Can we trust the Bible? Our faith is based on the New Testament–but can we really trust the Bible? Skeptics say no, arguing that the Gospel manuscripts have been doctored to push a theological agenda.

Join Dr. Craig Evans as he takes this claim head-on, traveling the globe to track down the most ancient New Testament Manuscripts. Along the way, he highlights groundbreaking new evidence, demonstrating that the case for the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts is stronger than ever.

Starring: John Rhys-Davies, Craig Evans PhD, Charles Hill PhD, W Andrew Smith PhD

Directed by: Reuben Evans

    It's as though God put in a type of blockchain security in the gospels that would last the test of time and show that his word was not and could not be distorted, changed, or revised without it being revealed that the gospels were changed. You understand my point? 🙏🏻
  • Have some sense of the trinity being superimposed at times.
    Cathedrals in Ireland sometimes refer to themselves as being
    named after “the Holy and undivided trinity”.

    The question could be at what point was
    the trinity divided? Evidently a reference
    to the role of scholars and of men.

    The higher thought when appreciating
    the trinity is to remind ourselves “that
    there is great unity in the
    name of God”!

    42:54 Constantine did NOT declare Christianity to be the "official religion of the Roman Empire." That was not done until 381 CE -- 4 decades AFTER Constantine died.

    42:40 Constantine did NOT declare Christianity the official religion of the Empire. That was Theodosius in 380 (Edict of Thessalonica). Don't you people bother to do basic research?

    Thanks for sharing. Great episode. GOD Bless.
  • @thecure728
    What about the verse 1 John 5:7-8? , that is a very huge discrepancy with great implications. You left that one out completely
  • @ChiliMcFly1
    I learned about God(YHVH) from the words of Jesus.
  • Why not just say he's the only begotten God? If God wanted to create a god who could die, why couldn't he? He did.

    49:10 Which group called themselves 'Gnostic?' 'Gnostic' is an umbrella term that includes a vast range of sects. They usually called themselves by some other term and modern scholars lumped them into a larger group. Many of today's scholars do not believe the term has a meaningful definition. Valentinians did not call themselves Gnostic. Sethians did not call themselves Gnostic. Manichaeans did not call themselves Gnostic. Mandeans did not call themselves Gnostic. Elchasaites did not call themselves Gnostic. Ophites did not call themselves Gnostic. Cathars did not call themselves Gnostic. Naassenes did not call themselves Gnostic. ainites did not call themselves Gnostic. Simonians did not call themselves Gnostic. Basilidians did not call themselves Gnostic. Thomasites did not call themselves Gnostic. Marcionites did not call themselves Gnostic. Cerinthians did not call themselves Gnostic. Carpocratians did not call themselves Gnostic. Etc. This statement is just plain misleading and not supported by evidence.

    The research and scholarship they have gone far enough to make conclusions fundamentally different than yours. In the end one must admit that the church teaches and believes in a way that doesn’t fit well with the current research and scholarship. The question is why? What justifies it?
  • @mikegyver3193
    Check these verses compared to the alternative Bibles to the King James 1611. Isaiah 14:12, Exodus 6:3 and Genesis 1:28 👀👂🏿🦻🏻 and there is much more 🤯

    All of these men in this video must believe in the Trinity because that is the only way they can say that the bible is gods words. Without the Trinity which was not what the original Christians believed it came later and i think it was due to the fact that people were starting to question the authenticity of the Bible being the word of god so the Church decided to claim that Jesus was GOD. therefore you have to believe the bible if you believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus but I do not believe he was god. I believe he is the son of god. But not the god described in the bible.
  • @IC27185
    There is NOTHING in the bible that talks about the Trinity. And these gentleman are leaving out a very important change that all thr translators of the original text have changed. The word Elohim is plural for Gods.. Ask any of your clergy about this word. That one word alone changes the whole narrative of the bible right from the beginning in Genesis 1:1
  • @IC27185
    How about the descrepency in Gods and Jesus's personalities?
