Affected Teachings
There is no reason given as to why the words “the Lord” was removed
from the above manuscripts. By removing these words, they have removed the
heavenly testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ because these words specifically
identify Him as the second Adam which came from Heaven to redeem His Elect.
The removal of these words also attacks the deity of Christ because He is
the Lord from Heaven. This way they make the Lord Jesus just another man
without any divine attributes.
