The Greek language was used to write the New Testament. In the time of Jesus and the Apostles the type of Greek language is called "Koine". The original Koine Greek language was written in all upper case letters and had no spaces or punctuation. The modern translations of the bible today must place punctuation where they think it belongs. The problem with this is that these translators were either not converted people with GODS holy spirit or false Christians and this led to many incorrect ideas that severely affected doctrines. I will give several examples of these punctuation errors.
Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name saying, that I am Christ, and will deceive many."
Notice where the translators placed the comas in the above scripture. I have in bold blue the words "will come in my name" to demonstrate the error. If you came in another persons name do you claim to be that person ? No you do not. If you are on trial for a crime and you hire a lawyer to represent you, to come before the court "in your name" would your lawyer claim he is you ? This verse is incorrectly understood to say that many would come claiming to be Jesus but that cannot be the case. The truth of this verse is that many people would come "in the name of Jesus", telling people they come in his name, they will say that Jesus was the messiah but in the process deceive many people. This was a prophecy of Jesus about the modern day preachers, who come in the name of Christ, but deceive many with a false gospel.
Hebrews 5:6-7 "As HE says in another place: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek; who in the days of his flesh, when he offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to HIM who was able to save him from death, and was heard because of his GODLY fear,"
The dark red words show that the word "who" is not referring to Jesus but Melchizedek, it is a well know rule of grammar that "who" in this sentence refers back to the last person mentioned in the sentence. The dark blue words especially "vehement cries and tears" are nowhere used to describe how Jesus behaved in Gethsemane where he prayed before his crucifixion. There is no mention of Jesus vehemently crying with tears in any of the scriptures. This was actually Melchizedek doing the vehement cries with tears.
The words in dark green say that whoever it was that prayed with vehement cries and tears "was heard" indicating that he was saved from death which we know that GOD did not save Jesus from death but HE did save Melchizedek by sending Abraham to defeat Chedorlaomer and three other kings. Melchizedek was king of Salem and realized that Salem was only about 15 miles from Sodom and Gomorrah which were two of the five cities that stopped paying tribute to Chedorlaomer. Melchizedek was terrified that his city of Salem would also suffer destruction. This has nothing to do with Jesus until verse 8. Some bible translations actually take the liberty of changing verse 7 to say "During the days of Jesus' earthly life.." when none of the literal translations do this.
Luke 23:43 "Jesus answered him, truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
Even Jesus did not ascend to paradise until 40 days after his resurrection.
Acts 1:9 "After saying this he was taken up as they watched and a cloud received him out of their sight."
This fact alone shows the incorrect placement of the commas in Luke 23:43. In order to make the other events in scripture agree with Luke 23:43 so as not to have scripture broken.
John 10:35 "If HE called them gods to whom the word of GOD came - and scripture cannot be broken-"
The false translation of Luke 23:43 breaks the truth of the scripture therefore it is an incorrect translation and should be:
Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said to him, truly I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise."
The above true translation will then agree with other verses of scripture like;
John 20:17 "Jesus said to her, do not cling to me for I have not yet ascended to my Father."
Jesus said this after his resurrection from being 3 days and 3 nights dead in the tomb. So, where was the thief if not even Jesus went to Paradise until his ascension 40 days later. The uninspired commas of the translators change the truth of this verse.
A person that has the holy spirit is enabled by the spirit to discern these translation errors and there are many more than these three examples I have given. There are also errors in the translation of words or the order of words in a sentence. Remember that even if some translators were false Christians the false beliefs they had would greatly influence their translations. If any modern translation violates the flow of GODS truth then it is in error. These bad translations are the cause of all the false doctrines in all the false churches.
