Greetings Group! Here is the NEXT Lesson, taken from Dr. Ken Matto.
TITLE:
The Characteristics of Vaticanus and Sinaiticus: PART ONE
INTRODUCTION:
When I was bringing you verses each week (Dr. Matto) which are mutilated in the MODERN VERSIONS, I mention two manuscripts on a regular basis. Those two manuscripts being the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. To better understand why rthese two manuscripts differ so much friom the TRUSTED Textus Recetus, I would like to descibe these manuscripts to you so you may see how CORRUPT they are which means they are absolutely UNRELIABLE, yet the "modern" scholar sees these two manuscripts as the crowning glory of manuscripts and they believe that God had preserved these manuscripts to give us a better Bible. When we look at the characteristics of these manuscripts, we will see IF God is the one who really endorses them or is it Satan's people who could better identify with them.
THE HISTORY:
"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievious wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." (Acts 20:29; KJV)
The Apostle Paul knew that Satan would waste no time in planting his False Prophets and Scholars in the Church. Paul's prophecy was right on target because no sooner was the Bible completed, Satan had already launched a campaign to destroy it by using intellectuals and Gnostics. The Apostle John has died about 100 AD and in the same year a man named Justin Martyr was born. Martyr combined Christianity with Greek Philosophy when he preached.
"Justin Martyr (d C 165 AD) was a Christian Apologist and Martyr. He was born around the turn of century in modern day Palestine. He claimed to have been raised a Gentile, and in his search for truth, he studied with the Stoics, Aristotelians, Pythagoreans, and Platonists. Impressed by the devotion of Christian martyrs, he was eventually converted to Christianity by an old Christian who taught him about the Hebrew prophets. According to Justin, Christianity filled the highest aspirations of Plantonic philosophy and was, therefore, the "true philosophy." During the reign of Antoninus Pius he taught in Rome, influencing Tatian and Irenaeus. He was one of the first to consistenly use Greek philosophy (especially Platonism) to explain Christian doctrine, thereby setting himself in dramtic opposition to Tertullian, who would ask "what does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?" The Logos (God immanent), he believed, was "other than" the Father (God transcendent) in number, but not in will. Three of his writings, The First Apology, The Second Aplogy, and The Dialogue with Trypho, the Jew exist in complete form, though there is some question about the precise relationship between the First and Second Apology. Justin, a centeral Figure in the history of second century Christian thought, suffered martyrdom early in the reign of Marcus Aurelius under Junius Rusticus (perfect 162-168 AD)-Elise M. Bender
A student of Justin Martyr was a man named Tatian. Tatian had recorded Justin Martyr's heresis and placed them in a Bible version called "The Diatesseron" about 150 AD. About this time some Chritian missionaries went from Antioch to Alexandria, Egypt where they wanted to reach the pagan philosophers. keep in mind that in the Bible Egypt represents the kingdom of Satan and the World. Although the Diatesseron had SOME Textus Receptus readings in it, it was considered to be CORRUPTED. In fact, a Syrian Bishop named Theodoret (397-457 AD) found 200 copies of it in his church and threw them out. Tatian had a student named Clement (NOT Clement of Rome) who founded the school at Alexandria, Egypt anround 200 AD.
