Any way Not much for the Westcott & Hort Translations or the Nestle-Aland text Codex Alexandrinus or the Codex Vaticanusor most of these are used for the newer translations. Even the UBS texts were used I think to some extent. It was shocking to see how many verses were removed from these. But all of this traces back to the alexandrian and the antioch texts.I tend to be more bias to the Antioch texts so to speak. Wow talk about some old rehash here, haven't thought about this in a while, and I promised my self not to get into these discussions because they are redundant. But any way, yeah I do read out some of the newer translations and have read the niv and the nasb and the amplified and the NKJV in their entirety and I do realize the wording is easier to understand. But most of them are derivatives of the Codex Alexandrinus. And I am also aware of the agendas and beliefs of Westcott & Hort and their magic eraser lol..Justaned wrote:Rocky wrote:These are very rhetorical questions. But here goes. Ok first of all I know all the catholic conspiracy theories. And, so two anti Trinitarian British scholars are considered advances In understanding greek? Oh and I Never said I believe the Textus Receptus or that the KJV is inspired in of itself, I just believe that God preserved his written word, Sorry I don't trust the newer translation as much as I use to. I am not saying to throw them away, I use them for certain things as well. I am well aware of all of the conspiracy theories and so forth. I use to advocate for the newer translations and your rhetorical questions are the same ones I use to use, you know been there done that bought the t shirt then threw it away, and the horse is dead and he isn't getting back up, everJustaned wrote:Rocky wrote:Well you never said it directly. That's why I said "for example". And no the AMPLIFIED does not omit the verse. But, I don't care which translation omits it. I think newer translation are lacking in a lot of areas anyway, this must be known and understand by the bible student. I am not KJV only but It is the standard for me, or rather the Textus Receptus is the standard . I have studied on bible translations for about 6 years so. At first I did it to try to prove my self right as you are doing, I was such an advocate of modern versions, that I set out trying to show the KJV only position is nuts(Now I admit some of it is) Through my study I discovered that these newer translation are ok but lacking. Billy I know you are anti-Trinitarian, that's why you are making these claims, I cant help you there, some one planted that seed in you along time ago. You have the tools around you to learn the truth, but maybe pride or something else wont let you be taught any thing different. No matter what any one says or posts I will not be convinced that 1 John 5:7 was added, So you definitely will be beating a dead horse with me on thisbranham1965 wrote:PROPOSITION :THE MAJORITY OF ALL MODERN VERSIONS OMIT 1 JOHN 5:7...THE NIV,NASB,ASV,ESV,HCSB,RSV,NRSV,NAB,AMPLIFIED,YOU NAME IT.WHAT SAY YOU ROCKY????

In your mind what makes the Textus Receptus more accurate than the other translations into Greek?
Does the fact that draws heavily on Catholic Latin Translations bother you in any way?
Does the advances in understanding ancient Greek that have been recently made influence you at all?
Does the advances made in our ability to better understand all that was involved in bringing one translation forward bother you at all?
Does the fact that God clearly stated His word was inspired but never mentioned the translation or interpretation of His word being inspired, does that bother you at all?
I understand you call it a dead horse I'm just wondering on what basis do you declare the horse dead?
Rocky
You said a lot but really didn't say anything other than I asked rhetorical questions.
'
What makes you think the Textus Receptus is more reliable that other works of the orginal translated into Greek?
No rhetoric just a simply question. No conspiracies. No trumpted up charges.
Just a simple question.
