Careful there SHINING ONE, He did pay me a Visit here back in 1994, Feb 3 to be exact, and Yes I've got more worn out Bibles and Concordance's than you probably do... LOLZ..... The Testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophesy! indeed.. With the Living Word, the Spirit of Christ guiding you, its nothing but letters and words, making men in religion puffed up in there mind and head.. splitting christ up into divsions, commending themselves and measuring themselves by others..... Not Only Did He visit me but His Angel also paid me a visit here last winter.. He's here for War, for the LORD is a Man of War!!!!! indeed...-------------------->
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be Born Again, he/she cannot

Indeed, and I do not believe a PhD with 21 years of formal experience in biblical textual criticism would make such statements or communicate in such a juvenile manner.
The Majority Text is the form found in the largest number of surviving manuscripts, though not in the oldest. It differentiates from the Textus Receptus Greek Text; however, while the Majority Text underlies the Textus Receptus Greek text used for most of the original Reformation-era translations of the New Testament into vernacular languages what our "expert" omitted is that our modern translations primarily use Eclectic editions that conform more often to the Alexandrian text-type.
Read 'The Cambridge History of the Bible' Volumes 1, Part III: The Old Testament Text and Part IV: The New Testament Text. As Part IV states:
"All modern hand editions rest upon the work of the great scholars of the nineteenth century, who all agreed in preferring a text which is related in some measure to the exercise of critical acumen amongst the Christian scholars of Alexandria."
Furthermore, obviously the King James version is based on the Textus Receptus which is based mainly on late manuscripts of the Byzantine text-type not the Alexandrian text. As you know, this is all very elementary.
But for our general audience, what's as important to understand is that no textual variant alters any essential in Christendom.

You know, it seems to me that there have been a considerable number of phonies masquerading as believers on Christian forums the last 6 months or so...I have seen this on other forums...the talk is the same.
They seem to know something about the Bible, but not as a believer and go about trying to get Christians to respond in a defensive manner and then they jump all over them
The wording is also not English as one who is familar with the language...I probably should not post what I think may actually be going on, but these are not innocent people nor are they simply trolls
Anyway, that is what I think

Yes. You summed that up rather succinctly. The KJV is roots in the Erasmus text and none of the MSS of that text are earlier than the 10th, possibly the 9th century, which is still considered somewhat early. But one of the factors that led virtually every scholar of that period to reject the Erasmus text (and please correct me if I am wrong) was the questionable reliability of those particular MSS not necessarily the Byzantine text itself.
People!! The report button is your friend.
Someone pointed out the other day, this so-called "troll" is probably a bot. That is an artifically generated response program, that inserts answers which are deemed appropriate to the program. That is why most of Makahiya's responses are inappropriate and don't make sense.
This "person" is neither troll nor person, but a kind of spam to tie up conversation, and confuse people. He is using all kinds of unknown theories and terms, claiming to be a post doc (when he can't even respond properly to simple posts)
So use you head! He has insulted some of our best and kindest members. Go back, find the posts and report him. Over and over and over.
We don't need this kind of absolute nonsense here. It is hard enough discussing the actual Bible, without having a disturber that isn't even a real person on here!
Take no prisoners. Report him!

Not really .
I just finished an academic paper on the Theory of Everything .
I contrasted academic theology with the statements
of the infinite universe theoretical physicists,
including singularity and parallel universes,
the big rip theory, oscillation theory, six day theory,
gap theory, big bang evolution theory and creation evolution theory .
The thesis and ante-thesis of the origin of everything are creation
(by an eternal God ) and pantheism (everything is eternal
or everything came from nothing).
