The latest edition of Edge featured an essay by Elaine Pagels entitled “The Book of Revelation: Prophecy and Politics.” As most of you know, Edge is more or less a think-tank of secularists, evolutionary psychologists, scientists, etc. (e.g. Sam Harris) who are continually puzzled by why religion still exists. Why hasn’t evolution gotten rid of [...]

When asked why we recommend the KJV, people are surprised to learn that the King James Version and the New King James Version are the only English translations based on the correct Greek text of the New Testament, the Textus Receptus, or Received Text.

The Lord has graciously opened up various ministry opportunities over the past several weeks. And after finishing teaching through chapter 1 (Scripture) of the LBCF at church, doing a week long blog exchange with a Textus Receptus Onlyist (Dr. Jeff Riddle), and after speaking at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship for SDSMT last Thursday night on the [...]

Picking up from the last segment (here or here, depending on what you consider “last”), Riddle goes on in his 4th rejoinder: Second, Hubner assumes that no reasonable person could possibly believe that the pericopae adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is part of the text of Scripture. He asks, “And, is Riddle really suggesting the pericope in [...]

Pastor Riddle posted a few straight denials and some concise questions regarding our exchanges. He says: 1. Hubner incorrectly identifies me and Alan J. Macgregor as KJV-Only-ists. This is an odd charge. I said in the very first post that “Clearly, Macgregor falls somewhere in categories 1 and 2 of King James Only Advocates (see [...]
