DAILY SPURGEON for May 2nd *A.D. 2024 written and calendared by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”, a common mistake. It is an abbreviation from the Latin words Anno Domini; a shortened term, actually meaning: “Year of our Lord”.

He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago, is alive today, and is coming soon

C.H. Spurgeon The Peoples Preacher ( 70 min.) Historically accurate Feature Film of the one called The Prince of Preachers
2,018,939 views May 14, 2020 ―a video into the life and ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, widely known first as the “people’s preacher” who was later known as “The Prince of Preachers”.
It follows his trials and triumphs with historical accuracy pointing always to Jesus Christ and proclaiming, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh [takes] away the sin of the world.”
Here is an intimate account of one of the greatest preachers in the history of the church. We follow him from his youth where, as a young preacher he is called Charlie, boy preacher of the Finns. to become the minister to London’s largest Baptist congregation and soon captures the love and respect of Great Britan to become one of its most influential figures.
Made by the award-winning Christian Television Association and filmed on location in England, Scotland, France and Germany, this film vividly captures the spirit and message of a man whose eventful life is highly relevant to the twenty-first century.

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ [The Messiah], and the great commission for believers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
This ministry was begun with the sending of e-mails of Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook, to Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). A mailing list was started and grew rapidly with the addition of many who learned of this publication and wanted it sent to them directly. This mailing list continues to be used to distribute dailyspurgeon.com and we trust that it will continue to encourage whole-hearted devotional vigor of Love, and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study and obedience of GOD’S WORD.
All content is selected for this ministry has been written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon. We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ, by God’s grace and with His help, sustain this ministry that was begun with my beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.
Jon would often testify...
“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”
We say, Amen.

Is dailyspurgeon.com or any other spoken or written communication to be trusted?
Is it true? Is it of God?
Apply this Scripture to discern if it is of God and true, or not.
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [voice] you hear but be testing the spirits [voices] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit [voice] of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come from God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit [voice] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, we should [must] test every voice [spirit] whether it is from God, bonified and trustworthy to be believed only if it confesses [says] that…
“Jesus Christ is here, from God, in the flesh having come from God .”
[All English translations of the Bible other than King James have erroneously translated from two alternate Greek texts created by Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Alland as “Has come” rather than“Is come” [Is Here] which is the correct translation following the Greek Majority Text and the Textus Receptus]. The majority of manuscripts MT of the 5,321 individual Greek manuscripts that are preserved, protected, inerrant, infallible and immutable manuscripts and are in overwhelming agreement with one another and are the source from which the Textus Receptus is taken
All Modern Critical translations overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is in virtually all Majority Texts MT and subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] therefore they fail to correctly translate the Greek verb as, “Is come” [Is here]. (as does the KJV)
This error occurs because the modern critical Greek text, created by Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland DO NOT follow the MT [Majority Texts] of 5,321 Greek manuscripts that affirm agreement with one another. The TR [Textus Receptus] is rendered from this overwhelming body of primary sources . Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland have omitted the verb “is”, from the Greek text. This error may be described as res ipsa loquitur [a legal term meaning the thing speaks for itself].
Therefore, the alternate translations generated from these two alternate Greek fabrications are not correct. Why is that?
Because non-believers and false prophets can indeed, and often do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. Practically anyone can make this confession as the birth of Jesus Christ is considered by virtually all respected historians to be the most well documented fact in history. That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike. However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” falls woefully short of the essential and clear meaning of the confession “Is Here”. Just because something “has come” it can not be assumed, inferred or deduced that it also “is here”.
The “has come” assertion is not surprising nor is it, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this fails to present a Rubric necessary to discern whether the sprit [voice] being tested [tried] is from God or from false prophets in the spirit of antichrist.
Again, the expression “has come” rather than “is come” [is here] is not, per se a false statement.
However, it fails to deliver a valid hypothesis, proffered and inferred in the contextfor scriptural discernment. The failure here to establish a logical and rhetorically sound rubric to judge the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets and the spirit of antichrist is absent.
Namely, it does not provide a sound hypothesis to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words] are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.
Virtually anyone [or any spirit] may avow that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you can see, this does not resolve the issue of whether something should or should not be believed or followed. Why? Once again, because virtually anyone and everyone can and often do confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. This leaves absent a valid and efficacious hypothesis to discern the truth.
Again, while it is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, this alone is inadequate to discern truth from error. “Has come” does not mean the same thing as “is come [is here], from God, in the flesh” and therefore is a failed attempt to represent itself as efficacious for true spiritual discernment as outlined in 1 John Chapter 4: 1-3.
Further, as we compare Scripture with scripture in 1 John 4:1-3 and Ephesians 5:30-32
we comprehend God’s message regarding Jesus Christ being in the Flesh vis-à-vis His Church Body
Compare 1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
1 John 4:1-3
Authorized (King James) Version
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 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.
Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
30 for we are members of his [Jesus Christ’s] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery:
but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
[So, we are members of His body, flesh and bone, [we are] one flesh with Him, The Body of Christ is (In the flesh); and is the incarnate Body of believers].
He was born of a virgin 2024 years ago. He lives today,
and He’s coming soon, for His bride; the Church [Blood-bought, Born-again members of His body].
When a believer considers the fact that they are a member of the body of Christ [The Church] , they should acknowledge and readily confess that…
“Jesus Christ is here, from God, in the flesh,” because We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh! Amen.

