“And biblical manuscripts were not?”
Kosta, compared to the agenda driven English translations, starting with the KJV, the old Codex manuscripts are positively pristine! :)
You know that's not true, Kolo. the 4th century Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are full of differences and Codex Alexandrinus, a mere century later, is almost like a different book. Not to talk about various shreds and 'chads' form earlier days.
But the more time progressed and more corrupt copies of copies of copies entered into circulation, the more the corruption multiplied. Certainly, KJV is at the apex of that process, both linguistically and otherwise compared to the earlier ones. After all, 1,600 had years passed since the originals were presumably written, and then subsequently lost in translation and otherwise.
