This is amazing. I want more!!! I love being blessed by your passion and diligence to find and share the truth. Who cares about all these opinions of "scholars", who frankly don't care to investigate these issues thoroughly. The truth matters, and you're being used to bring so much light to common believers like me. Keep proclaiming!

[@chicktracts]

Thank you for the encouragement! I'll keep digging. God bless you! - David

[@josephdugas7934]

A little off topic even though the Septuagint is part of Sinaiticus. I don't know if anyone else knew this or not. But I found a bit of proof from the Septuagint itself that it is post first century. If you have ever read Matthew 4:6, Satan appears to quote Psalms 91:11-12 But what he does is remove the phrase "to keep thee in all thy ways" from v11 and then adds the phrase "at any time" to v12. Now if you ever read the Septuagint in English or Greek (Psamls 91 is chapter 90) you will see Satan's addition "at any time" added to the chapter. Since there is no Hebrew text anywhere that contains "at any time" as part of v12, that can only mean that the writer had to have taken it from Satan's quote in the New Testament.

[@DWDaniels]

Hi, Joseph! I got out Origen's Hexapla. Very interesting! Aquila wrote: επι ταρσων αρουσι, μηποτε προσκοψη εν λιτης ο πους σου. So the μηποτη (at any time) was utilized by the hyper-literal 125 AD writer. Symmachus wrote: Επι χειρων βαστασουσι σε, ινα μη προσπαιση εν λιθω ποδι σου. This is completely different from Matthew 4:6, in this 175-200 AD writer. But this is Origen’s text: Επι χειρων αρουσι σε, μηποτε προσκοψης προς λιθον τον ποδα σου This is identical to the Received Text (and the King James) at Matthew 4:6 Origen had the New Testament in front of him in 225-245 AD, and changed the Old Testament text in many places to match it in his Hexapla. God bless you! - David

I realized that pic of tischendor had his hand in his lapel which made me wonder if he was Freemason, but then you addressed freemasonry in the video. I was wondering why bc much of my family was freemason. Thank God for your work. I’m studying to follow in the footsteps of many Bible believers before me. I’m a little late bc I was an unsaved heathen until the Lord woke me up in October 2015, then called me to the ministry 11/11/22. I almost ended up in one of those seminaries. God prevented it from happening, and I didn’t know why. He led me to Dr Ruckman, and now I see why he prevented me from entering that institution (NOBTS). God had better plans for me😇

It is incorrect to say that the Orthodox believe in apotheosis. The term is rather 'theosis' and it refers to 2 Pet. 1:4 ('partakers of the Divine nature').

[@inbetweennames4438]

@Mr. Rich B.O.B I stand corrected. I should know my Greek terms better. But apotheosis for the Orthodox cannot refer to a pagan concept or even a Mormon concept. In Orthodoxy man partakes of the Divine nature by grace.

The sad thing is about half of the "Christians" in the "church" aren't authentic either. In so many words, Jesus said about half aren't at the time of the end. (Parables of: the 10 virgins, the mustard seed, the wheat and tares, the leaven)

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Joshua, don't forget only 1 of the 10 healed lepers... David, agreed. Also, depending on long a generation is defined, is the amount of time needed to produce a whole generation of people who haven't heard the gospel. Took me a while to understand that even though sailing ships took the gospel around the world, especially during the British empire, the need to sow seed continues to this day. How many new generations have come about since that point in time of world history? May God continue to bless your work and those associated with your ministry.

[@joshuaa3075]

@@oldtimerlee8820 Yes, only one in ten turned around to thank Jesus for healing them. I don't believe those in many services are told how to accept Jesus as Lord these days and it is hard to find any sermon on the real messages of what Jesus was saying in the parables. They largely point to false people hiding amongst us. Going through the motions but never believing in their heart and perhaps distracting or interfering with teaching God's Word.

