If you can't read a sentence because it's placed in brackets on a page you are already reading that would be your inadequacy.
Nothing is hidden.
The argument is Byzantine Vs Alexandrian Greek Text

The Church didn't use or receive the Alexandrian Text, 1%< minority of manuscript evidence

New versions are supported by this Alexandrian Text Type, NIV, NASB, ESV, NRSV, Etc

You disregard this argument as if it dosent exist, smiles!

Westcott & Hort in 1881 werent saviors to the world, creating their new Greek Text that used the Alexandria Text Type

Nestle-Aland werent saviors to the world, creating their new Greek Text that used the Alexandria Text Type

The Church was and still is aware of the Alexandrian Text, from the Egyptian philosophical schools of Clement, Origen, Arius, and that they are corrupt, nothing new

Argument: Byzantine Vs. Alexandrian

KJVO CULT PREJUDICE. Nothing new.

Totally ignoring the discovery of the dead sea scrolls among other things.
KJV relied too heavily on the flawed Masoretic text, and the Latin Vulgate.

Conservative Bible scholars today predominantly prefer the ALEXANDRIAN family of manuscripts for good reason.

Old fashioned, out of date KJ gobbledygook alone isn't fit for serious study today despite the cult following the KJV has.
It's best function is as a piece of church history.

A piece of history that led the greatest revival the world has ever seen! What’s the fruit of the new versions...the Laodicean Church Age.

1Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
You are grasping at straws. Nothing in that verse hints that what fades is the original autographs. Have you been taking interpretation lessons from Garee on another forum?

Originals - gone.
Copies - mixture of truth and error. Can't be verified which is which.

"Original language" = Gold standards. ROFL
Because it reflects the spirit of Christ. No errors, no contradictions, a consistent message through and through. Word and number patterns that could never happen by chance.
It's awfully convenient for you to believe that your chosen translation has no errors, contradictions, etc.

Unfortunately, it means you are constitutionally unable to accept reality.

I try to think better of you, but you keep undermining my estimation of your intelligence.

I wonder how in the world people knew what to read before 1611? Is it true that many people burned the KJV when it was first published, because most loved another translation?

The word of God that’s spoken of in the previous verse was written on vellum and papyrus. Vellum is flesh, papyrus is grass. All flesh IS AS grass. The flesh and and the grass fade away but the word of the lord endures forever.

That’s like one of the easiest ciphers in the Bible to figure out. But I assume that you aren’t aware that Bible contains ciphers.... like the entire Bible is a cipher.

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe God just wanted to make sure that we understood grass and flesh aren’t eternal and that the glory of the flower is fleeting. He just threw in the bit about the word of God to hide his true intentions. Which do you think was the authors intent?

I am open to more than one translation only because of the part the Spirit plays in leading unto understanding for all who seek Truth and Light.

Luke
11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch. It fails the moment you realize that the copies were written on the same media.
