Hi Folks,

Harry Ironside was one of a number of evangelists of the day who simply trusted the new scholarship. Naive, duped. David Cloud writes a page where these weaknesses are discussed.

OLD-TIME FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO DEFENDED THE KING JAMES BIBLE


Harry Ironside's section on the Johannine Comma shows that he was not only on the wrong side of the issues, he did not even have the most basic facts.

The Epistles of John and Jude: An Ironside Expository Commentary (p. 117)

"thousands of manuscripts have come to light from as far back as the end of the second and the beginning of the third century, and in none of them are these words found"


This shows how effective was the Revision snow job on some for a season, it also demonstrates how Christians need to be dedicated to knowing the truth of the word of God.

Shalom,
Steven
