PART I: THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE AND THE JEWISH BIBLE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE 1611 KJV CROSS-REFERENCES The original 1611 King James Version (KJV) Bible includes cross-references that show links between the Apocrypha and the New Testament. Of course, allusions, references, and fulfilled prophecies will be debated until the end of…
Consider the Moslem view of Christianity. From Qureshi: … Finally, we turn to the most common Muslim accusation against the Bible: that its text has been changed over time. It should also be clear now why Muslims accuse the Bible of having been altered: because the Quran says it teaches…
Kruger’s view (part of his model, as he calls it) is that the sheep heard the Shepherd’s voice as spoken through the canonical books: the sheep (the early Christians) accepted the correct books of the New Testament canon through the working of the Holy Spirit, recognizing the Divine Truth when…

The early Church accepted Baruch, according to nine of the ten Fathers that Kruger cites, let alone all the other Fathers. The first and only Father we know of who may have rejected Baruch is Jerome, 360 years after Christ. Jerome again evidences this in what he tells us about…
HOW SUSANNA CAN DEFEAT THE CASE FOR CHRISTIANITY Susanna is presented as a book in the 1611 King James Version of the Bible, but is Chapter 13 of Daniel in Catholic Bibles and the first chapter of Daniel in the Orthodox Bible.[1] Unfortunately, by not being a definitive “book,” it…
In my opinion, the case for Christianity would be lost by a Protestant[1] who believes that the Apocrypha[2] were never accepted as authentic Scripture by the early Church, the Apostles, or Jesus.
