Ephesians 3:14 "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ". RV and RSV "I bow my knees unto the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named". JB "This, then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name ". NIV "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name". Once again we see the overriding desire of the modern translators to eliminate reference to the Sonship of Christ - even the Roman Jerusalem Bible, though the Douay got it right! Hebrews 1:2 "[God], Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;" RV Note "hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in a Son ... through whom also He made the ages ". RSV "He has spoken to us by a Son through whom He created the world". Notice how Gnosticism comes through in the revised versions. Paul's declaration of Christ's divine Sonship is missing, while the RV presents Christ as the creator of something intangible. Group 3. Attacks on the Virgin Birth Isaiah 7:14 has been cited in the section dealing with Messianic passages of Scripture and it is also applicable here. Now look at some attacks in the New Testament. Predicably, we should not expect the Douay Version to join in these attacks, yet, in keeping with Vatican II Council, Rome's interconfessional plans are evident in her Jerusalem Bible. Matthew 1:25 "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS". son". RV "and knew her not till she had brought forth a son ". RSV "But knew her not until she had borne a son ". JB "and, though he had not had intercourse with her, she gave birth to a NIV "But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son ". As a virgin, Mary's child must of necessity be a first-born, and the KJV and the Douay make this point. But the best the revisionists can do is to indicate that Joseph was not the father, thus leaving the possibility that some other man might have been the boy's father! Notice the emerging pattern of resemblance between the post-Vatican II Bibles - JB and NIV. 6
him". Luke 2:33 "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of We note how the King James Version translators were careful to avoid naming Joseph as Jesus' father. Not so the following versions. Douay "And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him". It would appear that Rome has here made a surprising mistake. It is explained by B.G. Wilkinson who says: "In preparing the Latin Bible, Jerome would gladly have gone all the way in transmitting to us the corruptions in the text of Eusebius, but he did not dare" ("Our Authorised Version Vindicated", p 48). But in this case, Jerome must have been determined to support Origen and his Gnosticism, for Wilkinson cites "Jerome against Helvidius" to say that Helvidius accused Jerome of translating Luke 2:33 from corrupt Greek manuscripts (ibid p 48). RV and RSV "And his father and mother". JB "As the child's father and mother stood there wondering at the things that were being said about him ". NIV "The child's father and mother marvelled". John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". RSV "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son... " The omission of the term: "begotten" is entirely consistent with the Gnostic philosophy of the RSV revisers who shunned the supernatural. "Only begotten" comes from two Greek words meaning "alone" and "I am born", thus signifying Christ's lack of an earthly father. That the omission is deliberate, there can be no doubt, as witness John 1:14,18; John 3:18 and 1 John 4:9. JB "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son". NIV "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son ". Again, we see the Jerusalem Bible and the NIV pairing up, except that a note in the NIV admits the omission: "Or God's only begotten Son ". Group 4. Against Christ's Incarnation and True Humanity Acts 2:30 "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God hath sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne" Here we have Peter reminding the believers that Christ's incarnation through the flesh (of David's line) had been both promised and fulfilled (2 Samuel 7:12-16). In 1 John 4:3 God has warned that: "every spirit that confesseth not that Christ is come in the flesh is not of God". Notice how the following versions fail to identify the "One" who came in the flesh as Christ. 7
