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.

Corrected, Then Repeated: An Ordained Minister’s Duty to Repent Publicly
Steele was publicly told in 2025 that the men he described did not regard the KJV as inerrant. In 2026 he sharpened the accusation without engaging TBS’s formal original-language standard. The Ninth Commandment now requires a public correction.
