In a word: no.
That sounds harsh, but here's why:
John 14:23-24 Jesus answered and said
unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will
love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that
loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent
me.
How can we love Jesus and keep His words, when
we don't have His words? If all we have is errant copies, we don't have His
words. We cannot keep His sayings, no matter how badly we want to, and we can't
love Jesus.
To keep God's words would include obeying them
as well as reading, studying, and memorizing them, which would require actually
HAVING them.
A Burger King version adherent doesn't even
HAVE the pure word of God. Thus he can't read, study, or memorize the pure word
of God. Therefore, a modern versionist cannot love Jesus, since he CANNOT KEEP
God's pure words.
In fact, a mv advocate doesn't even
believe GOD could keep His own words, much less than we could. If an mv advocate
claims he can keep God's pure words, even though God couldn't, he is admitting
that he is an authority over God and God's word.
