Not true. First of all, not all Bible versions produced since the 1880s are from the Greek text that you malign. There have been several translations produced using the Textus Receptus or the majority text.
There is a CLEAR line of demarcation between New Testament translations based on the Greek Majority text vs. the Alexandrian text and Codex Vaticanus (found in Vatican in 1475), and Codex Sinaiticus (discovered in 1850's).
The Textus Receptus was a translation from early Greek Majority texts by Erasmus and put into print. So when referring to the Textus Receptus (Received Text), it means non-Alexandrian text type, because that Erasmus rejected to use in his translations from the Greek.
Therefore, 'any' claimed modern... New Testament using just the Traditional Greek text is still... supporting a different group of manuscripts (Majority text) than
WH and
Novum Testamentum Graece.
Second, "The early Christian church" is the church from the first couple of centuries. The reason modern versions use a different Greek text is that all of the texts from the time period of "the early church" used a different greek text than that used to produce the KJV.
Wrong.
The 1611 KJV did not solely use the Textus Receptus, which by the way was only a translation from Greek Majority texts by Erasmus. This fact can be learned in the
Letter To The Reader and to King James written by the translators in the 1st edition of the 1611 King James Version Bible.
Therefore, your usage of the word "modern" is different than how it is actually used regarding New Testament translations post-1881 when Wescott and Hort presented to the revision committee their 'new' Greek translation from different Greek texts than the Traditional text.
It cannot be demonstrated that "the early church" used the texts you claim they used. Manuscripts from that time period are more in line with "the critical text" that you malign.
That is essentially a lie, if not absolutely a lie.
It is you that is pushing a LIE, because the early Church's quotes is one of the ways to verify that they used the Traditional Majority Greek texts, which explains why the Majority Greek texts make up over 2000 Greek manuscripts, showing wide usage and copying.
The 'modern' New Testament versions post-1881 instead use Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, and Alexandrian texts.
a. Codex Vaticanus was found buried in the Vatican in 1475, which reveals it was not of wide usage.
b. Codex Sinaiticus was found at a Greek monastery by Tischendorf in the 1850's who alone claimed its date, although he found it in a waste basket revealing it definitely was not respected as a viable Greek text. Pictures taken of the text reveal no sign of a document of antiquity compared with other ancient Greek texts, but instead one of modern origin, still very white in appearance.
c. The Alexandrian text was from the Christian school at Alexandria, Egypt, which was under heavy influence by Greek philosophy. Origen himself was excommunicated because of treating The Bible as pure allegory.
