Allow me to add a word to what Dr. Van Kleeck, Jr. posted regarding my shared appreciation for the First Reformation Bible Society in Lynchburg, VA. The more public exposure for the superiority of the Reformation era Greek and Hebrew texts and King James Bible, in my humble estimation, the better. Because our subject is the written word of God, our message is accompanied by the Holy Spirit which will perform not only a teaching work in the heart and the mind of the listener but a sanctifying work as well. Refreshment of the mind and spirit is one reason the RBS conference was so enjoyable. And yes, it was an academic conference that is just as necessary as less academically focused, popular apologetic. Everyone that holds to the precious truths regarding the inspiration and preservation of God’s word has a place in the public defense of the faith and specifically of our Bible. Our theological differences are from the interpretation of Holy Scripture not a question of if we have Holy Scripture. More of these kind of meetings are necessary and I thank the organizers of this conference for planning and holding the RBC conference.
It is our hope that this becomes an annual event, something to keep the momentum of the gathering moving forward and that others organize similar events. My hope is that our focus would remain on the preserved, inspired text of Scripture and the King James Bible and that soteriological and eschatological differences might for a day or two take a secondary role to the primary reason we have gathered together, that being the defense and propagation of the pre-critical original language texts and Authorized Version.
Blessings!
