Dr. Paul Freeman analyzes the New Testament bible variations which undermine long-held Christian doctrines. That is, unless your Bible is based on the Received Text (aka, Textus Receptus [TR]), best translated by the Authorized Version. This should obliterate the argument vainly held out, that no variation affects doctrine. Nonsense!

The latest hot-selling Bible is the ESV. Before you burn your hard-earned cash, you might want to see what the next-generation RSV actually does to God's Word. You'll be shocked. You may even get kicked out of your church if you even question why 15% of the Received Greek New Testament is missing from this utterly corrupt translation. At best we can only say it contains the word of God.

We just read what the publisher page says, and figure out who wrote the Bible ... right? Hardly! Some 40 different authors over a period of about 1,600 years contributed to this divine piece of work. How do we know this? What does the Bible say about itself?

It's fashionable for theologians to declare Bible passages to be in error, claiming that words and phrases can be harmlessly removed. They also boldly claim God didn't promise to preserve His Word, but just "propositional truth". Others claim this is a conscience issue. Does the Bible directly address any of this? [Hint: yes!]

When we say "the canon is closed", we mean there's no more divine revelation coming from God. This shuts down the door to errors such as Apostolic succession, prophets coming with new teachings, or a trust in scholars over the Word itself.
