The primary New Testament Text is Byzantine.

You, to me, seem have a problem understanding inerrancy.
Psalm 119:89, For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
You shouldn't,
1 John 2:27, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

That doctrine of inspiration and inerrancy applies only to the originals

Where can we find those?

I'm sorry, Dave, but in effect, it seems to me that you're always siding with people who keep telling believers that they essentially don't have a complete and entire Bible, while I'm siding with those that can and do.

I and others like me can and do hold that the "TR" in the Greek ( which very closely matches the Majority Text in an overwhelming number of areas and is also Byzantine in nature ) and the "Ben Chayiim" in the Hebrew are the perfectly preserved word of God and have been, for centuries...
And that the Authorized is the best representative of that in English today ( barring any further editions of it ).

NA and UBS ( and any translations in any language that make use of those ) cannot ever do that ... because they are constantly changing and being revised; and given the nature of the "Critical Text" and its primary foundation of Siniaticus and Vaticanus, it cannot either.
Why?
Because the differences between just the two of those is staggering when compared side-by-side.

My point is, if we don't have the original texts and we don't have anything that can be counted on to ( right now ) be the fully-inspired and perfectly preserved word of God ( because later on we may find out that it wasn't ), then we really don't have God's every word right now, do we?
In that case, we cannot say "thus saith the Lord" because ( apparently ) He may not have.

Respectfully,
If I also don't have a faithfully and accurately rendered translation of it that I can point to right now and know that it's the preserved and inspired word of God, then I don't have anything that I can totally rely on and point people to...

....generation after generation, and century after century.
Do I?


Again, it seems that we'll have to agree to disagree;
But to me, the foundation that you're apparently standing on is continually changing... while the one I'm standing on never has.


Nevertheless as in other threads, I wish you well, sir, and may God bless you.

Inspiration and inerrancy only applies to the Originals, and there is NOT that much difference between CT/TR/Mt greek texts though, as major differences refers mainly to things such as did it state Lord Jesus, Jesus, or Jesus the Lord? And no variants change any major doctrines, as Nas/Esv/Nkjv all can be used to support same doctrines as in the Kjv

While there are thousands of Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, they generally agree with each other to a very high degree, with over 99.5% agreement word-for-word. Significant variations are relatively rare, and none of the unresolved differences affect core Christian doctrines.

its only when one MUST have a perfect translation that which Greek text to use comes into play at all
