I really enjoy Dr Erhman…would love to ask him a couple of questions concerning the eastern manuscripts during the 2nd century

[@mistersilly9012]

this video is an omnibus collection of pieces that (all or some?) appear in shorter mythvision videos. for example the first hour is "Your Bible Is Corrupted". don't get me wrong ... this is an enlightening listen and really appreciated. but when it comes to collating what i know and where i heard it, it's an unwieldy size to deal with. it would be great if you listed the YT posts where pieces of this appear in standalone form. i think for people who argue about these topics, it's useful to be able to say "this issue is discussed HERE", without referring to more material than relates to the immediate issue

Are you there for the likes or for truth? Here's unadulterated truth: 1) Gen 1:27. "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority....": 2) Gen 3: Mankind fell. The image and likeness of God in man got lost. That's the mess this world is in. Gen 3. But...: 3) As Christ, God returns the divine life of the ages back to you-manity. For free, because of love, purpose, destiny. "I have come to give YOU Zoë (divine) life in abundance. It pleases the Father to give YOU the Kingdom. Freely I give you My Kingdom. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely i give, freely share. I WILL send Holy Soirit, He WILL be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. You will understand that the Father is in Me and I am in you." John 14-17. "Those that receive this abundance of grace, this free gift of righteousness will walk in Zoë/divine life" Rom 5:17. How do we receive? We are mesmerized by what we see and welcome Holy Spirit to change us in to Christlikeness. 2 Cor 3:18, Col 3:10. The Gospel: a restoration of a man/woman, back to the image of God. Changed by His very own Spirit working in you. Changing you from the inside out. An outpouring from within you. So wherever you are in your life, you have great purpose in life. Walking in the same divine unselfish love and glory/healing power as Christ. Growing in to Him in all things. Key-understanding: Christ, as the last Adam, represents all of humanity again in completeness. So, you too!! In Him you already are completed! Co-crusified, co-raised, co-seated (Ef 2:4-6), transferred, made perfect (Col 1:13, 1:22, 2:8-10) You start where He finished: "You and I are one. He who meets you meets Me. The Father is in Me and I am in you". "We grow into Him in all things to the fullness of God". What a God, what a love. He came full circle. Let's love on someone today. ❤️🎁🎊💪🔥💃🕺

You see the world in a whole new light when you understand that Religion's purpose is the control of populations. It's intent is to influence people to behave a certain way to make the warlords dictates ruling over them easier to do. The promise is an afterlife of bliss, but they must do as the deity commands - genocide? No problem. Infanticide? No problem. Mass murders? No problem. Whatever the deity commands. And who says what the deity commands? Why, the Priests of the Religion. They'll tell you what the deity commands. It's a sick, sick, world. The lies, the mass murders, the wars ... I'm done with them.

