It was excellent! There were between 50 and 60 people in attendance. The plenary speakers did a splendid job laying the groundwork for the value and scope of the Septuagint so much so that I found myself better appreciating the LXX as an ancient resource. In like manner, I also came to better appreciate itsContinue reading “Reformation Bible Society – A Review”

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to debate the above question. Thanks again to Nick and Francis. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. There certainly is an opportunity to improve but I was pleased with the number of ideas articulated. I was particularly happy with the fact that my interlocutor tried to meet my argumentsContinue reading “Van Kleeck Jr. vs. TurretinFan – Has God Preserved the Greek New Testament in a Single Printed Edition?”

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be gloryContinue reading “The Eschatological Emphasis of the Benediction of Hebrews 13:20-21”

We should first remember that Dr. Ward is not a scholar in the traditional sense of doing high level research probing for yet undeveloped or underdeveloped truth. His “false friends” idea was neither original nor did it contribute to the literature on the King James Bible. It was rather the tract of a propogandist lookingContinue reading “Why Dr. Ward is Under No Compulsion to Reply and Reverse Himself on Psalm 12:6-7”

The above picture is my Westminster Theological Seminary diploma for a Master of Arts in Religion. It is easily my favorite diploma. My Calvin Theological Seminary looks like a standard high school/college diploma and while my PhD diploma is just as large as my Westminster one, it is not in Latin. Though I have comeContinue reading “The Fallacy of Edification REQUIRES Intelligibility”

On February 18, 2022, I posted an article entitled “Dr. Mark Ward, Psalm 12:6-7, and the Historic Exegetical Argument for the Providential Preservation of God’s word.” Now surpassing the two-year anniversary of this response to Dr. Ward’s opposition to Psalm 12:6-7 teaching the providential preservation of Scripture, I thought I would follow up on Dr.Continue reading “Dr. Ward’s Time is Running Out”

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”
