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

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

[@davidwatkins2171]

@@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

*This video is full of errors* and his own opinions, it's not near the truth and not scientific at all. *Inspiring Philosophy* has a video on that subject, make sure to read it and *stop the misinformation.* *"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"

[@smooth2477]

And Jesus spoke Aramaic now imagine how many changes took place in the Greek language itself

[@RoseSharon7777]

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for including citations. Everyone should be required to do this.

[@mackdmara]

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.

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.

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.

I really appreciate your approach to this, not patronizing or belittling Christians. I loved to learn about all of this, and will certainly look for more. I believe Christians shouldn't be afraid to learn this, as at least so far none of these changes jeopardize the fundamental concept of the Gospel.

[@Zancibar]

I really, really don't want to give you any reason to stop investigating your beliefs, but how do you get to any fundamental concept in the Gospel. I haven't read the 60 something library that is the bible but from what I've read I do not see any concept they share unless the words GOD and GOOD count even when they are described as polar opposites. And just to clarify it's okay if you don't have an answer, it doesn't mean I "win" by default or anything childlish like that, I get that you're investigating for a reason.

@@Zancibar But remember the bible does not exist in isolation. While it contains the word of god, it has been compiled, edited, and studied by Christian scholars and the church for 2000 years . To understand it, it should be viewed from the lens of the teachings and doctrine of the church as well, not the texts alone. If you want to understand its message better, I would recommend watching people like Bishop Barron or other priests who's job it is to explain it.

[@tesouraia]

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

@@revan552 I'll put it simply.... Even if the Bible were true or not true, it doesn't matter. I'd rather choose to live the way Jesus taught me too because the world would be a better place if we just loved God and loved each other the way we're commanded to. Period. The problem is man is inherently evil, we are savage, animalistic, that's the flesh. We should live in the spirit and by that I mean controlling our bodies, our flesh. Mind over matter if you will. Again, whether Christianity is true or not, is besides the point. Strictly looking at it from a well being aspect it's great for the mind, body, and soul. Like let's look at it from a fasting and meditation aspect. Those things are good for the spirit regardless of religion or theological beliefs. I, however, just choose to meditate on God and the word of God. Meditation to me is nothing but prayer, thinking on the things of God and the mysteries of the universe. Fasting on the other hand allows me to overcome my flesh and curb that lustful appetite for evil. If Jesus were walking around today would people not confuse him for a yogi or guru or something of that nature?

Well done!! While I am a committed Christian, a follower of Jesus full of fallability, I appreciate a scholarly approach to this topic and not "selling" a Worldview. In terms of the GOSPEL writers I have leaned into this a fair amount and if these GOSPELS were not ACTUAL DISCIPLES, they were quite intimite with the Apostles John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew as well as being aquainted with Paul (formely Saul). There is excellent suporting documentation to what I mentioned with Biblical scholars. I didn't get the feeling you showed BIAS here, but its nearly impossible for human beings to REMOVE their personal bias. Thanks, very interesting!! I rest faily assured that the most important Biblical texts are fairly intact from a scholarly standpoint!! BTW... The 5 GOSPELS book written by people with an ATHIESTIC Worldview, intentionally tried to argue for much later authorship of the 4 GOSPELS, but without too much rigorous academic effort, its easy to determine the 5 GOSPELS writers were FAR MORE DRIVEN by their Worldview BIAS, than truthfully analylizing the GOSPELS to determine the MOST PROBABLE date they were written. I just taught a SECTION on this very topic and rest assured the GOSPELS were not written when the 5 GOSPELS authors suggested, but far earlier! As I mentioned KEY EVENTS like the FALL OF JERUSALEM and JEWISH TEMPLE of 70 AD wasn't mentioned in KEY early GOSPEL sources and Peter and Paul were clearly alive as well and this dates the GOSPELS much earlier so they are RELIABLE!!

Naturally this Athiest book is totally false and it's fairly easy to argue against their conclusions by pointing to the LACK of MENTION of the DESTRUCTION of THE JEWISH TEMPLE in AD 70 and using other excellent arguments to place the GOSPELS to dates that were certainly close to the DISCIPLES eye witness accounts.

During my confirmation in a conservative Christian church, we were also taught the doctrine of biblical inerrancy.

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.

The statement that the English Revised Version of the late 1800s is a revision of the King James version of 1611 misses the point that the modern versions began using the Alexandrian Greek text, while the KJV is the Byzantine text. Basically, the Byzantine text is fuller. Depending on one's perspective, the Alexandrian text omits or the Byzantine text adds quite a few words here and there, as well as whole clauses, verses, and even two long passages (Mark 16:9-20; John 7:53-8:11).

[@Andy_Mark]

The scripture's not inerrant. There's plenty that's debated. However, there's a whole lot more to be in awe of than there is to pick apart. Don't rob yourself of the opportunity to read it. Something that really helped me understand how it could possibly be accurate after so much time are the redundancies. You can't make non-trivial changes without someone comparing your translation to thousands of other known ancient scrolls. Ethiopian churches, for one, maintain scrolls that were written at a time when there would have still been living eye witnesses. The dead sea scrolls are thousands of years old. If compared to a modern-day translation, you'll find the accuracy is uncanny. Of course, when you're translating between eras and cultures and languages, people will disagree about some things. Read the Sermon on the Mount and think about how alien those ideas were at the time and how they are woven through the fabric of every society on earth today. Even if you never read a word, your life is completely different than it would have been had he not spoken those words.

This is a fair statement. There are 10s of thousands of original documents. I can empathize with any cynicism you may have. I've been on both sides in my life. It's a crazy thing to wrap your head around. But, so is the alternative. This universe is beyond our understanding. Both before and after I began believing that God is God for real, I read, listened, and watched everything I could get my hands on about existential type topics. I can make many logical defenses for why I believe intellectually, which I think had to be grasped before I could really begin to embrace it. But, if God reveals itself to you, you'll realize truth doesn't have the burden of proof and is not limited to your understanding. Don't miss the forrest for the trees. You don't have to turn your intellect off, to believe. But, you can't really find true faith with intellect alone. The other party has to participate. In scripture, Jesus says that God speaks to those who have "ears to hear." Which, I'm sure thousands of theologians have millions of ideas about, but I think it's just what it sounds like. Sometimes, it just lands differently-Like a light bulb moment in the heart. And, when it does, there's a feeling that someone else hit the switch.
