There are several places where extra verses are placed in the footnotes, e.g., Matthew 12:47, and others like Mark 16 where the extra verses are bracketed out but in the main text.

ESV Interview : breadth of acceptance #2
June 17, 2005 By

ESV Interview: Is translation effected by doctrine?
June 15, 2005 By
It is of note that the group of scholars who wrote the ESV include some great giants of evangelicalism. I wonder how important to the accurate translation of the Bible is an evangelical faith. How much does the doctrine one believes in influence the act of translation and the philosophy which lies behind it? Watch Paul House respond (Windows Media). We're often asked how our evangelical convictions affect our translation principles. I would answer in the following way. Just for myself, I can say … [Read more...]

PyroManiac's Warnie acceptance speach
June 5, 2005 By
Phil of PyroManiac was very kind in his acceptance speach: Dr. Adrian Warnock has the largest and most-read Christian blog in the UK. I first met him in cyberspace in April 1996, when The Spurgeon Archive was less than a year old. He helped index all of my sermons for the World Wide Study Bible project. I haven't kept up very well with him or the World Wide Bible, but I have read his blog from time to time over the past year or so, so I knew he was still active in cyberspace and ran an … [Read more...]
PyroManiac romps off with the next Warnie award
June 4, 2005 By
PyroManiac the blog of Phillip Johnson is causing such a stir in the blogosphere. I called Phil a hero of the internet largely because of his work on spurgeon.org, but now I am convinced he is heading for blogging greatness. The Warnie award is supposed to in part be a prediction that the blog in question, whilst not currently that prominent is heading that way. If I can give others a leg up the way guys like Josh Clayborn did for me then I will be a happy man. Phil is sure to find success … [Read more...]
Can you loose your salvation? What does Heb 6 REALLY say
June 1, 2005 By
David of jollyblogger is preaching on Hebrews 6, the famous passage that is so controversial in the debate about eternal security. You simply have to go over and read his well thought out blog post on the matter. Just to whet your appetite..........the typical reformed exegesis which effectively neuters the passage's intended effect as a warning. What I mean is that reformed exegetes and others who believe in eternal security spend so much time jumping through hoops to prove what it doesn't … [Read more...]
Calling all Arminian Prayers
May 30, 2005 By
One of the great things about the blogosphere is that you can to use David Wayne's phrase "call out" people. Well, right now I call out all my Arminian readers out there and ask them to respond to this quote from Spurgeon. In his sermon NO. 52 "FREE-WILL A SLAVE" he claimed that the following was one of the strongest arguments for the veracity of Calvinism. I would love to hear the response of an honest Arminian to this rather interesting quote. Does it really settle the issue once and for … [Read more...]
