CORRUPT BIBLES - NYOBS 88.25

Corrupt Bibles

Torah – Tanakh – Septuagint – Vulgate – Targum – Codex - Hebrew – Greek – Aramaic

First Word

·         We wonder why we have so many translations of the Bible.  It seems to point back to the fact that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek; and Aramaic was what many of the Jews spoke.  So in the very beginning of Judaism, there were already many translations of the Hebrew Torah, three which Bible Scholars generally recognize; Hebrew, Koine Greek and Aramaic.  

·         There are debates over which language was the original language used in a particular passage and did the term get properly translated.  The Hebrew Bible called the Tanakh was mainly written in “classical” Hebrew which is an ARCHAIC form of the Hebrew language, with a couple of the prophets written in Aramaic. – The first translation was into Koine Greek and known as the Septuagint for the Greek speaking Jews. – The Latin translation was known as the Vulgate. – There were a number of “Text Plus Commentaries” written in Aramaic known as Targums.

·         At this writing Donald J. Trump is the President of the USA and there are folks that have a World View known as “NEVER TRUMPERS”.  Such is the case with the Bible there are those known as “KJV ONLY Advocates”, rejecting even the NKJV along with all the others, citing a number of heretical, corrupt manuscripts that were utilized in the new translations, linking them to heretical belief as in Arianism, Gnosticism, Liberalism and Roman Catholicism.  Since most of us don’t know a word in Latin, Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic, the trend is to hold on to the traditions of the good old days; the KJV Icon. – If the King James Version was good enough for Adam and Eve, Noah and Moses, then it’s good enough for me.

·         A Hebrew word may mean one specific thing, but have a number of different meanings in the Greek, and the Aramaic will also have a number of different meanings.  So we not only need to know what the word means in the language it was written in, but what the intended audience would have understood it to mean.

·         The first time I ever heard of corrupted Bibles was on a TV program called Shepherd’s Chapel with Pastor Arnold Murray talking about the Kenite Scribes. – Murray says the Kenites are the offspring of Cain; noting that Cain was the SON of Satan himself.  – Murray says since the time of the Hebrew Nation, the Kenite scribes have been specific and purposeful in the corruption and perversion of scripture. - NYOBS 90.02 SHEPHERD’S CHAPEL

·         The 1602 Bishop’s Bible was the Basis for the 1611 King James Bible that Murray uses exclusively; correcting the Kenite mistranslations.  The 1611 KJV contains an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the APOCRYPHA with the Book of Jasher being one of the better known. – BUT by 1769, almost all printings of the King James Bible OMITTED the Apocrypha.

·         Murray says only the 1611 KJV Bible should be used to teach the scriptures, that all the others have been corrupted by the evil Kenites Scribes. – He notes that the KJV Bible also has some translation errors so he has produced the “COMPANION BIBLE” with commentaries to explain how it all should have all been translated.

·         What I have found has SHOOK the very foundations of my BS; my Belief System.

Fake Scribes – The Kenites

·         Cain found a wife in the land of Nod EAST of Eden. – Strong’s Concordance says “East” means 1) antiquity; 2) that which was before, 3) ancient time, 4) afore time, 5) from of old, 6) earlier time.

·         Cain’s offspring’s were called “Kenites”; Strong’s concordances says Kenite means 1) the name of the first child, 2) a place in Palestine and 3) an “Oriental” tribe. (EAST)

·         Murray says the Kenites infiltrated the Scribes and corrupted the Torah and they are still doing this today with twisted changes in all the other translations of the Book except the 1611 KJV Bible.  He says Jesus confirmed this when He said the Pharisee Jews are the Kenites, the children of the Devil.  

·         In Ancient Israel being a Scribe was a BIG DEAL. - Scribes not only created copies of the Torah and other documents, but were learned distinguished professionals like ministers, journalists, judges, lawyers, and financiers.

·         There were strict standards for Scribes to copy the Torah.  1) Only clean animal skins were to be used to write and wrap the manuscripts.  2) Columns must have between 48 and 60 lines.  3) Special black ink recipe must be used.  4) Each word must be spoke aloud while writing it.  5) Before writing the name of God YHVH they must wipe the pen and wash their entire bodies each time.  6) The writing must be reviewed in 30 days, if more than 3 pages are corrected, the document must be discarded.  7) No two letters should touch each other; the middle paragraphs must match those of the original document otherwise it became invalid.  8) The document must be stored in a sacred place.  9) Any document that contained God’s word could NOT be destroyed; it must be stored or buried.  (Wikipedia)

·         Murray says it was the Kenite Jews that killed Jesus and is corrupting the text.  Israel’s TEN tribes had been scattered, so it would be the remaining tribes of Judah and Benjamin that Murray is making reference. – DON’T MISS THIS, Murray is teaching that the HATED Kenites are the JEWS of today.

