In back of this and other changes lie the motives and events which, in 1870, brought into existence the Committees which produced the Revised Versions both the English and the American. During the three hundred and fifty years following the Reformation, repeated attempts were made to set aside the Greek New Testament, called the Received Text, from which the New Testament of the King James in English and other Protestant Bibles in other languages were translated.
Many individual efforts produced different Greek New Testaments. Likewise furious attacks were made upon the Old Testament in Hebrew, from which the King James and other Bibles had been translated. None of these assaults, however, met with any marked success until the Revision Committee was appointed by the southern half of the Church of England under the Archbishop of Canterbury, although the same church in the northern half of England under the Archbishop of York, refused to be a party to the project.
This Revision Committee, besides the changes in the Old Testament, made over 5000 changes in the Received Text of the New Testament and so produced a new Greek New Testament. This permitted all the forces hostile to the Bible to gather themselves together and pour through the breach. Since then, the flood gates have been opened and we are now deluged with many different kinds of Greek New Testaments and with English Bibles translated from them, changed and mutilated in bewildering confusion. - Benjamin Wilkinson, PhD.

[CMV2] The Moffat Version translates Zechariah 13:6 "... I got them in My harlot's house."

[040] Some Bibles have the name "Christ" in this verse. In doing so they followed the "koine" (Symbol= in the Greek NT) text which came from Antioch and Constantinopel, that is the path of the received (Deutsch: Reichstext) text of the Greek New Testament. The textual `apparatus' (explanations) also indicates, by using `al' that a sizeable number of sources from various groups contain that addition. The apparatus `sy^c' indicates that a 5th century (AD) manuscript used by Cureton (1858) also contains the name "Christ".

[200] GB, German Bibles here refers to the Dr. Martin Luther and Zürcher translations. These two translations, thankfully, translate "das Gericht" (`the judgment'). Those Bibles which leave out the article "the" attached to the noun `judgment' change the meaning from the great, final judgment to some intermediate state such as limbo and/or purgatory, this way teaching false Catholic doctrine to unsuspecting readers. The modern rules which translators/ transliterators apparently followed when it suited their theology, on the "article," the "tenses,: — aorists and perfect, — the "pronoun," the "preposition," the "intensive," "Hebraisms," and "parallelisms," pave the way for new and anti-Protestant doctrines concerning the "Person of Christ," "Satan," "Inspiration of the Bible," "The Second Coming of Christ," and other topics.

[220] When the Greek of the New Testament was translated into Latin by Jerome (A.D. 354 - 420), he used the Roman law term `justificatio,' understood by the Roman mind as meaning `to declare right', where he instead should have used, "make righteous." Thus, the Vulgate introduced a Roman model for what salvation is all about. Its ideas were taken from the Latin judicial world. Only later did the consequence become apparent; it led, at last, to the "evangelical" obsession about guaranteeing people places in heaven. We hear it today in the idea "once saved, always saved." The bottom-line meaning of salvation is misunderstood as being a legal declaration and a contract with Deity. This distortion is unspeakably damaging to the potential for genuine liberation. After all, fallen nature being what it is, if salvation is available on a contractual basis, then, in the end, the ultimate issue will always be the contract. (The New Covenant is more than mere unilateral external contract; it includes continued surrender by man and the promise of active heart rewriting by the Holy Spirit.)
Jerome's contemporary, Augustine (A.D. 347 - 420), who knew Latin but not Greek, understood that man could not truly obey anyway, because of his corruption by Original Sin. Such being the case, a contractual plan of salvation was the logical, nay, the only option.
The reason for the slating of "scholasticism", as advanced by the Oxford movement, the `revision committee', was to destroy the Bible without burning it. All these many translations brought in confusion in Christianity, the effect of underhand workings of secret societies under Vatican control. Very many underhand evil influences flourished first in the 19th century and represent direct Satanic planning to destroy the saving gospel to the world in the 1700s. He has gone out to deceive the nations, we ought to never forget that (Rev. 20:8-10). One influence spreading during that time was that started by Franz Mesmer which became known as mesmerism. High priests of free masonry know that this took place. They also know that Charles Darwin was personally tutored by Satan in order to get rid of Bible truths. Evolution was started to destroy truths like (1) creation, (2) God's 7th day Sabbath, (3) the plan of redemption, (4) the fall of man - opening the way for the new age movement and occult teachings that spread through all nations. Promulgators of evolution are helping the purposes of evil which disqualifies them from being a member of Christ's Kingdom. This false teaching has the power to (a) induce spiritual blindness, (b) convince, and (c) convert along doctrines of devils. It is Satan's purpose and lie that he will win the great controversy against Christ. That is the reason why it is so hard today to win people to Christ and have them live up to the high standard of His Kingdom. Many Christian churches engage in a form of "Christian idolatry" which their members are not even aware of because they do not know what constitutes `idolatry', `Baal' worship. A common denominator among all false religions, Christian and non-Christian, is the believe in an immortal soul which is in reality the exaltation of man, making man to be like God. This is taught especially in Mormonism, Catholicism and Protestantism. Eastern religions have variant forms of it, so does Islam. The god of Mormonism was once a man himself who became exalted. No Christian ought to fall for such ideas which are not taught in the Bible. The tentacles of this idea that the dead are not really dead spread throughout the world among nearly all religions. It is of Satan for the Word of God says, "the dead know not anything" (Eccl. 9:5) and "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Eze. 18:4). Today we witness that times are getting harder and harder on earth. One calamity after another strikes and people are glued to the media to take it all in. Satan has also learned to use the environment for his purposes. All these events taking place has the effect to impress people with the importance of Sunday sacredness. What may happen? Believing himself isolated and living on a poisoned planet, man is making strenuous efforts to find other planets (to live on for the rich). Someday soon Satan will use that and cause devils to appear as if they are visiting from other worlds or from distant galaxies and warn earth bound people that this world will destroy itself unless something serious is done. They will claim that they have out of body experiences. Since many believe in an immortal soul, this will fool the world! Hollywood has helped these ideas along with productions like `Star Wars', `E.T.', `Armageddon', `Independence Day', `Strange Encounters' and so on. Satan's "overwhelming surprise" will be launched with all its horrors - the number of which only God knows. When spirits of devils promise that if their recommendations to the leaders of the world are followed very carefully, they will usher in a glorious new age of peace and prosperity - of no more war and crime - where everyone will live in unity, they will be deceived into believing their lies. So listen to presidents. What are they really saying? What sentiments shine through? However, as difficulties increase and calamities multiply, the spirits will put forth all their efforts to bring before the masses of the earth the sacredness of Sunday. With the religious leaders looking forward to 1000 years of peace on earth, they will work hard to accomplish it. Laws will be passed by governments that will force everyone to go along with it whether they believe it or not. Law enforcement will explain to people that such a law is necessary to ensure the well-being of society. This way such a Sunday law will be passed with no problem at all. All nations are involved in Sunday worship. Satan has chosen Sunday as his day. The Creator has chosen the seventh day. Faithful Christians who honor Sunday and treat God's holy day of the Bible like a common work day, do not realize who they are honoring! May they listen up and search out the truth now. Pray to God for understanding His truths which are revealed as they read. Compare scripture with scripture and pray. It takes all spare time for people to do this work in order to save themselves out of a world heading for destruction. Only Christ's Second Coming can save man. We must be His 100% to be saved.
