I feel the same way. In the face of that gleeful, smug sanctimony it is just so hard to be gracious. So many apologists TH-camrs have this awful mannerism. It’s really nauseating! I guess the way to be less offended is to just know your stuff.
@GoodieWhiteHat I think it's even more significant to show humility. I grew up a 6-day creationist until I neared by mid-20s and opposed to marriage equality until my mid-30s. Nowadays I consider both incompatible with my faith and/or the evidence provided in the Bible and the world around me. I've been wrong frequently and passionately enough that I am immediately suspicious of people who talk with a sense of superiority.
I'm eternally grateful that at the same time i began to attend church, i also took Bible as lit courses in high school, which kept me from ever seeing the Bible as univocal, literal or infallible. Best thing i ever could have done for myself.

Lack of communications messes up everything there is a time and place for everything though 🤔🤨 man and woman should get in touch with each other more they should ask each other even about the things they know how do you feel about this do you like when I do this and then when you build up that relationship you start asking things that are a little more pertinent so on and so on that's how I have a good business works not that that's a business you have to use your imagination though 🤔🤨😎
God used three languages to his preserve his word. Latin is not one of them which corrupt texts came out of. There are other corrupt texts as well coming out of Alexandria and Rome. The Holy Scriptures has specific manuscripts as a textual basis. All others are forgeries and one can tell where the devil attacks specific doctrines including the deity of Christ.

As a woman- this is why women should NOT try to decipher, explain, assume, or interpret from “their point of view”. We women are highly emotional creatures who get our emotional thinking ahead of our logical thinking. This is why Eve was targeted by the serpent. Eve got her assumptions and feelings ahead of the logical commands from God who gave it to Adam who gave it to Eve. We cannot be deceived by believing the “they said” from internet people. Jesus said to “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming “I am the Messiah”, and will deceive many.” Matthew 24:4. This also means to watch out for false “Gods word”. Not all “bibles” are Gods word. History is so incredibly important to carefully study. Deep dive into the important facts is essential! And have a Godly man who has wisdom and understanding to be there to lead.
I will never understand people who want to pretend the bible is the literal word of god that must be followed to the letter... yet are utterly unwilling to learn greek to actually read the original words.
Well it appears there are those who want to believe one thing and another that wants to disbelieve and they all put together their vague understandings and misunderstandings dancing all over the Bibles shaped text. I guess it will be never ending because the weight that these writings have had on society. I would think that if this book wasn't given such credence , then all this erratic understandings would just be , like basic literature, delving into its meanings to you and NOT trying to prove it's an infallible document.
Thank you for your great work Dan. I know you recommend the NRSV Study Bible, but what do you think of the NASB (New American Standard Bible )? It's supposed To be one of the most accurate English translations?
❤ the NRSV. NASB is translated into English directly from the original languages. It’s a bit clunkier to read flow-wise. But is a pretty decent study Bible.
See Matthew 23 where Jesus completely wrecks the scribes and pharisees, the rulers of his area. Also, all the prophets of the old testament prophesied against the rulers of their day. John the Baptist was beheaded because he told King Herod that it wasn't lawful for him to have his brother's wife.
