    John R. Rice and the KJV

    You could call me KJV preferred if you wish, but I think all the fuss on English translation issues is missing the point. I tell my students, "Don't argue about the Bible and try to defend it. It's not a museum piece, but a sword. Go out and stab someone with it!" My focus is much more on...

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    Actually, in his book Our God-Breathed Book the Bible, Rice had two whole chapters on why he did not believe in mechanical dictation. The charge that he did teach MD was brought by faculty members of Bob Jones U. who refused to endorse the book. Their charge stemmed from his willingness to use...

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    Actually, I simply commented on some poor evangelism that Hyles followers had done. I didn't mention LS until JesusFan did. He brought up LS in Post 37, not me. I consider it legitimate to talk about an aberrant method of soul winning on this thread, but not to make the thread about the doctrine...

    Do You Know the Baptist Distinctives?

    No, it's a plea for Christian ethics. Right now there is a pamphlet on the Internet that I wrote, and it is being used without my name on it. That is stealing. I should be clearly referenced as the author. That way, any errors I made in the document, or any good the document does, both rebuke...

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    This is straight Lordship Salvation, right out of The Gospel According to Jesus. However, this thread is not about soteriology, so please refrain from going down this road.

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    He used the ASV for study, but did not preach from it. As revealed by his magnum opus, Our God-Breathed Book the Bible, as clear as he was on inspiration, he did not have a high level understanding of textual criticism.

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    :( John MacArthur's Lordship Salvation, anyone? :( John's big error: The command to "take up your cross" was made to disciples, not lost people (Matt. 6:24). And I don't teach anyone to just say "Save me Jesus" (nor did Hyles, to be fair to him). There must be a full understanding of the...

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    The method of soul winning in the pamphlet by Hyles Let's Go Soul Winning is not that bad, IMO. It uses Scripture extensively, and doesn't appear to inform the prospect that he is saved just by saying a prayer. The problem was that if put soul winning above the glory of God, you rush through the...

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    He would have strongly opposed the Sword becoming KJVO. His successor was Curtis Hutson, who later became so KJVO that he promoted Gail Riplinger's ridiculous book, New Age Bible Versions (published long after Rice's death). In my biography of Rice, I discuss his strong opposition to Peter...

    Good post. I have Jackson's second book from 1968, which is very good:

    Self defense and security teams?

    It depends on the intruder. If he is simply there to cause trouble, the police will be called and he will be escorted out. If he comes in with a gun or knife and starts attacking people, we will take him down. I don't carry, but I would take a bullet for my pastor or a fellow church attender...

    "From the Internet" is not sufficient sourcing. Come on, Van, we've been through this before.

    What I do remember was that as people became aware of the KJV issues, discussions started up. Then one day from the chapel pulpit, Dr. Roberson mandated that there be no more discussions about Bible versions on campus! Brother McCormick does sound like someone I'd like to know.

    The KJV was the standard when I was at Temple. That's all anyone used, but some prof may have consulted other versions. I don't remember any of that. Almost nobody was talking about Bible versions in those days.

    Excellent post! I did not know this.

    Good post. Thank you!

    Self defense and security teams?

    Can you share why you think a security team is wrong? As for armed security, almost none of us are armed (except for my fists :Biggrin). Let me explain more about what our security team does. 1. It prevents crime. Surely this is a good thing! Our head is a retired cop, so he can make arrests...

    That's a confusing statement! :Cautious
