10 Changes Made to the Bible (Part 1 of 2)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- Hello there guys! This video will be an in-depth examination of how our modern Bible was created and written and how it differs from the ancient texts of thousands of years ago. You will learn how the Bible has been "changed" or "altered" over time and what these changes mean and why they were made - everything from Goliath's Height to Jesus's sayings.
Hope you enjoy and learn something new!
Edit:
I have since realized that a significant amount of the information in this video should be more properly cited to their original authors, to avoid taking credit for their hard work.
Much of this video would not have been possible without the research of Biblical scholar Bart D. Ehrman across his various works and lectures and I have since recognized that portions relied on him a little too much.
Here are some points where I should have quoted authors instead of paraphrasing or re-wording them.

11:32 (Ehrman, Misquoating Jesus, 2005, pg. 103)

"I am a peaceful man" google translated from english to latin to greek to hebrew to greek to latin to english is "I have an airplane ticket"
I tried this and I got “For peace”
So the part where Jesus goes on an airplane to the Bahama’s is fake??? 😳
I tried the same, I got this: "I am a man of peace."
I got "go in peace"
I got i am a man of peace

More legacy then I'll ever manage to leave, I'm sure!
today people are for less faults in tv culture!

Could be worse, could be because you sold bad quality copper
@@lordmagot And kept all of the customer complaints in your house...
@@darthzaida1881: "More legacy then I'll ever manage to leave, I'm sure!" -- The vast majority of man will never, ever be known after their death. And according to one historian of ancient times, that means you didn't exist!
Sidenote: The story of David and Goliath leaves out that David did the prehistoric equivalent of bring a gun to a knife fight. When even a moderately skilled person uses a sling you can hear it break the sound barrier. The rocks move at over 200 km/h, there's an account of the Romans in 123 BC being repelled by slingers at a port landing, having to retreat due to hull damage, armor their ships and go back.
That scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones just pulls out his gun and shoots the guy? David is Indiana Jones in that scene.
Didn't really leave it out as most people in ancient times would have known that. It's more about a poor boy defeating a wealthy warrior elite.
@@christophersnedeker yeah they would have, but you and I both know that's not the modern take on the tale.
200 kph sound barrier...hmmmm
@@jamesfriesen5576 read it again, the sling does the snap, same as a tip of the whip, the rocks go 200kph(citation needed?)
Baeleric slingers were snipers. Thank you for making this point. The average speed of a solid rock moving at 100+ mph was deadly. They started using slings as soon as they could walk. That was the tool of the trade for herdsmen and was given as much importance as horse handling was. Not the range and accuracy of a bow, but when you are dead from a rock or dead from an arrow it doesn't really matter at that point.
i grew up in the Australian Presbyterian church. We were encouraged to learn the bible, and question translations. We were also ecouraged to know the difference between a story used to teach and actual one used to relate history...
I was taught you must believe, proof is unnecessary....
but still you're told that the Bible is the word of god, huh? so they do realise the book is plain wrong when talking about history, dates, years, it's wrong about biology and space, but still it's the best book from all existing ones, right?..
@@kwakagreg The bible itself says to study and show your proof for faith. Who ever said to just believe and not seek truth and study all things is wrong. If someone makes a truth statement or something illogical see what the bible says instead.
@@joeshabe What exactly is the bible wrong about? You’re saying something is wrong without giving an example of whats wrong, it holds no grounds and is a baseless accusation.
Yes so did I and was told at about 13 to stop asking so many questions and asking for proof to just believe it.....I must have faith, it was not for us to know all.....I was disruptive

5:28 this is misleading. These are not strictly translations of translations. While some bibles will maintain a lineage such as this, the manuscripts that are used for the original translations are still consulted abd used to translate directly from when needed. It isn't a translation of a translation of a translation, they are still using the starting manuscripts to ensure accuracy.

@@stevebehindlightshe's basically saying the Bible is a translation of a translation when it's not true
The Greek text is the LXX. The Masoretic text is an edited Hebrew text done with certain goals: addition of vowel points to the consonants; choice from among Hebrew variant readings to help in debates with Christian apologists; standardization of the Hebrew text.

