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 23:15-37 – 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!

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 –

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 15th 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
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.
