I assumed nothing... that's why I asked questions. And if you are too proud to take a suggestion of using more humble language, then who is the real blowhard?

Maybe didn't read carefully... I said "just wondering". And it did come off as a bit pompous b/c I know somewhat the level of scholarship it takes to do what they do. So I am even a bit timid in putting myself categorically with them so as not to disparage them. And as far as my opinion...

You don't happen to speak more than one language do you? That would affect your view drastically. BTW... your last statement sounds like you received extra-KJV revelation on the issue. Is that a correct understanding?

Watch this video and skip to 1:25 to hear someone say that the KJV is god w/ a bunch of amen's in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QCBxhSPbkk&list=UUthFPCtTLFuagCMSkQL0I9g&index=31 If that is not enough, the rest of the video will make you vomit.

What exactly is that theory??? What is the Purified Text Theory?? And can you actually provide evidence to substantiate your prepostery??? MSs evidence, really? What evidence supports what you dream it supports? What computational linguistics supports this theory? Who gives a rats fart...

It sounds like you expected better from this guy. That shocks me just as much ;)

A fundamentalist who has it all figured out... If I had a nickel for everyone of you I have met... you spout what is biblical more than a pope speaking ex cathedra!!! Think about it! Clearly you have not read much over there or interacted with Cody and his ilk. They venerate both men and...

So are you saying there is no objective way to study these textual matters for ourselves or even to examine if these scholars are in fact superior? We have nothing to offer but opinion???

First... 28 is not "upcoming". It has been released for a while. And it is only minor changes in some general epistles based on the ECM project. Second... Van, what is this "our" best effort. In what way do you identify with the people at UBS or German Bible Society??? Or are you speaking...

For those interested... I read a recent blog article from Southeastern's faculty blog that gave an interesting response to the OP: http://betweenthetimes.com/index.php/2013/04/10/some-thoughts-on-altar-calls/ You may be surprised... I was.

A forum where you can worship both Ruckman and the KJV... PASS!!! :tonofbricks:

Crazy nuts what they left out!!!!

I'd say, like any classroom experience (online or physically in a room), it all depends on the teacher as far as the rigor is concerned. I've done both and found them to be easy and challenging (both that is). I chalk it up to the teacher. However, the format may enable rigor or discourage...

I smell Steven Avery

In other words I have to answer your questions but you don't have to answer mine. This is why I avoid debating w/ KJVO's. Their inconsistency is wrank! To help you, your purified text theory being preserved by God (even allowing Ps 12 being about preserving Scripture) still requires church...

What was the KJV translators authority for picking the canon they chose (not even factoring in their inclusion of non-canonical material)? In other words, wouldn't the authority to choose the 66 books for them be the same as you? And if that is the case, which it has to be, then aren't you...

I started another thread addressing a very related issue (http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=1900167&postcount=1). I'll quote: I've made this point many times, but I haven't received much of a response. I am only calling out Winman because he makes this a prooftext often and most...

First, do you read/know Koine Greek? Second, if you do, can you tell me the grammatical difference between the two words? Third, do you understand semantics, morphology, and words with the same roots/cognates/lemmas??? Fourth, just b/c you see a difference between the word, does that mean you...

So "The Strongs" concordance is the standard and authority?????????? And I'm not the scholar???????????????????????? Clearly you have a fear of the obvious and undeniable truth. Instead of dealing with my argument, you resort to invective. And you dare call my posts "nonsense"...

Gospel that leaves out repentance and Lordship. Jesus' gospel was repentance for the reign of God to be established (i.e. lordship in practice) and discipleship (yes he equated discipleship with the gospel). But more people care about numbers, simple conversions, and making the gospel easy...
