The New Testament is translated from original Greek. There are over 5000 ancient manuscripts surviving. The modern English versions are from one text from Alexandria, Egypt, assuming that older is better. It reflects what you might expect from the Alexandrian School of philosophers. It is identified with Origen and Westcott-Hort. Modernist liberals and unbelievers prefer it because it systematically removes the deity of Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, turning the Bible into a social gospel. What you have to do to be convinced of the corruption of the modern translations is to do a survey of long lists of scriptures to see the consistent changes, and conclude it is systematic and deliberate. From Europe to the Near East, 95% of the Bibles were based upon the text known as the Byzantine, Antioch, Textus Receptus, or majority text.
