    Preservation

    Pretty big leap there from God promising to preserve His "word" to God's preserving of "scriptures". Do you see it? Isn't God's "word" much more than just the written portion? How has His "word" (no exceptions listed) equivalent to merely scriptures? Show me where God promised to only preserve...

    Since David Cloud's name is being brought in, what are his qualifications/education?

    Mr. Cloud is undoubtedly knowledgeable. However, he does his position a disservice by not getting creditialed. It would be analogous to a person that attends a church for many years but never became a member (they should not expect to have the same rights) or some one being 'committed' to...

    Dean Burgon Quote

    Hello RB! I agree this is an impotant pursuit. Please, try to visualize this for a moment: Those thousands of of historic documents that we call 'Greek manuscripts" were actually used by individual Christians as their own handwritten 'Bibles' (and they ALL had many differences). What would those...

    Why no commitment?

    God did not promise to preserve all of His words in written form. You frequently confuse "the word of God" with 'the Bible'. The Vulgate was not a CT-based text. The Reformation produced the TR, as much as the other way around. The Reformation was brought about by historical events such as...

    Why no commitment?

    For you then, there need not be any connection whatsoever between the RT and the KJV. So, why not just leave the TR (v. CT) out of the discussion since in the end it doesn't determine the 'perfection' of the KJV?

    Why no commitment?

    If you state that the RT is perfect -- but admit the KJV doesn't fully follow the RT -- then the KJV can't be perfect.

    Why no commitment?

    I can hardly believe you are serious when you ask these questions. Obviously, you haven't given it much thought. But if you are sincere here is the answer: People who are persuaded that the CT is closer to the original inspired text are also the kind of people that recognize that the same...

    Why no commitment?

    Just for clarification, I'm thinking you actually mean the Textus Receptus (TR) when you write "RT" (an abbreviation for Received Text), although these terms are often used and misused in various ways. You believe by faith that the RT is perfect. Fine by me. But if the "RT" is the Textus...

    When did statements on Bible versions first begin to appear in 'Statements of Faith'?

    I recognize your desire to identify the preserved written word of God. Briefly, what convinces you that a RT is a divine work?

    When did statements on Bible versions first begin to appear in 'Statements of Faith'?

    Thank you, friend. I hope you will be rewarded for your kind words.

    Why do so many reformed believers use the ESV?

    John uses the same word translated in 1:18 as "in" by the KJV five other times in the same chapter. In 1:7 it is "for a witness"; in 1:9 it is "into the world"; in 1:11 it is "unto his own"; in 1:12 it is "on his name"; and lastly in 1:43 it is "into Galilee". As even this small sampling...

    When did statements on Bible versions first begin to appear in 'Statements of Faith'?

    Both the CT and RT are man-made; neither is inspired. Agreed? What are the chances that either of them is perfect down to the last exact word? It is likely that neither one is actually perfect. Agreed? If the above is true (and it probably is) then it seems you do not have the written...

    Rhema vs Logos

    Where the "word of God" appears in the KJV it is logos in the majority, but it is also from rhema several times; therefore they seem to be synonomous in this usage.

    Perfect Translation

    VERY SERIOUS QUESTION: Does your definition of "perfect' allow for another translation from those sources to also be "perfect" (even if it differs in the English from the KJV text)?

    Is The Gay Bible Also God's Word?

    This has been out awhile. When it first came to my attention I compared my copy of The Source New Testament to it. The 'gay' edition seemed to be The Source text remarketed; the notes primarily having the 'gay' bias. The much earlier published TSNT was not intended to promote a 'gay' agenda to...

    The contradiction with the Christology

    First, tell us which of the several meanings of "record" you believe is being used by Jesus in this passage. Personally, I think the KJV translators intended the archaic Definition 4. "To recite; to repeat".

    The contradiction with the Christology

    RECORD', v.t. [L. recorder, to call to mind, to remember, from re and cor, cordis, the heart or mind.] 1. To register; to enroll; to write or enter in a book or on parchment, for the purpose of preserving authentic or correct evidence of a thing; as, to record the proceedings of a court; to...

    What is Grace?

    First, there is no reason to think that she spoke to Jesus in Greek. All the New Testment books were written in Greek, but that does not mean that every direct quotation was initially verbalized in Greek. Most of the Gospel dialog was likely originally uttered in Aramaic. Second, the Hebrew...

    What is Grace?

    The Samaritans only hold the Pentateuch as canonical scripture. She would not be reading Daniel. Jesus would have specifically spoken to her on the basis of the Five Books of Moses.

    What's Love got to do with it?

    I believe that God has His reasons for putting these relationships together as well. Read Genesis 38 (Judah & Tamar), 2 Samuel 11 (David & Bathsheba), etc.