It's very difficult (for me at least) that there are American Congressmen who believe that the first Bible was written in English. That's extreme ignorance...
maybe the kingjamesbible XD
One truth I learnt from life is that people whom we believe to be the most learned people, including scholars, can be wildly, blatantly ignorant when asked anything not sitting in their field. My PhD mentor, a very famous guy, was with me during a trip to Rome. When visiting the Castle San Angelo, he looked at metal poles that were used to hold marble blocks, which were original and still intact, and said: "That's not historical. Romans didn't know metallurgy." No, I am not kidding. He actually said that. I was so flabbergasted that for long minutes, I tried to figure out how someone so highly considered could believe such insane things. Part of my apprenticeship.
I just thought it was weird to for Trey to call Ted Cruz a congressman. It's a weird thing to call a senator
christian nationalists literally think jesus was the same nationality as them
@@raminagrobis6112 Indeed, we are only knowledge on a handful of things, there are little to few people in this world who are good at everything they do or say, most of us only do good on certain things
James I told his translators to use the “Bishops Bible” as their primary source. He wanted a version to replace the Geneva Bible, which had notes throughout explaining the text.
I’d be interested in your opinion of the “best” Bible. For me, it’s the Douay Rheims. Way too much of a gap without the books of Maccabee’s, Judith, etc. I could read the Vulgate given a Latin dictionary and several months to struggle with it, but what’s the point?
People have no idea how painstaking it is to put something like this together. It's a lot of serious work.

In the journey of life, knowing that God goes ahead of us, stands beside us, and walks behind us is a source of unwavering strength. Let's embrace each day with confidence, knowing that we are never alone. Amen. 🌟🙏
Amen, and also, whatever God ordain, men can change their minds, their attitude toward it, but they can't stop, or alter God master plan, because God eternal, and He holds all power in both the spiritual, and physical realm .
Why does God provide evil? Why does God not provide for the innocents? Why were all but 4 gospels suppressed?
@@philipliethen519 it's typical for humans to ask those questions, because we always fail to take responsibility for our own actions, and sometimes push the limits, and when it doesn't work in our favor, we complain, God is of freewill, he does whatever he wants, but he is perfect, and he made us with freewill, but because he is the creator, he has objectives that he sets for us to fallow, and when they are violated their is consequence , now if he did made us as robots, and program us only to do what he desires of us, then we would say he is unfair, and a slave master, not to given us a choice, to act on our own will, but the good thing is, he grants us grace, and mercy, grace is to provide us with the forgiveness that we don't truly deserve, while mercy is to save us from the penalties of what we deserve, because of our sinful, and rebellious actions, and we don't need four gospel to save us, Matthew chapter 5, 6, and 7, is enough, the Sermon on the Mount of olive, that is the condition of the heavenly kingdom principles, which is the difference from the Earthly system that is full of hatred, evil, envy, unforgivenss, Greed, pride, racism, murder, and this system will soon pass away, but to them that fallow after the will of God, will escape from the judgement of destruction.
@@philipliethen519 "At first it might seem that if God created all things, then evil must have been created by God. However, evil is not a “thing” like a rock or electricity. You cannot have a jar of evil. Evil has no existence of its own; it is really the absence of good. For example, holes are real but they only exist in something else. We call the absence of dirt a hole, but it cannot be separated from the dirt. So when God created, it is true that all He created was good. One of the good things God made was creatures who had the freedom to choose good. In order to have a real choice, God had to allow there to be something besides good to choose. So, God allowed these free angels and humans to choose good or reject good (evil). When a bad relationship exists between two good things we call that evil, but it does not become a “thing” that required God to create it.Perhaps a further illustration will help. If a person is asked, “Does cold exist?” the answer would likely be “yes.” However, this is incorrect. Cold does not exist. Cold is the absence of heat. Similarly, darkness does not exist; it is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good, or better, evil is the absence of God. God did not have to create evil, but rather only allow for the absence of good."
"God did not create evil, but He does allow evil. If God had not allowed for the possibility of evil, both mankind and angels would be serving God out of obligation, not choice. He did not want “robots” that simply did what He wanted them to do because of their “programming.” God allowed for the possibility of evil so that we could genuinely have a free will and choose whether or not we wanted to serve Him." www.gotquestions.org/did-God-create-evil.html

