Featured Revision Revised and it's implications on modern critical texts.

Where is your authority for this statement that all texts have been corrupted?

2Ti_3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti_3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Your statement is refuted by the bible itself.

Timothy knew the holy scriptures, which were not the originals but were manuscript copies, Paul called these manuscript copies that Timothy learned from scripture. Paul then writes that all scripture is given by inspiration. Therefore the manuscript copies are still considered to be the inspired scriptures.

The bible nowhere claims that God would preserve "The gist" of the scriptures.... The bible does however claim that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law...
Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

How is man to live by EVERY word if we only have "the gist" of what God says...? it does not say man shall live by ever gist that proceeds out of his mouth..

Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

God obviously cares about all of his word he cares about additions and subtractions... If God pronounces a curse on those who would corrupt his word, why are you so quick to believe that he would not preserve his inerrent words?

I find that your statement all copies of scripture have errors is not based on Sola Scriptura but is based on what Paul would call "Oppositions of science falsely so called." and based on man made tradition.

You seem to fail to realize that Inspiration that is preserved is still inerrent.

Nowhere in scripture does it say God will preserve "the gist" of his word. your position is unscriptural.

Here are some more scriptures to think upon.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Please don't feed me the them is God's people, anyone who knows basic english can tell that the words of the Lord are the antecedent for them.

 

You failed to address any of the scriptures in my post and you are speaking purely from vain human philosophy and wisdom.

Col_2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

 

Which Greek texts are the preserved words?

 

Something that's preserved isn't corrupted or missing important verses like the last 12 verse of Mark 16.

You don't seem to know what preserved means.

 

When did I say a translation?

 

As To MANUSCRIPTS, there are none older than the fourth century, and the oldest two uncial MSS. Vaticanus and Sinaiticus are without those twelve verses. Of all the others (consisting of some eighteen uncials and some six hundred cursive MSS. which contain the Gospel of Mark) contain these twelve verses.

There are also some very curious irregularities with both Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. As Dean Burgon testifies, the Vatican manuscript has only one blank space in the entire manuscript and it is here at the ending of Mark 16:8. He says "it is amply sufficient to contain the verses, the column in question being the only vacant one in the whole manuscript." The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels, Volume 1, page 298.

As for Sinaticus, according to Dean Burgon pages 298-299, even Tischendorf (who discovered this codex) believed this whole section was originally canceled out and written over by a different scribe than the one who wrote most of the manuscript. Suddenly the letters in the columns become much larger than at any other place in the codex, either before or after. Dean Burgon points out that if the letters had been written in the normal size, there would be ample room for these missing 12 verses.

 

The oldest is the Syriac in its various forms : the "Peshitto" (cent. 2), and the "Curetonian Syriac" (cent. 3). Both are older than any Greek MS. in existence, and both contain these twelve verses. So with the "Philoxenian" (cent. 5) and the "Jerusalem" (cent. 5).

THE LATIN VERSIONS. JEROME (A.D. 382), who had access to Greek MSS. older than any now extant, includes these twelve verses; but this Version (known as the Vulgate) was only a revision of the VETUS ITALA, which is believed to belong to cent. 2, and contains these verses.

THE GOTHIC VERSION (A.D. 350) contains them.

THE EGYPTIAN VERSIONS: the Memphitic (or Lower Egyptian, less properly called "COPTIC"), belonging to cent. 4 or 5, contains them; as does the "THEBAIC" (or Upper Egyptian, less properly called the "SAHIDIC"), belonging to cent. 3.

THE ARMENIAN (cent. 5), the ETHIOPIC (cent. 4-7), and the GEORGIAN (cent. 6) also bear witness to the genuineness of these verses.

THE FATHERS. Whatever may be their value as to doctrine and interpretation yet, in determining actual word or their form, or sequence their evidence, even by an allusion, as to whether a verse or verses existed or not in their day, is more valuable than even manuscripts or Versions. There are nearly a hundred ecclesiastical writers older than the oldest of our Greek codices; while between A.D. 300 and A.D. 600 there are about two hundred more, and they all refer to these twelve verses.

1. PAPIAS (about A.D. 100) refers to v. 18 (as stated by Eusebius, Hist. Ecc. iii. 39).

2. JUSTIN MARTYR (A.D. 151) quotes v. 20 (Apol. I. c. 45).

3. IRENAEUS (A.D. 180) quotes and remarks on v. 19 (Adv. Hoer. lib. iii. c. x.).

4. HIPPOLYTUS (A.D. 190-227) quotes vv. 17-19 (Lagarde's ed., 1858, p. 74).

5. VINCENTIUS (A.D. 256) quoted two verses at the seventh Council of Carthage, held under CYPRIAN.

6. The ACTA PILATI (cent. 2) quotes vv. 15, 16, 17, 18 (Tischendorf's ed., 1852, pp. 243, 351).

7. The APOSTOLICAL CONSTITUTIONS (cent. 3 or 4) quotes vv. 16, 17, 18.

8. EUSEBIUS (A.D. 325) discusses these verses, as quoted by MARINUS from a lost part of his History.

9. APHRAARTES (A.D. 337), a Syrian bishop, quoted vv. 16-18 in his first Homily (Dr. Wright's ed., 1869, i. p. 21).

10. AMBROSE (A.D. 374-97), Archbishop of Milan, freely quotes vv. 15 (four times), 16, 17, 18 (three times), and v. 20 (once).

11. CHRYSOSTOM (A.D. 400) refers to v. 9; and states that vv. 19, 20 are "the end of the Gospel".

12. JEROME (b. 331, d. 420) includes these twelve verses in his Latin translation, besides quoting vv. 9 and 14 in his other writings.

13. AUGUSTINE (fl. A.D. 395-430) more than quotes them. He discusses them as being the work of the Evangelist MARK, and says that they were publicly read in the churches.

14. NESTORIUS (cent. 5) quotes v. 20 and

15. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA (A.D. 430) accepts the quotation.

16. VICTOR OF ANTIOCH (A.D. 425) confutes the opinion of Eusebius, by referring to very many MSS. which he had seen, and so had satisfied himself that the last twelve verses were recorded in them.

 

Have you ever considered that a majority of modern scholars don't know what they are talking about?

 

Yes. they are.

The reading from these that follow the reading of the A.V. (KJV) are 3,308 vs readings that follow the NIV(Critical Text) are 818

Some manuscripts really?

the readings from the NIV and ESV are only supported by: B,D, the cursives p and C, The old latin a,c,k, and the Coptic Fayyumic. (Early MSS, Church Fathers, and the A.V., Moorman pg 166)
This is just one example of 356 doctrinal passages Moorman concludes in his book.Seems Morman is coming to the same conclusions as Burgon even more than a century later.
Extremely Factual and puts a nail in the coffin of critical greek texts, it destroys the Wescott and Hort theory.

These are only a few problems and reasons why I reject the CT/MT/BZT.
