Top Comments of this video!! :3
This has to be the best presentations addressing issues between variants, textual differences between the TR, MT, CT I have heard. This really boost my confidence in reading various translations without having doubts and worries about which underlying text was used. Thank you so much for all your hard work. May God bless you for your work to help address the devisions doubts causes by these arguments.

What a surprising conclusion to come to! As always, enjoy your thoughtful take on the issues, and it’s hard for me to imagine how much work it took to get to the point where you can share such useful info with us. I knew some differences were because of translation choices but had no idea how much of the variation stemmed from this rather than the underlying text. Thanks much

Thank you for advertising this remarkable Bible study tool. And thank you for your closing comments that affirmed Christians using Bibles from both the TR and CT. Since I’ve studied out the translation issue, I’ve wrestled with whether I need to “fully commit” to one camp or the other. I currently serve at a church that uses the NKJV, a TR-based translation. But I happily consult and study from CT-based Bibles as well. Do I need to choose? How long will I limp between two opinions? 😏 But your closing thoughts helped me see the value in holding on to both. For now, I’ll continue to study primarily from a TR Bible. But if the Lord ever opened the door to another ministry that used a CT Bible, I would have little to no trouble adjusting. I like that flexibility a lot.

Your work on this is really great. For a while I have thought about how the difference between translations could come from either the manuscripts or from nearly stylistic differences. I wondered what a TR in the idiom of the ESV would look like or the Latin Vulgate in the idiom of the ESV. Thank you!

Thank you, Mark! This is site is truly helpful and look forward to digging deeper into it in the future. Your third point echoes my recent feelings after reading Dave Brunn's book "One Bible, Many Versions" where he addresses how the common literal translations are not all that literal (compared to something like YLT) and the difficulties of Biblical translation in general. I finished the book feeling that my own struggles between TR/CT, and our vast selection of excellent versions, was extremely petty compared to those that none or even just one translation in their own language. As Dr Wallace says, it truly is an embarrassment of riches.

Thanks for doing this video Mark. I want to add something that might help someone out there. Scrolling through these tool pages does indeed point out the vast similarity between the two different texts. But what about when I compare two common English translations in Logos and see apparently many more differences than show up here...? This tool shows differences in the Greek texts, as they would be directly translated in English.....the differences we see between English translations demonstrate differences in translator choices...not necessarily the underlying Greek texts. Thanks again.

I adore the NASB and NKJV. It is so important to realize an English translation is still a translation. We must rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment and clarification. Thank you so much for your vlog. Blessings to you.💗💗💗
