In 1851, publisher Daniel Macmillan suggested to two Cambridge professors that they participate in an interesting and comprehensive "New Testament Scheme" that is, to undertake a joint revision of the Greek New Testament. Privately and without authorization of the Church of England, Fenton John Anthony Hort and Brooke Foss Westcott, who later became an Anglican bishop, 24. proceeded to create, not a revision, but an altogether New Greek Text. 25. According to Dr. Hort, the intention of the revisers was to radically alter the Traditional or Majority Text. "Our object is to supply clergymen generally, schools, etc., with a portable Greek Text which shall not be disfigured with Byzantine corruptions." 26. The correction of "Byzantine corruptions" by Hort and Westcott was, in fact, the substitution of corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts for the Textus Receptus, the text which agrees with the majority of manuscripts extant today.

Westcott, Vol. I, p. 207. said "For I too 'must disclaim settling for infallibility.' In the front of my convictions all I hold is the more I learn, the more I am convinced that fresh doubts come from my own ignorance, and that at present I find the presumption in favor of the absolute truth -- I reject the word infallibility -- of Holy Scripture overwhelming."

But the problem does not justify the wholesale removal of words phrases & verses from God's word.

Lance, what does that have to do with anything regarding the Word of God? Whether America and the West remain on top or China takes over, nations rise and fall, but the Word of God stands unchallenged forever. We should attempt to keep it as pure as possible in whatever language it is translated. But you have made a good point; I have no idea how to translate bread into banana chips. Hopefully the translators do not have a political agenda that are doing the translating, and have prayed with pure hearts to be led by the Holy Spirit. izzy

Yes Virginia, there really are languages other than English.

Thesis:The implosion of the West (including USA). The ascendency of the two most populous nations on earth; China and India. (See Ted Fisman's 'China Inc.:How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World' 2005 (It is a good read/listen)

So this is an example of how the KJV is in error Bill?

IMO the error is with your understanding rather than with the text of the KJV translation. You have read something into the text that is not there and have made a straw man to knock down. The word sanctification does not necessarily mean an action being performed; the same word is used in 1 Cor 7:14 for an unbelieving wife who is sanctified (set apart, consecrated) by the faith of her husband. In this sense "sanctified" means something entirely different from what you describe. So IOW "By one offering Jesus has perfected for ever them that are set apart, consecrated (or sanctified)."

Is there someone here who speaks Judy's language that could maybe explain to her the meaning of a present passive verb? If she respects you, she may listen. The same goes for Kevin; he needs your help, too.

Thanks,

Bill
