Is the KJV inspired?

are there any Greek Byzantine manuscripts, before the 5th century Codex Alexandrinus?

 

Pretty sure there are, but I'd have to look it up, and I don't have time for that right now. I know there are mss with mixed text type before then.

 

Of course Hort & Westcott were brilliant. They changed the whole face of textual criticism and Bible translation. But that doesn't mean that I agree with anything they did, either in those areas or in their theology.

I thought the very fact that our views are different was why we discussed them here. :Coffee

But suit yourself. God bless.

 

If you buy into the KJVO critics of them, one was into voodoo, and the other was a serial killer!

 

a bit of a sweeping statement? "anything...in their theology". Reading Westcott on John 1:1 shows that he believed in the True Deity of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Trinity. etc

 

Their critics had them doing seances and conjuring up ghosts!

 

Both charges are ill conceived and false.

 

You misquoted me. You left off "That doesn't mean...." I did not say that I did not agree with anything they did or wrote. The context of our discussion was strictly on textual criticism.

I actually had a book by Westcott, I believe it was, with a decent Christology, but I gave it to my son.

 

but you must admit that they were slated for what they did, and very unfairly at times

 

I see, theie "theology" that relates to textual criticism? apologies then.

 

you might be intrested in my latest thread, There is No “Priority” Greek Text

 

Thank you.

 

Both of them was conservatize for the time, as liberal and critical theology was starting to ravage Christianity of that time!
