Schmuel
This is by taking the quotes from Dean John Burgon (who examined the 
manuscripts) vis a vis the scribal condition, various types of errors, in the 
most favored manuscripts, especially Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus.  
Note, the discussion here is scribal errors, not doctrinal questions or 
textual variants.

I have often checked whether anybody disagrees or rebuts these numbers and 
have never gotten a response indicating a challenge to the Dean John Burgon 
statements..  There are hundreds of scribal blunders.

Since I do not use a Bible that relies on those two corrupt manuscripts, this 
exposure of corruptions as no effect on making any reliability in the New 
Testament that I use, the King James Bible.  Nor any Received Text or 
Majority Text New Testament.  It only effects the nouveau corruptus modern 
versions.

Shalom,