I come back and re-watch this video and part 2 all the time. This is the kind of information I've craved since a child. Thank you for such amazing work. I can't even imagine the sheer research you did for this video. It's incredibly admirable.
What these people don't teach just like today we have different denominations who write their own version of the Bible they had them existing 1800 plus years ago hence why you find different texts. The Torah and the old testament are basically the same. The new testament be what version it be all testify about Jesus Christ and who He say He is. I am a king James version believer God will not corrupt His finally word. I learn this after I died in 1990 came back to life believing in something different than what I was thought knowing the truth for it set me free the day I came back to life after dying. I had stage 4 osteosarcoma cancer. That day I was totally heal never took medication since. Jesus Christ is Lord. Hope the same way the Holy Spirit lead me to know the truth He will lead you as well. Have a glorious and bless day.
@@angelgoindoo4518no at the beginning I’m pretty sure he explicitly stated that there are multiple different versions of the bible from different communities and time periods and that it’s not one linear path. Like he very explicitly stated this, repeats it throughout the bible, and shows a graph that’s a web of how all the different versions are connected. Granted this graph is just for the old testament but he says the new testament is in the same situation
It's funny, how some people forget that Jesus was middle eastern.

It is worth noting, there is a big difference between "the earliest copy" and "the earliest surviving copy of which we're aware". It is hard to infer too much from what has survived today.
I think he talked about that
It's like some vids: "This is the earliest [insert ancient item] in the world!" No, it's just the earliest one that e know about at the moment. As science progresses, the "earliest" will get pushed further and further back.

King James the Second, is the bible that we use. One thing I remember being told that was changed was, "Thou shalt not kill", used to be, "Thou shalt not kill illegally". At least they previously admitted to supporting WAR as Legal Killing. I was taught that the current bible is SOME of the books of religion that were available in the far distant past. Several were left out, unknown at this time why.
The word is murder. Premeditated murder, not kill.

