Observations from listening to the first of Shutt's messages:

Interesting -- contra his mother-in-law, Shutt actually makes his
primary appeal to the Greek manuscripts, the "overwhelming majority" of such, and church fathers, even before AD 450.

Lecture 1, Timemark 9:50

"The second reason to use only the King James Version is its manuscripts. Now, we have manuscripts from antiquity; this is...these are manuscripts previous to AD 450, such as papyri and other writings. We also have writings of the early church fathers that support the text of the King James Version."

Shutt then goes on to speak of "continuity" (one of Burgon's principles) and "variety of location" (yet another Burgon principle), and "number" (also from Burgon).

Sounds to me like Shutt already is more sensible than his mother-in-law (or even his wife, who defends her mother's peculiar views), and would be perfectly accepted as a member of Waite's Burgon Society....

The funny thing is this: his mother-in-law claims that appeal to the Greek is irrelevant because of multiple "original translations" into all the existing languages of the world, this being applied to all the NT scriptures as they were being composed -- and this because of the Pentecost gift of tongues!

Yet GAR claims ("letter on file") that her peculiar idea on this point came from her son-in-law "KJV Evangelist Stephen Shutt"!

Something does not tally here...
