With that said, when we compare the modern-day Bibles with the King James, the Bishops Bible, Douay, many differences stand out concerning certain important doctrines. For example, is Jesus the only begotten of the Father, or is he the Westcott and Hort version "the one and only son?" Only begotten in Greek holds a significant meaning concerning the Son, where "one and only" is vague because we are all called sons, but "only begotten" belongs to Jesus alone.

May I beg to differ to your Westcott and Hort's use of "the one and only son," as you will see below Mounce lexicon definition of the Greek word "monogenes" in John 1:18 as only-begotten and etc.

And besides if you compare Westcott and Hort with NAS95 in rendering of the text, it says "the only-begotten God" which was supported by the oldest manuscripts the papyrus 66 and papyrus 75, a contrast to the Arians beliefs of Jesus nature.

May we know what is your interpretation of the KJV translation of 1 John 5:7?
And why the text differs to many translations?

Let me end with this. If you are comfortable using the N.W.T. or the N.I.V. or a similar work, that's up to you; it will be your choice. But as you read and study, please don't forget to pray that the Holy Spirit can help you get through the tangle of confusion.

That's your reply to what I wrote in post #16?

I just demonstrated that you quoted Wescott and Hort out of context. And, in doing so, you gave a completely false impression of what they had to say about the authority of Scripture. You were essentially spreading lies about their views on that topic.

Surely, that should generate some kind of apology or retraction, no?

Well, we all have opinions. I still believe the two had an Arian bent.
