God, I love listening to genuine down-to-earth scholars! Daniel Wallace did not dissapoint. The manuscripts Daniel Wallace talks about can be viewed on his/the CSNTM website. Just because Bart Erhman's work is been mentioned (one of his first books which he wrote almost 20y ago as I'm typing this and 15 years at the time of the video's presentation) I'd like to point out that - after watching many hours and hours of personal interviews done with him by several different people - Bart Erhman admitted that since his first books were written, he has had changes of view or noticed an error here and there in some of his works. This is important to understand that further/continuous research can involve the change of mind due to "a (newly) found evidence". Which made me think that perhaps from a scholarly perspective, it therefore might not be a bad idea after f.e. a decade to contact the author before citing from his/her book, to see if something has changed. (not referring to Dr Daniel Wallace here tho) I'm glad to see that this professor who I do not know yet, aknowledges Bart in a (to me) rightful manner. To me that gives this professor credit as well! As a matter a fact, I only watched one interview done with this professor in which he elaborated on the different Bible translations and his own contribution to the NET Bible. Furthermore, I think he's doing great work in photographing all the manuscripts he can have access to and make it public to us for free! All this are indications to me that he could be considered a credible source to take into account and thanks to him and Bart's scholarly approach towards the Bible I got convinced into buying the NET Bible (2nd Ed) with 60.000 notes on the translation of the text, which gives unseen/unaccessible context to laymen people such as myself. A Bible translation that is fairly recent and the NET Bible team which whishes to be so openly accountable that they allow requests for changes by us, the readers (provides that the basis is justified) I can't wait to receive it :)

[@Rain-Dirt]

I'm not dissapointed by my NET Full notes edition. Is it a study Bible? Yes and no. My feel is that study Bibles tend to have a narrative going on, which is almost impossible to not have, but the NET Bible Full notes provides the potential for a larger freedom of judgement. It does not tell you how to interpret, it tells you why it was interpreted in a certain way. More options for criticism and adjustments! Imho it's important to every human - especially religious =>raised

The miracle of the preservation of God’s Word isn’t in its lack of manipulation. Rather, it is in the fact that, after every malevolent force in the world manipulating it at _every_ available opportunity; we *still* have just enough evidence and resources available to us in order to arrive at a reliable understanding of Truth.

@Greg W I have watched this video and a debate between Dan Wallace and Bart Ehrman, and I have learned some things: - "The percentage of change in the Bible was 2% during the 14 centuries in which we have manuscripts, although many of the first manuscripts that we have today were hidden during those centuries." - "The vast majority of New Testament scholars believe that not only is the wording of the autographs recoverable, but that we did recover it in most places." - "The reasons given by the skeptics for rejecting the New Testament are much stronger with the rejection of any other book in ancient history, so the existence of Aristotle, Greek philosophy, and everything on which we built our contemporary civilization will cease to exist." - "The New Testament is found in about a million patristic quotations. One or two of the fathers may have written their works before the writing of the New Testament itself was completed. Up to the year 250AD we had about 15 volumes of patristic commentaries on Romans alone. Many fathers wrote about the different manuscripts and their development in their era. - "150 years ago, we did not possess anything of what we have today. For nearly 100 years, German researchers believed that the Gospel of John was written after the year 160 AD, and they presented more than 2000 academic studies on it. Until a small fragment of 3 verses appeared in Egypt, dating back to between 100 AD and 150 AD made everything they said worthless. Bart Ehrman says: - "There is no major Christian doctrine based on a passage that has variants." - "If I or my Christian teacher Metzger tried to put our version as close as possible to the first text, we would not differ by more than 50 places" (out of about 137 thousand words).

[@chrispoet3885]

@Greg W My summary is that the New Testament has changed but only in a few words and sentences that do not affect the main doctrines. In the future, we will discover more manuscripts that bring us closer to the original text, but with changes that will not exceed 3% of the corrected text today.

[@HeroQuestFans]

a common problem online. I myself have even fallen victim when I thought I knew where a video was going, but later context proved me wrong on a long video. now if the video is six hours long (and multiple parts!), one can be forgiven, but still. (mine was less than an hour, iirc).