As Jon remembered veterans, we remember him: Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would, on occasion, just bust-out singing the following songs; sometimes, on the way to church sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always kept in the truck’s CD player or,
even better, a song the Lord would spontaneously put in his joyful and loving heart.
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
…Jon always said “Later”; as in [see’ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was his unique way to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now, remembering the sound of his voice saying “Later”, it rings true with a new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still, and always will.
… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:
’Till We Meet Again. Amen.

… A Peerless Pulpiteer (Biographical Text) was Dr. Robert G. Lee, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis Tennessee
URL:
https://christianindex.org/stories/rg-lee-a-peerless-pulpiteer,1680
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,” published in 1930, in which Dr. Lee stated the following regarding the HOLY BIBLE: (KJV)
“All [Prophets and Apostles] who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book, 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. R.G. Lee preached a sermon called Payday Someday over 1,000 times.

SACRED LITERATURE:
THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS by John Bunyan is the most famous Allegory, world-wide and the Most widely Published Book of all time and was printed in over 200 Languages. It has NEVER, since 1698, been out-of-print.
Only The King James Bible was more widely published than The Pilgrim’s Progress.
ONLINE PRINT LIBRARY: (No Enrollment Fee or Registration required)
BUNYAN’S ORIGINAL of 1678: The Pilgrim’s Progress Published in 1853 by Logos
REVISED VERSION: The Pilgrim’s Progrefs [sic] 1999 by Barry E. Horner
OLD ENGLISH PRINT: The Pilgrim’s Progress Part II AKA Christiana
(Christian’s wife, Christiana and children; their dangerous journey, and safe arrival at the desired country.)
Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most famous Allegory, It and the Bible were commonly the only books to be found in the cabin of early American Settlers and were loved and read more than any book, second only to the Holy Bible. It’s also considered, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. It’s likely the most published book other than the Bible of all time. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938, 250 years after the Bunyan’s death. Hence, the world’s most famous Allegory.
Comment on Pilgrim’s Progress by Charles H. Spurgeon from the Spurgeon Sermon
“Christ in You”.
Spurgeon: Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me of Mr. Bunyan’s picture of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [happy melodies] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.
Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, Oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh, for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus, The Messiah; our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
Spurgeon Sermon: Christ in You, Preached May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29 (cit. II. THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, § 5)

