I’m with you – I agree totally with your evidence and have been promoting that very set of data for quite some time. It says nothing about lining up with the KJV, but with the ancient copies.

This is definitely not correct. Indeed there are thousands of different versions and they differ in quite a few areas. They are nowhere near 100% perfect copies. For a good reference on this, I recommend starting with the audio course, “History of the Bible: The Making of the New Testament Canon” taught by Bart D. Ehrman of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (M.Div., Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary).

Dr. Ehrman touches on the subject of the many thousands of different versions and important differences. There are probably better compilations of the variations and source information, but this is a good starting point.

I think this is not correct. Many of the modern translations are derived from the KJV. The KJV itself was corrupted to a degree by King James to suit his views and what he wanted to believe. You are also leaving out the fact that there were many books of the bible that have been dropped over the millenia. Religious figures of the early christian church such as scribes, etc made decisions about what they considered to be canon or not. For that matter modern bibles that protestants use do not includes books that the catholic church considered canon.

This all sounds like the mouthpiece of one of the “great” theological seminaries, many of whom distort facts and present intelligently to promote their own purposes.
