    I worry about D. Min. Theses when there are spelling and grammatical errors in the finished product (e.g. "controversey" on the title page: "Adams wrote in an 1854,“ p. 17, etc.). Does not reflect well on either the author, supervisor, or first reader who signed off on it. .

    "Abstract

    This study is designed to approach the present translation controversy from a biblical
    perspective by demonstrating that, by creating King James Only doctrines not found in the
    Scriptures, King James Only advocates deny both the sole authority and the complete
    sufficiency of the Scriptures. Their unbiblical assumptions about the King James
    translation and its underlying texts transform the debate from a debate over translations
    into a critical doctrinal debate over their acceptance of a dual authority created by their
    man-made doctrines and their refusal to submit to both the moral and doctrinal authority of
    the Scriptures."

    It's called being a branch in the vine.

    How else do you think I bare so much fruit?

    You just made 7 posts of the best links that you found on the Internet that I've seen, in response to my thread at: The New Testament teaches The Doctrines of Grace.

    Good work. Thank you very much.

    That's some great fruit in my book.

    They all need to be made into their own threads.

    If any of the others of my post cause you trouble,
    let me know and I'll be glad to draw you a picture. :Cool

    No excuse even for a "first grade" reader.... Look at his bibliography and see the spelling disasters for numerous names that will make one howl.

    Granted, the writer was 72 (and an "adjunct professor" at Liberty, by his own statement!) when he presented his thesis, but still no excuse for the supervisor or first reader — both of whom should have required careful proofreading and correction before acceptance.

    I didn’t make it past the table of contents before I lost interest. For the most part, my only contact with KJVO is here on the BBoard…I have ignored the few people I’ve met face-to-face that espouse the fraudulent doctrine, I didn’t want to argue with a fool.

    I’d make a guess that the thesis was an early draft of the final document.
    There are no signatures or stamps indicating it was reviewed.
    Seems strange though, spell check would have easily caught those errors.

    I actually had a guy several years ago that would misspell his own name

    it was crazy, they were considered “legal documents” by some, so every day, I would have to write out a corrective action for him

    I actually converted the pdf to docx format, ran spell check in Word, and made it a lot more readable. Overall, the thesis is *opposed* to the KJV-Only position, and presents some good arguments for the opposite case (looking a lot better without the typos).
