The following verse contains a fraud perpetuated in the 500s AD, according to abundant proofs provided by no less a person than Sir Isaac Newton -- one of the greatest Christian scientists in world history:
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. KJV.
The word "God" in this passage is due to a fraud.
The misleading implication is that the dependent clauses are defined by a single antecedent -- "God was" -- and this is what logically you hear with this single word "God" added:
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, [God was] justified in the Spirit, [God was] seen of angels, [God was] preached unto the Gentiles, [God was] believed on in the world, [God was] received up into glory. KJV.
This verse in the KJV was used to prove Jesus was God in the time period after 1611. Newton researched it, and did for no reward except the kingdom itself, and did a detailed work in 1690 entitled "A Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture." He published it anonymously, as it was subject to criminal retaliation in that era. But in time, his role emerged, and his work was so incredibly thorough that no one could refute him.
Here are some quotes:
"What the Latines have done to this text the Greeks have done to that of S. Paul 1 Tim. 3.16. For by changing Ο in ΟΣ & both into ΘΣ (the abbreviation of Θεὸς) they now read Great is the mystery of godlinesse God manifested in the flesh: whereas all the Churches for the first four or five hundred years, & the authors of all the ancient Versions, Jerome as well as the rest, read, ‘Great is the mystery of godliness which was manifested in the flesh.’ For this is the common reading of the Ethiopic, Syriac & Latine Versions to this day, Jerome's manuscripts having given him no occasion to correct the old Vulgar Latine in this place. Grotius adds the Arabic, but the Egyptian Arabic Version has Θεὸς, & so has the above mentioned Sclavonian Version of Cyrillus. For these two Versions were made long after the sixth Century wherein the corruption began"
"With the ancienter Versions agree the writers of the first five Centuries both Greeks & Latines. For they in all their discourses to prove the Deity of the Son, never allege this text (that I can find,) as they would all have done, & some of them frequently, had they read God manifested in the flesh, & therefore they read Ὃ.”
“Tertullian adversus Praxeam & Cyprian adversus Iudæos industriously cite all the places where Christ is called God, but have nothing of this. Alexander of Alexandria, Athanasius, the Bishops of the Council of Sardica, Epiphanius, Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, Gregory Nyssen, Chrysostom, Cyril of Ierusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, Cassian; Also Hilary, Lucifer, Ierome, Ambrose, Austin, Phœbadius, Victorinus Afer, Faustinus Diaconus, Pope Leo the great, Arnobius junior, Cereatis, Vigilius Tapsensis, Fulgentius wrote all of them in the fourth & fift Centuries for the Deity of the Son & incarnation of God, & some of them largely & in several Tracts; & yet I cannot find that they ever allege this text to prove it excepting [sic: accepting] that. G. Nyssen once urges it, if the passage crept not into him out of some marginal {annotation}. In all the times of the hot & lasting Arian controversy it never came into play, thô now those disputes are over they that read God manifested in the flesh think it one of the most obvious & pertinent texts for the businesse.”
Greatly supporting his claim of a 6th century fraud was that the Latin Vulgate of 405 AD was missing "God" in 1 Tim. 3:16. The Vulgate reads:
"And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.” Latin Vulgate 405 AD.
Isaac Newton attributed this fraud thus to the Greek scribes of the 500s AD:
“Now for the Greeks, I find indeed that they have changed the ancient reading of the text not only in the MSS of S. Paul’s Epistles but also in other authors, & yet there are still remaining sufficient instances among them of what the reading was at first. So in Chrysostom's Commentary on this Epistle they have now gotten θεὸς into the text & yet by considering the Commentary it self I am satisfied that he read ὃ. For he neither in this Commentary nor any where else infers the Deity of Christ from this text nor expounds it as they do who read θεὸς, but with the Latines & others who read ὃ understands by it Christ incarnate, or as he expresses it Man made God & God made man, & so leaves it at liberty to be taken for either God or Man.”
These were altered back into actual writings by the leading Church commentators by anomalous readings. See the video for more
