Which Bible Is God’s Word? | KJV-Only Debate Review
from Weighed in the Balance · host Jonathan Brooks & Co
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Weighed in the Balance, we return to the 2021 debate between Mitch Canup and Nathan Cravat to examine the second major question:Which Bible on the market today contains the words of God?This question gets to the heart of the King James Only controversy and the doctrine of Scripture itself. If God has preserved His Word—as Christians confess—where do we find it today? Is it confined to one English translation, or is God’s Word preserved in the original languages and faithfully conveyed through accurate translations?In this episode, we carefully analyze Cravat’s opening argument, including:What it means to call a translation “the Word of God”Whether all translations are created equalHow textual variants actually affect the New TestamentThe difference between preservation and re-inspirationWhy less than 1% of textual variants meaningfully impact the textWe also discuss the importance of evidence, manuscript history, and theological consistency when evaluating claims about Bible preservation.If you’re interested in careful, charitable theological discussion—especially on issues like Bible translation, textual criticism, and KJV-Onlyism—you’re in the right place.Let me know your thoughts in the comments: Do you believe only one translation can rightly be called God’s Word?
