Possibly the WORST King James Onlyism Speech I've Ever Heard

Описание: King James Onlyism often relies on arguments about manuscripts, translators, and textual variants—but do those arguments actually address the real question: which Bible reflects the original words of Scripture? In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, I examine Mitch Canupp’s speech from the KJV-only debate and evaluate his claims about Westcott and Hort, textual criticism, and modern Bible translations. We look at specific variants like John 7:8, 1 Timothy 3:16, and the Comma Johanneum to see what the manuscript evidence actually shows—and why no core Christian doctrine depends on disputed readings.

If you value careful, charitable theological analysis grounded in Scripture and sound reasoning, consider subscribing. #textualcriticism #christiantheology #reformedtheology
