List of Totally or Partially Omitted, Transposed and Interpolated Bible Passages

Most Bible studies will not involve one of the most significant issues of the times, which has to do with modern Bible translations. This issue of course cannot effect one’s salvation, but will effect one’s spiritual growth, not receiving all of God’s Word and being exposed to misleading information.

The majority of those who copied scriptural manuscripts (scribes) discarded a small amount of manuscripts that did not agree with the majority of extant copies. Two sources that were rejected for copying were the codex Vaticanus and the codex Sinaiticus. The codex Alexandrinus is included but is excessively missing much of the OT and NT, along with much decadence of page condition, torn leaves and lacunae on the edges of almost every page of Revelation.

These oldest manuscript copies just recently became available (19th century) for making translations. The Vaticanus was discovered in the Vatican library and remained perdu for fifteen centuries, until it was discovered on a shelf. The Sinaiticus was discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai in Egypt. A monk was burning some of the leaves (probably to keep warm) when Constantine von Tischendorf, a German biblical scholar, located portions of the manuscript there. He first found some leaves in a waste basket during his initial visit in 1844. A larger portion of the manuscript was discovered during his subsequent visit in 1859.

The recently found manuscript copies did not wear out like the majority of extant copies because they fell into disuse due to the fact that most of the scribes would not use them for copying purposes.

Hello netchaplain;

I overlooked this thread from August. The codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus go back roughly 2100 years ago. Who would discover these omissions and sounding justified, prompting the publishers to update the translations accordingly?!?

If this was a major issue then it would've been important to make this research known in our Christian Churches and Bibles used to study God's Word.

This was touched briefly at seminary but I never specialized in this sort of research. How many Christians would know this information?

Christian student disciples, teachers, preachers have enough in their respective walk just striving to remain obedient to Christ and God's Inerrant Word.

It's sad to know God's Word is later decided by humans and their so called discoveries to decide whether to add, omit or improve what already is in place.

Are we to say that God made mistakes by sending His servants to produce His Good Book?

God bless you, Bob and your family.

Bob

Hi Brother, love your reply, but I believe most Christians will never catch on to how far off the modern versions are from the Traditional Text manuscripts. I have no doubt that this travesty has contributed to many weak believers ceasing from church attendance and praying; it may even be part of the "falling away" group (2Th 2:3; 1Ti 4:1; 2Ti 4:3). "The vaticanus and sinaiticus dates to the first half of the 4th century CE, making it roughly 1,700 years old" -AI Google

Love you and your Family! God blessings to you all, and God be blessed!!
 
Good morning, netchaplain;

I'm getting back to you a little late this week and wanted to ask, since your time out earlier this year have you been feeling better, health wise?

One thought came to me after reading your thread. Would you agree that many of these "omissions" are minor errors from manuscripts handwritten and copied (by human) over and over for several centuries?

If this is correct then I don't feel it effects God's inerrant Word and the original doctrine intended.

God bless you, Bob, and hope your family is doing well.

Bob
