From the Webmaster

10/28/2024 If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love

INTRODUCTION 5

The importance of the question discussed in this volume. The Bible as a Factor of Civilization. The Bible in the English Tongue.

CHAPTER I 11

The several English Versions. The occasion for the R. V. The widely recognized need for a Revision. The demand was not for a new Version, but for a revision of the A. V. The state of the original Text. The many Greek Texts of the N. T. Only one Hebrew Text of the 0. T.

CHAPTER II 23

The Various Editions of the Greek Text. That of Stephens of 1850. The Elzevir or Texttis Beceptus, Griesbach’s Text. Lachmann led in a new direction, followed by Tischendorf and Tregelles. Tisehendorf and the Mt. Sinai Ms. The principle of “Ancient Evidence Only.” Alford’s Text.

CHAPTER III 34

Ancient Codices. The Vatican and the Sinaitic. How the latter was discovered, and how Textual Criticism was affected by it.

CHAPTER IV . 40

Characteristics of the two oldest Mss. The many series of corrections to which the Codex Sinaitieus has been subjected. What they prove. The work of an incompetent Scribe. The number and nature of the differences between these two ancient Copies and the Received Text. The conclusions to be drawn.

CHAPTER V 53

The principle of *’ Ancient Evidence Only” examined. Divine Safeguards to the Sacred Text. The Evidential Value of latex Mss. Errors of Omission. An illustrative test of the comparative values of the earlier and the later Mss. The strength of the case for the Received Text.

The Procedure of the Revision Committee. The Instructions given them. How carried out. How the adoption of a New Greek Text (virtually that of Westcott and Hort) was secured.

Specific Examples of Textual Corruption. The last 12 Verses of Mark. The Angelic Message. The Lord ‘s Agony, and His Prayer on the Cross. **The Mystery of Godliness.” Other important passages affected.

CHAPTER VIII 87

Changes in- Translation. The leaning towards greater literality not an improvement. Thousands of uncalled-for changes—^mostly for the worse. Concerning 2 Timothy 3:16. The Version of 1911. Its value as a witness.

CHAPTER IX 96

The strange uses made of the Margin in the R. V. The Name “Jesus.” *’ Thine is the Kingdom.” “The Son of God.” “Which is in Heaven.” “The Number of a Man.” The Island of Melita.

CHAPTER X 102

The Theory of Drs. Westcott and Hort. Many Assumptions, but no proof. The Received Text traced back to the 2d Century by means of Versions and Quotations. No proof at all of any earlier Text. Bishop Ellicott in Defence of the R. V. A comparison as to style between the A. V. and R. V. The Voice of the People. Conclusions.

I am Pastor David Cox, the Webmaster of this site. I am an independent Baptist Missionary pastor working in Mexico City since 1984. Many churches reject a fundamentalist because we do not accept the many false doctrines that modern churches have in common. We believe the Bible, and we preach and teach it. I have written over 400+ tracts and more than 60+ books which are just an extension of my pulpit ministry. All are free. Please help us keep this good material on the Internet for the world.
