I guess we are off topic. I tried not to post, but the post keep coming. I hope this will be my last post, but for now I would like to say there are only two streams of texts and Bibles coming down through the centuries. (1)There is the pure stream that the KJV is based on, which is the text of the Bible believers for the past 1900 years. It is the text of the Waldensians, Anabaptists, and the other ancestors of true Baptists. It was the text of Luther and the Reformation. (2) There is the polluted stream that all the modern versions are based upon. It is the text of Origen, Constantine, Eusebius, the Westcott & Hort, and all of the apostates today. I have never met a modernist yet that said that the King James was the best or the most accurate. They all prefer something else.
None of the popular versions are translated from the Textus Receptus, and this includes the New King James Version. A careful reading of the Preface will reveal that it is not based entirely on the same texts that underly the King James Version. By the way the King James Bible is the only one that does not have a copyright. I wonder why that is? Could it be God said to publish it. Psalms 68:11 “The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.� I guess I am just simple enough to Trust God!