[@HeroQuestFans]

@hamid mansoor I haven't read this particular book, but did study the claims (that Jesus went to India and/or Japan) many years ago. these ideas are essentially based on garbled versions of very late legends (centuries after the New Testament was written), and are not reliable. the idea that Jesus survived crucifixion is a modern one, born out of the modernist/liberal Christian movement that tried to explain away miracles as naturalistic phenomenon to make it palatable to materialists. Islam declares that Jesus was not crucified, but that another was crucified in his place and it was miraculously made to appear that it happened. this too seems to be based on a garbled re-telling of a later Gnostic belief. certain Gnostics claimed (at least a century after Jesus' death, and many decades after the NT books were written) that Jesus Christ had no physical body (or that "Christ" was the divine being and "Jesus" was just his human shell) and that the divine being could not be killed and so he "laughed" at those crucifying him and floated away, leaving the fleshy "shell" to die. for Gnostics (the docetic version 2nd, 3rd century, denounced as heresy), the world of matter was the creation of a lesser, fallen god they called "the demiurge" and the true, Spiritual God had nothing to do with the Old Testament or the Creation. this "new" God was revealed first by Jesus, that the human race consisted of some people who were truly just animals, but some had a divine spark trapped in fleshy prison and only secret gnosis (knowledge) could free them to escape the body at death and become pure spirits to eventually reunite with the unknown spiritual God. it's nothing to do with ancient apostolic (1st century) Christianity. the Quran's view on Jesus is 7th century. hope that helps

[@HeroQuestFans]

@hamid mansoor sorry I can't promise I will. I have many other books that I'm way behind on reading. trust me I did explore the issue already. no amount of new data will change this because the earliest reports of Jesus going to India are based on LEGENDS that were written long after the NT. the basic idea is that the Christian missionaries found stories of Buddha. they liked some of it, and adapted it into a hagiography which became St. Barlaam and Josephat. others took this and stories they heard when traveling and put together a new theory that Jesus actually went to India. it gets intro strange territory. many have tried to come up with "alternative" Jesus stories over the centuries. in more modern times people have claimed to "channel" (supernaturally recall) stories from ancient figures and claim this is a first hand account of actual events. others have written speculative fiction that has been taken as fact. a good rule of thumb is that if you have a story that is first heard 1, 2, or 3 hundred years after the fact, and it contradicts the account that was written in the lifetimes of the participants that we already have.. it's probably going to be less reliable, even "made up." that doesn't mean we take everything at face value (historians don't operate that way), but we wouldn't take this story of Jesus surviving the crucifixion and going to India, or Japan, or France, etc. seriously. it's much easier to explain "similarities" in stories by showing that Christian missionaries went places, and looked for things that were similar, anything, in native stories, to make it easier to communicate their message to those people. and later modern people dissatisfied with traditional Christianity, were looking for any alternative version of Jesus that was more in keeping with their modern ideas, and modified those versions wherever they could find them. then later people saw those stories and thought they were legitimate contenders for the real historical Jesus. even secular historians agree Jesus died by crucifixion at the hands of the Romans in about 30-33 AD/CE outside of Jerusalem. the earliest Christian records report that afterward he rose from the dead, proving he was the Son of God in their belief (since God would not raise a false prophet or fake Messiah from the dead).

[@HeroQuestFans]

@hamid mansoor the arguments that Christ DID die on the cross are much stronger. crucifixion was not designed merely to torture, but to execute. there is an account in Josephus where he requested that three men who were being crucified be set free. one recovered, but the other two died. this did not happen in Jesus' case. the Gospel accounts are that he was tortured by lashing before the crucifixion, and at least one account is that he was stabbed in the side with a spear (which would have killed him, if he had still been alive by this point somehow). yes, Pilate marveled that Jesus was already dead (before the other two who were being executed with him) but the Romans had crucified thousands of people before this, they knew what they were doing. how did Jesus survive lying in the tomb for three days after? it's not as if he was given immediate medical attention like Josephus' unfortunate men? there was no time or opportunity for this. The Muslim claim is that God miraculously switched the bodies and with a supernatural illusion fooled everyone. this claim comes many centuries after the Gospels. the Gnostic claim was that he shed his body or never had a body to begin with and comes a century or two after the Gospels and is not exactly like the Muslim claim. the idea that somehow they accidentally left Jesus alive and he survived in the tomb and this fooled everyone into thinking he had been miraculously raised, defies belief.

[@HeroQuestFans]

@hamid mansoor if Jesus survived crucifixion naturalistically (the "swoon theory") nobody knew about it for at least a thousand years. the Gnostic and Muslim claims are that he was miraculously saved or spared the cross. historians are not confused on this issue, the consensus is that Jesus really lived and died by crucifixion under Pilate.

Maester Auron what makes you think the NT is for white people? Have you read the Bible? Who said God made any mistakes? Where do these assumptions of yours come from?

If your foundation is built on the rock of God’s Word, then you will never be fooled by the ways of the world, or the powers that seek to divide us. Have white people done innumerable evils while invoking the name of God? Yes! And they’re not the only ones! They will all be judged that much more harshly on the last day, for bearing false witness against the LORD’s name. You will be judged just the same as the rest, so I pray you turn away from your hate; nothing is gained by it. Racism begets racism, hate begets hate, but by the same way, love begets love. We can ALL be brothers and sisters, serving one another, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation that was always of God, that Jesus Christ and his apostles made known to all the world. The truths therein are eternal, and were always with God before mankind. I hope you look for truth, my brother. Until then, go with peace, and be blessed.

