Distortion of the text of 2 Timothy (All Scripture is inspired)

 Distortion of the text of 2 Timothy (All Scripture is inspired)

* One of the dilemmas that Christians faced while trying to prove that the texts of their book are inspired by God and infallible from distortion is that the Holy Bible , with its Old and New Testaments, does not contain a single text that states that the texts of the Holy Bible are inspired by God !! Therefore, Christians held on to a text mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching , for reproof, for correction , for instruction in righteousness.” They said that what is meant by “all Scripture” in the text is the entire Holy Bible , with its Old and New Testaments !!! - For example, we find Deacon Dr. Emil Maher Ishaq , in his book (The Holy Bible - The Method of Its Correct Interpretation According to the Thought of the Right Fathers ) p. 42; He goes around asserting that the Bible is inspired in its entirety and verbally!!! And he used this text from Timothy as evidence that “all Scripture” includes the entire Bible without excluding any part of it!!! ...; But ..... by referring to the oldest and best manuscripts of the New Testament , we found that the text says (πασα γραφη = all Scripture) without a definite article , and there is not a single manuscript that mentioned (the book = η γραφη) as a definite article!! , and there is certainly a difference ; if we say that Paul mentioned to his disciple Timothy (the book = γραφη), then this is advice from Paul




















For his disciple to read any book inspired by God , and if it was proven that he said (the book = η γραφη), then the meaning would be that Paul is talking about a specific book that is well known to them and they believe that it is a holy book . ....; - like what Paul stated in Romans 11_2 Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? η​​​ ​γραφη )) The Bible - and also its statement in Romans 10-11 , “For the Scripture says: Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” λεγει γαρ η γραφη πας ο πιστευων επ The book is mentioned with the definite article η because it speaks about a specific book that is well known to those it speaks to (the Old Testament) ..; the text in the Sinaitic , Alexandrian , and Ephraimite manuscripts ; all mention (πασα γραφη = every book) without the definite article ; The text is transliterated from the Sinaitic: And as we see in the text (πασα γραφη = every book) without a definite article ; Meaning that Paul sent to Timothy his disciple saying to him : Any book inspired by God is useful ! ===; and by referring to the critical copies we found that all of them without exception mentioned the word without a definite article (book = γραφη) ; it is found with this pronunciation in the Nestle-Aland copy , and the Westcott - Hort copy .




























And the UBS version , and the Samuel Tregelles version, and the Tischendorf version , and other critical versions that relied on the oldest and best manuscripts of the New Testament ; and were prepared by the most knowledgeable people on earth about the text of the New Testament . The text in almost all of them was as follows: THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT: WESTTCOTT-HORT GNT-WH διδασκαλιαν δικαιοσυνη

The critical text agreed with what was mentioned in the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament, which confirms that the origin of the word is unknown (book = γραφη) and that Paul was talking about any inspired book and not a specific book.

===;
But... because this text is the only one before the Church Fathers to convince the common Christians that the words they sanctify are inspired by God ; the translators manipulated the text and added a definite article to the book from themselves so that the text would carry a meaning that might help them infer that the New Testament is inspired by God!!! .. ; So the text appeared in some translations ; such as the Van Dyck , the Common , the Sarah and the Pauline with the definite article ... (All scripture is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness) , and from the King James Version KJV and the Revised Standard Version RSV While many translations have made it clear that what is meant is any book or any sacred writing ; without defining the name of the book ((πασα γραφη = every book)) , such as the Catholic, Jesuit and many other old translations of the New Testament ( Everything that was written is inspired by God , useful for teaching , for reproof , for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness) , and several English versions such as (AMP - ASV - BBE - CEV - GW -RV ... and others) Every scripture inspired by God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. === ؛ which






















