Thanks, I'll check this out. Yes, it's incredibly important to do your own research using different Bible sources along with comparing the Greek with the Hebrew translations. There's always little gems that are revealed to help understanding. The History of the Bible is a tortuous road, in which the enemy of Jesus Christ made several attempts at eliminating information or altering it. In this perpetual war we begin by knowing the original Hebrew Old Testament is lost. From the original Hebrew OT, the Greek Septuagint was created by 72 Israelite scholars in the 3rd century BC. The originals of these are now lost. Also, from the original Hebrew OT, a 1st century Hebrew OT was created. It was altered and corrupted by the Talmudic Jews. From this point forward there two main paths that the original Hebrew OT was preserved. The corrupted 1st century Hebrew OT was used to create the Masoretic Text in the 10th century AD. It is interesting to note that the Masoretes were Talmudic scribe-scholars who worked from around the end of the 5th through 10th centuries. The results of their work was the Masoretic Text, which with the help of Catholic Church was adopted into the Church body. The Masoretic is corrupt and altered as well. From the Greek Septuagint the original Greek New Testament was written. The originals of this are now lost as well. Also from the Greek Septuagint, came the Greek Papyri, which are the oldest manuscripts. Sourced from the Greek Septuagint and used by Christians during this time, the Greek Uncials were created. These are the oldest complete manuscripts. The writing of the Uncials were also used the Greek Papyri as an added source to verify its authenticity and accuracy. The Latin Vulgate used the original Greek NT and the corrupted 1st century Hebrew OT as sources. So, the Latin Vulgate is influenced by Talmudic Jews and approved by Catholic translators alike. From the Latin Vulgate and the Masoretic Text, the Early English translations were derived. Also, from the corrupted Masoretic Text comes the Textus Receptus, which was conformed to the Latin Vulgate, but also uses Later Greek Texts that include the minuscules, et. al. for its makeup. In turn, the Textus Receptus was used to create the King James Version. The King James also used the Early English Translations and the Masoretic Text for its sourced development. In summary, the King James Version used (1) the Talmudic Jew corrupted Masoretic Text, (2) the Masoretic Text sourced Textus Receptus, and (3) the Latin Vulgate for its primary sources. So, the King James Version was mainly based on the corrupt 10th century AD Masoretic Textalong with the Latin Vulgate that was translated from the corrupt 1st Century Hebrew OT. All protestant and catholic bibles are Masoretic based and come from the altered 1st Century Hebrew OT. This is why the Septuagint is necessary to compare to the Masoretic Text for understanding. The Septuagint is more authentic and its accuracy is confirmed also by the Dead Sea (Qumran) scrolls. It is necessary to go to the Greek for understanding and to compare this to the Hebrew meaning. From this and other outside sources one can come to a far better understanding of the written scripture.
