The Textus Receptus, dating from the 15th century, is thus 11 centuries removed from both the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. Using Ehrman's doctrine that the earlier texts must be closer to the originals than later copies it would seem that the TR is little more than a politically correct ( for its day) pile of propaganda.
BTW, Erasmus who was a catholic scholar dedicated the work to Pope Leo X who is best known for selling the indulgences that Luther despised. In fact, I bet that dedication scorched Luther's nut sack.
