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. […]
What Is the “False Doctrine” of Only One Text of the Bible? (Part Four)
Part One Part Two Part Three Most of what we believe occurs like the following. One, we read the Bible with a grammatical, historical interpretation or hear right preaching of the Bible. Two, we believe what we read or hear and that becomes our beliefs. Three, we look for the fulfillment of scripture […]
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)

2 Timothy 3:16 Three Words The classic location for the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible is in 2 Timothy 3:16.

The first part provides the doctrine, which says: “All scripture […]
Does the KJV mistranslate with the phrase “God forbid”?
The phrase “God forbid” is relatively frequently asserted to be a mistranslation in the King James Version: Me genoito … means literally, Be it not so, and which might properly be paraphrased by our emphatic “Never!” but which … with small warrant … [has been] seen fit to paraphrase by using the semi-profane expression, […]
Editions of the King James Version and the Criticism of Not Updating It
I’m sure someone has made this argument, even though I haven’t heard it. Someone might call the five previous editions of the King James Version an argument for another update. Four editions followed the original 1611. Why no sixth edition? Why did we stop at 1769, the date of the last edition, what is called […]
