I apprecaite Rock of Ages and know personally many of their missionaries.Greetings, I just noted your post about the Rock of Ages Study Bible (ROA). I am Jerry L. Rockwell and the information you have is correct. The ROA is derived from the NewPilgrim Bible published by Oxford Univ. Press. The copyright was sold by Oxford to Rock of Ages Prison Ministry and they contracted with me to edit and change some of the notes and produce a study Bible to be used in the prisons. The ROA is available if you will go to my web site at www.vbcpierrepartla.com and click on the "Study Bible" tab it will tell you how to secure the ROA Study Bible.

My dad is a chaplain and he might be interested in this. I may send him a link to it......and produce a study Bible to be used in the prisons.

I did notice the refrence of the "Authorized Version" we all have come to know and love as the KJV.
Does this mean that RoA is KJVO?
Yes, and they remain probably the most doctrinaly sound ministries in the prisons today.:godisgood:From the statement of faith at the above website:
VICTORY BAPTIST CHURCHSo it appears to be so.
DOCTRINAL POSITION SUMMARY
1. The Scripture. We believe that the Bible, containing both the Old and New Testaments, is inerrant, infallible, and given by inspiration of God. Furthermore, we believe that God has providentially preserved His word in all its purity in the Authorized King James Version of 1611. It is our absolute and final authority for every matter; all other English versions are inferior. Psa. 12:6-7; 2Tim. 3:15-16; 2Pet. 1:19-21.
I'm sure the prisoners will appreciate your actions.Trust those who like that view will support RoA ministries. Our church will immediately drop support.
We will not tolerate a missionary or agency that attacks the doctrine of inspiration by espousing false doctrines of the KJVonly sect. To say that a man-made document (remember, not one Baptist was even involved in the Anglican translation in 1611) is "final authority" and that MY Bible (God's very own breathed words) is "inferior", shows how far down the slope they have gone.
Amen! Bro!I love ROA. They have won many souls for Christ. They will be rewarded.

This is what you said according to your punctuation.I appreciate their work that so few are willing to do even though I disagree.(, and think they have the liberty to stand where they want on versions,)
I'm sure the prisoners will appreciate your actions.
Thankfully, the only sect is a very very small minority and losing ground daily.
So you demand people fit your requirements before they can do a work fpr God?:tonofbricks:I will not have God's church supporting ministries we cannot oversee that are doing/teaching things in TOTAL OPPOSITION to the truth.
You don't speak for me.Would YOU support a prison ministry using non-KJV (whichever edition you think is perfect) material? Of course not. It was be duplicitous.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, you so "violently" love your brethren.:tear:We will focus on other, sound ministries that are not in the kjvonly sect that we so violently oppose.
Actually i see RoA gaining much "ground" everyday everytime they win a soul to Christ!Thankfully, the only sect is a very very small minority and losing ground daily.
This is what you said according to your punctuation.
you appreciate something you disagree with?
Seems your comment disagrees more with Dr. Bob's dropping them for support, I think.:type:
"'Noted Grammarian?'Hi Harold,
I appreciate a noted grammarian such as yourself taking the time out of your schedule to correct and critique my errors in comma usage. In the future I will take the time to try harder and meet your high standards of grammar and spelling. Thanks for the chance to make myself clear.
While I disagree with ROA's stand on the translation issue, I recognise (please allow me to liberty to use the alternate spelling I am now accustomed to) their right to take that stand. I also appreciate the marvellous work they are doing for the Lord in a work that many would not do.
If I have misused my commas again Harold, I would be glad to hear any needed corrections.
