ADULTERATED BIBLE VERSIONS
Ecumenism Link with the NIV and Other Modern Bible Versions
(Below is an excerpt from The Ecumenical Movement by Michael de Semlyen, (England: Dorchester House Publications,1993).
The new ‘modern’ versions, and commentaries, mostly based on the scholarship of the 1881 Revising Committee led by Anglo-Catholic Cambridge Professors Westcott and Hort. Adherants of the King James or Authorised version are convinced that the text adopted by the revised and modern versions are those which, as long ago as the fourth century, were rejected during period of Arian influence, and which were subsequently discarded by the Reformation.
The view of leading Protestant scholars today is that the King James Version is the only truly Protestant Bible, and the only one which really lends itself to the historical interpretation of the antichrist. Virtually all the other translations are regarded as having leanings towards Liberalism and Romanism, clearly favouring the futurist view in the prophetic passages.
The Ecumenism Movement has ensured continuing co-operation among Catholics and ‘Protestant’ on Bible translations, and there have been innumerable conferences. The Driebergen Conferences, held in june, 1964, and attended by representatives of the United Bible Societies and the Roman Catholic Church, proposed the preparation of a ‘common text’ of the Bible, and a ‘common transalation’, which would be accepted to all. In 1965, the second Vatican Council ratified the Roman Church’s approval of this, and, in 1967, Carlo Martini joined the UBS International Editorial Committee.
Carlo Martini is His Eminence Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, Archbishop of Milan, the Vatican’s predominant Greek scholar, a Jesuit, who is thought of as likely successor to Pope John Paul. He is President of the Council of European Bishop’s Conferences, which represents 133,000 European churches. Cardinal Martini was a member of the UBS editorial committee for both the second and third editions of the Greek New Testament.
The Third Edition of the United Bible Societies’ Greek New Testament, published in 1975, is a complete revision of the text produced previously, incorporating more than five hundred changes, which were made by Cardinal Carlo Martini and his four colleagues. The Third edition was first issued several years before it was actually published. Its preface states that A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament (1971), edited by Bruce M. Metzzger on behalf of the Committee, is based on this Third Edition.’ The Second Edition was produced three years earlier in 1968, so ‘it appears that with no significant accretion of new evidence, the same group of five scholars changed their mind in over five hundred places. It is hard to resist the suspicion that they are guessing.’ (Wilbur N. Pickering: The Identity of the New Testament Text: Thomas Nelson, Nashville, 1980).
The new Latin Vulgate, authorised by Pope Paul VI in1965, was issued by the Vatican and published by the German Bible Society (a member of UBS), in 1979, with a corrected Latin text which ‘conforms’ to the same UBS Third Edition of the Greek New Testament.
In that same year, 1979, the German Bible Society published the twenty-sixth edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament with a Greek text absolutely identical to the UBS third edition.
The New Testament of the New International Version (NIV) is based on the UBS / Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, as are the majority of modern translations, including The New Revised Standard Version, The New American Standard Version, The Revised English Bible and the Good News Bible. According to the International Bible Society, quoting Kenneth L. Barker’s book, The NIV: The Making of a Contemporary Translation, the cryptic ‘eclectic’ Greek New Testament text used was ‘basically that found in the United Bible Societies’ (UBS) and Nestle’s printed Greek New Testaments, which contain the latest and best Greek text available.’ (What lies!)
Some Christians have suggested that the NIV could be called the ‘New Catholic Version’, given that the word ‘catholic’ means ‘universal’ or ‘International’, and many evangelicals see the wide distribution of these ‘Ecumenical’ Bibles, based on a ‘common text’ authorised by the Vatican, as an essential step towards union with Rome. (P. 199-201)
In another excerpt from the ‘Battle Cry’ , November / December, 1995 issue, it also exposed those new Bible versions promote Catholic Doctrine. They are as follows:
New Bible Versions Promote Catholic Doctrine
Small changes in the wording of the Scriptures can often results in major changes in meaning. Christians who claim that all Bible versions are equally good have usually not bothered to check the facts.
Following is a small excerpt from “Which Bible Is God’s Word?” by Gail Riplinger, in which she shows how the identity of Mystery Babylon is hidden in many new versions ... and it’s done oh, so simply.
“Renewal” is a word that was introduced into the new American Standard
Version; there is no such word in any Greek text, so the NASB had to put it in
italics.
This is just one example of the Roman Catholic vocabulary that has been introduced into the new versions.
In the Roman Catholic Church, a “renewal” is merely a time when a member renews their baptismal vows and enthusiasm for God. The Bible, however, says we “must” be born again (John 3:7).
