The Textus Receptus was the source for the NT in the NKJV. New King James Version - Wikipedia

Very good post. I agree.

I respect your opinion and I apologize for saying you had your head in the sand. No need for personal attacks

But then what would we talk about on the forum?

The user Davy I talked to on another thread shares your view of the KJV. You may want to see Oldest and Best Really and King James Version Only threads

How about all the versions that exclude verse 4? Not all modern versions do. It makes a difference to me if these people were just sitting around a pool or if miracles were happening because of Angelic activity. If there was no verse 4 and no angel why did the man want to get in the pool? Verse...

What if people didn’t copy a text because they saw there was a problem with it? I don’t think less copied means more reliable. There are other reasons like less handling and better climate conditions that would make texts survive longer. The more handled and copied the document the worse shape...

I understand their argument that the older texts are closer to the original but there is evidence the Alexandrian texts were corrupted. All in all we’re not talking about that much difference and the essential doctrines are present in every version. I can take the New World Translation and still...

That version includes it. Thanks

Without verse 4 verse 7 makes no sense. Modern versions omit part of verse 3 and all of verse 4. Without verse 4 it’s just a bunch of disabled people who want to take a dip in the pool

Sorry I interrupted your very amusing conversation with bbird. I like the KJV but I am not King James Only and I like the NKJV. There is no need to argue about it your position is clear. Good luck with your conviction to live a sinless life. Paul, Peter and James couldn’t do it but it is...

Older is not necessarily more accurate. I’m not a King James Only advocate. I think much of the criticism of the Majority text is unwarranted and it has value. The modern translations are good Bibles but the KJV has value and I especially like the NKJV. Did you read my post about John 5:4? I...

You should have read my post

It’s certainly not the worst translation. You have bought in to modern scholarship. No need to discuss this with you your head is in the sand. Do you think the NLT or The Message are better translations? You can’t be serious

When someone says “Thus saith the Lord “ it makes me wonder why God would speak in King James’ English

I never said the KJV was the best translation. You didn’t read my post and you are making assumptions. I call BS on you. If you want to go with the majority of academics then do that. But some people have different opinions. You have confirmation bias on this issue you are only reading material...

That’s why I like the NKJV. The language is easier to understand

There’s no reference because it’s my material . If you would have read the first few lines I stated this is from a study I did

Try reading it. Then you would understand why some of us don’t believe the Alexandrian texts are the superior ones.
