BTW the following is something Mike Blume posted that I thought worth its salt.
You would have to do a websearch to find all the MANY details. But basically it is the text that is the source of all the corrupted manuscripts. The STEPHENS or ALZEVIR'S is the good one.
Nestle's text came along when people started critiquing the bible and wanting to know what was genuine scripture and what was not. They allegedly found previously unknown or unexamined new manuscripts. In other words, they accepted the thought that God's Word could have been lost. If that is the case, then God did not supernaturally preserve His Word, was He must have if He supernaturally inspired it. God can do anything. And I f he inspired it it only is logical that He preserve it.
Nestle's text was devised by Eberhard Nestle in 1898 and was a supposed step CLOSER to what they believe they will NEVER truly be able to arrive at: a genuine word of God. They believe THERE IS NO WORD OF GOD any more, since they say the true words written originally are lost. Once you go down that road, the devil makes you think that if some of it is wring, then what else is wrong, and your whole faith is thrown out the window in time.
