Explanations for Problem Passages in the Spanish Bible

It is this author’s opinion that many lists of supposed problem passages in the text of the Reina-Valera 1909 and 1960 are put together based on the creator’s mere impressions, designed in turn for those who will likewise use their mere impressions to reach lasting conclusions, rather than a scholarly analysis that takes into consideration the gravity of the matter.

An analysis of the text of the RVG Spanish Bible

In this analysis we will present selected passages of the Old Testament to see if the RVG is aligned with the KJV as promised. The following is one of the main reasons that had been presented to justify the RVG:

The Westcott and Hort Text Under Fire

This article is quite dated, but I found it an interesting read that was well-researched. Its source is Bibliotheca Sacra, January 1921.

Critique of new RVG-only book "God's Bible in Spanish"

This is a critique of God's Bible in Spanish: How God Preserved His Words in Spanish Through the RVG published by Chick Publications and primarily written by Emanuel (Manny) Rodríguez. In addition to the editor, Humberto Gómez is listed as holding the copyright for the book.

Is it wrong to say God inspired the writers of the Bible?

In recent years I have noticed an increasing trend in Fundamentalism objecting to statements to the effect that the writers of Scripture were inspired. It often comes across in clichés such as “God inspired the words, not the writers.” At least one Fundamentalist has written repeatedly that it is heresy to refer to inspired writers. The following are two examples of what is being taught along these lines by different authors:

Endorsement of Stephen Coston’s book King James Unjustly Accused?

The basic premise of Stephen Coston’s book King James VI of Scotland & I of England Unjustly Accused?

Must all foreign translations based closely on the Textus Receptus be revised if not conforming 100% to it?

Critique of Gomez Spanish Bible conference of November 2007

This detailed report is a critique of a conference that took place at the end of November 2007 in Iglesia Bautista Libertad in Matamoros, Tam. Mexico, where Missionary Humberto Gomez is the pastor. Although he had advisers, Humberto Gomez was the sole man who made final textual decisions for the Bible they now call Reina-Valera-Gomez (this according to what Pastor Gomez has told me in writing). I do not consider the RVG to be a perversion nor any other tasteless derogatory labels some have used for the 1960.
