1 TIMOTHY,2 TIMOTHY,HEBREWS & JAMES

1 TIMOTHY

3:3 "not greedy of filthy lucre" is omitted. The phrase has to do withobtaining earthly gain through disgraceful means. This happens everydaywithin professing Christendom. It is inspired of God and belongs in thetext.

3:16 "God was manifest" is changed to "He was manifest." The reference isto Christ manifest in the flesh, etc. The MAJORITY Text tells us that thisChrist was God. There are 252 copies of Paul's Epistles which have "God"and only 2 copies which have "he." The MINORITY Text leaves us in doubt asto who "he" is. The doctrine of the Deity of Christ is greatly harmed hereby the corrupt text.

4:12 "in spirit" is left out. To be an example of the believer it isnecessary to have a spiritual man guided by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

5:16 "if any man" is omitted. It is unthinkable that the head of the houseshould be removed here from the responsibility to provide for widows.

6:5 "from such withdraw thyself" is dropped. The Bible doctrine ofseparation is affected by this corruption. We are to withdraw from teacherswho are destitute of the truth.

6:19 "eternal life" is changed to "that which is truly life." The firsttalks about the length of life, the second talks about the quality of life.You cannot have the first without being saved. You can have the second butstill be lost, depending on what you think is "truly life."

2 TIMOTHY

1:11 "of the Gentiles" is omitted. That Paul was appointed to teach thegospel to the Gentiles is indisputable (see Gal. 2:7-9).

HEBREWS

1:3 "When he had by himself purged our sins" is changed to "when he hadmade purification of sins." The omission of the word "our" leaves us towonder whose sins were purged, his own or others. It is not plain andtherefore the substitutionary atonement of Christ is affected by thechange. With the words "by himself" the Holy Spirit wanted us to see thatthe atonement for our sins was accomplished by Christ alone. The damage tothis verse is awesome in its' consequences.

3:1 "Christ" is omitted. Our High Priest must be anointed of God to thatoffice and the word Christ means the Messiah or Anointed one of God.

10:34 "in heaven" is left out. Those who had lost all their earthly goodscertainly had no enduring substance here, but in heaven was their treasureand reward.

JAMES

2:20 "faith without works is dead" has been changed to "faith withoutworks is useless." There is a great difference between dead faith anduseless (or idle) faith. The first indicates that no faith exists and theperson is lost. The second implies that faith exists but it is not beingused. Again we see humanism and the false idea of a little divinity in eachone which only needs to be fanned into a flame. The change promotes falsedoctrine.

4:4 "ye adulterers" is dropped from the text. No reason to excuse the menfrom the scathing denunciation of God's Word.

4:14 "It is even a vapour" is changed to "Ye are just a vapour." Indescribing the length of our life, God tells us it will pass quickly like avapour. The change would have US OURSELVES to exist as a little steam.There is a leaning here toward annihilationism.

5:16 "Confess your faults" becomes "confess your sins." In a context whereGod talks about sin in relationship to sickness, he moves on to talk aboutfaults (a side-slip or deviation). The change "faults" to "sins" leads tothe priesthood and the confession box which is contrary to all ofScripture.
