Defending Hebrews 8:9 and Jeremiah 31:32 - Addressing Rabbi Tovia Singer
<p>Have you ever compared Jeremiah 31:32 and Hebrews 8:9? You should. You should also know how to deal with these two verses. It’s not a minor thing. In fact, I have heard pastors and teachers say that this issue is often too controversial to even bring up to their people for fear that people cannot […]</p>

Does the NIV Reduce Scripture to Myth? Responding to Jack McElroy
<p>Last week, I posted this graphic and asked a simple question: “Is there a KJVO who will defend this graphic by Jack McElroy using Biblical Hebrew and in light of the other creatures that are described in Job? It is arguments like this graphic that helped me see that KJVO is an emperor that has […]</p>

How To Deal With Negative Criticism and Slander In The Ministry
<p>Today, I want to talk about dealing with negative criticism, slander, and personal attacks as a believer. This is not an issue that is limited to people in ministry or controversial pot-stirring pastors on YouTube and social media. Many of us deal with attacks from outside and even inside our own camps. Let’s talk about […]</p>

The KJV Only IFB Have a Massive Problem With Inconsistency
<p>There is a Massive Inconsistency Problem among KJV Only Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB). The IFB often prides itself on being separatists. They are separatists to the point that nothing is adiaphora. There don’t seem to be any secondary issues. There are no doctrines or issues where there isn’t a hard line of separation. In the […]</p>

Saved or Being Saved? Responding to KJVO arguments on 1 Corinthians 1:18
<p>Note: I am fully aware that I used different pronunciations for σῳζομένοις a few times. I’m a Southerner. I barely speak English well. You should hear me speaking French 🙂 As with last week, I am going to spend the next couple of weeks addressing some attacks by King James Version Onlyists who have decided […]</p>

Are We Made in the Image of God? How Andrew Sluder’s Ruckmanite KJV Onlyism Fuels Bad Theology
<p>Two Sundays ago, I preached on the Importance of a Pro-Life Ethic as part of my Why Theology Matters series that I have been doing at Sophia since the start of 2025. No sooner did I preach this message that someone sent me Andrew Sluder’s message on Predestination from March 6 of this year. I’ll […]</p>

What is the את Cepher Translation and Why You Should Avoid It
<p>Have you ever heard of the “את Cepher”? If not, then let me be the first to introduce you to what I consider a massive mess masquerading as a Bible — even though the publishers nonsensically don’t call it a Bible. I’ll tell you why a little later. Before we get started, I want to […]</p>

What About the 3,000 Differences Between Sinaiticus and Vaticanus in the Gospels? Alone?
<p>There are roughly 3,036 textual differences between Sinaiticus and Vaticanus in the Gospels:Matthew: 656Mark: 597Luke: 791John: 1022 70-80% of these differences are due to the presence or absence of the movable nu.

The ESV’s Use of “dot” in Matthew 5:18 Is a Faithful Translation
<p>A KJVO pastor emailed me and asked me the following: Is Matthew 5:18 in the ESV true? ‘…not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law…’ – I ask this because it’s my understanding that punctuation (dots) where not around at the time of this statement. (Be consitent bro with your ideal about […]</p>

Exposing IFB Preachers Who Teach Multiple Gospels Hyper-Dispensationalism
<p>In my last video, I began by saying that hyper dispensationalism is a false teaching that simply will not die. For a group who focuses heavily on 2 Timothy 2:15 and rightly dividing the word of truth, they just cannot do it. Rather, they have botched the text in such a way so as to […]</p>

Did Jesus Preach Salvation by Works? Refuting Multiple Gospels Hyper-Dispensationalism
<p>This is a false teaching that simply will not die. This seems, by and large, to be a product of Dispensationalism. Now, this is absolutely not the teaching of all Dispensationalists and I wish to be very clear in stating that those who hold to the idea that Jesus preached a different gospel than Paul, […]</p>

Is King James Version Onlyism Sin?
<p>Those that follow my channel know that I didn’t put out a video last week. Nathan told me several times over the last week, but I held back on purpose. I wanted plenty of time to pray about this one before I put it out. I’m glad I did. While I was praying about this […]</p>

Evidence of the Septuagint (LXX) in the Early Church Before Origen – Part 3
<p>Over the past few weeks, I have published multiple videos on the Septuagint. My first video, “Is The Septuagint a 4th Century Forgery or Myth?” was my first public work on Old Testament textual analysis. Last week, I continued that video with a follow-up.

Is the Septuagint a Re-Engineered Text – LXX Discussion Part 2
<p>A dear brother and friend asked me about the responses I have been getting to my video on the Septuagint. The crux of his question is this: “While they are forced to admit that there was a Greek translation of the Old Testament available before Christ, the pushback is the LXX we have now is […]</p>

Is The Septuagint (LXX) a 4th Century Forgery or Myth?
<p>If you like history, you will love this video. If you don’t like history, watch it anyway. You may learn something. I was talking with a King James Onlyist over the weekend who stated that the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, is a post-Christian 4th Century forgery. The actual comment said, “Maybe because the Septuagint […]</p>

How Do We Know We Actually Have the Words of Jesus?

He asked, “How do we know that Jesus said the things the gospels say he did?” What an excellent question! I am happy to answer it. […]</p>

Are Alexandrian Manuscripts Corrupt? Answering the Alexandrian vs Antioch Two Schools Argument
<p>Many KJVO will tell you to consider the source. Have you ever heard this argument? Modern Bibles are based on manuscripts originating from Alexandria Egypt and are therefore bad while manuscripts originating from Antioch, Syria are good. This video addresses the genetic fallacy of this argument.
