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

[WordSword]

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.

Most good Bibles today (electronic and physical), including KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, HCSB, and ASV have footnotes that identify variants in Greek texts. So I guess I don't know how using one of those Bibles "will effect one’s spiritual growth, not receiving all of God’s Word and being exposed to misleading information".

Your post here makes it seem like the Bibles we use today are vastly different in content. But the opposite is true. There are many good articles on the subject. And because of the footnotes I mentioned above, it is easy for today's reader to be well informed of the significant variants. So I guess I don't understand why you're being so negative.

Hi, and appreciate your reply and concern! With me, the footnotes just discredit the Word because they indicate that the information (Scripture) listed should not be included. Also, many of the passages in the modern versions are changed by the scholar using interpolations (adding new materials) and transpositions (rearranging the position of
words, often resulting is an entirely differently thought). These are the most difficult because most readers are that familiar with these type of changes.

It was a shock to my system when I found out that we have no original works (except maybe one scrap) for any Scripture. All we have are copies and copies of copies which for centuries were copied by hand. Obviously, they are not all identical. So necessity dictates that we must choose among the variants which is most trustworthy. And transparency dictates that we must include footnotes where significant variants exist. How else could we do it?

It's ok of course that we are of a different understanding about this issue. In my opinion the most genuine translations are those from the Traditional Text base manuscript copies, because this base contains the majority of all available manuscript copies.

"The Majority Text is a compilation of readings found in the majority of the more than 5,800 Greek New Testament manuscripts that exist. However, there is no single manuscript or finite number that constitutes the "Majority Text" itself, but rather a specific set of readings chosen because they represent the consensus of the most numerous manuscripts within the Byzantine text-type tradition." -AI Google


"The term "minority text" can refer to various concepts, but for the Alexandrian text-type, which is a significant minority text, there are approximately 30 surviving Greek manuscripts, although this number is small compared to the vast number of Byzantine manuscripts, according to a Wikipedia article. These Alexandrian manuscripts represent a much smaller collection of evidence that differs from the majority texts of the New Testament.

"The Minority Text is not a single collection but a category representing the minority of Greek New Testament manuscripts that differ from the majority Byzantine tradition. There is no single fixed number of manuscripts because it's a concept rather than a specific edition, with estimates suggesting the minority texts represent about 20% less of the total manuscripts." -AI Google
