Matthew 8:29

It will be one year on July 10th since I started this group and since then we have looked at 68 verses of Scripture and within those 68 verses there have been 550 words deleted, omitted, or changed which means approximately 8 words average per verse. This to me is really perverse. Keep in mind that these 550 words are only within 68 verses. The Old Testament contains 23,144 verses and the New Testament contains 7,957 verses for total of 31,101 verse in the entire Bible. Can you imagine the total corruption if we analyzed every verse in the Bible?


Matthew 8:29
(KJV) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?


(NIV) "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"
(NASV) And they cried out, saying, "What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"
(ESV) And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
(1901 ASV) And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
(HCSB) Suddenly they shouted, "What do You have to do with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"
(RSV) And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
(NAB-Roman Catholic) They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?"
(NWT-Jehovah‘s Witness) And, look! they screamed, saying: “What have we to do with you, Son of God? Did you come here to torment us before the appointed time?”

Affected Teachings
Here is another attack on the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. His name “Jesus” has been omitted from the three basic corrupted manuscripts and no reason is given for this omission. In fact, there is nothing mentioned as to why his name was omitted. This omission attempts to detach the Lord Jesus Christ from His divine title as “Son of God.” This verse is one of approximately 125 verses in the New Testament in which the modern versions omit some part of His divine title.

The demons knew exactly who He was since they were up in Heaven with Him before the rebellion of Satan and their expulsion from heaven. This is why they specifically mentioned Him by name and they also knew that they were heading for eternal judgment and that is why they questioned Him on that subject.
