DAILY SPURGEON for January 6th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.
BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a difference?​
Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.

A SINNER’S PRAYER
________________________________________
PRAYER 1 Part 6 of 7 HELP FROM ON HIGH.
We lift our voice to Thee in prayer; also, for all our dear ones. Lord, bless the sick and make them well as soon as it is right they should be. Sanctify to them all they have to bear. There are also dear friends who are very weak; some that are very trembling. God bless them.
While the tent [a metaphor for our physical body] is being taken down [as physical death comes near] may the inhabitant within [spirit and soul] look on with calm joy, for we shall by-and-by “be clothed upon with our house that is from heaven” [a glorified eternal body]
Lord, help us to sit very loose [know that all physical possessions are temporary] by all these things here below. May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house [permanent home] but an inn [temporary shelter] in which we sup [eat] and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow. [ In Jesus name, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 157: Dying Grace.
I remember my aged grandfather [of C.H. Spurgeon] once preached a sermon which I have not forgotten. He was preaching from the text “The God of all grace,”
and he somewhat interested the assembly, after describing the different kinds of grace that God gave, by saying at the end of each period,
“But there is one kind of grace that you do not want.”
After each sentence there came the like, “But there is one kind of grace you do not want”
And, then, he wound up [concluded] by saying,
“You don’t want dying grace in living moments, but you shall have dying grace when you want it.”
Now, you are testing yourself by a condition in which you are not placed.
If you are placed in the condition, you shall have grace enough if you put your trust in Christ. In a party of friends, we were discussing the question, whether if the days of martyrdom should come, we were prepared to be burned [at the stake]. Well, now, I must frankly say, that speaking as I feel to-day, I am not prepared to be burned.
But I do believe if there were a stake [for being burned alive] in Smithfield, and I knew that I were to be burned there at one o clock, that I should have grace enough to be burned at one o clock; but I have not yet got to a quarter past twelve, [12:15] and the time has not come yet.
Do not expect dying grace, until you want it, and when the time comes, you may be sure you will have sufficient grace to bear it. Cast out that stumbling-block, then.
Rest thyself on Christ, and trust him to help thee in thy dying hour [when you shall actually die]. ________________________________________
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 6 HELP FROM WITHOUT C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892
-Yea, I will help thee- Isaiah 41:10
..Siempre te ayudaré,- Isaias 41:10
Yesterday’s promise secured us strength for what we have to do, but this guarantees us aid in cases where we cannot act alone.
The Lord says,
-I will help thee.-
Strength within is supplemented [sustained] by help without.
God can raise us up allies [brothers-in-arms] in our warfare if so it seems good in His sight; and even if He does not send us human assistance, He himself will be at our side, and this is better still.
-Our August [Powerful] Ally [God almighty] - is better than legions of mortal helpers. His help is timely [always at the right time]: He is a very present help in time of trouble. His help is very wise: He knows how to give each man help, meet [suitable] and fit for him.
His help is most effectual, though vain [futile] is the help of man. His [God’s] help is more than help, for He bears all the burden, and supplies all the need.
-The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.-
Because He has already been our help, we feel confidence in Him for the present and the future.
Our prayer is,
-Lord, be thou my helper-;
our experience is, The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities;
our expectation is, - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh [from where comes] my help- ; and
our song soon will be, -Thou, Lord, hast holpen [helped] me.-
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that You help me [and all believers]. My own weakness makes me shrink, but Your help makes me brave.
Grant that I may walk in this assurance in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

