How We Check What Is Published
Gentle King is written by a layman. I want to be told when a quotation, reference, historical claim or explanation is wrong.
Holy Scripture is the supreme authority. The confessional standard used here is the original 1647 Westminster Confession with the original Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Westminster wording and Scripture proofs are taken from The Westminster Standard (opens in a new tab). Later American revisions aren't silently substituted.
For historical claims and teacher reviews, the first preference is the person's own published sermon, writing, recording or official document. The article should tell you which source supports a consequential claim. An interpretation should be clearly distinguished from a quotation. An allegation that can't be verified should be corrected or removed.
This site uses links to the KJV reader and to the original Westminster text and proofs, allowing you to examine the passages yourself. For the full Confession, open the Westminster Study Center.
Report an Error
Tell me the page address, the words that concern you, and why you think they're mistaken. A Scripture reference or a source link helps. I also welcome reports of broken links and mobile accessibility problems.
The form opens your device's email application. This site doesn't upload or store your report, and you can edit the email before sending it. If the button doesn't work, write directly to colt@gentleking.org.
What Happens After a Correction?
I compare the report with the source and read Scripture in context. Where I've misstated the doctrine, misquoted a source, or linked the wrong reference, I correct the page and regenerate the site. A substantial correction should be explained openly, with the date and the nature of the change. Minor spelling and formatting fixes don't need a public notice.
Readers may disagree with the interpretation while sharing the same Confession. I won't present every disagreement as an established error. I also won't use an author's reputation as a substitute for reading his actual words.
The site's source and its change history are available in the public GitHub repository (opens in a new tab). That allows readers to examine what changed.
