Hebrews

'''Bible doctrines affected by modern versions''' <p>Heb 1:3 "<strong>When he had by himself purged our sins</strong>" is changed to "when he had made purification of sins." The omission of the word "our" leaves us to wonder whose sins were purged, his own or others. It is not plain and therefore the substitutionary atonement of Christ is affected by the change. With the words "by himself" the Holy Spirit wanted us to see that the atonement for our sins was accomplished by Christ alone. The damage to this verse is awesome in its' consequences.</p> <p>Heb 3:1 "<strong>Christ</strong>" is omitted. Our High Priest must be anointed of God to that office and the word Christ means the Messiah or Anointed one of God.</p> <p>Heb 10:34 "<strong>in heaven</strong>" is left out. Those who had lost all their earthly goods certainly had no enduring substance here, but in heaven was their treasure and reward.</p> [[Category:Studies and Guides]] [[Category:Bible]]
