Dean Burgon Society

Please elaborate.

 

A Plan for the DBS to Return to Their Roots and Regain Credibility​

1. Continue to distance themselves from the radicalism of Ruckman and Riplinger. Stop publishing anything that glorifies these two (such as Jack Moorman's Forever Settled in Heaven, quoting Ruckman positively many times: http://www.buzzardhut.net/index/htm/Forever.Settled.pdf)

2. Actually discuss Burgon instead of KJVO issues. Instead of the typical DBS meeting messages (according to the latest DBS E-news, "on the KJB superiority; on Biblical activism; on the Textus Receptus; on the crew behind modern versions; on sincerity; on warnings about Gail Riplinger")--try "Burgon on Mark's Ending," Burgon Vs. Hort & Westcott," "Burgon's Use of the Church Fathers," "Would Burgon Accept the Byzantine Textform?" etc.

3. Remember the Great Commission. Start finding ways to get the Gospel out around the world instead of simply fighting English Bible versions. The Bible is not a fort to defend, it is a sword to attack Hell's gates with.

4. Hire a fact checker. The authors of the DBS have been criticized for getting the facts wrong. Just one case had to do with a past leader of my mission board. (Dr. Waite knows whereof I speak.)

I would say more, but this is a start. Will they pay attention to their critics? I seriously doubt it.

 

I appreciate your support in this. I determined years ago not to answer personal attacks. However, at the advice of a seminary prof friend I did answer Dr. Williams' complaints about my review here: http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=60191
