Bible textual tampering and editing confirmed by all Christian scholars❗
When Muslims quote to Christians their top Bible scholars who admit to Bible textual corruption and tampering, then Christians defend their standpoint by saying that those are not Christians. They are only theologians and Bible scholars!
Actually, many of them would beg to differ. Bruce Metzger, Reverend Jones and Kenneth Cragg are practicing Christians. Bishop Earnest Barnes is an ordained Anglican bishop! Just READ their confessions BELOW …
Strange Faith , this Christianity…. The more that Christians study their Bible, the less Christian they become ❗🤦🏻♂️
And some Agnostic New Testament scholars like Dr Bart D. Ehrman were once devout Evangelical Christians, but following the EVIDENCE has turned them into Agnostic skeptics. Makes you think, doesn’t it? 😵💫
But then the Christian fanatics claim that scholars are mere men who err and forget and can slip up. But not the Bible, which is the Word of God! 😅
But they are ignoring crucial points …
Scholars put the Bible together in the first place. Not the Disciples.
Jesus never told us which books are fit for Canon and which are apocryphal. Scholars decided that 🥱
Scholars are continually working on translating manuscripts and updating their findings in modern Bible versions, like the NIV. So we’re all dependant on scholars, like it or not.
And lastly, the conclusions of scholars who have devoted years of study are way more reliable than the claims of the fanatical Christian laymen we find on these platforms.
Read how all these Christian scholars concur on Bible corruption …
“We cannot too often remind ourselves that the Gospels were circulated in manuscript; editorial insertions and additions were easy …” – Bishop Earnest William Barnes in “The Rise of Christianity”, pg.122
“I saw that God had especially guarded the Bible, yet when copies of it were few, learned men had in some instances changed the words, thinking that they were making it plain, when in reality, they were mystifying that which was plain, by causing it to lean to their established views, which were governed by tradition.” – Ellen C. White, Bible Commentary, vol. 1 pg. 14.
“ Secondly, the Bible as we have it is a much edited body of literature, and the various editors have treated their earlier sources with considerable freedom, nor have they always been very skillful in their treatment.”
– Reverend E. Griffith Jones (BA)D.D quoted in Peake’s Commentary of the Bible.“The evidence is therefore, that the original text of the Christian Greek Scriptures has been tampered with, the same as the text of the LXX (Old Testament) has been…” – New World Translation Bible, Foreword.
“ There is no book in the Old Testament which has suffered more from corruption than Hosea. There is hardly a single verse of which the reader can be sure that it has not been more or less altered .”
– Prof. T.H. Robinson in “An Introduction to the Books of the Old Testament,” pg. 354“ The scribe may alter a text to agree with his theology. This is a very rare form of corruption, but was definitely employed by Marcion, a heretic.
– LD Twilley in “The Origin and Transmission of the New Testament”, pg.44“ Yet, as a matter of fact, every book in the New Testament with the exception of the four great Epistles of St. Paul, is at present more or less the subject of controversy, and interpolations are asserted even in these.” – BRITTANICA , 12th ed.,vol.3, pg.643
“[The New Testament had] in many passages undergone such serious modification of meaning as to leave us in painful uncertainty as to what the Apostles had actually written. ”
Secrets of Mount Sinai, James Bentley, pg. 117“An overwhelming majority of the ‘various readings’ of the MSS (manuscripts) of the New Testament were from the very first intentional alterations. The New Testament in very early times had not canonical authority, and alterations and additions were actually made where they seemed improvements.” – Encyclopedia Biblica, vol.4 pg. 4980
Another Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican
Bishop of Jerusalem, says, comparing the New Testament to the Qur’an:“… Not so the New Testament … There is condensation and editing; there is choice reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the church behind the authors. They represent experience and history …”
The Call of the Minaret, pg. 277
