The word 'vulgate' is Latin for vulgaror common.The Old Latin Vulgate is a version.
It was used by early believers in Europe when Latin was in popular
use. It was sometimes referred to as the Itala version.
The Old Latin Vulgatemust not be confused
with Jerome's Vulgate, which was produced over 220 years later
in AD 380. Jerome's Vulgate (also written in Latin for the Roman
Church) was rejected by the early Christians for almost a millennium.
The Waldenses, Gauls, Celts, Albegenses and other groups
throughout Europe used the Old Latin Vulgate and rejected
Jerome's Vulgate. In his book An Understandable History of
the Bible Rev. Samuel Gipp Th.D confirms this fact. He writes:
Quote:
"The Old Latin Vulgate was used
by the Christians in the churches of the Waldenses, Gauls, Celts,
Albegenses and other fundamental groups throughout Europe. This
Latin version became so used and beloved by orthodox Christians
and was in such common use by the common people that it assumed
the term 'Vulgate' as a name. Vulgate comes from 'vulgar'
which is the Latin word for 'common' It was so esteemed for
its faithfulness to the deity of Christ and its accurate reproductions
of the originals, that these early Christians let Jerome's Roman
Catholic translation 'sit on the shelf.' Jerome's translation
was not used by the true Biblical Christians for almost a millennium
after it was translated from corrupted manuscripts by Jerome in
380 A.D. Even then it only came into usage due to the
death of Latin as a common language, and the violent, wicked persecutions
waged against true believers by Pope Gregory IX during his reign
from 1227 to 1242 A.D." (Ref:B2)
David Fuller confirms this fact: "It is clearly
evident that the Latin Bible of early British Christianity was
not the Latin Bible (Vulgate) of the Papacy." (Ref:F9)
AUTHENTIC KING JAMES VERSION HOLY BIBLES PRINTED BETWEEN 1611 and 1872 Comparing the Texts of these Bibles with a modern un-corrupt KJV shows that the Authorized Version of 1611 has never gone through a single Textual Revision and proves that God has indeed kept his promise to preserve his pure word.
Compare these scripture verses, John 14:16, John 16:7, I Corinthians 1:18, II Corinthians 2:15, Revelation 1:18 and Revelation 20:13,14, in modern bible versions such as the NIV and the NKJV and you will see that the KJV's superior "Comforter" has been replaced by a subordinate "helper"; and the assurance of our present salvation here and now where we "are saved" by grace through faith has been replaced by a works-based salvation where we are in the process of "being saved" by our own good works and by performing superstitious rituals; and the word "hell" has been omitted thereby obscuring its philological meaning.
It is no coincident that new bible versions agree with the Jehovah Witnesses' New World Translation and the Roman Catholic Douay Rheims Bible. For those who take the time to "search the scriptures daily" and "search out a matter" and do their own research, the serpent's signature can be seen throughout new bible versions, as there is overwhelming evidence exposing the nature of the unholy omissions, additions and substitutions and the spiritual forces responsible for the changes.
In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (Matt. 18:16; II Cor. 13:1)Recommended Reading
