This work is a competent scholarly attempt to provide a transparently reasoned N.T. text drawing upon ancient sources - all of which show evidence of copyist mistakes and changes. When Nestle chooses, he makes his choice plain. Is it perfect? No, but no human effort is perfect. Is it competent? Very. Can it be improved? Yes, successive editions have further improved the critical apparatus and revised a few of the choices made. If you can't afford the latest edition, this is an acceptable alternative.

We are told in Mat. 18:20 that Jesus said, "...where two or three have met together in my name, I will be among them" [NEB]. What is very clear from these supposed reviews is that wherever two or three fundamentalists are found, a verbose controversy is in the making.

The simple fact is that the Nestle-Aland (a later edition of this work) is used by thousands of scholars and students around the world for the study of biblical history and N.T. theology. The reason why is simple. Nestle, and the later editions have clear, concise apparatus to identify the sources of the text, significant variants and language that is obscure. The fact that it is based on an examination of multiple ancient sources is it strength.

Those unwilling to accept the historical fact that we do not have pristine original texts underlying the N.T. have the option of choosing from among hundreds of variants, or may choose to fix upon the translation of their choice. If you want to give a review, of course you have that option, but must you use review space to argue ad nauseum and proselytise?

In contrast to the myths and the errant Greek manuscripts that Nestle used ( and persuaded others yearning for acceptance to use – see further below), The material and documentation of Gail Riplinger ;. who wrote about New Age Bible Versions and her Free videos ;. should be mandatory for all those who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ, and also for those who aspire to truth, or who are seeking accurate answers ; about the Bible, whether you agree with her or not.
Truth – real actual, outside-of-yourself, objective truth – God's Truth, has nothing to be afraid of. Some messages and facts are larger than the messenger, and this is true in Gail's case also. So if truth upsets you, or you are working for a spirit-guide, then fall back asleep, but only at your own risk. There are forces that DO NOT want you to WAKE UP. They do not want you to THINK. They do NOT want you to ASK QUESTIONS. You are involved in spiritual warfare, just by reading.

I will not tell you that Gail is perfect, but who is ? I would prefer a flawed human, who actually wants to do what is right, who tries to do gurnall ; what is right, and who is trying to catch up on history, manuscript studies ; paleography, study of ancient Greek ; or Hebrew ; ... I would prefer someone MAKE the attempt ; and fail, rather than be like most pew-warming FALSE christians;, millions of whom; are surely headed for a lake of fire, while telling themselves ; that that they are saved ; offering not the slightest proof nor demonstration of this, who have no conscience, no understanding of the Bible, no ability to know, learn or discern what is the theology of God, versus what are false theologies.

If you assert that you have the status of being regenerated or Christian, and you actually are NOT (a Christian in the eyes and evaluation of God, who actually does know your spiritual state) , then the assertion does NOT make you a Christian ;. It simply means that your claims to be a christian are part of your own self-deception ;. The New Testament refers to those hundreds of millions of people as being part of the great falling away. Be sure you know who you are trusting ;

The old debates used to be about Christianity ; versus other religions. Now the issue is about What KIND of Christianity one has. And there is now MUCH more occultism ;, [ spiritism ; = demon possession] far more plain [[ demonic material, (SRA)]]; and much more FALSE miracles – You-Tube ;. [[ FALSE signs and wonders ]]; and many people who are simply possessed who are now simply part of their so-called [[ counterfeit local ]]; congregations. They are also among those who will take a mark on their right hand or forehead soon enough, and they will also believe the soon arriving false Messiah ; who rules from ;. Rome ; from Babylon ; . (Layard);. or Jerusalem ;. and whose plan involves getting through the time of Jacob's Trouble ;, (which is projected to be around seven years ;.). True Christians already know, as soon as you try to do what is right, as soon as you try to actually have a ministry, and especially if you are critical of other ;. ministries ;which are false ; or antiscriptural, ;, (Bickle, etc) you can be sure that spiritual forces will be evident in your life to begin resisting what you are doing, to s l o w you down and to stop your work, your ministry, your efforts and any results you might have hoped for.


This is why we are told to contend EARNESTLY ; for the true faith. Gail is not That rare truth-teller C Cumbey ;, nor as controversial as another Christian, Kay Griggs ;. (who tells the truth about leaders that Christians should have the courage to hear), nor quite as focused in her approach as the reliable historian Richard ;. Bennett ;. However the forces that Gail describes are real, their falsehoods are revealed here ;. also ;, for example, the work of the apostate false translator Kittel ;. ( Who admitted that he rejected the Old Testament, the claims of Jesus, and therefore the New Testament also ) ;.

