If you are referring to the KJV being a bad choice I will take the KJV over the corrupt Alexandrian descendent bibles any day of the week.

This is something I've heard all the time from those devoted to KJV-olatry. So, tell us, what is "corrupt" about the Alexandrian text and then demonstrate, using standard techniques of linguistic and textual analysis, how it differs from the autograph texts.

Looks like you already have an opinion about me, thats very wrong. As far as textual criticism is concerned. Look at who is pushing it and what they believe. Westcott and Hort were 19th century occultists. Look up the "Ghostly guild" look at the lives of the people who came up with their so-called greek text. Look at the secret meetings that were part and parcel with the RSV translation committee.

A lot of apostate hands are on the modern versions and the greek text that backs those translations.

As far as the autographs are concerned they no longer exist but I have more than 4500 greek texts that backup my KJV as opposed to the 3 that are Alexandrian in origin.

Many of the proponents of the modern versions don't even believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Or in salvation by faith alone in Jesus. Why would I listen to anything they had to say?

I don't read after non-believers.
