The real text of Matthew 28:18,19

 

18 And Jesus, approaching, spoke unto them, saying, All authority was given to me in heaven and on earth. As my Father sent me, I also send you:
19 Go and make disciples of all nations in my name,
20 Teaching them to keep all that I have commanded you! And, behold, I am with you all the days, unto the end of the world.

Other notes:

 

 The text of the Shem Tob version omit "in Galilee", which shows that at origin, the angel did not refer to walking in Galilee, but only promised a meeting with Jesus. Then, Christ remembers Galilee (Matthew 28:10), but it is rather a sort of walking, a sort of going to a common meeting. Unfortunately, the early translators of the Hebrew autograph or Aramaic translation, who translated the Hebrew or Aramaic text at that time, did not understand what the reference is, and for this reason we now have texts in Matthew 28 which contradict the words of the Lord Jesus recorded in Luke 24:49, according to which the disciples they had to stay in Jerusalem until the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

In the Aramaic text of Matthew 28:18 exist the phrase "As my Father hath sent me, I also send you”, deleted later or ommitted from the Greek translation, tipical for trinitarian and other heretic scribes. This was noto  an isolated case, but habitual, they deleted, canged or mixed the text for doctrinal reasons.

          
The verse in Matthew 28:19 is taken in accordance with the Bible of the erudite bishop Lucian of Antioch (Christian martyr who lived in the third-fourth century), inherited by his disciple Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea and quoted before the Council of Nicea. Eusebius of Cesarea and Aprahates, two bishops at the Council of Nicaea in 325, quotes this verse differently.

 

A real concern: We have a changed text!

 

What Christians should see is that all those who were baptized in the formula "in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" are actually baptized according to the (invented) model of the Roman Catholic Church and not a practice of the Apostles. The Roman Catholic Church is a more moderate branch of early Gnostic trends.

And who has the "model" (prototype) can claim the product as his.

Cardinal Jesuit Augustin Bea, tacitly warned:

"The Pope is the "father of all believers", and for the evangelical believers who have valid baptism, only a love-loving return in the mother church is required." (O. Markmann, Irrtümer der katholischen Kirche, p. 22).

 

What does "valid baptism" mean in the opinion of the Roman Catholic Church? The one in the name of the "Holy Trinity".

 

Here's a small quote that explains everything:

"Thus, Pope John XIII in 1962 convened an Ecumenical Council II at the Vatican and told both the present Catholic body and the Protestant leaders to unite their cults with Rome (which happened in a vague way). The following formula was used: "You could join us because you have our baptism."

 

The missing pages:

 

This is another argument in support of the hypothesis of falsification.

 

"In the only Codice (version) in which we would have kept an older version, namely the Sinaitic Syrian version and in the oldest Latin manuscript, the pages containing the end of Matthew are missing." (F.C. Conybeare).

 

Unfortunately, the same fate had the Gothic Bible of the Bishop of the Goths, Wulfila, as long as it was preserved from it, it does not contain the last chapter of Matthew, and as the first of John would have expected. Who made these pages disappear from old codices and why?

 

 

“As my Father sent me, so send I you”

 

Another great omision, another argument for support the hypothesis of falsification.

 

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. As my Father sent me, so send I you (the Aramaic text, omitted from the Greek):

19 Go and make disciples of all nations, (the Hebrew version, the Greek version including and "baptizing" them) in my name (This kind of verse is taken according to the old Hebrew edition quoted by Rabbi Shem Tob of fourteenth-century Spain), and from the Bible of the non-Trinitarian bishop the scholar Lucian of Antioch (Christian martyr who lived in the III-IV century). This was inherited by his disciple Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, and quoted before the Council of Nicaea Eusebius of Caesarea and Aprahates of Syria, two bishops present at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but others also quote this verse differently from what we have today.),

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And, behold, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

The Christian Ordinances, Chapter X, Origin of the Trine Immersion:

 

This contains a very interesting historical note on Matthew 28:19.

One of the authors who wrote about the transformation of the text in Matthew 28:19 is the Baptist Christian Henry Forney (1829-1926). He wrote The History of the Church of God in the United States (1914). In 1883 he wrote The Christian Ordinances, and in Chapter X appears Origin of the Trine Immersion. He and other authors say that the "long baptismal formula" is a change from the original baptism that was performed only in the name of the Lord Jesus and that it spread from Asia to Africa and Europe. Until then, it was not known until after a certain Christian of Sicilian origin, Pantaneus, brought it from his Asian tour to Alexandria (Cairo, Africa), where he had settled. Here he formed a Christian school, from where this form of baptism spread further.

