שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.

Today is April 29, 2023

 

April -- Aphrodite's month

Old English April(is)
Latin 
Aprilis
Etruscan 
Apru
Greek 
Aphro, short for Aphrodite.

Aprilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus.

 

The God of Israel has His own Calendar: Zif, which is the second month, day 8

Coming Feast of Weeks: a Sabbath - May 28, 2023

Feast of Weeks, Sunday a Sabbath - Hag Sh'vu-ot -  חַג שָׁבֻעֹת

Feast of Harvest Hag ha katseer -   חַג הַקָּצִיר

Pentecost πεντηκοστή - pentkoste

 

Our seven week journey we observe, in memorial to meet God again on Mt. Sinai to receive the commandments and receive the Spirit of God.

From slaves in Egypt, (our last lives of sin) to the people of God and the the giving of the Law, (10 commandments) and the giving of the Holy Spirit.

 

We were told to count "Sabbaths" not omers.

An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley - עמר omer - A dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)

 

Lev.23 [15] And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete:

[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.

 

This Sabbath is the third Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to count.

 

Today’s Topic:

 

Some tell-tale signs of Bible version whether these are corrupt or not

 

 

All this info from the net, let’s read:

 

A few verses to look at if it is from a false manuscript:

Isa 7:14 Therefore Yehovah himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 

Isa 14:12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 

2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Messiah. 

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 

 

Always read the preface of bible versions and look out for:

 

All versions are corrupt except the KJV in English

People that say they have a Authentic Hebrew New Testaments which have never been found, they spoke Greek

The Codex Vaticanus (The Vatican 1209), (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Is a fourth-century Christian manuscript of a Greek Bible, containing the majority of the Greek Old Testament and the majority of the Greek New Testament.

It is one of the corrupt uncial codices along with - the Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Sinaiticus.

LXX – Septuagints = may versions today

Books of Enoch, Jasher and other books we don’t have today 2023

Dead Sea Scrolls Bible

THE APOCRYPHA - Catholic

Kittle's Lexicon of New Testament 

The Biblia Hebraica, also known as the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia

the Greek text of Westcott and Hort, and the 23rd edition of the Nestle Greek New Testament as well as the best Hebrew and Greek lexicons 

The New Testament in the Original Greek is a Greek-language version of the New Testament published in 1881. It is also known as the Westcott and Hort text, after its editors Brooke Foss Westcott (1825–1901) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828–1892).

 

Corrupt Versions from "the work" of Rudolph & Gerhard Kitte

The Old Latin Vulgate must not be confused with Jerome's Vulgate, which was produced over 220 years later in AD 380.

 

Jerome's Vulgate (also written in Latin for the Roman Church) was rejected by the early Christians for almost a millennium.

 

The Old Testament Hebrew lexicon is Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius Lexicon; this is keyed to the "Theological Word Book of the Old Testament."

 

Works by:

Carlo Martini, Eugene Nida, Kurt Aland, and Bruce Metzger

Jesuit cardinal Carlo Maria Martini (1927- ) is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Milan.

 

Eugene Nida (1914- ) is the father of the blasphemous dynamic equivalency theory of Bible translation.

 

BRUCE METZGER

Another of the editors of the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament is Bruce Manning Metzger (1914- ). Metzger is George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, Princeton Theological Seminary, and he serves on the board of the American Bible Society.

Metzger is the head of the continuing RSV translation committee of the apostate National Council of Churches in the U.S.A. The Revised Standard Version was soundly condemned for its modernism when it first appeared in 1952.

 

KURT ALAND (1915- ) has served as coeditor of the Nestle-Aland Greek text since the 1940s. His wife, Barbara, is director of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research, Munster, Westphalia, Germany. As most Bible critics, Aland rejects verbal inspiration.

The Aleppo Codex, against which the Leningrad Codex was corrected, was the first such manuscript and is several decades older, but parts of it have been missing since 1947, making the Leningrad Codex the oldest complete codex of the Tiberian mesorah that has survived intact to this day.

