Was Erasmus a Catholic cleric when he did the TR? A simple yes or no will do, no explanation needed.
No,but for you're benefit I will show you my previous exlplaination:"
Nothing,and I mean NOTHING Erasmus wrote,or anything translated from Erasmus' texts is recognized by the RCC,period.The council of trent BANNED everything that had to do with Erasmus.FACT! ".So you see,the RCC did not recognize him or his works.
Just point me to the heap of manuscripts that read like 1 John 5:7-8 and the last 7 verses of Revelation (particularly v.19 that reads "book of life").
Manuscript 61,Codex Ravianus,the Chester Beatty Papyri(P45,P46,and P47)P47 contained the entire book of Revelation(like Rev 22),somthing the Alexandrian manuscripts don't have;they had to borrow it from the Byzantine type texts.
We'll see.
As for the Old Latin, it was still a Latin Bible, not a Greek manuscript. So what's the difference? It still came from Latin.
The difference is simple,the Old Latin Bibles read like the KJB;due to the fact it came from the God honoring Syrian/Byzantine manuscripts of the Reformation;Jerome's Vulgate did not.And this Old Latin(150)preceded Jerome's Vulgate(405),it also preceded the Papal Vaticanus,and Sinaiticus(trash can version)by more than 150 years.The traditional text in Latin,from AD 130-240 was the Old Latin of the Waldenses(AD157)which matche the Syrian Textus Receptus of Antioch.Jerome had to borrow from the Old Latin to comple his work,due to the fact the Alexandrian manuscripts did not have them;FACT!
Bottom line,Erasmus used the Old Latin!!
Okay. Nevermind he was still a Catholic when he put it together,
Already cleared that up.
you haven't gotten rid of the humanist part.
Nothing but heresay.
Do you totally agree theologically with him? Or the KJV translators for that matter?
I,once again,could care less about them;it is the
PRODUCT they produced I care about!
And it still doesn't change the fact that he translated from the Latin Vulgate to Greek. Thus, some of the readings come from the Vulgate. Simple.
Done been covered already.Simple.
Also, what about Lucifer? Where did that name come from that the KJV translators used? I wonder.........
Don't change the subject.
