Textus Receptus; Majority Text; Manuscripts; Statistics; Lectures; Opinion - rationally presented

MJ. Smith

This file contains uneditted files - hence many scripture links were not made. It is a quick and dirty first cut at a level of discourse that could have occured in the general thread. And evidence that despite the non-standard quirks that limited Logos' transformation and my laziness re:including manuscript images that I cannot read, Logos does provide a quick and dirty way to, perhaps, raise the level of the discussion. One of my criteria for inclusion - besides being listed in the first few pages of the search - was that the author's opinion be presented in a well-reasoned and/or factual way. I avoided loaded language and multi-colored, multi-sized texts.

Now remember that you have to read the material before you are allowed to speak on the Textus Receptus.  This is my post and I make the rules - without any authority or means of enforcement.  But be wary of my grandson's cutting, witty humor - I might turn him loose on you.

Good move MJ. Thanks for the articles. Yes, yes, I know, I am reading, I will not comment on the subject before I finish them [:)]

Well, I quite like the TR 1550 but I might favour the Majority 2005 text! And the scriptures presented convince me even more that NKJV is based on the TR of the KJV.

I doubt that my favourite bibles are based on the TR or Majority, but that doesn't really matter as the NET will alert me to variants and why it chose a particular translation.