Reply: Well You can bury your head in the sand as much as you like......but sooner or later you will have to come up for air. No educated and informed person would hold a point of view like that which you have suggested. it will mislead others. . Remember You are also told by the the lord .....to love him with your heart & soul along with your mind ! That's when you will come to know that The Bible is the plagiarized work of around 40 anonymous writers who did not even know that their writings would be called " the Holy Bible". because all the Gospels were written anonymously, and none of the writers claims to be an eyewitness. Consider this: Names are attached to the titles of the Gospels ("the Gospel according to Matthew"), but these titles are later additions to the Gospels, provided by editors and scribes to inform readers ... the editors thought were the authorities behind the different versions. That the titles are not original to the Gospels themselves should be clear upon some simple reflection. Whoever wrote Matthew did not call it "The Gospel according to Matthew." The persons who gave it that title are telling you who, in their opinion, wrote it. Authors never title their books "according to." To this day nobody knows who wrote these works. Later much Later Some unknown hands collected the writings of these anonymous writers put them between hard covers and stuck the words "Holy Bible" on the cover? Who were these Guys ...." Nobody knows! Who gave them the Authority to call it Holy ? Nobody knows......though the current Bible has some reference to the "one true God" ....and some sermonizing .....besides that it has almost no guidance for the Human race. “In Matthew, Jesus declares, “Whoever is not with me is against me.” In Mark, he says, “Whoever is not against us is for us.” Did he say both things? Could he mean both things? How can both be true at once? Or is it possible that Jesus did not say these things at all ?? The bible therefore is a book that does not inspire any confidence with regards to reliability. Here's another shock: ONLY in the latest of the Gospels, John, does Jesus indicate that he is divine. Why ? Reflect and one will come to realize that none of the earliest traditions indicates that Jesus said any such thing about himself. And surely if Jesus had really spent his days in Galilee and then Jerusalem calling himself God, all of the sources prior to John would be eager to report it. To put it differently, if Jesus claimed he was divine, it seemed very strange indeed that Matthew, Mark, and Luke ALL failed to say anything about it. Did they just forget to mention that part? Reflect & we come to realize that Jesus’ divinity is part of John’s theology, not a part of Jesus’ own teaching. As Muslims, we are blessed to believe in the Gospel given to Jesus the son of Mary, and taught to avoid like plague the Gospel of Tom ,Dick Harry or Potter which you are boasting about! ... In fact you Val P are the enemy of Christ. Search for the truth......its called ISLAM !

We have ancient preserved original texts of the Babylonians, Sumerians, & Egyptians to name a few.These date back thousands of years..., no one really questions their authenticity w/virulent attacks as is done to the Holy Word of God!

@Bert Clayton Nobody in the Catholic church has ever been saved. The Catholic church did not keep and preserve the bible all those years. Roman Catholicism has always been a works based false religion, with idols and false gods. It's not hard to figure out how God preserved His Word. Look at he book of Revelation. It was written to the seven churches in Asia. A copy was sent out to all of them. The letters that make up the NT were written and sent out, then copied and passed on. To say that the old testament was taught to Christians in synagogues is not logical. Although Jesus and the apostles taught in the synagogues, it was not where the churches met. Jesus referred to the Jews as the "synagogue of Satan" in Rev 2:9 and 3:9. The Romans may have persecuted and killed the saints later on, and the Catholic church continued that practice, but the Jews were the ones persecuting and killing the saints in the first century. They appointed deacons to serve in the church so that the elders could labor in the Word. The elders, bishops, or pastors didn't leave the church to labor in the Word. They had the Word. The Word was not controlled by the synagogue of Satan, and the Roman Catholics. The Catholic Church didn't hand over the textus receptus in Greek. They kept it in Latin. I don't really care what they had for manuscripts, they were as corrupt as the day is long, and have only ever served to defile and corrupt the Word of God, as is evidenced by their female deity, bishops and priest called "father", and them putting themselves between man and God, when there is but one mediator between man and God, the man Christ Jesus. We need to separate ourselves from those who Satan uses to deceive us. Read Revelation chapters 17 and 18, and give some thought to who best fits the descriptions of the great whore. Then consider how it was the Jews who were infiltrating the churches in the first century, and bringing in "damnable heresies", such as commanding people to keep the law to be saved. Galatians and Ephesians are a good read for that. If you are caught up in the Jews being God's people, read Galatians 3:16 through the end of the chapter, and you will know who the children of Abraham are, and who the promises to Abraham and his seed were actually to. Romans 2 tells you who is not a Jew and who is a Jew. There is alot of deception in the world of Christianity. The mystery of iniquity doth already work. Beware of false prophets. Get saved by grace through faith alone if you are not already. Don't trust in turning from your sins to be saved. otherwise Jesus will say that He never knew you. If you are saved, you can read the scriptures and understand them, for they are spiritually discerned. 1 John 2:27 tells us that we need not a man to teach us, because the anointing which abideth in us teacheth us all things, but few will find life, and Jesus said, because the way to life is too narrow for the many. It is faith alone. As Paul said in Romans 4;5 "but to him who worketh not, but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness". You faith alone saves you, without the works of the law Repenting of yours sins is obeying the law, and will condemn you if you trust in it to save you. Ephesians 2:8,9 "for by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. God be with you. Get a King James bible if you don't have one. The others teach works salvation saying that Paul the apostle was "being saved" in 1 Corinthians 1:18. It is not true. He was saved, because He gives unto us eternal life, and we shall never die. He tells us that we "shall not come into condemnation". Whosoever heareth my words and believeth in Him who sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24). Pay close attention to those words. Every word of God is precious and true. John 11:26 "Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". "liveth" doesn't mean lifestyle, it means whosoever is alive. Read the context. Being sealed unto the day of redemption means that God has you sealed, and no man can snatch you out of His hand, not even yourself. Are you stronger than God? No.

