    No, as their textual basis source has been pretty much fixed!

    One thing I like about the NKJV is that they didn't go overboard when it came to updating archaic language. The translators were very measured and judicious, in that regard.

    Its best feature to me is when it gives to us alternate readings from the CT/MT

    Agreed. However, take away those features, and you still have an excellent Bible translation in the main text.

    Agreed, if one wanted to stay KjvO, would be the one to use!

    For those who favor the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text, it's a great blessing, I'm sure.

    I believe the NKJV is a fine translation and, perhaps, even underrated.

    One important verse the NKJV is one translation that translated it correctly.
    Luke 2:2, ". . . This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. . . ."
    .

    Do you agree with the lists that state the NKJV is written at a seventh grade reading comprehension level?

    So you are then accusing him of being a homosexual? Think, does Christ want that reaction to a brother?!?

    You obviously are out of the loop. So it's best to drop it.

    He was not Governor until 6AD. Luke reports he at this earlier date that he had governed in Syria
