My words do not say what your strawman misrepresentation says since my statement does not say that preservation depends on the accuracy of every individual scribe. My statement states the truth.

My statement states the truth. My statement does not say that preservation depends on the accuracy of every individual scribe as you misunderstand or misrepresent it.

The KJV translators did not follow the Qere at Isaiah 9:3. Christian Ginsburg maintained that “as the text [Isa. 9:3] now stands one hemistich contradicts the other” (Introduction, p. 161). John Eadie asserted: “The Masora gives fifteen instances where lo should be written so as to signify ‘to...

That is not my argument as you incorrectly allege and repeat. Your repeating your strawman misrepresentation does not make it become true. Your bogus accusations seem to be a diversion.

That is not my argument. Your biased opinion is wrong, and it bears false witness as you try to put words in my mouth that I did not say.

That is not my argument as you falsely allege. I clearly told you that I do not claim that preservation depends on the accuracy of every scribe so you seem to be bearing false witness as you attempt to put words in my mouth that I did not say. You claim that I said certain things defined...

Glenn Conjurske, who is a defender of the KJV and a critic of modern English versions and who admits his own bias for the KJV, acknowledged: “I grant that there is too much paraphrasing in the King James Version, more especially in the Old Testament. But even this may be excused, at least in...

Your response is the words of a man. I have not questioned what God has done. You keep trying to create strawman distortions of my scripturally-based position. According to what specific measures or objective standards, do you suggest that you are the one who determines or identifies where...

Your opinion is incorrect. Your strawman misrepresentation is not my argument. I do not claim that preservation depends on the accuracy of every scribe, but I do acknowledge the responsibilities that God Himself gave to men. According to scriptural truths, omitted words, added words, or...

You do not prove your opinion or assertion to be true. God does not say that what you claim or assert is what was preserved is identical to the same exact words He gave by inspiration to the prophets and apostles. In addition, you are skipping over the long period of time from the original...

Should the KJV translators have sometimes depended on or trusted the judgment of unbelieving Jewish Sages who advocated the Oral Law or Talmud, who had not accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Saviour, who seemed to have believed in spontaneous generation and in the existence of some...

You have not described me accurately. I do not treat extra-biblical references as if they were the way, the truth, and the life as you incorrectly suggested. Your false assertion that I do is what I correctly denied. Your strawman misrepresentation is wrong. I presented the clear evidence...

You merely try to dismiss and avoid strong documented evidence and verifiable facts. The observation of the sources cited may carry more weight than your opinions and your diversions away from the facts. You are presenting your opinions about the Hebrew Masoretic text instead of providing any...

Yosef Ofer asserted: “This edition of Miqraot Gedolot [Great Scriptures] [known also as the Second Rabbinic Bible] contains many typographical errors, unacceptable versions and failures to conform to the Masora. But from then on anyone concerned with the Masora had a uniform edition” (Masora, p...

Your concern is misplaced. You jump to a wrong conclusion or make a false accusation. I do not treat extra-biblical references as if they were the way, the truth, and the life. You seem to try to dismiss the evidence that has been presented because it demonstrates that you make some non-true...

Is there any other evidence that the Hebrew Old Testament text read and approved by Jesus may not be every letter and every word the same as the post-800 A. D. Masoretic text or as the printed 1524 Masoretic text? Arthur Farstad indicated that the Masoretic Text and the Targum in Psalm 22:16...

Jacob ben Chayyim as translated by Christian Ginsburg wrote: “Shew me how it is possible to read the Pentateuch, when [according to the Talmud] we must not read a single letter which is not written in the text. How then can it enter into one’s mind that we should read the Keri [Qere], which...

KJV defenders David Reid and Bryan Ross wrote: “”It could not be clearer that what the Lord was doing in Luke 4:18-19 was reading from the manuscript that He held in His hands. And yet what the Lord read does not have verbatim identicality with the passage in Isaiah [Isaiah 61:1-2]. It is not...

I am not ignoring the doctrine of preservation entirely as you falsely allege. I am not defending a reconstructionist model as you incorrectly allege unless you are admitting or suggesting that the process of the making of the Hebrew Masoretic text involved reconstruction and restoration. My...

Yosef Ofer noted: “In some cases such [Ketiv/Qere] notes were not written, relying on oral transmission of the tradition. For example the Tetragrammaton is vocalized with a shwa and qamas, (the vowels that belong to the letters aleph and nun in ‘Adonai’) without an accompanying note, and only by...
