Good; then what happened to your answer?

Actually Burgon didn't "say" it. The Executive Committee of the Dean Burgon Society wrote it in 1982! Your addition of Burgon's name, lifespan and the attribution of "He said ..." appear deceptive. So, the above quotation does not successfully address the 'challenge'. In addition, just...

Please cite any genuine orthodox articulation of a Christian doctrine of the 'Preservation of the Scriptures' from, say, before 1900. An ambiguous quote about God "preserving" His words will not suffice. I want you to (briefly) prove the historic theological position of the Church on the...

But isn't "father's house" in 1 Samuel 18:2 an idiom? And isn't "all women" in Nahum 3:13 a metaphor? Must they be translated 'literally'?

I've read them both. There are no crucial reasons to choose the KJV over the Geneva Bible. They are very similar; the KJV is more eloquent and may benefit from slightly later and better scholarship. However, the Geneva may be a little bit easier for the modern reader to understand. In their...

Is it possible that a manuscript which was previously thought to be 16th C. has (upon further examination or evidence) been 'redated'?

Thanks, Deacon. I always appreciate your stuff.

Mmmm, pizza! Oh, pardon my lack of focus; I was gonna' say that they're not just (April) foolin' about really silly editions either. Its ridiculous. I can't even understand the way people chase after the latest 'study' Bible.

Of course its different. What would be the point of duplicatating a version that already exisited?

If I understand your question correctly, there are other Bible versions based upon the Textus Receptus Greek text. Historically preceding the KJV there were several: Tyndale's NT, Coverdale's, Matthew's, the Great Bible, Taverner's, the Bishop's Bible, and Geneva. Others are merely minor...

I can confirm the above facts (I own hardcopies of both).

No, not all. Repetition is a wonderful literary devise and is effective in increasing the human ability to retain something learned. Is there not an amazing amount of redundancy in Scripture?

Psalms 111:10 & Proverbs 9:10 share an identical phrase (KJV) -- Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: ... Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: ... The exact phase "the fear of the LORD" occurs about 27 times in the Bible (14 of them in...

Virtually identical phrase of they/them/those that go down into the pit (KJV) -- Num 16:30 ... and they go down quick into the pit; ... Psa 28:1 ... I become like them that go down into the pit. Psa 88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: ... Psa 143:7 ... lest I be like...

I wouldn't lump Ehrman and Metzger together; Ehrman is intentionally destructive towards orthodox evangelical Christianity.

I think "hanged" is probably accurate but NOT in the way we might tend to envision. Indeed, there may have been piercing of the victim's body, but again, probably not in the manner of our Western conception. I agree that "gallows" envokes entirely too elaborate an idea of construction. A...

Very similar verses to those posted above are Deuteronomy 16:12 & 24:22 (KJV) -- And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do...

Which Greek text will impress a knowledgable Muslim into believing that the NT (based upon that text) is reliable???

Nearly identical verses of Deuteronomy 15:15 & 24:18 (KJV) -- And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy...

Identical phrases at the opening of Pauline epistles (KJV) -- 2Cr 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, ... Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, ... Col 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and...