[@paulchristian8271]

@Bert Clayton Did the written Word begin with the printing press. You do know that history is written by the victor, right? Concerning blind trust I believe 1 John 2:27. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. The scholarship of mankind does not have this anointing to teach them. The bible is a spiritual book. What about "Professors" ? Romans 1:Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Proverbs 1:7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 1 Cor 3:9 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own I trust the bible, not men. That is why I don't need to know every detail about how man preserved it, because man does not preserve that which condemns him, but rather perverts that which is true to control people who believe in it. I will answer your question about churches that split off of the Catholic Church if you can provide me with a complete history of which churches believed and practiced the following, all the way back to Christ: 1 Salvation by grace through faith alone, and without any form of works, not even repentance of sins. 2: Baptism by submersion only, and in accordance with Acts 8:37, which is missing from the Catholic bible, and all of the perverted modern versions which do not inform people that you cannot baptize a baby, because a baby cannot believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. Those two things alone eliminates virtually all protestants. The gospel that saves was never lost, because only saved people can get other people saved. Mathew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. False prophets who bring a repent of your sins gospel only produce corrupt fruit, and only a pure gospel brings forth good fruit. Since we still have good fruit being produced, where is the history on those people? The history on those people will include those who believed the statements above, rejected Catholicism and it's tenants, and also rejected protestantism. They were the people who were re-baptizing people after they believed the above mentioned. The only Christian nation that ever existed was Israel, and for short periods of time in the OT. No nation since Christ has been ruled by biblical command. Christ being interpreted is Messiah. OT saints were looking forward to Jesus, as we look back. Romans 4 tells you who the OT saints were. Declaring yourself a Christian nation does not a Christian nation make. Catholics call themselves Christians nowadays, but they absolutely are not God's people.

[@paulchristian8271]

@Bert Clayton I will admit that there have been famines in the land concerning the Word of God. It happened in the OT, and it seems to have happened during the dark ages. Concerning the printing press, what man intends for evil, God can use for good. The printing press got rid of the famine, and those who created the famine.

[@paulchristian8271]

@Bert Clayton I don't know about corn on the cob. It never came up in my bible reading. I do not know what 11th century church split off of the Catholic Church in the 11th century that you are looking for. What I do know, is that the 11th century was a mess as it was recorded, and there was no faction of the Catholic Church that believed and practiced the bible as stated in the RT, which consisted of manuscripts that had been copied and passed down for many centuries. You are going to have to define "Christian nation", because I would define it by the bible, and you obviously have your own definition. You can look up the official date of the invention of the printing press as well as I can. It is inconsequential to me concerning the the perpetual preservation of God's Word. I don't care, therefor I don't know the exact date. That is information that passed through my head as an interesting piece of information, but is not foundational to my beliefs or my life. I take all of man's historical record with a grain of salt, because so much of it has been proven to be false that it is not worth putting a lot of weight on. Even if you deem someone's writings from many centuries ago to be objective, you still cannot account for perspective, and all of the misinformation that they had. No, I don't know how long it took the scribes to write out the Torah, or any other document? How long it takes a person to write something has nothing to do with the validity of their writings. I've heard people talk about it, but none who had first hand experience with it. Have you done it, or seen it done? I believe that WW2 happened, but I don't believe all of the official story about it, and that wasn't that long ago. Why would I put a lot of weight on things that were recorded much further back in time, and when even fewer people had control of the historical documentation of those events? That's the best I can do.

