Paul,

No thoughts, just a testimony.
Brother, I have blindly followed modern evangelical scholarship and outright rejected the KJV. Surely White and Carson could not be wrong? It was good in it's day, let's move on. I only use it to read the Scriptures to old people in nursing homes and hospitals.
That was then, now I am slowly doing my own research and I find myself retreating back to the old paths. Lately, I have been saying things in my sermons like, "I believe the KJV has it right and my NAS does not". I even desire to read the KJV for personal devotion and let the NAS collect dust. I am not sure what has come over me. Once a KJVO basher, now a KJV praiser coming out of the darkness.

Thank you for that Paul. I am right there with you. It really makes me mad because now I am beginning to question what I thought was the final word on Scripture, the once anointed NAS. I don't know about you, but when I use the KJV as my primary text I feel out of place or lost because I am so use to my NAS and where things are and how things read in Scripture.
Another thing that is interesting to note about the NAS is that it claims to have no differences in doctrinal issues. The haunting question for me is what about the doctrine of Bibliology and the inerrancy of scripture? If you come back and add/change/remove text by claiming to have a more accurate original "earlier" MSS are you not stating that you believe that what we have in the TR/Majority Greek text is wrong and is in error and thus by default messing with the doctrine of inerrancy of scripture?

Also, one would be amiss not to ask, what did the reformers and puritans use? Therein, I believe, is your answer. What did they whom God used most mightily in recent ages past,IMO, use as there primary mss?

That is also a great point Paul.
