They came back to a position of preservation that conformed bibliology to naturalistic presuppositions. Listening to testimonies of the collective, at least two of the men said they gave up on the doctrine of preservation. Presuppositions don’t wait for an outcome. The collective corrupts the meaning of general revelation to provide a supernatural presupposition. It wouldn’t narrow to a caste of experts operating on degrees of probability or speculation. If modern textual criticism functions according to general revelation, everyone should see it. By labeling God’s revelation, human discovery, they contradict its root meaning. General revelation by its very nature is non-discoverable. However, general revelation is general in its audience. In their definition, they say that revelation is general in is content, justifying the terminology. They elevate laboratory observations, clinical samples, to the level of revelation. These men called modern textual criticism, “general revelation.” Contemporary Christian psychology similarly says it relies on general revelation, equating it to human discovery. With an apparent desire for a supernatural presupposition for modern textual criticism, the collective used a basis I have never heard. I’ll come back Wednesday to write about the four passages they hit. They attacked the preservation teaching of one in Psalms, 12:6-7, and three in Matthew, 5:18, 4:4, and 24:35, before they veered into personal anecdotes. The four men of the collective attacked just four different preservation passages that underlie a biblical presupposition for the preservation of scripture. As a result their position does not reflect the teaching of the Bible. Their trajectory does not start from the Bible. The Textual Confidence Collective just published part 3 at youtube, a part they called, “Its Theology.” They did not provide scriptural presuppositions of their own, but they attacked those of whom they call, “textual absolutists,” mixing together various factions of King James Version advocates.
Their presuppositions direct their conclusions. If they start with the Bible, they come to one view, and when they start outside of it, they come to a different one. Whatever people believe about the preservation of scripture, they operate according to presuppositions, either natural or supernatural. INDEX BY SPECIFIC TOPIC: SEPARATION OR UNITY
