Scofield the Adulterer
Scofield abandoned his wife Leotine and two daughters Abigail & Helene in Kansas, and went to Dallas Texas and pastored a small church where he met 24 year old Hettie Van Wart in his sunday school class
At 41 years old Scofield divorced Leotine and married Hettie, they both produced the 1909 Scofield reference bible while in this adulterous relationship
Scofield died in 1921 while remaining married to Hettie, while his wife Leotine lived (Adultery)

For me, the right or wrong version is a mute point as no one and I mean no one can come to the father unless they get a revelation of who he is by the Holy Spirit. Without that revelation, the so called conversion experience is neither here or there. That is why so many people think they are Christians when they are not because all they have done is give head knowledge to the fact, not a Holy Spirit experience of salvation.
When I was born again at the age of 11 years old, I knew I was because I felt the Holy Spirit fall on me. I was what you might call "sealed". As I walked home from the church it felt like I was walking on air and if I had to cross any water, I am sure I would have walked on it.
And bearing in mind the last catalogue I received from a Christian bookstore had 46 different versions of the bible for sale. God help us!!
The best bible for study is one with extra extra large print

I have a hard time accepting a translation HCSB that is supported by the Greek Text (Novum Testamentum Graece) created by Adulterers (Kurt and Barbara Aland), and homosexual union supporter, roman catholic jesuit cardinal (Carlo Maria Martini)
Yes Kurt Aland divorced his wife Ingeborg, and married his student Barbara Nee Ehlers, being 22 years older (Adultery)
Did God use Adulterers and A Homosexual Union Supporter to preserve his Holy Words? (NOT)

Precious friend, not sure IF that is a fact, Considering God's Viewpoint:
”The WORDS Of The LORD Are Pure WORDS: as silver tried
in a furnace of earth, Purified Seven Times. Thou Shalt Keep THEM,
O LORD, Thou Shalt PRESERVE THEM from this generation for ever.”
(Psalms 12:6-7 KJB!)
"I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy HOLY
Name for Thy LovingKindness and for Thy TRUTH: for Thou
Hast MAGNIFIED Thy WORD Above All Thy Name!"
( Psalms 138:2 KJB! )
IF "salvation By GRACE Through faith" In JESUS CHRIST, His Death,
Burial, And Resurrection, According To Pure/Perfect Scriptures,
(1 Corinthians 15 : 3-4; Ephesians 2 : 8-9 KJB!), Is God's Most
Important Truth TO everyone Today, then HOW is a "corrupt
version" going to Give us This Important Truth, Since:
"...faith cometh by hearing, And hearing By The {PERFECT} Word Of God."
(Romans 10:17 KJB!)
Further, WHY Would God Allow a corrupt version To Be "MAGNIFIED
Above All Of HIS HOLY Name"? That theology should "please NO TRUE
believer," Correct?