[@104littleal6]

Wow, I've heard a few people say Jesus wasn't the Son until his baptism, but I had no idea where they were getting it from. I always thought they were just kooky. Now I see how they're getting it. Thank you brother David. Great insight into the occult and cults.

[@shafee1891]

The gap between the source and the earliest copy is over 300 years. This is itself a huge problem and the fact that 14,000 differences between the current bible and the earliest copy are unreconcilable. You don't have the original writings, but you have copies of copies .... of copies, but not any two of them are identical. It's a huge mess, and hence came Islam.

Even if it meant removing books, he decided to remove Hebrews James and Jude from the New Testament because they were not compatible with his teaching that salvation is by faith alone. im starting to think that the codex sintnus with the 4 Gosples had a more proper unadulterated scriptural truth. But scripture in the codex sinitcues teaches jusifcation by wisdom, justifcation by words. right now im looking in to all the bibles thought history from codex vaticues to the KJV, compare side by side. look at the theology behind of what they belived while putting a "bible" (to include kjv) i truly belive we all have been lied to from peoples opinions what "true" scripute is. when people say the the apostolic fatheres were just men, so were the counsel who got to dictate what "true" scripter is. after all the are still just men as well. im not going to dismiss the codex sinincus that easly. key words i listen to when some one speakes if when they drop the "i think or i believe" meaning this is more likly an opinion. im seeking truth, real scriptural truth. the ignorance we are forced to believe will be our down fall.

[@konstantinallinforchrist9867]

Hey Mary certainly wasn't a perpetual virgin. Jesus had brothers and sisters as it is written. Miriam's only command in the bible is found in John 2 - "Do whatever he [Jesus] says."

[@erics7992]

@@konstantinallinforchrist9867 Spare me. Those 'brothers' and 'sisters' were obviously cousins since if you read John ch. 7 they were very much alive on the eve of his Death and yet Jesus on the Cross turns the care of his Mother over to the disciple John which wouldn't have been necessary if he had any living blood brothers. Don't transpose 20th century understandings of words onto 1st century Israel.

[@konstantinallinforchrist9867]

@@erics7992 I just learned something: in biblical hebrew there is apparently no word for "cousin" in koine greek however there is. It certainly is not "obvious" that Jesus brothers were in fact his cousins. Even the last words on the cross don't specifically imply or suggest such a statement. If i recall correctly the catholic "church" has actually theologically had to add a third Mary who supposedly mothered the "brothers" of Jesus. It's much more likely and natural to believe that the four brothers mentioned were actually just that - brothers of Jesus according to the flesh. Out of humility and humble-mindedness Jude in his introduction to his letter hints at the fact the he is a brother of Jesus. I'm sure the early church (first 300 yrs) held the same view but I'm not inclined to follow that rabbithole as questions of geneologies are fruitless. The fact that there is a word in koine greek for "cousin" (Col 4:10) and it WASN'T USED by the hebrew gospel writers in relation to Jesus brothers to me is clear evidence that Jesus had 4 physical brothers. -- So thank you for enlightening me! A warning: If you are not baptized IN water and in the holy spirit following the Voice and guidance of Jesus (Jn 10:27, Romans 8:14) you will end up in hell not in "purgatory". True Christians are commanded to stop all willfull sinning- who sins willfully is in the Way to damnation also (Hebrews 10:26). He who has ears to hear let him hear!

[@erics7992]

@@konstantinallinforchrist9867 First of all to say that the last words on the Cross are not conclusive is just you not wanting to see the truth. If you have a blood brother you don't turn the care of your mother over to an unrelated male. You don't even do that today much less in 1st century Israel which was governed by iron laws of kinship. As to the rest the Gospels are written in Greek but are full of Hebraisms and the Greek words always reflect a Semitic meaning since they are talking about a Semitic people in a Semitic environment.

[@konstantinallinforchrist9867]

@@erics7992 Who are you to say that it wasn't God's plan to entrust Mary to the care of the disciple "whom he loved" instead of his brothers? God gives grace to the humble and but resists the proud.