*"4. The Reliability of the New Testament (Authorship & Dating)"* by Inspiring Philosophy
Edit : Since there is popular demand : This is how to know who wrote the gospels.
1- John
John is a direct eyewitness. And he faithfully gives a detailed account.
An easy way to identify John as the author of the Gospel of John is through contemporary witnesses. One of thoses witnesses is Polycarp, John's disciple, who identifies John as the author of the book of John.
John also speaks in the first person and identifies himself multiples times in the book.
--- "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling *AMONG US.* *WE have seen* his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1:14)
At the end of the Gospel of John, John identifies himself in the first person :
--- "Peter turned and saw that *the disciple whom Jesus loved* (John) was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)... *This is the DISCIPLE who testifies to these things and WHO WROTE THEM DOWN.* *WE KNOW* that his testimony is true."
John 21:24
John's words 'WE know that HIS testimony is true" while putting himself in the "WE", is a clear proof of what I was saying up there, that he was purposely avoiding the first person, to show that it's not about him, and that it's about and authoriative, true and attested account of what happened.
John had a closer relationship with Jesus than any of the other disciples. Jesus and John were essentially “best friends.” Jesus entrusted John with the care of His mother, gave John the vision of the transfiguration, allowed John to witness His most amazing miracles, and later gave John the Book of Revelation
John 21;24 claims authorship of the gospel by the "Beloved Disciple". If the "Beloved Disciple". A study of the New Testament, the other Gospels, the letters of John and the book of Revalations, clearly points to John the disciple as the one who is called the Beloved Disciple. It's no brainer.
www.gotquestions.org/disciple-whom-Jesus-loved.html
John always identifies himself that way in the Gospel of John, because he knows he is writing a book about the story of Jesus, the Son of God, and he is the closest to Jesus, so he must be humble and objective, in order to write an authoritative book.
"Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing *a sudden flow of blood and water.* The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe."
John 19:34-35
"After the spear was thrust into Jesus' side out came what appeared to be blood and water [19:34]. Today we know that a crucified person might have a watery fluid gather in the sac around the heart called the *pericardium.* John would not have known of this medical condition, and could not have recorded this phenomenon unless he was an eyewitness or had access to eyewitness testimony."
- Craig Blomberg, Historical Reliability Of John's Gospel"
I bet you never heard of these passages before.
2- Luke
Luke is not a direct eyewitness as he said it himself. Luke, while not an eyewitness, claims to have constructed his book from eye witnesses sources. Luke is not a Disciple of Jesus. Luke is a companion of Paul.
So it's normal if Luke doesn't say "WE" as John said. But he does speak in the first person and from the book of Acts and the letters of Paul, we easily identify Luke as the author of the Gospel.
Luke said :
--- "Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since *I myself* _have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught._
Luke 1:1-4
Luke excludes himself from those who were eyewitnesses of Christ’s ministry. He indicates participation in the Pauline mission by the use of the first person in the “we” sections of Acts. They suggest that Luke shared in instructing persons in the Christian message and possibly in performing miraculous healings.
References of Luke in the Pauline Letters has regarded him as a very educated physician and a Gentile, and Paul indicates also he was with him on several missionary journeys, matching the "WE" passages of Luke in the books of Acts. Don't forget the book of Acts is an extension/continuation of the Gospel of Luke.
And this is also direct proof* that the Gospels were already written even before Paul wrote this letter to the Galatians, because before Luke mentioned the meeting of Paul and the disciples in Jerusalem in the books of Acts, he already wrote before that the "Gospel of Luke" very well before 70 AD. And Luke did not tell us how Paul died in the book of Acts, that means Paul was still alive when Luke wrote the his his adventures with Paul and the Acts of the disciples.
I the beginning of "Acts", Luke writes :
" *In my former book* , Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen." - Luke in the book of Acts.
3- Mark
The bookendjng of mentions of Peter in Mark's gospel is
called an inclusio. This is a literary device that denote an eyewitness source. (The Apostle is the first disciple mentioned in Mark and the last one mentioned after the Resurrection in Mk 16:7).
Biblical ethics in both Testaments called for multiple witnesses to be retained for testing truth claims (Deut 19:15) Also, the principle of giving a testimony orconfession was a virtue of the early church. It wound be difficult to persuade Jews if Sinai teaching was ignored or if they were shown to be men of poor character. '
According to the 2nd-century theologian Irenaeus, Papias had known the Apostle John. Pappias, quoted by Eusebius, explained that "Mark became Peter's intetpretet and wrote accurately all he remembered". This is Papias quoting presumably the Apostle John ! So your Trey got nothing on Pappias who knew John himself. So if Pappias tell you that Mark and Peter wrote the Gospel of Mark, then Trey is a liar.
So Mark, writing as Peter's interpreter writes his account matter-of-factly with details that seem like on-the-scene recollections. Examples: Mark 8;23-27 or 5;2-5.
Scholar and historian Colin Hemer identified 84 facts in the last 16chapters of the Book of Acts. Items included deal with correctlynamed ports, correct languages used, landmarks, political titles, etc. Things that would be known by those who were there. Those in the know without access to Google or maps.
John also mentions numerous historical details that would only be known by a personnal witness living at that time, details possibly irrelevant to a later audience. John correctly described the Pool of Bethesda as having five porticoes. The pool unearthed, critics discovered that they were indeed five.
4- Matthew
- Patristic tradition is unanimous that the author is the Apostle Matthew.
- The earliest manuscripts that we have of Matthew are titled "The Gospel according to Matthew" where it is appropriateto have one. There are no untitled manuscripts where a title is appropriate.
- As a book universally ascribed to Matthew, to name anyone else as author is to affnm that the true author o'f'tAe gospel was forgotten in a comparatively short amount of time (50 years).
- The Apostle Matthew, as a tax collector, needed to be fluent in Aramaic and Greek.
- The Gospel of Matthew contains more mentions of financial transactions than either of the other Synoptic Gospels. A solid reason to consider a tax collector as the author.
- The Apostle Matthew was not a member of Jesus' inner circle and a relatively unknown entity in scripture. If one desired to make up a title for one otjne gospels, Matthew, instead of Peter or James (brother ot John), would be an unlikely choice.

I grew up in Mexico and I went to a Catholic elementary school. When I was in middle school they made several changes to the Catholic bible in Spanish, which bothered me because I was raised to believe every element in the bible was there for a reason.
One of the changes was in John's gospel, they changed from "In the beginning there was the verb" to "In the beginning there was the word". I remember the priest at church saying that the change was correct because Greek, unlike Spanish, was more precise and one word has only one meaning, so the word "logos" had one, and only one meaning. At the same time in school I was learning that the word logos had many meanings and it was the source of "logic" as it use of "reasoning" or "thinking", and the source of the word "biology" where "logos" meant "science of", "knowledge of", "study of", "about of". I was expecting some of the adults raising their voice to correct the priest, but they either didn't bothered, or worse, they believed him.
Most of the changes weren't major, but I didn't see anyone else mentioning in public any argument for or against any of the changes, just an attitude of "this is what we believe now"
And Jesus spoke Aramaic now imagine how many changes took place in the Greek language itself
The WORD in John 1 is a verb. It doesnt become a noun until its formed or begotten in you as a son of God. James 1:18, I Peter 1:3, Romans 1:3-4 give important evidence. Tyndalls' translation actually got it right when the WORD was translated as "IT" and not "him". There are many pivotal errors like this that led the church congregations into apostasy of worshipping a man as God Almighty. The abomination and strong delusion we were warned about.
The 1st commandment never changed to include anyone but the Father Alone.
Deut 13 is a very good chapter to read. as is Jer 16:19-21 which clearly states that at the end of the age during our affliction, we will discover we were lied to by our fathers. That prophecy is happening now just like it says.
TruthShockTv on TH-cam tells more changes