… and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening of believers.
The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide God’s eternal Word preserved and protected by God, Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [supernaturally fathered] Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is the faithfully rendered Greek text with an overwhelming agreement in and among the majority of the 5,321 extant New Testament, Greek manuscripts known as the MT. [Majority Text]. The Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes. These are the manuscripts from which the Original King James version was translated onto English.
In order for Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland to create the Modern Greek to create the many variant reaings brought through highly nuanced readings from the Critical Text theory. Only Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Text MT were hand-picked and they were not from the foundational text from which the Textus Receptus was rendered but were selected from the inferior Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. These fifty-five manuscripts brought variant readings and were created, ostensibly, to justify the creation of an alternative Greek text to the Textus Receptus which had been under relentless attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland for many years.
The Codices known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are inferior because they often are in disagreement with the Textus Receptus and incredibly, with one another. They give rise to variant readings and embrace secular doctrine bias not supported by scripture translated from the Majority Text or Textus Receptus. They have been infused by invented Greek text where an absence of Greek text from the Fifty-five hand-picked manuscripts was found.
They invented but did not disclose themselves as the source of the new Greek translation. They supplied this new Greek translation to all Committee members with the aim to revise the King James Bible. However, They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be based. All members of the committee were required to agree to this code.
Modern textual criticism is based on the assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, more accurate. Actually, the continuous and unsettled changes from their variant readings reflect error, doctrinal ambiguities and biases not supported by the Majority Text.
Scripture based on The Greek text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland of a secular or denominational tradition allow modern textual criticism to rob God of His Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and Infallibility and to diminish Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that deserves and demands ALL GLORY!
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves all of His inspired WORD. HIS God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, everlasting inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33

MORNING, January 6
"Casting [throwing] all your care upon Him; for He careth [cares] for you." - 1 Peter 5:7
—Echando toda vuestra solicitud en él, porque él tiene cuidado de vosotros.— 1 Pedro 5:7
IT is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel the Lord's care for us. Christian! Do not dishonor your religion [faith] by always wearing a face of fretful care; come,
cast your burden [toss your worry] upon your Lord.
You are staggering beneath a weight that your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden [weight] would be to Him but as the small dust of the balance [on the scales].
Nothing is so sweet as to Lie passive in God's hands, And [to] know no will but His.
O child of suffering, be patient; God has not passed over you in His providence [divine plan of provision for you].
The feeder of sparrows will also furnish you with what you need. Do not sit down in despair;
hope on, hope ever [always hope in Jesus]. Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble, and your opposition [against your enemy] will end your distresses.
There is One who cares for you. His eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with pity for your woe, and His omnipotent [infinitely powerful] hand will bring you the help you need.
The darkest cloud will scatter itself in showers of mercy. The blackest gloom will give place to the morning. He, if [because] you are one of His family, will bind up your wounds, and heal your broken heart.
Do not doubt His grace because of your tribulation [trouble], but believe
He loves you as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness.
What a serene [peaceful] and quiet life you might lead if you would leave providing to the God of providence! With a little oil in the cruse [bottle], and a handful of meal [flour for making bread] in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same.
If [Because] God cares for you, why need you care too? [Why should you worry?]
Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body?
He has never refused to bear [carry] your burdens. He has never fainted under their weight.
Come, then, [Come-on then.] be done with fretful care, and leave all your concerns in the hand of a gracious [and all-powerful] God.