In modern times, the Leningrad Codex is most important as the Hebrew text reproduced in Biblia Hebraica (1937) and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (1977).

 

It also serves scholars as a primary source for the recovery of details in the missing parts of the Aleppo Codex.

 

The corrupt Ben Asher Hebrew text for the Tanakh

Again: This is the wrong Latin Version

The Old Latin Vulgate must not be confused with Jerome's Vulgate, which was produced over 220 years later in AD 380.

Jerome's Vulgate (also written in Latin for the Roman Church) was rejected by the early Christians for almost a millennium.

HEBREW MATTHEW - Shem Tob - du Tillet - Munster

Shem Tob ben Shaprut of Tudela Castle - Spain

1385 - 14th Century

Wrote a polemical work against Christianity entitled Eben Bohan (The Touchstone)

Matthew is a separate chapter of Eben Bohan

A cursive manuscript of Eben Bohan can be found at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America - New York (212)678-8081

 

du Tillet

Jean du Tillet - Catholic Bishop of Brieux France

From a manuscript found at Rome among the Jews in 1553

Used by Jehovah’s witnesses

James Trim translated du Tillet

 

Munster

Sebastian Munster

1537 confiscated from the Jews

Some think Munster and du Tillet to be from the same source

Munster filled in missing portions and made no notes as to which parts he added.

 

Shem Tob and du Tillet are different texts. They do not always agree.

Munster disagrees with Shem Tob. They do not always agree

Jerome speaks of a Hebrew Matthew among the Nazarenes in Jordan who fled Jerusalem. Jerome quotes that text and Professor George Howard who translated Shem Tob says that Jeromes quotes do not match Shem Tob.

Epiphanius qoutes Ebionite Hebrew Matthew. His quotes do not match Shem Tob.

 

The tetragrammaton does not appear in Shem Tob or in du Tillet.

In Shem Tob it is written as Heh or Heh and two Yods signifying Ha Shem or The Name.

In du Tillet it is written as three Yods.

 

Books mentioned in the Scriptures, we don't have today

 

Num.21 [14] Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

 

Josh.10 [13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

 

2Sam.1 [18] (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

1Kgs.11 [41] And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

 

1Chr.29 [29] Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

 

2Chr.9 [29] Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat ?

 

2Chr.12 [15] Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

 

2Chr.20 [34] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

 

Ezra.4 [15] That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

 

Jude.1 [14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying , Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

(it never says a book of Enoch)

 

 

Here are some contradictions in the so-called book of Jasher check it out:

Jasher 13:5 says that Abram went to the land of Canaan at the age of 50 then back to Haran and back to Canaan at age 75, Genesis 12:4 states that Abram was 75 when he departed Haran.

Jasher 18:9 states that one of the angels tells Abraham that Sarah will have a son, but Gen. 17:16 says that God told Abraham.

Jasher 22:44-45 says the Lord got the idea of presenting Isaac as an offering from Isaacs boast to Ishmael. We know, of course, that God is sovereign and as it says in Gen. 22:1-2 & 12 that the Lord was testing Abraham.

Genesis 28:5 states that Isaac sent Jacob to Padan-aram unto Laban but Jasher 29:11 says that he fled to the house of Eber and hid there for 14 years.

Jasher 47:9 says Isaac dies, according to the chronology of Jasher, Joseph was in Egypt but in Gen. 35:29 Isaac died before Joseph had his dreams.

Simeon could not be bound in Jasher 51:37 but in Genesis. 42:24 Simeon is bound before their eyes.

Jasher 51:26-32 -- The brothers tell Joseph (whom they dont recognize) that they are looking for their brother (him). Genesis 42:6-14.

Jahser 78:12-13 -- Pharaoh proclaims no more straw but same amount of bricks (before Moses goes to Pharaoh.) Exodus 5:1,7-8 says it happened after Moses confronts Pharaoh.