Bruh why the Bible didn't say that Jesus was a part of the Steel Ball Run
Cuz that happened after the bible
They didn't mention it cuz it would've been spoilers.
When they tried to explain who shot Johnny Joestar, it was too complicated. They cut it out because most of the medieval peasants didn't take any napkins.
So the bible 2 is steel ball run
It's a spin-off
It doesn’t matter how many versions you look at. The issue is to read and study the Bible. Most people try to avoid this.
What kind of logic is that... different versions equal to a different context. Also if there are many versions of the Bible, which of them should a christian use to rely on and read in the first place. Also if the authors are unknown, how are you supposed to trust if those are the words of Jesus himself. Add the fact that the earliest manuscripts are 300 years after Jesus and in greek.. that's putting a big leap of faith in something where the evidence is speaking against it.
That's like you writing a letter in english and in 300 years a chinese person writes a letter in chinese saying it's from you... doesn't make sense
@@flashhtony2948 your 100% incorrect on this statement.
The Bible has still been preserved. Even though different translations use different wordage to suite a specific audience doesn’t mean that the Bible is inaccurate because in every Bible the main point of it is to prove that Jesus is the messiah. Thus meaning that all the Bible’s still are preserved because they all push that ONE MESSAGE

As a person who grew up in the church but has since fallen away from it, I find Biblical history to be absolutely fascinating. It's like everything I was taught when I was young is either misfounded or outright historical revisionism.
I find that there's a defining reason a lot of people leave the Church, It's so they can justify pulling little "pranks" on their friends that are more like assault.
Trust me, I used to think that harassing people was "freedom".
Jesus for life.
Bee your experience is not universal
The funny thing is, my bible teacher from the Christian school I went to in 8th grade was strongly against historical revisionism. We had multiple lessons talking specifically about how society has revised historical events, and how that relates to Christianity. Yet he never once mentioned the historical revisionism of the bible, but instead claimed that it’s all God’s original word and said we should follow everything in the bible literally
@@SweetTodd what
My mother raised me to be vaguely aware of the revisionism (admittedly I’m Jewish so this applies to the Old Testament for me). Not aware of the exact revisions but with a vague idea that it wasn’t the original text. She is an archeology nerd. My synagogue usually didn’t take the words literally but instead as metaphors for how we should be nice to others and stuff. I know of people who step away from churches and synagogues but still have faith (just not in the texts). It’s always surprised me how few people knew about the translation errors since I figured people understood that people (who like anyone else) make mistakes while translating. It is genuinely shocking how some people try to force people new to the faith to believe that the text is literal (because metaphors didn’t exist in ancient times or something 😒). I understand why it works when someone is introduced to the literal interpretation while they are young but it just seems really shady that some people seem to be trying to keep people from knowing about the revisions. It’s not common knowledge despite it being important information in enlightening people to your faith. Sorry for rambling but it really bugs me when people try to misinform people on purpose.
Great vid
great video!
You know it's sad how it's the actual religious people who seem to be unwilling to analyze the history of their holy texts for changes, because you would think they would be the ones who would most want to go back, re-analyze everything, and create a new version of the Bible that is closest to God's word and original intent.
Exactly. Unfortunately what is taught in churches is to believe without question. Not only do we grow as people by challenging our beliefs, not challenging them and blindly following is a recipe for being manipulated.
Well, no. The really religious people are more than willing to analyze the Bible truthfully. The more religious they started, the deeper they went. Then they realize it's all crap and fall out of religion. Bart Ehrman is the perfect example of this.

This makes me appreciate one aspect of Islam I always liked anyway: you're not supposed to translate the Quran. The original Arabic text is believed to be the literal word of God as given to mohammed, not for any special reason other than that's what the prophet spoke. Translating it makes it NOT the word of God anymore, and while helpful for non speakers of Arabic, a quran in English for example is technically not a quran. Doesnt make their book any more or less factual or convincing, it's just cool in a historical context to still have the absolute original text of such a massively important religion.

