Doesn't this invalidate their belief in verbal plenary preservation? Shouldn't they believe that there is Hebrew and Greek that are "exactly" like the originals? | Among the AV/TR 1894 defenders there are a couple of camps. It is a nuanced business. The following link (and one related) looks at a discussion of Owen’s view of this (and he was one of the Reformation architects of the doctrine of providential preservation). There are also those who hold to absolute preservation. Is God able to do that? http://www.puritanboard.com/showpost...6&postcount=67 http://www.puritanboard.com/showpost...6&postcount=76
