Don't Confuse "the Word of God" with "the word of God" *

[brandplucked]

Oh,and by the way, dagg. Even your Vatican Versions have the word "new" in them in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the NEW testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

 

[daqq]

Hi dagg. Since you have no inerrant Bible to believe in you will be asking yourself this type of question until the Lord comes back or you die, which ever comes first.

Your Vatican Versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB, Jehovah Witness NWT, and the modern Catholic versions like the St. Joseph NAB and the New Jerusalem all omit that word "new".

But your fake Vatican Versions also omit ALL of Matthew 17:21, Matthew 18:11 and the whole of Matthew 23:14 along with hundreds of other words just in the gospel of Matthew.

Sinaiticus and Vaticanus omit the word "new" here in Matthew 26:28.

But it is found in the Majority of all Greek manuscripts including A, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, W, the Old Latin, the Syriac, the Coptic, Boharic, Armenian, Ethiopian, Georgian and Slavonic ancient versions as well as the Diatessaron 185 A.D.

It is so quoted by many early church writers like Irenaeus, Origen, Cyprian, Basil, Chrysostom, Theophilius of Alexandria, Jerome, Augustine and Theodoret.

It is in the text of the Reformation bibles in all languages including the Spanish Cipriano de Valera 1602, Luther's German bible 1545, German Schlachter Bible 2000, the French Martin 1744, Ostervald 1996, French Louis Second 2007, Portuguese Almeida 1671 and the Almeida Corrigida 2009, Italian Diodati 1649, Nuova Diodati 1991, Italian Riveduta 2006.

It was in the earlier Catholic Douay-Rheims 1582 and Douay 1950. It wasn't till the Vatican made a formal agreement with the UBS/Nestle-Aland people that the modern Catholic versions began to omit the word "new"


"the NEW testament" is the reading of Wycliffe, Tyndale, the Great Bible, Matthew's Bible, the Bishops' Bible,the Geneva Bible, the NKJV and LOTS of other English bibles.

It is your Vatican versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB that omit this word as well as the entire verses of Matthew 17:21; 18:11 and 23:14.

You can play this "scholars game" forever and remain an unbeliever in the existence of an inerrant Bible all your life if you want to and you will always remain the bible agnostic that your are today.

Or God can have mercy on you and reveal to you that the KJB is His perfect Bible.

Oh,and by the way, dagg. Even your Vatican Versions have the word "new" in them in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the NEW testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians 11:24-25 quotes from Luke 22:19-20 which does indeed have the word kainos-new in all the important manuscripts and codices. However now you have a gaping hole of a problem because there is more than one cup at the Passover Seder and, in the Luke passage, one may clearly discern at least TWO of the Passover Seder cups. You now therefore have TWO "New Covenants" in the KJV because in the Textus Receptus, (AV-KJV) someone apparently decided to conflate Matthew and Mark with the Luke passage by inserting kainos where it does not belong so as to make the passages agree when they are NOT actually speaking of the same cup. The first cup is received with the bread and is called the Covenant FOR MANY, (Daniel 9:27) and confirms the Noachic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic, but the cup of the kainos-New Covenant only comes AFTER the principle meal and is ONLY for the disciples because they had been with the Master throughout his ministry. Yeshua says likewise that he had shown his disciples the name of the Father and that they had kept the word of the Father, (John 17:6) and therefore he says to them alone concerning the New Covenant in the Luke passage below: This cup is the New Covenant in my blood, which is shed FOR YOU.

Luke 22:15-20 KJV
15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16. For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

TWO DIFFERENT CUPS ~ TWO DIFFERENT COVENANTS

In one fell swoop your entire paradigm has crashed and burned though you will surely deny it.

So much for the "KJV ONLY" heresy . . . :crackup:

Oatmeal, I did not say you are not a Christian. I said you do not believe in an inerrant Bible. Now, if you think I am wrong about this (and I could be), then tell us exactly which one it is.

And if you say it is the KJB, then are versions like the ESV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, NET, etc. also the inerrant words of God? Yes or No?

Please answer the question. Most bible agnostics like Bob Enyart and Will Duffy just dodge the question, or give us some big song and dance routine without ever answering the question.

God bless.

Time to clarify some definitions.

Evidently, you recognize that all Bibles have some errors in it including the King James Version

However, God's words as originally given to holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit is without error. II Peter 1:21

Since most people use the word "Bible" not "God's word" to speak of scripture, I saw no reason to believe you were aware of that difference either.

If I read you correctly, you see that difference.

Therefore you know that the KJV has its own peculiar errors as well, for it is not the original word of God given to the holy men of God, but rather a version of a translation from copies of copies.

