what’s going on with GOD in genesis 6:5?
Genesis 6:5, KJV: 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Look through the KJV for the word ‘God.’ You’ll notice that it’s almost always spelled ‘God’ with only one upper-case letter, except in the [...]

robinson and pierpont collated against the kjv, post 4
(cf. post 1, oh no, okay, post 2, post 3) After four days of work, I now have all the differences between the KJV and the Byzantine textform. The list is just like the previous ones. There’s 69, bringing us to a Matthew, Mark, Luke total of 155. Related Posts:The Transfiguration — The Synoptic Gospels [...]

robinson and pierpont collated against the kjv, post 3
(cf. post 1, oh no, okay, post 2) This project of comparing the Byzantine text against the KJV has been progressing faster than a thought. About a day ago, I finished making it through all the variants in the book of Matthew. Now I’m finished sorting through every variant in Mark, and making a list [...]

(cf. post 1, oh no, okay) So here’s the rest of the differences between RP and KJV in Matthew, set up in the same format as before: KJV to RP.

okay . . . things aren’t that complicated
I had, a little while back, decided to start plowing my way through a Greek collation of Scrivener against Robinson-Pierpont in order to list all the places where the KJV deviates from the Byzantine text. I was disconcerted to learn, however, that it has been said that Scrivener does not always accurately represent the text [...]

oh, no . . . things get more complicated
My last post was on the beginnings of an effort I’m making to check Robinson-Pierpont’s Greek text against that underlying the KJV (Scrivener’s) to determine exactly where the KJV would read differently had it been based upon the RP-GNT. But now I find out here (2d paragraph) that Scrivener’s Textus Receptus differs in eleven or [...]
robinson and perpient collated against the kjv, post 1
Recently, in an earlier post, I lamented a bit about how even highly educated members of Christianity remains sadly ignorant on matters of textual criticism. And then I thought to myself: what can I do for that situation? And I came up with something that’s not a solution, but might be a tiny step forward–collating [...]

watch out for deceivers, they say I am the christ . . .
Yesterday, in the meeting of the church that meets in our house (I know that probably makes us freaks in some people’s books, but bear with me), a friend of ours pointed out a most interesting thought about Matthew 24:5, which I here quote in the KJV: For many shall come in my name, saying, [...]
