Every major doctrine of of the Church can be proved using a translation based upon the TR (KJV, NKJV), the CT (NIV, NASB, etc.), or the MT (WEB).

Of course they are. What I got from the OP was 'Byzantine Priority model'. I'm just wading in right now but it looks like a valid, workable theory. Thanks for referencing that.

I also agree about the NKJV's excellent textual footnotes. It is my favorite mainstream translation. My favorite translation of all, however, is the World English Bible, which is based upon the Majority Text.

I had never heard of that translation but it look alright to me, thanks for that as well.

Grace and peace,
Mark