Hi Oatmeal. Sir, you are wrong about several things here. I do NOT believe there are ANY errors in the King James Bible. How you could possibly read anything I have said to think otherwise show that you have a real problem understanding the English language.

Secondly, you could not show me a copy of the Santa Claus "bible" of your "original word of God" if your life depended on it, and you know you can't. Your only "final authority" is your own opinion (like so many others today) and you opinions differ from every body else's.

My final authority is the God given Book called The King James Bible. It is always right. Get used to it.

God bless.

I think you were mistaken before you began to clarify. The copies of copies that you refer to had errors and the whole purpose of the KJV was to eliminate the errors, translate and organize ALL KNOWN manuscripts, writings, books etc. etc. This was a great undertaking and there are no errors of doctrine or scripture in the KJV; you can count on it !

You remind me of a story of a KJV only person, she said if the KJV was good enough for the apostle Paul, it was good enough for her.

Well, there are errors in the KJV.

One is the addition of words in I John 5:7-8 KJV

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

The ASV has it right.

And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

Another is in I Timothy 3:16

The word God was forged into the Stephen's Greek from the word ho, which means which, "God was manifested in the flesh" should read, "which was manifested in the flesh" referring to the mystery.

I Corinthians 12:1 has another KJV error, this time in the italicized word, "gifts", there is no corresponding word in the Greek, pneumatikos should be translated, things pertaining to the spirit or things proceeding from the spirit.

The list is long. Hence the need to rightly divide the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15

The OP and yourself were just shown a gaping chasm in the KJB and neither of you even chose to respond to what was posted. The jaws of hell have opened up and will swallow you into the earth if you continue refusing to hear the truth. Here it is again:

Matthew 26:28 KJV
28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Matthew 26:28 ASV
28. for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

Mark 14:24 KJV
24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Mark 14:24 ASV
24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

Luke 22:17-20 KJV
17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Luke 22:17-20 ASV
17. And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18. for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19. And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20. And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.

There is only one "New Covenant" and it is only confirmed in Luke 22:20. If you accept the KJB version of Matthew 26:28 and Mark 14:24 then you end up with TWO New Covenants because there are TWO separate cups. And as previously stated the Matthew and Mark passages are the confirmation of the covenant from Daniel 9:27 which clearly states "with many".

Daniel 9:27 KJV
27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Luke makes it perfectly clear that this is exactly what Yeshua was sent to do, that is, to PERFORM the mercy promised to our fathers, to REMEMBER the holy covenant: the OATH which the Most High had sworn to father Abraham:

Luke 1:67-73 KJV
67. And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71. That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73. The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

And now because the Textus Receptus inserts kainos-new into the text of Matthew 26:28 and Mark 14:24 the truth is hidden from the eyes of many. In fact there is an entire sect of Christianity who call themselves literalist futurists who say that the covenant of Daniel 9:27 is a covenant or treaty with the antichrist when in fact Yeshua confirms this covenant "with many" at the Last Supper Passover Seder in the Matthew and Mark accounts. Do you not think that calling this covenant "a covenant with the antichrist" is a big deal in the eyes of God? Yes, the jaws of hell are opened up. :crackup:

1 John 5:7 "the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one"

No Syriac manuscript of any family — Peshito, Philoxenian, or Harklean — has the three witnesses; and their presence in the printed Syriac Gospels is due to translation from the Vulgate.

So too, the Coptic manuscripts — both Sahidic and Bohairic — have no trace of the disputed part, nor have the Ethiopic manuscripts which represent Greek influence through the medium of Coptic.

The Armenian manuscripts, which favour the reading of the Vulgate, are admitted to represent a Latin influence which dates from the twelfth century; early Armenian manuscripts are against the Latin reading.

Of the Itala or Old Latin manuscripts, only two have our present reading of the three witnesses: Codex Monacensis of the sixth or seventh century; and the Speculum, an eighth or ninth century manuscript which gives many quotations from the New Testament.

Even the Vulgate, in the majority of its earliest manuscripts, is without the passage in question. Witnesses to the canonicity are: the Bible of Theodulph (eighth century) in the National Library of Paris; Codex Cavensis (ninth century), the best representative of the Spanish type of text: Toletanus (tenth century); and the majority of Vulgate manuscripts after the twelfth century.

There was some dispute as to the canonicity of the three witnesses as early as the sixth century: for the preface to the Catholic Epistles in Codex Fuldensis (A.D. 541-546) complains about the omission of this passage from some of the Latin versions.

Jamie. I know all about your textual evidence and why you bible agnostics who do not believe that ANY Bible in any language is now or ever was the inerrant words of God. I am not a newbie to this issue.

Your side ignores all the early witnesses to this verse, some of which are older than anything we have in "the" Greek.

