Diana,
You have three camps believing that theirs is the best
text:
1) The Eclectic camp - The Nestle/Aland text - Older
manuscripts are better and conclusive conjectures can
be made, as to how various variant readings arose from
the autograph's reading.
2) The Majority/Byzantine camp - Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary's Maurice Robinson's
Majority/Byzantine Greek NT (published by Clinton
publishers) OR The "M" readings of the apparatus of
the Nestle/Aland text - This Majority text is based
upon the reading of the Majority of Greek NT
manuscripts (90%+) and examining of manuscripts'
individual reliability - this text is the Greek NT
that believers, throughout the centuries who have read
the Greek NT, have believed provientially to be the
Greek NT - The wide spread traditional text. A nice
edition is still being published in THE NKJV
GREEK-ENGLISH INTERLINEAR NEW TESTAMENT (Nelson
Publishers).
3) The Reformation Textus Receptus camp (beginning
with Erasmus) - The Greek NT popularized by the
Authorized Version - King James Version(and other
Reformation era translations)and is quite popularized
by the "KJV-Only" groups. It is similar to #2 but is
based upon a limited number of Greek NT manuscripts,
as opposed to #2. The Trinitarian Bible Society has
popular editions of this text.
Welcome to the controversy.
