In defense of the King James Bible and doctrine

Is that going by families or copies?
100 copies exactly the same may be the same mss.
The numbers come out differently if you count all 100 as one mss.

Just wondering how we are counting these statistics.

Individual manuscripts.

It is my understanding 88% of Acts mss omit 8:37. And 0.6% mss have the KJV TR reading.

I think it is more than 0.6%? If 88% omit then I think that means 12% would contain it?

I don't think the verse is original, but it does have ancient support. Of course I believe all variants are from the 2nd century and therefore ancient.

When it comes to the history of Bibles, I have found this site to be very helpful.
They were dealers of antique and rare Bibles for over 30 years, and I used to
spend time just looking at what they had to offer, but sadly it was all well beyond
my pay grade.

Ok....please pay attention.

The next person who disrespects and degrades God's Word - regardless of translation - will be banned.

This is a Christian forum.

Members suggesting we should burn God's Word because they do not prefer a given translation (KJV, NIV...whatecer) is anti-Christ. Period.

So please take this as fair warning becausw no other warnings will be given.
