First English Translations

How has God preserved His word? How has the enemy tried to pervert the word of God?

You asked in another post:
Do you know if King James I translators had the Alexandrinus, Vatinicus and Sinaticus Manuscripts available to them before 1611? If so why didn't they use them?
The Sinaticus Manuscripts were not discovered until the mid to late 1800's. (I'm not sure the exact date, I think in the 1850's)

The Codex Alexandrinus was discovered around 1600-1620.

The Vaticanus was discovered around the 1400.

The KJV translators relied only upon the Textus Receptus I think. The study of the TR is very interesting.

Sorry it was wrong of me but I was trolling I admit I'm a shameless blogger from way back :oops: . Say, just an FYI IMHO a decent read is 'Which Bible?' edited by David Otis Fuller, D.D. ISBN 0-944355-24-2 let me know what you think if you get the chance.

If you do a search on Fuller you ought to find some interesting articles too and other stuff.

Though Id rather get into the meat of Gods word
