This site claims that the NKJV uses the same TEXT as the KJV This is easily disproven by comparing the two texts
Should we? Anyone want to compare? JUST A NEW KJV? The NKJV removes the word "Lord" 66 times! The NKJV removes the word God 51 times! The NKJV removes the word "heaven" 50 times! In just the New Testament alone the NKJV removes 2,289 words from the KJV! --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > http://www.bibletexts.com/kjv-tr.htm > > The above will give an opposing opinion to Kevin's thinking. > > Know this - that the KJV in its original state included the > Apocrypha - which remains in the RCC bible.
