For someone who claims not to have read Ruckman, you know him well.


Sorry dude, I have never read a book by Ruckman.

Your goal here is to try and anger me, in a desperate attempt to misdirect the attention.


Herami really knows you. It is us who misdirects? You have not posted an original thought yet. I am not trying to anger you, but to show you that you FEAR the KJV (only God knows why) and it shows in all your posts.

Quote:
Funny, your friend Chip has strongly called this story a lie. I know of many KJVO authors who have done the same. Which is it?


I don't know Chip, and until he tells me it is a lie I will believe it is you lying about him. I have more than one source that says the exact same thing about Erasmus. Why do you continue to call them KJVO authors? You show your total ignorance of our position, and I believe people like you misrepresent it on purpose.

Quote:
Didnt he strongly feel that this manuscript was a fabrication?


There is absolutely NO evidence that Erasmus believed anything of the sort. You might want to say it is, but the evidence is that it is genuine. He would be totally dishonest knowingly using a fabricated manuscript in his 3rd edition of his Greek text.

Quote:
So we agree that the Byzantine manuscript record does not support it?


No we do not agree. I am still having trouble locating my notes. Sorry I will not take your word on anything.

Quote:
I dismiss it on the grounds that I do not believe the evidence supports it.


What more evidence do you need? You refuse because of your blind hatred for the KJV. What else fuels the fire aginst the KJV in your heart?

Quote:
Why is it absent from nearly all manuscripts?


Of course God preserved it in some. The devil's number one goal is to bring doubt about God's Word, as He did in the garden with Eve he has done through the centuries. I reject the critical text for apparent reasons.

I find myself to the point of not even bothering to answer you because of your total blind bias. You claim you don't hate it, but you attack it at every turn and went as far to say that there are things in it you would burn. The devil would be proud of you for making a staement that he would support.

BTW, why did it take 270 years to come up with another english translation? I think this point has never been answered by the adversaries of the KJV.