So it is no wonder that wherever truth ; has actually managed to survive, there are many forces attempting to distract ;. and prevent people from even watching ;, or learning, so they can make up their own mind, for themselves. There are good teachers here, and the material ; that is contained ; in her ;. book ; about New Age versions remains accurate. Westcott and Hort despised Christians, and especially evangelicals. That reality seems to false evangelical leaders ; [ including Seminary professors ; and many Pastors ; ( false shepherds ; ) ] to use Westcott-Hort ;material , sources, and books (including false ancient greek texts) but only if the congregations are not informed of the the sources ;. of the material.

Is it possible that It is up to you, personally and individually, to consciously know what you believe spiritually, and know and find out for a fact what is true spiritually, and what is not true ? Yes, so If you get that part of your understanding of the Universe wrong;, you alone will pay the consequences;. This is WHY people who care about you tell you, and ask you, and recommend to you, that you read the Bible, often starting in the New Testament with the Gospel of John ( which is often a good place to start). If anyone told you not to worry about genuine spiritual accuracy, if a priest or pastor told you that you do not have to worry about it, then you were lied to ;– at that very moment. Now you and your eternity (and where you will spend it) hangs in the balance.

You are entirely 100% totally liable for every decision you make about whether to find God or reject Him, and whether to seek truth or not. A decision to ignore the data will simply be a definitely wrong decision. God knows you read these words, and He reads your heart, your mind and your thoughts. Chose what you want, but know that that you will have the consequences of your choice. Freedom of choice, means that YOU get the freedom to chose, your eternal destiny, and how to alter that destiny, if you chose. Freedom of choice means you chose and then you are also collecting the consequences of your choice. So chose wisely.

I cannot specifically speak to Gail's later material, but as for the 4 videos about versions of the Old and New Testaments, they are on track. Those videos (mp4) need to be watched by anyone in ministry, and anyone seeking truth. Certainly it is SAD that most pastors are too afraid, too gutless, too many cowards for most of them to personally study or deal with theses issues.

I guess for them, Jesus told them to go out into the world and preach the gospel, UNLESS ---> it was controversial, unless ---> they had to take a risk, unless ---> they valued their paycheck more than Jesus, unless ---> they might upset their main financial church contributor [isn't that idolatry, placing that individual ABOVE Jesus Christ, as the ruler of THAT local church ??? Chosing between Jesus or Mamon (love of money), is the choice that hard, really ? if you are truly a real and authentic Christian ??? ]

Many pastors and even youth leaders are uncomfortable reading this right now, because they know this is true, and many of them are recognizing the truth about their Seniour Pastors. You are being led by those who are VERY willing to lead you astray ;, by departing from the New Testament. There is a subtle seduction by which the junior leadership ; in churches are both pressured and seduced into SILENCE, so that Pastors are NOT confronted Biblically, which they should be by other leaders in the church, and so the entire church is compromised, first by the Senior leadership, but then further by the OTHER leaders (even Laymen leaders) who refuse to stand for truth, and are willing to put their own congregation in the way of HARM, in many ways and on many levels. To act in that manner is a betrayal of their office and a further betrayal of Jesus Christ. And for many, You KNOW this applies to You and your choices. You know who you are ;.

Do yourself and your spiritual future a favor: REVERSE your stand, get some guts, repent ;
of your own betrayal of Jesus through compromised leadership, compromised leadership ; and START doing the right thing, by confronting FALSE and wrong leaders in the church and congregations you are. Jesus rocked the boat, every day that he woke up and taught TRUTH and commitment to God.

When Pastoring becomes about the money, and when Seminaries professors are paid high salaries, given tenure, comfort and status, they seem to STOP caring ; about the spiritual wellbeing of those they are supposed to be helping ;. And that seems to happen real fast, (and even faster in official or state sponsored or state funded churches or denominations).

Yes, the road to hell, paved with good intentions ;, and full of pretty sights, sounds, and counterfeit ;. signs and wonders ; apparently runs through the doors and sanctuary of many churches, as Gail and her material has demonstrated and documented. Now if you feel comfortable, enough to ignore BOTH the information, and the steps needed to inform yourself, then I guess you have just declared where your allegiance is, and is not. Don't worry, Free drugs, Free demons ;. and a little mark needed to buy and sell ;. will be actually really here shortly to minister to your short term needs. Let those who think that modern versions are authentic, deal with the actual questions raised, and then test themselves against the results. Those who truly believe that they have the truth have nothing to fear. On the other hand, being deceived, and having mistakenly chosen (consciously or not) to believe falsehoods ; by your seminary-trained Pastors ;,THAT may have an impact on your eternal understanding, reaching far beyond your current perception. Some people wanted God to take His hands and control off the planet. He should no longer interfere, but let humans show ;that they can actually run and direct the planet ;, without God ;. Very soon, that ; will be the reality.

