    Qere and Kethib in the Hebrew Bible: Safeguarding Scripture and Its Pronunciation

    Baptist pastor Glenn Conjurske (1947-2001), who was a defender of the KJV and a critic of modern versions, wrote: “Some of them [KJV-only people] have chosen a particular edition of the Masoretic text, and exalted it to the place of perfection, but they are unaware that every manuscript and...

    Our Scriptural Confidence

    David Crystal, who is a recognized authority on language and on the English language, wrote: "It is understandable that many people dislike change, but most of the criticism of linguistic change is misconceived. It is widely felt that the contemporary language illustrates the problem at its...

    Translation Terminology

    David Crystal wrote: “The term ‘translation’ is the neutral term used for all tasks where the meaning of expressions in one language (the ‘source’ language) is turned into the meaning of another (the ‘target’ language)” (Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, p. 344). David Crystal wrote: "The...

    Our Scriptural Confidence

    My comments clearly indicate the difference in meaning without any shift. All means ALL concerning applying the same exact standard/measures. In my other distinct and clear statements, I did not say all, and I make it clear to which group of English translations I am referring. Therefore...

    Translation Terminology

    The very word translation by definition (when used to refer to something that is translated from one language into another language) would require its need of a source or sources from which to be translated and on which it is therefore dependent. By reason of its proper, exact definition...

    Our Scriptural Confidence

    The all post-NT Bible translations would in context and in meaning refer to ALL post-NT Bible translations in all languages. The Scriptures clearly condemns the use of divers measures [double standards] and advocates the making of righteous judgments. The same exact measures/standards should...

    "Sacred Writings: Preserved or Reconstructed? The Nature of the Greek New Testament" by Adam Boyd.

    I have quoted scripture verses many times that explain my scripturally-based position. You seem to be trying to attack me personally in suggesting incorrectly that I have not quoted scripture.

    Our Scriptural Confidence

    You do not think correctly. I know exactly what I think about the Scriptures given by inspiration of God to the prophets and apostles and what I think about post-NT Bible translations. I believe all that the Scriptures state and teach about themselves. I accept and believe the KJV as what it...

    Preserved Text Only

    Here is more evidence concerning the Syriac Peshitta and also concerning KJV-only claims about the full title "Lord Jesus Christ." Does claiming that the full name "Lord Jesus Christ" glorifies Jesus more suggest that the Holy Spirit was wrong when He "moved" or "inspired" men to write...

    Preserved Text Only

    Plenty of substance has been provided that directly relate to or refute some of your unproven claims and your use of a typical KJV-only argument [the two lines of Bibles argument]. You may take it personally and become hostile towards me, but that does not at all suggest that my relies to you...

    Preserved Text Only

    Terry Falla wrote: "Though given in printed editions, these passages [Luke 22:17-18, John 7:53-8:11] are wanting [lacking] in all MSS. of the Peshitta, and so far as now known, were not originally included in that version" (A Key to the Peshitta Gospels, pp. xix-xx). In the second appendix of a...

    Preserved Text Only

    That may be your argument, but you do not prove your argument to be correct. You try to dismiss and ignore the facts and the substance that conflict with it. Clear documented evidence was presented that contradict your preserved line claims concerning the Syriac Peshitta and the Waldensian...

    Preserved Text Only

    Adrian Bacon asserted: “When you read the Peshitta, it sounds much like the King James Version because they were both translated from the same family of text” (And the Darkness, p. 161). William Bradley also claimed: "If you translate from the Peshitta into English, what you'll have in your...

    Preserved Text Only

    [Bold type added on Syriac Peshitta in the quote above by this poster] Numerous KJV-only authors try to connect the textually different Peshitta Syriac Bible with a claimed preserved or pure line of Bibles that also includes the KJV. Your argument does not seem to differ significantly from the...

    Preserved Text Only

    Jan Krans noted that “in John he [Erasmus] used min. 2 and in Acts min. 2815, which were corrected and marked-up as printer’s copy. Both manuscripts contain many errors, which affect not only spelling (itacisms etc.) but also missing words and phrases through homoeoteleuton etc.” (Beyond What is...

    Preserved Text Only

    The Waldensian Bible translations used and transmitted in the Waldensian churches included several added readings that could be considered textual corruptions or reconstructions in the Western family of texts. Those additions do not demonstrate continuity with a preserved pure text or with the...

    The Disappearance of the Dean Burgon Society

    This writer does not know who may have first invented the term KJV-only, but he first saw this term in the writings of some KJV defenders themselves back as early as the 1970’s or 1980’s. If others supposedly invented it, KJV-only advocates soon adopted and used it themselves. In 1974, did Dick...