Jasher 80:1 "and at the end of two years the Lord sent Moses to Pharaoh" while Exodus 7:14-15 says, "The Lord said unto Moses get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning.

Jasher 80:2-51 lists these Plagues;

1. Waters into blood (v. 3) / Exodus 7:20

2. Frogs (v. 6) / Exodus 8:6

3. Lice (v. 10) / Exodus 8:17

4. The Lord sent all kinds of beasts into Egypt and destroyed all Egypt ( v.13) / Not in Exodus

5. Fiery serpents, scorpions, mice, weazles, toads (v. 14) / Not in Exodus

6. Flies, hornets, fleas, bugs, gnats (v. 15) / Exodus 8:24

7. All reptiles and winged animals came and grieved the Egyptians (v.16) / Not in Exodus

8. God ordered the Sulanuth from the sea, she had long arms, 10 cubits in length and she went upon the roofs and uncovered the raftering and flooring and stretched forth her arm and removed locks and bolts and opened the houses of Egypt. (v. 19-21) / Not in Exodus

9. Pestilence (v.24) / Exodus 9:3

10. Burning inflammation (v. 27) / Not in Exodus

11. Boils (v. 28) / Exodus 9:10

12. Hail and fire (v. 30-31) / Exodus 9:23

13. Locusts (v. 33) / Exodus 10:13

14. Darkness (v.36) / Exodus 10:22

15. First born killed (v. 43) / Exodus 12:29

 

The Author's Imagination?

Jasher 7:24-30; This passage says the skins that God made for Adam and his wife went to Enoch after their death, then to Methuselah, then to Noah, then Ham stole them and gave them to Cush. They were then passed to Nimrod who became strong when he put on the "magic" garments. Jasher 27:1-11 says that Esau kills Nimrod and takes Adams skins.

Jasher 36:30-35 -- 120 terrible animals from the wilderness came to the asses of Anan. Their shape was from the middle downward of the children of man, and from their middle upward some the likeness of bears, some keephas with tails behind them from between their shoulders reaching down to earth.

Jasher 61:15 -- Zepho kills beast, half man and half animal, "from the middle upward it resembled a man, and from the middle downward it resembled an animal."

Jasher 67:8-52 -- Balaam, Job, and Reuel in Egypt at the same time. Reuel takes Josephs stick and returns to Midian.

Jasher 70:1-33 -- At age 3 Moses puts Pharaoh's crown on his head.

Jasher 73 -- King Moses of Cush raises storks to devour serpents that guard city.

Jasher 77:26-51-- Moses beholds the sapphire stick (67:41) in the garden of Reuel with the name of Lord God on stick. (Adam took stick from Eden then it came to Noah, then to Shem, then to Abraham to Isaac, Jacob took it then in Egypt and he gave it to Joseph. After Joseph died Reuel took it and planted it.)

 

It is obvious that "The Book Of Jasher" is certainly not inspired.

More on the Book of Jasher:

Chapter IV:18

And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force (rape) from their husbands according to their choice,

And the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, In order to provoke the Lord.

 

SCRIPTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SHEM TOB AND THE GREEK MAJORITY TEXTS AS REPRESENTED IN THE ENGLISH KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE

 

Never identifies Yeshua / Jesus as Messiah.

Mat 1:1 "the generation of Jesus Christ"

Shem Tob "the generations of Jesus ( )"

-----------

Never identifies Jesus as Messiah.

Mat 1:18 "now the birth of Jesus Christ"

Shem Tob "birth of Jesus ( )"

-----------

The fact that Yeshua / Jesus "shall save His people" omitted

Mat 1:21 "thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins"

Shem Tob "he shall save my people from their sins"

-----------

Non-Biblical - Rabbinical reference

Mat 4:9 "all these things will I give if thou wilt fall down and worship me"

Shem Tob "if you bare your head to me"

-----------

Jewish sages given equal status with Yeshua / Jesus

Mat 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

"Preaching with great power not as the rest of the sages."

