The most important lesson I've learned from Mark Ward is that you can, and should, argue graciously. Thank you for the real-life example of love towards fellow believers of differing opinions.
I don't know about others but I came along for the Bible translation info. The kjvo stuff was just a bonus. I truly found the English issues and translation questions fascinating
Thank you mark. I came out of KJVO in March of 24. You were a massive help and support. It’s scary leaving kjvo, you made that far more comfortable. Also, you’re not a slave. You deserve compensation for your work. The ox and the corn and all.
Thank you for being so real about the hard choices and unknowns you are facing. Some of the upheaval your family is facing mirrors where my family is currently. It’s good to watch you cling to God so closely even as you hold your career decisions so loosely, yet responsibly. We need examples of what following God through the mist of uncertainty looks like. I know I can’t get enough about how the Bible functions linguistically and how it came to us in the shape it is from ancient times to modern translation choices. If it’s word nerdy and spiritually edifying, I’m in. I’m sure you’ll find things that you enjoy discussing and people enjoy watching and sharing. May God refresh and enlarge your hearts as you demonstrate your love for God and man in such a deeply personal way!
You've me made a follower for life. I consider KJV Onlyism to be the most divisive and extreme belief held in the IFB world, and you've definitely done a good work by shedding light on the holes in this truly negatively impactful belief. A while ago I asked myself as a member of an IFB church (that I still faithfully attend, because of the potential I believe it has) why it is that I am a KJV Onlyist. After that, I educated myself, was willing to be wrong, (like I had to be when I placed my faith in Christ) and realized the problems with what I believed. Now the subject of the text and translation, is one my favorite things to discuss. I've learned that there is value in understanding how we can have the Word of God in our hands today.
Times New Roman, Ariel and Tahoma walk into a bar but are refused service when the bar tender says, "We don't serve your type in here..." It's relevant - Mark mentioned type fonts! :-)
God bless you Mark. I've joined at the $5 level. I'm here for the general Bible nerdy stuff rather than the more technical courses you will offer. I've learnt a lot from you in the time I've watched your channel. Thank you so much and good luck in this new endeavour
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much! Courses will initially, at least, be available at the $25/mo. level-but they will move to the $5/mo. level in time, then free.
This is so exciting! Loving your videos and all the work you’re doing! Thanks so much for the work you’re doing for the Lord ❤ Praying for you and your ministry, and very excited about the upcoming courses! ❤
I first got interested in you when I saw you interviewed by Sean McDowell about King James only, and that inspired me to buy your book and read it. (Wonderful book, BTW.) I’m interested in the King James only controversy, but I’m interested in it partly because of its relationship to words, linguistics, translation issues, etc., so I’m interested in seeing where you’ll go from here with Ward on Words, and some of your classes sound very interesting to me. I pray for you that God will guide you in 2025 and beyond.
God be with you dear brother! You seem like a teacher to me, that bridge from behind the academic curtain to the people. I pray that our Father makes a way for you to thrive in what He has blessed you with.
Mark what can i say sir, your KJV Only videos are what attracted me to your channel and i think you've done an EXTREMELY thorough job on it. The extents you went in discussing KJV Onlyism blew me away. That being said, I'm excited to see what 2025 has in store. Your attention to detail and thoroughness is something i don't see very much anymore in Bible teachers. So you've definitely got a life long subscriber with me. I know ANY video you produce will be engaging, thoroughly researched, and well worth the time to watch / listen.
Brother, help the wider audience understand their Bibles better! You’ve been exceptionally good at it, your personality is also a gift, and you have made it fun. Isn’t that your recipe?
Mark, so happy for you and the new direction. It takes real courage to do this. I know there are some days you’ll second guess your decision but God will richly bless you and point the way.
I would like to see you and Wes Huff team up on 1 corinthians mainly tongues and church discipline. Youre statement " edification requires intelligibility " literally changed my life, its a really big deal and not just a concept. I personally think the church needs reformation in a lot of areas.
These kinds of life-changing moments can be exciting and scary. I will be praying for your discernment and your joy moving forward into these new challenges.
Andrew Case does leave an impression about how ministry should be supported, huh? Looking forward to see what the Lord has for you in the future. Wish I could support more than views. If you ever come south to Redding, CA I would love to host you at out small church.
