KJV-Onlyism Falls Apart Here (1 John 5:7 & Revelation 16:5 Explained)

from Weighed in the Balance · host Jonathan Brooks & Co

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we continue analyzing the 2021 debate on KJV-onlyism and examine two key passages—1 John 5:7 and Revelation 16:5—that raise serious challenges for the position.While the King James Version remains a faithful and valuable translation, elevating it to the only acceptable English Bible creates major apologetic, theological, and interpretive problems. We also address common misconceptions about the New King James Version and its textual basis.Quick clarification: While there are a few minor differences between the KJV and NKJV (such as “God” vs “Lord” in some places), these remain within the Textus Receptus tradition and do not indicate a shift to the Majority or Critical Text.If you enjoy careful, charitable theological discussion, consider subscribing and joining the conversation in the comments.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