In my discussions about the Bible with other believers, i am sometimes attacked for even suggesting the Bible has errors, and that at one time it was correct as it came originally.
I also believe in Jesus but not the doctrine of inerrancy, I came to that conclusion from spoting self contradictions in the text. I was following a cycle of finding a contradiction, leaving the faith, finding a way to reconcile it and rejoining. I was on the unbelieving part of the cycle when an event happened in my life that made me realize I still deep down believed in the gospel. There are actually a couple Christian authors I respect that don't/didn't believe in inerrancy.
Thank you for including citations. Everyone should be required to do this.
You should, but the Wiki isn't a good source. It is often half right, half sourced, & can be altered one day, corrected the next. So, you might site it as a work, then when I check it to verify that, you are wrong, as it now states something different. And I don't mean a few words off, I mean complete changing of meaning. The wiki isn't a legitimate source for this reason alone.
Second, I wonder if he got some of those other quotes from the wiki also, not the original source. In that case, his cited source is incorrect, but should be the wiki citing the source so you know where he got it vs where it originates. That is an issue.
Example (not saying it is real). His Quoting Bart. This would be legitimate if he got it from that book, but what if he got that quote from the wiki? Then it is an improper citation & you would have to check the quote against the book to know that. As presented, it would have be directly from the book or incorrect.
So let's say I did check the book & it's fine? Good. I can go forth happy that the information is legitimate.
What if I didn't have the book or access to it, but know his quote is on the wiki, then what? Since he used the wiki, it is reasonable to assume he didn't have the book, but I couldn't conclude that, since the wiki can be changed. So I end up saying I don't know, but I trust this guy because of his other citations & presentation. This is given it isn't just a synonym change, because that isn't of interest unless you are professionally doing the work.
There is the problem. Just the introduction of the wiki as a source causes issues. Maybe he is honest, but doesn't know. Maybe it came from the wiki & is wrong. Maybe he had the book & Bart is the source. I just have to end like Bart there. If it fails to jive I have to deny & if it jives maybe it is true.
This isn't properly sourced even if properly cited. The Bible is markedly different in that though. I felt that needed saying.
Edit: Just talking about his cite in the video, as a place to find things, not his list in the description.

@Wade Haden - Master Jedi Engineer Goth Atheism is a claim that I can't particularly sympathize with for being such an arrogant claim. I particularly respect agnostics however because they simply do not know, atheists on the other hand completely deny anything outside the material world including the idea of a god which is completely unsupported by things like quantum physics. It's interesting that you speak of metaphysics... because I wrote an essay breaking down the evidence for god with quantum physics and neuroscience called the quantum god. You might find it interesting, you also might have to challenge some presuppositions you may have about reality being entirely material, the consensus of physicists agree to the idea that the material world is a fiction of conscious observers so you might have difficulty with that aspect but it is quite fascinating.
Keegan • to me, god may or may not exist, and no it is not because I “do not know,” it is because there is nothing that can prove or disprove the existence of a god. I don’t think I’ll ever believe in a god(s) until I see them with my own eyes.
@@juno7424 I'd agree with the first half of your statement, and by definition, may or may not exist is a netrual ground, you are fundamentally claiming that you are not convinced of either sides and reject both, you are not sure. The idea that you cannot prove or disprove god is simply a false dichotomy of evidences since not all evidence can be found on a purely scientific basis, god by definition cannot be "proven" with the scientific method because god exists outside the material world, so nothing can be used as a control, there are many other forms of evidence that can apply to god however like logical or empirical reasoning in ways of explaining the universe, assuming the only evidence that is useful is scientific evidence is faulty by all measures.

