On one hand I'm delighted with the display of civility, but on the other hand I'm distressed that it is so rare.

Mark and Scott, thank you both for your gracious treatment of one another! May this conversation stand as an example to other believers on how to address differences and disagreement within the Church.
As another TR guy who preaches from the NKJV, I have seen too much division over this issue and it refreshing to see that we as believers can disagree AND be gracious in our treatment of others. Thank you again!

This is how in-house debates between Christian brothers should be. God bless you both.

What a wonderful, blessed and edifying conversation. Thank you.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the:
Calvinists & Arminians
Covenantalists & Dispensationalists
Complimentarians & Egalitarians
Old earthers & Young earthers  etc. who have legitimate real differences could at least learn to treat their Christian counterparts as you gentlemen have done in this video? This is how Christians SHOULD treat each other. Thank you both.

I am southern like Scott and it made me laugh how his mannerisms are exactly like some people I know.

I appreciate the fact that both of you approached this topic in the spirit of grace, and neither of you had an attitude of pride or arrogance. If all believers had more humility, as both of you have shown, we would be much more pleasing to the Lord Jesus. God bless both of you. BTW, I have two Bibles on my desk that I use more often than any others, the ESV and the NKJV. I love them both!

I actually love Scott Ingram. He's really great!

Great Stuff! Gives me hope!

I have consistently “pushed back” against KJV-only doctrine when attempts have been made to introduce it in my congregation (although this has not happened for a number of years now). In my view, it is willful ignorance, which is bad enough, but it is also incredibly divisive and, often, mean-spirited. Thankfully, I have seen a few of them move away from this view. Sadly, however, I have too often had to cite Romans 16:17 in warning my fellow believers about many of them.

TR preferred, preach from the NKJV. Good to see you guys having a conversation. Both have awesome channels.

Wow! I'm not sure if I would have been as gracious as both you and brother Scott were in this video. I personally haven't settled solidly on one side or the other of the textual debate, not only because I don't feel like I have enough data to make an informed decision on the topic but also because I'm convinced that it is better to hold these types of viewpoints on things unrevealed with great humility and caution. That being said, I agree with both of you on the importance of believers being able to trust the translation they hold. For that reason, I'm saddened by brother Scott's comment about translations based on the critical text as being akin to "storybook Bibles." Every translation of God's Word is itself to be considered as God's Word insofar as it is faithful to the originals, and if God has left debatable a minuscule percentage of what is in the originals, we would do well to hold our opinions lightly as to whether those debated passages are original or not. But praise the Lord that the minuscule does not define our faith; I actually find that the debate over the minuscule strengthens my trust in the overwhelming majority. One thousand soldiers who share 95% of the same vision and focus are a much stronger military force than a mere one hundred who agree on absolutely everything.

I have been a fan of both your channels. I am a Byzantine priority guy myself, which means that I would agree more, perhaps, with Scott. I preach from the NKJV and use it for my personal Bible reading most of the time. When asked about my preference for the KNJV, I explain my view, remind them that there is ultimately not a great deal of difference, and encourage them to follow their own consciences in the matter. So, although some in my congregation use the NKJV, as I do, there are also those who use the NASB, LSB, ESV, and even a couple who use the NIV. When differences arise in the text (usually due to translation rather than textual issues), I simply explain why they are there and how they rarely make any real difference. I have found that this approach, over the past 30 years, has actually led them to greater confidence in their Bible.

I have always been at churches up until the last couple years that are more staunch in the King James position, and I myself have only read the King James. With that said, through the years, there was always guilt when reading an NIV or a new King James version or something else. So, I always surmised since the king James is so much in my memory, just to continue with that.

I subscribe to both Pastor Ingram and Mark Ward YouTube channels.  Actually, Pastor Ingraham opened my mind up to the new King James version before Mark Ward did, as I was subscribed to his channel 1st ….then came along Mark Ward, and I would say that I learned and gleed very much, and as much that I feel comfortable in my heart and in my mind to read other versions without feeling that I’m reading the devil‘s Bible or a perversion, etc.  all this to say, I was elated to find that both of these brothers could have a talk together, and I have just got done, listening and feel that it’s a great thing to have shared common ground, even opening up our eyes in a good way, thank you both, for your faithfulness.

Wonderful, enlightening,warm conversation. Thank you, Brothers.🌹🔥🌞🔥🌹

A respectful, Biblical conversation, and a POTENT challenge. Thanks so much for your diligent research on this topic!

I’ve enjoyed listening to Scott for years.

Good episode.

I've seen some of Scott Ingram's translation videos as well, and I found his position fair and considerate even when I disagreed. As you've talked about TR-Only pastors being de facto KJV-Only pastors, Scott has repeatedly come to mind as a major exception to that generalization. (I've known a few pastors in person who have held similar beliefs about the TR, and they too were marked by a graciousness that was often not there in the KJVO sphere that I knew in my youth.)

The book farstad wrote about the NKJV was a big part of getting past my apprehensions about it.

And the response by Dr Price to DA Waites criticims of the NKJV OT. Price showed that DA Waites grasp of Hebrew is very subpar and his criticism of the NKJV was NOT based on in departing from the Hebrew but in choosing to translate/interpreting the Heb different than the KJV

I loved this conversation. I really wish more KJV-Only people had the demeanour, gentleness and respect that Scott had here, in spite of the differences you two have on this issue. God bless you both. 🙏
