Cherub Podcast S2 Ep 7: Discovering The Dangers of Westcott & Hort Behind The Critical Text

In this critical episode, hosts Jairus Burks and Zach Graham expose the dangers of Westcott & Hort and why their influence on modern Bible translations has led many Christians away from the pure, preserved Word of God-the King James Bible (KJV). Were these men faithful to biblical truth, or did their theological leanings and textual revisions introduce corruption into Scripture?
🔍 In this episode, we’ll uncover:
Who Westcott & Hort were and their role in shaping the Critical Text
Their beliefs and affiliations-and why they contradict biblical Christianity
How their Greek New Testament differs from the Textus Receptus (the basis for the KJV)
The doctrinal dangers found in modern Bible versions derived from their work
Why the KJV stands alone as the preserved Word of God for English-speaking believers
⚠️ Many Christians don’t realize that modern Bible versions remove, alter, or weaken key doctrines-from the deity of Christ to the blood atonement and the Trinity. By relying on Westcott & Hort’s Critical Text, translations like the NIV, ESV, and NASB introduce dangerous errors that dilute the truth of God’s Word.
📖 Why Christians Should Only Read the KJV:
Unlike modern translations, the KJV is based on the Textus Receptus, a manuscript tradition faithfully preserved by the church throughout history. The KJV maintains theological integrity, reverence, and precision, ensuring that God’s words are not lost or corrupted. As Scripture warns:
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." - Proverbs 30:5
Jairus and Zach bring their signature blend of historical insight and biblical discernment to this urgent discussion. If you’ve ever wondered why Bible versions differ-or if you’re serious about studying God’s Word in its purest form-this episode is for you.