-----------

Reference to the coming kingdom removed

Mat 6:10 "Thy kingdom come"

Shem Tob "may your kingdom be blessed"

-----------

Forgiveness of sin by Yeshua / Jesus removed

Mat 9:2 "thy sins be forgiven thee"

Shem Tob "It is by the faith of God that your sins have been forgiven"

-----------

The gospel set aside

Mat 11:5 "the poor have the gospel preached to them"

Shem Tob "the poor are aquited"

-----------

Elevation of John the Baptist over Yeshua / Jesus

Mat 11:11 - 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law spoke concerning John" as opposed "prophesied until John".

Mat 21:32 "Because John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him."

In Shem Tob - addressed to the disciples instead of the chief priests and elders.

Quoting Professor George Howard, translator of Shem Tob:

In summary, this series of readings asserts that none is greater than John, the prophets and the law spoke concerning John, John (Elijah) is to save all the world, and Jesus’ own disciples are disgraced for not having believed John. In traditional Christianity such a description is usually applied to Jesus. Its application to John the Baptist in Shem Tobs Hebrew, elevates the Baptist to a salvific (salvation) role.

-----------

The temple greater than Yeshua / Jesus

Mat 12:6 "But I say unto you, in this place is one greater than the temple"

Shem Tob "the temple is greater than this"

-----------

Mat 13:11 "it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given"

Shem Tob "to know the kingdom of heaven"

-----------

Man sows seed instead of the son of man:

Mat 13:37 "He that soweth the good seed is the son of man"

Shem tob "the one who sows good seed is man"

-----------

Possible Talmudic influence - Toldoth Yeshu?

Mat 13:55 "Is this not the carpenters son? Is not his mother called Mary?"

"Is this not the son of the smith and Mary?"

-----------

*** James is left out as brother of Jesus in the Shem Tob - Possible elevation of James

Mat 14:6 In Shem Tob Herods daughter danced - not Herodias’ daughter - Qumran scrolls condemn niece marriage - Jewish leaders of the time practiced it.

-----------

Possible Talmudic Influence: Doctrine of the Pharisees unquestioned

Mat 16:12 Told to beware the doctrine of the Pharisees..."

Shem Tob "beware of the behavior of the Pharisees..."

-----------

Salvation by Elijah rather than Yeshua / Jesus

Mat 17:11 "Elijah shall truly shall first come and restore all things"

Shem Tob "Elijah will come and save all the world"

-----------

Salvation by way of "The Son of man" deleted

Mat 18:11 "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost"

Shem Tob "the son of man has stopped saving the enemy"

-----------

Possible Talmudic Implications:

Mat 18:18 "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"

Shem Tob applies this scripture to being bound or loosed from oaths taken - Day of Atonement - Col Nidre Prayer - implications ????

Shem Tob "every oath which you shall bind on earth is bound in heaven and every oath which you shall loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

-----------

Worldly material wealth rather than heavenly treasure

Mat 19:22 "Went away sorrowful for he had great possessions"

Shem Tob "went away angry because he did not have much property"

-----------

Mat 19:28

"When the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory"

"when man sits upon the throne of his glory"

-----------

Mat 20:30

"When they heard the Jesus passed by"

"the prophet Jesus from Nazareth is coming"

-----------

The preaching of the gospel as a witness concerning Yeshua / Jesus "is the Anti-Christ and this is the abomination which desolates.

Mat 24:14-16 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains."

Shem Tob "And this gospel, that is, evungili, will be preached un all the earth for a witness concerning me to all the nations and then the end will come. This is the Anti-Christ and this is the abomination which desolates. Then those who are in Judaea let them flee to the mountains."

-----------

"Son of man" replaced by "the bridegroom."

Mat 25:13 ...day not the hour wherein the Son of man cometh"

Shem Tob "...day nor hour when the bridegroom comes."

 

 

In closing for today:

 

This is just some of the corruption that is out there today

Prove all things as Saul / Paul puts it:

1Thes.5 [21] Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
