The First Printing Press

  • The Bible is one of the first books printed.

  • New light being shed to those who read it.

  • The man-made trinity doctrine is still entrenched and embraced by the churches.

 

The Bible is one of the first books printed

Between 1454 and 1455 AD, Johannes Gutenberg printed his first major work, the Gutenberg Bible, on his new movable type printing press.  The first ever of its kind, his press would revolutionize European book-making and usher in the “Age of the Printed Book.”
The Gutenberg Bible took five years to prepare for and print.  Each Bible was comprised of two volumes, 1282 pages each.  180 copies were printed and assembled, with only 48 known to survive to today.

 

New light being shed to those who read it


Gutenberg’s new printing press is widely credited with fueling the Protestant Reformation, as ideas and documents were able to spread across much of The Holy Roman Empire.

 

The man-made trinity doctrine is still entrenched and embraced by the churches.

Although the Bible and its messages were now being circulated among the people, the translation to English was performed primarily by those who believed the trinity doctrine. Hence, words were added to reflect this such as in Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (Us and our, were added by the translators and are not in the original). The original Scripture literally says "Elohlym make mankind in resemblance likeness, dominion fish sea, birds air, cattle over earth, creeping animals on earth." The next Scripture says: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (27. Johannes Gutenberg, Meggs, Philip B. A History of Graphic Design) Notice that the added words such as us and our have no references in concordances or Bible Study Software because the original text doesn't contain these words. (28.
