Textual Variants, Preservation of Scripture, and the Westminster Assembly (Part Four)
Part One Part Two Part Three Westminster Confession of Faith 1.8 in the section on the Holy Scriptures reads: The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was most […]
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 […]
Textual Variants, Preservation of Scripture, and the Westminster Assembly
True doctrine comes from scripture. It doesn’t come from consensus and so-called science. The first question about the correct position on the preservation of the Bible should be, “What does the Bible say about its own preservation?” Armed with what God’s Word says about itself, one considers all related materials. Through history men made errors […]
The Prevarication of Mark Ward with Wes Huff on the Textus Receptus (part three)
Part One Part Two In the last part of an interview with Mark Ward, Wes Huff asked about Textus Receptus versus Critical Text. Ward went off on a four minute rant that I dissect so far in two parts, where I include a transcript of what He said. I’m going to provide only the […]
The Prevarication of Mark Ward with Wes Huff on the Textus Receptus (part two)
Part One Wes Huff interviewed Mark Ward on his podcast, taking on the subject: “Issues with English Bible Translation.” I’m not going to deal with any aspect of the video except for the subject of the underlying text of the English Bible. Huff brought up the issue and asked Mark Ward a question about it. […]
Answering the “Cultish” Wes Huff Podcast on King James Only (Part Two)
Where I left off in part one, here I pick up at about 28:30 in the first episode against KJVO on Cultish with Wes Huff interview. Part One Loving the KJV? About middle of first episode, Wes Huff says he loves the King James Version, even though he also says in the same paragraph that […]
Answering the “Cultish” Wes Huff Podcast on King James Only (Part One)
Cultish from Apologia Studios Shortly after Wes Huff appeared on Joe Rogan, he came on a podcast, which affiliates with Apologia Studios, called “Cultish.” The men who do this show are also trying to become viewer or listener funded. In other words, they think they should go full time doing what they do. Their show […]
Wes Huff on Joe Rogan: The Dead Sea Isaiah Scroll and the Hebrew Masoretic Text
Part One Huff, O’Connor, and Rogan Popular agnostic or atheist Alex O’Connor, not as popular as Joe Rogan but more than everyone else in this story, has caught onto an error made by evangelical apologist Wes Huff on Rogan’s show. O’Connor sees this as very important in a greater scheme of things. He also targets […]
A Sincere, Accurate Assessment Contrasting Translational Choices Versus Underlying Original Language Text
Sufficient Intelligibility and False Friends The most prominent recent conversation about the Bible (that I’ve seen) revolves around “sufficient intelligibility” of the King James Version. Some words used by the King James translators have changed in meaning since their translation. Podcaster Mark Ward declares about one hundred words as “false friends.” As an overview of […]
God’s Perfect Preservation of the Old Testament Hebrew Text and the King James Version (Part Two)
Part One Most talk about the text of the Bible focuses on the New Testament. The Old Testament is much larger and yet there is less variation in extant copies of the Old Testament than the New. As well, more Christian scholars know the Greek than the Hebrew, and when they know the Hebrew, they […]
