In this episode of the Postscript, we sit down with Van Sneed of the Ps+ and discuss how he came to believe that the Authorized Version is God’s preserved word in English. He shares how the King James is perceived culturally and how the KJV has a direct impact on doctrine.

In this episode we speak with lead pastor Brian Hedges of Heartland Bible Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO about the importance of context in Bible study. All of the Bible is written for us but not all of it is written specifically to us (2 Tim. 3:16). We also look at the three aspects of a proper hermeneutic: historical, doctrinal & inspirational applications of God’s Word.

In this episode of the Ps+ we’ll begin to explore the practical implications and underlying thought taking a critical view of scripture.

In this episode, we conclude our three-part series on the King James Bible with Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute. We look at the modern translations’ damage to doctrine compared against the KJV Bible’s teachings on two basics of the Christian faith - faith itself & the believer’s spiritual identity. Can someone who uses a modern translation have certainty regarding the specificity of what they believe?

In this episode, we continue with part two of our three-part series on the King James Bible. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute, helps us to understand the history behind the King James Bible. In part two, we address whether or not God continued to protect his words even within the translation process, what the translation process was like, and why we can be confident that God has given us his very words today.

In this episode of the Ps+ we look at what the Bible says about God preserving his Word, as well as discuss a faith-based view of scripture.

In this episode, we begin a three-part series on why the King James is God’s preserved word. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of Living Faith Bible Institute, discusses with us the doctrine of inspiration and preservation in order to better understand God’s character and purposes as it concerns scripture. In part 1 of our series, we address when inspiration occurred, why scripture goes beyond the original autographs, the problems with textual criticism, why we can trust God oversaw the process of transcription and translation, and much more.