·          FAKE Kenite Jews are still around today according to Murray, claiming that they are God’s chosen people, but openly rejecting Jesus as the Christ, the Savior and Messiah. – He goes on to say that in the parable of the TARES and WHEAT in Matthew 13:24 that at Christ’s return, these unbelieving TARES, the Kenite JEWS of JUDAH will be thrown into the furnace and burned.

·          Note; The Book says ANYONE who rejects Jesus as the Messiah will be cast into the fire.

Genesis 4:17 Cain took a wife from the Pre-Adamic nations
¹⁷ CAIN had sexual relations with his WIFE, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain founded a city, which he named Enoch, after his son. (Not the same Enoch of the Godly line)  (NLT)

1 Chronicles 2:55 – Kenites infiltrated the scribes duties
⁵⁵ and the families of SCRIBES living at Jabez—the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. All these were KENITES who descended from Kamath, the father of the family of Recab. (NLT)

Matthew 23:13 – FAKE Scribes have shut up heaven
¹³ But woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. (ESV)

Matthew 23:14 – FAKE Scribes are taking advantage of widows
¹⁴ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. (NKJV)

Matthew 23:15-37 – FAKE Scribes make you a child of Hell
¹⁵ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
¹⁷ You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?
¹⁸ And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’
¹⁹ You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
²⁰ whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
²¹ And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.
²² And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
²³ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
²⁴ You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!
²⁵ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
²⁶ You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
²⁷ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness.
²⁸ So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
²⁹ Woe to you, SCRIBES and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,
³⁰ saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
³¹ Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
³² Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
³³ You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
³⁴ Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town,
³⁵ so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
³⁶ Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!

(ESV)

Revelation 2:9 – Make Believers that just pretend to be Jews
⁹ I know about your suffering and your poverty—but you are rich! I know the blasphemy of those opposing you.

THEY SAY THEY ARE JEWS, BUT THEY ARE NOT, because their synagogue belongs to Satan.

(NLT)

Revelation 3:9 – Scribes and Pharisees not really Jews
⁹ Look, I will force those who belong to Satan’s synagogue—

THOSE LIARS WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS BUT ARE NOT—to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love. (NLT)

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 – Kenite Jews killed the Lord Jesus
¹⁴ And then, dear brothers and sisters, you suffered persecution from your own countrymen. In this way,

YOU IMITATED THE BELIEVERS in God’s churches

in Judea who, because of their belief in Christ Jesus,

suffered from their own people, THE JEWS.
¹⁵ For SOME OF THE JEWS KILLED THE PROPHETS, and

SOME EVEN KILLED THE LORD JESUS. Now they have persecuted us, too. They fail to please God and work against all humanity.  (NLT)

John 8:44 – You are a child of the Devil
⁴⁴ For YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is

no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character;

for he is a liar and the father of lies.

(NLT)

1 John 3:10 – The Believer is a Child of God
¹⁰ So now we can tell who are CHILDREN OF GOD and who are CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.

(NLT)

Matthew 13:30 – Kenite Jews will be burned at Christ return
³⁰  Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First GATHER TOGETHER THE TARES (Kenite Jews; JUDAH) AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM,

but GATHER THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN. (NKJV)

New Translations

·         I need to point out that for a new translation of the Bible to be accepted for copyright, it must have a certain percent of differences or substantial changes in order to meet the standard to obtain a “Derivative Copyright”.  Sometimes to meet this standard, a line of scripture is spoken of in THE OPPOSITE CONTEXT or is worded in the reverse to hopefully mean the same thing originally, and then many, many times words are just totally OMITTED. – DID YOU SEE IT; omitted words represent a substantial change for a Derivative Copyright.

·         It’s one thing to say that new translations are corrupt, but it’s quite another thing when you can actually point out the differences between the scriptures of the KJV and that of the other translations. – Are they corrupt or have older manuscripts been found that are thought to be more reliable like those of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Codex Sinaiticus?

·         I selected FIVE popular translations to compare to the King James Version of the Bible and was amazed at what I found or didn’t find in the other translations.  Some translations water down very strong specific words to become only generalized, while others just plain out OMIT words or even entire passages. – “On line” commentaries indicate that the new NIV has removed 64,575 words. – Is Murray right, that the Kenites corrupted the Greek translations upon which all the scholars translate?

·         I am going to cite just a few of the deviations from the KJV in the OT and because what I have found is just so OVERWHELMING and depressing, I will only look at the most glaring in the New Testament in the four Gospels. – HANG ON TO YOUR HAT –

·         Jeremiah 51:3 –    LET the archer bend his bow VS DON’T let the archer draw their bows

·         2 Samuel 21:19 -  Elhanan killed the BROTHER of Goliath VS Elhanan killed GOLIATH

·         Daniel 3:25 –         SON of God VS LIKE a god

·         Proverbs 18:24 –   Man HAS FRIENDS VS FRIENDS DESTROY each other

·         Mark 11:26 –         Forgive and be forgiven VS the entire verse is just OMITTED

·         John 1:38 –           Rabbi means MASTER VS Rabbi means TEACHER

·         Acts 8:37 –       I Believe Jesus is the Son of God VS entire verse is just OMITTED

·         Titus 3:10-11 –     A man is a HERETIC VS PEOPLE are causing divisions

·         HELL FIRE scriptures have been entirely removed in some translations and many other strong words have been watered down.