The Apostle Paul - Mentions the Way of Salvation Paul did not detest the Law of Moses. Paul actually believed in The Law, but did not understand that God was going to bring in the grace. It had to first be a sacrifice - and that sacrifice was Jesus Christ. Paul did not detest The Law but quoted from Moses and explained what Moses could not explain back then, because it wasn't time yet. Moses means "drawn out" - and God used Moses to 'draw out' Israel from Egypt. The Hebrews spent scores of years in Egypt, and it was time to move on. The word 'Church' means "Called Out" - by Christ, the Church was called out of the world to make a people for God. In the epistles written by Paul, especially Romans and Galatians he explained the purpose of the church. In The Law in Deuteronomy 32 - God had Moses teach Joshua and the Children of Israel a song. This song was going to attest what the Children of Israel was going to do, including turning their back on God. But... in the end, God would bring Israel back. In that chapter, the Church was foretold due to Israel's idolatry which caused jealousy from God. For that reason God used a people that were not a people to cause Israel to jealousy. The Apostle Paul explains this in Romans 9, 10, and 11. Acts 13:38,39 38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
This dude sound brilliant with is spawn s-shirt on. Guys do you remember who spawn is? Jesus said know them by their fruits. Its Clear that this youtuber left out on purpose the wycliffe Bible translation dated 1382 that also supports what is written in the Geneva Bible written in the early 1500s concerning Ephesians 6:12 . Now before you read it remember it was translated into old English. This is what the Wycliffe Bible says in its translations of Ephesians 6:12"For whi stryuyng is not to vs ayens fleisch and blood, but ayens princis and potestatis, ayens gouernours of the world of these derknessis, ayens spiritual thingis of wickidnesse, in heuenli thingis." Now I know the youtuber mentioned words inserted and cosmic world ya ya ya. But you must remember demons are evil spirits the same spirits that possessed and manipulated the Pharisees , the people in the times of Jesus and the governments governors to kill him. Again It was finally though the governments was Jesus death accomplished by Satan by use of a governor named Pilot. If this happened to Jesus and all of his disciples people do you think we are exempt especially when the book of revelation reveals its the rise Government that would eventually rule many to death. Therefore are we fighting normal men and women? the answer is No. On the surface if appears that way. This is what we know a natural man cannot kill it take a demonic spirit to influence and possess to kill and this task becomes especially easier when a government or governors in the government is involved.
The Holy Spirit (ruach) comes to guide our spirit into truth and discern error.. knowing this, flesh and blood is referring to an individual person, rulers of darkness is the system that's guided by them.
Hey Dan, unrelated question for you. What's going on with Ruth uncovering Boaz's feet while he sleeps? I've heard different takes on whether that's a euphemism or should be understood literally and am wondering if you could clarify.
1:04-1:08 No it’s not. “Ephesians” (Laodiceans) was definitely talking about the archons in outer space (it’s like that cult lady in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla).
Didn’t they fully cut the book of Enoch? And re canonize the Bible circa council of Nicea? Seems to me that a huge part of the divisions in sects of Christianity is their inability to agree on a universal Bible and theology
Since people don’t seem to know.. worldly governors are the council of gods, mentioned elsewhere. The fallen angels who have territory claims rule regions of the earth. They are among the princes of this world, governing tribes and regions. Ba’al, Baphomrt, ect.. I see no contradiction.
Look at an annotated version of Shakespeare's plays - better yet, try reading a couple without footnotes. It's very rough going, since not only has the language changed *a lot,* but the cultural context is very different and many of the allusions or jokes - which come thick & fast - are completely lost on us now. Now go back another 1400+ years for the earliest New Testament books, written for a minority sect of Judaism initially struggling for acceptance in that culture, later moving around the Mediterranean and changing its audience and goals... I find it very hard to imagine how a single translation could cover all that territory well, without having 10× more footnotes than text, and without enraging people who believe their current Bible is the One True Bible, written in English as God intended. And then there's the Old Testament...
This is the original scripture from... something other than the original scripture. The alleged change doesn't even make sense, because the Bible is already full of anti-government messages. Why would you change that verse?
Doesn't this contradict Paul's message in Romans that people should obey the government and the rules because there's no government that isn't put there by God?
So, I am pretty sure that the ancient greeks were not very much into science fiction, so how do we know that "κοσμοκράτωρ" does refer to cosmic entities, and not the physical rulers of the physical world? What I mean is: which non biblical ancient greek texts do we have to clarify that this word refers to non-worldly entities? Basically, what's the origin of the word?
Another benighted, though perhaps well-meaning, person who finds a tidbit of information that comports with her goals, and runs with it. Sure, say it's Dunning-Kruger, but what pushes people to do this with religion in particular? Where else would people read so much into a comma from 400+ years ago? Or put *so much* importance on the meaning of a *single word* out of hundreds of thousands, when even well-educated people struggle to read Shakespeare (~1600CE)?