EVENING, January 6
"Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening." —Ezekiel 33:22
- Y la mano de Jehová había sida sobre mí la tarde— Ezequiel 33:22
IN the way of judgment this may be the case, and, if so, it is wise to consider the reason of such a visitation [visit], and hear the rod [whip] and Him who has appointed it. I am not the only one who is chastened [disciplined] in the night season, let me cheerfully submit to the affliction, and carefully endeavor to profit from it.
But the hand of the Lord may also be felt in another manner: strengthening the soul and lifting the spirit upward towards eternal things. 0 that I may feel the Lord dealing with me in this way! A sense of the divine presence and indwelling carries the soul towards heaven as if on the wings of eagles.
At such times we are filled to the brim with spiritual joy and forget the cares and sorrows of earth, the invisible [spiritual realm] is near, and the visible loses its power over us, the body waits at the foot of the hill, and the spirit worships at the summit in the presence of the Lord.
0 that a hallowed season of divine communion [fellowship] may be given to me this evening! The Lord knows that I need it very greatly.
My Christian graces grow feeble, my evil nature rages, my faith is weak, my devotion is cold: all these are reasons why His healing hand should be laid upon me.
His hand can cool the heat of my burning brow, and quiet the tumult of my palpitating [fast beating] heart.
That glorious right hand which molded the world can create my mind anew; the unwearied [never tired] hand which bears up the earth's huge pillars [holds the mountains up] can sustain my spirit; the loving hand which encloses [carefully holds] all the saints can cherish [adore] me; and the mighty hand which breaks the enemy in pieces can subdue [conquer] my sins. Why should I not feel that hand touching me this evening?
Come, my soul, address your God with the potent plea, that Jesus' hands were pierced for your redemption [salvation], and…
you shall surely feel the same hand upon you that once touched Daniel and set him on his knees so that he might see visions of God.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER:
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, I pray, Amen.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]
URL: https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy
Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon # 1245 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.
_____________________________________
Can You trust this website?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."
___________________________________________________________________
He has always existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Let me invite you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him:
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And then, Jesus said to him:
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s new birth.
It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.
Romans 6:3-5:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Commitment to the Word of God
Long before the Conservative Resurgence, Dr. R.G. Lee was the Southern Baptist champion of biblical infallibility and inerrancy. In his sermon, “The Word of God – Not Broken and Not Bound,” first published in 1930, Dr. Lee proclaimed, “All who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book [The Holy Bible],
… “supernatural in origin, divine in authorship, human in penmanship, infallible in authority, infinite in scope, universal in interest, personal in application, regenerative in power, inspired [God breathed] in totality.”
Dr Robert G. Lee preached a sermon (click here) Payday Someday over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com a website that proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .
This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails of promises from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and continues to be used in the distribution of the website contents. Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in a more vigorous personal devotion to Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.
We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.
Jon Edward loved to say,
“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”
…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

You Never Let Go by Guy Penrod
God has preserved His Word through The Masoretic Hebrew and Aramaic languages of the Old Testament and the GreekTextus Receptus of the New Testament:
In contrast, the Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not translated from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, that became the Textus Receptus [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus].
The Sinaiticus and Vaticanus manuscripts present variant readings rather than that of the well-established and settled majority Texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.
Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. He is not the author of confusion.

Our Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company honors the memory of Charles H. Spurgeon his writing and preaching. Honor to whom honor is due. He didn’t want praise then and doesn’t need it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ Jesus only and him crucified.
Precaution: The content presented from this website can be beneficial, but it cannot substitute for gathering together, in-person, with other believers to hear the preaching of God’s Word and to worship and sing praises to the Lord Jesus Christ [the Messiah].
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the authentic. inerrant, and infallible English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the extant 5,321 majority Greek manuscripts text from which the Greek Textus Receptus, [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament is taken.
The Hebrew Masoretic Text copied faithfully by Masoretic scribes was the original Old Testament. (The Jewish Tanakh) is the Hebrew source from which translations into other languages were made. These manuscripts are providentially protected of God and always give the greatest glory to God when compared to other translations. Editorial notations, variant and sometimes ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus consistently allow nuanced meanings to diminish God’s Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence or other divine attributes from being fully voiced.
The Authorized King James version is unique also in that the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, The Crown’s Authorized Printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
Printed Spurgeon Prayers: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.

How Mosaic Worship Foretold Christ
'Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all.'