I don't like using the term even, but this time it is very fitting and important: even the world's leading anti-religion evolutionist, Richard Dawkins, admitted that Jesus Christ existed. Additionally, The Bible, including the Old Testament, if proven true and accurate by history, archaeology and other sciences. Moving on, this video, like all of their kinds (*), obviously omit the overwhelming evidence that Jesus existed in connection to other historical characters with less evidence but are accepted as factual. This video (*) also fail to relate the connection of those scientific findings between The Old Testament and the Christian Scriptures. Here are but a few credentials... - Michael Grant, a historian and an expert on ancient classical civilization, noted: “If we apply to the New Testament, as we should, the same sort of criteria as we should apply to other ancient writings containing historical material, we can no more reject Jesus’ existence than we can reject the existence of a mass of pagan personages whose reality as historical figures is never questioned.” - Rudolf Bultmann, a professor of New Testament studies, stated: “The doubt as to whether Jesus really existed is unfounded and not worth refutation. No sane person can doubt that Jesus stands as founder behind the historical movement whose first distinct stage is represented by the oldest Palestinian community [of Christians].” - Will Durant, a historian, writer, and philosopher, wrote: “That a few simple men [the Gospel writers] should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a personality, so lofty an ethic and so inspiring a vision of human brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded in the Gospels.” - Albert Einstein, a German-born Jewish physicist, asserted: “I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.” When asked if he viewed Jesus as a historical person, he responded: “Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.” - Tacitus (c. 56-120 C.E., or Common Era). Tacitus is considered to be one of the greatest of the ancient Roman historians. His Annals deal with the Roman Empire from 14 C.E. to 68 C.E. (Jesus died in 33 C.E.) Tacitus wrote that when a great fire devastated Rome in 64 C.E., Emperor Nero was considered responsible. But Tacitus wrote that Nero accused the Christians in order to “scotch the rumour.” Then Tacitus said: “Christus, the founder of the name [Christian], had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilatus.”​-Annals, XV, 44. - Suetonius (c. 69-a. 122 C.E.) In his Lives of the Caesars, this Roman historian recorded events during the reigns of the first 11 Roman emperors. The section on Claudius refers to turmoil among the Jews in Rome that was likely caused by disputes over Jesus. (Acts 18:2) Suetonius wrote: “Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus [Christus], he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome.” (The Deified Claudius, XXV, 4) Although wrongly accusing Jesus of creating disturbances, Suetonius did not doubt his existence. - Pliny The Younger (c. 61-113 C.E.) This Roman author and administrator in Bithynia (modern Turkey) wrote to Roman Emperor Trajan about how to deal with the Christians in that province. Pliny said that he tried to force Christians to recant, executing any who refused to do so. He explained: “Those who . . . repeated after me an invocation to the [pagan] Gods, and offered adoration, with wine and frankincense, to your image . . . and who finally cursed Christ . . . , I thought it proper to discharge.”​-Pliny-​Letters, Book X, XCVI. - Flavius Josephus (c. 37-100 C.E.). This Jewish priest and historian states that Annas, a Jewish high priest who continued to wield political influence, “convened the judges of the Sanhedrin [the Jewish high court] and brought before them a man named James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.”​-Jewish Antiquities, XX, 200. - The Talmud. This collection of Jewish rabbinic writings, dating from the third to the sixth centuries C.E., shows that even Jesus’ enemies affirmed his existence. One passage says that on “the Passover Yeshu [Jesus] the Nazarean was hanged,” which is historically correct. (Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 43a, Munich Codex; see John 19:14-16.) Another states: “May we produce no son or pupil who disgraces himself in public like the Nazarene”​-a title often applied to Jesus.​-Babylonian Talmud, Berakoth 17b, footnote, Munich Codex; see Luke 18:37. The Gospels give us a comprehensive account of Jesus’ life and ministry, including specific details about people, places, terrain and times​-the hallmarks of authentic history. An example is found at Luke 3:1, 2, which helps us to establish the exact date when a man named John the Baptist, a forerunner of Jesus, commenced his work. There is so much more regarding Jesus and his times and, so much more on The Bible's authenticity and accuracy of its Hebrew pages from Genesis to Malachi. It is YOUR job to understand and believe, or not. No matter the case, "The Great Tribulation" WILL absolutely come soon enough, just look around you, the world, it was all prophesied. The matter is, none of what speak now, will matter in the end, because those who refused to listen or, go against God, will likely not make it into the paradise Earth God has promised. The "former things" or, world/system, "will be forgotten." True Christians will live on for ever in happiness, all this chaos now happening "will not be called into mind." Your choice.````

Worship God not an inanimate object, a book that was put together by Romans to control it's massive empire. When you drive a car you don't need to keep reading the manual. We've had the Bible for nearly 2000years. We all know what it says and we can let go of the crutch and can live our lives as spiritually evolved beings.

Obviously, I've always read it right alongside the Tanakh. I'm a believer, but do not call myself a "Christian". I follow the laws of Torah and worship as closely as possible to the way taught by the Tanakh (as much is allowed without a Temple or being "in the land"😊).

[@bbl2555]

Isn’t Tanakh is also made up, its very clear when you read Tanakh that losers had wrote for their survival, the books give feeling that poor Vanuerable group of people on the name of Yahweh keep threatening the powerful kings, Even this group of people was small in number, reading Tanakh is Evident that low corrupt morals was excerise by them, their only regret was that they were not powerful, so the invent the stories like Dreams of Joseph and his dreams comes true and he than became powerful kinsman of king, treatment of slave too was not different from non Jews people, Ruben Rape of slave mother Bilhah is clear example of that but same people anhilate when Dinah Rape happens, so double standards where seen, their are many examples, to prove that this group people was playing with others on base of dreams and false claimes of talking to God.

