@MikeWingerii I'll add that Brandon Peterson, the guy behind the most recent wave of KJV-Only numerology, is a genuinely nice guy and, I think, a true Christian. But our discussions faltered when I tried to get him to use the Greek as the standard. To him, the standard is the KJV. God made it.

@MikeWingerii I have engaged in good faith with the claims of the mainstream KJV-Only movement, but the numerology stuff is beyond my pale (and theirs). I chose to use satire, as I rarely do, to openly mock it. It is literally ridiculous. https://t.co/Cqy4nZCGrc

@pjgurry @itsee_bham This was a monstrous amount of work. Peter is a machine! I'm honored to count him a friend.

@mitchellchase Thank you for the kind word, Mitch. I've still got a half-written (positive!) review of your book, The Way of the Wise. You made one really excellent point that I've been thinking about since I read it.

@JoshuaTrolly I think the Flesch-Kincaid analysis probably *would* be helpful in this circumstance. As long as you recognize that it's a very rough and ready measure. But, honestly, I'd set AI on this task.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@JoshuaTrolly Tell me more about your goals, and about the texts you're evaluating.

@stutefc Right—because the principle that guided us was what the KJV translators would have done if they held the NA28 in their hands. If a given KJV rendering already agrees with the NA28 against the TR, we assume they would not have changed anything!

@davis_j_ross And it's short. ;)

Thank you for the kind words, brother.

@SCarey8958 @WesleyLHuff Good question! What's the precise verse you're looking at? Or are you looking at the headings in the Bibles (which were written by editors, of course, not the Holy Spirit!)?

@matt_everhard @YourCalvinist @gavinortlund @redeemed_zoomer @MikeWingerii @stephen_hackett @TexasPreacher Thank you, @matt_everhard. I'm truly honored to be on your list!

@travis_hilton Happy to answer any questions!

Do KJV-Only pastors understand the archaic words of the KJV?

My team asked them.

A huge project, finally brought to completion—with two big videos, shot at the Museum of the Bible, dropping the same day: https://t.co/YMyrobezR9.

@KirkMiller_ @Logos I found it interesting that the RSV seems to go with the TR—though perhaps they get there through a means similar to the 2025 ESV?

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@GabbyRios119848 @SpeakTruth07 Should it not concern me, my friend, that many of these people are not understanding what they're reading as well as they think they are—when I can do something about it? I was one of those people. I didn't know what I didn't know.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@NSReicher @TurretinFan I don't feel attached to their subscription model; I was on my way out as it was on its way in. (I was ready for a new challenge.) But the basics will remain: tons of people use and love Logos and will want to keep building their libraries. I don't see that changing.

[Mark Ward @mlward]

@NSReicher @TurretinFan I have many friends still at Logos; I just had dinner with a manager two nights ago. I truly don't believe we're losing Logos in 18 mos. There are a ton of sharp people there, and there is a large, abiding market for their main product. I have confidence in Logos.
