We know that the answer to this may not be clear nor obvious. Some people seem to wonder what our definition of a corrupt text is. We have attempted to define our  terms. When we are discussing the topic of the Bible and the manuscripts or parchments upon which it is based, the definitions of a corrupt text or manuscript are many.

 

  

A. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which either contradicts or reflects in substance different words than those found within the Biblical manuscripts. Biblical Manuscripts - Those which are the Traditional Historic Manuscripts That the Bible is Based on would include

a) Byzantine 

b) the [true] Majority Greek Text  (NOT the text of VonSoden / Hodges / Farstad)

c) the Textus Receptus or 

d) the 1525 Massoretic Hebrew Text of Ben Chayyim (Ben Hakkim) published by Daniel Bomberg in Venice.

 

B. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which is outside the Textual Stream and Genealogy of the Biblical manuscripts which are either a) Byzantine b) the Majority Greek Text c) the Textus Receptus or d) the 1525 Massoretic Hebrew Text of Ben Chayyim (Ben Hakkim) published by Daniel Bomberg in Venice.

 

C. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which does not conform to the 95% of the Biblical Manuscripts already discovered that conform to each other and to the underlying manuscripts upon which the Old and New Testament Textus Receptus are based.

 

D. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which is known to have come from the Corrupt Manuscripts used by either 1. Constantin von Tischendorf (in his 8^th Critical Edition) [i.e. Codex Sinaiticus] or 2. Westcott & Hort [See the Revision Revised by Dean Burgon for the Analysis of the four (4) main corrupted manuscripts which Westcott & Hort chose]

 

E. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which follows or depends upon:

 

1. The UBS (United Bible Societies/German Bible Society) Text of the

Greek New Testament/Nestle-Aland-Metzger-Martini version(s)

[which is based mostly upon a. Tischendorf and

b. Westcott & Hort]

 

 

2.The UBS (United Bible Societies/German Bible Society) Text of the

Hebrew Old Testament which - in turn - is based upon:

a. Any Old Testament text or translation from Either

Rudolph Kittel

{Occultist/Jew-hater/anti-semitic} or Gerhard Kittel {Occultist/Nazi War Criminal - Nuremberg}

 

b. Any Old Testament text or translation which uses or relies

on the corrupt translations or manuscripts written by

Ben Asher

 

This would include the UBS Hebrew Texts Biblia Hebraica and/or

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.

 

 

 

 

F. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which uses the work, development or work-product of some or all translators who are either anti-God, hostile to a literal interpretation of the New Testament, or willing practitioners of the Occult/occult activities.

 

G. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text where either some or all translators deny any of the central teachings of the Bible including  the doctrine of the Godhead (the Trinity), the atoning work of Jesus Christ, the death and physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, the 10 commandments (as found in Protestant Bibles), the need for man to be spiritually redeemed by God through Jesus Christ, the fact of manking being both condemned on the basis of personal sin, as well as condemned because of the fall of mankind (sin nature), or a belief in the literal creation story contained in Genesis.

 

H. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which uses either Codex Sinaiticus or Codex Vaticanus as the basis for any of its texts or portions of its textual collation.

 

I. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text where the Translation committee or its directors have altered the text of the English version in a manner which does not reflect the actual words and meanings of the text as they are found in the Hebrew and/or Greek Languages (such as Gender-Bender/Gender-Blender versions).

 

Examples of this would be the REB [Revised English Bible of 1989] and the TNIV [Today’s New International Version - which appears to be a rehash of its old incarnation, when it was called the New International Version Inclusive {the NIVi} ].

 

 

J. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text where the copyright of a translation is held by an agency or company that is either:

1. Not specifically Christian (as previously defined herein) or

2. Which is a secular company, or a corporation which is hostile to Christianity, or which holds assets which are hostile to Christianity or the message of the Bible.

 

An example of this is Zondervan Corporation. Although Zondervan was “Christian owned” at the time of the NIV, it is no longer owned by Christians. Thus the Copyright of the NIV  - and therefore its ability to alter the text of the NIV - is subject to the will of the copyright-holders.

 

It remains an open question whether the TNIV (a corrupt translation) would have gone forward if Zondervan were Christian-owned. But the NIV is today owned by Rupert Murdoch, who owns not only the Simpson TV Cartoon Show, but Zondervan through Harper Collins.

