Riiiiight.... I'm gonna trust them to make the "perfect Bible."

I suppose if the measure of a trustable Bible is the perfection of those who were involved in translating it then you better throw out all those that Westcott and Hort had a hand in.

Happy Labor Day Weekend jude24! ;^)

See, thats the thing. For all the character assasination of Westcott and Hort, I've never seen any concrete proof that they were off-kilter. I dont trust Riplinger et al.

I've read Westcott (one of my elders is really into history, and he has a book on NT criticism by Westcott. I don't recall the title though. It might have been GENERAL SURVEY OF THE HISTORY OF THE CANON OF THE NT -- that would fit with the topic I was researching.) Admittedly, I can't claim to be exhaustive (I didn't read all of the book, since I decided that it wouldn't be helpful to what I was researching for, nor did I have time to read the whole thing), but I certainly can say that I got a sense that Westcott had an immense respect for the NT text.

Look at how frequently Westcott is cited by McDowell's EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT.