3:17:00 it is such a pet peeve of mine when people “ask questions” just as a front for promoting their marginal, pet ideas. I find it so disrespectful, especially when doing this to eminent scholars. It is a selfish waste of everyone’s time. The etymology of “Joshua” is incredibly clear, as Dr. Tabor explained the first time this pet idea was thrust upon the stream, to anybody who knows Hebrew, and it has nothing to do with “saffron”. The Hebrew word for Saffron (in antiquity) is כרכום (karkóm), completely unrelated to the Akkadian word azupīru/azupīranu. The Akkadian word for saffron comes from the Semitic root *ṣ-p-r, meaning “to become yellow”, as in Arabic ṣufr (“brass”), ṣafar (“jaundice”), and ʔaṣfar (“yellow”).

They’ve been altered recently. Where, in the New Testament they said “He will not break a bruised reed” and “He will not quench a dimly-burning wick” which are mis-transliterations from Isaiah, now they have switched the syntax around again in the NT in versions I’ve seen so that the metaphorical subjects of the sentences are correct. ie - although he is a dimly-burning wick, he will not quench And although he is a bruised reed, he will not break That is ‘the suffering servant’ It’s not that he won’t break a bruised reed rather he *is* a bruised reed.

[@allanwilliams2079]

@5:20, when professor Ehrman says, "the doctrine of the trinity",in relation to "1 John 5:7", he is misrepresenting the verse. The correct representation of this verse is "the witness from heaven". 1 John 5:7,9 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. [God is in heaven: the witness is given by him.] [9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. ● Now, professor Ehrman does not only get how he represents the verse wrong, he also gets the number of times that the content of the verse is stated in the new testament. [He has sought to create some hedges around himself by using the phrase "explicit statement". However, it is not just the the exact wording of the verse that matters: it is the understanding of what is conveyed by the wording of this verse.] The verse says, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit are one. (Replacing "word" with Jesus) The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one. ● Here what is stated in "1John is condensed in John 10:30. John 10:30 I and my Father are one ● A proper reading of the books of the gospels reveals that: ● Matthew 3:16,17, tell us what "1 John 5:7", tells us. Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: [17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ● Mark 1:9,10,11 , tell us what "1 John 5:7" tells us. Mark 1:9-11 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. [10] And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: [11] And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ● Luke 3:21,22 , tell us what "1 John 5:7" tells us. Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, [22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. ● John 1:32,33 , tell us what "1 John 5:7" tells us. John 1:32-33 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. [33] And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Note: [The Spirit can only "descend" upon someone "bodily" and "remain" on them if they and the Spirit are one.] ●● Here is shown four different witnesses that give the same witness, as "1 John 5:7" , which is; the Father, the Word/Jesus, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost are one. The Trinitarians are wrong with their representation of God. The Bible is not wrong with its information about God. Professor Bart D Ehrman is wrong about what he has stated concerning the Bible. 1 John 5:7 is supported as being correct and as belonging in the Bible.