Bob Jones - I don't hear much about that up here in Western Canada, but many people I know and love graduated from that university, my sister, for one! She and her husband actually met in the music program there. :) Exciting to see the changes here and looking forward to joining you on this new adventure! Thank you for your service to the youtube-students of the world! And courses - yes please! Will prayerfully consider joining your community but I'm here to learn how and when I can regardless!
Awesome to see you step out in faith that the lord will provide! He always does. Currently in a similar season as you. I only see growth when your channel moves beyond the KJVO niche. Your brilliant mind is a gift to the body of Christ! Thank you. 🙏🏽
I, at least, can say I didn't really stay around for the "kjvo" bit but the clarity of the words and word change. I watch other, non-Christian channels on words so I can only imagine that you branching out can only be a positive. God bless, and God willing RUclips will allow you to do all the things you are trying to do, all while being a blessing to others.
Thank you for your work in support of Christ’s body. I have referred many people to your work on KJVonlyism and I have enjoyed your word “nerdery” on the channel as well. I look forward to supporting you in your new endeavors.
Thanks so much for your work on KJVO, Mark. I will pray for your new endeavours. Yes, please! Please write a book for pastors on ἀγάπη! Just today I had someone telling me it had a particular meaning, like one of the supposed 100 Inuit words for different kinds of snow.
I have a love for hermeneutics as well, and have regularly taught biblical hermeneutics at Immanuel over the past 30 years. I have also been blessed to teach the introductory course at Grace Bible Theological Seminary in the past. Perhaps you could help them out in the future? At any rate, I look forward to your work in this area. One can never stop learning to interpret the Bible better.
Mark, my dad and I have been working on a site that we think could be really prosperous. I feel like this could be a fateful crossing of paths as you would be a great asset to our mission for the site, which aims to benefit Christians in loving and studying the Bible.
Thanks for the update. I appreciate some of your feelings and unknowns about the future. I am facing some of the same issues at the moment. I look forward to what God leads you to seeing what God does through you. I am glad you are keeping your family in mind, even if it means we get fewer personal replies. They need to you even more than we do. May God’s wisdom and peace surround you as aways as you follow Him.
Congratulations on your new direction, and on your elegant and cogent choices of font! (I suspect that you may continue to have some use for Brokenscript font on occasion: and I’m NOT just saying that because I love Brokenscript as much as I love the other fonts you are now going for. There will be times, after all, when you wish to discuss medieval/Early Modern English words!)
I would like to suggest to do church history. Most IFB are not familiar with church history and the Roman Catholic Church claims to be the original church. I'm sure it will be interesting and many will subscribe to it. Thanks for your faithfulness to the Lord!
I'll pray for you, Mark, and your family! 😇And someday I pray I'll be able to financially contribute to your Ward on Words ministry which indeed I believe is very important! I only wish I could financially help you now, but my own family is facing difficulties and challenges. But God willing, someday...!
Mark, you’ve got your hands full of course! I’m not sure how easy it would be for you to do this… but I would LOVE to see a podcast! Even just your blogs being read and recorded or the audio of your videos in a podcast format on Spotify or something! God bless you for everything you’re doing and for taking a step of faith here. Happy new year sir. All the best.
I've gotten this a few times, and if I were a full-time RUclipsr I think I would manage it. But I just can't afford the time. =| I did look into it more than once. Could you explain to me why this would be valuable? One other person did give a good answer to this question.
@@wardonwords Thanks for replying! I’m currently in law enforcement while working on an online theology degree, so I spend a lot of hours in my cruiser.

@ absolutely understandable! Do what’s right for your family! Something else to consider is the opportunity for sponsorships on the podcasts.

Given the attention deficit of today a 15 - 20/25 minute series of presentations on various topics is definitely something l would purchase....👍
Hey Mark, have been watching your channel for quite a while, you're very skillful and make some of the highest quality videos I know. I am excited to see what you're gonna do next, and am praying for your success. Personally I'd like to mention that your work on False Friends (Faux Ami's) has been eye opening to the point that I am planning a Faux Ami related project this year, but In my language: Hebrew (that is the notable but not huge difference between modern spoken Hebrew and biblical Hebrew). I see a need on this issue, will send you an Email when I publish the first related work (btw, I'm not a scholar just into it).
