I’ve written to Dr. Stauffer and asked him to stand behind his published statements. I’ve invited him to join me on the DL, and inquired about his willingness to publicly debate the issues. Though a number of days have passed, he has so far declined even replying to my e-mails. I’m wondering if he will end up like D.A. Waite, another KJV Only advocate who is brave and boisterous in monologue but utterly unwilling to defend his statements in the presence of knowledgable opposition. One can only think of this statement, which I will quote from the KJV itself:
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. (Proverbs 18:17)
The point is more clearly expressed here, however:
The first to plead his case seems right,
Until another comes and examines him. (NASB)
