Of course there are variations.   But that is not the issue, is it.   You believe that the original manuscripts have been lost,   and that God gave the KJV to the modern church as an inspired text !!   For you and your buds,   it is not a translation.   So you reject any and all textual comparisons or studies.   All of your information comes from web sites written and supervised by KJVonlyists.   Those are the ugly facts, my friend.    The King James is an inspired TEXT.  That's why you ridicule all who appeal to textual criticism   --  because you do not believe there are any MSS  that are not from Satan's pit.

Subject: [TruthTalk] Oldest & most CORRECTED MSS

"The Codex Sinaiticus has been corrected by so many hands that it affords a most

interesting and intricate problem to the palaeographer who wishes to disentangle

the various stages by which it has reached its present condition?" Kirsopp Lake,

Codex Sinaiticus - New Testament volume; page xvii of the introduction

This from a PROponent?

 

Tischendorf said he "counted 14,800 alterations and corrections in Sinaiticus."

Alterations, more alterations, and more alterations were made, and in fact, most of

them are believed to be made in the 6th and 7th centuries.

 

Tischendorf inspected the document and said "On nearly every page of the manuscript

there are corrections and revisions, done by 10 different people."

 

Tischendorf "?the New Testament?is extremely unreliable?on many occasions 10, 20,

30, 40, words are dropped?letters, words even whole sentences are frequently

written twice over, or begun and immediately canceled. That gross blunder, whereby

a clause is omitted because it happens to end in the same word as the clause

preceding, occurs no less than 115 times in the New Testament."

 

CORRECTED THRU OUT ALL AGES
Kirsopp Lake says there were three groups and even a four groups of correctors

that altered the codex. First, there were the "post Caesarean" possibly even those

"at the monastery of St. Catherine?s on Mt. Sinai." Second, there were "the

intermediate correctors, of which certainly the earliest, and possibly all belonged

to Caesarea. They are probably no earlier than the fifth nor later than the seventh

century." Third, there are the early correctors, all probably "belonging to the

forth and certainly no later than the fifth century." Finally, the latest

correctors altered the manuscript probably in the twelfth century.

 

Maybe this is where the saying came from?

Too many cooks spoil the broth
