It is devastating for the modern version promoter to see where the New Jerusalem Catholic bible lands on these verses. Also notice how the previous Catholic Douay-Rheims read. It was a whole lot closer to the historical truth than are these more modern translations. 

 

The following short list is just a sampling of the divergent and confusing readings found among the contradictory modern bible versions. There are numerous other examples, but these are just a few to make you aware of what is going on here with “the late$t in $cholar$hip Finding$”.

 

Among these “historic details” are whether Jeremiah 27:1 reads Jehoiakim (Hebrew texts, RV, ASV, NKJV, KJB, Douay-Rheims) or Zedekiah (RSV, NIV, NASB, ESV, NET, Holman, Catholic New Jerusalem 1985)

 

whether 2 Samuel 21:8 reads Michal (Hebrew texts, KJB, NKJV, RV, ASV, Douay-Rheims) or Merab (RSV, NIV, NASB, ESV, NET, Holman, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or 70 (NASB, NKJV, RV, ASV, RSV, NRSV, Holman, KJB) being sent out by the Lord Jesus in Luke 10:1 and 17 or 72 (NIV, ESV, NET, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or in Matthew 18:22 does the Lord say to forgive your brother not “until 7 times, but unto 70 times 7 times” (= 490 times – KJB, RV, ASV, NASB, NKJV, RSV, ESV, Douay-Rheims, ALL Greek texts) or 77 times (NRSV, NIV, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or the 7th day in Judges 14:15 (KJB, NKJV, RV, ASV, Douay-Rheims) or the 4th day (RSV, ESV, NASB, NIV, NET, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

Or Hannah taking young Samuel to the house of the LORD with THREE bullocks  in 1 Samuel 1:24 (KJB, Hebrew texts, RV, ASV, JPS 1917, NKJV, Youngs, NET, Douay-Rheims) or “A THREE YEAR OLD BULL: (LXX, Syriac RSV, ESV, NIV, NASB, Holman, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or God smiting 50,070 men in 1 Samuel 6:19 (KJB, RV, ASV, NASB, NET, Douay-Rheims) or 70 men slain (RSV, NIV, NRSV, ESV, Catholic New Jerusalem),  or “70 men- 50 chief men” (Young’s), or “70 MEN OUT OF 50,000 Holman Standard

 

or there being 30,000 chariots in 1 Samuel 13:5 (KJB, NKJV, RV, ASV, NASB, RSV, NRSV, ESV, Douay-Rheims) or only 3000 (NIV, NET,  Holman, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or 1 Samuel 13:1  Here we read: “Saul reigned ONE year; and when he had reigned TWO years over Israel, Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel.”  reading – ONE/TWO years (NKJV, KJB, Geneva, Judaica Press Tanach), or 40/32 (NASB 1972-77) or 30/42 (NASB 1995, NIV),  OR 30 years/ 40 years (NET) or _____years and.______and two years (RSV, NRSV, ESV, Catholic New Jerusalem), or even “32 years old…reigned for 22 years” in the 1989 Revised English Bible!

 

2 Samuel 15:7 “forty years” (KJB, Hebrew, Geneva, NKJV, NASB, RV, Douay-Rheims) OR “four years” (NIV, RSV, ESV, NET, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or whether both 2 Samuel 23:18 and 1 Chronicles 11:20 read “chief of the THREE” (KJB, Hebrew texts, RV, ASV, NKJV, NRSV, Holman, NIV, NET, Holman, NET, Douay-Rheims) or THIRTY from the Syriac (NASB, RSV, ESV, Catholic  New Jerusalem)

 

or 2 Samuel 24:13 reading SEVEN years (KJB, Hebrew, ASV, NASB, NKJV, NET, Douay-Rheims) or THREE years (LXX, NIV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, Holman, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or whether 1 Kings 4:26 reads 40,000 stalls of horses (Hebrew, KJB,  RV, ASV, NASB, ESV, NKJV, Douay-Rheims) or 4,000 stalls (NIV, NET, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or whether 1 Kings 5:11 reads 20 measures of pure oil (Hebrew texts, Geneva, KJB, ASV, RV, NASB, NRSV, Douay-Rheims) or 20,000 (RSV, NIV, ESV, NET, LXX and Syriac, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or in 2 Chronicles 31:16 we read “males from THREE years old” (Hebrew texts, KJB, Geneva Bible, Wycliffe, LXX, Syriac, RV, ASV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, NIV, NKJV, Holman, NET, Douay-Rheims) or “males from THIRTY years old” (NASB – ft. Hebrew “three”, Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or where 2 Chronicles 36:9 reads that Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign (Hebrew texts, KJB, NASB, NKJV, RV, ASV, KJB, RSV, NRSV, ESV 2001 edition, Douay-Rheims) or he was 18 years old (NIV, Holman, NET, ESV 2007 edition!!! and once again the Catholic New Jerusalem)

 

or that when God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead it is stated in Acts 13:33 “this day have I begotten thee” (KJB, NASB, NKJV, RV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, Douay-Rheims) or “today I have become your Father” (NIV, Holman, NET, Catholic New Jerusalem).