[@paulchristian8271]

@Bert Clayton I've given the gospel to people who are in the Orthodox church, and they have no assurance of salvation. They are pretty hard works salvation people, who never know if they are in the grace of God or not. I have no church, because I cannot find a biblical church that doesn't have a false gospel. I have traveled several hours away to attend a biblical church. Orthodoxy doesn't fit, because they don't believe in the eternal security of the believer, and they use graven images and have their idols. They are very much like the Catholic Church. I know Catholics as well. They work for their salvation, and abstain from meats and drinks, which goes against scripture. You can't put a man between you and God unless it is the man Christ Jesus, because there is only one mediator between man and God, the man Christ Jesus. They put themselves in the place of Jesus, which is a damnable heresy, and makes them anti-Christ. You confess your faults one to another, not your sins so that the priest becomes a part of your forgiveness. It's not just a matter of reading your bible, although all of these things could be solved by doing so, because the messages are clear, but rather, you have to be saved. Not being save, but saved. I sense that you have little against the Calvinists. It is difficult for me to consider their teachings when they don't understand the meaning of the word "all". When someone can't understand the word "all" when it is used in the bible, they clearly cannot discern the scriptures. There is something blocking them from understanding. 1 Corinthians gives us some insight. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. What you are saying is that Joe church member cannot read and understand the bible, because all of the exhortations in the bible to study the scriptures daily, search the scriptures to see if these things are so, and all scripture being given for reproof, correction, doctrine, and instruction in righteousness is not for him. That would be really convenient for the false teachers that creep in unawares, because your average church member couldn't discern who was false and who was not, because he can have no confidence in what he reads. 1 John 2;27 says "the same anointing". Jesus isn't here to give any special anointing to specific people. Unless you are going to deny the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the believer, we all have the same anointing to teach us all things. When false teachers creep in, the scriptures and the anointing are what every believer has to know they are false teachers. If you keep your church members stupid and dependent on you, you can get them to believe whatever you want to. It was when I started reading and believing the scriptures that I realized how wicked most churches are, and how much false teaching there is. Yes, they will have itching ears, and shall not endure sound doctrine. Who is that talking to, the people in the pew who can't be responsible for their own beliefs? No, it is the teachers who they "heaped" up unto themselves, yet you would have me default to what they tell me the scriptures say, because I can't read and study the scriptures for myself, and am only supposed to have a bible to sort of follow along while sitting in a pew. That is the bad kind of sheep. If you repent of your sin to quicken your spirit, then you are performing the works of the law, which cannot save you. Jonah 3:10 tells us that turning from our wicked way is works. For God saw their works that they turned from their evil way, and God repented of the evil that he said that he would do unto them, and he did it not. Nineveh was saved from physical destruction, and obviously were not all saved spiritually. The law was given to be a schoolmaster, to bring us to Christ who saves. Romans 4 makes it clear that "to him that {worketh not}, but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly, his [faith} is counted for righteousness. Isaiah 64:6 says that our righteousness' are as filthy rags. If you add your righteousness of turning from your sins to be able to enter into the kingdom of God, he will say that He "never" knew you. Mathew 7 tells us that those who were claiming many wonderful works are told that He never knew them, and then Jesus calls them workers of iniquity. The reason he called them that is because preaching a works salvation means you are working iniquity. The strait and narrow path is so narrow that you can't fit your works into it, and few therebe that find it. Why few. There is plenty of evidence for that. The many people who attend churches are trusting in themselves just enough to condemn themselves. Eph 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. Turning from your sins is of yourself. The only commandment that you need to obey to be saved is when the bible tells people to obey the gospel, which is to believe on Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, as Paul told the jailer who asked him how to be saved. Your righteous filthy rags can only make a clean thing dirty. You can't add your righteousness to the righteousness of Christ and still enter through the strait gate. Speaking of words that people get wrong in the bible, "wine" is not always alcohol, unless you thing that the wine in the cluster is fermented. Jesus didn't make barrels of alcoholic wine for people who were already well drunk. Well drunk just means that they had already drank a lot of juice from the cluster. We are "all" made kings and priests, and Jesus is our high priest. No human priest can contradict what the bible says and get away with it so far as I am concerned. Christians don't go around calling each other priests. The term they used in the bible is "brother" or "sister", and specifically not "father". No priest who prays to a woman statue is a brother of mine.

[@DavidmByrd]

@Robert Cameron The following can indicate a delusion:[16] The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force, even when evidence suggests the contradictory. That idea appears to have an undue influence on the patient's life, and the way of life is often altered to an inexplicable extent. Despite their profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or suspicion when the patient is questioned about it. The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief. There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange things are happening to them, the patient accepts them relatively unquestioningly. An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility. They will not accept any other opinions. The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the patient's social, cultural, and religious background. The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other elements of their psyche. The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out of character, although perhaps understandable in light of the delusional beliefs. Individuals who know the patient observe that the belief and behavior are uncharacteristic and alien. Additional features of delusional disorder include the following:[16] It is a primary disorder. It is a stable disorder characterized by the presence of delusions to which the patient clings with extraordinary tenacity. The illness is chronic and frequently lifelong. The delusions are logically constructed and internally consistent. The delusions do not interfere with general logical reasoning (although within the delusional system the logic is perverted) and there is usually no general disturbance of behavior. If disturbed behavior does occur, it is directly related to the delusional beliefs. The individual experiences a heightened sense of self-reference. Events which, to others, are nonsignificant are of enormous significance to him or her, and the atmosphere surrounding the delusions is highly charged.