Dear Mark. I have appreciated our dialogues on here, as well as your work on the King James Bible readability issue. I love you as a brother in Christ, and am praying for the Lord to use you in ministry whether independently or in a full time position. May the Lord bless you in the new way you are going, and may he light that way clearly for you, in Jesus' name. Signed, A King James Bible Believer.
Thank you for changing the fonts. As a graphic designer versed in typography the typeface that you used for the KJV was awful! Great news about this new channel, Mark! Hopefully the only-ists will no longer troll you. 📖✝️🇦🇺
I actually love Brokenscript! It's a modern take on an old Fraktur. But it's time for it to go away. How do you feel about Alegreya Sans Black? Thank you for the kind word-and the prayer!
Not yet! All I can say is that it's on the history of the Bible and should release in late 2025 or early 2026 in theaters and on Amazon Prime! I'll say more when I'm allowed to!
I've been thinking you should write book about false friends in the KJV and write it with a mind to help those in the KJVO movement. Use a pseudonym and just write as though you are a KJVO author who is helping people understand the outdated words in the KJV. Write it to help people in the movement, not to correct and convert them. You're in my prayers brother. Have a blessed new year! 🙂
Hi, Mark! I was watching a video with Dr. Maurice Robinson, and he mentioned how there could be many more notes added to the NKJV Bible regarding translation comparisons. What are the chances that we will get a "full notes" edition of the NKJV in the same vein as the full notes NET Bible? I would be very happy to own such a Bible. Thank you for all of your hard work.
How do I become a Patreon supporter for you? I am inexperienced with the platform. Also, how do I become a member of your channel? I know it’s possible to become a member of a RUclips channel, but I don’t know how.
@@wardonwords He basically says the different words for 'love' in John are used interchangeably. "Are there different ‘loves’ in John 21?" is the blog title.
@@IamGrimalkin Yes, this is basically my perspective. I worked to deepen and extend the common arguments against the viewpoint that sees very different loves in the Greek words of the New Testament.
Hello Pr. Mark. Happy new year to you! Quick question, if you would still answer something related to Bible versions. One argument that KJV-onlyists use is that of the "two schools"--the one being Antioch, which, they say, produced the pure manuscripts, and the other being Alexandria, which produced corrupt manuscripts. I know you said you don't want to get caught up in the arguments over manuscripts, but I was wondering if you have any insights, or materials you can point me to, on this topic. In particular, I am curious if you have heard of B.G. Wilkinson's work "Truth Triumphant"? He teaches that Revelation and Daniel reveal that (Satan through) the Roman Catholic Papacy and God's "true church" have been in constant conflict, which has, among other ways, been manifested in the development and propagation of these two manuscript streams. Have you ever read this book? I remember you posted a link to your professor's (I think that's who it was) article on how the TR/Byz and CT are not that different (in any significant way). Would that be your response to all this? Do you perhaps have a video on this subject (that I possibly missed)? Blessings to you! I am not in the position to support your wonderful work, but know that I am praying for you! Love the work you do!
I think the best place to start with this topic is this little book by an acquaintance of mine I know and trust: www.amazon.com/dp/1433564092?tag=3755-20
@@wardonwords Ok, I can't remember if you recommended this one to me last time, but thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it! I want to teach these things to my students this year in my doctrinal class.
Discord access is going to linked to RUclips memberships. If there's a way to link it to Patreon support, I would LOVE that. I'm new to this world, and I'm working to get all the details ironed out.
I'm considering becoming a member here in RUclips but I can't figure out where to join. I'm subscribed to your channel but i see no "join membership" button
I just figured out my own answer! I'm happy to give to your channel. I grew up Baptist and around KJVO a lot. Thankfully today it seems like it's more constrained to the older generation even in Baptist congregations. Though I have quite a few friends from many denominations and it has been in a few of them more than others. I have been refreshed by your demeanor in how you have disagreed with people and your love you show. Thank you for spreading truth gracefully.