Roman Catholics believe that in infant baptism, one is saved and they merely renew their enthusiasm periodically.
Just as Jesus Christ has a bride, His church, so satan, the great counterfeiter, has a whore, his church. She is described in Revelation 17:5 as “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Revelation 17:9 says she sits on seven hills (“seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth”). To hide the identity of this harlot church, the NIV and NASB make five changes in the New Bibles (new editions, the older editions like the 1973, 1978, 1984 of the NIV are not changed ).
1. They omit the word “city” from Revelation 14:8 so you will not know it is a city.
2. In Revelation 17:9-10, they changed something very serious, and this has
directly affected the exegesis on Revelation 17 throughout the body of Christ
today. The King James Version says, “The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.” Period.
A new sentence starts in verse ten, “And there are seven kings.” Verses nine
and ten are about different things. The new version changed it and say, “The
seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits and they are seven
kings.”
They are trying to make a connection between the hills and the kings so you
will not notice that the seven hills are the city of Rome.
During the Dark Ages (A.D. 500-1500), Rome burned Bibles along with their
owners. Revelation 19:2 says that God will avenge “the blood of his servants
at her hand.”
The words “at her hand” have been omitted in the NIV so the harlot will not be
caught red-handed.
The Pope put the Textus Receptus (the traditional Greek text), on the
index of Forbidden Books.
It is so different from the Catholic Church’s Vulgate Bible, which is based on
the Vaticanus manuscript.
Protestants have reworked their Greek text to match Rome’s Vaticanus
manuscript. Roman Catholic cardinal Carlo Martini is even on the Protestant
Greek New Testament committee.
The prefaces to the Roman Catholic New American Bible, the NASB, and the
NIV, all tell the reader that they are based on the same Nestle/UBS Greek text.
NASB covers, that evangelicals leaders signed a pact with Rome (March 1994).
In her thought-provoking book, Riplinger details many more modern version
changes that lend themselves to Roman Catholic theology.
Saved out of Catholicism herself at the age of 26, she knows whereof she
speaks. After reading her books, so will you!
Another Example of Catholic Doctrine Being Promoted in New Bible Versions:
The word “firstborn” is missing in Matthew 1:25 in the NIV; N.A.S.B.; Good News; Living Bible; New Revised Standard Bible, etc.
“And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his
name JESUS.” (King James Version)
The reason is because Catholicism denies that Virgin Mary had other sons and daughters due to their paganistic teaching of Mary as goddess (Queen of heaven) with a divine Son).
How the Corrupted Manuscript Derived & a List of Omitted Words, Changes, and Additions in Modern Versions Like the NIV, N.A.S.B., Good News, New Revised Standard etc.
Antioch in Syria, made exact copies of the original manuscript. In Syria,
missionaries were sent to Alexander in Egypt. Later Christians in Alexandria
became gnostics. It became the centre of Christian learning in 184 A.D to
254 A.D. The Great student, Origen, became head of the school.
- He applied Platorian philosophy (allegory interpretation of scripture)
- He was an Arian (contemporary Jehovah Witness.)
- He does not accept Jesus as God.
- He and others corrupted the Bible by changing and eliminating verses
that Jesus Christ is God. Example: 1 John 5:7
( Note: Others like Marcion, Lucian also corrupted scriptures ).
- Constantine the emperor who was supposed to be a Christian, but worship
the sun god, ordered Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea to make him 50 Bibles.
- Eusebius was a pupil of Origen. He believed as Origen believed. He used
corrupted manuscripts of Alexandrian Egypt to make the 50 Bibles for the
Roman Catholic church.
- The Latin Vulgate came from the 50 corrupted Bibles. It was written by
Jerome, also a pupil of Origen. The Latin Vulgate became the official Bible
for the Roman Catholics. All others were outlawed.
The King James Bible
The King James Bible came from the Textus Receptus manuscript, also
called the Received Text and the O.T. masoretic text that Jesus used.
In the assemble of manuscripts, so much materials showed up that was exact
copies of the manuscripts from Antioch, Syria, that it became 98% of the
evidence. They rejected the O.T and N.T. that Origen worked on in Egypt,
because it was corrupted. It includes the Catholic Latin Vulgate, Rheims 1582
and The Greek Septuagint (O.T).
The excavation of the Dead sea scrolls found in 1947, discovered that the book
of Isaiah scroll was from the masoretic text.
The Revised Standard Version Bible
In 1875, the R.S.V. was suppose to update the King James words. The
Propagationists were the friends of England’s Catholic Cardinal, Newman.
The propagationists F.J.A. Hort and B.F. Wescott, were educated and trained by
the followers of the Jesuits, Ribera and Alcazar. Hort and Wescott prayed to the
virgin Mary.