PRAYER 17, Part 6 of 8
TO BE LIKE CHRIST.
Bless us, we pray Thee, as to our example and influence. May it always be of a salutary [beneficial] kind; may there be sweetness and light about us which all must be obliged [obligated] to perceive. Not for our honor would we crave [fixate on] this, but that our light may so shine before men
that they may “see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven.”
The Lord grant us this!
We beseech [implore] Thee, bless the unconverted among us; bring them in, dear Savior, bring them in. Help the living among us to compel [force] them to come in that Thy house may be filled; may something of a sacred compulsion be used that they may not be left outside to starve in the highways and hedges, but be brought in to the Gospel feast. [the Good news celebration of eternal life through Jesus Christ]
[We ask this In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 269: Christian Gladness.
There is an expression in the Greek that never has been rendered into English, and never will be. Old [John] Trapp makes a half puns upon the agalliasthe as he says, “dance a galliard.” I do not know what a “galliard” was, but I suppose that it was some very joyous kind of dance.
Certainly we know of no better way of translating our Lord’s word than by exult, or leap for joy. Even when your good name shall be tarnished by the malice of the wicked, then you are to leap. When are you to be wretched? Surely despondency is excluded. If slander is to make us dance, when are we to fret? Suppose some other kind of trial should come upon you,
you are still to rejoice in the Lord always.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK MAY 2 THE OVERCOMER’S REWARD C. H. Spurgeon
-To him that overcometh [overcomes] will I give to eat of the hidden manna [God’s Word, food miraculously sent from heaven] , and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he [except for the one] that receiveth [receives] it- Revelation 2:17
-Al que venciere, daré a comer del mana escondido, y le daré una piedrecita blanca, y en la piedrecita un nombre nuevo escrito, el cual ninguno conoce sino aquel que lo recibe- Apocalipsis 2:17
My heart, be thou stirred up to persevere [to keep-on keeping on] in the holy war, for the reward of victory is great. Today we eat of heavenly food which falls about our camps; the food of the wilderness, the food which comes from Heaven, the food which never fails the pilgrims [en route] to Canaan. But there is reserved for us in Christ Jesus a still higher degree of spiritual life, and a food for it which, as yet is hidden from our experience.
In the golden pot which was laid up in the ark [of the covenant] there was a portion of manna hidden away, which though kept for ages never grew stale. No one ever saw it; it was hid with the ark of the covenant, in the Holy of Holies. [The most holy place that only permitted the high priest to enter once per year]
Even so,
the highest life of the believer is hid with Christ, in God. We shall come to it soon.
Being made victorious through the grace of our Lord Jesus, we shall eat of the King’s meat, and feed upon royal dainties.
We shall feed upon Jesus.[The Word made flesh] He is our -hidden manna- [nourishment] as was the manna of the wilderness. He is all in all to us in our highest, as well as in our lowest estate.
He helps us to fight, gives us the victory, and then is Himself our reward. Lord, help me to overcome.
Prayer: Thank you Lord that You help Your soldiers to overcome and give them the hidden manna to eat [spiritual nourishment miraculously preserved, the bread of life, Jesus Christ] and will give us a white stone, and in the stone a new name will be written, which no man can know except for the one that receives it-
Give me blessed assurance in knowing that my life is hidden with Jesus Christ in God. Bless me Lord Jesus with patience knowing that Your promises are definite, certain and always come to pass .
Sing: Blessed Assurance with the Gaithers
URL: https://youtu.be/5T7ccgshEE0
I believe that You died for me and that God raised You from the dead, victorious over sin, Satan and the grave. Thank You for saving me. Preserve and keep me holy in Christ Jesus. -I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.- Galatians 2:20. I rejoice with the angels in heaven for each repentant sinner that looks to You and is saved. Luke 15:7.
Please help me to share this good news with every creature in Jesus Messiah’s name, Amen.
Pray also that all believers everywhere rightly divide God’s everlasting Word, to declare, preach and share the good news that Jesus suffered and died on the cross to make available eternal life to all who will trust in Him.
Pray that all redeemed, born-again blood-bought children of God abide faithful to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with every creature.

MORNING May 2
"And all the children of Israel murmured [whined and complained]." —Numbers 14:2
---Y quejáronse … todos los hijos de Israel —Números 14:2
THERE are murmurers [complainers, whiners and full-time critics] among Christians now, as there were in the camp of Israel of old. There are those who, when the rod falls, cry out against the afflictive dispensation.
They ask, "Why am I thus afflicted? What have I done to be chastened in this manner?"
A word with you, O murmurer!
Why should you murmur against the dispensations of your heavenly Father?
Can [Is it possible that] He treat you more hardly [harder] than you deserve? Consider what a rebel you once were, but he has pardoned you!
Surely, if He in His wisdom sees fit now to chasten [discipline, correct or punish] you, you should not complain. After all, are you smitten [clobbered] as hard as your sins deserve? Consider the corruption in your breast [heart], and then will you wonder that there need be so much of the rod to drive it out?
Weigh yourself, and discern how much dross [impurity] is mingled with your gold; and do you think the fire too hot to purge away so much dross as you have?
Does not that proud rebellious spirit of yours prove that your heart is not thoroughly sanctified? Are not those murmuring words contrary to the holy submissive nature of God's children? Is not [Isn’t] the correction needed?
But if you will murmur against the chastening, [punishment] take heed, for it will go hard [be rough on] murmurers. God always chastises [disciplines] His children twice, if they do not bear the first stroke patiently. But know one thing—
"He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men."
All His corrections are sent in love, to purify you, and to draw you nearer to Himself. Surely it must help you to bear the chastening with resignation if you are able to recognize your Father's hand. For
"whom the Lord loveth [loves] He chasteneth, [punishes] and scourgeth [whips] every son whom He receiveth” [recieves] .
If ye endure chastening [submit to a spanking] , God dealeth [deals] with you as with sons."
"Murmur not as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer."
________________________________________
EVENING May 2
"How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, 0 God." —Psalm 139:17
---Así que ¡cuán preciosos me son, oh Dios, tus pensamientos! —Salmos 139:17
DIVINE omniscience [infinite knowledge] affords no comfort to the ungodly mind, but to the child of God it overflows with consolation [comfort]. God is always thinking of us, never turns aside His mind from us, has us always before His eyes; and this is precisely as we would have it, for it would be dreadful to exist for a moment beyond the observation of our heavenly Father.
His thoughts are always tender, loving, wise, prudent [righteous], far-reaching, and they bring to us countless benefits: hence [therefore] it is a choice delight to remember them.
The Lord always did think on His people: hence [from where] their election and the covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured; He always will think of them: hence [from where] their final perseverance [endurance to the end] by which they shall be brought safely to their final rest.
In all our wanderings the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher [God almighty] is evermore fixed upon us—we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye.
In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and not a pang [the slightest discomfort] escapes Him; in our toils
He marks all our weariness, and writes in His book all the struggles of His faithful ones.
These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being.
Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is uncared for;
all the Tittles [the crossings of all letter “T’s”] of our little world are thought upon by the great God.

