The show focuses on various theological topics, with episodes tackling the intricacies of doctrines like Sola Scriptura, the deity of Christ, and contemporary cultural claims against biblical teachings. For example, one episode debates whether early Church Fathers’ interpretations support the Protestant view, while another examines the balance of authority between Scripture and church tradition.
Weighed in the Balance, the show where we weigh claims against scripture and see if they hold up, of if they fall flat.
In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan uses the 2021 Cravatt–Canupp debate as a case study in how to recognize weak reasoning—no matter what issue is being discussed. This is not an attack on the King James Version. Instead, Jonathan walks through the debate to highlight common pitfalls: irrelevant tangents, historical inaccuracies, shifting the topic, attacking people instead of arguments, and redefining terms mid-stream.
By analyzing what went wrong in this debate, listeners learn how to spot the same patterns in any conversation—whether theological, political, or personal. If you want to sharpen your ability to think clearly, evaluate claims, and hold arguments to the actual question being asked, this episode offers a practical, real-world example of how to do it.
