Why I am KJV Only (In English)

By YBible

Modern Bible translations attack essential doctrines by omitting verses, phrases, words and via corrupt word substitutions, doing so by favoring only two Greek manuscripts Vaticanus & Sinaiticus over the other 5,856 Greek manuscripts recorded. While the King James Version and its predecessors align with 95% of all manuscript evidence.

Vaticanus & Sinaiticus Overview

Origins: Gnostic Christians in Alexandria Egypt.

Preservation: Catholic Church.

Contents: Both have the Apocrypha mixed in as scripture. Sinaiticus adds the Epistle of Barnabas & Shepherd of Hermas. 1/4 of the Bible is omitted, even Jesus' bodily resurrection is cut from the gospels. Vaticanus cuts 749 sentences, 452 clauses, plus 237 other words in the gospels alone.

Pathway to Prominence: Popularized by Westcott & Hort (1881). Westcott taught Gen. 1-3, the return of Christ, Heaven/Hell are not literal nor were Abraham and Moses real people, contacting the dead, purgatory and idolized Mary. Hort was an evolutionist, denied a literal Devil, Angels, Hell, and Christ’s atonement as sufficient. He taught Catholic purgatory and sacraments.

Culmination: Westcott & Hort’s work conceived the N-A/UBS Greek text that underlies all modern Bible versions, new editions are made in conjunction with the Vatican. When you hear the phrase "oldest and best manuscripts" they are referring to Vaticanus & Sinaiticus.
