My point in commenting here, though, is to note how George, because he is a Ruckmanite (as well as someone who denies the Trinity and thus an idolator), tries to throw doubt on the Greek text written by the Apostles under inspiration and perfectly preserved according to God's promise. Like critical text advocates, Ruckmanism denies the preservation of Scripture. Christ said that the very Greek Words He spoke would never pass away (Mt 24:35), but George wants to say that those Greek Words did pass away so that he can get his Ruckmanite version of the KJV in the place of the actual Words Christ said.KJB1611https://www.blogger.com/profile/09696273086955004524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-85782231010440537852015-07-25T07:15:59.522-07:002015-07-25T07:15:59.522-07:00"White attacks the idea of a received text, c..."White attacks the idea of a received text, coming to the church by the providence of God. He asks if the very recent finds of the papyri are not the providence of God. That, of course, isn't the point. He either doesn't get the point or he's acting like he doesn't get it."<br /><br />Provide the "providential manuscripts" that contain 1 John 5:7-8 that is found in the Holy Bible. We know it is found in Erasmus Greek text of 1516 and an earlier translation in Latin in the 13th century.<br /><br />So, what Greek text is providential based on the Byzantine text that has that verse prior to 1516 and any Greek text prior to the 14 century? The only place this reading is found is:<br /><br />- a sixteenth century minuscule text <br />- a fourteenth century minuscule text <br />- the reading appears in the margin of this twelfth century text <br />- the reading appears in the margin of this 14-15 century text <br />- a fifteenth century minuscule text <br />- a sixteenth century minuscule text <br />- the reading appears in the margin of this tenth century text<br /> The Preacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555338497068482867noreply@blogger.com
