Fred Butler provides a critique of Kent Brandenburg’s tradition-based mishandling of God’s Word: http://hipandthigh.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/where-the-single-version-men-lead-us/
The article below that I wrote years ago sheds relevant light upon Steven Avery’s textual receptus claim, and Chris Pinto’s conspiratorial claim and his insistence that the TR tradition goes back to the early church period. http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php/2007/04/19/dean-burgon-and-his-phantom-manuscripts/ See also Ken Willy’s insightful comments on Pinto’s damage control after losing the debate: http://bibleversiondiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/5650/Pinto-Post-Debate-Damage-Control#.UssEMPbm-XF
Fred Butler has further comments on Chris Pinto’s failed performance in the debate: http://hipandthigh.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/h-p-blavatsky-for-the-defense/ http://hipandthigh.wordpress.com/2013/12/16/why-the-whitepinto-debate-matters/ (Incidentally, I find it telling that Chris Pinto and Brannon Howse refuse to post the debate audio on their respective websites for their people to listen to. If they think Pinto “won” the debate, why not post it? I think we all know the answer
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document.

The debate audio is available here! http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php/2013/12/13/in-response-to-chris-pinto/ I will post my review of the debate in the near future.
Fred Butler has written a helpful review of Chris Pinto’s conspiracy documentary entitled Tares Among the Wheat. I encourage you to read it. http://hipandthigh.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/tares-among-the-wheat-a-review/
http://hipandthigh.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/chris-pintos-disingenuous-response-to-his-critics/ There is so much in Fred Butler’s article worthy to excerpt here (read it all), but here is a good point: “Chris Pinto is going into David Barton territory with his Thomas Jefferson stuff. If I recall correctly, Brannon Howse has taken David Barton to task on that subject as well as posted articles by others. Well, here we
Brannon Howse’s “Worldview Weekend” contributor Chris Pinto employs McCarthyistic tactics. http://christianresearchnetwork.org/2013/09/06/the-pintonian-inquisition-scholarship-or-mccarthyism/
Brannon Howse’s “Worldview Weekend” contributor Chris Pinto was recently duped by a satire news site. It is hilarious, but sad. It shows the pattern of Chris Pinto relying on dubious sources to further his conspiracy theory. “Another fascinating bit of evidence that gives us a peak into the conspiratorialist mindset of Chris Pinto involves the missing August 5, 2013 episode
Chris Pinto of Noise of Thunder Radio holds to the conspiracy theory that Codex Sinaiticus is a 19th century forgery, a “Jesuit plot” to undermine the authority of Scripture with modern translations of the Bible. Pinto’s agenda is to promote his Textus Receptus view, arguing that the TR is the textual tradition that goes back to the original manuscripts of
