mythvisionpodcast.com/corruption
Bart's new course "The Scribal Corruption of Scripture: How The Bible Was Changed And How Readers May Never Know," delves into the heart of one of the most crucial questions for those interested in the Christian religion: How can we be sure we have the original writings of the New Testament?
In a world where the first copies made by the authors have been lost to time, and we possess only hand-written copies of copies, often created centuries later, this course explores the authenticity of the New Testament texts.
While these lectures draw inspiration from Bart's best-selling book, there's no need to have read it to fully appreciate this course. Instead of simply rehashing the book's content, Bart will take a novel approach to essential questions, introducing fresh examples and diverse arguments to delve into the complexities of deciphering the original New Testament writings from surviving manuscripts.

That is what it really says. With the research tools we have today there is no excuse for not knowing the truth This is how I know it is right also if Peter was handed everything would he have said this ending the conversation? Mat 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. Also the trial of Jesus before Pilate we have 5 denials he is "The Christ" and one place that says he said he was but they dropped a negating particle in the one that says he is "The Christ" This is why he warns calling him "The Christ" is the massive deception in Matthew 24: 5

Why start a movement that you believe or want to continue, especially for thousands of years when you think your God is going to bring an end to the Earth as they knew it within the next few decades at best?

The "world" for most European and Middle Easterners of the time was, in fact, the Roman Empire. The prophecy was, that Rome would fall and be replaced by the Kingdom of God. The Catholic Church believes that prophecy has been fulfilled in the birth of Roman Catholicism. Protestants, of course, are still waiting for something to happen. This actually serves to solidify the legitimacy of the RC Church and delegitimizes all forms of Protestantism. This is one of the dozens of reasons why I converted to Catholicism as an adult.

I base my experience in knowing the Holy Spirit; knowing the presence of God in me, to guide me. I don’t worship the Bible. The Holy Spirit came to guide us into all truth as Jesus said; they had no New Testament bibles at that time. No one did; it happened over time. That’s just it; they had only the Holy Spirit and the apostles to guide people, and this is where it got lost in translation and multiple sects developed on those things they didn’t have a full explanation on. Each group naturally Believed they were following the right way toward Jesus. Before the canon ever existed. That earliest group of apostles as We are told knew the Holy Spirit who was guiding them to truth. That earliest church was Holy Spirit filled; in 33 ad. For sometime. We can imagine they spread out for a while.

@@LennyCash777 Some are just not grounded enough in biblical studies, textual criticism, etc. They are the seed that gets thrown on thin soil. It grows fast but soon dies out. God's providence determined our bibles today. Some worry over 'editing', textual variances among differing manuscripts, etc. Indeed, a stumbling block to those who lack wisdom. I've read Dr. Ehrman's "theories" on the resurrection (outline of them and on other sites, to clarify). Inspiring Philosophy (excellent KZfaq channel, he's a theistic evolutionist - has good content) did an excellent analysis on all the alternate theories of the resurrection and included Ehrman's. None make any sense and assume an anti-supernatural bias. Despite centuries of critics....the tomb is still empty. The resurrection alt theories fail. And when the conclusion points to our Lord's resurrection from death, we must look at the entire bible from that lens. Oh, and Ehrman saying "O.T. God of wrath...N.T. God of only love" what gibberish. Nonsense. Jesus in the gospels warned of eternal damnation more so than the O.T. books. Even the famous John 3:16 verse, "For God so loved the world, that He sent His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him SHOULD NOT PERISH but have everlasting life." Jesus warns us often (as a loving father warns his son or daughter to behave, etc.)

When asked why, Ignatius Treadway stated that his hand was cramping up and he needed to shorten the speeches. This action is a violation of The Holy Scrivener Pact of Bartleby. See?

When I did my undergraduate work under C.K. Barrett in Theology at Durham in the UK way back in the 1970s, the first example of ‘scribal corruption’ that was discussed was 1 John chapter 5:7(‘as it is written, Only by the testimony of two or three witnesses shall there be enough evidence to establish facts in a case in order to pass any [including death] sentence-and we have three witnesses even the blood, the water & the spirit’ where the scribes after the year 450 CE began changing the text to read, ‘even the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit’… which is a deliberate scribal corruption of the earlier handwritten ms copies done ‘to place the text more in line with what pass’d for ‘later trinitarian orthodoxy’ which is not otherwise found in NT canonical texts …

The Trinity is not based on one passage and was understood long before the scribal error entered into the text. BTW, the passage never talked about "it is written by the testimony of two or three witnesses shall there be enough evidence to pass a death sentence-and we have three witnesses". The original was . "6This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ-not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are three that testify:b 8the Spirit, the water, and the blood-and these three are in agreement."

