Affected Teaching
In Luke 22:64, we have another attack upon the Lord Jesus Christ. This time they
have attacked and removed the part where the Lord Jesus Christ began to suffer
at the hands of the people. We are told here that they had blindfolded Him and
struck Him on the face. According to Matthew 26:67-68, after the rulers of the
Jews had examined Jesus, they began to spit on Him, hit Him with their fists,
and struck Him on the face. All of this was even before He was delivered unto
Pilate. To remove the section of Scripture in Luke where we read that Jesus was
being struck on the face, is to remove part of the suffering He underwent for
the sins of His people. Probably this portion of Scripture was removed in the
second century by a man named Marcion who was a heretic and had a copy of the
book of Luke which he mutilated until it fit the pattern of the Arian and
Gnostic beliefs. Once again we are seeing that the modern versions are
descendants of the Arian and Gnostic views. Unfortunately, the modern version
editors heartily agree with these antichrists of the second century as they have
continued to include their ungodly attacks. Luke 22:64 is a fulfillment of
two Old Testament Prophecies, so not only are they attacking the sufferings of
Christ, they are also attacking the verity of Scripture.
(Isa 50:6 KJV) I gave my back to the smiters,
and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame
and spitting.
(Micah 5:1 KJV) Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid
siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the
cheek.
How can anyone, who uses a modern version, actually think they are using a “Holy
Bible” since they have been engineered to fit world belief systems outside of
Christianity.
