Regarding the TR as a confessional text...yeoberry,<br /><br />Regarding the TR as a confessional text, have you taken a look at the prooftexts listed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Second London Baptist Confession (1689)? Which text do they use? Look, for example, at chapter 2 on the Doctrine of God and notice the appeal to 1 John 5:7 (the Johannine Comma)? Take a look also at 1:8 of both confessions. What does this say about their view of Scripture? Is it the modern, reconstructionist view or is it something else (a preservationist view)?<br /><br />Read the two articles on Scripture in volume 16 of John Owen's Collected Works. Take a look at William Whitaker's "Disputations on Holy Scripture." Then, move on to some modern works. Begin with volume 2 of Richard A. Muller's "Post Reformation Reformed Dogmatics." Then, take up Garnet Howard Milne's recent "Has the Bible Been Kept Pure." You might be surprised by what you find, especially if your previous exposure has only been to Calvinistic evangelical modern critical text proponents like D. A. Carson and James White, etc.<br /><br />All the best, JTRJeffrey T.

I respectfully disagree.<br /><br />"Grow up." I'm trying, with God's help. I used to hold to the critical text, but part of my growth has been moving to the confessional text.<br /><br />Has embracing the critical text aided you in your sanctification, in demonstrating the fruit of the spirit?<br /><br />If you're in the Danville area, you're not that far away. Be glad to get together and discuss with you in person sometime.<br /><br />Blessings, JTR <br /><br />Jeffrey T.

There is not one major Protestant confession that mandates the use of the TR. It's purely a matter of tradition, not confession. Sola Scriptura, however, is a matter of confession. Hence, to continue to use it the TR is to choose tradition over Protestant confessions and the Word of God.yeoberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709454036342141697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-23470990457632312432019-01-07T12:17:13.753-05:002019-01-07T12:17:13.753-05:00Defending the continued use of a 400+ year-old Ang...Defending the continued use of a 400+ year-old Anglican translation based on later, corrupted manuscripts (i.e. the "TR"), is absurd.
