Here are a bunch of resources for learning about bible manuscripts: (I have no idea as to how reliable any of these sources are. Most are however from various university website run by professors rather than personal sites.) CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS http://www.csntm.org/ The...

I need to clarify the quote in the previous post. One word of warning, already referred to, must be emphasised in conclusion. No fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith rests on a disputed reading. Constant references to mistakes and divergences of reading, such as the plan of this book necessit...

Dusty, Thanks for the reply, I'm almost finished with part 2b. I'll let you know my thoughts on it as well as part 2a. You rightly say that "Both family A & B are detested by those on the far right and left." My question remains though. If, as you say, "The disputes are [merely] o...

You look at man and what he is capable of; corruption. Yes, I well aware that man is capable of corruption. We both agree here, the only difference here is I don't believe there is an exception to this rule. I believe that man is fallible and therefore nothing he does will be perfect. I look to God...

You also state, "Looking at the KJV only movement they aren’t far behind when it comes to hate for bibles based off of a different family. ... Fingers could be pointed at both sides." The division between the two sides that you acknowledge here is precisely why I created Part 2a! I was si...

Regarding Hort, Zach says: Quote: he then quotes one [i.e. F.J.A. Hort] who is not respected even [by] those on the other side of the issue. He did not quote a Christian on the other side of the issue, instead he conveniently chooses a man who doesn’t even believe in God. I think there are one or t...

Dusty, I was able to reduce Part 2b from 14mb to 7mb. It's half the file size and doesn't appear to have lost any quality. If you would like to use that file instead let me know. I have put it on my website at http://www.athleo.net/BTRBVDpart2b.pdf I can always remove, or you can put it on your site...

Dusty, I have been very busy...with school and work so I may not be able to read the part 2b until later this weekend. Although I believe you honestly tried be objective, the fact is that we are both Christians and thus how we feel about this particular topic can't be ignored or taking lightly. It a...

Dusty, I'm sorry if it seems like I am attacking you. Personally, I don't know you and have no problem with you. I think the first part was great. I haven't read everything you've written but what I have has seem very good and helpful. But on this point I disagree with you. I'm sure we agree on a lo...

You say the KJV is God's only preserved word in english which if true would mean that the bibles I use are not. That is a serious issue. But if the KJV has an error than that means that God has more than one version. It doesn't mean all have are good versions, but it does mean that there is more tha...

The reason is that we are not having a bible study which applies to application and true study. The reason this whole discussion started is because Joeseph from http://www.psalm9416.com made the claim as you have that the KJV is God's only preserved word in the English language. And you guys have we...

Dusty, Thanks for posting and the articles were well written and I appreciate that you tried to make everything objective. I think the first article is very helpful for anyone when it comes to understanding bible translation. Who is it I've quoted "who is not respected even those on the other s...

as I have found none in the Holy Bible or as you call it the KJV Even if you were showed one clearly would you admit it? How did you come to that conclusion? It appears that you just randomly selected a version, the KJV, and then said anything that does not agree with this has to be wrong. How do y...

First English Translations

I thought it was interesting that a position taken by many KJV only people is that making "modern translations" is wrong. It's said by everyone that holds to the KJV only view that the "KJV is God's only preserved word in the English language". What I want to know is what gives t...