Born into a High Church Episcopalian and Lutheran family who weren't particularly religious, I was left to explore my own religious path. Not only that, but my grandmother, I suspect, was an agnostic. At 17 I met a young man reminiscent of Sal Mineo. A Sicilian with relatives in the La Cosa Nostra and obviously a Catholic, it was too romantic for me to pass up. Besides, my father had died when I was seven and Mom was always worried about my younger brother getting into trouble. I became almost invisible at home and here was this vibrant loud very loving family who welcomed me, a girl of German and various European blood, with open arms. The Cathedrals were beautiful, the ritual mesmerizing, and I had to join to marry this young man. So I did. Catechism then eventually baptism with his aunt and uncle as my sponsors later, we were married where I agreed to raise the children as Catholics. Two years and two children later we divorced despite not getting dispensation from the Pope, but I remained closely connected to the family. He was ceremoniously kicked out, dead, to the family. Yes, they do that and, yes, it happened with a spit at his feet but no kiss, a slap instead. In a bowling alley located in the Little Italy of my city, I spent every week as score keeper with my former mother-in-law, her sisters, one my godmother, and other women on their team. Then I met the La Cosa Nostra member of the family in that same bowling alley. He was something of a respected embarrassment to the family. I continued to go to mass sporadically. Then a priest, in his sermon, told us who to vote for and said voting for his opponent would be a menial sin and I began to rethink religion. Questions, discussions, and several debates later, I left the church altogether. The kids still went with their grandparents. In advertising, I did a lot of research and met lots of people, one of whom was a White Witch who taught at the college here. I found her as fascinating as I did THE CHURCH. She took me to a ritual in a forest where everyone was robed, faces hidden within hoods, and sincere about their connection to the "powers of nature." The mayor of our city was there too as a participant. Surprise. The head-witch taught me about their beliefs which were actually quite lovely. The head-witch read the tarot cards, of course, for me. We didn't remain friends because I saw too much similarity between the belief in unseen magic, one on the planet with the one in the sky. From there, I married again then divorced and married my attorney, a Jewish corporate litigator. Judaism became an interest. His family included me in a Seder reading at dinner. So, I very briefly studied the religion, realizing quickly that it was more of a culture than a religion. We divorced. My religious journey after that was non-participatory research instead of indoctrination. A much longer story made short later, I discovered Atheism and have been one for more years than I want to say. However, I do not declare there is no god, any god, because there's no way to prove that, right? I use Matt Dillihunty's explanation: "I don't know if there's a god or not. I have no good reason to believe in a god." Today, I study Christianity only because of the Christian Nationalism Movement which, like the Women's Movement, I have become something of a warrior for the latter, a warrior against for the Christian Nationalism movement. Listening to this broadcast, I have gathered so many more weapons. Thank you, not only for confirming my Atheism, but for confirming my gut feeling that it's all about the fear of death, control, campaign fodder, and today, a very profitable business. I have so many questions for you guys. Sitting down with you would be hazardous for my health since it would involve too many pizzas, too much wine, and several days without sleep, not to mention carpal tunnel from the notetaking.

Each version is interpreting the original written language into English. For hundreds of years the King James Version (because it was authorized to be translated into English by King James) was considered the most accurate interpretation. But English is not spoken as it was back in 1611, so now others have interpreted the original script into language that is more easily understood by modern English speakers. And scholars studying the original writings have slight changes in the meaning of words into our modern language. So, although different versions, they are very similar in meaning.

[@dt5735]

So very early in this podcast Bart says “…there are hundreds of thousands of differences…” when he references his copy from a copy from a copy idea in surviving manuscripts.

I'm Christian and if you look at all into the subject you might have a change of mind.but that doesn't make Jesus fake just shows how belief of man and church are much like the farisee and sadusee of chist time. different verses of same books in different areas of Christianity. theology arguments put into scripures over areas of control from the many sides Greek Roman's had control first empire wise.then Roman catholic took control empirely and killed all that they could and they burned done and killed the city and killed the pope and the once that could ran to areas were they could survive in Russia area.then the protesters against the abuse of catholic power came along and got red of several books of the bible. anything new here? and along comes modern day and theologians of Christian denominations have much different scripures and books they quote from.saved by faith saved by babtism.saved by love just what book's you choose to lead your followers. but don't talk about prayer tought by Jesus in private and no speech and if you must Must say the lords prayer. but some say if you repeat then you are like some other group. if you don't understand what is being said and themeaning and listen of said saying would be so.but Jesus said them according to the author.paul fights on the side that says that the prayers of the sadusee and farasees have no effect on the food. but sum will quote one sentence that says all food is clean but the whole thing was about prayer and food so taken in context that they were eating wheat considered clean but needing prayer is that sentence to be taken as it is.translated from the Greek with many different versions to be found from the whole area from different times.not until printing press could you lock down even what was in stated book. but the books were written to the people of that time and what would they understand from their history and language

