Today's program may be difficult to follow because there are a lot of charts and diagrams that detail the descent of the two lines of translations.

There is the Traditional line that came from Antioch, Assyria. This is the line that we get the Textus Receptus and that is the major portion of the Kind James translation. The only Bible in existence today from this manuscript is the King James Translation.

The other line is from Alexandra Egypt. They requested manuscripts from Antioch and that is how they got their manuscripts. Shortly after they received them, Origin made his own Greek manuscripts deleting what he didn't like or agree with. He put in a lot of the Hellenistic way of thinking. These manuscripts that derived from Origen eventually became the property of the Roman Catholic Church. This line eventually split into the Latin Vulgate and the Westcott-Hort manuscript. The Latin Vulgate which was translated into the English language (Douey-Rheims) and is what the Catholic Church uses today. Westcott and Hort did not believe in the deity of Christ or creation and their Greek manuscripts were used for all the modern day English version Bibles used today including the New King James.

This is a very brief description of the charts that are used in this program. You can watch it on YouTube on my channel there.