Just curious is all - btw textual corruption we see in the later copies are tantamount to downright forgeries - one shudders to imagine how many other deliberate changes of the ‘ur-text’ had been made especially in the earliest copies of the canonical Greek NT which very often did not comply with later orthodoxy as is the case with 1 John chapter 5… Also where in any early NT text would you find any reference at all to trinitarian doctrine ? Hint : you won’t find any reference to the ‘trinity’ in any ms written prior to 360 CE - just sayin’ Also ‘by the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses shall any accusation of guilt be confirm’d in court [some DSS include ‘including capital offences’] - the citations of Torah and other Hebrew-Aramaic texts by the author of the 4th canonical Greek gospel (‘according to Yohanon ho Presbuteros’ whoever he was) is often partial / fragmented or very faulty- especially in clumsy English translations which carry over the errors in the Greek- for example ‘For, lo, it is written : the Salvation of Yisroel [in the north] shall come from Yehudah [i.e. in the south]’ from ‘the testaments of the 12 patriarchs being the sons of Yakkov’ [see The Testament of Naphtali chapter 13) which was originally regarded as ‘defiling the hands’ (I.e. holy writ) by the earliest messianic Nazorean churches and is grossly mis-quoted in Greek in John 4:22 rendered as ‘for salvation is from the Jews’ with any reference to ‘Yisroel’ carefully removed from the logion… Other extra-canonical books ‘quoted as holy scripture’ in the NT include Jude 1:14-17 (‘as it is written in the scroll of the book of the words of Henoch 7th from Adam : in that Day YHWH himself shall descend upon the mount of olives with myriads of his holy ones with him in order to pass Judgement upon all flesh…’ and also ‘the Book of the Assumption of Moses’ where Santanas quarrels over the corpse of Moses etc. Both ‘the Book of the Words of Henoch, son of Jared, seventh from Adam’ & ‘the Book of the Testaments of the 12 patriarchs being the sons of Yakkov’ are still to this day regarded as ‘defiling the hands as holy canonical scripture’ in the Aethiopian Christian churches who have preserved a number of compleat Dead Sea scrolls in their own Q’ez Aethiopic translations greatly aiding the reconstructions of these texts (which also include ‘Jubilees’ aka ‘the Book of the Divisions of the Times of the Torah as they are sub-divided into their Jubilees & Week-Years from the beginning of Creation to the Tiqqun on the Day of Judgement of all Flesh’ - so the ‘new Testament canon’ was still very fluid before the late 4th century in terms of what books ‘were suitable for reading in the churches’ on weekly services …

I remember reading in Genesis (Garden of Eden)--well over a decade ago--that not only would women suffer greatly in childbirth BUT they'd be ruled over by men and treated as doormats. The latter seems to have disappeared from the Scriptures. BTW, Jesus never described himself as God, the Father, but as the son of God. He described the Father, the source of all life, Yahweh, as perfect and the greatest of all. Jesus said He only said and did what He heard and saw the Father doing. In versions of The Bible I've read, Jesus renamed Simon 'Cefus' which means 'rock'. Jesus said, 'Upon this rock I will build my church.' Makes perfect sense as Jesus spoke of building a house upon a rock---giving it a strong foundation--instead of upon sand which wasn't sturdy or lasting.

The only reason Paul even knows about Jesus as some sort of god who supposedly died for people's sins is because the people he was persecuting believed that already before he converted! The deification of Jesus occured shortly after his death; a rationalisation from his followers trying to explain why their Messiah was slaughtered on a cross.

The big problem in my opinion is that the books don't even go back to its alleged authors. Jewish sources for example confirm that the scribe Ezra re-established the torah after it has been forgotten. Many passages of todays torah cant even have been written by Moses and can only have been written long after Moses, e.g. the passage which says that until this day Moses grave is unknown or that until today there was no prophet like Moses in Israel. So there must have been a long time between Moses and the text written. Genesis also doesnt mention Moses once. There are so many problems alone with the allegded books Moses.

Just want to infer about this for anyone with more information, when Jesus asks his disciples “who do people say that I am”, this is very similar to the verses in the gospel of Thomas found at Nag Hammadi where Jesus asks the disciples (something along these lines) “Who or what can you say I am like?” Peter says a holy angel, Matthew saying He is like a wise philosopher, but Thomas responded that he could not possibly put to words who he is like. Jesus pulls Thomas aside and speaks three words to him privately, with Thomas returning saying he can’t tell the others what Jesus said or else they would throw stones at Jesus. Anyone with any insight on this?