Hi , I really want to know if you have New Cambridge Paragraph Bible with papers cream not white because I like cream papers to help me read prevent my strains eyes. Please help me, I has one that is white paper. I want margin wide and line up with dictionary all together.
Happy New Year! I'll pray that you overcome the KJV Derangement Syndrome and stop being a false friend to the scriptures that one can hold in his hands per the scriptural definition of the word "scripture" in 2 Timothy 3:15-16.
@Move_I_Got_This-b3v it is strange to me that you believe impersonal unwelcome interjections are how you would express a mission from God. Please consider this. Gods love is always personal. He moves in relationships. What you are doing here is not personal or relational. You are actually not exemplifying a loving God by busting in uninvited and "correcting" people.
@@BrianLassek To say anyone has to wait for the content creator to make a video on the subject before anyone can ask a question about it is wrong. You are telling the servant of the Lord to ignore God.

I am excited to see what you're gonna do next, and am praying for your success.
Personally I'd like to mention that your work on False Friends (Faux Ami's) has been eye opening to the point that I am planning a Faux Ami related project this year, but In my language: Hebrew (that is the notable but not huge difference between modern spoken Hebrew and biblical Hebrew). I see a need on this issue, will send you an Email when I publish the first related work (btw, I'm not a scholar just into it).
Excellent!
Definitely don’t forget to contact me.
Dear Mark. I have appreciated our dialogues on here, as well as your work on the King James Bible readability issue. I love you as a brother in Christ, and am praying for the Lord to use you in ministry whether independently or in a full time position. May the Lord bless you in the new way you are going, and may he light that way clearly for you, in Jesus' name.
Signed, A King James Bible Believer.
Much appreciated, Captain!
Thank you for changing the fonts. As a graphic designer versed in typography the typeface that you used for the KJV was awful! Great news about this new channel, Mark! Hopefully the only-ists will no longer troll you. 📖✝️🇦🇺
I actually love Brokenscript! It's a modern take on an old Fraktur. But it's time for it to go away. How do you feel about Alegreya Sans Black?
Thank you for the kind word-and the prayer!
Well that escalated quickly...or something 😁
You should move from your high cost of living area to us in Texas.
What ever you choose I know that you will be great!
I would like to support you financially I am not able to. I don't have the finance.
I can't wait to see what God does in this new chapter. I am praying for you, Mark!
Udemy is a great platform for your content.
Mark - I think you mentioned being part of some documentary when you were in London. Can you share more details about that?
Not yet! All I can say is that it's on the history of the Bible and should release in late 2025 or early 2026 in theaters and on Amazon Prime! I'll say more when I'm allowed to!
Logos tips would be great.
I've been thinking you should write book about false friends in the KJV and write it with a mind to help those in the KJVO movement. Use a pseudonym and just write as though you are a KJVO author who is helping people understand the outdated words in the KJV. Write it to help people in the movement, not to correct and convert them. You're in my prayers brother. Have a blessed new year! 🙂
My next book really is similar to what you described. Just not anonymous.
@@wardonwords Yay! 😸
Hi, Mark! I was watching a video with Dr. Maurice Robinson, and he mentioned how there could be many more notes added to the NKJV Bible regarding translation comparisons. What are the chances that we will get a "full notes" edition of the NKJV in the same vein as the full notes NET Bible? I would be very happy to own such a Bible. Thank you for all of your hard work.
I don’t honestly know. I doubt it.
@@wardonwordsThank you for taking the time to respond. I am excited to see what the future holds for you.
How do I become a Patreon supporter for you? I am inexperienced with the platform. Also, how do I become a member of your channel? I know it’s possible to become a member of a RUclips channel, but I don’t know how.
Use the links in the video description, and if you have a problem, feel free to email!
I remember reading an Ian Paul blog on the uses of the greek words for 'love' in John.
Will your videos have a similar vibe?
I don't know: what was his perspective?
@@wardonwords
He basically says the different words for 'love' in John are used interchangeably.
"Are there different ‘loves’ in John 21?" is the blog title.
@@IamGrimalkin Yes, this is basically my perspective. I worked to deepen and extend the common arguments against the viewpoint that sees very different loves in the Greek words of the New Testament.
