Bible Note: Greetings Biblebeliever! I am used to straight talking my friend, but I am not used to Christian brothers being rude. Hopefully, I never will become accustomed to that! Was I rude to you? I asked you in another post about how the text of the Textus Receptus was arrived at. Did every single manuscript used by the Textus Receptus agree exactly on every point? If not, how were the readings decided upon? My desire is to see the text be as accurate as it can be. So, I am not offended by textual choices as long as they reflect the best possible evidence. For instance, you cite the example of Acts 8:37. Without going into all of the details, it is clear that some manuscripts include this verse, while others do not. Why do you automatically assume that those which do include it are accurate, while those which do not are inaccurate? On what basis do you make this decision? If someone disagrees with your choice, why would you assume that they are attackig the Word of God? Which reading is the Word of God? If all of the manuscripts included Acts 8:37, and someone removed it anyway, I would agree with your point. But, many manuscripts do not include it. Therefore, a decision has to be made. The general thinking is that there would be no reason to remove Acts 8:37 if it were original, but there would be reasons to add it if it were not. Therefore, most translations today leave it out. You can agree or disagree with their decision, but they have only done exactly what you have done when you decided that it must be original. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
