Hi =)

I have a question concerning the M-text, and NU-text in the footnote of my NKJV bible.

When I read Matthew 6, and when it comes to verse 13,
'for Yours is the kingdom and the power an the glory forever. Amen",
the footnote denotes that NU-text omits verse 13.

Now, as far as deciding authoritative text of scripture is concerned, how should we go about explaining the legitimacy (as in, it's authoritative and binding to all believers) or accuracy of the text when we have variation in M-text and NU-text?

And, how should we go about defending the inerrancy of scripture?

Thank you =)
 
Alex, textual variants and inerrancy do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Opponents of Christianity often know more about textual variants in the Christian Bible than Christians do, and use our ignorance to attack our belief in the Scriptures. So knowing something of the history of the transmission of the Bible is a good thing.

[edit] I thought I had two good lectures references but I am relistening to make sure.
