The CRITICAL TEXT removes "FASTING" when casting out demons.

[@jawraw777]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it, brother.

[@juniorjones5137]

Great channel just discovered i am a pastor Calvary chapel background I have had this agrument with Word of faith people who beleive this kind is a reference to faith not the demon they hate the lack of fasting it effects their urgement

[@cvanhaelst4189]

When one believes the author of this verse was Jesus and knows His lifestyle was concreted, the context means more than not eating a meal. It means total dedication and connection to God.

[@billcovington5836]

From one of your other videos, I got the 17 verses that were excluded from the critical text and as I began to go through them, on this particular verse I said to myself, even if it was never part of Matthew, it was God-breathed in Mark 9:29. So I asked myself, is it still true? That’s good enough for me. Now “fasting” I’m not sure, but better safe than sorry.

The NAS'20 doesn't have vs 21, but the NAS'95 and LSB does.

#1. Dr Edgar Ebojo a Filipino Pentecostal who is on the NA29/UBS6 committee has written an interesting article on the textual problem, the theology and the praxis of this text.

[@Matthew-307]

Does the fasting & prayer make it possible to cast out the demon, or the unbelief? I think it’s the unbelief.

[@Θεόφιλος-μ4η]

Could it be that, rather than being omitted by 0.3% manuscripts dating from the 4th century, it could have been a 5th century emendation, multiplied in the 10th-12th century whence the 99.7%?

[@sweetcreamsdairygoats]

Love this! I felt called to fast before Easter this year but didn't know why. During the fast, I sought scripture on fasting to better understand it. All the scripture was from the King James...I was so floored about it not being in my ESV...guess my call to fast was the call to dive deeply into God's Word. I have been learning so much about the entire issues with modern translations. I am grateful for you bringing this topic up.

[@eclipsesonic]

It's interesting, because you looked at the NASB 2020 edition (which only has Matthew 17:21 in the footnotes), whereas the 1977 and 1995 editions do have Matthew 17:21 in the main body of the text, but in brackets.

[@Dwayne_Green]

Right, and 'in brackets' means the committee doesn't think it's original. Now I don't think the NASB is a "BAD" translation per se, but I believe that passage is part of the Bible and should be in there.

[@cvanhaelst4189]

Using Jesus, the author of the text as our example, fasting certainly applies to a consecrated life, not just missing a meal.

[@JAHtony1111]

Geneva bible says prayer and fasting too.

[@ronester1]

Geneva bible is also based on the same manuscripts as KJV-the Textus Receptus

[@JAHtony1111]

@@ronester1 exactly. Only more so for geneva bible. King james copied chapter and verse style, but changed many of genevas greek words to catholic words. But the kjv is closest to geneva than other versions.

[@ronester1]

@JAHtony1111 Lately, I've been looking for other Reformation Protestant Era bibles for this very reason. Check out the October Testament, also called New Matthew Bible it's based on the Matthew Bible, another TR based bible printed in the 1500s. I still like reading the KJV and NKJV because it's a classic but when I need to use a different version I'm really turned off by the modern Bible's using the critical text as their basis and so many verses missing much like was mentioned in this video.

[@danm8336]

Good videos brother! Videos like these are making me more and more persuaded on the majority text position. So with the critical text is their only explanation it’s older so it’s the right one or do they have more arguments? I’m new to this stuff so I don’t know much. Also, I believe in Matthew 5:22 The KJV and the NKJV say, whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of judgment. I think most of the new Bibles removed without a cause. Does without a cause have the majority manuscript support? Keep up the good work brother.

[@Dwayne_Green]

Hi Dan! Textual decisions are typically made with more than just "Older is better", However, they tend to weigh older manuscripts more heavily than the Byzantine bulk. Often times, like in these instances, Vaticanus and Siniaticus tend to push a decision over the edge. I tend to disagree with the amount of weight given to the two.

[@70_X_7]

Any thoughts on the 1Cor. 7:5 “and fasting” variant in relationship to “and fasting” in Mark 9:29? Seems odd that fasting is getting the ✂️. Wondering if 1Cor. 7:5 has a strong majority text witness. Thanks!

[@Dwayne_Green]

I'll have to take a look!

[@TheRootedWord]

14:27 because we never address gluttony head on and we do not require Christians to stop that sin. They cannot practice homosexuality but they can practice gluttony. In the eastern churches, like here in Ukraine, many Christians fast weekly as a Christian discipline like praying daily. I challenge you to join in on this ancient Church practice of Romans 12.1-2 offering your bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is your REASONABLE worship.

[@TheRootedWord]

16:43 Dwayne, don't downplay this issue and commit the same error they are committing here. 2 Peter 2.1-3 gives the identifying features of false teachers. It does not say that all or most of their teachings will be false or that they won't preach mostly the truth. It says they will introduce damnable heresies that others will take up for themselves and follow their ways to perdition. BE CAREFUL!

[@TheRootedWord]

14:10 And so you are seeing what I preach against in those apostate churches! The Reductionist gospel! They blur things together and brush details aside that are critical to the Gospel message and the practice of the Christian faith in the Church. This is a clear indication of an irreverent heart and those men must be avoided. I am talking about Got Answers, but also those who hold to the Critical Text.

[@hefinjones9051]

#2. On the Mark 9.29 variant the ECM editors were divided and there's a split decision recorded in their textual comments.

[@hefinjones9051]

You mentioned the split line. Read textual comments on split lines. They're linked in the online version. In this case the aged editors stuck with Aland and the younger whippersnappers wanted to include fasting....

[@hefinjones9051]

As David Palmer very recently pointed out and others have done before, no one fasts in this context but someone does pray and the prayer is answered.

[@jamessheffield4173]

Burgon (14) p 91, 206 states that every extant uncial except Aleph and B and every extant cursive except one contain the verse. Of the versions, the Old Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopic and Slavonic attest to the verse, with only the Curetonian Syriac and Sahidic omitting it. He cites additional ancient authorities including: 2nd Century: Tertullian; 3rd Century: Origen; 4th Century: Ambrose, Athanasius, Augustine, Basil, Chrysostom, Hilary, Juvencus; 8th Century: Clement of Syria, John Damascene. Burgon also cites the Syriac version of the Canons of Eusebius and the readings of the entire Eastern Church on the l0th Sunday after Pentecost from the earliest period, in favour of the verse. Berry's Greek text supports this passage. Bing search

[@rodneyjackson6181]

I agree with you Dwayne on this one big time. Fasting is a huge deal and the fact that the Critical Text does not have this is concerning. Example A of why I dont lean to any one family of manuscripts. I think the CT has its issues as well as the TR inserting a quite a bit of Latin. Because of this, I can see why you lean toward the Byzantine Priority. I am glad however, my NLT does footnote these verses so I can read them. Blessings!!

Have you done a study on Jude 5?