Hello Pr. Mark. Happy new year to you! Quick question, if you would still answer something related to Bible versions. One argument that KJV-onlyists use is that of the "two schools"--the one being Antioch, which, they say, produced the pure manuscripts, and the other being Alexandria, which produced corrupt manuscripts. I know you said you don't want to get caught up in the arguments over manuscripts, but I was wondering if you have any insights, or materials you can point me to, on this topic. In particular, I am curious if you have heard of B.G. Wilkinson's work "Truth Triumphant"? He teaches that Revelation and Daniel reveal that (Satan through) the Roman Catholic Papacy and God's "true church" have been in constant conflict, which has, among other ways, been manifested in the development and propagation of these two manuscript streams. Have you ever read this book? I remember you posted a link to your professor's (I think that's who it was) article on how the TR/Byz and CT are not that different (in any significant way). Would that be your response to all this? Do you perhaps have a video on this subject (that I possibly missed)?
Blessings to you! I am not in the position to support your wonderful work, but know that I am praying for you! Love the work you do!
I think the best place to start with this topic is this little book by an acquaintance of mine I know and trust: www.amazon.com/dp/1433564092?tag=3755-20
@@wardonwords Ok, I can't remember if you recommended this one to me last time, but thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it! I want to teach these things to my students this year in my doctrinal class.
Why can’t there be parity between Patreon and RUclips with Discord? I’m a little confused with that
(Also, this is not my real name)
Discord access is going to linked to RUclips memberships. If there's a way to link it to Patreon support, I would LOVE that. I'm new to this world, and I'm working to get all the details ironed out.
@@wardonwords I believe there is. I’m just not the person to ask about it
I'm considering becoming a member here in RUclips but I can't figure out where to join. I'm subscribed to your channel but i see no "join membership" button
I just figured out my own answer! I'm happy to give to your channel. I grew up Baptist and around KJVO a lot. Thankfully today it seems like it's more constrained to the older generation even in Baptist congregations. Though I have quite a few friends from many denominations and it has been in a few of them more than others. I have been refreshed by your demeanor in how you have disagreed with people and your love you show. Thank you for spreading truth gracefully.
Hi , I really want to know if you have New Cambridge Paragraph Bible with papers cream not white because I like cream papers to help me read prevent my strains eyes. Please help me, I has one that is white paper. I want margin wide and line up with dictionary all together.
I’m afraid I’m not aware of such a thing!
No kjv-onlyist stuff? Sounds boring. Lol- I’ll take it. “Controversy” is tiring.
Do you still receive support on patreon? Maybe I missed it if you said
Woops nevermind... just got to the patreon part 😂
Yup! Thank you! patreon.com/mlward
🙂
Happy New Year! I'll pray that you overcome the KJV Derangement Syndrome and stop being a false friend to the scriptures that one can hold in his hands per the scriptural definition of the word "scripture" in 2 Timothy 3:15-16.
Bust out your sWord and show me a hell doctrine.😇
Everyone is going to heaven, no exceptions.
This is Biblical.
Did I miss something? I don't think Mark addressed the doctrine of hell anywhere in the video. Please restrain yourself to relevant comments.
@@BrianLassek
I'm on a mission from God.
Your traditions have nullified the Word of God, and I'm here to correct that.
@Move_I_Got_This-b3v it is strange to me that you believe impersonal unwelcome interjections are how you would express a mission from God.
Please consider this. Gods love is always personal. He moves in relationships. What you are doing here is not personal or relational. You are actually not exemplifying a loving God by busting in uninvited and "correcting" people.
@@BrianLassek
To say anyone has to wait for the content creator to make a video on the subject before anyone can ask a question about it is wrong.
You are telling the servant of the Lord to ignore God.
please elaborate.
Or, check this out - get a job (or 2) and do RUclips on the side. Real men have worked much harder. 🤣
That is precisely what I’ve done for five years, my friend.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Let us know whenever the courses are available and how we can pay to sign up for these and support you x
You need an income, and there are so many of us who want to support you x
Thank you so much! My plan is to release courses to those at the $25 level and above at RUclips; I'm working now on how to make Patreon parity.
@@wardonwords for some reason I can not see how to sign up via RUclips, but I will get on the laptop tomorrow rather than my phone!
Thanks so much x
