A Disputation Concerning the Authority and Meaning of John, Chapter 8, Verses 1–12[1]

Introduction All I shall add is, transiently, to observe that since some deny this whole portion of Scripture any way to belong to St. John, thinking that it has been but lately intruded into his gospel, Selden already mentioned has recited their reasons, and Francios Gomarus has industriously vindicated it, as belonging to St. John,Continue reading “A Disputation Concerning the Authority and Meaning of John, Chapter 8, Verses 1–12[1]”

And Still…The Most Searched for English Translation in the World

Years ago I made a post showing which version of the Bible was the most searched for in the the USA and in the world. The terms I used were acronyms like KJV, ESV, CSB etc. Well, as I said it has been a couple of years so I thought it good to revisit thisContinue reading “And Still…The Most Searched for English Translation in the World”

Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: defense of the pericope de adultera

Whiston’s Objection 7, Page 99. In John 8:5, the Jews say that Mosses commanded the stone the adulteress, which assertion our Savior’s answer in John 8:7 confirms. This punishment, although in this age it is not extant in the Hebrew, nor Samaritan Pentateuch, nor in the Septuagint, nor Josephus, yet that in ancient times itContinue reading “Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: defense of the pericope de adultera”

Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: What Genuine Biblical Scholarship Looks Like

“For since one and the same Spirit dictated to, inspired, and influenced holy men in compiling the Scripture, and since he is not a God of confusion, and inconstancy, or contrary to himself (1 Corinthians 14:33), but the Spirit of truth, leading us into all truth; hence it follows that none of the Scripture oraclesContinue reading “Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: What Genuine Biblical Scholarship Looks Like”

Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: Corruption of the so-called Septuagint translation and the Preeminence of the Hebrew Scripture

Corruption of the so-called Septuagint Let us admit that the Greek, which is called the Septuagint, differs very widely from the Hebrew copy, yet it differs too much from itself, that as many editions of it as are to be seen this day, so many various readings may be observed; and no man is soContinue reading “Johann Gottlob Carpzov, A Defense of the Hebrew Bible, 1729: Corruption of the so-called Septuagint translation and the Preeminence of the Hebrew Scripture”

The Septuagint (LXX): A Scurrilous Imposter Set Against the Hebrew Old Testament

The Greek translation of the Old Testament, now commonly and rather carelessly labeled the Septuagint, is one of the most misrepresented and mythologized documents in biblical studies. The very name “Septuagint” is a historical confusion masquerading as a canonized fact. According to the lore of the Letter of Aristeas, seventy-two translators produced a Greek PentateuchContinue reading “The Septuagint (LXX): A Scurrilous Imposter Set Against the Hebrew Old Testament”
