In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Jeff Riddle, we talk about presuppositions of Textual Criticism, along with the Comma Johanneum, that is 1 John 5:7-8. We also had an opportunity to talk about his debates with Dr. James White on the Long ending of Mark and the view that Erasmus had been pressured to add the passage of the 3 heavenly witnesses.

Join us as we talk over these issues as they pertain to the confessional/traditional text position.
