Centuri0n on Kurschner – Some Comments
Brother Centuri0n has posted a brief article (link) commending Kurschner’s eight reasons (link), which the present author had previously addressed (link).

Question for Kurschner Regarding
“If You Understand One Thing About The “King James Only” Phenomenon it is Imperative to Know This … The textual end justifies the textual means.

Calvin on 1 John 5:7-8 (The Comma)
In keeping with my series on the historical view of the Johannine Comma, here are the thoughts of John Calvin on the subject, even though Calvin is neither particularly favorable to the position that I favor, nor particularly dogmatic.
