were done this way, it would be easy to see were the Catholic Church changed or added to verses. Apparently Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:5-6, Galatians 1:8-9, Acts 2:38 and 42 and Revelations 22:18-19 had no effect on the early Catholic Church clergymen at all. It would appear that they wanted a new Catholic Trinitarian version of the Bible.
Let us consider one example of parenthesis or a biased triune addition to the Scriptures. John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
All of the false addition to John 1:14 really changes the meaning of the original Text. First, we need to remove the pagan term Word or Logos from this Text. Then we put back the singular term Deity/God or His name. Then we delete all that has been added in the Trinitarian Catholic commentary between the parentheses. Now we get a very different verse of Scripture that is no longer Trinitarian in context or talking about a second divine person or God the Son.
This is probably how John 1:14 should read in its original form when all the Hellenistic and Catholic Trinitarian additions are removed.
“And/even the God was made flesh and dwelt among us full of grace and truth” Now compare this statement to Rev. 1:8, 1 Tim.3:16, 2 Cor. 5:19, Rom. 9:5, Matt.1:23, John 10:30-33, John 14:6-9, Zec. 14:9, Ex. 20:3, Hosea 13:4, Deut. 6:4, Deut. 4:35, James 2:19, Acts 9:5, Col. 1:15 and Col. 2:8-9.
My, what a difference, now we have a purely one God monotheistic verse of Scripture! The one and only God (Isa. 43:10-11) Himself was made flesh or came to earth in a human body! This Text when restored is no longer about a God the Father; first Person in a Trinity sending His Logos a distinct coexisting second divine Person or God the Son “the only begotten” into the world. Now perhaps you are beginning to see the need for restoration and advanced study.
Origin and History of the Books of the Bible by Professor C. E. Stowe, 1868, pages 78- 79. “These all give substantially the same text that we now have. There are diversities among them, and divergences from our common text; and these are to be frankly acknowledged and their real importance fully indicated, without any attempt at concealment or palliation or apology. No ancient Greek manuscript hitherto discovered contains 1 John 5:7, There are three that bear record in heaven, etc.; in our common text the verse John 1:18, reads, The only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him, but the old Greek manuscripts read, The only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him; in Colossians 2:2, our common text reads, To the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ,