[@frederickpaul8205]

Question:- "Is the Bible truly God's Word?" Answer:- Our answer to this question will not only determine how we view the Bible and its importance to our lives, but also it will ultimately have an eternal impact on us. If the Bible is truly God’s Word, then we should cherish it, study it, obey it, and fully trust it. If the Bible is the Word of God, then to dismiss it is to dismiss God Himself. The fact that God gave us the Bible is an evidence and illustration of His love for us. The term “revelation” simply means that God communicated to mankind what He is like and how we can have a right relationship with Him. These are things that we could not have known had God not divinely revealed them to us in the Bible. Although God’s revelation of Himself in the Bible was given progressively over approximately 1500 years, it has always contained everything man needs to know about God in order to have a right relationship with Him. If the Bible is truly the Word of God, then it is the final authority for all matters of faith, religious practice, and morals. The question we must ask ourselves is how can we know that the Bible is the Word of God and not just a good book? What is unique about the Bible that sets it apart from all other religious books ever written? Is there any evidence that the Bible is truly God’s Word? These types of questions must be seriously examined if we are to determine the validity of the Bible’s claim to be the very Word of God, divinely inspired, and totally sufficient for all matters of faith and practice. There can be no doubt that the Bible does claim to be the very Word of God. This is clearly seen in Paul’s commendation to Timothy: “… from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:15-17). There are both internal and external evidences that the Bible is truly God’s Word. The internal evidences are those things within the Bible that testify of its divine origin. One of the first internal evidences that the Bible is truly God’s Word is seen in its unity. Even though it is really sixty-six individual books, written on three continents, in three different languages, over a period of approximately 1500 years, by more than 40 authors who came from many walks of life, the Bible remains one unified book from beginning to end without contradiction. This unity is unique from all other books and is evidence of the divine origin of the words which God moved men to record. Another of the internal evidences that indicates the Bible is truly God’s Word is the prophecies contained within its pages. The Bible contains hundreds of detailed prophecies relating to the future of individual nations including Israel, certain cities, and mankind. Other prophecies concern the coming of One who would be the Messiah, the Savior of all who would believe in Him. Unlike the prophecies found in other religious books or those by men such as Nostradamus, biblical prophecies are extremely detailed. There are over three hundred prophecies concerning Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Not only was it foretold where He would be born and His lineage, but also how He would die and that He would rise again. There simply is no logical way to explain the fulfilled prophecies in the Bible other than by divine origin. There is no other religious book with the extent or type of predictive prophecy that the Bible contains. A third internal evidence of the divine origin of the Bible is its unique authority and power. While this evidence is more subjective than the first two, it is no less a powerful testimony of the divine origin of the Bible. The Bible’s authority is unlike any other book ever written. This authority and power are best seen in the way countless lives have been transformed by the supernatural power of God’s Word. Drug addicts have been cured by it, homosexuals set free by it, derelicts and deadbeats transformed by it, hardened criminals reformed by it, sinners rebuked by it, and hate turned to love by it. The Bible does possess a dynamic and transforming power that is only possible because it is truly God’s Word. There are also external evidences that indicate the Bible is truly the Word of God. One is the historicity of the Bible. Because the Bible details historical events, its truthfulness and accuracy are subject to verification like any other historical document. Through both archaeological evidences and other writings, the historical accounts of the Bible have been proven time and time again to be accurate and true. In fact, all the archaeological and manuscript evidence supporting the Bible makes it the best-documented book from the ancient world. The fact that the Bible accurately and truthfully records historically verifiable events is a great indication of its truthfulness when dealing with religious subjects and doctrines and helps substantiate its claim to be the very Word of God. Another external evidence that the Bible is truly God’s Word is the integrity of its human authors. As mentioned earlier, God used men from many walks of life to record His words. In studying the lives of these men, we find them to be honest and sincere. The fact that they were willing to die often excruciating deaths for what they believed testifies that these ordinary yet honest men truly believed God had spoken to them. The men who wrote the New Testament and many hundreds of other believers (1 Corinthians 15:6) knew the truth of their message because they had seen and spent time with Jesus Christ after He had risen from the dead. Seeing the risen Christ had a tremendous impact on them. They went from hiding in fear to being willing to die for the message God had revealed to them. Their lives and deaths testify to the fact that the Bible truly is God’s Word. A final external evidence that the Bible is truly God’s Word is the indestructibility of the Bible. Because of its importance and its claim to be the very Word of God, the Bible has suffered more vicious attacks and attempts to destroy it than any other book in history. From early Roman Emperors like Diocletian, through communist dictators and on to modern-day atheists and agnostics, the Bible has withstood and outlasted all of its attackers and is still today the most widely published book in the world. Throughout time, skeptics have regarded the Bible as mythological, but archeology has confirmed it as historical. Opponents have attacked its teaching as primitive and outdated, but its moral and legal concepts and teachings have had a positive influence on societies and cultures throughout the world. It continues to be attacked by pseudo-science, psychology, and political movements, yet it remains just as true and relevant today as it was when it was first written. It is a book that has transformed countless lives and cultures throughout the last 2000 years. No matter how its opponents try to attack, destroy, or discredit it, the Bible remains; its veracity and impact on lives is unmistakable. The accuracy which has been preserved despite every attempt to corrupt, attack, or destroy it is clear testimony to the fact that the Bible is truly God’s Word and is supernaturally protected by Him. It should not surprise us that, no matter how the Bible is attacked, it always comes out unchanged and unscathed. After all, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Mark 13:31). After looking at the evidence, one can say without a doubt that, yes, the Bible is truly God’s Word. God Bless You Amen!

