What is your understanding of KJVO?

To me, "textual criticism" is nothing more than a tool of the devil used to bring yet more division to the body of Christ;

A consistent, just application of your assertion would condemn the actual textual criticism involved in the making of the thirty textually-varying Textus Receptus editions and in the textually-varying pre-1611 English Bibles and the 1611 KJV.

Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly.

If the AV translators would have had everything that currently exists with regard to manuscripts today, would they have deliberately chosen to ignore a collated Greek text that agrees with the vast majority of it, and have gone with something that represents less than 5% of the total and disagrees with the vast majority of it?


I suppose that we don't.
I also do not know for sure if the Lord directly used the AV translators, or if he only permitted them to do the work, and then used it for His glory.
But, to me this is all speculation.

With that said, I have another question for you...
In their place, would you have?
I would have tried to use what to me was the best available source texts, regardless of how many times they were used or attested to, and think that there are indeed p[laces where the Kjv would have used either the MT/CT in places to updates the renderings into English!
