@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews Personally, I think it’d be a very worthwhile endeavor to manually examine each textual variant, however small it may be, and produce a Greek text that aligns equally with early Greek manuscripts, early translations, and patristic citations - a text whose timeline spans all the way from the pen of Mark to the scriptoriums of Byzantium. That’d give us a pretty good idea of exactly what the early church was reading as a collective whole - a snapshot of the apostolic and patristic era.

People who do not care about textual criticism clearly do not care about Bible exposition which is preceded by exegesis, and exegesis which is preceded by hermeneutics. So, this is my way of saying that, you are doing great work and I absolutely love your guest.

@@jwatson181 At no point in this video did Maurice say. "I reject the King James Version as an accurate English translation, and its underlying Greek text, the Textus Receptus, as a reliable Greek text. To the contrary, Dr. Maurice Robinson considers the Byzantine family of text (from which the Textus Receptus is derived) more reliable than the Alexandrian, from which the Critical Text - Nestle-Aland is derived. I perceiveth thou hath a very convoluted and selective sense of hearing. Thou seemeth more concerned with attacking the value of the King James as a translation, than concerned with supporting the fact that God hath promised to preserve His words. And that seems like a strange adversarial approach, for one who claims to believe in Jesus as The Messiah.

It's not exactly "mainstream," but the Greek/Eastern Orthodox New Testament (EOB) is a translation of the Patriarchal Greek New Testament of 1904, which is a Byzantine Text. The Patriarchal Text is the "received text" in the truest sense of the words (more so, I would argue, than the Textus Receptus) as it was based on over 100 lectionaries (from Mount Athos, Constantinople, Athens, and Jerusalem), giving a primary witness to the text as it was actually received by the Church and used in her worship. And it was originally published by commission of Patriarch Constantine V in response to the craze of eclectic textual criticism taking hold of Europe at that time. Just want to throw that in as an historical nugget since it seems a lot of people don't really know about the Patriarchal Text if they're not actual Greeks and/or Orthodox.

⁠@@HickoryDickory86I find it so odd that the newly-released Orthodox Study Bible uses the New King James for the NT instead of the translation you cited) I was SO very disappointed as I was expecting a distinct translation like the EOB in the NT Any ideas why they would opt for the NKJV?

@@AnHebrewChild It's mainly because the Orthodox Study Bible's pioneer, Fr. Peter Gillquist, was an editor for Thomas Nelson at the time of its inception, and St. Athanasius Academy (which he helped found as an arm of the then-Evangelical Orthodox Church) partnered with Thomas Nelson for its production. And logistically, the Study Bible (NT and Psalms published in 1993; full Bible in 2008) preceded the completion and publication of the EOB NT (2011). And perhaps also because Thomas Nelson are loathe to publish anything they don't own the copyright to. In fact, the Old Testament in the Orthodox Study Bible is more or less a revision of the NKJV Old Testament for the Jewish/Protestant Canon books, and of Brenton's for the Deuterocanonical books not in the NKJV. In fact, the original Study Bible in 1993 was criticized by Orthodox clergy for using the straight NKJV Psalms. Because of this, they edited the NKJV OT text to bring it in line with Rahlfs' Septuagint for the complete Bible in 2008. I am sad that the EOB project is dead (apparently due to lack of support), because I would have loved for them to complete the whole Septuagint (a planned thorough revision of Brenton's). I also would love for the Orthodox Study Bible to replace the NKJV NT with the EOB NT, but sadly I don't see it happening. Maybe someday I and a few others can pick up the EOB mantle, finish the Septuagint, and create our own Orthodox study Bible. I would like to see the creation of a Byzantine Majority Septuagint first, though, since even the OT text published by the Church of Greece today is more or less just a light revision of Rahlfs'.

As with all translations, the flaws are numerous. It’s simply impossible to literally translate between two languages, and the differences in grammar of Greek and English make it even more so. I don’t mean to denigrate any translation by admitting that fact, however. If you’re interested in learning Greek, I can heartily recommend Bill Mounce’s “Basics of Biblical Greek” as a great starting point.@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews

Amen y'all I kind of got the feeling I'm still kind of a white belt when it comes to studying these things but to me it seems like the critical text is often used man's ingenuity man's science to cut and paste together and then call it close to the inspired? Plus I don't like how the critical scholars use the phrase more reliable or older manuscripts It sounds like they are being critical with other scholars but not with themselves!!

Why some have problems with Reasoned eclecticism. I John 5:7 is found in a majority of the Latin, but not the Greek so out it goes. Good will towards men Doxology in Matthew Without cause God manifest in the flesh Are a majority in the Greek but not in the Latin, so out they go The PA and Mark 16:9-20 are a majority in both the Greek and Latin so out they go. Even the “not yet” found in the two of the earliest(P66.P75) in John 7:8 some throw out. If as an orthodox Christian you don't see a problem, what would you see as a problem?

True. Regarding Reasoned eclecticism: Finally brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you: *and that we may be delivered from **_unreasonable_** men:* for all men have not faith. Not every professing Christian actually has faith. Lack of faith leads to calling unreasonable thinking, 'reasonable.' By this I'm not making any judgment on any individuals, just a general observation. be blessed

I should add: due to our Lord's words in Mat13:24ff as well as John6:12 I tend, by principle, toward a FULLER, LONGER reading. This leads inevitably to the words of the Byzantine & received. On the same principle, side note, I tend toward a broader "canon." I'm happy with my KJV with apocrypha (in essence this is the Greek Orthodox 80 book bible) :] Anyway, out of all the comments on this video.. I really really appreciated yours. Thanks for what you wrote.
