Subject: Help! Unclean vs clean meat? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tam! Excellent explanation of a difficult topic! If I might though, I do believe you reversed one part. The latter manuscripts are more numerous than the earlier ones. The later manuscripts tend to be of the Western text type which were mass produced. One of the problems people have with textual criticism is that they can't understand that texts must be weighed rather than simply counted. The latter texts are more numerous, but not necessarily more accurate. When the text used for the KJV was put together, he actually had an earlier text, but since it usually differed from the majority of the texts he had, he disregarded it.
