A couple of years ago I picked up Shakespeare’s Words: A Glossary & Language Companion by David and Ben Crystal at a huge used book store in Jacksonville, FL. I am fan of Henry V and Shakespeare’s love sonnets. Those last one’s were especially helpful while dating my wife. In any case, when I sawContinue reading “If Only Ward had as Much Conviction as Shakespeare Students”

An Analysis of the Textual Confidence Collective’s Collective Doubt
I have found it interesting over these last couple weeks that the Textual Confidence Collective aims to strengthen their listeners in Biblical confidence. Yet, without exception each episode thus far has keyed off the doubt we all must properly have: 1.) Doubt that the TR is the word of God down to the very wordsContinue reading “An Analysis of the Textual Confidence Collective’s Collective Doubt”
The Necessity and Theology of the “Inclusive Man”
Ok, so Mark Ward takes a lot of heat here at StandardSacredText.com, largely because he deserves it and partly because he is somehow a Ph.D. that is also an easy target. One thing that I have challenged Ward to do is to take a look at the modern versions of the Bible and make anContinue reading “The Necessity and Theology of the “Inclusive Man””
How Can You Believe in the TR/KJV Exclusively w/o Besmirching the Belief of Christians in the Past?
Chas recently wrote in asking the following question: My question for the day – I had asked you regarding the faith of Erasmus – I used him because as I understand it he would not have had a perfectly collated TR in his hand thus it was still in need of maturing. Thus if asContinue reading “How Can You Believe in the TR/KJV Exclusively w/o Besmirching the Belief of Christians in the Past?”
My Prediction was Right and the Dumpster Fire Continues to Keep the TCC Warm and Cozy
Well, I have finally finished watching the third episode of the Textual Confidence Collective [TCC]. First, as I predicted they wholly ignored or were completely unaware of the Spirit/word/faith paradigm prevalent throughout Reformed Bibliology, and they chose a handful of verses and then told us what they think those verses don’t mean. So A+ there.Continue reading “My Prediction was Right and the Dumpster Fire Continues to Keep the TCC Warm and Cozy”
Why the Textual Confidence Collective is Going to Get Confessional Bibliology Wrong (Again)
I have not yet listened to the third installment of the Textual Confidence Collective [TCC]. I will later today and post about it tomorrow. That said, I am going to make a prediction and I am going to make that prediction based on words Daniel Wallace said three days ago on the Reason and TheologyContinue reading “Why the Textual Confidence Collective is Going to Get Confessional Bibliology Wrong (Again)”

From My Seminary Notes
Both Dr.’s Van Kleeck had the privilege of studying under Dr. Richard Gaffin Jr. at Westminster Theological Seminary [East]. We still have our notes from that/those classes. Gaffin taught Introduction to Systematic Theology which included his lectures on Bibliology. His lectures formed the way we talk about the Bible now at StandardSacredText.com Gaffin has sinceContinue reading “From My Seminary Notes”
That King James Is Not The Best
So as you peruse the internet have any of you found it interesting that there is another huge debate going on about the King James? When I type in “King James debate” into Google I get story after story and image after image of who is the best basketball player: His Airness, Michael Jordan orContinue reading “That King James Is Not The Best”
The KJV Didn’t Makes the Pope’s List…Shocker
The image below has been circulating around lately in certain familiar circles so I thought I would I would share it here for anyone who had not seen it. It is an image of the current English versions of the Bible approved by the Apostolic See i.e., the Pope. Canon law regarding the authority ofContinue reading “The KJV Didn’t Makes the Pope’s List…Shocker”
