This is a podcast from the Trinitarian Bible Society defending the continued use of the Authorized Bible/King James Bible.
Yes, there is overwhelming documentary evidence for the retention of these words in the text, just as they stand in the Authorised Version. Some ancient manuscripts omit the words, but these documents are a comparatively small, unrepresentative and unreliable minority. Those who dismiss the words as an interpolation cannot adequately explain how the alleged interpolation established itself without appreciable variation in nearly all the manuscripts, found its way into every part of Christendom from the earliest times, established itself in the Greek copies used in public worship, the ‘Lectionaries’ and ‘Liturgies’, and has for long ages formed a part of the private and public devotions of many of the Lord’s people all over the world.
This article/video argues that John 5.39 in the Authorised (King James) Version correctly begins with the imperative ‘Search the scriptures’, rather than the indicative ‘You search the scriptures’ found in modern versions. Through careful analysis of the Greek grammar, context, and doctrinal implications, it contends that the imperative is the correct translation, Christ’s intent, and the Bible believing principle of sola scriptura.
