That God will secure his chosen remnant to himself, how bad soever the times are (v. 7): Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. This intimates that, as long as the world stands, there will be a generation of proud and wicked men in it, more or less, who will threaten by their…
John Gill on Psalm 12:7
Ver. 7. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, &c.] Not the words before mentioned, as Aben Ezra explains it, for the affix is masculine and not feminine; not but God has wonderfully kept and preserved the sacred writings; and he keeps every word of promise which he has made; and the doctrines of the Gospel…
A.T. Robertson on 1 John 5:7
1 John 5:7 For there are three who bear witness (ὁτι τρεις εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυρουντες [hoti treis eisin hoi marturountes]). At this point the Latin Vulgate gives the words in the Textus Receptus, found in no Greek MS. save two late cursives (162 in the Vatican Library of the fifteenth century, 34 of the sixteenth…
B.H. Carroll on 1 John 5:7
To the integrity of this book, there is only one exception. The integrity of a book is established when it comes to us in the shape it was originally delivered, it has not lost anything out of it, and nothing has been added to it. Now, as to the integrity of this book, there is…
Albert Barnes Notes on 1 John 5:7
7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, &c. There are three that witness, or that bear witness—the same Greek word which, in ver. 8, is rendered bear witness—μαρτυροῦντες. There is no passage of the New Testament which has given rise to so much discussion in regard to its genuineness as this. The…
Adam Clarke on 1 John 5:7
Verse 7. There are three that bear record] The Father, who bears testimony to his Son; the Word or Λογος, Logos, who bears testimony to the Father; and the Holy Ghost, which bears testimony to the Father and the Son. And these three are one in essence, and agree in the one testimony, that Jesus…
My Journey From King James Onlyism
While the church I grew up in was never an “extreme King James Only Church,” as soon as I entered the ministry in the mid 1990s, I was presented with books by authors such as Gail Riplinger, David Otis Fuller, and others. I heard from some preachers that a “Good Baptist”is a “King James Baptist.”…
The KJV Translators To The Reader
The 1611 King James Bible was prefaced by two articles. One of them was “The Epistle Dedicatory” and the other was “The Translators to the Reader.” Sadly many KJV Bibles do not include either, and many who love and cherish the KJV have never read it. I am including “The Translators To The Reader” here,…
KJVO: A PNG Perspective
One of the major languages in Papua New Guinea is Melanesian Pidgin, and although there is a movement in portions of the country for people to learn English this is not always the case…especially in the Highlands area and wasn’t always that way in the early days of missionary work. When I was a teenager,…
KJVO – Not A Baptist Distinctive
There is no evidence that King James Onlyism as popularized by Peter Ruckman was a main view among the Baptists. I am trying to find a quote somewhere that would indicate they might have even been mild KJV Onlyists, but I cannot find it. I have looked in Baptist history books and other Baptist material….
