Is Come or Has Come in 1 John 4:2
It’s probably a sin, but I simply couldn’t resist. I recorded a video response to a YouTube KJV Only video.

Yesterday I blogged about the HCSB of Acts 17:26, and in particular the portion that reads something like “made of one ______”. The KJV reads “blood” which is one of the textual variants, while the HCSB says “man” which apparently does not occur in any of the ancient manuscripts. Since I read these lectionary texts…
OK, I just can’t resist taking a poke at the KJV-Only movement every so often. This time I did it on video. Stand by for more!
Well, confession is good for the soul. It’s time I own up to all that deep seated, seething hatred for the KJV. And thus, my first effort on YouTube, crossed with video blogging: See! That was easy!
Someone signing as Morgan Sorensen just left a comment on my old post (11/28/2006), and I want to promote it to its own post, because it demonstrates the core errors of the KJV-Only position in a very small space.

[italics in original] Note that the italicized “men” is an indication from the KJV translators that this was an addition of a word not reflected in the Greek. But the adjective here,…
There’s a propaganda piece that has been showing up in Florida, possibly as part of the fight against evolution in new proposed educational standards. It comes from a site with which I’m fairly well acquainted–Chick Publications. One sickening piece of propaganda from that organization is titled Apes, Lies, and Ms. Henn. It is obvious that…
Dan Wallace has started a series (actually he did so last week), on textual variants in the New Testament. His first article The Number of Textual Variants: An Evangelical Miscalculation deals with the definition of a textual variant and then with an estimate of the total number of textual variants in the New Testament text….