but tyndale and coverdale didn't translate into greek. they translated into latin and english. so worldly would have those definitions. and since no one is allowed to read the original greek and hebrew (and some aramaic) including YOU... we cannot verify that the greek word kosmokratoras was the correct word used. Eramus' translation is still a translation, it is not the original text.. The original source would be needed to verify accurately. BUT we do know that "principalities, against powers would establish a spiritual warfare, so... there's no sense repeating that with the word "cosmic" in the same verse since it has already been established. therefore "worldly governors" means exactly what it says as it was translated into latin and english. nice try though. As far as "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" you would be wrestling against the power given to the worldly governors so that is accurate. so it is not in contradiction with the scripture. The problem we run into with translations is they can be as seriously flawed as the king james because humans are translating them. erasmus could have also thrown in cosmic because like the pope he wanted to change it, the reader has no way of knowing. The catholic church removed 14 books of the bible and changed or left out scriptures to suit the catholic ideology. which in its self is a grossly flawed teaching which directly contradicts Gods' word. and it's no wonder why they deleted "worldly governors" as the pope wanted the scripture to say the pope had complete authority over the people and king james wanted it to say the king had complete authority over the people. And you just can't do that with Gods' word saying we wrestle against worldly governors.
Hey brother where was that you got that Greek word the cosmo cloicus lol or whatever however you spell it, will you share that with me where you got that and how you attained that, cuz I'm a 1611 authorized addition of the King James reader, and I'm really getting tired of people trying to say that the Geneva Bible is the correct translation when it's not, I want to know where you got that word meaning the governors are the worldly rulers or in the Greek you know what you said almost halfway into video, and could you spell that correctly for me cuz I don't know how to spell that word that you said in Greek lol
My goodness. Such a hubbbub about a series of verses from a writing most biblical scholars recognize as a forgery. So whatever this guy wrote can be discounted entirely for no other reason than he’s clearly a person who has no qualms about lying. Next subject! 😂
0:26-0:31 It was probably Marcion’s epistle to the laodiceans that he wrote in the mid-second century CE that was referred to in the muratorian canon. Like “Luke,” the epistle was likely doctored by orthodox scribes to sound more orthodox (basically whatever tertullian said, but the exact opposite).
Ok, so Mathew, there is another young man that is teaching that we should not be calling our Lord, Jesus, he is saying, we should call Him Yah, or Yahweh, Elohim. Is he misguided or what is the truth in this?
The world, Means a human's life. The end of the world is when one human dies. The 4 Angels standing at the 4 corners Is the great distance Of loss In 4 areas. This is the depiction of the world, A Circle with the human in the center
"God's word" That pretty much all she needed to say. Everything attributed to Jesus was written by other people at later times. Everything attributed to God in the Hebrew bible is written by men. There is not anything that came from gods mouth that did not come from men's minds first. There is literaturally not one syllable of one word that Yeshu of Nazara said that came originally from his mouth, everything we have about Jesus was first written in greek. Even the letters of Paul, all greek. The gospel of Tomas, greek or coptic.
I have no desire to delve deeper into this creator's ramblings, but I'll betcha dollars to doughnuts she attributes these changes in the text to a dark conspiracy.
A King James-only apologist once gave me an article as to why only the KJV was the word of God. It's sole reasoning was that the preface to the KJV claimed it was written in "the language of the Holy Spirit". That was it. This article literally claimed that the KJV was inspired in a way that the earlier Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin texts weren't, and even went so far as to claim that God had no regard for "the originals" because now we have the KJV.
The authors of the KJV and the time period the authors lived in is not something that will ever be replicated. They were the literature Einsteins of the time. While I won’t defend the kjv to the point where I would say it’s 100% perfect, I will say that modern versions are corrupted being that they are copyrighted (unlike crown copyright the KJV holds, theirs is about making money). How many editions is the NIV on? So this is the word of God. No wait next year now this one is buy this one. No wait next year how about this one? God said his word is preserved for all generations. We only call it the King James Version as a modern thing to distinguish it from other versions. For 400 years it was commonly referred to as “The Bible”. Because that was the common bible. Modern versions take out the deity of Christ. They changed “saved” to “being saved”. They change “God created” to “God is creating” to conform with Darwinianism. The Bible changes with the times similar to the Mormon doctrine that changed and took out it’s racist parts to conform with the times. Not for me, what God says will never change in my church no matter how many laws the alphabet gang try to change. Reprobate doctrine has been removed from the church. Look at the state of the church in America. What’s the association? Luke warm preaching and corrupt versions. The devil has subtly replaced the double edged sword with a butter knife and many Christian’s will never know. It’s kinda hard to know when you’re not on the mission field. That’s where you find out the butter knife don’t cut too well. Also keep in mind English is the most important language right now for the spiritual war. No other churches send missionaries across the globe to risk their lives like the English speaking Christian churches do. And right now English is the language everyone wants to speak. That’s why so many countries their children learn English natively Asian countries Indian African. I believe that is all Gods plan and has to do with our missionaries.
