The Original New Testament

Reacting to a BBC TV documentary about changes to the New Testament, David Instone-Brewer said it was misleading for the BBC to suggest these changes were deliberately introduced into the New Testament for theological reasons, rather it was a "desire to record differences in manuscripts so that the original can be preserved". What is Instone-Brewer trying to say? He is not thinking clearly. There is no original of the New Testament ...is there?

Errors in the Holy Scriptures?

How could a scribe forget a complete verse in the Lord's Prayer? In fact, the last verse is missing from the Gospel of Luke in both the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus. So that's two scribes making exactly the same mistake in two completely different manuscripts. It's very unlikely!!! What's more, the last verse is missing from the Gospel of Matthew as well, in both Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.

Lord's Prayer Doxology Missing

The ending of the Lord's Prayer, the doxology, is missing from older New Testament manuscripts. Most Christians will be familiar with this last verse: "For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever, Amen". But in the Codex Sinaiticus it's missing from the Gospel of Luke. Can this be just a careless mistake? Some say it's because the Codex Sinaiticus is unreliable and full of errors.

Scriptures Shamelessly Altered

In Lost Worlds we read that "...councils, popes and Christian sovereigns shamelessly altered the Holy Scriptures...". There were literally thousands of changes. "...Why all those alterations? It was quite simple: since most dogmas were inconsistent with the holy books, the holy books had to be made consistent with the dogmas!" - Quote from Lost Worlds, Robert Charroux, Fontana UK 1974
