You have not shown that evidence. The burden of proof is on you BB.
New Versions Are Vatican Versions Part 1 of 3
Proof: Modern Translations are Catholic by Will Kinney
Here is the link to the article "Undeniable Proof
the ESV, NIV, NASBs are the new Catholic Vatican Versions
http://brandplucked.webs.com/realcath...
In this article you will see this quote:
I have a copy of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th
edition right here in front of me. It is the same Greek text as the
UBS (United Bible Society) 4th edition. These are the Greek readings
and texts that are followed by such modern versions as the ESV, NIV,
NASB, Holman Standard AND the new Catholic versions like the St.
Joseph New American Bible 1970 and the New Jerusalem bible 1985.
If you have a copy of the Nestle-Aland 27th edition, open the book
and read what they tell us in their own words on page 45 of the
Introduction. Here these critical Greek text editors tell us about
how the Greek New Testament (GNT, now known as the UBS) and the
Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece grew together and shared the
same basic text.
In the last paragraph on page 45 we read these words: "The text
shared by these two editions was adopted internationally by Bible
Societies, and following an agreement between the Vatican and the
United Bible Societies it has served as the basis for new
translations and for revisions made under their supervision. This
marks a significant step with regard to interconfessional
relationships. It should naturally be understood that this text is a
working text: it is not to be considered as definitive, but as a
stimulus to further efforts toward defining and verifying the text of
the New Testament."
There it is folks, in their own words. They openly admit that this
text is the result of an agreement between the Vatican and the UBS
and that the text itself is not "definitive" - it can change, as it
already has and will do so in the future, and is not the infallible
words of God but merely "a stimulus to further efforts".
And here is the link to "Are King James Bible believers "a cult" or
"idolaters"?

Thanks for all your help on these. I really appreciate it.

BB said, "The modern versions are perversions because they come from two corrupt Greek texts (Siniaticus
and Vaticanus)." You must provide evidence that using Siniaticus or Vaticanus would make a version a
Vatican version. You did not. Your Assertion is denied. You have provided no evidenced whatsoever.
The Vaticanus text is a Catholic and papal text. It is kept by the Vatican. It was found in the Vatican Libraury in 1481. This is not rocket science Wilkinson.
The Sinaiticus text is just another Vatican text, which was discovered in 1844 in St. Catherine's Monastery by Constantine Tischendorf.
To see the utter corruption of these two Vatican texts, click on each of the two following links given below:

BB said, "But there is one Bible that is the perfect, pure, and inerrant word of God. And that is the Authorized
King James Bible." You have once again made a completely unsubstantiated assertion. You must show that
what you have claimed is a fact. You have not provided any evidence to support your claim. Claim denied.
The King James Bible is the inerrant word of God. It is already a fact. There has not been one proven error ever found in the King James Holy Bible.

BB said, "The Authorized Version come from the right Hebrew and Greek texts, it is the text of the English
Reformation". To substantiate this unsupported claim you will need to prove which Hebrew and Greek texts
are the right ones. You will need to explain how you are able to make that determination.
The Masoretic readings which the King James Bible is based on are inerrant. The King James Bible is based upon the Ben Chayyim text except in the following two passages: Joshua 21:36-37 and Nehemiah 7:68. Those are the only two exceptions.
The general Greek texts which the King James Bible is based mainly on are the following three: Erasmus', Beza, and Stephanus.

BB said, "and it can be traced all the way back to Antioch." You will need show how the Hebrew text that you
consider right can be traced back to Antioch. You will also need to show how the Greek text you consider right
can be traced back to Antioch. By Antioch do you mean the Greek speaking Church that was located there in
the first few centuries?
