In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, we continue examining audience questions from the 2021 debate between Mitch Canupp and Nathan Cravatt on the King James Only controversy.

This section of the debate reveals some of the deepest theological differences between the two sides. We discuss:

• Textual variants and how textual criticism actually works
• Translation differences vs. manuscript differences
• Titus 2:13 and the Granville Sharp construction
• 1 Peter 3:18 and translation philosophy
• Whether Christ can truly be preached from modern translations
• Acts 12:4 (“Easter” vs. “Passover”)
• Claims that chapter and verse numbers contain inspired revelation
• The purpose of Scripture according to the Reformed tradition
• Why the gospel itself must remain central in our doctrine of Scripture

My goal in this series is not mockery or outrage, but careful and charitable theological analysis. Even where disagreements are sharp, Christians should strive to represent opposing positions accurately and fairly.
