There are many myths that are perpetuated today by the defenders of the modern versions, and one of those is that there is very little difference between the Received Text underlying the King James Bible and other ancient Protestant versions and the Westcott-Hort Greek text underlying most of the modern versions. Westcott and Hort themselves made this claim in their day, and it is widely repeated today.
Discuss.

Wrong!!!!
I've been practicing Proverbs 26:5 long enough.
I think I will practice 26:4 for a while now. </font>[/QUOTE]You are aware, aren't you, that I've posted requests for scriptural support of single-translation-onlyism. I've made 43 such requests in several different threads, many of which you posted in. No one has ever been able to provide me with scriptural support for KJVOism, or any other version-onlysim. If it's in scripture, I'lll believe it, and adhere to it. But no one has ever provided it.

Aw, C4K. I wanted to see how long they would go on, and you spoiled it.Originally posted by C4K:

Nice dodge. Rather than provide scriptural support for KJVOism, you choose to dodge. Typical KJVOism tactic.Originally posted by Plain ol' Ralph:

Since God did not say anywhere in His word that KJVOism is valid, then it's clear that the KJVOism doctrine is false doctrine and unscriptural.
But, to answer your rhetorical reply, no, I will not argue the point with God. I believe in His Word, and desire to adhere to it and live by it. If he says to use only the KJV, then I will use only the KJV. If KJVOism is scripturally supportable, then I, desiring a scripturally centered life, will be happy to adhere to KJVOism. So, for the 44th time, kindly show me scriptural support for KJVOism.

Typical KJVO inspired fantasies continue to propagate themselves on this BB. Statistically speaking, there isn't a whole lot of differences between the TR/MT and the UBS4th/NA Greek New Testaments. We are speaking about text-types rather than individual manuscripts, which the KJVO's want you to think about. They will say that there are 100,000 (a conjectural figure) differences in the Greek NT, but this is totalled between 5,600 Greek manuscripts, and possibly even considering the early translations, such as Latin, this number could be greatly multiplied. Here's the problem for the KJVO 'myth': what W&H were referring to, as stated within the stated context, is that the differences between the TR and the W&H Greek NT is very minimal. We are talking apples & oranges here, folks! Even the TR, in whichever edition (Beza, Erasmus, and others), has differences due to the fact that they were editing the Greek NT text to reflect their best opinion as to the original reading. No Greek NT text, whether the TR, MT, or UBS4th/NA, documents all of the differences in every reading among all the manuscripts. If this were so, then we would have to carry our Greek NT in a truck trailer! Westcott and Hort were correct in stating that the text of their Greek NT edition did not reflect much difference with the text of the TR. Westcott and Hort were defining the small amount of differences between the various editions of the Greek NT existant in their time, and it still stands correct today!
Another KJVO myth refuted!
Whether we like it or not, any discussion of English Bible translations is eventually gonna drift into a KJVOism/anti-KJVOism discussion. I think we've all seen other boards started about BVs, with their #1 rule being, "No KJVO posts, pro or con"...and these boards remaining vacant of posts to this very day. Whether ole Doc Wilkinson intended to start anything or not, he sure DID start something, and I believe it's gonna be with us until "the time".
As Christians, we have a duty to combat false doctrines, and the KJVO myth has taken its place among them. Long as God permits, I'm gonna fight every one of'em with what little strength & ability He's given me to do it.
