Good morning, brother David Bercot. It's very refreshing and gratifying, hearing God's Word read and explained early in the morning. Welcome back and do not leave us, nor tire out. Jehovah God and Christ are using you and others like Eric Wilson (Mileti Vivlon), David &Vivian Aspinall, Michael Pfelker, among others, to nourish us spiritually. Stay safe and healthy. You are loved and very much appreciated. My hello to your dear wife and son. God bless. Amador, Kingdom Christian from sunny Puerto Rico.
I have been immensely blessed by Mr. Bercot's insight into and clarification of God's word. Hearing the viewpoint of early Christians has added to my understanding. Thank you so much. 😊

Inside myself I want to obey everything Christ Jesus says. At the same time I have to deal with my flesh fighting against the spirit the whole way it seems. Although Christ Jesus has lead me out of some great darkness I used to live in, not dealing with near as much I used to, sometimes my mind can be so sound it kind of freaks me out lol. I’m constantly talking to God about wanting to know Him more and that Christ Jesus be manifest in my life. If I do something that might make my heart feel condemned I take it straight to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our English translations are mostly based on either the majority/byzantine text (KJV and NKJV) and the Alexandrian (most of the rest). It is notable that the overwhelming majority of manuscripts are of the majority text, with Alexandrian text based mostly on 2 manuscripts (Codex Vaticanus and codex Sinaiticus).
Alexandrian was based on 45 texts where the Antioch texts were based on almost 5,000 texts. The alexandrian texts are Catholic Jesuit texts. Nearly all of your newer translations are flawed texts and many of them are nothing more than paraphrases. Even many of your KJV today if they're not based on the AV 1611 have some difficulties. No matter what pray for truth and discernment. Where this really matters is if you are a berean and doctrine matters to you.
The Jesuits were founded in the 1500s. The Alexandrian texts are far older than that. I believe the reason those texts are used is because they are older or from an older text tradition than the thousands of Byzantine texts. That being said, I am not a textual critic, so I may be wrong. -Lynn
@@SoundFaithChannel when I say Jesuits it's just a name for an order that has been around for a very very long time. It has just morphed through the centuries and millennia. I'm also talking about the underpinning of the "Catholic" scriptures. I have an excellent chart that I wish I could share with you here. If you are not up on the connections between the Jesuits the Freemasons the rosicrucians and the Catholic Church this probably all might not make sense at this point.
Maurice Robinson wrote "New Testament textual criticism: the case for Byzantine priority". This paper presents an academic case for the Byzantine text type being the most reliable witness of the original text. In contrast the Nestle-Aland text is based on a very small number of manuscripts from a small geographical area. (mostly Egypt) The Nestle-Aland is constantly being revised and updated, and is on the 28th edition. According to the Deutsche Bibel Gesellschaft, the organization behind the Nestle-Aland, "An international and interconfessional editorial board is currently preparing the 29th edition. It will bring many changes" With the critical text, one often gets the sense that we are constantly searching, revising, and buying new editions of the New Testament. With the Byzantine text family, the church has always had the text and the same text has been used, read, and applied for 2000 years.
I think the quote of John Chrysostom at 23:00 is from John Chrysostom's homily on Romans, homily 2, and writing and commenting on Romans 1:11. New advent has the translation of the quote this way "But when you hear of grace, think not that the reward of resolve on your part is thereby cast aside; for he speaks of grace, not to disparage the labor of resolve on your part, but to undermine the haughtiness of an insolent spirit." John Chrysostom homily 2 commenting on Romans 1:11
@@veritas399 sorry about the delay I got the answer from David and forgot to post it. “Oh, the reason you weren’t able to find a quote is that it is from Chrysostom‘s sermon on chapter 1 of Romans. When you said that you could not find it in the a NF, I assume that you meant in the set that contains Chrysostom sermons. Anyway, the quote is in volume 11 of the green series, page 345, column B. I have modernized the language a little bit.” He is answering why I could not find it.
I believe that God choses to only save by grace those that have works of faithfulness because those that are unwilling to be faithful prove they do not really want it very bad. They would actually be miserable in heaven with God and the faithful. And so why should God give a gift to someone that does not really want the gift?
The Textus Receptus (Latin for received text) is a from the majority/byzantine text type. According to Sean McDowell (son of apologist Josh McDowell) there are currently 5,856 extant handwritten Greek manuscripts, and another 18,130 ancient translations of the New Testament in Armenian, Latin, Syriac, etc. The earliest fragment of the New Testament is called P52, a credit card size fragment of gospel of John in Egypt written around 130 Ad. It is very notable that a copy of the gospel of John was in Egypt just 50 or so years after John wrote it in Ephesus.

I know this I’m constantly talking with God like a beggar everyday all day.
When is part 13? I'm dying to see it.
Maybe next week. Not sure! Sorry it should be soon though
I have it recorded I will see about getting it ready to post this week. Lord willing
@@SoundFaithChannel Good to hear!
Can anyone provide the reference for the Chrysostom quote at 23:00? I've searched online and cannot find it. Perhaps it was paraphrased?
I could not find it in my ANF set so I asked David. I will let you know when he gets back to me.