The Authorized King James Bible
URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/King-James-Version-KJV-Bible/
The above link is to search for specific words or Scriptures in the King James inerrant and infallible English Version (KJV) because it is providentially protected and preserved by GOD Himself through the only translation into English by faithful brethren from the 5,312 established majority text manuscripts MT from which the New Testament Greek Textus Receptus [received text] was taken and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (Jewish Tanakh). These manuscripts are providentially protected, and give greater glory to God when compared to the variant readings of all post KJV translations. Modern Critical Texts are based on only 55 hand picked Greek manuscripts fabricated from either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. Both of these Greek textual sources make the assumption that OLDER IS BETTER. Of course, this assumption is not valid in any place the older manuscripts err from the Textus Receptus..
The established majority manuscripts and the Textus Receptus avoid doctrinal error, and inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings which taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.
Copyright: The King James Version is also distinguished by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No one other than the Crown’s printer, is allowed print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
In the United States there is no Copyright protection to restrict the free printing of the KJV. It is the only Bible version that may be printed freely as Public Domain. Any new publication that changes 10% or more of any existing publication may procure a lucrative Copyright protection to restrict unauthorized printing of the new publication. Therefore, the NKJV, NIV and many other modern translations. Only the King James Version New Testament is unique from among the over 100 English translations that follow modern textual criticism and only the King James is faithfully translated from the well-established Greek Textus Receptus as the Primary time tested and self-authenticating Greek Source.

DEFENDING THE KING JAMES BIBLE by the Millennium Bible Institute

This video presents the truth for those who seek to learn about and use the providentially protected, preserved and immutable Holy Bible that is both inerrant [without error] and infallible and gives God alone, the utmost praise, and the greatest glory due to HIMSELF. Praise and worship are rightfully insisted upon and commanded in God’s inspired [God-Breathed (Spoken) Word from God himself.
INSPIRED [God Breathed] HOLY WORDS were given and are protected by by God through the Holy Ghost, word by word, to His Holy Prophets and Apostles comprise all eternal Holy Scripture. (Matthew 5:18)
__________________________________
HOW HAS THE MAJORITY TEXT AND THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS BEEN PROVIDENTIALLY PROTECTED AND PRESERVED?
The inspired, god breathed, immortal words, were uttered, word-by-word, to the holy prophets and apostles who were chosen of God and moved by the holy ghost. These words are protected and preserved in holy scripture and are written word-by-word and are immutable, [unchangeable] without error, and infallible [incapable of making a mistake or being wrong]. and for ever [sic] settled in heaven by God himself in the self authenticating word of god, itself.
The Authorized (King James) Holy Bible.

89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

The complete Inside Story of Westcott and Hort:
Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort (Text only)
URL: https://www.febc.edu.sg/article/def_the_inside_story_of_westcott_and_hort
In 1870, The Anglican Church of England passed a resolution to revise the English Bible. The New Testament revision committee which finally consisted of 25 scholars (though only about 16 eventually attended the meetings) which included Westcott and Hort. The committee worked for ten years in the Jerusalem chamber, and these two scholars swept the Revision Committee along with them after work commenced. In fact, the “Cambridge trio” (Westcott, Hort and Lightfoot) colluded with others to dominate the meetings with their views of the text and to defeat any who opposed them. Their *letters reveal this conspiracy:
* Letters from close relatives are quoted in the Inside Story above
The only voice defending the Textus Receptus was Dr Scrivener, probably the foremost scholar of the day in the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament and the history of the Text. But he was systematically outvoted by the Cambridge trio and outdone by Hort’s powerful debating skill. When the revision was completed, the revision committee had altered the Greek Text in 5,337 places,
thus violating the original rule that had been set for the committee of not altering the Greek Text unless absolutely necessary to do so.
____________________________________
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, let it be said that no matter how good any modern version of the New Testament is in other ways, it is clearly blemished if the work of Westcott and Hort or Nestle & Aland.is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on defective text. Those who honor the Word of God must not promote any of these versions by the church, not because the content of the version is entirely evil in itself, but because being contented to use a weakened version rather than the existing, preserved, inerrant unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has preserved for His people a good Greek text of the New Testament for 18 centuries, how dishonoring it must be to Him if His people now chose versions that are based on the defective and inferior Greek manuscript invented by Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Aland.

