at the time of christ, 3 cities in the roman empire had the most dominant effects on christianity: rome, italy, alexandria, egypt, and antioch, syria.

rome was the capital of the roman empire. it, as today, was the epitome of form, legalism, and tradition. by the very essence of tradition, rome has known to constantly add to the bible. examples? the apocrypha and its 14 books. or the constant traditions that were emphasized such a purgatory or the chanting of the rosary, that are seen in today's roman catholic church. though rome didn't exactly create any corrupt bibles, they took the corrupt versions from alexandria, and added their traditions to them; they used ecclesiastical interpretation. the bible constantly speaks negatively about rome, whom it constantly compares to as babylon.

alexandria, like much of the world today, was the epitome of education; science, scholarship, knowledge. the like-minded minds of Origen dominated these areas. like as now, education and science took away from the Word of God. most biblical corruptions that are seen in the codex sinaiticus(codex aleph), codex vaticanus(codex B), and the septuagint originated from this region. allegorical interpretation were taken at the bible; ie compare what YOU believe as truth to what the bible says. the bible consistently speaks negatively about egypt.

antioch was the origin of early work by the apostles. known for her luxury and cosmopolitan flavor, but also for its incredible trust in the bible. antioch was the only place where the bible was interpretted literally. the "textus receptus" was the products of many copies of scripture that came from here, all in agreement w/each other. as is the masoretic hebrew old testament. the natives of antioch were from Shem, one of the sons of Noah, whom Noah blessed himself(not Japhethities of Europe, and not Hamites of Africa)

i'm eager to post more, but anymore statements, and i would be essentially plagerizing someone else's work: read more here

trust me when i say, this wormhole goes a lot deeper than you think; just saying "you should just read the bible in the original hebrew language or greek if you want THE authentic bible" isn't gonna cut it.
