Textual Variants, Preservation of Scripture, and the Westminster Assembly (Part Two)
Part One Cherry Picking Quotes Instead of Showing Direct Evidence Zachary Cole apparently presented his paper, “Providential Preservation of Scripture and Textual Criticism in the Sermons of Westminster Divines” (68.3 (2025): 405–23), in a late 2025 edition of JETS at a recent meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. I don’t want to misrepresent him. His […]
What About the Phrase about Scripture, “Inspired in the Original Manuscripts”?
“Inspired in the Original Manuscripts” In the last few days, I watched on a podcast someone lecture on dispensationalism. While teaching, he used a phrase to describe scripture, “inspired in the original manuscripts.” That phrase does not sit well with me. For one, it is not itself scripture, and, two, it is not the historic […]
What Is the “False Doctrine” of Only One Text of the Bible? (Part Five)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four So, no apology is necessary for saying there’s one Bible. Why? There’s one Bible. Is that Bible the King James Version? It is the underlying text. I recently heard someone say, the underlying text for the King James Version text didn’t happen until 1881. […]
Acts 5:30 & James White: King James Version Only Debate
As many blog readers know, I had the privilege of debating James White-who utilized Acts 5:30 as a key part of his argument–on the topic: The Legacy Standard Bible, as a representative of modern English translations based upon the UBS/NA text, is superior to the KJV, as a representative of TR-based Bible translations. You can […]
John 5:4 KJV/TR: Inspired Scripture or Inserted Invention?
John 5:4 appears in the Greek Textus Receptus, the English King James Version or Authorized Version (KJV / KJB / AV), and in other Received Text – based Bibles. However, it is omitted in many modern Bible versions. The verse reads: John 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, […]
Mark Ward / Thomas Ross Videos on King James Version English
As What is Truth? readers may know, Dr. Mark Ward, Bob Jones University graduate and Logos Bible software employee, produced a series of three videos (5/2/2024; 5/9/2024; 5/16/2024–note that I am making it quite easy to find his videos if you want to do so, while he made it difficult to locate the video of […]
Reformed Systematic Theology v. 1, Joel Beeke & Paul Smalley
I recently finished reading Joel R. Beeke and Paul M. Smalley, Reformed Systematic Theology vol. 1: Revelation and God (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2019). I had purchased it on Logos Bible Software and, because I thought it had lots of good features, also purchased a physical copy with Reformation Heritage Books (which may be cheaper than […]
Books By David Cloud Read Aloud: Can You Help Truth Get Out?
Way of Life Literature, run by Bro David Cloud, has many excellent resources. David Cloud has also written many excellent books, as well as useful videos one can find on his website. While not infallible, of course, they are well-researched, sound in doctrine, and something I could recommend highly to almost any Christian. I am very […]
