Only the Douay agrees with the KJV by referring to the fulfilment of Messianic prophecy. Mark 15:28 "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors". RV and RSV This verse is omitted but recorded in a note. JB and NIV The entire verse is omitted. Group 2. Attacks on Christ's Divinity, His Eternal Pre-Existence and His Creatorship. Daniel 3:25 "Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God". RV "and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods". RSV "and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods ". JB and NIV "and the fourth looks like a son of the gods". The translators of the KJV and the Douay reflect the early Christian view that the fourth person was the second person of the Godhead. In doing so, they are acknowledging Christ's preexistence. The above four versions which fail to make this point ignore the context where Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the superiority of Israel's God (Daniel 3:26-29; 4:2). They are in line with Origenism. Micah 5:2 "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting". RV Note "whose goings forth are from of old, or from ancient days ". RSV "whose origin is from of old, from ancient days ". JB "His origin goes back to the distant past, to the days of old ". NIV "whose origins are from of old, from ancient times". It will be noted that there is an eternity of difference between the terms: 'from everlasting" and from: "ancient of days" or "times ". Again, the progression of error from the note in the RV to the later versions is obvious. Christ's everlasting coexistence in the Godhead is denigrated. Matthew 27:54 "Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God" RV Note and RSV "Truly this was a son of God". JB "In truth, this was a son of God". 4
"A son of God" does not equate with "the Son of God". All believing Christians may become sons of God: "Beloved now are we the sons of God" (1 John 3:2). God". NIV Note "a Son of God". John 6.69 "And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living RV "Thou art the Holy One of God". RSV, JB and NIV "You are the Holy One of God". The translators of these four versions all avoid Peter's declaration that Jesus is "that Christ", the Son of the living God. The term "Christ" or "anointed one" is synonymous with the Hebrew "Messiah". Neither translation makes the sense specific (or plainer as most publishers of modern versions claim) because such titles as the "Holy One of God" have been bestowed upon a variety of religious leaders, such as gurus, lamas, mullahs and popes. God". Acts 8:37 "And he [Philip] answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of RV This verse is missing, but a note tells us that some ancient authorities "insert" verse 27. RSV, JB and NIV All omit verse 27. Note that this important declaration on the divinity of Christ in the KJV is upheld by Rome in the Douay but not in her later Jerusalem Bible. Ephesians 3:9 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". Douay "And to enlighten all men that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things". We have noticed the inclination on the part of Rome to uphold the divinity of Christ in the Douay version. However, this admirable trait is subservient to the opportunity of appearing to support dogma - in this case, the priestly dispensing of the Mass and the "re-creation" of Christ in the form of a wafer. RV "hath been hid in God who created all things". RSV "hidden for ages in God, who created all things". JB "but also of explaining how the mystery is to be dispensed. Trough all the ages, this has been kept hidden in God, the creator of everything". NIV "was kept hidden in God, who created all things". None of the five versions attributes creatorship to Jesus Christ. If Christ is not the Creator, how can He be expected to create new hearts within us? 5
