You are side stepping the issue and point I was making with God's word. Was Abraham faith or belief accounted to him for righteousness? The Bible says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." (Romans 4:3). Cross reference that ties into this: Genesis 15:1-6...

I am a strong proponent of the original languages that underly the KJV. The KJV believer I debated (Matthew Verschuur) does not believe the original languages are necessary for your average KJV believer. I believe his view is incorrect. The Hebrew and Greek is like reading the Bible in color...

To believe is the work of God according to Scripture. Jesus did not say to believe is the work of man. Also, to be born again is done by the Holy Spirit. It's not something you can do to yourself. It's a spiritual heart surgery. To say so otherwise means you do not know what being born...

Some probably did and others did not. To say so otherwise means nobody was saved in that period of time, which would be silly. Anyway, the point is that the Protestant Reformation (the proto-Arminian version which later became Arminian) was certainly a better step in the right direction against...

Genesis 15:5-6 5 "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." "...for we say that faith was...

I am not denying the second aspect of faith which is Sanctification. If I am understanding your position here correctly, to imply that the first step is Sanctification is to put the cart before the horse. We are first saved by God's grace through faith without works. Again, I am not sure you...

I beg to differ. Catholicism was not only wrong because of its extra biblical traditions that were heretical, but in the fact that they made salvation an entirely a works based system whereby you can never be saved by God's grace through faith without works in your initial salvation. If this...

Edit correction: Meant to say "the Judgment" with the definite article, and not just "judgment". The Judgment I am referring to here is the one where Christ will judge all men. ....

I am no friend of Calvinism, and I agree that it is a heretical doctrine. The implication of Calvinism is basically that man is not really accountable to God, and it is God who force-saves a select few against their will based on no conditions. The other flip-side of this is that the Calvinistic...

I think the larger context is important here because I do not see Paul introducing a new principle of justification in Galatians 2:16 that is different from the one he explains through Abraham in Galatians 3 and Romans 4. The controversy in Galatians concerns people seeking to add works of the...

Am I understanding your interpretation of Galatians 2:16 correctly? Are you taking the Greek ἐὰν μὴ in its wooden sense of “if not” and understanding the verse along the lines of the following? “A man cannot be seen as righteous by doing the works of the law, if not through the faithfulness of...

I don't believe so. I think there are many on the TR/KJV side (like myself) who say that Modern Bible believers are Christians. I would say that salvation is for those in the Modern Bible Movement if they are ignorant on the issues and they do not make it their life mission to destroy one's...

In Galatians 2:16, the issue is not settled for me. While I am now leaning toward the objective sense of “faith of Jesus Christ” (KJV), which would be translated into modern English as “faith in Jesus Christ,” I still see the subjective genitive sense, “faithfulness of Jesus Christ,” as a...

By the answer that I gave you, it shows that my answer is an obvious, "Yes." ....

You need to read Mike Fernando's paper titled, "The Witness of God is Greater: 1500 years of the Heavenly and Earthly Witnesses." https://kjvdebate.com/pdf While I would not personally use all the points he claims as a defense, there are strong evidences for the Johannine Comma in his several...

My position on the Bibliology topic is best described as: "The KJV + Its Underlying Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek." I see the KJV as a providential translation that is without error and it should be preached in English churches today. I see the underlying original languages of the KJV as the...

Millions of manuscripts were lost in World War 2 according to Dan Wallace. The 1666 London fire also no doubt had led to a lot lost manuscripts, too. There are also other events in history that led to destruction of manuscripts. So to say that a manuscript tradition is inferior if they...

Its a cumulative case. It's a historical fact that the TR/KJV is a settled text to a large body of Christians and it there is no large groups trying to continue a revision of it endlessly like the Westcott and Hort/Nestle and Aland text. A standard settled word of God is betting of Scripture...

Before we move to your new distinction between “direct textual evidence” and “corroborating evidence,” you need to acknowledge that you have substantially changed your position. Previously, you said that I had “pushed an AI until it fabricated TR-distinct readings” and treated my discoveries as...

I am willing to acknowledge that there was a period in history when the textual question was more open-ended. Manuscripts were being compared, readings were being examined, printed Greek editions were being produced, and textual refinement was taking place. We can actually see that refinement...