@@latenttweet u know the kjv has been updated to. Also it was made to be a conservative response to the bishops Bible. Read the preface to the kjv and they will tell you their goal
@@latenttweet have you ever heard of the Catholic Church?? You do know they send out missionaries and their main language is Latin not English. You think they’re reading the Bible in English in all the Spanish speaking Catholic countries?? And the kjv want the most popular when it first came out it wasn’t until much later it became the most popular English version
Im not readint the bible until the lord tells me in my heart i have the right one in my hands, i just picked up a bible not knowing its a king james version ,earlier in the month i seen a video of someone explaing that the king james version isnt accurate and if i google it , it says he voices hus own beliefs which is NOT something GOD follows by , , who knows what if anyone of of these authors strayed from the word of god, im not making excuses , im just saying if im gonna read the word of god it better be accurate cause whats the point?
Jeremiah 10: The GREAT GOD 6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. 10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Okay cool. You spit out the entire history, with some translations, about the verse. But, all the previous versions seemed to say something similar. And then it just disappears? Cool history but you didn't really answer the question. Why was it removed?
You realize showing all these versions of the Bible and the changes made sure throws any of this being really God's word into extreme doubt. Why would a supreme being that is all-powerful allow all kinds of men to corrupt his word at all. It's all stupid.

I will never understand people who want to pretend the bible is the literal word of god that must be followed to the letter... yet are utterly unwilling to learn greek to actually read the original words.
Well it appears there are those who want to believe one thing and another that wants to disbelieve and they all put together their vague understandings and misunderstandings dancing all over the Bibles shaped text. I guess it will be never ending because the weight that these writings have had on society. I would think that if this book wasn't given such credence , then all this erratic understandings would just be , like basic literature, delving into its meanings to you and NOT trying to prove it's an infallible document.
For starter the catholic bible includes whole books removed by the protestant reformers
Thank you for your great work Dan. I know you recommend the NRSV Study Bible, but what do you think of the NASB (New American Standard Bible )? It's supposed To be one of the most accurate English translations?
❤ the NRSV. NASB is translated into English directly from the original languages. It’s a bit clunkier to read flow-wise. But is a pretty decent study Bible.
See Matthew 23 where Jesus completely wrecks the scribes and pharisees, the rulers of his area. Also, all the prophets of the old testament prophesied against the rulers of their day. John the Baptist was beheaded because he told King Herod that it wasn't lawful for him to have his brother's wife.
I wanna see a "familly tree" for the Bible for as far back as we know.
pretty sure there's lots of examples of that
I wish I could remember the name of the channel, but there is one that does precisely that, including portioning which books came from what sources.

The Apostle Paul - Mentions the Way of Salvation
Paul did not detest the Law of Moses. Paul actually believed in The Law,
but did not understand that God was going to bring in the grace. It had
to first be a sacrifice - and that sacrifice was Jesus Christ.
Paul did not detest The Law but quoted from Moses and explained what Moses
could not explain back then, because it wasn't time yet.
Moses means "drawn out" - and God used Moses to 'draw out' Israel from Egypt. The Hebrews spent scores of years in Egypt, and it was time to
move on.
The word 'Church' means "Called Out" - by Christ, the Church was called out
of the world to make a people for God.
In the epistles written by Paul, especially Romans and Galatians he explained the purpose of the church.
In The Law in Deuteronomy 32 - God had Moses teach Joshua and the Children
of Israel a song. This song was going to attest what the Children of Israel
was going to do, including turning their back on God.
But... in the end, God would bring Israel back. In that chapter, the Church was foretold due to Israel's idolatry which caused jealousy from God. For
that reason God used a people that were not a people to cause Israel to jealousy. The Apostle Paul explains this in Romans 9, 10, and 11.
Acts 13:38,39
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
This dude sound brilliant with is spawn s-shirt on. Guys do you remember who spawn is? Jesus said know them by their fruits. Its Clear that this youtuber left out on purpose the wycliffe Bible translation dated 1382 that also supports what is written in the Geneva Bible written in the early 1500s concerning Ephesians 6:12 . Now before you read it remember it was translated into old English. This is what the Wycliffe Bible says in its translations of Ephesians 6:12"For whi stryuyng is not to vs ayens fleisch and blood, but ayens princis and potestatis, ayens gouernours of the world of these derknessis, ayens spiritual thingis of wickidnesse, in heuenli thingis."
