These are the final words of Which Bible? edited by David Otis Fuller. They are a stirring and potent reminder of our longing and dependence upon the word of our Lord Jesus. I hope they can be a blessing to you as they were to me. We shall need the Lord Jesus in the hourContinue reading “We Shall Need the Lord Jesus…”

Below is a Q&A interaction that Dr. William Lane Craig had with a questioner. You can find the original source here which first appeared on March 26, 2016. I share this question and answer to again show that there is yet another way to separate the so called “burning in the bosom” of Mormonism fromContinue reading “Properly Basic Christian Belief and Mormon Burning in the Bosom”

Here we have interesting video where Dr. Gene Kim offers a brief argument answering the argument that anyone can say any Bible is the inspired preserved word of God. I have a few comments but first let’s watch the video. 1.) All evidence has holes in it or potential defeaters which are employed by oppositeContinue reading “Dr. Gene Kim and the KJV.”

“I defy modern textual criticism and all its laws.” HAPPY REFORMATION DAY

Perhaps it would be helpful for my Reformed brothers to conceive of Confessional Bibliology [CB] in terms of Soteriological Calvinism [SC]. When seen through this lens the parody between the two is quite striking. To my non-Reformed brothers this argument will of course not carry as much weight. So let us begin… 1.)

Yesterday on Jeff Riddle’s Word Magazine podcast he took the time to delve into Richard Muller’s Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms and specifically the terms Textus Receptus and Authoritas Divina Duplex. These terms make exceedingly important distinctions in historic Reformed Bibliology and are foundational to the relationship of a translation to the originalContinue reading “Richard Muller, The Textus Receptus, and Authoritas Divina Duplex”

Let’s start first with a very mundane example. Suppose there is a college professor teaching a class on English Literature. This class has lectures, assignments, tests, and quizzes. This is the content of the class, but there is also a kind of meta-education, an education happening beyond the content of the class. That meta-education includesContinue reading “Meta-Didactics and the Word of God”
