    You are a liar. The preface to the NKJV clearly tells us on page xxiv that "the editors decided to retain the traditional text in the body of the New Testament and to indicate Critical and Majority Text variant readings in the textual footnotes."

    You have been told this over and over and over again but you continue to tell the same lie. You have been exposed as a liar and a fraud.

    Askjo:That is what I am aware of. I agree with you because I saw many churches are changing because of modern versions and apostasy among there.

    You're both incorrect. The notion that new versions are causing apostasy is ridiculous, same as is the notion that the KJV led to Jungle Jimmie Jones & David Koresh performing their actions.

    I agree, I don't see how you can point to apostasy in churches today and say that it is because of a Modern Version. Personally, I think in some churches Modern Versions have kept the attention of some readers who do not want to take the time to study and comprehend the KJV.

    I believe apostasy in our churches is both a result in changes in society, morality and possibly even the birth-pains of end-times; however, since I do not know God's time-table, that is a big "IF". But, I dare anybody to provide solid "proof" or "evidence" that modern versions are a cause of apostacy (sic).

    I pastored a church where the deacons were KJV preference and MV preference. They were the same people who saw nothing wrong with inviting the Mormon bishop to come and preach at a local gathering of Christian businessmen. I stood against thwem and it turned into an argument. Apostacy and evil have nothing to do with what version the person reads. It has everything to do with obedience. It is a heart issue not an external translation issue. Most of the people in the early church could not read or write. They did not own a scroll or manuscripts. But they still could please God by faith.

    I am old enough to have seen KJVO's and MV's lie cheat and steal both as pastors and laymen.

    The NKJV translator speaks for himself.

    According to this logic shouldn't the KJV of the Bible be rejected because of the influence it had in the formation of the following groups (as well as MANY other cults and heretical sects)?


    The Church of Christ Scientists (Mary Baker Eddy)
    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
    The Davidians (David Koresh)
    The People’s Temple (Jim Jones)
    Jehovah’s Witnesses
    Father Divine (George Baker)

    I feel kind of silly answering
    a retorical question.

    Yes, by the same logic one would have to
    dis the King James Versions (KJVs) because
    of their heresys which they justify with
    the KJVs.

    Fortunately we can enjoy inter-action with
    "those who are like-minded and are in the
    unity of the Spirit of Truth concerning
    this issue".

    May lots of God's good blessings be unto
    Brother HankD, his family, and his ministry
    this very day. Amen!

He should but that is not always the case. I worked for a man who claimed to be a believer but cheated customers regularly. Just read your Bible and you will see the problems in the churches. For example look at James and the troubles there.

    I read the whole article. Brother Cloud says that you are wrong and the NKJV is based on the TR.
