Making Sense of Manuscripts | James White

52:40 the video does an unexpected, unannounced loop back to around 15 minutes earlier, just so you know. The course of the lecture picks back up at 1:05:08. Would love to see the entire, unadulterated lecture.

Yeah I love Dr White’s talks on the Bible, he’s the person who brought me out of KJV-onlyism. I prefer the NKJV because it has the other manuscript traditions alternate readings on the footnotes. It’s like having a Majority text Bible, Critical text Bible, and TR all in one. It’s the best lol.

Jesus I love you and have trust and confidence in you. I have faith in Jesus . I will never stop trusting in him, even though I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator, and paying bills. Like so many others, I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband died years ago. I’m all alone. I’m a single mother with two beautiful children both of my sons are autistic. So I’m overwhelmed at times because they require so much more from me. Sometimes I want to give up. But God keeps me going. Every month is a struggle, to not end up on the streets with my little boys. BUT I have faith God will provide. He HAS so FAR. With God all things are possible.

I would really appreciate Dr. James White discussing the Lutheran perspective on the Lord's Supper. Every rebuttal of literal eating is on Catholic transubstantiation and repropitiation, which I reject. Yet, there hasn't been any address to the patristic sources used by Lutherans, such as Ignatius and Justin Martyr, that still claim literal eating.

[@velociray]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/al7cdXSsqJ6ArMk Paul gets it right, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes." Think about that, any time you break bread or drink wine, it's a proclamation of Christ's atoning work. Eat a sandwich, remember God, go out to fancy dinner and order expensive wine, proclaim Jesus. Or, argue how it works, your choice, 😆

OK, this may or may not get an answer from Dr. White.... but in his discussions on manuscripts... I can accept and do the fact and idea of older may be better and more right! However in making Bibles, WHY are we tied to the Greek New Testament that was created by Wescott & Hort? I can accept a Bible that uses "older" manuscripts, bun NOT any that use that Greek New Testament.... In all that I know, at age 81, is that THEIR WORK is not a TRUE or RIGHT work!! WHY did? WHY do? theologians since then put so much faith into THEIR WORK, and over the number of Greek manuscripts that we NOW HAVE!! A BIBLE that does NOT have their GREEK in it would BE a better, more right, and perhaps a more true Bible!!

[@DAYHOMEONE]

Hebrews is Paul's theology? Paul was a minster to the Gentiles. Hebrews is written to the Circumcision. There are no less than 6 Old Testament quotes before you get out of the first chapter. "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, HEB6:05 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, HEB6:06 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." THAT is not the gospel of Grace. It is a Jewish message to Jews in the last days.

[@Berean_with_a_BTh]

The theology may echo Paul in some respects, but Hebrews introduces multiple ideas not found in Paul (e.g. Christ's priesthood) and is written in an entirely different 'Alexandrian' style from any of Paul's epistles. The author's self description also makes Pauline authorship unlikely. IMHO, Apollos (a native of Alexandria) is the most likely NT saint known to us to have been the author.
