Stylos is the blog of Jeff Riddle, a Reformed Baptist Pastor in North Garden, Virginia. The title "Stylos" is the Greek word for pillar. In 1 Timothy 3:15 Paul urges his readers to consider "how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar (stylos) and ground of the truth."

I appreciated Vince's obvious courtesy to me. He'd already won a lot of points with me in personal interaction but, if anything, he's gone up in my estimation after hearing this interview. Thank you, brother!
A question I would have liked to ask both gentlemen: does the adoption of a macro-TR as your standard mean you are giving up the use of Matthew 5:18 as a prooftext? I didn't hear that verse get mentioned, but maybe I missed it! What does Christ's promise about the jots and tittles mean if the fulfillment is a "macro-TR"? I am trying to put this together in my mind.
And, Dr. Riddle, I am not a critic of the KJV, only of KJV-Onlyism. I love the KJV, and I stand united with its translators against KJV-Onlyism in all its forms.
