I have discovered that many of the manuscripts that have been more recently discovered are of inferior quality and reliability, especially those within the last 150 years. These manuscripts, while they may be older, are not necessarily better and are less reliable than the manuscripts used to translate the King James.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, and if you disagree then we'll have to leave it at that, but any translation made after the King James is not a good one. Not even the "New King James" which I personally like to read.

Your degree in Biblical Studies is from WHERE again?

It sounds like you have been indoctrinated by the sloppy research of the KJV only crowd. Your statement is extremely incorrect.

But that is your choice. I am not going to waste my time proving the reliability of every MSS used in modern translations since it seems you have made up your mind.
