Did the NIV Scrub Jesus Omnipresence from John 3:13? Answering King James Version Onlyists
<p>If you told me 10 years ago that I would be defending the NIV and modern English versions from attacks from King James Version Onlyists, I may have wanted to fight. But, here we are. I was asked to respond to another of Jack McElroy’s infographics from his book of absurdities. In this video, I […]</p>

Does the NIV Scrub Jesus’ Omnipresence in John 3:13?
<p>According to Jack McElroy and his book, “Which Bible Would Jesus Use?”, the NIV scrubs Jesus’ omnipresence. His supposed evidence is John 3:13. Let’s look at this verse in the KJV and also in the NIV. John 3:13 (NIV)13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. […]</p>

A Biblical Understanding of 2 Peter 3:9
<p>2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. If we look at this verse outside of its context, then it may easily be used to teach either Universalism, Provisionism, […]</p>

Let’s Talk about Baal Gate and Non-Elect Infants – Extreme Trigger Warning!

How to Properly Defend the KJV and What Arguments You Should Never Use
<p>I want to teach you how to properly defend the KJV and teach you what arguments should NEVER EVER EVER be used. There are three areas where those who use the KJV may choose to defend it: 1. when talking with a non-theist who rejects any scripture given by any deity 2. when talking with […]</p>

Responding to Dan McClellan, Does the Bible say the Bible is the inspired word of God?
<p> @maklelan states that he is going to argue that this statement is wrong on three grounds. First, he is going to argue that the Bible never refers to the Bible because the canon wasn’t closed. He is going to base part of this argument on New Testament references to non-canonical books. He also asserts that […]</p>

The New World Translation, What a Real Corruption of the Bible Looks Like
<p>I get multiple comments, emails, and private messages every single day telling me that all modern English versions are perversions and purposeful corruptions. And it simply isn’t factually accurate to make such a statement. But while not all modern English translations are corruptions, some really are, and I wish to focus on one today and […]</p>

Brandan Robertson, Robert Breaker, Gene Kim, and Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth
<p>We have a MAJOR problem. Many Dispensationalists (not all) simply cannot defend the consistency, coherency, and cohesiveness of the scripture. Almost daily, I get emails, private messages, and more about how I don’t understand the gospel because I don’t accept that Jesus preached a works gospel and that Paul preached the true gospel of grace.

Why is Acts 8:37 Not in Modern Bible Versions? Answering King James Version Onlyists
<p>Acts 8:37 is one of the favorite verses among King James Version Onlyists as an example of a modern English Version corruption or perversion. Why do King James Onlyists accuse the editors of modern versions of removing this verse? Because, modern versions are created by unsaved people who wish to take away the idea of […]</p>

1 Timothy 3:16 – GOD or HE Was Manifest in the Flesh? – Responding to King James Only
<p>1 Timothy 3:16 is a common verse that KJVO like to use to attack modern English versions. The argument is not new, but this week, the KJVO rallied behind this graphic that says, “SEE THE BIG DIFFERENCE”. The KJVO say that by using the word “He” instead of “God”, modern versions are attacking the deity […]</p>

Are Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus Arian Corruptions? Why You Should Care
<p>I am part of a Facebook Group that discusses Textual Criticism, particularly that of the New Testament. There was a little bit of a dust-up yesterday when… I had better not say King James Onlyist, but I really think he is. But just to be on the safe side, I will say he is a […]</p>

Reflecting on the IFB’s Response to Let Us Prey
<p>Note: although I did not mention the person by name or give attribution to his tweet, a brother whose tweet I shared has denied any affiliation with the overlapping “circles”.

Are Christmas Trees Forbidden in the Bible?
<p>Several years ago, I had a man at church tell me that Christmas trees were pagan idols and were expressly forbidden in the Bible. He used Jeremiah 10:2-4 to prove his point. How brilliant is it that God condemned the use of trees to commemorate and celebrate the first coming of Christ nearly 2,000 years […]</p>

Are KJVO Gail Riplinger and Jack Chick Right About Westcott’s Affinity for Ghosts and Spirits?
<p>Brooke Foss Westcott has long been a person of controversy and is considered anathema to King James Version Onlyists. His work, along with Fenton Hort and others, in producing The New Testament in Original Greek in 1881 has placed him among the most cruelest of heretics in the eyes of King James Version Onlyists for […]</p>

Does Isaiah 9:6 Debunk the Trinity?
<p>Does Isaiah 9:6 Debunk the Trinity? How could I even ask such a question? Because many Oneness Pentecostals use it to disprove the Trinity. Sadly, many Trinitarians contribute to the problem because they simply do not know how to handle that verse. Let’s have a look at the verse.
