The King James Only Controversy

From Textus Receptus

The King James Only Controversy is a book written by James White in an attempt to smear all King James Version and Textus Receptus supporters as weird, kooky, and generally illiterate.

Errors

James White in his book, The King James Only Controversy, on page 270 he incorrectly says of the first rule: “His rule only applies to persons, not things.” but in Durham’s book, on page 22, he clearly states under the section, “Sharp’s first rule regularly applied to things”:

Thirty-three verses were found in which Sharp’s rule was applied to things rather than persons. These verses were subdivided according to five categories: (1) Entities, (2) Characteristics, (3) Activities, (4) Locations, and (5) Times.

To give a few brief examples from the book:

(1) Acts 1:25 “this ministry and apostleship”; Acts 2:23 “the predetermined plan and foreknowledge”.

(2) Mark 8:38 “this adulterous and sinful generation”; Mark 16:14 “their unbelief and hardness of heart”.

(3) Hebrews 6:7 “that drinks…and brings forth”.

(4) Matthew 23:37 “who kills…and stones”.

(5) Matthew 24:36 “that day and hour”; Acts 2:20 “the great and glorious day”.
