Affected Teaching

(John 11:27 KJV) She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. The Lord Jesus Christ came into the world. This was the incarnation of the Son of God. When the manuscript corrupters remove the portion “in the world” it denies the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ. We see in John 11:27 that the Lord Jesus Christ was to come into the world. He entered the world to die for the sins of the Elect and to deny that He came into the world, like the modern versions do in this verse, is to deny the very mission of the Lord Jesus Christ. Once again the modern versions deny a cardinal doctrine of the Bible, the Incarnation, without which no one could be saved.
