When I say that the Hebrew and Greek correct the English, what I am suggesting is that where they differ (Matthew 23:24 for example) the Greek is correct and the English is not. I often use my Textus Receptus to be sure that I am correctly understanding the wording of the AV.

Aloha HM,
The fact is there is
NO ONE: "GREEK TEXT". And there is
NO ONE "HEBREW TEXT". And
IF there is
NO ONE "AUTHORITATIVE TEXT" (in either "original language") that physically exists - then you have a "
Phantom Text" as your FINAL AUTHORITY in all matters of faith and practice.
You are LIMITING God's "Inspiration" (concerning His "words") to the "ORIGINALS" (either the "original manuscripts" or the "original languages") Please read the following Threads and Posts - they be of some help in understanding where some of us are coming from:
