My clock analogy seems to have been an epic fail. I should have posted only this portion, as it suffices (I think) to summarize what I was trying to say.

Now, in the case that there are 20 clocks, and only one is different while 19 all show the identical same time--which time would a wise person trust?

That is exactly the situation with the Bible manuscripts. The "Majority Text" is a subset of all known copies of the Bible manuscripts comprising about 95% of them. Only 1 in 20 manuscripts differs, and is part of the Alexandrian text, or "Neutral Text" as it was christened by Westcott and Hort--after they had edited and revised the original copies.

I will bump this topic as it relates to some others currently under discussion.

I would be more general and say I know of none of your analogies which are not epic failures. smile

You're still insisting more is better. The majority of North Americans are obese. Does that mean obesity is the correct weight?

precision != accuracy

I notice you said that the text was 'edited and revised'. Why?
To make it more 'neutral'? Or more to their liking?

However, if we are talking about clocks or wallpaper, I would put greater weight on the "majority vote." But in matters of theology, the majority has no vote; only God's vote counts. Our job is to find out what that is, and it is often found in the minority opinion.

Are we calling scriptures or their manuscripts "opinion?"

I agree in terms of human interpretations that the majority is usually wrong. However, we are not talking here about interpretations. We are talking about manuscripts.

So why don't we go with the correct interpretation rather than with the majority vote then?

Isn't one of the main arguments the idea that Westcott and Hort inserted their own opinions in their manuscripts? The crux of the disagreement is that one man's manuscript is another man's opinion. How do you determine which is which? It cannot simply be by majority vote.

The Vaudois didn't have Westcott and Hort. They didn't have the Douay-Rheims. They had the "uncorrupted" truth. Their Bible was of the same lineage as the manuscripts of the Majority Text.

Mrs. White affirmed the lineage of the Waldensian Bible. We have inspiration to go on, not mere opinion or majority vote.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

And another one.


Is the "uncorrupted" truth referring to a specific Bible version or is it referring to uncorrupted truth? How many versions did they have at that time?

You waffle with "same lineage". If "uncorrupted" means a specific Bible they are using, you should only use it as they used it and not have any of the "corrupted" English words in it.
