Good for Mark Ward. There is much to admire about the TBS, and I would support it financially if only it was not so tightly tied to the KJV.

Thank you! I thought we would never get there. No, it is restoration to the party injured. If the community is injured, albeit accidentally (v.6), then the restitution is to the community. That is just. Good to remember at this time of year that 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save...

Stop being so silly! You know better than that. When God's justice is vindicated, then God sends His Spirit to give people news hearts and spirits. It is after our Lord's ascension that the Spirit is poured out (John 16:7; Acts 2:33). Of course the cross is the reconciliation between God and...

I only just saw this. It is truly awful. Did you really think I wouldn't bother to look at the text you referenced? I want to ask anybody reading this thread to read Exodus 22. Verse 1. 'If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox...

Yes, British KJV-only is a different creature from the American version. However, the fact is that both the Bible League and the T.B.S. denigrate the NKJV, despite it being Textus Receptus. This is what annoys me. I tend to be a Majority Text supporter rather than T.R., but the NKJV suits me...

I'm not making any claim at all, other than that the 1689 Confession does not deny free will. That is all.

The two main groups in the UK that are KJV-only are the Bible Society and the Trinitarian Bible Society. I know some of the people involved in both orgnizations, and they don't seem to be quite as extreme as their American counterparts - more Joel Beeke than Gail Riplinger! In fact, some of...

It is Written. John Hooper (ed.). Bible League Trust, 2025, 655 pages. https://www.textandtranslation.org/it-is-written-by-bible-league-trust/ One for all you KJV fans out there; this time, from Britain. No, I haven't read it and no, I shall not be buying it. But if someone wants to buy me...

I called you a one trick pony because you don't seem to have anything to say that does not come down to "Cal vs. Arm." I am an unapologetic Calvinist, but I have said everything I want to say on that matter on various threads, and it would be nice to discuss something else. It is certainly my...

I think I understand very well. You have repeated yourself often enough. According to my view, which is aligned with Scripture, God is a just Judge ( 2 Tim. 4:8; Psalm 7:11 again!). He is also the Judge of all the world who will do what is right (Genesis 18:25; c.f. also James 4:12), will...

I have never said that the resurrection is of no import and you will not find anywhere that I have said so. This is too boring. Every single thing comes back to your Pelagian views. Penal Substitution is not tied directly to Calvinism. The Wesleyan Methodists believed in P.S. If you want to...

It isn't what you said. You said that your penal substitution theory does not present Christ as accomplishing reconciliation at the cross. Well your theory may not do so, but the Bible, and the Doctrine of Penal Substitution both do. [ So according to your theory, God was not troubled about...

Oh dear! You really are a one trick pony, aren't you? The cross does not work without the resurrection, but the opposite applies. The resurrecction does not work without the cross. Christ did not die to make anyone 'saveable.' We (and that includes you and me, whether you like it or not)...

Your point is wrong. We were reconciled to God by the death of Christ (Romans 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18). I don't know of any theologian who denies that. Exactly.

So what do you think Christ dying for the ungodly accomplished? Do you think it didn't save? Do you think being reconciled to God by the blood of Christ (Col. 19-22) doesn't mean we are saved? Do you think being justified (declared righteous) is not enough to save us. OK. We have been...

Absolutely right! Thank you for posting that. '.... That both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.' Wonderful! and so succinct! 'Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed' (Psalm 85:10). People here should...

Do you believe that Paul was somehow mixed-up when he wrote 1 Cor. 2:2? And the writer of Hebrews mistaken when he wrote Heb. 9? I have no time at present to write a treatise on Rom. 5:10, but you will find that, properly understood, it will not contradict the other texts. One more point: I...

You make it sound as if Luther and Calvin were mass murderers. Someone has written, The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. It was generally believed for hundreds of years that allowing freedom of religion would spark violence and revolution, a belief that was only...

True, but if you wanted to use it to find out about the theological views of Anabaptists, as I once did, you would be disappointed. It has very little to say about theology - nothing that I could find about the nature of God, Christ or salvation - and deals mostly with matters of church order...
