Maurice Robinson vs. KJV-Onlyism

• Is Dr. Robinson KJV-Only?
• Are the Majority Text, the Byzantine Text, and the Textus Receptus the same thing?
• Is Acts 8:37 part of the majority?
• Does the KJV stick with 99% of the manuscripts?
• Is it theologically possible for a one-time majority reading in the NT to be lost?
• Is it acceptable to make conjectural emendations in the text of the GNT?
• Does Matt 5:18 promise perfect textual preservation of the GNT?
• Does Dr. Robinson hold a textual absolutist view?
• Why does he call his viewpoint "Byzantine" and no longer "Majority"?
• Why didn't the Lord give us a perfect text and tell us which one it is?
• If Dean Burgon edited a text of the GNT, would it look more like Scrivener or the Byzantine text?

Getting Maurice Robinson on here for KJV Onlyism is HUGE! Robinson puts to rest so many of the arguments from the KJV Only crowd. This video needs to be widely circulated. 😊

[inderjitdhillon]

I would love to listen to Dr. Maurice for hours. He is so clear in his thoughts and his voice is mild yet enthusiastic and loving. Wish I could study under him in person.

Anyways thanks Dr. Ward for this.

[tomoberg]

Mark, thank you for this discussion. I appreciate how men with distinct preferences and textual philosophies can get along and bolster one another without rancour. Your work is valuable! May the Lord continue to bless and use you in service to the church.

[EricCouture]

That was one of the best videos. I needed this. Thank you so much for doing this.

[OsadebaNduka]

Thank you for this interview Dr Mark Ward. This clears up a lot of arguments.

[PhotographyByDerek]

Thank you for continuing this very important series.

[edwardgraham]

Fantastic discussion and I'm really glad you found a way to slip this this season. Dr. Robinson is such a humble man and really knowledgeable. Thank Dr. Ward for doing this interview and sharing it with us. Keep up the good work.

[ojntk]

This is excellent! Where I went to college, "TR" and "Majority Text" were treated as synonymous terms. I wish I would've known this information back then!

[RandomTChance]

I ran across a young man whom the Lord told me to sit with. He was talking to some ladies and I asked are you a KJV only fellow?
He responded yes and we started talking. The ladies were shocked that I knew all the twists he would take. KJV is the oldest Bible, he said, and I responded, what about the Geneva Bible? He literally started having a fit and I had to calm him down. He then stated you could lose your salvation and I realized he had deeper issues.
I took him to Romans 10 13 and Acts 2 21 and walked him through the promise that Jesus would never leave him, ever.
Pray for this man if you would, please. 🙏

[tonylominac]

Great interview. Very informative. I could listen to this for hours.

[No_auto_toon]

Can we get at least one major English translation revised to match the majority text?

[laescrituranopuedeserquebr]

I really enjoyed this video, and it's always a privilege to learn with Dr. Robinson. Thanks for encouraging the Byzantine text and may God bless you. From Barcelona.

[michaelblythe]

What an excellent interview! Thanks for this!!

[richardvoogd]

Thank you for this video.

The comments on arguing from silence reminded me of a discussion i was having with someone a year or so back. I can't recall the exact context, but I found myself saying that I like starting with what's on the page.

[dandavis]

For the “average” Bible reader this discussion is deeper than most are able to comprehend!

[rodneyjackson]

Love and respect Dr. Robinson! The World English Bible uses the RP Byzantine Text and is public domain.

[ApologeticsPeter]

26:30 Similarly, in the Synoptics there are differences and we can’t say with absolute certainty if the voice said ‘you are’ or ‘this is’ my beloved son. (Matthew 3:17, Mark 1:11) And since we know the original reading at this point we can see that God has not chosen to give us a dogmatic way of saying this is exactly how it was. And by saying you don’t know the exact reading at one point, that is not saying the reading could be absolutely anything. It is either reading A or reading B. This is how anybody with a view of preservation before the printing press would have viewed the manuscript tradition

[BrendaBoykin-qzdj]

Great series✨ Great teamwork. Thank you, Mark.✨🌞✨🌹⭐🌹

[eclipsesonic]

Hey, Mark. This was a great interview. I really enjoyed it. Since you said that you prefer the critical text over the TR, I'm wondering if you would do an in-depth video explaining why you hold to that position? That would be valuable and informative for us to know why.

[marksutton]

I just love Robinson's dispassionate and utterly clear explanation why he prefers Byzantine text.