 

One of the Other Divisions of Harper Collins is a company called Samuel Weiser. The occult publishing company Samuel Weiser are the copyright holders (along with some of OTO)

of many of the writings of the Satanist and Demon-possessed Aleister Crowley.

 

Thus the NIV, Zondervan and the writings of Aleister Crowley, are all controlled by the same publishing group (Harper Collins), even if theoretically the board of the individual

corporations may be different.

 

Would Zondervan or Harper Collins seek to alter the contents of the NIV or other Christian Books or literature ?

 

One of the ways that Harper-Collins is planning to alter the contents of one of its major

Christian Authors is in the works of author C.S. Lewis.  Harper-Collins now controls the publishing rights to the works of C.S. Lewis.  One of the things which Zondervan has publically stated that they will do - is alter the works called the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA.

 

According to Harper-Collins, it is clear that they plan to [largely] DE-CHRISTIANIZE the works of C.S. Lewis. They plan to take all of the references to Christology or Christian Symbolism out of the Chronicles of Narnia. [Source: New York Times, June 3, 2001, Sunday, Late Edition article “Marketing 'Narnia' Without a Christian Lion” By D. Carvajal]

 

In so doing, they hope it will be the Financial cash cow that the Occult Harry Potter series has been, and continues to be (with the 5^th book due out soon). The point is NOT that Christians cannot spot or identify Christian Themes. They most likely will be able to do that. The problem is where the editing or changing of the books affects the ability of NON-Christians to understand the Christian Themes and their significance.

 

 Maybe one of the reasons for the editing of C.S. Lewis also has to do with the fact that the C.S. Lewis Company (which owns the Lewis Copyrights) is now being managed by Mr. Adley. Who is Mr. Adley you ask ? He is one of the former executives at Scholastic, the publishing company which publishes the story of an occult apprentice named Harry Potter.

Will the Narnia Chronicles retain enough of their character to help people move towards a study of the Bible and God in order to understand Narnia more clearly ? Or will the Narnia Movie Series simply be absorbed into a Disney Empire, and have the effect of promoting Magick or occultism that makes use of the Narnia series to blur the lines between the SOURCES of Spiritual Power ?

 

But whether the problem is that the C.S. Lewis company went off-track, or that it is Zondervan/Harper-Collins which failed to set the situation right, those who are worse off are the fans of C.S. Lewis, Christianity for losing one of its authors to secularization (which may turn to occultism if the versions of Lewis are re-worked into occult themes where Christ is erased), and the Children.  

We do NOT have confidence either in Zondervan nor Harper Collins when it comes to the NIV (or the TNIV). What is more, we have an express lack of confidence in them, their products “involving christianity”. In our opinion, what they have demonstrated with the example of C.S. Lewis is that they will sacrifice our children and what those children were learning through the Beautiful work of the Narnia Series, for the Corporate Profits of Harper Collins and its owner. We hope that we will be able to conclude upon release of the movies that there was no need for concern.

 

 

K. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text where the sponsoring organization or committee agrees to use translators which are unregenerate or unsaved individuals, who have been hired because of linguistic or academic training or credentials, suggesting that those skill can somehow substitute for spiritual discernment about which texts and which words should be used in translation. While the fact of someone accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior is not a guarantee of their translation ability nor linguistic skills, it remains a fact that without the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the translators redeemer, there is no hope of any accurate translation involving understandings of the move and promptings of God through the Holy Spirit about which texts to select.

 

While Christian translators may debate forever which Biblical Texts are inspired (and most of them in fact do not debate this), there is no question that the absence of the personal acceptance of the Christian message of Jesus Christ makes the entire work of translation pointless and personally absurd, unless it is for the reason of career advancement.

 

 

L. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text where the translation sponsor or any of its committee refuse to release the names of the Translators who have worked on the translation or portions of the translation in any capacity, in any language, at any time.

Some of the Publishing companies did not want to release the names of their translators because they knew that it would have a negative impact on the sales of their corrupt Bibles.

 

 

M. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which alters or removes any of the 66 traditional books of the Bible, or which removes the last book of the Bible known as the Revelation or Apocalypse of John, and substitutes or adds any other non-canonical book such as the Shepherd of Hermas.

 

N. A corrupt manuscript or corrupt Bible is a text which a. denies the divinity or the pre-existence of Jesus Christ, or b. which equates Satan or Lucifer with Jesus Christ and/or c. which denies that Satan is Lucifer or attempts to introduce a differentiation between Satan and Lucifer.