Now I know the youtuber mentioned words inserted and cosmic world ya ya ya. But you must remember demons are evil spirits the same spirits that possessed and manipulated the Pharisees , the people in the times of Jesus and the governments governors to kill him. Again It was finally though the governments was Jesus death accomplished by Satan by use of a governor named Pilot. If this happened to Jesus and all of his disciples people do you think we are exempt especially when the book of revelation reveals its the rise Government that would eventually rule many to death. Therefore are we fighting normal men and women? the answer is No. On the surface if appears that way. This is what we know a natural man cannot kill it take a demonic spirit to influence and possess to kill and this task becomes especially easier when a government or governors in the government is involved.
As soon as I saw it was her, I knew the disinformation was going to be flying fast and thick.
The Holy Spirit (ruach) comes to guide our spirit into truth and discern error.. knowing this, flesh and blood is referring to an individual person, rulers of darkness is the system that's guided by them.
I'm learning more Greek from you than I did with four Uni courses in Classical Greece lol.
Hey Dan, unrelated question for you. What's going on with Ruth uncovering Boaz's feet while he sleeps? I've heard different takes on whether that's a euphemism or should be understood literally and am wondering if you could clarify.
Hello Dan, nice video!
Does the app E-Sword accurately use the original Dead Sea Scrolls? If not, where can we find the original text of the Bible?
Ha, what would be even more amazing is if some TRUTH had been INSERTED into the Bible.
That's your ignorant opinion!
@@davidjanbaz7728 It is indeed.
Please read “ Embraced By The Light “ by Betty Eadie if u want actualy truth
@@billnott5811 Nothing happens when you die, you cease to exist. The threat/promise of an afterlife is a piece of snake oil salesmanship.
1:04-1:08 No it’s not. “Ephesians” (Laodiceans) was definitely talking about the archons in outer space (it’s like that cult lady in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla).
The Nag Hammadi Library and Dead Sea Scrolls are great reads, too.
Wow. For the inspired word of god this book sure has been changed ALOT through the centuries.
Does the Bible say it's the inspired word of God?
@7:04 clarification of what? Observing, experiencing, interpreting is still far to open considering the context
Everything written evil inside the bible has never been erased but only repeated for humans destruction
I am waiting for someone to call the wycliffe bible "the original bible". I wouldn't hold it though considering how archaic it is to most people.
it is the Spirit which quickeneth, flesh profiteth nothing.
Didn’t they fully cut the book of Enoch? And re canonize the Bible circa council of Nicea?
Seems to me that a huge part of the divisions in sects of Christianity is their inability to agree on a universal Bible and theology
Since people don’t seem to know.. worldly governors are the council of gods, mentioned elsewhere. The fallen angels who have territory claims rule regions of the earth. They are among the princes of this world, governing tribes and regions. Ba’al, Baphomrt, ect.. I see no contradiction.
Last few letters before Jude the KJV bible tells us to respect the Emperor
You should do a video on the 1611 KJV, I hear people think it's some magical version that's more accurate than any translation.
Dan could make a career at debunking her conspiracy theories and general nonsense.
Is there a modern English version of the bible that's a direct translation from the source texts?
Look at an annotated version of Shakespeare's plays - better yet, try reading a couple without footnotes.
It's very rough going, since not only has the language changed *a lot,* but the cultural context is very different and many of the allusions or jokes - which come thick & fast - are completely lost on us now.
Now go back another 1400+ years for the earliest New Testament books, written for a minority sect of Judaism initially struggling for acceptance in that culture, later moving around the Mediterranean and changing its audience and goals...
I find it very hard to imagine how a single translation could cover all that territory well, without having 10× more footnotes than text, and without enraging people who believe their current Bible is the One True Bible, written in English as God intended.
And then there's the Old Testament...
Thank you!
The king james Censored and outlawed the Geneva bible because it criticized his divine rule. I tbknk that was her point.
This is the original scripture from... something other than the original scripture.
The alleged change doesn't even make sense, because the Bible is already full of anti-government messages. Why would you change that verse?
She's either promoting anarchism or "taxation is theme" talking points wrapped in religion.
The great fact is that the Bible has been revised a ton lol
Just wow!
