The Language and Readability of the King James Bible

My fourth message from the 2011 Great Lakes Grace Bible Conference was on The Language and Readability of the King James Bible. In this study we cover new ground regarding the history of the English Language as well as the cultural and linguistic setting in which the King James translators came of age. Learn how the English Language itself was crowing achievement of the English Renaissance. Discover how the King James Bible is the pinnacle of written English prose. Study with us as we consider how the loss of a common English Bible has negatively impacted the Body of Christ. You will not want to miss this important message. Note: There is a lot of detailed information contained in the notes that I was only able to summarize in the message. You may want to consider looking at them.

The Product of Preservation

My third message at the 2011 Great Lakes Grace Bible Conference was on the Product of Preservation. In this study we define textual criticism and explain the difference between the critical text and the preserved text. In addition, we offer a Scriptural critique of the Westcott and Hort theory of textual criticism in order to demonstrate that it is not in line with the viewpoint of faith. Moreover, we demonstrate by comparing key texts in both the KJB and modern translations that there are fundamentally only two different Bible and that the differences are serious. Lastly, we briefly consider the modern viewpoint on subject of inerrancy and demonstrate who the King James Bible is God's Word for English speaking people.

The People and Process of Preservation

My second message at the 2011 Great Lakes Grace Bible Conference was on the process and people of preservation. Study with as we consider how God's promise to preserve his word was executed. In addition, learn about the men to whom the process was entrusted. The view point of faith demands that we believe what the Bible teaches about itself. Learn why the original manuscripts are not the issue with God.

What is Truth?

At the 2011 Great Lakes Grace Bible Conference I preached on the topic of What is Truth? This was a fitting message to begin a conference on the 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible. Most in our day view truth as totally relative to the individual and not absolute. Please watch the following message where we deal with inadequate views of truth and offer a defense for the absolute nature of truth. In addition we address the question of whether or not supports of the KJB engage in circular reasoning when stating our position. Please note there is singing for the first couple minutes of this video.
