    The Critical Text is pretty much unused now a'days, anyway. Most scholars lean toward the Majority Text [​IMG] , unless they are TR men :rolleyes: .

    I really like the Majority text, in that it derives from all the different manuscript families, not just one. :D

    And it isn't worshipped like the TR... ;)

    In Christ,
    Trotter

    NKJV </font>[/QUOTE]Orvie I'm not doubting you but how do you respond to these apparant instances where the NKJV departs from the KJV and lines up with the MVs.

    http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/resource/nkjv01.htm

    I realize that I may be off subject as to my W/H question, so bear with me. Do you think the W/H text had no influence here?

    The NKJV "lines up" with the MV's only because the MV's use a better word (in today's vernacular) than that of our beloved KJV and in fact and most likely a universal word such as replacing "charity" with "love" as in 1 Corinthians 13 or "bowels" with "heart" in 2 Corinthians.

    The acid test: Go to 1 John 5:7, if it is there with no explanation you can be assured that you are reading a TR based Bible.

    There are several other belwether tests but this is the one that I use.

    This is not meant to be an argument as to the authority of 1 John 5:7 (although, I believe it is apostolic) but as I said, a reliable TR test.

    "how do you respond to these apparant instances where the NKJV departs from the KJV and lines up with the MVs. "
    ''
    In addition to what Hank said.
    Within what we call the TR there are a number of variant readings. The AV 1611 often included those as footnotes.
    The translators of the Geneva Bible also a TR translation at times chose to use those readings that ended up on the sidelines of the AV.
    The same happened with the translation of the NKJV.

    Its sad that the KJV translators didn't make known what exact TR they used. Although it was probably Stephens 1550. I think they should translate a Modern Bible from the TR that doesn't have the initials KJV in it. I personally like the Robinson/Pierpont Greek Text based on the oldest known Byzatine texts. I have no problem with Alexandrian texts I like them. It would just be nice to have an TR MV Bible.

    It appears to be a composite or an eclectic text (eek!) taken from more than one source, namely the big three TR's at the time of the translation plus some unique Vulgate readings.

    Scrivener published a Greek text (TR) in 1884/5 which puts it all together in one Greek Text (for the most part).

    Where is Skan when we need him?

    What's the point? No one has actually proven the Alex mss, etc. wrong, but only different from the Byz mss.

    Thanks Hank and Orvie. I'm still not sure I'm buying it but I appreciate your answers. I'll try to study the issue more myself. Roby, I didn't have a point this time (other than on the top of my head), I was just curious. But I probably will (have a point)again before it is over.

    Modern versions are Westcott/Hort translations.

    JW Bible is also Westcott/Hort translation. This is a CULT!

    That's how they derived from the W/H text.

    The question is moot: The AV1611 was translated DECADES prior to the TR.

    In 1624 Abraham and Bonaventure Elzevir of Leiden published an edition of the Greek New Testament. In 1633 they published a second revised edition.

    In the publisher's preface of the 1633 revision, in Latin, we find the following words: Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum that can be translated as: the (reader) now has the text that is received by all. From this publisher's blurb has come the words "Received Text."

    This was the FIRST TIME the TR or Textus Receptus phrase was used. And even in this case, the Elzevir provided no proof the text of their edition had been received by anyone!!

    Yes, the New Testament text primarily used by the translators of the King James Version was the third edition of Robert Estienne’s Greek text published in 1550 (Robert Estienne is also known at Robert Stephens or Stephanus, a 16th century printer in Paris). It is commonly called the Textus Receptus although the true Textus Receptus was not published until 1633.

    </font>[/QUOTE]Then give a name for versions
    made since 1611 which were NOT made from
    the Westcott/Hort sources.
    I am quite willing to use the term
    "Modern Version" for versions made
    from the Westcott/Hort source after the
    17th century (1601-1700).

    Here are some Bibles we need to describe:

    KJV1769
    KJV1873
    Third Millennium Bible (New Authorized Version)
    The 21st Century King James

    For your statement: Modern versions are Westcott/Hort translations." to be true,
    these Bibles must NOT be construed as
    "Modern Versions". My list may not
    be complete, it is only suggestive.

    BTW, the New King James Version, while
    referencing the so called Westcott/Hort
    source, generally in the text uses what
    we think may be the received text
    (and comments in footnotes the W/H Source).

    But I love to praise Jesus in 17th Century talk:
    [​IMG] Praise Iesus, Sonne of God [​IMG]

    </font>[/QUOTE]OK, the Mormons use the KJV. Should we throw it out just because a cult uses it?
    Sorry, you are setting a dangerous precedent by your logic.

    Howdy brotinytim! Long time no see! We raised our children on the kjbible and that is the very thing satan used to seduce our youngest son into another cult called oneness.

    Yup, if they had used anything else, he'd never have gone there, but because they read from the one bible he was assured of, he decided to take 'em up on their "bible study" also known as "scripture twisting". The devil knows exactly what he is doing!

    You know it is strange how certain parties who favor
    the KJV1769 err in misunderstanding the resolution
    of the "they" in Psalm 12:7 to be the words of
    God in Psalms 12:6 when in fact it refers to the
    people in Psalm 12;5.

    Here is what is said above:

    Granny Gumbo: "We raised our children on the kjbible and that is the very thing satan used to seduce our youngest son into another cult called oneness."

    When i first read it i misunderstood that the
    "the very thing" referred to the kjbible [​IMG]

    In fact, "the very thing" refers to the post before,
    not to the "kjbible".

    But I love to praise Jesus in 17th Century talk:
    [​IMG] Praise Iesus, Sonne of God [​IMG]
