This is very interesting.

One thing that I'm not sure about is "providential preservation". Haven't these texts been in the church for longer then the reformation? The reason I ask is because of these statement:
Quote:
The third theory uses providential preservation to support the King James when it does not follow the majority text.
Quote:
...Regardless of the witness of the majority of manuscripts or of the modern versions
Quote:
... the King James preserves the true text. In other words, God guided sixteenth century scholars to the true text and it has been preserved in the King James version.
