The Problem
Modern Bible versions are based on corrupt manuscripts rather than the pure text behind the King James Bible.
In the 1800s, Westcott & Hort rejected the Received Text and built a new Greek text from two corrupt manuscripts:
Codex Vaticanus (from the Pope’s library, missing major portions of Scripture)
Codex Sinaiticus (found in a trash can on Mt. Sinai).
The Alexandrian Source
The corruption began in Alexandria, Egypt, through the writings of men like Origen and Clement of Alexandria.
In 313 A.D., Emperor Constantine ordered 50 copies of Scripture from Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea.
Rather than use the pure Syrian text from Antioch, Eusebius provided manuscripts tainted with Alexandrian corruption.
This Alexandrian text eventually became embedded in Vaticanus, Westcott and Hort’s Greek Text, and today’s modern translations.
These “older and better” manuscripts trace back to Alexandria, Egypt, where men like Origen corrupted God’s word. From there, errors spread into Vaticanus, Westcott & Hort’s text, and now into nearly every modern translation.
What’s Missing or Changed?
Here are only a few dangerous examples:
1 Timothy 3:16 – Removes “God” from “God was manifest in the flesh.”
Daniel 3:25 – Changes “the Son of God” to “a son of the gods.”
Isaiah 7:14 – “Virgin” becomes “young woman.”
Isaiah 14:12 – “Lucifer” is changed to “morning star” (a title of Christ).
Matthew 6:13 – Omits “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory.”
Acts 8:37 – Erased, removing the clear statement that faith comes before baptism.
Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:14 – Remove “through His blood.”
1 John 5:7 – Deletes the strongest verse on the Trinity.
Why This Matters
Every change weakens doctrine, removes Christ’s glory, or sows doubt about God’s Word. While claiming to make the Bible “easier,” modern versions actually corrupt the truth and assist Satan’s attack on Scripture.
God’s Preserved Word
God has honored the King James Bible for centuries—through revivals, missions, and the spread of the gospel. But He has never blessed the Alexandrian manuscripts or the modern versions based on them.
Stand firm on the Bible God preserved. Trust the King James Bible.
