Thanks again for your hard (boring & tiring) work.

Hi brother. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I agree with what you say about all the manuscript evidence and textual criticism methods. The evidence is overwhelmingly on the side of the King James 'type' of Bible, but few if any are convinced by these arguments.
However, once you take the position that God meant what He says again and again about how "the Scripture cannot be broken", "the word of the Lord endureth forever" and "heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away", and if you believe that God cannot lie nor is He confused, then the weaknesses of all the modern versions become far more evident.