DEVOTION for January 6th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.
BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a difference?​
Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.

________________________________________
PRAYER 1 Part 6 of 7 HELP FROM ON HIGH.
We lift our voice to Thee in prayer; also, for all our dear ones. Lord, bless the sick and make them well as soon as it is right they should be. Sanctify to them all they have to bear. There are also dear friends who are very weak; some that are very trembling. God bless them.
While the tent [a metaphor for our physical body] is being taken down [as physical death comes near] may the inhabitant within [spirit and soul] look on with calm joy, for we shall by-and-by “be clothed upon with our house that is from heaven” [a glorified eternal body]
Lord, help us to sit very loose [know that all physical possessions are temporary] by all these things here below. May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house [permanent home] but an inn [temporary shelter] in which we sup [eat] and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow. [ In Jesus name, Amen.]
________________________________________
ANECDOTE 157: Dying Grace.
I remember my aged grandfather [of C.H. Spurgeon] once preached a sermon which I have not forgotten. He was preaching from the text “The God of all grace,”
and he somewhat interested the assembly, after describing the different kinds of grace that God gave, by saying at the end of each period,
“But there is one kind of grace that you do not want.”
After each sentence there came the like, “But there is one kind of grace you do not want”
And, then, he wound up [concluded] by saying,
“You don’t want dying grace in living moments, but you shall have dying grace when you want it.”
Now, you are testing yourself by a condition in which you are not placed.
If you are placed in the condition, you shall have grace enough if you put your trust in Christ. In a party of friends, we were discussing the question, whether if the days of martyrdom should come, we were prepared to be burned [at the stake]. Well, now, I must frankly say, that speaking as I feel to-day, I am not prepared to be burned.
But I do believe if there were a stake [for being burned alive] in Smithfield, and I knew that I were to be burned there at one o clock, that I should have grace enough to be burned at one o clock; but I have not yet got to a quarter past twelve, [12:15] and the time has not come yet.
Do not expect dying grace, until you want it, and when the time comes, you may be sure you will have sufficient grace to bear it. Cast out that stumbling-block, then.
Rest thyself on Christ, and trust him to help thee in thy dying hour [when you shall actually die]. ________________________________________

..Siempre te ayudaré,- Isaias 41:10
Yesterday’s promise secured us strength for what we have to do, but this guarantees us aid in cases where we cannot act alone.
The Lord says,
-I will help thee.-
Strength within is supplemented [sustained] by help without.
God can raise us up allies [brothers-in-arms] in our warfare if so it seems good in His sight; and even if He does not send us human assistance, He himself will be at our side, and this is better still.
-Our August [Powerful] Ally [God almighty] - is better than legions of mortal helpers. His help is timely [always at the right time]: He is a very present help in time of trouble. His help is very wise: He knows how to give each man help, meet [suitable] and fit for him.
His help is most effectual, though vain [futile] is the help of man. His [God’s] help is more than help, for He bears all the burden, and supplies all the need.
-The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.-
Because He has already been our help, we feel confidence in Him for the present and the future.
Our prayer is,
-Lord, be thou my helper-;
our experience is, The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities;
our expectation is, - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh [from where comes] my help- ; and
our song soon will be, -Thou, Lord, hast holpen [helped] me.-
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that You help me [and all believers]. My own weakness makes me shrink, but Your help makes me brave.
Grant that I may walk in this assurance in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

