To understand the 'conspiracy' of modern Textual Criticism against the Traditional Greek New Testament texts (Majority texts), it's important to understand what changed in the mid 1850s.
1. The Greek Codex Sinaiticus manuscript was discovered in a Greek monastery in 1844, in a trash bin. Tischendorf in 1859 claimed to have found more additional leaves. He had it published. Along the same era, the Vatican's Greek Bible the Codex Vaticanus, a Greek manuscript discovered in 1475, was published.
2. The publishing of the Greek Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus caused English Bible scholars to come together in 1870 for a proposed revision of the 1611 King James Authorized Bible.
3. The revision committee was led by British scholars Brooke Wescott and Fenton Hort.
4. Wescott and Hort fabricated the theory that the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, which existed few in number, were the oldest, and thus the best Greek manuscripts, which of course has never been proven. It has only been assumed based on a further theory of theirs...
5. Wescott and Hort presented their theory that the Traditional Greek text was corrupt. The Traditional text is about the Majority text, called Majority because they make up the majority of existing Greek NT manuscripts and exist in the thousands. The reason why the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus were 'shorter' they claimed, was because of additions added over the centuries involving the Majority Greek texts, which of course was just a theory of theirs and has never been proven. Thus they claimed their manuscripts were more accurate because of lack of additions.
6. Wescott and Hort for eleven years worked on 'their' new Greek text translation from the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus Greek manuscripts, and Griesbach's critical text used by the Unitarians (liberal leftist views) . Wescott and Hort published their new Greek translation in 1881, and SECRETLY presented it to the revision committee of scholars to be used for the revision.
7. Thus the Greek text used by the Revision committee was a 'new'... Greek translation Wescott and Hort did from the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, and the critical text of the 1770s German scholar Griesbach. The purpose for the Revision committee was to only make necessary 'changes' to the 1611 KJV translation, not re-write the whole New Testament with a NEW Greek translation that Wescott and Hort sneaked into the revision committee!
8. Wescott and Hort's personal letters were published after their death, and reveal they conspired against the Textus Receptus translation from Traditional Greek texts that Erasmus made in 1516-1535. The Textus Receptus was the first Greek NT translation published. It is what Martin Luther and Tyndale used for their Bible versions, and also one of the main sources the English translators used for their 1611 King James Version Bible.
9. Thus the revision committee of the 1880s, of which Wescott and Hort were the overseers pushing in secret to the committee to use their new Greek translation from completely different Greek texts, and rejecting the Traditional Majority Greek texts, began a conspiracy against the Greek New Testament texts traditionally used by the Christian Church based from Antioch.
