This is beautiful! Thanks, Wes Andy for the great stuff!

[@thebluebutterfly5177]

Every time I listen, I am just in ore. God's fruit. I could just listen all day!

[@dylsensei]

Wes looks like a chiseled sculpture of how a man should look lol. Big ups to these two dudes! They are doing the Lords work in different ways than we see on the regular! God is amazing and what he has done for us is the greatest thing we can barely imagine! Eternal life with him will be so sweet. Like that of a juicy fruit from a tree that never dies!

27:09 - Anyone asking why would somebody write their name son pillar, or something: To be remembered, to have recognition. We have inhererited this culture from the Romans here in Brazil, very often once someone makes something good for a particular comunity, that person's name will be written on pillar/stone describing the thing they have done, why they have done and on what year it was done. For example a library, that stone/pillar would set alongside that library, most likely near the entrance. Usually that stone/pillar is donated by someone else. You can see this all over the country

New book, reasons for and meaning of Christmas: “Promise and Hope: Good News of God’s Anointed One” Believe, act, share

[@josephryan8899]

great content but i think you misspoke about the adding of verse numbers. You said it was robert scrivener but it was actually robert estienne or stefanus.

They look so uncomfortable sitting on those small stools 😂😂l😂😂

5:20 The Quran's main version has ~77,000 words. It's a lot, right? The Bible has ~780,000 words (Protestant version) or ~850,000 words (Catholic/Orthodox version). It seems bigger because they use bigger letter formats, so the Quran seems to be about 1/3 of the Bible's size but it is actually less than 1/10. 😅

[@MAZINC25]

Can someone tell me what "the message" is?

[@KyleRollinsMammothSolutions]

Great question - I was given a copy growing up and I’m not sure what it is at all…

[@troyhie5047]

Prove to me when was he born? What date?

[@KIEFFNERCLAN]

Why would he? What would that prove? Luke tells us when Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to be numbered in the Roman census. The timing was relative to then current historical political figures where in power and where and the Augustinian census. Also, within a couple of years from when Zachariah was serving as priest in the temple. A month and a day would be a guesstimate.

[@4242brvrdbd]

I think exact dates would be very difficult because the calendar we rely on is Gregorian (created by a monk) (they also created our timekeeping systems) and not Julian calendar. But I bet there is a solid estimation someone has reverse engineered.

[@dylsensei]

Just have faith! Ask God through prayer to reveal himself to you! I love you and Jesus loves you and if you ask, sincerely, you will be guided by our ever loving and gracious father!

[@pacer108]

You even stated that after all these thousands of years the Bible has maintained the word of God. You don't think that after all these years the fact that the Bible has not only maintained its integrity but has been translated into so many different languages while maintaining its integrity is magical? It's why we're supposed to maintain a childlike mind when it comes to the Bible. It's the living word of God. You're supposed to write the scriptures on your heart. I love your content but you're coming at it from such a scholarly point of view that you're putting more faith in man than in God. The Bible would have never withstood the test of time if it was not ordained to do so by God himself.

[@pacer108]

I used the word maintained way too many times 😂😂

[@dragonslayer7587]

@Pacer108 . Keep in mind, he's using the term "magical" in a witchcraft way, not a Godly way. That's why Wes refers to movies, to prove his point. Of course WE who have the discernment of the Holy Spirit, are much different from those who don't know the Lord as a living God, who continues to walk with us today, and he's trying to explain why you can trust your Bible vs the untruths from people like Billy Carson, who proport himself to be, the scholar Wes Huff truly is. This IS an academic talk.

[@marcilynn300]

I agree. This almost gave me doubt the bible is supernatural. I trust Jesus to preserve truth.

[@PraiseYahforHeisHoly]

​@marcilynn300 if God made all of us and predestined those who preserved the word like a master chess player, is that not "magical"? God made the world we think of as ordinary. All of it is magical in that none of us could made a single grain of sand. Every breath you are able to take in is magical if you think about it.

[@Sums75]

This isn’t spiritual teaching. Though it is still edifying. Faith rooted in knowledge is true faith. The knowledge can be experiential, scriptural and historical. Each one has its own benefit and each one is as important as the other. When the world discredits the written word, men like this are used by God to strengthen his people and protect them with Faith to deflect lies that attempt to discredit and arm them with the word of truth to cut down falsehoods.
