First, we are speaking of a Protestant Reformation Bible.
Second, yes, if the Roman and Orthodox churches do not use the Received texts they are not using the correct texts.
Nothing 'circular' about it at all.
Funny, how NIV and NASB users do not seem to love their bibles like the King James believers do theirs? There's a difference between loving our Bibles and fixating and obsessing, and in a way, worshipping our Bibles. And besides, it truly seems that you love "your" Bible, and not what's actually in it. Just the name of the KJV and it's style of prose, not what it says.
No, I do not find any NIV 'only' people, or NASB 'only' people.
They just prefer that translation.
King James believers know that they are reading the very words of God, hence their love for the Book.
Most of us choose to love the words in the Bible, and even more importantly, the Trinitarian God behind it.
Well, good, then you need pure words, not corrupt ones like the ones from the corrupt Critical text of the Roman Catholic church, used in all the modern versions (except the NKJ which uses the correct NT text but not the correct Old Testament text)
Maybe its because we know our is pure (Psa.119:140) And ours isn't? You don't know how cultic you sound here, with your exclusive and elitist attitude.
No, it isn't.
I posted an article on the Greek text by the TBS, you should read and find out why the Received text is the pure text and the Critical text isn't.
As for the apostasy in the churches, do you know one major denomination that is not going apostate? (Rev.3) All of the Protestant sects started apostate. Every apostate move since then is irrelevant.
No, the Protestant churches returned to the Bible and got out of apostasy, the RCC.
The Catholic and Orthodox Churches remain true, even if individuals or organized groups within these sects have gone apostate (which is nothing new anyway, since ever since two individuals in these groups have disagreed, usually one of them has gone apostate). The Church of England long ago gave up their King James Bibles for the modern versions, hence the rise in apostasy! Logical fallacy. Just because event B happened after event A does not mean event A caused event B.
No, it doesn't, but if we look for a common element on apostasy, the first sign of it is when the church gives up its Bible for alternative authorities like Popes, Councils, Priests,Creeds, Scholars etc.
