    Askjo said "The charts showed some verses that the KJV and MVs disagree each other."

    Exactly - the charts don't care if the disagreements are due to textual reasons or not, and even when the reasons are textual, they do nothing to explain the textual issues. The charts focus ONLY on the plain, straight-forward comparison of English to English, ignoring all other factors. So your comments about the NU and TR are irrelevant to my question. I'm asking why, if these charts only deal with English reading vs. English reading (completely ignoring all textual considerations), why show only certain verses and not others? That is dishonest.

    Askjo: //You see, modern versions and the NU text
    ADDED "through Jesus Christ" and REMOVED "wise" Jude 25.//

    The New King James Version (nKJV) sides with
    the KJV1769 here. But folks who make lists of MV errors
    don't bother to say "the NKJV is correct".
    For you see, they paint the NKJV as a MV.
    Many various shades of grey ranging from the
    good post-KJVs to the bad post-KJVs, BUT these
    raging anti-MV chart makers paint every MV BAD.

    Sorry, but the KJV1769 is a MODERN VERSION compared
    to the KJV1611.

    BTW, Jude v. 25 is usually omitted from
    charts because the NU adds
    "through Jesus Christ". They chart makers
    like to show that the NU (and those
    MVs that are based on the NU) takes
    "Jesus Christ" out of the Bible, here
    the NU is adding "Jesus Christ" to the Bible.

    But I love to praise Jesus in 17th Century talk:
