Top Comments of this video!! :3
Finally competed watching this and this was brilliantly done. Thank you. If I've gotten anything from your videos since I started to watching your channel is that I can be confident that I have the word of God before me in any of the major Bible translations about today. While I read and use the ESV, it could have easily been the NIV, the NASB, the NKJV, the CSB or the NLT (although barring the NIV and NKJV, I couldn't get any of the others in hard copy in my country) and it would still be the word of God and I can read it and be saved. That is what is important to me. Thank you for all the hours you put into these videos and the interviews you've done. I particularly liked the one with Maurice Robinson.

I'm surprised you didn't touch on 1 Tim 3:16!
My only issue with this is that it doesn't really address the root of the KJV debate. The root isn't that there are variant readings in the TR, a number of KJV defenders are aware of this and have even addressed it to some degree (I'm thinking of Byran Ross with his discussion on Verbatim Identicality). With both sides having uncertainty with textual criticism in a number of places, each side is looking to some sort of authority to make those decisions MORE certain: The CT side looks to modern TC scholarship, that those scholars are God's providential way of preserving the Scriptures, the KJV/TR side looks to the KJV translators (and other scholars in the TR era) as God's providential way of preserving the Scriptures. I think the question really boils down to a theology. I think back to the debate between Kleeck and White, I would have loved to see white address the theology, but he continued to interact with manuscript evidence, I think this was the wrong approach.
With that being said... I'm a Byzantine guy, so we tend to find the authority among the Byzantine Manuscripts (yes, some textual scholarship is needed too) suggesting that God had preserved the Wording amongst those. C'mon Mark, become a Byzantine guy :P

The KJV was the bible given to me at my first Christmas, by my Sunday School teacher when I turned six, at my baptism, and several other occasions. I never read any of them. THEN came the TEV (Good News for Modern Man), first paperback NT, and later the complete bible in hardback. THEN, I began reading the bible, even as my pastor preached from J.B. Phillips' translation. I went to seminary and the translation of choice was the RSV. I have preached (and still do) from the '84 NIV for 40 years.
Having said all that, I had never even heard of KJVonlism until about two years ago. Wow!!
Yes, I have read it through, along with 6 other translations, and boy am I glad we them.
Just thought I'd share.
Thanks Mark!

Please consider that many of your listeners including me wonât read your articles but we will listen to you talk us through this. The information, as you volunteered, is weedy but it wasnât boring at all. Most importantly, putting in so much time and effort to put this in a digestible format for us plow boys and girls made it - available! And for that we thank you.
