Vaticannus and Sinaiticus are both known to have been prepared by the Alexandrian gnostics, and both show deliberate ‘editing’ where text in agreement with the majority texts was scraped off and replaced with gnostic nonsense. They are a collection of paprii from various sources, and their dates vary.

The “received texts” are in general much older than either of those modified codices, and represent excellent agreement among them.

Bibles not based on the majority received texts are in general very gnostic

Post your sources for this information ?

Prove the KJV has no gnostic influence while you're at it

Do you always miss the relevent point so completely?

There is nothing that is without Gnostic influence, but your promoted texts just happen to be the very worst examples available. They were even found in known gnostic strongholds.