… and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening of believers.
The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide God’s eternal Word preserved and protected by God, Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [supernaturally fathered] Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is the faithfully rendered Greek text with an overwhelming agreement in and among the majority of the 5,321 extant New Testament, Greek manuscripts known as the MT. [Majority Text]. The Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes. These are the manuscripts from which the Original King James version was translated onto English.
In order for Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland to create the Modern Greek to create the many variant reaings brought through highly nuanced readings from the Critical Text theory. Only Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Text MT were hand-picked and they were not from the foundational text from which the Textus Receptus was rendered but were selected from the inferior Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. These fifty-five manuscripts brought variant readings and were created, ostensibly, to justify the creation of an alternative Greek text to the Textus Receptus which had been under relentless attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland for many years.
The Codices known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are inferior because they often are in disagreement with the Textus Receptus and incredibly, with one another. They give rise to variant readings and embrace secular doctrine bias not supported by scripture translated from the Majority Text or Textus Receptus. They have been infused by invented Greek text where an absence of Greek text from the Fifty-five hand-picked manuscripts was found.
They invented but did not disclose themselves as the source of the new Greek translation. They supplied this new Greek translation to all Committee members with the aim to revise the King James Bible. However, They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be based. All members of the committee were required to agree to this code.
Modern textual criticism is based on the assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, more accurate. Actually, the continuous and unsettled changes from their variant readings reflect error, doctrinal ambiguities and biases not supported by the Majority Text.
Scripture based on The Greek text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland of a secular or denominational tradition allow modern textual criticism to rob God of His Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and Infallibility and to diminish Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that deserves and demands ALL GLORY!
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves all of His inspired WORD. HIS God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, everlasting inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33

MORNING, January 6
"Casting [throwing] all your care upon Him; for He careth [cares] for you." - 1 Peter 5:7
—Echando toda vuestra solicitud en él, porque él tiene cuidado de vosotros.— 1 Pedro 5:7
IT is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel the Lord's care for us. Christian! Do not dishonor your religion [faith] by always wearing a face of fretful care; come,
cast your burden [toss your worry] upon your Lord.
You are staggering beneath a weight that your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden [weight] would be to Him but as the small dust of the balance [on the scales].
Nothing is so sweet as to Lie passive in God's hands, And [to] know no will but His.
O child of suffering, be patient; God has not passed over you in His providence [divine plan of provision for you].
The feeder of sparrows will also furnish you with what you need. Do not sit down in despair;
hope on, hope ever [always hope in Jesus]. Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble, and your opposition [against your enemy] will end your distresses.
There is One who cares for you. His eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with pity for your woe, and His omnipotent [infinitely powerful] hand will bring you the help you need.
The darkest cloud will scatter itself in showers of mercy. The blackest gloom will give place to the morning. He, if [because] you are one of His family, will bind up your wounds, and heal your broken heart.
Do not doubt His grace because of your tribulation [trouble], but believe
He loves you as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness.
What a serene [peaceful] and quiet life you might lead if you would leave providing to the God of providence! With a little oil in the cruse [bottle], and a handful of meal [flour for making bread] in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same.
If [Because] God cares for you, why need you care too? [Why should you worry?]
Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body?
He has never refused to bear [carry] your burdens. He has never fainted under their weight.
Come, then, [Come-on then.] be done with fretful care, and leave all your concerns in the hand of a gracious [and all-powerful] God.