Pantaneus excelled in the struggle against Gnosticism, but it can be seen that in some respects he was influenced by them. That is, it was contaminated, it was gnosticized to some extent.

Gnostics were the first trinitarians.

From here, from this school, the third baptism spread to North Africa and Europe, not with little resistance, the bishop Stephen of Rome (third century) agreeing with those who baptized only in the name of Jesus. The third baptism was greatly encouraged by Bishop Cyprian of Carthage, North Africa. The last more compact and annotated resistance of history was given by the Western European Christian Church in the sixth century, which still opposed triple baptism, but in some places it survived even after that time, such as in the Irish and British Church (UK). The Pope of Rome, Pelagius (VI century), complained that there were still many Christians who were baptized only in the name of the Lord Jesus.

A significant number of scholars today admit that the original baptism was only in the name of the Lord Jesus. Yet why do we not have at least one biblical copy of this form other than a 14th-century manuscript? Take a close look at the images of the Inquisition, where the old Bibles were burned with their owners, and you can answer for yourself.

 

Statements of history and historians:

The most important historical sources confirm that the Christian church did not use a threefold name as a baptismal formula but invoked the Name of Jesus until the third century. Encyclopedia of Religions and Ethics (1951) vol. II, pp. 384, 389:

The formula used was "in the name of Jesus Christ" or phrases synonymous with it; there is no testimony regarding the three name… The earliest form, represented in the Acts of the Apostles, was the simple immersion in water, the use of the Name of Jesus and the laying on of hands. To these was added, in a time that cannot be established exactly, the thee name (Justin)”.

Explanatory Bible Dictionary (1962), vol. I, p. 351: "Evidence… Suggests that baptism in early Christianity was administered, not in the triune name, but in the Name of Jesus Christ or in the Name of the Lord Jesus."

Otto Heick, a renowned Christian historian (1947), p. 58: "The Trinitarian formula of baptism" took the place of the old formula of baptism "in the name of Jesus."

Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible (1898), vol. I, p. 241: "The original name of the words was" in the name of Jesus Christ "or" the Lord Jesus." Baptism in the name of the Trinity was a subsequent change."

Williston Walker, a Christian Church Historian (1947), p. 58 The Trinitarian Baptism Formula" Took the place of the Old Baptism „in the Name of Christ"

The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (1957), I, 435: "The New Testament testifies only to the baptism in the Name of Jesus… which was practiced until the third century"

Canney's Encyclopedia of Religions (1970), p. 53: "People were first baptized in the name of Jesus Christ" or "in the name of the Lord Jesus." and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.

Encyclopedia Biblica (1899), I, 473: "It is only normal to conclude that baptism was originally administered" in the name of Jesus Christ, "or" in the name of the Lord Jesus. "This view is confirmed by the fact that the early forms of baptismal witness were singular and not tripled, as was the later belief.

Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed. (1920), II 365: The Trinitarian formula and diving three times was not a uniform practice from the beginning… Baptism in the Name of Jesus is the New Testament formula. In the third century, baptism in the name of Christ was still so widespread that Pope Stephen declared it valid, opposing Cyprian of Carthage.

 

A brief reconstruction of what happened:

In the first and second centuries, a pseudo-Christian Jewish sect with Gnostic tendencies developed, called "Nazoreans" or "Nazarenes". In fact, they came to Christianity from a Jewish sect of the same name, close to the Essene ideas. When they became Christians, they came up with their own ideas, unifying their ideas with those of the Christians. They had an apocryphal gospel, called the Gospel of the Nazarenes or the Gospel of the Jews. It was a harmony of the four existing gospels, a kind of compilation of them, which included the specific doctrines of this heretical group. Outside of Judea, they were also known as encratites. They rejected the writings of the apostle Paul althogether. They did not eat meat, did not marry, did not drink wine, believed in the doctrine of the trinity and immortality of souls, and practiced triple baptism. From this syncretistic gospel the idea of ​​threefold baptism spread to Rome, through Justin the Martyr, and to the Middle East through Tatian, to northwestern India. Justin and Tatian were the promoters of this sect. Pantaneus of Alexandria, Egypt, an eminent Christian, former Stoic philosopher, was called by anxious leaders from Antioch and sent on a mediation tour with Gnostic sects or a tendency toward Gnosticism to return them from wandering back to church values. He succeeded in part, but in part he allowed himself to be contaminated by this group of Nazarenes and brought back to Alexandria certain doctrines of the above-mentioned group, such as the immortality of souls, the trinity, and the threefold baptism. From here it spread throughout North Africa, and especially to Carthage, which became a bastion and outpost of these doctrines to Europe.

 

In Conclusion:

In conclusion, Christians today should use the baptismal formula as found in the New Testament. Everyone should be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins.
