To rob the Church of the truth gleaned through the exegesis of Scripture, passages are wrested to diminish the substantive or intrinsic significance of the written word. For instance, counsel, covenant, truth, judgments, testimonies, and law are considered subjects taught uncoupled from the ontological character of God’s written word. These subjects may be pure andContinue reading “No Middle Ground Between Theologically and Anthropologically Sourced Bibliology”

That the immutable written word’s delivery by immediate inspiration into a sin cursed world put the Scripture into a comprehensive, adversarial context cannot be underestimated. Everything and everywhere the pure word of God touched and was carried suffered under the devastation of the curse. And indeed, if left up to historic, sin-cursed methods, the immediatelyContinue reading “Sunday Musings On Why We Do What We Do”

This post does not directly relate to an apologetic for a standard sacred text. What is does, however, is demonstrate the depth of study engaged in by our Reformation era forefathers before coming to an exegetical decision. Willet stands as perhaps the principal example of this era to the opposite of the claim of “nonscientific.”Continue reading “Andrew Willet (1562-1621) on the Ten Churchly Exegetical Renderings of Romans 7”

On June 9, 1973, was the 105th running of the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in Belmont, New York in front of a crowd of 69,138 spectators. Facing a field of five horses, Secretariat won by 31 lengths, the largest margin of victory in Belmont history, and never since approached, winning the Triple Crown ofContinue reading “Secretariat and 1 John 5:7”

Recently I have accepted an invitation to debate Francis Turretin (aka TurretinFan) on Nick Sayer’s YouTube channel. The topic under examination is as follows: “Has God’s Word Been Perfectly Preserved by the Greek and Hebrew Manuscripts or by the King James translation?” The question, as proposed by TurretinFan, needs some work. It is a bitContinue reading “DEBATE: Dr. Van Kleeck Jr. vs. Francis Turretin (aka TurretinFan)”

With the Reformation Bible Society’s inaugural meeting fast approaching we wanted to share our paper titles with our readership. Both Dr.s’ Van Kleeck will present papers in their respective fields on the topic of the Septuagint. The title of our papers are as follows: Dr. Van Kleeck Sr. – Andrew Willet (1562-1621) and the ManagementContinue reading “Reformation Bible Society Paper Presentation Topics”

In the video to follow, Pastor Christian Khanda (OPC) offers a clear and concise argument in favor of the TR. Leaning on Scripture (as all Christians should when it comes to their theological belief) Pastor Khanda shares both exegetical and theological reasons for holding to the TR. Even more, with the help of the interviewerContinue reading “Pastor Christian Khanda Gives a Distinctively Christian Argument for the TR”

To answer this question Richard Muller [PRRD, Holy Scripture, pp. 413-414] observes, The case for Scripture as an infallible rule of faith and practice and the separate argument for a received text free from major (i.e., non-scribal) errors rests on an examination of the apographa [i.e., copies of copies] and does not seek the infiniteContinue reading “Was B.B. Warfield’s View of the Autograph the Same as the Protestant Orthodox?”

A recurring maneuver of evangelical apologists for the critical text is to insinuate that those who support a standard sacred text resist or reject reformation era text critical work. This of course is a feckless fallacy of the interlocular. The conspicuous difference between pre-critical and post-critical text critical work is that pre-critical text criticism workedContinue reading “Andrew Willet (1562-1621), Matthew Poole (1624-1679), and Matthew Henry (1662-1714) and the critical examination of the authorship of 2 Samuel”
