The ONE QUESTION KJVOs can't correctly answer...

Bingo!!!

 

Is it surprising that posts intended to answer incorrect claims concerning English Bible translations and to provide accurate information about them would be negatively considered "drivel"?

 

The simple, even if inconvenient, truth is that "Eve...was the mother of all living." (Genesis 3:20) It seems that the "RVO" reads "Eve was the mother of all living, except for those women God specially created to marry her sons!"

I suppose it is also unacceptable that those who belong to Christ are the seed of one who married his sister (Cf. Genesis 20:12)?

 

There would be serious scriptural or theological problems with your own explanation/speculation of where Cain and Seth's wives came from to which you may close your eyes.

The scriptures support the view that God created only Adam and Eve and that all human beings descended from them. Your speculation would conflict with scriptural teaching about the fall of man-kind and its consequences. "In Adam all die" (1 Cor. 15:22), "by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men" (Rom. 5:12), "by one man's offence death reigned by one" (Rom. 5:17), "by the offence of one judgment came upon all men" (Rom. 5:18). The scriptural teaching about how all man-kind became sinners and die then ties in to how Christ, the second Adam, could provide redemption.

 

One revision at 2 Samuel 12:22 in many present KJV editions was not introduced until after 1800.
The 1611 KJV and pre-1611 English Bibles may have "God" from influence of the Latin Vulgate while many post-1829 KJV editions have "GOD" to indicate that the Hebrew text has the name for God translated Jehovah a few times in the KJV.

Another revision introduced in many KJV editions after 1800 is at 1 Samuel 2:13.

Since the Hebrew Masoretic text has a Hebrew word plural in number for priests, "priest's custom" in the 1769 Oxford KJV edition was revised or textually corrected to "priests' custom" in the 1873 Cambridge.

There are no Byzantine text types prior to Aleph and B.

There are plenty of Alexandrian ones though.


I had told you to provide information about Byzantine manuscripts that date before 330.

Name a single papyrus that you think fulfills that condition.

Don't give me a song and dance about "Byzantine readings" --I want you to show evidence of manuscripts.

Unless you do as I asked your statement remains false.

 

Sounds like you have something lodged in your throat.

Just do as I asked. Cite any papyrus that is basically Byzantine before the year 330. That's an easy request. Simply comply.
Since you are unable to do so in that none exist, your futile claim is false.

 

Name one. Do not make claims that you can't back up. Don't try to support the unsupportable.

I can name plenty of manuscripts that are of the Alexandrian text-type that have early dates which you can't match.

P4 from 162 A.D. It has 96 verses from Luke and it has well over 90% agreement with P75 and B.

P17 is from the 4th century and has eight verses from Hebrews.

P27 is from the third century. It has 24 verses from Romans.

P30 is from the third century and has 20 verses from first and second Thess.

P32 is from 3rd/4th century and contains eleven verses from Titus.

P39 is from the third century and has nine verses from the 8th chapter of John.

P47 is from the late third century and more than eight chapters from Revelation.

P53 is from the third century. It contains more than 20 verses from Matthew and Acts.

P72 is from 300 A.D. and contains first and second Peter and Jude. (A few Western readings.)

P75 dates from 250 A.D. It contains most of Luke and the first 15 chapters of John.

Most of these are not as long as P4, P72 and P75. Yet even though they are fragmentary, they all are considered Alexandrian and come close to

P91 --3rd century. It has a dozen verses from Acts.

P118 is from the third century and has eleven verses from Romans.

P123 is from the 4th century and has eight verses from 1 Corinthians.

0220 is from the 3rd century and contains a dozen verses from Romans.

Most of the above are fragmentary and not as long as P4, P72 and P75. Yet they are in large agreement with Aleph and B.

 

Sturz does demonstrate that there are ancient Byzantine readings in the papyri. He makes a strong case that the Byzantine texttype is just as ancient as the Alexandrian.

 

Just identify Byzantine manuscripts that were written before 330 A.D.

 

The Nkjv would be more literal I think than the Kjv version was, as the translators at times did indeed use looser verbiage.

 

Does not prove superiority though, would be more akin to being equivalent.

 

What is amazing to me is the oft made claim that those of us here like myself who prefer modern translations would be stating byt hat we see the Kjv as being bad, wrong, not needed now etc!
