The truth is, every single one of these examples is a valid rendering from the TR. I checked. I do disagree with the 1 Cor. 1:18 rendering, but it is completely allowable from the Greek, since the original is a present passive participle, meaning it can be translated with either imperfective or...

Speaking of Bible translation biographies, a fascinating one by Margaret Stringer, an IFB translator is...

Which means there are still over 3000 languages with not a verse of the Word of God in their languages. Baptists must wake up to this sad and shameful reality.

I checked it out. Praise the Lord for them! While I greatly respect Wycliffe and its translators, and have read several of their translators' biographies, they have several faults. The main one to me is that their translators are not trained in the original Hebrew and Greek. This means their...

Bible translation is my bread and butter--literally! As a missionary to Japan I led the translation of a new Japanese NT, and now the team is working on an OT. Our NT is the first ever in modern colloquial Japanese from the TR. There was a previous NT from the TR in 1928, but it was in classical...

This is an unproven generalization. I know that some of the essayists in the book would approve of non-KJV TR-based translations. In fact, one of them is a missionary translator currently consulting on 10 versions.

I appreciate your thoughts, but sometimes I post here with the hope that lurkers will learn from what I post. I would love to inspire a BB denizen or lurker to care about the Great Commission and missionary Bible translation through something I write here. Actually, I know him in the real...

Actually, this book advocates confessional bibliology, a somewhat different view from the typical KJVO advocate. Many are from non-Baptist traditions. It would be more accurate to consider them TR-Only IMO. Note the "Bookshop" link. There are some important authors whose books are being sold...

First of all, let me classify the works. There are miracles, which are events taking place in a very limited time, events that are impossible on earth without God. I've seen God stop the rain in a moment of time in answer to a prayer just finished. Later the believer I did evangelism with...

But suffering can be good for the believer. It causes us to grow. One of the greatest Christians I have ever known had a debilitating and painful condition, but she was always joyful and always telling folks about her Lord and Savior Jesus. I am going to attach a short biography of her that I...

As many of his persuasion, he begs the question of the Bible in other languages. If the KJV is God's pure Word in the English language, what is God's pure and inerrant Word in Japanese? Ruckman once stated that it was the Motoyaku ("Original translation"), but that version has Alexandrian...

That surrender gives peace to me. I can know that all things are in His hands because I put them there. Several years ago I had emergency surgery to save my life and was in the hospital for many days. All that time I had the peace and joy of God in my heart in spite of the circumstances, and was...

The Holy Spirit doesn't shout and doesn't point Himself out to the believer, though His influence may be very strong in saving. We don't speak of the Holy Spirit pushing or forcing or even urging. He leads, He guides, He fills, but only when the believer wants Him to. Are you right now totally...

I was born in the Baptist Hospital of Miami, OK. What else do I need? :Cool Oh, yeah, then there are the Baptist distinctives, which are fully Biblical. Then there is the lack of any denominational structure in the Scriptures, then the autonomy of all local churches for the first three centuries...

You can have everything I have spiritually simply by living by faith. We are saved by faith, and then must life the Christian life by faith. That was my point. Sorry if it didn't communicate well. As for God speaking to you, we have that in the Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit. God...

Here it is: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). I have walked with Jesus for about 70 years now. He is real (historically, spiritually, existentially, however you want to put...

While I think it is important that Bryan Ross is taking a stand, I think it is a mistake to call what Rovering says "Gnosticism," because there appears to be lacking many Gnostic doctrines: matter is evil and spirit good, Jesus became human (evil) to show us the way out of physical matter, there...

Thanks for this heads up, Logos. I had not heard of this guy, but he's further into outer space than Ruckman and his followers! Notice what is said on this page: Concealed from Christians For The Glory of God by Museum Founder Gary Rovarino (G. John Rov) I would classify this position as...

The rendering of "convict" is correct. The Greek is the future of ἐλέγχω, which Timothy Friberg's (et al) lexicon defines thusly: "1) in the NT, generally as showing someone that he has done something wrong and summoning him to repent bring to light, expose (JN 3.20); convince, convict ( JA...

Thank you.
