James White refuses to even look at refutation

So after being told by James White that I was basically wasting my time with an Urdu Bible version, and labeled as someone to stay away from for pointing out that the 1549 Ethiopic has Beza's reading,  I wrote an 80 page response here.

So I went up to see Mr White last night in Brisbane and asked him to take the printed form of the text,  and he refused it saying that they would not allow it on the flight! But only moments before he was holding up a football Jersey that he was taking with him. Hmm. He looked at me like he had trod in dog poo.  I am guessing he hopes this issue will be easy to ignore. 

Revelation 16:5 and the Triadic Declaration

In the past 6 weeks I have been examining the evidence for the reading of "shalt be" in the KJV in Revelation 16:5. Although rushed, I have compiled about 80 pages of evidence in an article on this issue that I believe is irrefutable. Below is the PDF of the article "Revelation 16:5 and the Triadic Declaration - A defense of the reading of “shalt be” in the Authorized Version."

Again, I challenge James White to a debate on the topic. I know he is in Australia in the next few weeks, perhaps in Brisbane a debate could be arranged.

James White and the Dividing Line

I am aware that James White from Alpha and Omega ministries has mentioned this blog and the contents of it on his Dividing Line program. (see the YouTube clip here at about the 24 minute mark.)

I expected White to be vitriolic and mocking. I have encountered White before in his forum a few years back when I politely asked him if I could present a view about Easter that he may not have seen before. He said it was fine for me to do so. After I posted some material concerning Easter (see my website here), he asked me some questions about my position, as did others in the chat group. As I was answering them, White became very annoyed and irrational and then called me a Ruckmanite (as I mention in my latest Easter Video here) and banned me from his forum. So to see White mock those who translate the Textus Receptus / Reformation Text and scorn at the evidence revealing that "shalt be" is indeed in bibles older than Beza's, was not a shock. In stark contrast concerning Easter, world leading expert on the English language David Crystal read the first article and said it was correct and gave some pointers on it. 

Anyway, I thought I would put all of my information about Revelation 16:5 into a large study/small book which should be finished within a month, and I guarantee that White and many others who reject the reading of "shalt be" will have their boat rocked, perhaps even tipped over.

I also challenge White to a debate on the issue, Either here in Pakistan or in Australia. I also challenge him to a debate concerning Easter and the claims that it is a mistranslation in the King James Version. White and his team claim it is mistranslated here.

Stay tuned for my study on Revelation 16:5...

King James Version 2016 Edition New Testament

The King James Version 2016 Edition New Testament has been an ongoing project for about ten years now.

To examine verses with earlier KJV editions you can go to the 

textusreceptusbibles.com website. In the preface I wrote:

The Translators of the King James Version 2016 believe that the King James Version of 1611-1900 is an accurate translation of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and is thus by default, the words of God in English. Unfortunately for the KJV, the English language is constantly developing and many word meanings today vastly differ from the English of the reformation era. Many people have preferred a more readable substitute, oftentimes at the expense of quality. This version should not be recognised as a translational attempt to improve on the work of the original 1611 translators, but rather classified as a reluctant update to make more understandable the archaic and obsolete words and grammar; so that today’s reader can understand and enjoy the word of God clearly and accurately in the English tongue, just as our forefathers once did. We believe the KJV is the most superior of all English versions based upon the Textus Receptus and Masoretic Text, and vastly advanced in comparison to corrupted versions based upon Westcott & Hort/Nestle-Aland/UBS, or Majority type texts. We believe the New King James Version, Modern English Version, and other MT/TR bibles contain a mixture of good and bad readings. This version has been designed especially to address those concerns. Unlike most other modern versions, this text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611. We have endeavored to keep the words as close to the 1611 as possible, but with corresponding modern words and grammar. Many hours have gone into this version in an attempt to achieve the greatest possible accuracy. If you feel in any way this version has compromised the original meaning of the text of the 1611-1900 KJV, please feel free to contact us, and we will seriously and prayerfully acknowledge any concerns. 

The primary translator of this work is Nick Sayers of Byron Bay Australia.

Apologies to those trying to access the textus-receptus.com website. The server is full and thus showing an error, so I am just negotiating an upgrade, it may be down for a few days. We are seeing about 150,000 visitors a month which is great.

Also for clarification,  it must be noted that the blog here is called textusreceptusbibles but it has no affiliation to the excellent website ~ www.textusreceptusbibles.com. It was just coincidental that I ran my Easter videos on YouTube on this address as another brother bought his domains.

So textusreceptusbibles.com is not mine, although it does contain the King James Version 2016 Edition both in the main page, and with a separate page exclusively for the KJV 2016.

The main site is here which includes many based TR bibles and the TR editions of 1550 and 1880-94.

The other sub domain with the KJV 2016 is here which also can be examined against the 1900 PCE KJV.