Together with a committee, F.J.A. Hort (1828-1892) and B.F.Wescott (1825-
1901) convinced the committee that the old text in the Vatican (originated by
Origen) were more reliable than the Antioch, Syria’s. (Isaiah 30:1-3)
They produced a new English version from the old Roman Catholic Latin
Vulgate Bible derived from Alexander, Egypt. They worked in top secret for
twenty years. They were not updating the King James Bible, but changing it
by using the corrupted manuscript.
Today, all other versions examples, the NIV, NASB, Good News, RSV,
Amplified, Living Bible etc. derived from the Roman Catholic version; mainly
from the Sinaitic and Vatican manuscripts. The use of this relatively few
manuscripts, especially the Sinaitic and Vatican manuscripts are due to the
age of these documents. However, some scholars have reasons to doubt their
faithfulness to the autographs, since they often disagree with one another and
show other signs of unreliability.
The Textus Receptus (Received)
On the other hand, the great majority of the existing manuscripts are in
substantial agreement. Even though, many are late, and none are earlier than
the fifth century. Scholars say, this is due to the wear and tear of these
manuscripts after over a long period of usage and therefore new copies had to
be copied. However, most of their readings are verified by ancient papyri;
ancient versions, and quotations in the writings of the early church fathers. This
large body of manuscripts is the source of the Greek text used by Greek
speaking churches for many centuries, presently known as the Textus Receptus
or the Received Text.
Since the latter nineteenth century, the theory has been held by some scholars
that this traditional text (Received Text) of the New Testament had been
officially edited by the fourth century church. But recent studies have caused
significant changes in this view, and a growing number of scholars now regard
the Received Text as far more reliable than previously thought.
Moreover, very aged manuscripts of the 2nd century has now been unearthed
and found. Many of those readings of the Received Text which had been tagged
scornfully as 'late and spurious' by most of those group of so called textual scientists, are now being found in all these early date manuscripts, examples:
a) The Chester Beatty Papyri, contains 65 readings which had been before rejected by those same critics.

(This same crew that now acts as a self appointed jury to abolish so many of God’s Words
from the Bible)

a) The Chester Beatty Papyri, contains 65 readings which had been before rejected by those same critics.
b) Papyrus Bodmer ll contains 13% of all the so called late readings of the Received Text in the first part of John. (Note: Deut. 4:2; Prov.30:6; Gal.1:6,7; 1 Jn.4:1,2; 2 Pet.3:15,16;
Rev.22:19).
Rev.22:19).
Note: The above reveals authenticity of those omitted scriptures, yet the texual critics today continue to pretend that there are not sufficient reasons to print these doctrinally important words of God in their Bible versions.
Examples of Omitted words, changes and additions in the Roman Catholic
Versions of the Bible.
(Examples of corrupted Bibles: NIV; RSV; Amplified; Good News; NASB; Living Bible etc. Use the King James, 21st Century King James or the Strong’s Concordance to check).
- Removed Christ or Jesus or Christ Jesus or Christ as God 25 times or more.
- Mark’s witness to the ascension of Jesus (Mk.16:9-20) do not appear in the
corrupted Roman Catholic manuscripts, the “Vaticanos” and the “Sinaiticus”,
yet in the Vaticanos, an empty space were left there, where these 12 verses
belong, exactly big enough to accommodate them. How did the scribe know
how much space to have, if the older manuscript from which he copied did not
have these 12 verses?
The Masoretic Text
The Masoretic Text of the O.T. is used together with the Textus Receptus of the
N.T. by the Eastern Greek churches. (They broke off from the corrupted Roman
Catholic church.)
It is proven accurate in 1947 in the finding of the Dead Sea Scroll. The Masoretic
Text was from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Satan is a Deceiver
Satan tried his hand at textual criticism, successfully he insinuated in “Eve’s
itching ear” “You shall not surely die ... , you shall be as God” (Gen.3:15)
Man continued to believe the lie. Like Origen, an early textual critic, many men
believe that, “the scripture are of little use to those who do not understand them
as written” (quoted by MC. Clintock & Strong Cyclopedia in the article on Origen)
When given opportunity like Origen, many would alter the manuscripts to make
them say what they understood them to mean.
Apostle Paul, Peter and John warned corrupters of the Word were already plying
their trade in churches. (Gal.1:6-7; 1 John 4:1; 1 Peter 3:15,16)
Would you prefer to use imitation car parts than the genuine ones? Would you
prefer adulterated ‘Rebina Black Currant Juice’ than the genuine one? Obviously
not! That goes with God’s Word too! (Rev.22:19; Prov.30:6; Ecc.3:14)
