White and Kruger’s inconsistency on Scripture

White and Kruger’s inconsistency on Scripture

James White & Michael Kruger on the Biblical Canon https://youtu.be/LVVRfu1eLSU 

In the video linked above (after 4:47) White says:

The canon is a theological thing first and foremost. If we start from a historical perspective we can only go so far… we’re never going to get to what we believe the canon actually is if we start from that perspective.

Yet he will not say the same thing about the text of Scripture, which is also "a theological thing first and foremost."

Simply replace CANON (in the quote from White above) with TEXT and we have a consistent theological approach to Scripture.

White and Kruger, however, refuse to do this, and demand we adopt a scientific, historical-critical approach to the TEXT of Scripture. My question is Why?

Especially since, during their talk, they explained (correctly) how wrongheaded the naturalistic historical-critical approach is when dealing with Scripture, which is supernatural.