·         A MASTER is someone who you follow and devote your life, has been WATERED DOWN TO a just a TEACHER almost 50 times.

·         A HERETIC is the explicit renunciation of one’s religion, principles or cause and blasphemy concerning God or Sacred things, has been WATERED DOWN TO a PERSON that is divisive.

·         THE BLOOD is removed in the NASB translation; Ephesians 1:7; “In whom we have redemption through His BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins”.

The Take Away

·         The Bible is the bestselling book in the World of all time, and the more that scholars study and new manuscripts are discovered, THE MORE ENLIGHTENMENT that we have on what God wants to tell us.  So in an effort to get these NEW THOUGHTS  published, you must have a copyright for a new translation; but it must meet the standards set for SIGNIFICANT CHANGES for a new translation.  So you have to change a bunch of other stuff just to have “SIGNIFICANT CHANGES”. – Did you know that leaving stuff out of a translation is a significant change? - SO THEY DO; I guess that is better than adding to God’s Word.

·         A Targum is the Torah’s first five books of the Bible written in the Aramaic language; a professional interpreter would give a reading in the common language of the people, and would then frequently EXPAND THE TRANSLATION with PARAPHRASES, EXPLANATIONS and EXAMPLES.   Initially these Targum’s were NOT recognized as authoritative by the religious leaders, but are now used to interpret and translate Biblical text.  

·         The Codex Vaticanus is regarded as the oldest extant manuscript of the Greek Bible, it has been housed in the Vatican Library since the 15^th century.  Many scholars consider the Codex Vaticanus to be the very best Greek text of the New Testament with the Codex Sinaiticus coming in second.

·         The Codex Sinaiticus was discovered by German Biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf in the mid 1800’s in a waste paper basket in Saint Catherine’s Monastery near Mount Sinai.  (I have doubts about this trash can story because any document that contained God’s word could NOT be destroyed; it must be stored or buried.)

·         This Codex has hundreds of reading not found in any other manuscript and is missing about 10 books of the Bible and has 14,800 erasures and corrections making it the most corrected manuscript in existence; yet it is widely used today to construct and translate text. – So right or wrong, scriptures that were changed or omitted in this Codex got changed and omitted in the new translations. – (It was not a conspiracy)

·         I must say that translators are seeking first to just translate the “Best Greek Texts” that are available as well as utilize the most common way of saying something without adding their BS Belief System to it.  There is the thought that the oldest manuscripts are the most reliable, so the tendency is to make the oldest the standard; but are the oldest manuscripts really the best?

·         Translators are guided by The Masorah which refers to the whole chain of Jewish tradition which is claimed to be unchanged and infallible.  The Masoretic Text defines the Jewish canon and its precise letter-text, with its vocalization and accentuation.

·         The Masorah is a collection of notes of the text of the Hebrew Scriptures as composed by the rabbis, these notes on “traditions” were placed in the margins to expand and clarify the thoughts of the writers. The notations tell why something was added, corrected or deleted.

·         While there are numerous omissions in the new translations, they are not omitted in the entirety of the Bible, so I certainly do not think there is a SUBVERSIVE CONSPIRACY to cut and paste the new translations to say something other than the original intent.  Some translations have RELOCATED certain verses to same-page footnotes in order to distinguish between older and newer versions of the Bible.

·         I have a Bible program that lets me look at a dozen or so translations at once and scroll through and see the verses that are missing so I can understand the “KJV ONLY Advocates” as I see all the changes found in other translations. – Personally I am hooked on the New Living Translation as it is SO easy to read and when I am puzzled at missing verses I just go back and find it in the KJV and see if it changes the precept already presented.

·         I must discount Murray’s theory of the Kenites changing our Bible, as none of them lived past the flood of Noah, unless of course, like Murray, you believe only a portion of the earth was flooded and that TWO Kenites (two of all flesh) sneaked onto the Ark.

·         I don’t doubt the sincerity of the scholars, as I see their dilemma presented by the copyright standards and they wind up saying; “how can we say stuff in a different way and not change the meaning, so we can get a copyright for our NEW FINDINGS?”

·         Jeremiah the prophet said; you have PERVERTED the Words of the Living God.

·         In actuality we spend more time taking our Bible to and from Church than we do reading it. - WHAT IS THE BEST BIBLE, it’s the one that you will read. – SELAH –

Jeremiah 23:36 – You have perverted God’s Word
³⁶ And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for

YE HAVE PERVERTED THE WORDS OF THE LIVING GOD, (KJV)  

In the multitude of counselors,

there is wisdom.

Proverbs 11:14

I am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical

information, and scripture verses.  Because of them I can stand on their shoulders

                         and see further that I otherwise ever could have.
