Question for Dr. Heiser: I've heard come up in the KJV-O debate concerning Wescott and Hort not to the extreme that they were "heretics" but that they "loosely held to the doctrines of inspiration and preservation of the Word of God" and in essence, made them out to be "liberals". Have you heard those come up in the KJV-O debate, and what would be your recommended response to such an argument? Thanks!

  2. Thanks Andrew for the link to the resource. I'll sure check it out. Some good observations, Rick. What are some of the main differences between WH and other critical editions such as NA?

  3. Side question: What are the textual differences between the Majority Text and the Textus Receptus that underlies the KJV? I've heard some professors use the terms MJ and TR interchangeably, while some have used the terms separately. Where I'm leading with this question is, why do KJV-O adherents have a problem with the NKJV, as well as would KJV-O adherents accept the new MEV translation hitting the market as an "acceptable" (in their eyes) modern equivalent to the KJV.

  4. Nathan, I don't know which Greek texts you have in your own Logos package, but you could compare them just like you would compare English texts using this tool: Tools/Passage/Text Comparison Then, on the comparison line you could replace KJV, NIV, RSV or the like with the abbreviations for various Greek version like the following: * Elzevir1624 (the TR of 1624) * 1550MR (Stephens TR of 1550) * TR1881 (Scrivner TR of 1881) These all puport to be Textus Receptus, which you could then compare against a critical text like the following. * NA28 (Nestle-Aland ed 28, or NA26, NA27)
