The Bible They Cannot Know, Part 2: The Lost Autograph Cannot Rule the Church

Three Translation Supremacies, One Inversion
Latin-over-originals, English-over-originals, and Greek-translation-over-Hebrew differ greatly in history and evidence. They become the same formal error when a dependent version is made judge of its source.

Why God Committed His Word
God spoke before Scripture was complete. He addressed Adam, covenanted with Noah and Abraham, appeared to the patriarchs, and made his will known through dreams, visions, angels, prophets, mighty acts, and his own voice from heaven. The church therefore did not begin…
