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

Pentecost πεντηκοστή - pentēkoste
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.

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.

manuscript found at Rome among the Jews in 1553
Used by
Jehovah’s witnesses
James Trim

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.

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 Isaac’s 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 don’t 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 Joseph’s 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.