The simple fact remains, you still have NO inerrant Bible to believe in, and God, in His sovereignty, has seen fit to put this verse into a vast multitude of Bibles in ALL languages of the earth, both old and new.

Fight against it all you will, it is still inspired Scripture and the strongest verse in the Bible about the blessed Trinity.


English Bibles that contain all these words in 1 John 5:7-8 are the first complete English Bible ever made by John Wycliffe in 1380.

The Catholic Connection

The entire reading was included in the earlier Catholic bibles like the 1582 Douay-Rheims and as late as the Douay version of 1950, but removed from later Catholic versions (St. Joseph NAB 1970, New Jerusalem bible 1985), but now once again the 2009 The Sacred Bible Public Domain Version has gone back to include it!

Now, there's a thoroughly reliable source of information, to be sure.

Seeing how the "authoritative and never changing" Catholic church has put out at least 8 different English bible versions that I know of and 1 John 5:7 "in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" is found in the Douay-Rheims 1582, The Challoner-Rheims Version 1941 the 1950 Douay, the 2009 Catholic Public Domain Version and the 2012 Revised Douay-Rheims ALL contain the verse as it stands in the KJB and the Reformation bibles, while the 1970 St. Joseph New American Bible and the New Jerusalem bible 1985 omit it.

The Jesuit counter Reformation is not interested in the truth of the Bible as its final authority. Their stated intent is to undermine faith in what they refer to as The Paper Pope of Protestantism - the Bible itself, and they have done a fine job of it with all you bible agnostics who are now using the new Vatican supervised versions like your NIV, ESV, NASB.



I have a copy of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th edition right here in front of me. It is the same Greek text as the UBS (United Bible Society) 4th edition. These are the Greek readings and texts that are followed by such modern versions as the ESV, NIV, NASB, Holman Standard AND the new Catholic versions like the St. Joseph New American Bible 1970 and the New Jerusalem bible 1985 AND the Jehovah Witness New World Translation.

If you have a copy of the Nestle-Aland 27th edition, open the book and read what they tell us in their own words on page 45 of the Introduction. Here these critical Greek text editors tell us about how the Greek New Testament (GNT, now known as the UBS) and the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece grew together and shared the same basic text.In the last paragraph on page 45 we read these words:

"The text shared by these two editions was adopted internationally by Bible Societies, and FOLLOWING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VATICAN AND THE UNITED BIBLE SOCIETIES IT HAS SERVED AS THE BASIS FOR NEW TRANSLATIONS AND FOR REVISIONS MADE UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION. THIS MARKS A SIGNIFICANT STEP WITH REGARD TO INTERCONFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. It should naturally be understood that this text is a working text: it is not to be considered as definitive, but as a stimulus to further efforts toward defining and verifying the text of the New Testament."

There it is folks, in their own words. They openly admit that this text is the result of an agreement between the Vatican and the UBS and that the text itself is not "definitive" - it can change, as it already has and will do so in the future, and is not the infallible words of God but merely "a stimulus to further efforts".

...intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. (Acts 12:4 KJV)​

Is Easter a correct translation of pascha?

Oatmeal. You are greatly misinformed and you STILL have no inerrant Bible to believe in. And now you are using the Vatican Versions.

I asked for your best shot. Not a laundry list I have seen many times before put up by bible agnostics like yourself.

So I will just address the two "biggies" you posted. I said "provable" errors. You have proven nothing. You just gave us your personal, bible rummaging opinion.

1 John 5:7

1 John 5:7 "the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one"

1 Timothy 3:16 “GOD was manifest in the flesh” or the Vatican Versions' "He"?

Since the KJV contains those errors, the KJV is not inerrant, however, the original words of God given to holy men, II Peter 1:21 is inerrant and perfect.

The originals, of which none exist as far as anyone knows, was inspired by God, the copies of copies we have do have mistakes in them as I have shown.

The KJV, though very useful, is not inerrant

Easter is Correct in Acts 2:4

...intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. (Acts 12:4 KJV)​

Is Easter a correct translation of pascha?

Hi Jamie.Yes, the Greek word paska means Easter just as much as it means Passover.

Here is my article on this. Check out the links too.

The OP and yourself were just shown a gaping chasm in the KJB and neither of you even chose to respond to what was posted. The jaws of hell have opened up and will swallow you into the earth if you continue refusing to hear the truth. Here it is again:

Matthew 26:28 KJV
28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Matthew 26:28 ASV
28. for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

Mark 14:24 KJV
24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Mark 14:24 ASV
24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

Actually I answered that, but I'm not looking it up for you right now. I said something along the lines of - Whether its testament or covenant and whether the word new is there or not - the news is new. A new testament and covenant. You see chasms where the KJB explains perfectly.

PS - I also thing shed is a better word than poured
