Imagine if you will the implications of a text of Scripture that is not what it claims to be, that is a prevaricating text confronted with the glory of heaven and not at all possessing the transcendent qualities it claims for itself. Not pure, certainly not immutable, and conspicuously not eternal, and not evenContinue reading “Competing Bibles and the Fire that Renovates Sin-cursed Creation”

Theology and Ward’s False Friends
In this video, I discuss the possibility that theological words could be construed as “false friends” under Ward’s definition. As such, it seems all of our Bibles have words in them we think we understand but, in the end, we do not because language changes, and along with it so do the meanings of words,Continue reading “Theology and Ward’s False Friends”
Evangelism, Religious Liberty, and We Almost Got Arrested
Occasionally I go out with a group of students to the campus of Virginia Tech and share the Gospel via Christian apologetics and Christian worldview. Oddly enough we all hold to the KJV and yet here we are doing apologetics. I seem to remember a certain Christian apologist telling me that people who hold theContinue reading “Evangelism, Religious Liberty, and We Almost Got Arrested”
Ad hoc attacks on the Authority of the King James Bible as the Word of God in English and Theological Bomb Throwers
Against the individual academic pretender’s ad hoc disparagement of the AV stands the irrefutable historic truth that the AV has been and continues to be the standard sacred English text for the contemporary covenant keeper. Not every covenant keeper of course because spiritual maturity and intellectual acumen is a perpetual variable in the Church. So-calledContinue reading “Ad hoc attacks on the Authority of the King James Bible as the Word of God in English and Theological Bomb Throwers”

A Normative and Indeed Welcome Response to the Presentation of Academic Papers
Dr. Mark Ward, Dr. Will Ross and Dr. John Meade recently released a joint YouTube video on what Dr. Ward describes as a means to “help me break my two-year silence* on Confessional Bibliology” and “to respond to their recent Reformation Bible Society Conference.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wozfw14b4n8&t=221s Both Drs. Van Kleeck delivered lectures at the conference. Dr.Continue reading “A Normative and Indeed Welcome Response to the Presentation of Academic Papers”

Augustine and the LXX – Reformation Bible Society Breakout Lecture
In this paper, I examine whether Augustine’s belief in the LXX was rational (i.e., not merely a feeling, intuition, or a belief lacking in evidence) and warranted (i.e., justified according to certain accepted belief-forming criteria). I’d like to thank the Reformation Bible Society for allowing me to present this paper. Blessings.
Last Sunday Night’s Interaction with a Wolf
My pastor was away with his wife visiting grandkids and asked me to over the evening service for him, a privilege I happily accepted. Ours is a small country church filled with saints that love the Lord. Sunday evening, the numbers were down but the singing of favorite hymns was sweet and robust. I usedContinue reading “Last Sunday Night’s Interaction with a Wolf”
The Reformation Bible Society – What Exactly is the Septuagint?
If you missed the inaugural meeting of the Reformation Bible Society, here is the first plenary lecture by Dr. Russell Fuller. He does an excellent job laying out the history and state of the LXX. If the LXX has been something of a mystery to you, Dr. Fuller certainly puts you on the right trackContinue reading “The Reformation Bible Society – What Exactly is the Septuagint?”
