Translations of the Word of God are confessions of faith
If you want to expose modern day Reformed Christians who bravely identify themselves as confessional (the Westminster Standards or the Three Forms of Unity or both) yet who demand Alexandrian, Critical Text bibles that are 'play-doh' in the hands of any man who demands them to be what he wants them to be introduce them to the fact that translations of the Bible are confessions of faith. They will have to think about it for a while, looking for easy ways to refute it, but they won't be able to. (The fact is they aren't even confessional regarding their confessions of faith because they demand they be changed, and do change them, at their will as well.)
The Bible that is my confession of faith is the Authorized Version 1611. (And notice we don't change it? Liberals change it and appropriate it as they change it, but God's elect don't follow them when they do it.) The Critical Text Christians mock me for having the Authorized Version 1611 as my confession of faith. (Come to think of it they also mock me for considering the so-called pope of the Roman Beast church to be the anti-Christ even though the Westminster Confession of Faith that Reformed Christians affect to hold to as their confession states that he is.)
Critical Text Christians have Roman Catholic confessions of faith regarding their Alexandrian 'bibles.' The Spirit has yet to enable them to see the Word of God as something that is above them. It is mere play-doh in their hands.
The pedigree of the AV1611 as confession of faith compared to the poisonous Critical Text candy is similar to the pedigree of the Heidelberg Catechism or the Westminster Confession of Faith compared to the Presbyterian Confession of 1967. The fact that modern day Calvinists can see that the Confession of 1967 is watered down and corrupt doctrine yet refuse to see the same in the modern versions based on the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts shows that when it comes down to it - the foundation of the faith that is the Word of God - they are not capable of accepting that the Word of God is something that is above them.
