Thanks for giving a somewhat different perspective on who stands where on
this issue, Rod. And yes, could we please move away completely from this
discussion? It was perfectly appropriate to state factually the manuscript
basis of the major recensions of the Greek New Testament in use; it is NOT
appropriate to this list to talk about which groups find which recension
preferable on theological grounds and why. Let's get back to the Greek text
of the Bible itself, please.