[@sonsofthewestredwhiteblue5317]

I’d admire your passion, but I beg to differ. Whilst I’m adamant there is absolutely a healthy smattering of divine intent and expression woven throughout the book. (Some gold dust amongst the chicken feed) There’s no getting away from the fact that the KJV Bible was edited by Francis Bacon. Bacon was a renowned Mason and the reality is that the Freemasons set their will against every thing that the Holy trinity stood for and at the 33rd degree are fully indoctrinated into the to service of Baal/Lucifer. Quote: “The first edition of the King James Bible, which was edited by Francis Bacon and prepared under Masonic supervision, bears more Mason's marks than the Cathedral of Strasburg.-Manly P. Hall, from a lecture Rosicrucian and Masonic Origins 1929”. That would suggest the bible is as much an exercise in misdirection as it is an infallible guide in securing ones ascension. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in our divine creative source with all my heart, and I appreciate that many people draw strength from the text. In reality the doctrine was hijacked first by Constantine and then by the masons in order to suit their own ends (subjugation of the masses). There’s no getting away from those facts.....

Now, I would still agree that we should still look at the evidence, because God meant us to use our brain and not just accept things blindly - but that's why, I think, he makes that argument. In other words, he's NOT expecting an atheist to accept that argument. Hope that helps.

And read other people with the knowledge of the ancient christianity, like antonio pinero, or mauro biglino who translate the old testament text to the real meaning, not how the romans made the translations back on year 325 on the nicea's council where they create the bible.

Yo no soy ningun iluminado simplemente uso el sentido comun y como yo no vivo de la religion me comenze a cuestionar que hay detras de la religion que le impusieron a mis antepasados los espanoles igual que a ellos se la impusieron los romanos y que cuando naci herede a traves de mis padres y hay cosas sin sentido por principio de cuenta la biblia que se formo del concilio de nicea en 325 fue organizada y formada por mandato de constantino el emperador romano. el viejo testamento pertenecio siempre al pueblo judio hasta que lo plagiaron los romanos y lo mal tradujeron y manipularon al griego y junto con el nuevo testamento que pablo de tarzo y marcos, lucas, mateo y juan formaron con muchas cosas milagros resurrecciones que le atribuyeron a jesus despues de muerto, porque jesus si existio para los historiadores fue un ser humano normal un profeta judio que creia en las leyes judias y que promulgaba la venida del mesias para salvar a israel de opresores romanos mi siquiera en los evangelios jesus dice directamente que es hijo de dios ni el mesias y menos el mismo dios eso se le atribuyo a traves de los evangelios y manipulaciones de la biblia jesus nunca quiso formar una religion y menos supo que se formo una sobre su persona. tienes 35 Anos estudiando los canones pero la verdad no esta en los canones busca la verdad donde la vas a encontrar, en estudiar la verdadera traduccion del viejo testamento, que erealmente lo que hay escrito sin inventar traduccion de palabras como lo hicieron cuando los tradujeron los romanos solo porque no conocian que queria decir las palabras les daban el significado que ellos querian pablo de tarzo un judio romano, porque poseia las dos ciudadanias, moldeo y manipulo las ensenanzas de jesus como el quiso para formar el cristianismo pero como los judios no creian en el jesus que el pregonaba y no le tomaban en cuenta entonces empezo a predicar a los paganos y gentiles. Las leyendas y mitos y alegoria de la biblia al dia de hoy no tienen base mi sentido. una por una las historias de la biblia con sentido comun y un poco de inteligencia se puede ver que no pueden ser ciertas que en aquellos tiempo fueran creibles por la falta de pruebas y lo rudimentario de el conocimiento de la gente de los tiempos antiguos pero hoy en dia no podemos vivir y regirnos por unos libros que aparte de mal traducidos no sirven a la sociedad moderna el mundo y el universo no se formo hace 6 mil anos segun la biblia solo la tierra se formo hace sillones de anos. la Torre de babel vil mentira ni al dia de hoy podemos construir un edificio con tantos pisos aunque fuera solo para salir de la atmosfera, el arca de noe de 155 metros de largo por 26 de ancho y 16 de alto no pudieron haber metio mas de 6800 especies de animales y haberlos traido de los diferentes continentes nada mas no tiene sentido y asi te puedes ir leyenda por leyenda. Ademas si jesus hubiera resucitado y hubiera resucitado a otros y hecho todos los milagros que se le atribuyen estuviera en todas las historias de los pueblos de todo el mundo, una cosa asi es mas importante que la mayoria de las historias que si estan registradas, y no esta, no hay nada escrito fuera de los evangelios que fueron escrito mucho despues que jesus murio no tienen valides historica por mas que luchen los teologos por ponerlos como historicos y para terminar si dios existiera y fuera poderoso y omnipotente no necesitaria de segundas y terceras personas para decirle al mundo que existe.

