The fact that they're changing it is already too much.
>was created by a committee of evangelical Germans in the 19th century that made decisions on what to include
The problem is worse, because ever since then they keep changing it with more and more committees, and going in many different directions with the different versions. I believe this is part of Satan's goal in creating a flood of false versions to confuse regular people.
>purely based on creating a text as different as possible from the Catholic and Orthodox texts
I wouldn't say that, because the DRB and versions like that has a lot of the same removals as the critical text. In Matthew 5:22, for instance, or 1 John 4:3, or Ephesians 3:9. Compare the three variations:
Matthew 5. 22.
>KJV: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
>NLT: But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!
>NIV: But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.
>DRB: But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment.
Notice how the lower three all remove the words "without a cause." This is because the Greek version they use in their manuscripts are missing those words.
Another two examples:
1 John 4. 3.
>KJV And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
<NASB and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God;
<CSB (2k17) but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
<DRB And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God:
Again, all three of the lower versions remove the words "Christ is come in the flesh" from 1 John 4:3. Third example:
Ephesians 3. 9.
>KJV: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
>NIV: and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
>ESV (2001): and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,
>DRB: And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:
Notice how all three of these extra versions remove the words for, "by Jesus Christ." I underlined where these versions, the catholic ones included, removed sections of Scripture from individual verses in the above three examples. There are many more examples like these where the catholic versions are included in removing things. A short list would be: 1 Corinthians 15:47, John 4:42, Romans 1:16, Acts 2:30, Galatians 4:7, 1 Timothy 3:16, John 7:39, Romans 8:1, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Matthew 9:13, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Timothy 1:17, 1 Timothy 6:5, Hebrews 11:6, 1 John 5:13, Revelation 8:13, Revelation 14:1, Mark 1:2, Luke 2:33, Luke 2:43. There are also many Old Testament corruptions in the DRB, like Psalm 2:12, 2 Samuel 21:19 (contradicting 1 Chron. 20:5 within itself), 1 Samuel 13:1, Jeremiah 39:2 (contradicting both Jeremiah 52:6 and 2 Kings 25:3), none of which are problems in the KJV and other received text translations.
