The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 430
corrupt biblical text. In Which Bible, Dr. David Fuller records Constantine’s Bible of choice:
Quite naturally he [Constantine] preferred the one [Bible] edited by
Eusebius and written by Origen, the outstanding intellectual figure that had
combined Christianity with Gnosticism in his philosophy, even as Constantine
himself was the political genius that was seeking to unite Christianity with pagan
Rome.… His predilection was for the type of Bible whose readings would give
him a basis for his imperialistic ideas of the great state church, with ritualistic
ostentation and unlimited central power. The philosophy of Origen was well
suited to serve Constantine’s religio-political theocracy.… Eusebius in publishing
the Bible ordered by Constantine, had incorporated in it the manuscripts of
Origen.… The Church of Rome built on the Eusebio-Origen type of Bible...

Although Vaticanus is well preserved, it is of poor “literary quality.” It is full of errors,
omissions and revisions as would be expected of a Bible commissioned by Constantine. The
following quotes depict these errors and corruption:
Vaticanus, though intact physically, is found to be of very poor literary
quality. Dr. Martin declares, 'B' exhibits numerous places where the scribe has
written the same word or phrase twice in succession. (Rev. Samuel C. Gipp, An
Understandable History Of The Bible).

Besides all that - in the gospels alone it leaves out 237 words, 452 clauses
and 748 whole sentences, which hundreds of later copies agree together as having
the SAME words in the SAME places, the SAME clauses in the SAME places
and the SAME sentences in the SAME places. (Larry Burton, Let's Weigh The
Evidence).

A Revised Bible
In 1870 a Revised Revision Committee was established to update the English of the King
James Version of the Bible. The committee chose not to rely on the Received Text and relied
heavily upon Sinaiticus, Vaticanus and other Alexandrian Texts. The result was the creation of a
new Greek text and a new English version of the Bible called the Revised Version of 1881. The
Revised Version “made 36,000 changes in the English of the KJV, and nearly 6,000 in the Greek
text.”

In 1920 the Jehova Witnesses were using the KJV of the Bible, they didn’t have their
own version at this time. They apparently took note of Westcott and Hort’s Revised Version and
instructed their members to cross out words, phrases and entire sentences in 120 verses of the
KJV of the Bible. A very old woman who was a member of the Jehova Witnesses gave Pastor
Les Garrett a copy of one of these Bibles. The Bible had the corrections made and the
instructions were printed in the front of the Bible.

I did a random sample of some of these
changes and found that they agreed with revisions made by Westcott and Hort. Later we’ll take a
