Many conservatives who embraced the NIV had nowhere else to go but the ESV. I agree with your comments pastor. I pray that others would reason through the eyes of faith. I am reading E.F. Hills book "The King James Version Defended." It is an excellent testimony of evidence and faith in the Traditional text.Phil Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752045605704569789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-53787463826388261242013-08-21T07:32:05.355-04:002013-08-21T07:32:05.355-04:00Josh,

I hope you don't mind, but I sent an email to the Gideons with a link to your article on the ESV. I greatly appreciate your writings on the issue of textual criticism--they have been most helpful! <br /><br />Lord willing, we'll see each other at the Keach Conference next month. Looking forward to it!<br /><br />In Christ,<br /><br />-JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