So a workplace arguement was left in one of the oldest bibles
ur pfp is cute
A workplace argument on how the text had been altered in the "unchanging text of god". This is obvious proof that the texts are not "Unchanged through the ages" as some people argue. Besides it was in a text later used to put the bible together. In those days there was nothing that can be called a bible yet, just collection off different text collected by the church. No one knows how many of those texts were left out of what became the bible, but we know it was a LOT of them.
I want to respectfully point out that a substantial amount of scholarship disagrees with this video on the authorship of the gospel. The fact that the oldest copies of the gospels do not include the names is absolutely normal. Hardly any copies of literary work from that period names its author. And the fact the letters themselves do not contain the name of the author isn't surprising at all. How many books have you read that tell you, within the body of the text itself, who wrote them? Exactly.
Instead, we have abundant early church attestation (I'm talking second century) most everybody was in agreement that Matthew was the work of Matthew (who would have been literate in Hebrew and Latin, so why is Greek surprising), Luke (a doctor, who likely was highly literate), Mark (Peter's scribe, so also literate), and John (who writes in a very simplistic Greek, implying it was his second language). Paul, another Biblical author, repeatedly informs those receiving his letters that he isn't actually writing them, but dictating them to his scribe. Why would this also not be a safe assumption for the gospel writers?
Furthermore, if someone were to invent the authorship of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, and Luke would make no sense. Someone pretending to be an eyewitness, or somebody pretending to know who the eyewitness was would have picked Peter, James, or John before the others. The fact they picked the rarely mentioned (outside of his own book) Matthew, the unnamed (except in Paul's letters) Luke, and the even more absent Mark is a strong indicator that they *did* know who the authors really were.
The conclusion that the gospels were the work of anonymous authors is based only on half-baked textual criticism. They have their reasons, yes, but those reasons do not instantly lead to the conclusion, they only make the conclusion probable. What most likely happened, using Luke as an example, is that the Theophilus addressed in the first verses received two scrolls addressed to him by Luke, his friend, containing the story of the gospel and the Acts. Luke's signature would have been on the packaging, or on the outside of the scroll, or perhaps a seal upon it, and as such it was not included in the text itself. The scroll would have circulated, along with the word of mouth attestation that Luke had written it, as copies were made and distributed. This word of mouth testimony became widespread enough that multiple church fathers, from Lyon to Alexandria to Jerusalem, could agree upon it and declare officially that it was indeed the work of Luke.
The problem with declaring them anonymous, and worse, that they were "definitely not" written by the authors attributed to them, is that this is based on 1. an argument from silence, and 2. based entirely on the textual contents of the documents, and *nothing else,* ignoring extratextual evidence to the contrary.
It's *possible* they were not written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but the weight of evidence leans the other way. There is room for skepticism, but not that much.
That said, as a Christian Bible teacher, this video is otherwise very well researched, and friendly to the faith. I will recommend it in my future Bible lessons.
Edit: I forgot to mention that narrating in the third person, even when the story is about, or involves the author, was an extremely common practice of the day. Even Josephus (yes, that Josephus) was known to do it.
It is important to remember that even Bart Ehrman admits that the few changes or misstakes we do see dont change any thing of significance

False equivalency fallacy! Be careful your argument is anecdotal. The Bible was translated directly from the scrolls with teams of scholars and translators that cost millions of dollars. Don’t be fooled from smooth talking words.
Yes, and these are the "words of god"? More like the words of men, who despite being allegedly guided by the holy spirit, changed, omitted, amended the words of God. Errors errors everywhere
We still have Greek and Aramaic original Ridings that scholars use to make translations either understandable without much changing meaning, and other translations that are meant to be direct translations or almost word for word translations.
This is why we have our pastors and leaders in the church as trained professionals to disseminate the holy word of God. Russians, who were sent to the Gulag as religious prisoners because they are Christian pastors memorize the book of John, of course, not in the English version, but in the Russian version, which was translated from the originals as well as other translations. When this author says, do you believe me no I don’t believe him he uses words like gap that are code word for, misunderstanding and misrepresentation. He has misrepresenting history.

