http://www.bibletoday.com/htstb/spurious.htmI’m not going to say that this list is etched in stone. Here’s what this is: On authority of Professor C. Tisendorf’s notes on the reading of the two oldest Greek manuscripts, the Sinaitic and the Vatican #1209. The words listed, found in our common King James Version are not found in the oldest manuscripts.
Now 75% of those listed are not of that much consequence. Quite frankly they are just a simple word, like should we say ‘sin’ or should it be ‘faults.’ You know your faults or your sins or something like that. But some are really paramount and one or two of them really threw me. Because I didn’t see this particular list until I did this study.
So I’ll show you the ones that kind of threw me.
This one kind of threw me a little.
Mark 10:30 …houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands with persecutions
Matt. 5:23 … without a cause
Of course I had heard that 40 years ago, I knew that one.
But this next one I’ve known about for some years now and I’ve been playing around with it in my mind.
Mark 16:9-20 (All these verses)
This is like John 8, with the woman caught in adultery. I can understand it and explain it, whether it is or isn’t Scripture. But here in Mark 16:9 “And when Jesus had risen early the first day of the Sabbath,”
Beginning in verse 9, although that is similar to what you find in Luke and John… but then it goes off, and there are some stuff there that is not mentioned in the other gospels. But the point is, whether some of it is similar or even the same verses, this whole section is not found in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus, which are the two oldest manuscripts in the world. This is not in them, from verse 9 all the way down to the end. They call this the large ending or whatever.
On the other hand, if you end the book with verse 8, “And they went out quickly and fled from the tomb. For they trembled and were amazed. Neither did they say anything to anyone, for they were afraid.”
That doesn’t sound right. That does not sound like a conclusion of a book to me.
But the verses that does give me a little hesitance is verse 17 and 18.
Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow them who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak new tongues;
v. 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Now that bothers me a little. I can explain it though. You say, ‘how does that exactly work?’ Because it is a red letter and the words of Christ are spirit.
Of course this is where you get these Appalachian people that are snake handlers. Most of them must have been bitten 40 times and some of them have died. But anyway that whole section is not in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus, which I knew a long time ago and so it is on the list.
Mark 9:29 …and fasting
You know the one that says, “can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” Well it’s prayer, but fasting is not in there.
Mark 14:30 twice
Mark 14:68 and the cock crew
Mark 14:72 the second time… twice
None of those word are in there. I actually had an explanation for that along time ago, but if it’s not in there, it doesn’t need to be explained.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do
This one really threw me. It’s not in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus, so is it Scripture or isn’t it? I don’t know. It’s not in the two oldest ones, so maybe it’s not.
Here is the other one.
John 8:1-11 (all these verses)
That’s the woman taken in adultery. That whole story is not in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus, so maybe it’s not Scripture. I can explain it though, because up until last spring I thought it was Scripture. I’ve got an explanation for it, because this is a way to show another contradiction in the Bible. That Christ did not obey the laws of God, that He broke them. Because the law of Moses said to stone her and they ask Him, “what do You say.” Christ said;
John 8:7 …He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.
v. 8 And again bending down, He wrote on the ground.
v. 9 And hearing, and being convicted by conscience, they went out one by one…
So how do you get around the fact that Jesus is breaking the commandment of Moses? Here was the woman caught in adultery, with eye witnesses and Moses’ law said to stone her. How did Christ get around that without breaking the law of Moses? Well I figured out how He did, that is if it is Scripture, it has to do with how Jesus will judge when He returns. Now that’s going to be an eye opener.
About a year or two ago I was talking on the phone and I said, do you know of one Scripture that you can actually prove to me, that when Jesus Christ returns He kills anyone? Can you show me a Scripture where Jesus Christ when He comes back to rule and judge the world, that He kills anyone? I haven’t found one yet. Now that is going to be an eye opener.
You can go through all this list in your leisure. But there are two that are really important to me.
1 John 5:7 … in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth…
Of course I wrote my Trinity paper years ago and I put all that in there. That part of those verse is not in there. Not only is it not in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus or the Alexandrimus or the Vulgate or any other Scripture in any language in the 3rd- 4th- 5th- 6th- 7th- 8th- 9th- 10th- 11th- 12th- 13th or the 14th centuries, somebody wrote it in a 15th century manuscript and it was given to Erasmus. He had said if I see it in one Scripture, I’ll put it in. So somebody wrote it again and he said, there it is. It was in a 15th century Scripture, in a copy of the Greek and he couldn’t go back on his word, so he put it in. It’s not Scripture!
You know that’s the big trinity Scripture, and it’s not Scripture. It’s not only isn’t found in early Scripture, it’s not found in any Scripture until the 1500’s.
Constantine von Tischendorf, a German Biblical scholar, in the middle of the 19th century, was traveling the Mediterranean world in search of manuscripts of the Bible. One of those trips brought him to St Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mt. Sinai, where he identified 43 leaves as being from an important manuscript. He managed to persuade the monks and people in charge to take those 43 leaves back to Leipzig where he was professor in order to transcribe them and make an edition of those leaves. (From ‘Turning The Pages Gallery’)
When he was there they were actually burning in the fire, using for kindling, copies of old manuscripts, a 1000 years old. He was blown away with this and he tried to salvage them. The day he was ready to leave one of the monks said, ‘I have an old manuscript.’ Well Tischendorf ask how old and he said very old. He didn’t get it then, but when he showed it to him and he was mesmerized. So when he returned he was able to purchase it. But this was resent, back in the 1800’s.
Now for the last few years I’ve been looking at all these things, about the return of Christ, the millennium and the kingdom and all these things. I haven’t written to much about that yet. You know why? Because I don’t understand it! But now I’m getting there and here is a Scripture in Revelation.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
v. 3 And he cast him into the bottomless pit (abyss), and shut him up and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed a little season.
That verse gives me a problem, it would take a long time to explain why. Believe me most people that teach and write books on these prophecies, don’t have a clue. Not only do they not have the answers, they don’t even know what the problems are.
But these verses here;
Rev 20:4 …And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
v. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Both of these verses can not be true, there is a problem here. I racked my brain, in my spare time, but I kept it in the back of my mind for a long time. There is a problem, that won’t work and I can’t make it work. It doesn’t fit, there is no way to make this thing fit. Then some months ago, now I know why it, “But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished” won’t fit. It’s not Scripture! Tischendorf has it right there.
Rev. 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished...
It’s not in the Sinaiticus. So I said, okay now we’re moving again. We’re a little closer to the Truth.
I really am going to prepare a boom buster on Genesis. How long were the creation days? Where did the dinosaurs fit in? Does God learn? Did God ever have to work? But I’ve got some Scripture that, boy I’m telling you, if they say what I think they say, we are going to see things in a different light.
It will probably be next Aug. in Nashville, unless I can’t get everything together by then. I want to learn some formulas, but I don’t know if I can.
Yesterday I was saying all the writers are prophets. If you are inspired to speak or teach or write, you are technically a prophet. But I don’t call myself a prophet thought. I can teach I guess and I know a few things, but I have never considered myself a scholar. No, I’m not a scholar. People write me and say, ‘well you think you know it all.’ I’ve never said I know... I mean I do know a few things, but I never bragged about what I know. You would like to think that I think that, but I don’t. I know what I am in the sight of God, I’m a worm. I know that. Even though I get loud sometimes, it doesn’t mean that I’m vain about what I know, I just do it for effect. Because that’s the way I am, that's the way I teach.