Here are a few of Bart's unsubstantiated presuppositions which he uses to arrive at his predetermined and unsustainable conclusions. 1. Bart says since we do not have the original text therefore we cannot know if we have an authentic record. Using this same criteria we would have to dismiss the record of every ancient book because we do not have any those original autographs either since they all decay with time. It is standard procedure to assess reliability based on the agreement of the copies. 2. Bart says the Alexandrian text is the closest to the original text. This is pure speculation which goes against the real evidence. The early church writings are replete with Scriptural citations that do not show a connection to the Alexandrian text. Those citations are more ancient than the extant Alexandrian texts that we have. We could not even construct a complete NT without the Byzantine family of texts because the Alexandrian texts are missing large portions of the Scriptures. Sinaiticus has later revisions from their original authorship showing that the scribes of that era knew the Alexandrian Sinaiticus was corrupted. Early translations do not show a reliance on the Alexandrian texts. The early church used a text family that was more Byzantine and came from the original geographical locations of the texts where the apostles had their ministry. The textual theories of conflation for longer readings were promoted by Hort and Westcott, and then Metzger; but many Critical Text advocates have realized that the alleged examples of conflation are in some cases flawed and in others purely speculative. Even the famous Trinity passage is cited by early church writers showing its existence earlier than our oldest extant manuscripts. Jerome collected the best manuscripts of his time when he wrote the Vulgate and no one disputed his inclusion of the Trinity text. There are many other Scriptures which teach the Trinity. In the very beginning God said Let "us" make man in "our" image--and we are body, soul, and spirit. 3. If the Alexandrian Sinaiticus text is relegated to the trash where it was discarded, we now have large consensus with only minor scribal errors among the majority of the manuscripts. The early church record indicates that texts were being corrupted which is why they primarily used the Byzantine family. 4. Bart says the Quran does not have variants. But Bart does not mention that Uthman gathered and destroyed all textual variants in order to create a standardized Uthmanic text for the Quran. 5. Bart says the there are no textual families in the Torah, but the Masoretic text is a family of texts. 6. Bart says the Yahweh of the OT promoted genocide, but Bart does not mention that the Canaanite nations of that time used genocide indiscriminately while Yahweh limited the killing to those nations who resisted the Israelite possession of the land. Bart does not mention that the new covenant in the NT changes our covenant conduct. Bart does not mention that this is more of a problem for Judaism, because Judaism still considers the OT to be the current covenant. *These unsubstantiated presuppositions are sufficient to show that Bart is working towards a predetermined conclusion which lacks supporting evidence.

[@thelyrebird1310]

@zapkvr what did you read? Because the statement I made stands on it's own. If you need to have clarity on why I find the videos disappointing is because I find them to be little more than a promotion for something else and of little intrinsic value other than that. If that's difficult for you to comprehend from my previous statement then it's not me who needs to sit down, might I recommend some study in language comprehension or just a dummy you might prefer to spit out?

[@tjwhite1963]

I like Dr. Ehrman for a number of reasons, but one thing I fault him for is too readily swallowing the received scholarly concensus regarding the dating of the gospels, when in fact we effectively have no mentions of any gospel prior to around 100-110 CE., and certainly no attestation of any attempt to collect any books now in our canonical NT prior to ca. 144 CE. This should at least raise the very legitimate question of possibly dating the gospels to when they first become attested, and stop presupposing that they must have been written shortly after 70 CE, simply because the traditional view of Christian history and the gospels has said this for nearly two thousand years.

