Today on the DL: the Comma Revisited
Today on the DL I responded to a series of posts that appeared on the Puritanboard web-board, and then took two calls, one from one of the folks on the Puritanboard itself (though not the fellow who I invited to call in). We even went a little long to get our second caller in. Here’s the program. One of
From the Lips of Jesus or a Scribal Hand? “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” – Luke 23:34a
Luke 23:34a is often known as the so-called, “First Saying of Christ on the Cross.” His intercessory prayer has been an indelible saying in the minds of the biblical literate (and not so literate) for centuries. This saying is perennial sermon fodder for pastors on Good Friday. And those who have viewed the poignant film The Passion of the Christ
Steven Avery and Pinto’s Phantom Manuscripts
The article below that I wrote years ago sheds relevant light upon Steven Avery’s textual receptus claim, and Chris Pinto’s conspiratorial claim and his insistence that the TR tradition goes back to the early church period. http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php/2007/04/19/dean-burgon-and-his-phantom-manuscripts/ See also Ken Willy’s insightful comments on Pinto’s damage control after losing the debate: http://bibleversiondiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/5650/Pinto-Post-Debate-Damage-Control#.UssEMPbm-XF
Russell Moore’s Statement, Steven Anderson on KJVOC Chapter 2

Then we responded to Steven Anderson’s second video wherein he reviews the second chapter of The King James Only Controversy. 75 minutes.

On Painting with Broad Brushes
A lot of you were a bit shocked at the vitriol expressed by Mr. Dries a few days ago. Believe me, in the years since I wrote The King James Only Controversy I’ve seen it all before. “You God-hater! You Bible-hater! You are trying to destroy people’s faith!” etc. and etc. Emotionalism is an ever-present part of dedication to that
An Excellent Example of Why We Need to Think Clearly and Consistently About the Bible
I received the following e-mail a few days ago through our contact link on the aomin.org website: I just want you to know straight forward this is not an attack, but, a legitimate concern. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the occult recently and I must say that the newer versions give lots of breathing room for the
James White Like an Atheist?
I was just reading a post by Michael Dries of Christ Community Church, Folsom, CA, which likened me to an atheist and refers to my “sophistry.” I think I’ll respond to Mr. Dries on the DL this morning, and if perchance he should be made aware of this (I looked for an e-mail address, but could not find one), I