 
 
 

 

If you go back and read through this list of just some of the numerous very real differences that exist among these Bible of the Month Club versions, ask yourself which (if any) are the 100% historically true words of God.  IF “the Bible” is not 100% historically true in the events it narrates, then when does God start to tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

 

Christians do not believe in the Infallibility of Scripture.

 

Another quote showing the widespread unbelief in the infallibility of Scripture is this:  Pastor Michael Youseff’s Message on His “Leading The Way” program. The title of todays message was “The Bible, The World’s Most Relevant Book – Part 2. In his message he gave statistics of a poll that was conducted. Here is what the poll revealed: “85% of students at America’s largest Evangelical Seminary don’t believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. 74% of the Clergy in America no longer believe in the inerrancy of Scripture.”

 

 

How Different Are the New Testament Texts?

 

How many textual differences are there between such Bible translations as the King James Bible (and also the NKJV) and the other versions based primarily on the Westcott-Hort/ UBS Greek texts like the NASB, NIV, ESV, RSV?

 

There are many myths that are perpetuated today by the defenders of the modern versions, and one of those is that there is very little difference between the Received Text underlying the King James Bible and other ancient Protestant versions and the Westcott-Hort Greek text underlying most of the modern versions. Westcott and Hort themselves made this claim in their day, and it is widely repeated today. The fact is that the differences are large and serious and a choice must be made.

 

The following is from Dr. Donald Waite’s book Defending the King James Bible: “The Westcott and Hort Text changes the Textus Receptus in over 5,600 places.”

 

 

 

THE FOUR-FOLD SUPERIORITY OF THE KING JAMES VERSION  By Dr. D.A. Waite

http://av1611.com/kjbp/articles/waite-fourfold1.html

 

“Do you know how many changes they made? My own personal count, as of August 2, 1984, using Scrivener’s Greek New Testament referred to above, was 5,604 changes that Westcott and Hort made to the Textus Receptus in their own Greek New Testament text. Of these 5,604 alterations, I found 1,952 to be OMISSIONS (35%), 467 to be ADDITIONS (8%), and 3,185 to be CHANGES (57%). In these 5,604 places that were involved in these alterations, there were 4,366 more words included, making a total of 9,970 Greek words that were involved. This means that in a Greek Text of 647 pages (such as Scrivener’s text), this would average 15.4 words per page that were CHANGED from the Received Text. Pastor Jack Moorman counted 140,521 words in the Textus Receptus. These changes would amount to 7% of the words; and 45.9 pages of the Greek New Testament if placed together in one place.”

 

 

 

“Rev. Jack A. Moorman, in December 1988, wrote a book entitled: ‘Missing in Modern Bibles–Is The Full Story Being Told?’ It was published by The Bible For Today in April, 1989. Rev. Moorman counted every word of the Received Greek Text and also every word of the Nestle/Aland Greek Text and, on a chapter by chapter count, came up with the Nestle/Aland text being SHORTER than the Received Text by 2,886 words. This is 934 words more than were omitted from the Westcott and Hort text. (1,952 vs. 2,886). The omitting of 2,886 Greek words is the equivalent, in number of English words involved, of DROPPING OUT THE ENTIRE BOOKS OF 1 PETER AND 2 PETER! Pastor Moorman’s book is eighty large pages.” [B.F.T. #1726] (Bible for Today, 900 Park Ave., Collingswood, NJ 08108)

 

 

Just to prove that these textual changes are far more than just reversing the name of Jesus Christ  to Christ Jesus or adding the word “the” before a noun, here is a concrete list showing MANY BUT BY NO MEANS ALL of the textual differences between translations like the King James Bible along with the NKJV and versions like the NIV and NASB.  See if you think these textual differences are of no major significance and that they add up to 99.5% the same.

 

Whole or most of the verses omitted in the NIV as compared to the KJB and NKJV.  There are another 28 entire verses in addition to these 17 examples from the NIV omitted from the text of the Revised Standard Version. Among these 28 ADDITIONAL verses omitted from the text of the Revised Standard Version are Mark 16:9 through 20 (11 whole verses), John 8:1 through 11 (eleven more verses), Matthew 12:47 (ESV too), 21:44, 23:14, Luke 22:20; Luke 24:3, 6, 12 and 40! (That makes for a total of 45 entire verses missing from the N.T. text of the RSV!)

 

 

Matthew 12:47 – “Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.” (Omitted by RSV and ESV but found in NIV, NASB, NKJV)

 

Matthew 17:21- “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”

 

Matthew 18:11 – “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.”

 

Matthew 23:14-  “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.”

 

Mark  7:16 – “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”

 

Mark 9:44 – “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”

 

Mark 9:46 – “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”

 

Mark 11:26 –  “But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespases.”

 

Mark 15:28 – “And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.”