A resource that might be of interest -
Wikipedia has a good page called "List of New Testament Papyri", which lists all the know extent manuscripts, with their dates and further details. Sorry, I can't put a link but it's easy to find.
The earliest extent is the "Rylands Library Papyrus P52", a tiny fragment containing only 7 incomplete lines of text on each side. It is dated between 100-175 CE.
There are only 3 other papyri dating from the 2nd century and these are also just small fragments.
One must get into the 4th century before finding close to complete manuscripts. Codex Sinaiticus is probably the earliest and may have been created on commission by Emperor Constantine.
Were any of the prophecies adjusted later, or any text filled in to make it appear the prophecies were fulfilled?
Not that i'm aware.
A simple google search were probably prove that out.
But my answer is no evidence.
During my confirmation in a conservative Christian church, we were also taught the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. Having seen National Geographic specials on the history of the Bible, I often brought up the fact that the bible we know is a translation of a translation. The minister eventually started asking us "Why can't there be any mistranslations in the bible?" when he was testing our understanding of what we'd learned. The correct answer was something to the effect of, "because they always used the best translation."
I thought that was pretty weak.
so do you believe in biblical inerrancy?
@@dr.autismgod3538 big nope
I do, after reading the bible in its original languages. If someone is too lazy to do that, he puts all his effort in "disproving" biblical innerancy
@@stamatissavvanis5862 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not
@@alexnelson7258 There is no doubt that there are so many changes throughout translations and copies, some explained here. However, the statement the Scripture makes that it itself is inerrant because it is the Word of God does hold up, as we can see even though the linguistic words have been changed, the underlying words and messages have not. All *teachings* have remained true to itself and agreed with all references across all books within and outside the Bible.
And yes, I agree, your minister's answer was pretty weak lol.
Wait, US senators tougth the bibble was written in english?...
Jesus Ramirez Romo well given how stupid US senators can be , it not that surprising.
Jesus Ramirez Romo yup, I’m pretty sure there was a Texas congresswoman who said “If English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough to the Texas board of education”
Well it's uszal for them.

There were a group of French monks convinced by a Peter Waldo to translate the Latin Bible to their common language (Franco-Provençal) some time around 1160, ~220 years before John Wycliffe translated it to English.
First and foremost, it's important to contextualize the sociocultural landscape of the Middle East in the first century, marked by a profound linguistic and cultural heterogeneity. Aramaic was the lingua franca in Judea, being the mother tongue of the apostles, which facilitated direct communication with the local populations. However, the Roman Empire, with Greek as the official language of the East, promoted extensive Hellenization of the regions under its dominion, making Greek a common language for trade, education, and public administration.
The New Testament, originally written in Koine Greek, serves as one of the main indications that the apostles were knowledgeable in Greek. This version of Greek, known for its simplicity and broad usage, was accessible to a vast range of the empire's population, including those regions far from the Greek cultural center. The choice of Greek as the language for the Christian sacred texts was not accidental but a strategic decision to reach a wider audience, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers.
Moreover, archaeological evidence, such as inscriptions and manuscripts found in regions of Palestine, indicates the presence of Greek in Jewish contexts, suggesting linguistic coexistence. These artifacts, alongside references to Greek schools and the use of Greek in Jewish funerary inscriptions, reinforce the idea that Greek was known and used by Jewish communities of the time.
The apostles' ability to communicate in Greek not only expanded the reach of their preachings but also facilitated intercultural dialogue and the dissemination of Christian teachings beyond Jewish borders, reaching Gentiles and converting them to Christianity. This is evidenced by the rapid expansion of Christianity in Hellenistic regions, and later, throughout the Roman Empire. 16:20
So you assume every edition used the exact anterior edition to "base their texts"??
Modern bible is the netflix adaption of anicent texts
that explains white jesus
Limey Lassen shouldn’t it be the opposite ?
That explains the poor quality and horrible nonsensical plot lol.
*beats Judas in the back of his head*
"LORD JESUS"
No, netflix adaptations are more accurate, the modern bible is the weird bootleg version
I really enjoy this series about the history of religious beliefs and how they've been changed and edited over time to fit the narratives of the society to which they belong.
@El-ahrairah holy spirit mate, I did not know about that one. Now that I have so much free time on my hands, I'm probably going to start reading up on this.
@El-ahrairah This error is much older than the King James Bible. It comes from an translation to Greek, where a Hebrew word that mostly means young woman (and sometimes virgin) was translated to a Greek word that mostly means virgin (and sometimes young girl). Maybe to match prophesies in the Old testament. Digital Hammurabi has a lot of videos on that topic.
The irony of that statement is that Christians are perhaps one of, if not the most reviled groups known to man. Just look at all the parodies of Christian literature around you, it's obvious that Christians are outcasts.
Not only that, it's even a prophesy in Mathew 5:11
@@SweetTodd Christians are the largest religious group on Earth, how are they then so reviled?
@@obsrvdsplash115 Lol, are you seriously telling me that there's too many Christians to be called oppressed? Please, women make up almost half of the world human population, and you wouldn't tell me they've never been oppressed throughout their existence.
One angle I heard was that the Ancient Greek religions had been on a downward spiral and that the Greeks were in need of a new less complex religion but still worked many of the old emotions into the new religion.
