Douay "that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne ". RV "that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne ". RSV "he would set one of his descendants upon his throne ". JB "to make one of his descendants succeed him on the throne ". NIV "he would place one of his descendants upon his throne ". 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory". Douay "great is the mystery of Godliness, which was manifest in the flesh, was justified in the spirit... ". RV "He who was manifested in the flesh... ". RSV "Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh... ". JB "Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is very deep indeed. He was made visible in the flesh... ". NIV "He appeared in a body... ". All five versions fail to identify who or what appeared in the flesh. The NIV demolishes the doctrine of the incarnation by saying: "He appeared in a body ". We may well ask, who appeared in a body? Don't we all! But how many gods have been "manifest in the flesh"? Hebrews 2:16 "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham". It will be noted in the KJV that the words: "him the nature" have been supplied, indicating a problem with the Greek text. But whereas this translation makes sense within the context of verse seventeen, which outlines the credentials of a high priest, other translators have succeeded in making it meaningless. Douay "For nowhere doth he take hold of the angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold". RV "For verily not of angels doth he take hold, but he taketh hold of the seed of Abraham ". RSV "For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham ". NIV "For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants ". Notice the progressive degeneration of the text. 1 John 4:3 "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now is already in the world". Douay "And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God". 8
Here we have further evidence of Rome tampering with Holy Scripture - in this case, a senseless rendition designed to avoid evidence that could implicate her as the antichrist. Bishop Simpson in his "Yale Lectures on Preaching", says: "The Romanists have been trying to get the human nature of Christ as far away from our humanity as possible and hence have taught the Immaculate Conception of Mary ". With such teaching, Christ could not have inherited any sinful tendencies from Mary and hence did not come in the flesh of fallen humanity. RV "and every spirit which confesseth not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist". RSV "and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This spirit is of the antichrist ". NIV "but every spirit which does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. this is the spirit of antichrist". Not one of these four renditions confess that "Jesus is come in the flesh". Group 5. Attacks on the Gospel - Salvation Matthew 9:13 "I will have mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance". Here, Christ enunciates a basic pre-requisite to salvation - first an acknowledgment of our sinful state, and then a repentance that turns us away from sin. This process of repentance does not seem to be understood by Rome. Douay "For I am not come to call the just, but sinners". RV and RSV "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners". JB "I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners ". NIV "I came not to call the righteous but sinners ". Not one of these renditions speak of repentance. Matthew 18:3 "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven". RV "Except ye turn, and become as little children ". RSV "Except you turn and become like children". JB "Except you change and become like little children ". NIV "Unless you change and become like little children ". "Conversion" holds not only the thought of turning about, forsaking a present course, but has religious and spiritual connotations which these versions all choose to ignore. Matthew 18:11 "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost". RV, RSV, JB and NIV The whole verse is missing because Westcott and Hort rejected it, but the Douay having preceded them got it right. 9
