\"Majority\" or \"Recieved\" vs. \"Critical\" text?
Here on the board members generally use either the ESV or NKJV. I am interested...
1.Why the CT is being used more frequently now (newer translations, etc) and there have not been any translations of the RT (except NKJV 1979)? Is there a reason for this...maybe the NKJV is considered top of the line.
2.Does it really matter if you use a translation from CT or RT? Is the disagreement between use of CT and RT because of historical use, etc?
