The ESV and its attack on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
Complied by Dr. Ken Matto
The English Standard Version like its modern counterparts has attacked
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ by shearing off parts of the name. There
are a total of 22 verses which have been mutilated by the Gnostics. These
mutilations have been retained in the ESV which means the translators agree
with the Gnostics. With every new translation, the deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ is attacked and His position brought down a little lower. God cannot
bless any counterfeit bible version and those Christians who use them will
not be blessed in their ministries. Can the Holy Spirit bless corruption?