He is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep, in order to gain that which he cannot lose. It is time to give up the old idols of professor-worship, and the comfort of official church salaries. Honor God instead of seeking your own material comfort, even under the guise of seeking pastorates. Don't compromise on truth-seeking just because you are longing to be recognized as a young leader. Take time to know God. Give Him a chance to show what He can do in your life. Study the lives of those who came before you. Time seems to be in short supply. Seek truth. Ask God to help you.

Care to do serious study and ask hard questions ??

For those who are interested in spiritual depth and personal spiritual growth, a few other books may be of real help to you. [ Free in all formats, including PDF and Kindle]

For the issues of Today’s church, a few works about the Modern dangers of some of the excesses found in many the Charismatic or other groups may inform you about the origins, the roots, the theology and the implications of some of these new streams of spirituality, such as:

[ Anointing - or Apostasy ? The Latter Rain Legacy by Charles Graves].

[ Latter Rain (and other Branham inspired charismatic ) movement by Jewel van der Merwe) ].

[ A Planned Deception, the staging of a New Age Messiah) ].
(or see the Historic perspetive on who is the real Messiah)

[ Who is the Messiah proved from the Ancient Scriptures) ].

[ The Affiliation of New Evangelicals with Apostasy].

[ What is Apostasy by M de Semlyen].

[ A LITTLE HISTORY - [ Truth about ] The Shepherding Movement].

[ Problems with the Sacred Name movement ].


(( Please note that NOT ALL Charismatic or Pentecostal groups or churches are bad or teach errant doctrine. [some change or improve 4 the better].. However it is important to check on the details of where you worship, fellowship and learn, so that you can be sure that you are receiving sound doctrine (Titus 1:9 and not those in Tim 4: 3-4). ))



For the history of Biblical teachings, (also known as Doctrine), some of the works of George Stanley Faber (and others) may be of encouragement.

[ The difficulties of infidelity (1835) – GSF- George Stanley Faber ].

[ peculiarities of the Latin church evinced to be untenable – GSF ].

[ A practical treatise on the ordinary operations of the Holy Spirit (1814) – GSF ].

[ The new life in Christ Jesus ].



For those interested in the deeper background of the Old Testament scripture [ keep in mind that 40% to 60% of the New Testament is the Old Testament requoted]. Everything done in the New Testament is still being done in relation to the Old Testament. ( Note: Those who know almost nothing about the Old Testament section of the Bible would do well to start reading and re-reading both in the book of Psalms and the book of Proverbs).


[ A Treatise On The Origin Of Expiatory Sacrifice (1827) – GSF].
[ The Temple, its ministry and services as they were at the time of Jesus Christ].
[ The hope of Israel [microform] what is it (MAURO)].

--- concerning the Apocrypha --- (see also the section under versions, since the issue of versions [ which version of the OT – NT to use] also involves the issue of which books belong in the Bible [called Canonization]. Many books on versions therefore also deal with the issue of which books belong in the Bible, or which ones do not ).


The issues of the printing of the Apocrypha has been somewhat addressed in the following works:
For those interested in the issues concerning the Apocrypha (declared even by Jerome to not be part of scripture), the following books may give you some information and historic information:


[ Vindications (about BFBS) of the Proceedings of the Bible Society Concerning the Apocrypha].

=================

History of the Karaite [non-talmudic orthodox ] Jews (1870)

As the Karaites affirm: Nothing with them is authoritative which is not Divine. God only is to them the fountain of authority. They profess a willingness to submit to Him, and to submit at any cost. This is the normal principle of Karaism. They state that they pay unbounded reverence to the Written Law of God, contained in the Old Testament. They utterly reject what is called the Oral Law, and is now contained in the Talmud. This is an interesting contrast to what passes for traditional Orthodox Judaism, which is very different from simply following the Old testament. This is not what orthodox Judaism is these days.

