DID A SCRIBE ADD WORDS IN COPYING?

[DougE]

There are many who explain the longer readings in the KJV as being attributed to a scribe adding words and verses.

This sounds plausible until the procedures put in place to assure accuracy and integrity are examined.

Manuscripts were made from papyrus and parchment. These materials assured for multiple copies to be preserved to ensure future copies would be in agreement.

There was no writing from memory. Every word or letter was studied in the original copy and spoken before copying to prevent mistakes and assure integrity.

The middle letter of each book and each page was compared to the original copy. Missing a single letter or word was a serious offense, as it could impact the meaning or violate the sanctity of the text. A variety of techniques were employed to correct mistakes.

A supervisor examined the entire scroll to ensure accuracy. Not just one supervisor examined the text, there were multiple reviews conducted.

The copies were cross checked at different writing center locations.

These attacks impung the integrity and reverence exhibited by the scribes, who so revered the text, they washed before copying

To me it's more credible to think there were corrupt manuscripts introduced among the valid ones. These corrupt manuscripts were eventually adopted by textual critics and incorporated in the new Bibles.

Well biblically speaking were was there a good witness ?

Act 11:26
(26) And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

It is in Antioch that they had good manuscripts, and that a good witness came forth, but via Alexandria Egypt, a whole lot of corrupt things came from there.

The way Satan works, is he does not always come as a boogie man, but most of the time he comes as an angel of light, and via bible versions, the devil has used corrupt manuscripts to water down the bible, and gradually as more and more translations get made, it becomes more and more corrupt to were in some bibles, you have a hard time finding things such as homosexuality.

Truths get gradually taken out.

Now via corrupt manuscripts, here is a bit of info, though there is a whole stack of info, you can get on the subject:

(Chick.com: Is the 'World's Oldest Bible' a Fake?)

(...Modern research techniques have revealed a hidden scheme aimed at God's Holy Words...

Modern Bibles have changed many verses because of the discovery of an "ancient" manuscript in a monastery on the Sinai Peninsula.

The manuscript, called Sinaiticus, is claimed to be the earliest complete copy of the New Testament. Its discoverer, who was a world leading Bible scholar in his time, told the world Sinaiticus was from the 4th-century and that it was the "oldest and best" Bible available.

Publishers rushed to make new Bibles with many changes to match it.

But not everyone agreed. When this famed 19th-century Bible scholar, Constantine Von Tischendorf, claimed the ancient date, a well-known Greek calligrapher said, "No! I made that document!" But why did no one believe him? Maybe it's because pages of the manuscript were stored where no one could view them, archived in exclusive collections across several continents.

Now, an international group has carefully photographed each page of Sinaiticus and is displaying it on the internet as high-quality digital images. For the first time, Bible scholars and students can see the entire manuscript together, as was never possible before. And what they are seeing with their own eyes is shocking. Some of the pages are white and look quite new, while others have been darkened to make them look very old. If they are all from the same "old" Bible, how can this be?...)

Researcher David W. Daniels proves with easy-to-understand evidence that the Sinaiticus is not the oldest manuscript and certainly not the best, either. He is also convincing in showing it's not old after all and that the Greek calligrapher did make it, in the 19th-century.

Most bible colleges today, go with the new bible versions mindset, thinking that these bibles were made so people can better understand the bible in modern English, but that is not so, you should look at many of the N.I.V. original translators, and there was a plan behind the scenes among some, and watering down the bible was one of those plans, it is no coincidence that the bible talks about a falling away, and also one of the plans is to form a one world religion, bringing a false unity among the churches, and most are falling into that trap.

 

[Gerbolski]

The trend were heading in, and are in, is this, that as more and more bible translations get made, the less and less truths are contained in these bibles, and the easier it will be to form a one world religion, and get the protestants and so forth, as being one with the Roman Catholic church, and thus under apostasy.

Wake up church !!!