Precious friend, a Very Warm Welcome to this discussion board. God
Bless you, and may you be Very Richly Encouraged In HIS Perfect
And HOLY Word, when you make your Final decision, For HIM!
This is from another Precious brother, David Cloud:
“I am confident that multitudes of early believers shared this zeal
to make copies both of God’s Word and of evangelistic pamphlets.
It is only natural, for the believer is born of The Word (Jam. 1:18;
1 Pet. 1:23), lives by The Word (Mat. 4:4), continues in The Truth by
The Word (Jn. 8:31-32), is a doer of The Word (Jam. 1:22), grows by
The Word (1 Pet. 2:2), operates by the faith that comes from The
Word (Rom. 10:17), is cleansed by The Word (Eph. 5:26), and defends
himself by The Word (Eph. 6:17)”
..please approach this subject with an open and prayerful heart,
desiring to know The Truth and willing to follow wherever It Leads
(Jn. 7:17), leaning not upon his or another man’s understanding
but leaning solely Upon God (Prov. 3:5-6; Jer. 17:5), not fearing man
(Prov. 29:25) nor honoring man above That Which Is Written (1 Cor. 6:4),
basing his position solely upon The Word of God (Jn. 8:31-32), that
he will come out on the side of the Masoretic Hebrew Old Testament
and the Received Greek New Testament and of faithful translations
thereof, such as the KJV in English.”
==============================
Modern day “believers”? Which “version” for you?
a small "study" Comparison {With Holy Spirit Teaching?}
Acts 20:28 KJV:
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the
which The Holy Ghost Hath made you overseers, to feed the church
of God, which He Hath Purchased With HIS OWN Blood.”
niv: “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[ a] which he bought with his own blood.[ b]”
{footnotes: [a] Many manuscripts of the Lord}
my "study" question: Many or a Few?
{b. Or with the blood of his own Son.}
Denying "That JESUS Is God"?
nasb: “Be on guard for yourselves and for all. ( A) the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you [ a]overseers, to shepherd. ( B) the church of God which. ( C) He [ b]purchased [ c]with His own blood.”
So nasb, WHICH is it, the above, or:
nasb: "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you [a]bishops, to shepherd the church of God which He [b]acquired [c] through His own blood. "
my "study" question: Confusing, can't "make up our mind"?
Romans 14:10 KJV:
“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost
thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all
stand before The JUDGMENT Seat of CHRIST.”
niv: “You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.”
nasb: “But as for you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you as well, why do you regard your brother or sister with contempt? For we will all appear before the judgment seat of God. ”
1 Corinthians 15:47 KJV:
“The first man is of the earth, earthy: the
Second Man is The LORD from heaven.”
niv: “The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. ”
nasb: “The first man is from the earth, [a]earthy; the second man is from heaven. ”
Ephesians 3:9 KJV:
“And to make all men see what is the fellowship of The Mystery,
Which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
Who Created all things By JESUS CHRIST:”
niv: “and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.”
nasb: “and to [a]enlighten all people as to what the plan of the mystery is which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things;”
My "study" question: Is it not corrupting God's PURE Word, to Deny
That JESUS CHRIST Is The Creator Of All things, By Omitting His
HOLY Name?
Colossians 1:14 KJV:
“In Whom we Have Redemption Through HIS BLOOD,
Even The Forgiveness of sins:”
niv: “in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
nasb; “in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
My "study" question: Is it not corrupting God's PURE Word, to Deny
That JESUS CHRIST Is The "Redeemer And Saviour," By Omitting
HIS BLOOD?
1 Timothy 3:16 KJV:
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
Manifest In The Flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached
nto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory.”
niv: “Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[a] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.”
nasb: “Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh,
Was [a]vindicated [b]in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.
My "study" question: Is it not corrupting God's PURE Word, to
Deny The Deity Of JESUS CHRIST, That He Is Indeed God Almighty,
By Changing The Word "God" to something Else? Corruption???
1 Timothy 6:5 KJV:
“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of The
Truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
niv: “and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.”
nasb: “and constant friction between people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that [a]godliness is a means of gain.” --------------------------- ???
Precious friend, in your OWN Careful/Prayerful "study," would you
Also question The Above OMISSION ? Would you ask: What is Satan doing? -------------------------- ???
Q: Is it ok With God for Modern Day "believers" to "Omit/Change
Some or Many Of God's PURE Words," in Light Of HIS Commands?:
"Ye shall not add unto The Word Which I command you, neither shall
ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of
The LORD your God which I command you." (Deuteronomy 4:2 KJB!)
"What thing soever I Command you, observe to do it: thou shalt
not add thereto, nor diminish from it." (Deuteronomy 12:32 KJB!)
"Every Word of God is Pure: He Is A Shield Unto them that put their
trust In Him. Add thou not unto His Words, lest He Reprove thee,
and thou be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6 KJB!)
"For I testify unto every man that heareth The Words of the prophecy
of This Book, If any man shall add unto These Things, God shall add
unto him the plagues that Are Written In This Book.: And if any man
shall take away from The Words Of The Book of this prophecy, God
shall take away his part out of The BOOK Of LIFE, and out of the
holy city, and from The Things Which Are Written In This Book."
(Revelation 22:18-19 KJB!)
Finally, IF Modern Day translators Do NOT understand That
Disobeying God Is Still a sin, then, I am Certainly NOT "going
to trust THEM, OR THEIR corrupt versions!"
I WILL trust ONLY In God, And HIS PURE And HOLY Word! Alone!!
Amen?

