“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, which the Lord God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God indeed said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? “And the woman said unto the serpent, We eat of the fruit of the trees of […]

Chapter 9:16-22 “16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For […]

In recent decades, the 1960s and 1970s, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) struggled with a faction that wanted to deny the inerrancy of Scripture. Fortunately, those leaders who held to that position of the Scriptures overcame that attack. High-level academia seems to lean toward a rejection of the absolute truth of God’s sovereignty. Proverbs 3:5 […]

Continuing Study in Hebrews 6:13-20 “19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Last week we explored the security […]

Most historians believe the Hebrew Pentateuch was translated into the Greek language in approximately 250 BC, and thus, the Septuagint or LXX was born.

THE CASE FOR THE MASORETIC TEXT The Masoretic text (MT) is the basis for most English translations of the Old Testament today and is regarded as the best-preserved text of the Hebrew Bible.