EVENING, January 6
"Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening." —Ezekiel 33:22
- Y la mano de Jehová había sida sobre mí la tarde— Ezequiel 33:22
IN the way of judgment this may be the case, and, if so, it is wise to consider the reason of such a visitation [visit], and hear the rod [whip] and Him who has appointed it. I am not the only one who is chastened [disciplined] in the night season, let me cheerfully submit to the affliction, and carefully endeavor to profit from it.
But the hand of the Lord may also be felt in another manner: strengthening the soul and lifting the spirit upward towards eternal things. 0 that I may feel the Lord dealing with me in this way! A sense of the divine presence and indwelling carries the soul towards heaven as if on the wings of eagles.
At such times we are filled to the brim with spiritual joy and forget the cares and sorrows of earth, the invisible [spiritual realm] is near, and the visible loses its power over us, the body waits at the foot of the hill, and the spirit worships at the summit in the presence of the Lord.
0 that a hallowed season of divine communion [fellowship] may be given to me this evening! The Lord knows that I need it very greatly.
My Christian graces grow feeble, my evil nature rages, my faith is weak, my devotion is cold: all these are reasons why His healing hand should be laid upon me.
His hand can cool the heat of my burning brow, and quiet the tumult of my palpitating [fast beating] heart.
That glorious right hand which molded the world can create my mind anew; the unwearied [never tired] hand which bears up the earth's huge pillars [holds the mountains up] can sustain my spirit; the loving hand which encloses [carefully holds] all the saints can cherish [adore] me; and the mighty hand which breaks the enemy in pieces can subdue [conquer] my sins. Why should I not feel that hand touching me this evening?
Come, my soul, address your God with the potent plea, that Jesus' hands were pierced for your redemption [salvation], and…
you shall surely feel the same hand upon you that once touched Daniel and set him on his knees so that he might see visions of God.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER:
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, I pray, Amen.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]
URL: https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy
Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon # 1245 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.
_____________________________________
Can You trust this website?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."
___________________________________________________________________
He has always existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Let me invite you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him:
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And then, Jesus said to him:
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s new birth.
It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.
Romans 6:3-5:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Commitment to the Word of God
Long before the Conservative Resurgence, Dr. R.G. Lee was the Southern Baptist champion of biblical infallibility and inerrancy. In his sermon, “The Word of God – Not Broken and Not Bound,” first published in 1930, Dr. Lee proclaimed, “All who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book [The Holy Bible],
… “supernatural in origin, divine in authorship, human in penmanship, infallible in authority, infinite in scope, universal in interest, personal in application, regenerative in power, inspired [God breathed] in totality.”
Dr Robert G. Lee preached a sermon (click here) Payday Someday over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com a website that proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .
This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails of promises from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and continues to be used in the distribution of the website contents. Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in a more vigorous personal devotion to Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.
We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.
Jon Edward loved to say,
“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”
…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

You Never Let Go by Guy Penrod
God has preserved His Word through The Masoretic Hebrew and Aramaic languages of the Old Testament and the GreekTextus Receptus of the New Testament:
In contrast, the Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not translated from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, that became the Textus Receptus [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus].
The Sinaiticus and Vaticanus manuscripts present variant readings rather than that of the well-established and settled majority Texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.
Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. He is not the author of confusion.

Our Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company honors the memory of Charles H. Spurgeon his writing and preaching. Honor to whom honor is due. He didn’t want praise then and doesn’t need it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ Jesus only and him crucified.
Precaution: The content presented from this website can be beneficial, but it cannot substitute for gathering together, in-person, with other believers to hear the preaching of God’s Word and to worship and sing praises to the Lord Jesus Christ [the Messiah].
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the authentic. inerrant, and infallible English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the extant 5,321 majority Greek manuscripts text from which the Greek Textus Receptus, [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament is taken.
The Hebrew Masoretic Text copied faithfully by Masoretic scribes was the original Old Testament. (The Jewish Tanakh) is the Hebrew source from which translations into other languages were made. These manuscripts are providentially protected of God and always give the greatest glory to God when compared to other translations. Editorial notations, variant and sometimes ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus consistently allow nuanced meanings to diminish God’s Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence or other divine attributes from being fully voiced.
The Authorized King James version is unique also in that the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, The Crown’s Authorized Printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
Printed Spurgeon Prayers: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.

How Mosaic Worship Foretold Christ
'Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all.'