Dan I’m impressed with your level of knowledge.
When did you begin your journey of studying the Bible and its history
.the best translations are the newest ones. The translators know more about the languages they are translating. (From and into, both languages)
Should we also mention the Geneva bible was a politically charged bible that was instrumental during the Reformation?
Anyone that uses the terminology "C.E.," you can pretty much tune out.
Thanks!
Doesn't this contradict Paul's message in Romans that people should obey the government and the rules because there's no government that isn't put there by God?
So, I am pretty sure that the ancient greeks were not very much into science fiction, so how do we know that "κοσμοκράτωρ" does refer to cosmic entities, and not the physical rulers of the physical world? What I mean is: which non biblical ancient greek texts do we have to clarify that this word refers to non-worldly entities?
Basically, what's the origin of the word?
Another benighted, though perhaps well-meaning, person who finds a tidbit of information that comports with her goals, and runs with it.
Sure, say it's Dunning-Kruger, but what pushes people to do this with religion in particular?
Where else would people read so much into a comma from 400+ years ago?
Or put *so much* importance on the meaning of a *single word* out of hundreds of thousands, when even well-educated people struggle to read Shakespeare (~1600CE)?
but tyndale and coverdale didn't translate into greek. they translated into latin and english. so worldly would have those definitions. and since no one is allowed to read the original greek and hebrew (and some aramaic) including YOU... we cannot verify that the greek word kosmokratoras was the correct word used. Eramus' translation is still a translation, it is not the original text.. The original source would be needed to verify accurately. BUT we do know that "principalities, against powers would establish a spiritual warfare, so... there's no sense repeating that with the word "cosmic" in the same verse since it has already been established. therefore "worldly governors" means exactly what it says as it was translated into latin and english. nice try though. As far as "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" you would be wrestling against the power given to the worldly governors so that is accurate. so it is not in contradiction with the scripture. The problem we run into with translations is they can be as seriously flawed as the king james because humans are translating them. erasmus could have also thrown in cosmic because like the pope he wanted to change it, the reader has no way of knowing. The catholic church removed 14 books of the bible and changed or left out scriptures to suit the catholic ideology. which in its self is a grossly flawed teaching which directly contradicts Gods' word. and it's no wonder why they deleted "worldly governors" as the pope wanted the scripture to say the pope had complete authority over the people and king james wanted it to say the king had complete authority over the people. And you just can't do that with Gods' word saying we wrestle against worldly governors.
Hey brother where was that you got that Greek word the cosmo cloicus lol or whatever however you spell it, will you share that with me where you got that and how you attained that, cuz I'm a 1611 authorized addition of the King James reader, and I'm really getting tired of people trying to say that the Geneva Bible is the correct translation when it's not, I want to know where you got that word meaning the governors are the worldly rulers or in the Greek you know what you said almost halfway into video, and could you spell that correctly for me cuz I don't know how to spell that word that you said in Greek lol
First thing: Batman shirts only. Second thing--- I enjoy your work, thank you. Batman rules.
My goodness. Such a hubbbub about a series of verses from a writing most biblical scholars recognize as a forgery. So whatever this guy wrote can be discounted entirely for no other reason than he’s clearly a person who has no qualms about lying. Next subject! 😂
0:26-0:31 It was probably Marcion’s epistle to the laodiceans that he wrote in the mid-second century CE that was referred to in the muratorian canon. Like “Luke,” the epistle was likely doctored by orthodox scribes to sound more orthodox (basically whatever tertullian said, but the exact opposite).
Geneva -> Acts 12:4 Passover
KJV-> Acts 12:4
Easter
Thank you so much for clearing that up
Ok, so Mathew, there is another young man that is teaching that we should not be calling our Lord, Jesus, he is saying, we should call Him Yah, or Yahweh, Elohim. Is he misguided or what is the truth in this?
The world, Means a human's life. The end of the world is when one human dies. The 4 Angels standing at the 4 corners Is the great distance Of loss In 4 areas. This is the depiction of the world, A Circle with the human in the center
So which is the version of the Bible I'm supposed to read? Some people say Geneva, then some say King James. I thought that was censored.
3:16 "Hmm.... shocked hair."

How are you okay with adding and removing text from the Bible?
She seems to have forgotten Romans 13:1.
What do you think is the best original test Dan..