Isn’t it valid the fraction of truth we have is enough to establish events actually took place? It seems there’s a trend of thinking that if there is even a minor contradiction or a translation issue it negates the entire book/writings. I get their have been many translations and wording changes, but at the end of the day why regardless of all these changes is there a continue reiteration of main events in the synoptics, and the emphasis of the resurrection in the remaining NT books.

There is something that "The Druids," and groups like them understood intuitively (Change a word change the meaning.) Given how many times The Bible has been translated and retranslated, and had the language updated, is it any wonder that "Corrupted Translations" exist.

@puraLusa 7 ай бұрын

Someone from translation studies here: all translations are corruptions themselves.

@jamespayne3181 7 ай бұрын

The translations have been taken directly from the original manuscripts. The so called retranslated is a misconstruction, the updated language was still taken from the original manuscripts. The only corrupted scriptures are from dishonest people adding to or taking away from the scriptures.

You can (and should) still refer to the writings in the original languages and decide for yourself whether it is a good translation. I certainly don't read just any translation, obviously the deceiver will try to hide or distort certain things that is important to understand to get saved.

@@petermarchi1935, no problem with the meaning and intent of the Bible, still telling the one same story starting with Genesis, ending with Revelation, the same story that can get you saved from satan's bondage, resurrect your spirit and restore your personal relationship with our Father, still doing what it was intended to do. As I've said the old and new testament are still available in the original languages, you can decide for yourself what is good translations, just do a little homework of your own.

@joeywilliams2675 7 ай бұрын

Roman Catholic. The hierarchy was established in that. It’s clear that the curtain being torn meant the priesthood was no more and I don’t see these followers of Jesus written of in the NT acting as priests either besides the baptism. But as elders helping guide one another. The reinvention of the priest hood starts with Roman Catholic. At least that’s the way it appears to me.

One question I have since the scriptures didn't say anything about this, is what would become of the children of these girls who had their families murdered who were taken as sex slaves when they would become pregnant and give birth? I wonder if the ancient Israelite men were using these girls to have sex with when they wouldn't want to get their Israelite wives pregnant, and if they were just killing the newborns? Because it says nothing about these War Brides bearing children for these Israelite men, so I just wonder if their sole purpose was to satisfy these men's sexual needs when they didn't want to get their wives pregnant, but kill The offspring to prevent impurity within the Israelite tribe was this ever a practice of the ancients?

@@JopJio well in some of the stories in the Old Testament they were given permission to spare and keep the virgin girls as spoils and marry them, so apparently there were exceptions being made. But it's still begs the question since contraception and condoms didn't exist back then, that they would have inevitably gotten these girls pregnant and that is what I'm wondering what became of the newborns. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the babies if they were female, but I have my doubts that they would have spared the males since the same Mercy wasn't extended to any of the males in the stories where the Israelites were commanded to kill everyone except for the virgin girls.

Dr Ehrman is my number one STARTUP and Kick-off Scholar/originator in religious studies. In the studies, all of the above (a really well-articulated summary of the background and formulation of Christianity as a broad subject) find application. Understanding the basics leads to Enlightenment of totality. This isn't the 17-18th Century Enlightenment we are talking about of course but rather Full Apologetics, Gnocism (and where it derails/how it loses the plot), the error of "modern strands of Christianity", and noted postulations/fact. I am however astounded that even Scholars, aren't able to practice faultfinding, error and analytics in their scholarly endeavours. As a forensics investigator, I came to the same conclusion in part as Marcion. Where and when the viewpoint became distorted (self-preservation, self-indulging, selfishness, self.. and society at the day and age are in large the principle and principal drivers of the thought processes at that given time). I always enjoy Br Bart's knowledge and analysis. I differ at a certain point of course, re the forensic analysis that moves away from pure "bible-thumping, fanaticism, etc. but follow the leads, thus note that OT and NT differ, and why, (what/where/when/how - I get from Dr Ehrman) in main.

The man we call Jesus wasn't trying to start a church or new religion. After extensive research it's obvious that Jesus came around to simply bring a message of hope and mystery. Too, it's also obvious that Jesus was trying his best to warn the Jews about their false God YHWH.

The man we call Jesus is a Greco-roman demi god (god/man) invented by the Romans to unite the roman empire under a new one world religion (christendom) and to bring all pagan religions under one main pagan god, jesus .. This Jesus is a different character, which the scriptures call the Anti-Christ, then the real Messiah of Israel, the man from Nazareth, the one who became the Son of YHWH
