  • James did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions (Part 1 • Dr. Jeff Riddle vs. Dr... / • Dr. Jeff Riddle vs. Dr... Part2) and attempted to clarify his motivations for addressing this topic in light of the accusations and attacks that have come his way since then.

    Hi Dr. White, I hear you say that the reformers didn't have the other text but John Calvin and John Gill in their commentaries referred to these manuscripts of John 8:3 and stated these verses belonged in the bible. John Gill Stated: "This history of the woman taken in adultery, is wanting in the Alexandrian copy, and in other ancient copies; nor is it in Nonnus, Chrysostom, and Theophylact; nor in any of the editions of the Syriac version, until it was restored by De Dieu, from a copy of Archbishop Usher's; but was in the Arabic and Ethiopic versions, and in the Harmonies of Tatian and Ammonius; the former of which lived about the year 160, and so within 60 years, or thereabouts, of the death of the Evangelist John, and the other about the year 230; it was also in Stephens's sixteen ancient Greek copies, and in all Beza's seventeen, excepting one; nor need the authenticness of it be doubted of; Eusebius (e) says, it is in the Gospel according to the Hebrews; nor should its authority be called in question."

    Thankfully God preserved His word for us in English so we don't have to know and understand Greek and Hebrew. Its a supernatural thing that only God knows all the details about snd and He wants us to trust His words.
    I've binged-listened to James White on RUclips, hours of debate and lecture, and I don't sense the Holy Spirit at work or getting the credit for preservation from James White.
    What I notice from listening to White is a focus all wrapped up in the physical, intellectual aspects of the topic of manuscripts and preservation, a man who refuses to answer questions at times, a message lost in doubt and not enough details that truly represent the TR side thereby belittling it.
    I see a man who loves the printed page and leather binding... Not a man who has a faith that depends on the living words of the author (God).
    I would like to hear your salvation testimony, Dr. White. Would you share it here or direct me to a video where you have already shared it? Thanks in advance.

    A circumstantial case for the Comma of John: In 484 A.D. the bishop of Carthage with 400 bishops quoted the comma to an Arian Vandal king. Being the bishop of Carthage, he would have had access to the Scriptures of Cyprian, and he probably had a Vulgate, maybe a first edition. Also, Gregory Nazianzus wrote on the grammar, and he had a student named Jerome. Seems strong evidence to me. Blessings.

    I think one of the reasons Dr. White is so passionate about this is he grew up in the IFB and likely saw, firsthand, the damage KJV Onlyism has done. So, when he sees TR Onlyism amongst Reformed people who really ought to know better, he sees right through it for the idolatry it can be and often is.

      So because he rebelled and has made it his life mission to promote Biblical criticism, we are to trust him?
      Hebrews 4:12-13 KJV:
      12) "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
      13) "Neither is there any creature that is not manifested in HIS sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
      White loves to go to the Greek, so in verse 12, when the word of God declares to be a discerner of men's thoughts and intents, then a quick study of the word reveals that it equates to "critic" which is what White is (a Bible critic), when in reality, the Bible critiques us! Exact opposite and entirely opposed to the truth of God's word.
      Notice in verse 13, where it declares that there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight. Who is the "his"? It is the Bible and NOT some critic who does not condemn, but rather utilizes and promotes Westcott & Hort; two self professing lovers of Rome and haters of orthodox Christianity and the very atonement of Christ. We have no need to search the Greek when God provided His preserved word. Just my opinion and I mean no harm towards you, but I absolutely do not support James White and I pray that he somehow, some way repents and stops this madness. God bless

      I was trying to point out the common error amongst Christians of allowing personal experiences to influence their thoughts. James White moves as far away from his "early days" as possible and loves to make videos where he smooth talks his listeners into dismissing things like the pre-tribulation rapture, dispensationalism and most importantly, the exclusive use of the King James Bible as the final authority.
      It is a sad day when one man can write books and make videos defending the Holy Bible and be deemed a cult leader and another can write a book and make videos that point out the "errors" in the Bible and be looked upon as some sort of knight in shining armour. James White is no friend of mine because he attacks that book and those who defend that book. I am no language expert, but I know that biblios means book and that makes White a Bible critic. I choose the Bible to be my final authority. Call me a cultist if that is one's definition of the term.

    Do you believe in the doctrine of the preservation of God’s word?
    If so, where is the true words of God?
    As James White has said, I don’t know. So when somebody claims with EVIDENCE that the TR is the true words of God people like you get mad.

    • @SwollenostrichTM
      @SwollenostrichTM 2 года назад

      No it’s because of you claim the TR (whatever that is, because there are multiple TRs) is the only one true New Testament, you have to be consistent. Since we know that no single Greek manuscript or language version of the NT matches the scrivener TR exactly, the argument is turned back on you with the same question “where was the Word of God prior to 1611” or scriveners academic exercise in the 19th century.

    • @thomasglass9491
      @thomasglass9491 2 года назад

      @J E Bagoong “no single Greek manuscript” That’s not true but not everything needs to be Greek. What to the Bibles who used the TR before the KJV?
      Where was the academic exercise of Wescott and Hort prior the 19th century?
      The Dead Sea scrolls findings of the NT support the TR and they are Greek. But manuscript and evidence of the early Christians support the reading of the TR of the KJV. So, you’re wrong!
      Let me ask you a question. God promise to preserve his words through generations. Where is his original words? Because according to James White and the majority of “scholars” don’t know.

