- Affected Teaching
- The omitted part is definitely a Gnostic attack on the doctrine of the
Holy Spirit. The omitted part teaches us that the Holy Spirit indwells the
true believer. The Gnostics did not believe that the Spirit of God could
dwell in filthy flesh so they rejected the idea of the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit. The omission in this verse is another proof of their rejection
of the spirit world. Alexandria, Egypt was the hotbed of Gnosticism and if
you will notice the first manuscript to reject this part of the Scripture
was the Alexandrinus manuscript which came from Alexandria, Egypt. Two of
the most famous Alexandrian Gnostics were Clement of Alexandria and
Adamantius Origen. No way was Origen a great church father because it was
under his tutelage that the manuscripts from Antioch were corrupted. Yet,
the modern scholar believes and teaches that Origen was a great Christian
and church father and because of that they base their modern versions on his
work. Over the past three years we have seen the results of his work that it
was nothing but an attack on the truths of Scripture. Once again, by using
the King James Bible we avoid all the corruption that Satan’s minions have
thrown into the mix. There is no one more confused in the body of Christ
than a Christian who believes they can use a few modern versions to
understand God’s Word. How many of us would like to undergo surgery by a
surgeon who read books in school according to the same way they corrupt the
Bible? Would it give you confidence in that surgeon knowing that the part of
the book which describes your problem was omitted? He who has ears to hear!