Today it has degenerated mostly into occult talmudic Judaism with the constant study of the Talmudic occultism [ which seems to have a rather close resemblance to much material found in The Two Babylons by Hislop] . In the same way that those in Islam should compare the characteristics of Allah with those of Almighty God, those who are Othodox talmudic occultic Rabbis should be willing to compare their worship of their “First Cause” with the God of the Old Testament.

There are many resources. here. If you are deceived or led astray, it is only your fault and you are the one to blame. We are each responsiblefor. our own spiritual path, and the information and learning we chose to epose ourselves to, or deny or ignore or postpone. Like everything else, your spiritual connection and walk with God is what You make of it. The Bible is filled with information. [ not disclosed or talked about in Churches]..You have to read the New Testament for yourself. [ the Gospel of John is a good place to start, and remember to use a good, histori and accurate version. It is not what you “theoretically” want to do, or wish to do, that counts. If you are deceived spiritually, what difference will it make, that you “were going to study” or you were “ going to learn” ? Will you be... any less deceived, because you were going to [in the future] actually invest the time in yourself to learn ???

Take the time and learn n-o-w, while you can.

Do you remember the words of scripture :

II Timothy 2: 15 Study [ STUDY !!! ] to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly [RIGHTLY] dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.


II Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.


Its what you actually [ ACTUALLY !!! ] do, what you actually[ ACTUALLY !!! ] study. Stop waiting for others to help you, and start helping yourself. The day will soon come when none of this may be around, and then all you will have is what you know, in your head, in your own mind.

Pray for yourself that you will wake up from your coma, that you would have a love of God, a love of His true and authentic Word (Bible), a deep desire to study the Word, and that God would show you how to have the spiritual and personal inner strength for these times. Pray that you would not waste your time, but that you would value and do what God wants you to do and value., and that HE would help you find the answers you are looking for.


What people MUST believe about God, in order to find Him and why Faith in God is neccessary ------- Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

To restate the obvious:
YOU = “ he that cometh to God “
MUST BELIEVE:
1) that he is, [ That God exists] , and
2) that he is a rewarder of them that diligently [ DILIGENTLY !!! ] seek him.




Luke 21: 8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

II Thess 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness ... because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

( what did they receive not ? This means that there is something that certain ones chose not to receive. What is that ?? )

----

Example: what they often don’t talk about in church:

Titus 2: 1
2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Having just started to study New Testament Greek (Vine's - you can learn New Testament Greek) and being required to obtain Nestle's Greek Testament published by the British and Foreign Bible Society, I am very grateful to have found this book on line.

Mucha gente sabe sobre el periodo de tiempo de la Reforma, (la lucha por los derechos humanos y la democracia en los anos 1500 y 1600).

The 1602 Reina Valera version (original text) - You may be surprised to find out that the words of the modern versions of the Reina Valera have been changed. There seems to be much more to this than natural linguistic drift, or the standard changes that occur as language evolves. The question, when those changes are studied, is whether or not this was accomplished on purpose or not. There are some books and information about some intentional changes that were made to some of the modern versions in English, such as described in the work of [ Burgon] . ; [ More ] . ; [ Haldane] . ;.
or other accurate critics dealing with the original greek text such as Hoskier or Scrivener. But the choice of what spirituality a person decides upon is up to them. This includes the words chosen in the versions of the Holy Scriptures that they chose. Obviously, the results of that choice will be evident also. Many modern versions of Holy Scriptures have been found ambiguous and confusing. In anycase, now you can do the comparisons and the studies of words for yourself.

There is plenty of material available here on dealing with the Jehovah’s Witness perspective. The challenge however, is when the J.W.s simply pull out THEIR interlinear which – after all – simply uses the Nestle-Aland Greek Text, and then they read it as they do. [just do a search online on the 17 missing verses of the NIV, and how the NIV “coincidentally” matches up with the alterations in the J.W. version (the New World Translation). The Older Versions of the Jehovah Witness edition used Codex Sinaiticus, which explains a lot about how they went so far afield (among other things) ].

The problem would be solved if the Evangelicals would simply stick to their genuine historic New Testament in Koine Greek. Nestle was a student and co-worker with Tischendorf. Tischendorf was an opponent of the Reformation, Historic Christianity, and the Bible. ( Ever found any reference where Tischendorf ever claimed to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior ? Good luck ! )

Tischendorf is the one who claimed discovery for the rejected manuscript now called Codex Sinaiticus.
All praise to Tischendorf ??? All praise to Nestle ?

How does that verse go ?

