Gaussen See at the same time Tyndal, in England, fleeing from his native country never to return, concealing himself first in one city and then in another on the banks of the Rhine, from his persecutors, till at last he was enabled, according to his heart’s desire, to give to the English, inContinue reading “The Life and Times of William Tyndal: Angel of the Reformation”

THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF PERFECTION
The following post is an excerpt from Eschatological Grounding and is a component part of the argument for the perpetual utility of Scripture throughout the Eternal State. At the core of this discussion perfection is understood as being on a trajectory of infinite spiritual progression. This trajectory is fundamentally established on the reality that theContinue reading “THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF PERFECTION”
WHY CRITICAL SCHOLARSHIP DISDAINS THE KING JAMES BIBLE (AND FISHERMEN)
The Church gets along just fine without an intellectually intimidating Academy. The Church can easily do without being told they cannot read their Bible without some scholar or scholar wannabe’s pontification. The Church serves and pleases God without knowing a stich of Greek or Hebrew diction, syntax, or grammar. Do we really need to knowContinue reading “WHY CRITICAL SCHOLARSHIP DISDAINS THE KING JAMES BIBLE (AND FISHERMEN)”

In summary, he concluded that the education of children was not the department’s purpose because well-educated children would giveContinue reading “The Department of Education, Big Pharma, and Bible Publishers”
Qualitative and Quantitative Difference: Biblical Change is Always Major
So I shot a video tonight and my mic was not selected so the whole video was a waste and then summarily deleted. Rather than doing nothing I asked the machine (ChatGPT) to share a word on qualitative vs quantitative change in Scripture and the following are its rather adroit conclusions. At StandardSacredText.com, we oftenContinue reading “Qualitative and Quantitative Difference: Biblical Change is Always Major”
Competing Bibles and the Fire that Renovates Sin-cursed Creation
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”