The Authorized King James Bible
URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/King-James-Version-KJV-Bible/
The above link is to search for specific words or Scriptures in the King James inerrant and infallible English Version (KJV) because it is providentially protected and preserved by GOD Himself through the only translation into English by faithful brethren from the 5,312 established majority text manuscripts MT from which the New Testament Greek Textus Receptus [received text] was taken and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (Jewish Tanakh). These manuscripts are providentially protected, and give greater glory to God when compared to the variant readings of all post KJV translations. Modern Critical Texts are based on only 55 hand picked Greek manuscripts fabricated from either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. Both of these Greek textual sources make the assumption that OLDER IS BETTER. Of course, this assumption is not valid in any place the older manuscripts err from the Textus Receptus..
The established majority manuscripts and the Textus Receptus avoid doctrinal error, and inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings which taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.
Copyright: The King James Version is also distinguished by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No one other than the Crown’s printer, is allowed print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
In the United States there is no Copyright protection to restrict the free printing of the KJV. It is the only Bible version that may be printed freely as Public Domain. Any new publication that changes 10% or more of any existing publication may procure a lucrative Copyright protection to restrict unauthorized printing of the new publication. Therefore, the NKJV, NIV and many other modern translations. Only the King James Version New Testament is unique from among the over 100 English translations that follow modern textual criticism and only the King James is faithfully translated from the well-established Greek Textus Receptus as the Primary time tested and self-authenticating Greek Source.

DEFENDING THE KING JAMES BIBLE by the Millennium Bible Institute

This video presents the truth for those who seek to learn about and use the providentially protected, preserved and immutable Holy Bible that is both inerrant [without error] and infallible and gives God alone, the utmost praise, and the greatest glory due to HIMSELF. Praise and worship are rightfully insisted upon and commanded in God’s inspired [God-Breathed (Spoken) Word from God himself.
INSPIRED [God Breathed] HOLY WORDS were given and are protected by by God through the Holy Ghost, word by word, to His Holy Prophets and Apostles comprise all eternal Holy Scripture. (Matthew 5:18)
__________________________________
HOW HAS THE MAJORITY TEXT AND THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS BEEN PROVIDENTIALLY PROTECTED AND PRESERVED?
The inspired, god breathed, immortal words, were uttered, word-by-word, to the holy prophets and apostles who were chosen of God and moved by the holy ghost. These words are protected and preserved in holy scripture and are written word-by-word and are immutable, [unchangeable] without error, and infallible [incapable of making a mistake or being wrong]. and for ever [sic] settled in heaven by God himself in the self authenticating word of god, itself.
The Authorized (King James) Holy Bible.

The complete Inside Story of Westcott and Hort:
Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort (Text only)
URL: https://www.febc.edu.sg/article/def_the_inside_story_of_westcott_and_hort
In 1870, The Anglican Church of England passed a resolution to revise the English Bible. The New Testament revision committee which finally consisted of 25 scholars (though only about 16 eventually attended the meetings) which included Westcott and Hort. The committee worked for ten years in the Jerusalem chamber, and these two scholars swept the Revision Committee along with them after work commenced. In fact, the “Cambridge trio” (Westcott, Hort and Lightfoot) colluded with others to dominate the meetings with their views of the text and to defeat any who opposed them. Their *letters reveal this conspiracy:
* Letters from close relatives are quoted in the Inside Story above
The only voice defending the Textus Receptus was Dr Scrivener, probably the foremost scholar of the day in the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament and the history of the Text. But he was systematically outvoted by the Cambridge trio and outdone by Hort’s powerful debating skill. When the revision was completed, the revision committee had altered the Greek Text in 5,337 places,
thus violating the original rule that had been set for the committee of not altering the Greek Text unless absolutely necessary to do so.
____________________________________
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, let it be said that no matter how good any modern version of the New Testament is in other ways, it is clearly blemished if the work of Westcott and Hort or Nestle & Aland.is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on defective text. Those who honor the Word of God must not promote any of these versions by the church, not because the content of the version is entirely evil in itself, but because being contented to use a weakened version rather than the existing, preserved, inerrant unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has preserved for His people a good Greek text of the New Testament for 18 centuries, how dishonoring it must be to Him if His people now chose versions that are based on the defective and inferior Greek manuscript invented by Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Aland.
