Look at the absolute contradiction. One set of bibles (the American Standard Version, the New American Standard Version, the Revised Version, the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version, and the New International Version) say that the prophet Isaiah said what you are about to read (the quotation cited in Mark 1:2-3); the other set of Bibles (Tyndale, Geneva, and the Authorized Version) say that what you are about to read are quotations from more than one prophet.

Now! Apply these rules—the great “SCIENTIFIC rules” of Textual Criticism that you owe to Griesbach!

Don’t forget the “shorter reading”! Don’t forget the “more difficult readings”! Don’t forget the “style” of the author! Don’t overlook transpositions, eye-wandering, dittography, haplography, omissions, or attempts to harmonize! Look out for the abbreviations; avoid the “nonsense readings”! Beware of PHONETISMS (spelling a word wrongly by spelling it the way it SOUNDS, such as “Bibul" for “Bible”). Apply the “genealogical method”! Give Vaticanus the precedence! Never forget—oh, never forget—that in this great “Christian work” of “restoring” to the world the “meaning and intent of the original author,” you are a collaborator with TYNDALE and WYCLIFFE! You are God’s “chosen elect,” destined before the foundation of the world TO RID THE WORLD OF THE AUTHORIZED VERSION AND RESTORE “THE ORIGINAL TEXT”!

Ready! On your marks! Get set . . . GO! THEEYY’RRE OFF!

Way off. They are off their rockers. They are just as nutty as a pecan praline.

There are TWO quotations in Mark 1:2-3, and Isaiah did NOT give both of them: Malachi gave one (Mal. 3:1).

Murphy: once a job is fouled up, all improvements just make it worse.

So, what happened?

The Revised Version, the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version, the American Standard Version, the New American Standard Version, and the New International Version made a liar out of God on the basis of K (Sinaiticus), B (Vaticanus), Uncials L and Delta (see Appendix Two), Cursives 33, 565, 892, 1241, and good old ADAMANTIUS ORIGEN, WHO HAD JUST KNOCKED OUT “THE SON OF GOD” FROM THE FIRST VERSE. Uncial D (Western) put “Isaiah” in and so did Irenaeus, as did a dozen Old Latin manuscripts that Origen messed up (b, c, d, f, ff2, I, q, and the good old Latin Vulgate out of North Africa). Naturally, Constantine’s boot-licking right-hand man Eusebius sided with Origen against the Holy Spirit, and so did Augustine and Jerome: birds of a feather nest together.

Constantine—Jerome—Origen—Eusebius— Augustine—Hort—the New American Standard Version—Aland—the American Standard Version— Metzger—the Revised Standard Version— Vaticanus―the New Revised Standard Version—Sinaiticus. History has made its own comment.

The absolute truth is that Malachi 3:1 is found even in the margin of Nestle’s text: he knew Isaiah didn’t say it. Griesbach’s excruciating “SCIENTIFIC method” just turned his head into a pumpkin, and out the window went the Truth, the Holy Scriptures, the “intent of the Author,” the meaning of the passage, and the cross references to other verses in the Bible—in ONE shot. Eighteen hundred years of educated stupidity have not taught the Scholar’s Union ONE thing about “preserving the truth.
