Antioch or Alexandria How did God preserve His Bible?
I have previously established that God has preserved His Word, listing many Scriptures affirming this. But exactly which Bible is the perfect Word of God? If God preserved His Word, then it must be around here somewhere. In order to find the perfect Bible, it is necessary to determine which manuscript text-type is the preserved […]
“But it’s in there somewhere else!” Every instance of every doctrine in the Bible is important to God.
Many will tell me, upon showing them errors and omissions in their new Bible versions, something like the following: “So what if this new Bible leaves it out here or changes it or says ‘This verse isn’t found in the oldest and best manuscripts’! This doctrine is still gotta be in there, somewhere!!!” I […]
The NIV gave me indigestion! A true story.
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt 4:4 This is a true story that really happened to me. This past summer (2003) I was working at the Vacation Bible School at my church. One day, I forgot […]

The Unholy Inquisition Courtesy of the Roman Catholic Church
On May 21, 1559, several Protestants were caught by the Holy Inquisition worshipping in a home. This was considered an offence punishable by death. One of the `heretics’ captured was Dona Isabella, who was a countess and a cousin to King Philip II. The Inquisition tribunal tried to make her recant her faith, but she […]
Are the “Oldest” Manuscripts really the Best? Are Sinaiticus and Vaticanus really the "oldest and best" manuscripts?
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Romans 1:22 Introduction Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are considered by most Bible scholars to be the oldest New Testament manuscripts available. They date back to the 4th century. Since they are considered to be the oldest manuscripts known, many scholars automatically consider them to be the best […]
Scripture Memorization Helps Overcome Sin