↑ Your response has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that God didnt use Adulterers Kurt Aland or Barbara Ehlers in the preservation of his words in the Greek Text (Novum Testamentum Graece) that supports modern versions (Counterfeits) of Gods truth

Do you know the people who have researched the issues and come to their conclusions? They may not be correct but calling them evil is judging them. You do not know their motives or their research methods. God will judge you as harshly as you judge them.
Calling something counterfeit because a few verses are missing is also excessive. What vital doctrines are missing? I've studied Amplified, NEB, Berkley, RSV, NIV, NASB, KJV, and NKJV. That's before I discovered Bible Hub. While not every version has the same interpretation, they agree on the fundamentals. I tend to use the NASB mostly. Whatever suits you, as long as you study something.

You call hundreds of verses and thousands of words missing "a few"? The most vital doctrines which have been attacked are (1) the doctrine of the divine preservation of Scripture and (2) the doctrine of Christ itself. So rather than anyone else telling you that this is true, it behooves you to closely examine the critical texts vs the traditional texts and discover for yourself the fraud and the hoax which has been perpetrated on unsuspecting Christians.
In any event the slightest attempt to tamper with the Word of God is forbidden by God. So even if one verse of Scripture had been removed, that would not have been acceptable to God and Christ. The fact is that hundreds of verse have been tampered with. Let's take one very critical passage (Mark 9:41-48) about the reality of eternal Hell. A doctrine that is mercilessly attacked by the cults.
I am quoting from the NIV which could not help but make itself look foolish by inserting the numbers for verses 44 and 46 and then blithely skipping to the next verses. The NIV, like all modern versions, is based upon the corrupted critical text. Therefore two important verses -- the words of Christ recorded for us -- have been expunged. But the translation itself is faulty.
[Mar 9:41-48 NIV] 41 Truly I tell you [TRANSPOSED], anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah [SUBSTITUED FOR CHRIST] will certainly not lose their [INSTEAD OF HIS] reward. 42 "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them [INSTEAD OF HIM] if a large millstone were hung around their [INSTEAD OF HIS] neck and they [INSTEAD OF HE] were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [NOT THE SAME AS NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED] 44 [GLARING OMISSION OF WHOLE VERSE] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [INTO THE FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED OMITTED] 46 [GLARING OMISSION OF WHOLE VERSE] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where " 'the worms [INSTEAD OF THEIR WORM] that eat them [ADDITION] do not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
The corresponding passage in the KJB is as follows: 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink [OMITTED] in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. [WHOLE VERSE OMITTED]
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. [WHOLE VERSE OMITTED] 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Did Jesus -- who is God -- have a good reason for repeating Himself over and over again in this dire warning to sinners? Absolutely. No one can describe the horrors of Hell. But Christ wanted all men to turn away from their evil ways and be saved. Hence this dire warning, which was corrupted gratuitously.
In any event the slightest attempt to tamper with the Word of God is forbidden by God. So even if one verse of Scripture had been removed, that would not have been acceptable to God and Christ. The fact is that hundreds of verse have been tampered with. Let's take one very critical passage (Mark 9:41-48) about the reality of eternal Hell. A doctrine that is mercilessly attacked by the cults.
I am quoting from the NIV which could not help but make itself look foolish by inserting the numbers for verses 44 and 46 and then blithely skipping to the next verses. The NIV, like all modern versions, is based upon the corrupted critical text. Therefore two important verses -- the words of Christ recorded for us -- have been expunged. But the translation itself is faulty.
[Mar 9:41-48 NIV] 41 Truly I tell you [TRANSPOSED], anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah [SUBSTITUED FOR CHRIST] will certainly not lose their [INSTEAD OF HIS] reward. 42 "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them [INSTEAD OF HIM] if a large millstone were hung around their [INSTEAD OF HIS] neck and they [INSTEAD OF HE] were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [NOT THE SAME AS NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED] 44 [GLARING OMISSION OF WHOLE VERSE] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [INTO THE FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED OMITTED] 46 [GLARING OMISSION OF WHOLE VERSE] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where " 'the worms [INSTEAD OF THEIR WORM] that eat them [ADDITION] do not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
