I've been praying to God to be directed to the True Word.
I've had this odd, directed drive to examine bibles over the last few weeks, noticing that certain passages feel 'spiritually-wrong', which has lead to discovering just how corrupted the lineage of bibles has been in any modern translation. I've bought multiple versions from Garage Sales over the last few weeks and have compared these passages.
It goes even further back than the modern translations though. I thought my Grandmother's mid-century bible, which predated Vatican II, might be safe, but I started looking more closely at the text. It's a 'Confraternity' translation: this was a gathering of multiple faiths (nwo/globalism) working together to agree upon a shared translation. By the time of the New American Bible (1970), they're removing references to the Holy Trinity and Jesus entirely from the New Testament.
It was interesting to notice how many corruptions all stem from Protestants throughout the 19th Century, but I have always been wary of the King James Bible itself.
I'm a Roman Catholic, who grow up in the post-Vatican II 'modern' church, and always felt a lack of the presence of God. How did I get to 45 years old without discovering there's a specific Roman Catholic Bible, the Douai-Rheims, which is a direct translation of the Latin Vulgate, complete with annotations and marginal notes.
This was done between 1582 and 1610. Ownership of this version of the Bible was outlawed and frequently resulted in a death sentence from Protestants for roughly 150 years, until it was 'revised' by Bishop Challoner in the mid 1700's. Critics at the time say it was less a revision, and more 'an entirely new work', as it was designed to conform to the King James Version. Unfortunately, this is the version that is most frequently sold in modern shops, labelled as the Douai-Rheims.
It's amazing the air of silence and obsfucation around the original 1582 work, almost as if it's deliberately-cultivated. I don't believe in co-incidence.
Since it's in middle-English, the spellings are archaic, but it's not that difficult to read once you understand the substitutions.
This is the Lord's Prayer as written in Matthew. All I have done is update the spelling of the words, not the words themselves.
"Thus therefore shall you pray. Our Father which art in heaven, sanctified be thy name. Let thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven in Earth also. Give us today our supersubstantial bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tentatio. But deliver us from evil. Amen".
Note Supersubstantial vs Daily. It's speaking of the Eucharist as a Supernatural Force. Since the Protestants don't believe in Transubstantiation, you can see why the message was suppressed.
Also note Tentatio. This is from the three ways to correctly learn the truth of God's Word listed in Psalms: Oratio, Mediato, Tentatio. Oratio is Prayer. Mediato is Meditation. They're self evident.
But what of Tentatio? This is unique Christian belief, once again, obscured by the King James. It means 'agonizing internal struggle'. As you pray and meditate, it is understood the Devil will work against you, as explained here:
"In the case of tentatio the devil’s tool is not to tempt toward sin, which he certainly does in other cases. Rather, through trial and temptation, suffering and affliction, opposition and persecution, the devil causes agonizing internal struggle and doubt in the heart of the one occupied with God’s Word. He makes it seem that God is failing us, is not living up to His Word, and does not care."
Very interesting. My own life experience has taught me suffering and struggle resulted in the strengthening of my faith, after the internal battles that resulted from the suffering.
Pray, Meditate, and overcome your Internal Agonies via Faith in the Lord.
Pray the Rosary.
