I had to take a little time to listen to this guy because I've  never heard of him, but he certainly gets a lot of views on youtube.

When you tell me someone is KJV only (Or a KJV bible believer, as husky would prefer it) that immediately sends up a red flag.  I use the KJV exclusively, in my teachings and in my music, but I have known for quite some time, that my choice is one of taste or preference.  When I hear that someone believes that the KJV is itself a divinely inspired translation, they immediately go, in my mind, into a special category of person whose critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and logic are deficient.    It takes a sort of willing ignorance and dishonesty to maintain that position over a  long period of time and through rigorous research.  I watched him make some of his defense of the KJV, and I could readily see that his approach was this:  he had already reached the conclusion that the KJV was the only Holy Bible in English, and "sticking to his guns,"  come hell or high water, he was going to stick-to and defend that position against any and all attacks. So it does not matter how much evidence is presented, or whether his arguments are logical or not, he determined the right position, and knowing  what it right, he continues to defend what he says is right, regardless of the evidence to the contrary. Anyone who continues to adhere to the KJV as the only inspired bible in English is not someone who is reliable

I looked at several of his other videos.  His videos are mostly what I would consider a form of Christian "pornography," by that I mean he is constantly "laying bare"  "exposing" "uncovering"  and "stripping naked"  the people and ideas he opposes. There is nothing wrong with exposing fraud, but there is a certain self-indulgent and gratuitous quality to his work which I feel deserves that label.  I look at his video titles and find things like. "The false God of the post trib- rapture"  Based on his mischaracterization of those beliefs. That is the general impression of the man,  He likes to build straw-men, because they are easy to knock down.

I kept looking for a video that was instructional in a book of the bible or speaking to the depths of Salvation.  But he does not seem to be that sort of teacher.  The video talking about salvation is one of the shortest videos I saw on his channel.  I find something very wrong with a teacher who has more interest in making videos about enemies (including his real-life neighbors) than in talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the riches that are found in his salvation.  I never feel that the subject gets boring or that I have exhausted what I might say about it.  I get excited about talking about how through his divine power God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, that we may be partakers in the divine nature.  I get excited talking about that and the idea of obtaining that, as
much as possible, is what motivates me to teach others, that we all may obtain to godliness and virtue by the power of God in Jesus Christ.    There is a whole lot to be said about that, but when Husky does his salvation video, it's almost like he wanted it to be the most boring video on his channel.

In all fairness, I can't say I listened to more than a few minutes of any video.  He was boring to me.

I suppose some people might say I am the pot that called the Kettle black, after all I have that big page on Arnold Murray.  I would disagree and point out that the majority of my work is in teaching the scriptures, book by book, line by line, to believers.  http://oraclesofgod.org/studies/index.htm

If you have any further questions I am at your service.

Sincerely,
