    maybe any English translation from "inferior" Greek texts of W/H (Wescott & Hort) or UBS/Nestle-Aland (United Bible Society) are purified by fire the eighth time.


    Prove it up. Where?

    Psalms 12:6 - King James Bible
    https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org › Psalms-12-6
    "The words of the LORD are pure words:
    as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. ...

    Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever...."

    KJVO #3 "I BELIEVE IN THE RECEIVED TEXT ONLY"

    This group would consider the TR has either been "supernaturally preserved" or even "inspired" and hence remain inerrant through the providential hand of God. They believe that the TR is verbally identical to the original autographs.

    They consider any English translation from "inferior" Greek texts of W/H (Wescott & Hort) or UBS/Nestle-Aland (United Bible Society) as to be sub-standard and inaccurate.

    The Textus Receptus IS more accurate than Nestle/Aland. Especially in the Gospels. But true the whole New Testament. But not always. Sometimes Nestle Aland will fix an obvious error in the Textus Receptus. The most Accurate Greek Text is the Majority Text, Byzantine Text and Family 35. These Greek Texts fix both the errors in Nestle/Aland and the Textus Receptus.

    The verse mentioned in the OP (not the intent of the OP) is often misused. The verse simply says that the words of the LORD are pure words. It then uses silver that has been refined (pure silver) as an illustration.

    There are good arguments for and against the TR. Fortunately there are no differences in doctrine.

    That phrase is not speaking of God's word, but of persons.