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 hopeless. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross for my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned to Hell. I have been self-centered 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 guilty and sorry for each and every sin I have done and look to You to forgive me of 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, because of my sin and You say, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You, to be my Lord and Savior from now on.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I ask You to abide in me and give me the desire to always follow You.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross. Even the sins of the whole world.
Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me even before I was born and that You still love me now. I love You too.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You have called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
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. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [Holy Ghost, Comforter, Spirit of Truth]
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father. With all my heart, thank you Father for saving me in Jesus’ name, Amen.

These titles are selected from the inspired body of work created from the preaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892. He created an excellent legacy of gospel preaching and exposition and is known as the “Prince of Preachers”. Spurgeon has been and is today widely read with great benefit from the 1800’s to this present time. He is the beloved founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England (Still thriving TODAY through the faithful preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.) [Click to live-stream current gospel preaching in real time each Sunday from London by Dr. Peter Masters, Metropolitan Tabernacle pastor since 1970.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, please bless Your disciples toward the winning of many souls, and help us to be loving and compassionate toward all who are in need, especially those in the household of faith. I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for His sake, Amen.
Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not praise or exalt Charles H. Spurgeon beyond the honor due him. He didn’t need or want it when he was on earth and would have no need or desire for it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM and Him crucified.
Precaution: These Messages and prayers alone will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word. (The King James version (KJV), known also as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because its accuracy and fidelity to the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text) avoid doctrinal and editorial weaknesses found in many contemporary editions.
Prayer Selection by Spurgeon must not be offered as a substitute for personal, intimate fervent, heart-felt, prayer. It is intended rather, to warm the hearts of those who are in prayer seeking a season of authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Read from the NT Book of Romans Chapter 8.

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 Scripture references in the King James Bible (KJV) inerrant and infallible English Bible because it is providentially protected and preserved by GOD Himself through the only translation into English by faithful brethren from the established majority text MT from which the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament was taken and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (Jewish Tanakh). These manuscripts are providentially protected, and frequently give greater glory to God when compared to variant readings of all modern translations from Modern Critical Texts based on inferior Greek manuscripts.
The established majority manuscripts avoid doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.
Copyright: The King James Version is 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 and the KJV is deemed Public Domain. If a new publication changes at least a 10% of an existing publication a lucrative Copyright can be granted. Therefore the NKJV and many other copyrighted 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 translated from the superior Greek Textus Receptus as its Primary time tested and self-authenticating Greek text Source.

The complete Inside Story of Westcott and Hort:
Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort (Text only)
URL: https://www.febc.edu.sg/v15/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 is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on a defective text. Those who want to honor the Word of God must not promote the use of any of these versions by the church, not because the content of the version is evil in itself, but because the attitude of being contented to use a blemished version rather than an existing unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has taken the trouble to preserve for His people a good Greek text of the New Testament for 18 centuries, how dishonoring it would be to Him if His people now chose instead to change over to a version that is based on a defective text.
Let the biblical story of Nadab and Abihu be a lesson to all:
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled” (Lev 10:1–6).
