In the 2008 Greer-Heard debate series, noted New Testament scholars [[Bart Ehrman]] and [[Daniel B. Wallace]] discussed these variances in detail. Wallace mentioned that understanding the meaning of the number of variances is not as simple as looking at the number of variances, but one must consider also the number of manuscripts, the types of errors, and among the more serious discrepancies, what impact they do or do not have.<ref>{{Cite book|editor-first= Robert B.|editor-last= Stewart|year= 2011|title= The Reliability of the New Testament: Bart Ehrman and Daniel Wallace in Dialogue|location= Minneapolis, Minnesota|publisher= [[Fortress Press]]|isbn= 978-0-8006-9773-0|oclc= 646121910|postscript= <!-- Bot inserted parameter.

For hundreds of years, biblical and textual scholars have examined the manuscripts extensively. Since the eighteenth century, they have employed the techniques of [[textual criticism]] to reconstruct how the extant manuscripts of the New Testament texts might have descended, and to recover earlier [[recension]]s of the texts. However, [[Authorized King James Version|King James Version (KJV)]]-only inerrantists often prefer the traditional texts (i.e., [[Textus Receptus]] which is the basis of KJV) used in their churches to modern attempts of reconstruction (i.e., [[Novum Testamentum Graece|Nestle-Aland Greek Text]] which is the basis of modern translations), arguing that the [[Holy Spirit]] is just as active in the preservation of the scriptures as in their creation.
KJV-only inerrantist Jack Moorman says that at least 356 doctrinal passages are affected by the differences between the Textus Receptus and the Nestle-Aland Greek Text.<ref>Jack Moorman, ''Missing In Modern Bibles - Is the Full Story Being Told?'', Bible for Today, 1989, 83 pages</ref>