 

Luke  17:36 – “Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

 

Luke 23:17 – “For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.”

 

John  5:4 – “For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.”

 

Acts  8:37 – “And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

 

Acts 15:34 – “Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.”

 

Acts 24:6b to 8a – “and would have judged according to our law.  But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, Commanding his accusers to come unto thee”

 

Acts 28:29 -”And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.”

 

Romans – 16:24 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

 

I John 5:7-8 – omits the words: “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth”

11:44 scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites

18:24 that he was very sorrowful

  1. 25 Add: “before the whole age” or “before all ages”

 

  1. 25 ADD “through Jesus Christ our Lord”

 

 

 

The addition of the words “through Jesus Christ our Lord” to the Westcott-Hort, UBS, Catholic texts typifies what has been going on with our “Protestant, Evangelical” bibles.  These extra words are NOT found in the Majority of all Greek texts at all.  However they are in both Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, though even these two differ between themselves by several words in the whole verse.  The extra words were in the Catholic Rheims N.T. of 1582 and every other Catholic bible since including the Douay-Rheims, St. Joseph and the New Jerusalem bible 1985.

 

 

They were NOT included in the Reformation Bibles of Calvin’s Latin translation, Luther’s German Bible, the Italian Diodati, the French Martin, or the Spanish Reina Valera. Nor are they in Tyndale, Coverdale, Great Bible, Matthew’s Bible, Bishops’ Bible nor the Geneva Bible.  They still are not included in the New Diodati 1991, the French Ostervald 1996 nor the Spanish Reina Valera of 1995, nor are they found in the Modern Greek text used by the Greek Orthodox churches all over the world today.

 

It is the modern “Evangelical” versions that have become “Catholic”, not the other way around.  Remember –  In 1987 a formal agreement was made between the Roman Catholic Church and the United Bible Societies that the critical Greek New Testament will be used for all future translations, both Catholic and Protestant (Guidelines for International Cooperation in Translating the Bible, Rome, 1987, p. 5). Most of the translations produced by the United Bible Societies are “interconfessional,” meaning they have Roman Catholic participation and backing.

So, do  you STILL think that all bible versions are 99.5% the same?  Dr. Ken Matto has put together a study showing the words that are omitted in the modern day Vatican Versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB and the modern Catholic Bibles like the St. Joseph New American bible 1970 and the New Jerusalem bible of 1985.  Here are his initial comments and the links to his studies.

 

KJB Defenders, I have completed a major work on the deletions, additions, and changes in the modern versions.  This is based on the studies I have been presenting since July 2004.  These two pages contain the portion of the verse which has been tampered with.   It is for 448 verses which have been tampered with.  This is more than enough evidence to show a modern version proponent the truth.  Use it to God’s glory!

Manuscript Comparison Chart

 

(The above chart data, taken from A Survey of the Researches into the Western Text of the Gospel & Acts; part two 1949-1969, by A.F.K. Klijn.)

 

Papyrus (p45) contains excerpts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. It is presently in the Chester Beatty Museum, Dublin, Ireland.

 

Papyrus (p66) contains excerpts from the Gospel of John. It is presently located at Cologne/Geneve, in the Bibliotheque Bodmer.

 

Papyrus (p75) contains excerpts of Luke and John. It is presently located at Cologne/Geneve, in the Bibliotheque Bodmer.

 

 

 

Note, please, that these lately discovered manuscript fragments, agree more frequently with the Textus Receptus, than they do with Westcott and Hort’s favored Aleph and B. p45 is thought to date from the 3rd century. p66 is dated circa 200 A.D. And, p75 is dated from the beginning of the 3rd century.

 

Wilbur Pickering, ThM. PhD. writes in his book The Identity of the New Testament Text, 2014 –

 

“Bruce Metzger said, “It is understandable that in some cases different scholars will come to different evaluations of the significance of the evidence”. A cursory review of the writings of textual scholars suggests that Metzger’s “in some cases” is decidedly an understatement. In fact, even the same scholars will vacillate, as demonstrated by the “MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED CHANGES” introduced into the third edition of the Greek text produced by the United Bible Societies as compared with the second edition (the same committee of five editors prepared both).

 

 

  1. Aland, M. Black, C.M. Martini, B.M. Metzger, and A. Wikgren, eds., The Greek New Testament, third edition (New York: United Bible Societies, 1975), p. viii. Although this edition is dated 1975, Metzger’s Commentary upon it appeared in 1971. The second edition is dated 1968. IT THUS APPEARS THAT IN THE SPACE OF THREE YEARS (’68-’71), WITH NO SIGNIFICANT ACCRETION OF NEW EVIDENCE, THE SAME GROUP OF FIVE SCHOLARS CHANGED THEIR MIND IN OVER 500 PLACES. IT IS HARD TO RESIST THE SUSPICION THAT THEY WERE GUESSING.”

The changes between the 25th and 27th editions of the Nestle-Aland NTG are also interesting — 763 changes, of which 408 occur in the Gospels.