Thank you.
"God's word"
That pretty much all she needed to say.
Everything attributed to Jesus was written by other people at later times.
Everything attributed to God in the Hebrew bible is written by men.
There is not anything that came from gods mouth that did not come from men's minds first.
There is literaturally not one syllable of one word that Yeshu of Nazara said that came originally from his mouth, everything we have about Jesus was first written in greek. Even the letters of Paul, all greek. The gospel of Tomas, greek or coptic.
Thanks for this! What would you say is the most accurate word for word translation from the original texts to English?
I have no desire to delve deeper into this creator's ramblings, but I'll betcha dollars to doughnuts she attributes these changes in the text to a dark conspiracy.
It always crack me up when people think the word of God would be in English 🤣🤣🤣
A King James-only apologist once gave me an article as to why only the KJV was the word of God. It's sole reasoning was that the preface to the KJV claimed it was written in "the language of the Holy Spirit". That was it. This article literally claimed that the KJV was inspired in a way that the earlier Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin texts weren't, and even went so far as to claim that God had no regard for "the originals" because now we have the KJV.
@@NewhamMatt yeah kjv only churches are confusing to me. The translation is inspired but the original is not 🤔🥴🫠
The authors of the KJV and the time period the authors lived in is not something that will ever be replicated. They were the literature Einsteins of the time.
While I won’t defend the kjv to the point where I would say it’s 100% perfect, I will say that modern versions are corrupted being that they are copyrighted (unlike crown copyright the KJV holds, theirs is about making money). How many editions is the NIV on? So this is the word of God. No wait next year now this one is buy this one. No wait next year how about this one?
God said his word is preserved for all generations. We only call it the King James Version as a modern thing to distinguish it from other versions. For 400 years it was commonly referred to as “The Bible”. Because that was the common bible.
Modern versions take out the deity of Christ. They changed “saved” to “being saved”. They change “God created” to “God is creating” to conform with Darwinianism. The Bible changes with the times similar to the Mormon doctrine that changed and took out it’s racist parts to conform with the times. Not for me, what God says will never change in my church no matter how many laws the alphabet gang try to change. Reprobate doctrine has been removed from the church.
Look at the state of the church in America. What’s the association? Luke warm preaching and corrupt versions.
The devil has subtly replaced the double edged sword with a butter knife and many Christian’s will never know. It’s kinda hard to know when you’re not on the mission field. That’s where you find out the butter knife don’t cut too well.
Also keep in mind English is the most important language right now for the spiritual war. No other churches send missionaries across the globe to risk their lives like the English speaking Christian churches do. And right now English is the language everyone wants to speak. That’s why so many countries their children learn English natively Asian countries Indian African. I believe that is all Gods plan and has to do with our missionaries.
@@latenttweet u know the kjv has been updated to. Also it was made to be a conservative response to the bishops Bible. Read the preface to the kjv and they will tell you their goal
@@latenttweet have you ever heard of the Catholic Church?? You do know they send out missionaries and their main language is Latin not English. You think they’re reading the Bible in English in all the Spanish speaking Catholic countries?? And the kjv want the most popular when it first came out it wasn’t until much later it became the most popular English version
If I read "Tho shall not kill" instead of "Tho shall not murder" in a Bible I have to question what the translators are doing.
Dan, love your presentations!
In this one you seemed to be very short and almost upset at her.
Perhaps my brain over-thinking your words & reaction
Im not readint the bible until the lord tells me in my heart i have the right one in my hands, i just picked up a bible not knowing its a king james version ,earlier in the month i seen a video of someone explaing that the king james version isnt accurate and if i google it , it says he voices hus own beliefs which is NOT something GOD follows by , , who knows what if anyone of of these authors strayed from the word of god, im not making excuses , im just saying if im gonna read the word of god it better be accurate cause whats the point?
Jeremiah 10: The GREAT GOD
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
An omnipotent (per Christianity, not Bible) god can get its truth stolen? 🤔
Okay cool. You spit out the entire history, with some translations, about the verse. But, all the previous versions seemed to say something similar. And then it just disappears? Cool history but you didn't really answer the question. Why was it removed?
You realize showing all these versions of the Bible and the changes made sure throws any of this being really God's word into extreme doubt. Why would a supreme being that is all-powerful allow all kinds of men to corrupt his word at all. It's all stupid.