    • @SwollenostrichTM

      @@thomasglass9491 I found a type-o in my previous post. It should read “no single Greek manuscript or language version of the NT MATCHES the scrivener TR exactly,” not “Matthew”. I assume, based on your response, that you understood the type-o to be “matches” but I wanted to clarify this, just in case it causes confusion.
      Yes, that is a true statement. If you want to contradict it, please list one manuscript by name or number that matches the scrivener TR word for word prior to the creation of Erasmus’ first edition in 1516. I also mentioned no “language version,” meaning the Latin, Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, etc. manuscripts of the handwritten period 1st to mostly 15th centuries). None of them that have ever been found match the scrivener TR word for word either. The form in the 1611 kjv text simply did not exist in that specific word for word form before 1611 in any manuscript, Greek or versions language manuscript we have ever found.
      The Bible’s that use the TR before the kjv? Ok. The multiple English translations (Coverdale, Tyndale, bishops, the great, etc) as well as Luthers’ German translation and others, that were printed in the 16th century used the various printed eclectic critical Greek texts of their day, i.e. the multiple editions of Erasmus, Stephanus, and Beza, as well as a couple of others. These printed Greek texts (TR’s) do not agree with each other in every textual variant. Neither do they agree with the kjv in every textual variant, and by extension since scrivener created a “TR” in the 19th century based on the textual choices the kjv committee chose, none of the multiple “TRs” agree on every textual variant with scriveners text either. (By the way, scrivener’s text is only called the “TR” today. Scrivener didn’t call it that. For him it was just an academic exercise.)
      The Dead Sea scrolls? It’s my understanding that sheds light on certain Old Testament issues, since those documents are dated from the 3rd century BC to the 1st AD, but I have no idea what that has to do with the TR. I promise you, nothing found in the caves of Qumran has anything to do with proving the form of the scrivener TR/kjv text of the New Testament was in that singular word for word, textual variant for textual variant form before 1611. I’m sorry, but I suspect you have heard this once or twice in a kjv only presentation and repeated it without checking it. If not, please tell me how anything found in the Dead Sea scrolls verifies the Greek TR or the kjv.
      “Manuscript and evidence of the early Christians support the reading of the TR.” again, please clarify what you mean by this and offer evidence. Obviously the vast majority of readings found in the kjv are out there somewhere in Greek manuscripts from the 1st to 15th centuries, whether they are minority readings found only in a handful of manuscripts or majority readings found in the majority of Greek manuscripts. (You do realize the kjv is not a pure majority text right? The scrivener TR departs from the majority text in at least several hundred places. One count by dr. Wallace was as high as 1838, but I’m not sure how many of those are meaningful differences capable of being translated outside of Greek, so I offer caution with that high number)
      However, the kjv also has some Latin interpolations in it (places where the reading was taken straight from the Latin vulgate without Greek manuscript authority). It also has a handful or so of mistakes cause by Erasmus or Beza. These mistakes have never been found in any or most manuscripts of not just Greek, but any language.
      When you put it all together I stand by my original statements that the scrivener TR or the form of the kjv in English has never been found in a textual variant for textual variant, word for word form I any manuscript of any language. It’s not even a debatable statement by anyone who has looked at the evidence.
      People did textual criticism long before westcott and Hort. Origin, Jerome, Erasmus, Stephanus, Beza, the team of the complutensian polyglot, John mill,
      Griesbach, and on and on; too many to list really. The King James Bible is itself a product of textual criticism, just like modern bibles. I’m sorry, but anyone who denies this fact has been drinking from only one well. Erasmus, Stephanus and Beza all did textual criticism and consequently came to different textual conclusions. These varied printed eclectic critical texts are the primary basis of the translation of the NT of the kjv. If you translate from eclectic critical sources, then what you produce is an eclectic critical translation. That’s what the kjv is.
      “God promised to preserve His Words throughout all generations.” Sigh. Here we go with psalm 12 I’m assuming. When I read psalm 12 in English I see the idea that God keeps His promises, specifically the promises of protection and vindication for the oppressed or slandered. I don’t see anything to do specifically with scripture or God promising there would be no textual variants. When Hebrew scholars read verse 7, overwhelmingly they say that the promise of preservation is to the people, not to the words. The whole passage is about the protection and vindication of the weak, the oppressed, the wronged, the slandered at the hands of the wicked. It’s not about the copying of scripture and the promise of no textual variation in that copying process.
      The idea that a specific line of manuscripts or a series of eclectic critical texts from the 16th century (the TR’s) are the sole fulfillment of psalm 12 is absurd. That is a violation of the facts of textual history, not my opinion, but history. No Greek manuscript of the NT reads identically to any other Greek manuscript of the NT. So by what I am assuming is your interpretation of psalm 12 or your definition of preservation in general, coupled with this fact, then God failed. Again, I’ll say the plain reading of all of psalm 12 doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the scribal copying of scripture and the promise of no textual variation. But if that is the promise, then by that interpretation you have to conclude God failed, because clearly this did not happen. We can’t make up a fictional version of history and pretend that the TR has been the one Bible that has always existed because it’s more comfortable for the theological presuppositions we hold. We must seek out the truth, however uncomfortable it may be. Holding to lies and exaggerations does not honor God. Thankfully, though, that doesn’t appear to be what psalm 12 is saying at all. When I read psalm 12 I see the hope of imperfect human justice or divine “karma” in this life (you reap what you sew), but also the promise of the ultimate perfect justice and balancing of all scales on judgement day.
      As far as preservation goes, the questions should be what are the facts of the manuscript tradition? How are they alike, but how do they differ? If preservation means something, what does it mean? What has been preserved from God’s perspective, or rather what is God’s version of preservation? These types of questions point us to the truth, rather than what we want to be true. The idea that there has always just been one NT in one single word form throughout all of history is a lie. It’s a comfortable lie, to be sure. It’s a lie that gets a lot of amens in the echo chambers, but a lie non the less