Nestle is my shepherd, I shall not want. … (was that “too much” of a paraphrase ? it seemed like the dynamic equivalence of the attitude of too many Seminary Professors, and their errant Shepherds, found in abundance in the 27th book of the N.T.)

Nestle’s version cannot be questioned as he has found Vatican infallibility. Touch not the Lord’s anointed. Only…whose Lord ? Who appeareth as an Angel of Light ?


To an academic world seeking to reject the historic Bible, Tischendorf’s “discovery” put him at the top of the Academic ladder in the German universities which had been leading the assault on Christianity and the Old and New Testaments.

How many verse would YOU freely change, alter, erase, modify, insert or leave out ???

Upon finding Codex Sinaiticus, Tichendorf made more than Three Thousand Five Hundred - 3500 - changes to content of the Bible, his own collation of the Greek New Testament . Nestle used Both the work of Westcott and Hort, AND the work of Tischendorf [Codex Sinaiticus] in what is now the Nestle-Aland. This should be a surprise to no One. Nestle SAYS that he used the collations of Tischendorf, and Westcott and Hort, on PAGE ONE of this New Testament.

Others previously had suggested many problems with Vaticanus based manuscripts, such as:

The English Revisers' [Wescott - Hort] Greek Text: Shown to be Unauthorized, Except by [errant] Egyptian Copies Discarded

http://www.archive.org/details/TheEnglishReviserswescott-HortGreekTextShownToBeUnauthorized

This Nestle Edition is also the 1904 edition, which was the First one that the Bible Societies decided to use as a SUBSTITUTE for the historic Textus Receptus, that had kept Christians spiritually strong and equipped.

But we should not skip over the implication of Nestle’s work :

the Text of Nestle [Nestle-Aland] is a collation, an INVENTION of Nestle, that did not exist before he invented and published it. And it is different from the Historic ancient manuscripts of the Church in THOUSANDS of places.

So congratulations. Those who are using the work of Nestle are basing their relationship with God, [according to them] on a Greek Text that did not exist before the work of Westcott and Hort, except in the rejected Codex Vaticanus, which is known to have been changed and modified by at least TEN different copyists, in that very manuscript.

[oldest most complete Greek manuscript it was said, but NOT by ONE author, with much omitted and many books of the Apocrypha included] .

The Work of the BFBS concerning its dealings with the Apocrypha was previously addressed in Statement of the Bible Society concerning the Apocrypha, at

http://www.archive.org/details/StatementOfTheBibleSocietyConcerningTheApocrypha

Westcott and Hort used Codex Vaticanus as the basis for their translation, and Tischendorf used Codex Sinaiticus [and Nestle used BOTH]. But the further problem is that Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus contradict EACH OTHER, also in thousands of places. So Nestle just made up his own version, when he wanted to.

The Historic Greek Text [Textus Receptus] can be found in the copy (for example) of Scrivener [1860] at
http://www.archive.org/details/TextusReceptusscrivener1860


Or in the Koine Greek New Testament [also Textus Receptus] published by Cura Wilson at

That statement - about the contradictions between Sinaiticus and Vaticanus needs documentation. It cannot simply be a statement without support. The data about the contradictions between Sinaiticus and Vaticanus
[which are in almost every line of both manuscripts ] can be found in the 2 Volume work by Professor Hoskier [U of Mich], in his “Codex B and its Allies”, which is also available online.

Those seeking a 1602 Spanish version that is accurate may find it here.
http://www.archive.org/details/ReinaValera-1602

The original Spanish Reina Valera also very very different from the popularized [falsely titled] modern Reina Valera of 1960, which bears very little resemblance in content with the historic 1602 version.

Those familiar with the work of Burgon [Oxford] refuting the poor work of Westcott and Hort will find that in his more advanced work the Revision Revised, which is available at

http://www.archive.org/details/a549037300burguoft

Those not familiar with Burgon may wish to start with his more introductory

The traditional text of the Holy Gospels vindicated and established, at:
http://www.archive.org/details/traditionaltexto00burgrich

There is plenty more material dealing with these questions. But this should at least provide some information to those seeking to go a bit further. Don’t expect your seminary professors to back your inquiry. They obtained their job on the basis of their adherence to the Nestle-Aland. To do otherwise would endanger reputation, funding, scholarship, endowments, and publishing contracts. The world and the conditions that the past translators labored under, without glory, funds, or tenure, is very far removed from the comfortable ivory tower of those who will lead many to fall theologically asleep.

I would like that the people try to find out by themself on greek original texts, to rebuke false knodledge, as jehova's witnesess doctrine.
