The Battle for the Bible is still raging within the English world. Will the critics ever find the Bible they believe faithfully represents the Bible God wrote? Well, I found a man by the name of George Washington Moon that wrote a book criticizing the Reviser’s and their English. So, who is G. W. Moon?
George Washington Moon (1823-1909)
George Washington Moon was born in London in 1823 and educated at a private school in Barnet. He wrote a number of poetical works as well as several books and pamphlets on English grammar and usage. The latter often focussed critically on the language used by various contemporary writers (including the translators of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible) and this led to a number of counter-attacks and ongoing controversies. Moon died in 1909. https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections/collection/1450
In case you are interested here is the Preface to G. W. Moon’s REVISER’S ENGLISH. The book may be found online in pdf format.
“The Trinitarian Bible Society is pleased to share this documentary on the life and work of William Tyndale commemorating the 500th anniversary of the publication of the English New Testament. We hope this account of Tyndale’s life may stir you to treasure the Scriptures and to cherish the legacy of faithful Bible translation. Share this documentary with others that they too may be encouraged.”
I have not watched much of what Mark Ward has to say against the King James Bible but I do appreciate Thomas Ross keeping me and others abreast of what Ward is saying against the King James Bible. Thank you Thomas for taking the time to help us in this important matter.
The ESV along with most if not all the other versions that follow Westcott and Hort have a note stating “Some manuscripts insert, wholly or in part, waiting for the moving of the water; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred the water: whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had“. Stick with the King James Bible!
