The Holman Christian Standard Bible Exposed!

 

By Dr. Ken Matto

In the history of faithless translations, the new Holman Christian Standard Bible stands as the latest addition to the line of corrupted translations. In the introduction to this version, they plainly state that they use the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, fifth edition for the Hebrew and the Nestle Aland Text, 27th edition and the United Bible Societies 4th corrected edition for the Greek. Right at the outset we see that this entire version is under girded by three corrupted manuscripts. As you will see in this comparison of fifty verses, that the Holman Christian Standard Bible is anything but a standard. It will agree wholeheartedly with the other false versions plus the New American Bible of the Roman Catholic Institution and the New World Translation of the Jehovah’s Witnesses which you will see in this comparison. Any Christian who uses this book as their version of choice will be using a cursed book because God does not bless the corruption of His word and no Christian will ever grow in the faith using a false version. Once again you will see how superior the King James Bible is over all these false translations. The King James verse will come first with underlining of the part of the verse which has been tampered with.

These fifty verses are just the tip of the iceberg concerning the corruption found in this latest per-version. You can take the King James Bible and compare the Holman Standard Christian Bible to it and you will see that it is just another massively corrupt version which totally agrees with the Roman Catholic and Jehovah‘s Witnesses versions. The footnotes in this version cast complete doubt on the authenticity of many passages which parallels the New King James version in doubt casting. With all these foot notes stating that certain verses do not appear in other manuscripts will only send much confusion into the life of a Christian and will cast doubt as to if we have the word of God today. THIS IS SATAN’S STRATEGY! (Gen 3:1 KJV) Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?


The following verses have been bracketed and/or footnoted in the HCSB as being omitted in the corrupted Greek texts. They are omitted in the modern versions but the HCSB keeps them in but footnotes and brackets them casting doubt on their authenticity.

Matthew 12:47           Luke 17:36
Matthew 17:21           Luke 22:20
Matthew 18:11           Luke 23:17
Matthew 21:44
Matthew 23:14          John 5:3-4

Mark 7:16                  Acts 8:37
Mark 9:44                  Acts 28:29
Mark 9:46
Mark 11:26                Romans 16:24
Mark 15:28
Mark 16:9-20

Summary
As you have plainly seen the Holman Christian Standard Bible is nothing new. It is just another rewrite of the Gnostic Scriptures which were corrupted in Alexandria, Egypt in the second century and transmitted through the ages by the Roman Catholic Institution. The HCSB also agrees totally with the Jehovah’s Witness Bible which means you can’t get anymore corrupt than that. Why would any Christian want to use a Bible which the Jehovah’s Witnesses use? If you are a true Christian, then God does not want you to use anything which is corrupt, no matter who endorses it. Remember, famous pastors and theologians are paid big money by the publishers to endorse false translations and they are happy to do it. Whenever you see a new translation with many endorsements on the back cover, then realize they all made a nice trip to the bank. Well, as we have seen the major differences in the four translations offered, we can safely conclude that God endorses the King James Bible because of its purity and that is the only endorsement you can trust.

The King James Bible is the only Bible which glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ instead of attacking Him and the doctrines which are untouched in the KJB. At the time of this writing, I have been a Christian since January 1981 and have used the corrupted versions but was oblivious to their corruption. God brought me to the truth in 1986 and I have never had the least desire to change from my King James Bible, simply because, it, being the real word of God, has brought stability into my Christian walk. Every new version is written differently which means Christians will never find stability in their understanding of Scripture. I pity the poor Christian who uses ten versions of these false bibles and tries to come to understanding of the Scriptures. I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt, that all you need is the King James Bible and when you adopt that as your only Bible, the Holy Spirit will begin to open up your understanding, simply because He cannot bless corruption, and neither should we.

After reading the comparisons, there are only two summaries which can be arrived at:

 

1) The HCSB is as corrupt as the NWT, or

2) The NWT is as accurate as the HCSB
