Who Were Wescott & Hort?

The sermon presents a stark warning against modern Bible translations by accusing the 19th-century scholars Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort of being heretical figures whose work has corrupted the biblical text. Drawing from Acts 20:28–30 and Matthew 7:15–18, it frames these scholars as 'ravenous wolves' who, through their revision of the Greek New Testament based on the disputed Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, introduced 8,413 changes that undermine core Christian doctrines such as the deity of Christ, the atonement, the resurrection, and the literal truth of Scripture. The sermon contends that Westcott and Hort were influenced by Gnosticism, evolution, universalism, and occultism, and that their rejection of the Textus Receptus—the received text trusted by the Church for 1,800 years—was a deliberate act of spiritual deception. It concludes by urging believers to reject all modern English versions except the King James Bible, which it portrays as the only faithful, divinely preserved translation, and calls for vigilance in avoiding those who cause division by promoting corrupted texts, asserting that the true source of division lies not in preserving the original Word, but in altering it without divine authority.
