Hi:

The Bible says:

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away, Mt 24:35

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you, 1 Pt 1:24,25.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts, 2 Pt 1:19

The differences between the Critical Text and the Byzantine are so great that they produce two different Bibles. What scares me is the implicit argument of the CT that the Bible did not exist in its pure form until the mid to late 1800's. Such a supposition seems to contradict what Christ and His Apostles taught on the matter.

Any thoughts on this? Pro or Con?

Grace and Peace,

-CH