It has become clear to us that the text has been tampered with to suit the thinking of the Church ; however , despite this , we find that most Christian scholars have admitted that this text does not speak about the New Testament at all ; rather, it speaks about the Old Testament only!! ... Even if we ignore the distortion of the text , we will find that Christian scholars could not prove that this text speaks about the New Testament at all ; rather, they said that it speaks about the Old Testament only!! * We read from the book Is the Bible Alone Enough ? Reviewed and presented by Bishop Raphael, General Bishop , p. 54 (Paul cannot mean the New Testament because it did not exist when Timothy was .... Rather, he meant the books of the Old Testament) , * And from the interpretation of the New Testament by Dr. William Barclay, Professor of the New Testament at the University of Glasgow, p. 273 (The book that Paul is talking about is the Old Testament because , of course, the New Testament had not yet appeared ) , * And from the book The Cultural Background of the Bible, The New Testament. Craig S. Keener, p. 81 (The Holy Books that were in Timothy’s time were the Old Testament only) , *From the book Introductions to the Holy Bible by Father Paul Al-Feghali, p. 57 (Until the end of the century

















The second... The "Bible" of the early Christians is the Old Testament )


,
* and this is what the scholar "Adam Clarke" confirmed in his book Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible ; he comments on the King James text and is the reference in English interpretations . 2ti 3:16 - all scripture is given by inspiration of God – this sentence is not well translated; the original πασα γραφη θεοκνευστος ωφιλιμος προς διδασκαλιαν, κ. τ. λ. Should be rendered: Every writing divinely inspired is profitable for doctrine, etc. Translation: (The sentence was not translated well, and all the writings of divine inspiration should be fit for learning), which means that everything that God inspires is useful and we can learn from it, and we do not disagree with this meaning, but the manipulation of the translation of the sentence led to giving testimony to the book that it came all by divine inspiration and is fit for learning, and all the book is inspired by God and is fit for learning.) What confirms this fact is that the early church fathers did not believe in the Gospels as a holy book , and none of them tried to collect them in a holy book at all!! - Professor John Krafidopoulos says in his book History of the New Testament Canon , p. 4: (Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis Phrygia in the early second century , although he knew the written Gospels , he relied on the living tradition more than he relied on them ..... The books of the New Testament were not known in this era as a book

- And Greg D. Allert says in his book A High View of the Holy Scriptures , p. 163: ( Polycarp never refers to any of the canonized gospels as holy books ... We do not see in the Apostolic Fathers a deliberate act of collecting them nor any evidence that they saw them as an accurate collection ) === ; * Finally: The reader who contemplates the books of the Holy Bible will realize that these books do not claim to be written by inspiration of God, but quite the opposite, he will find texts that state that these books came as a result of human “authorship” that may be right or wrong , and may be “ weak and shortcoming” ; and that they are the result of human effort in collecting , “scrutinizing” and “tracking”, and that they were written for personal purposes ; As in (Luke 1/1-4) “Many have undertaken to compile a narrative… It seemed good to me also , having investigated everything carefully from the beginning , to write to you in order , most excellent Theophilus . ” - And in Luke 3:23 it is mentioned that he was writing according to people’s assumption “Now Jesus , when he began , was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed , the son of Joseph, the son of Heli . ” - And so personal matters were often introduced into it that had nothing to do with revelation ; As in 2 John 1:13 “ Your sister’s children greet you .”










The Chosen One
-
In 3 John 1:13-15 he did not write everything in the hope that he would meet his friend and then send his greetings to his loved ones . “ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink. But I hope to see you soon and speak face to face. Peace be upon you. The beloved greet you . ” Greet your friends by name - Paul also considered them personal letters and sent his greetings and salutations to his friends ; as in 1 Corinthians, the end of chapter 16 : “ Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord , with the church that is in their house. 20The brothers all greet you . Greet one another with a holy kiss . 21 Greetings from my own hand , Paul . Then we come to the chapter of very personal greetings and salutations in Romans 16 : “ I commend to you our sister Phoebe . Greet Priscilla and Aquila . Greet my beloved Epaenetus . Greet Mary . Greet … greet ... He dictated the message and did not forget to send his personal greetings , which the Christians added to the holy words of the Lord !! “I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, deliver









Upon you in the Lord
...;
These texts - and many others - of a very clear human nature in the Holy Bible (especially in the New Testament ) were a major reason for the disagreement about the nature of the inspiration of these books, and about determining a list of the books inspired by God ! ...; And if someone rejects this statement and insists that the Holy Bible is inspired by God ; then would this one of them tell us : - What is the name of this book that he believes in its sanctity , and what is the number of its books , and how did he get to it ?
