Westcott and Hort based their Greek text upon the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. These two texts came out of Alexandria and are notoriously untrustworthy.

Are they ipso facto untrustworthy because they came out of Alexandria?

(That is the argument of Riplinger and Ruckman, whom I trust less than Hillary Clinton....)

I have not read anything by Riplinger or Ruckman so I can't comment on their arguments. However on Ruckman I can tell you that the seminary I attend is in Pensacola where Ruckman has his base and their is no love lost between my school and Ruckman.

I am basing my argument on what I've read from Edward F. Hills (a respectable Reformed scholar) and Theodore Letis.