The New Testament was written in the 1st century AD about 45-95. We have a goal of 50 years, about 125 AD. With only 6,000 copies! in Greek, each copy with 450 pages. But there are still 20,000 manuscripts in Latin, Armenian and Coptic. There are many differences that occur in translations and transcripts. However, this strengthens the veracity of Scripture because all these differences can be compared and examined by elucidating the nature of the original text. The original is best preserved by a large number of copies. If there is an old, original manuscript, but there are no copies, it means that it was not considered good to consider at the time, a probable falsehood. These are the apocryphal. No one doubts the existence of Alexander the Great and his conquests, although the one who wrote his biography lived 300 years later, Quintus Curtius Rufus, and the oldest manuscripts are 1,100 years ago.

[@spudkin564]

@Sijtske Borden can you site your source? The Ephesians passage that mentions women being silent never says anything about them not being made in the image of God. In fact, nowhere does Paul ever state that about women. And, to another point, this was a letter to the Ephesian church, it was likely a cultural instruction. It was well established that pagan women in Ephesus were gossips and disruptive. He was instructing those women in particular to be silent. People who extrapolate this tiny passage to mean that women are less valuable are fools.

The subtle serpent, Satan, asked Eve, "Yea, hath God said?" This question was designed to cause doubt about the accuracy and authority of God's word, for his next statement to Eve was "Ye shall not surely die." Satan went from a question to an outright denial. I can have and ask questions ABOUT the Bible, but NEVER question the bible, itself. As a Christian, the Bible claims to be our guidebook from the mind of God, written through holy men. No other person or other writing or assumed authority supercedes God the Father, and Jesus Christ, as revealed in the holy scriptures. How can we regard this book as anything other than what it says of itself? "The words of the Lord are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of the earth, purified seven times." Psalms 12:6 That sounds like circular reasoning, but the bible is the only exception. It's an "all or nothing" proposition. If the bible isn't perfect, we should throw it away. It either is perfect, or we're wasting our time, and there's no such thing as TRUTH. There is zero room for a middle ground approach. In the end, all will be judged by that same word. To treat it like any other book, patched together by fallible, sinful men, would be a grave mistake.

Is your faith in God so weak that you think he can't be questioned? If I felt like my God couldn't withstand a little bit of questioning without falling apart, He'd be no God to me, lol. What's pretty amazing, is if you believe in the same Christian God as me, He's stood the test of time. The truth in the Bible only continue to BE proven, not misproven! How would that have happened without questioning and inquiry? Please bring the critics, the skeptics, the unbelievers, and those who believe in other gods. My God will win everytime. How many times have the people in the Bible questioned God? Old and New Testaments. Please queation, please dig. It will only strengthen your faith and commitment.

The Holy Quran - [5:46] In their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him; and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous. [5:110] When God will say, "O Jesus son of Mary, recall My favor upon you and upon your mother, how I supported you with the Holy Spirit. You spoke to the people from the crib, and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay the shape of a bird, by My leave, and then you breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My leave. And you healed the blind and the leprous, by My leave; and you revived the dead, by My leave. And recall that I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you brought them the clear miracles. But those who disbelieved among them said, `This is nothing but obvious sorcery.'" [4:171] O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, "Three." Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. [42:13] He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein." As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents [57:27] Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented-We did not ordain it for them-only to seek God's approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful. [61:6] And when Jesus son of Mary said, "O Children of Israel, I am God's Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he showed them the miracles, they said, "This is obvious sorcery." [3:49] A messenger to the Children of Israel: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God's leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers."
