Bible Note: Tim You said, "If the first copies are corrupt, how could later copies possibly be accurate? This is the basic difference I would have with your approach. The later the manuscript, the greater the chance of purposeful or accidental error. And I again I would agree with you if they both came from the same discipline or text type as commonly used in reference to family of manuscripts. However the oldest texts are I believe Alexandrine and the later or majority are Byzantine. We further know the TR was incorporated some of the readings from the Vulgate which is believed by many to be the oldest complete NT manuscript although not in original Greek but in Latin. Again I’m not trying to discredit any manuscript in fact just the opposite. What I’m trying to say is what should have been done instead of basing all the new translations on the an assortment of manuscripts they all should have been based on one most probably the TR they could still use their own translational interpretations but noted any manuscriptual differences they deemed important within the marginal or footnotes.