Trinitarians have propagated this, “You cannot be saved if you do not believe in the Trinity!” This is critical. In the past, the Roman Catholic Church has caused hundreds of thousands of Christians to be tortured, excommunicated, and persecuted for not believing in the Trinity. Trinitarians, both Catholic and Protestant, have executed many believers in Christ for not believing in the Triune doctrine. One of the most notorious executions was done by the Protestants: the execution of Michael Sevetus! Christians are to “Test all things; hold fast to what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). The freedom to test all things is a fundamental right for all Christians, and Christians should never be denied the right to pursue all truth. Censorship exists in most churches and open discussions on certain doctrines are discouraged. We are admonished, “But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed” (1 Peter 3:14-16). How does one defend something that God never revealed to be true, and only exists as a (Trinitarian) doctrine because men gathered in two or three Councils (the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, the Council of Constantinople in 381 CE, and the Council of Chalcedon 451 CE) with the audacity of defining God? The confused minds of these bishops have caused a doctrine of confusion. Modern Theologians admit that the Trinity is “beyond the grasp of human reason” (THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA, Vol. 27, “The Trinity,” 1980). Could the God of the Bible be the author of such confusion, never! The doctrine of the Trinity is all about confusion. Confusion, such as the Trinity, has no place in the doctrines of God, or the Bible, as “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33). “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament…The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies… It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three, and their unity were brought together in a single Orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (see “Trinity”, THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). In other words, the God of the Bible has never been revealed to be a Triune God, a Trinity. Christianity had no concept of God being a Trinity until the 4th century when bickering men of the clergy sought to define God, not by His revelation, but according to their terms, “homoousios,” “essence,” indeed! Apostolic “Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds” of the 4th-century church (see “God”, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, Vol. 2, p. 84). If one must believe in the Trinity doctrine to be saved, what of the early Christians who knew nothing of the doctrine of the Trinity up to the 4th century CE? Historian writer H.G. Wells, stated: “There is no evidence that the apostles of Christ ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from him” (The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499). Martin Luther, of the Protestant Reformation, in a documented sermon preached, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (THE SERMONS OF MARTIN LUTHER, Vol. 3, p. 406). Two major Scriptural pillars of the Trinity are Matthew 28:19, and 1 John 5:7, and scholars consider these verses to be interpolations, words that were added later to the Bible. Scholars such as F. C. Conybeare have shown that the Trinitarian baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 was not original to the text of Matthew, and therefore is, in fact, an interpolation (F.C. Conybeare, "The Eusebian Form of the Text of Mt. 28:19," ZNW 2 (1901): 275-88). Christ never said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost…” (Matthew 28:19 KJV). In other words, this phrase in the text "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," was not known in the Apostolic Church before the third and fourth centuries. Indicating that the disciples never knew to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Was this phase inserted at a later date (say, for example, after the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451)? The statement of Christ, as opposed to Matthew 28:19 an interpolation, appears to be in the Gospel of Luke, and we read, “Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:46-47). Where is the evidence of Matthew 28:19 being an interpolation? According to the church historian, Eusebius, who quotes Christ, according to the original text, saying in Matthew 28:19: “Go and make disciples of all the nations in My name” (Eusebius, THE HISTORY of the CHURCH, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965, completed by Eusebius c. 316 CE, see “Introduction,” p. xxxii). This explains why the disciples of Christ never baptized “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” because the Lord never said to them to go baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Another glaring proof is that the disciples were never baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” Proving that Christ’s quote in Matthew 28:19, in the Gospel, as written today, was not original. The baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19, as it presently stands is in direct contradiction with all of the following passages: [Acts 2:38 NASB] “Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” [Acts 8:12 NASB] “But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike.” [Acts 10:48 NASB] “And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.” [Romans 6:3 NASB] “Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?” [1 Corinthians 1:13 NASB] “Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” [Galatians 3:27 NASB] “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” According to the Church historian Eusebius, the original Matthew 28:19 quotes Christ, saying, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name.” This would conform with baptizing in Christ’s name only by the disciples as commanded by Christ. The conspiracy to change the words of Christ in Matthew 28:19 to bolster the Trinity doctrine also included redacting of the Didache (7:1), and all church writings previous to the 4th century. It includes the proven and well-known interpolation of the Johannine Comma, 1 John 5:7. Despite the Orthodox/Roman Catholic thoroughness to conform all writings of the early church to their Trinitarian doctrine, they evidently overlooked Eusebius’ History of the Church, and so the exposed conspiracy continues to this day!

As I listen carefully to these scholars, they never realize (or reject) or discuss the role of God in the writing, transmission and preservation of the texts. I did enjoy Tabor's discussion of the Dead Sea scrolls. I do enjoy listening to the historical and textual critics because they, here and there, give facts that enlighten the "mystery of the faith." I thank God (through faith in the work of the Holy Spirit and reverent scholars) that I am able to pick up my RSV, ESV or KJV and "know" I am reading reliable translations of ancient texts.

[@jameswright...]

If god isn't real then by default you have nothing from god. This is what's realised by these scholars. The bible be it kjv or the others are not correct translations and we know the mistakes and added extras. The bible is wrong historically scientifically and morally.

@@studiodemichel The KJV includes several translation errors. There are several lists of them you can easily find online.

It's all true what you say. We would assume God brought one relegion which centres mainly on monotheism and guidance from the prophets of the time to their people in their language. Distortions happened in between the prophets. Except for the last prophet where a promise of preservation was given by God. And this final word has brought to light what was hidden in the distortions of previous. God guides whom he wills though the truth is in plain sights in Islam. May God guide us in seeing.

John wrote his Gospels in very simple text, and it is not excellent Greek. What is difficult is the profound theology that he expressed simply. John wrote his epistles and Revelation much later. It is no uncommon for writing styles, even vocabulary, to change as a person ages. That does not mean John stopped being John.

Most biblical scholars, I think, believe that the author of the Gospel of John is not the same person as John of Patmos, the author of Revelation. There is evidence for both views, however.
