[Rambler]

It was those texts and their unified historical and geographically diverse testimony which Erasmus (a less than entirely loyal Roman priest/scholar) assembled and edited into the great Textus Receptus which became the basis for the creation of all the great Protestant bibles

The Textus Receptus was compiled from a total of 7 Greek manuscripts, none of which was dated earlier than the 11th century. The texts used are still available today and are generally judged to be of low quality. So incomplete were these texts that Erasmus had to translate part of the Vulgate from Latin to obtain the Greek, and he even acknowledges the poor quality work. Today there are over 5000 Greek manuscripts available to scholars, many of these older than those available to Erasmus.

[George W. Bush]

Your grasp of the history of the Greek families and Erasmus' work is the usual hit piece on him and his work. I won't even bother to dissect the flaws of such shallow treatment of his work and its demonstrated historical veracity.

Far more serious, you fail to note the glaring and inesapable defects in the Textus Sinaiticus and Textus Vaticanus, manuscripts so corrupt that even Rome won't use them or permit a full scholarly inspection of them.
