CHIEF TRANSLATOR: Edward D. Andrews. Updated American Standard Version (UASV) Our primary purpose is to give the Bible readers what God said by way of his human authors, not what a translator thinks God meant in its place.-Truth Matters! Our primary goal is to be accurate and faithful to the original text. The meaning of a word is the responsibility of the interpreter (i.e., reader), not the translator.-Translating Truth!
The translation of God’s Word from the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek is a task unlike any other and should never be taken lightly. It carries with it the heaviest responsibility: the translator renders God’s thoughts into a modern language. The Updated American Standard Version (UASV) is a literal translation.
What originals? The one Constantine Simonides wrote in 1840 with eye witness accounts & Tishindorf of the 1800's had their hands in?? The one where half the pages are still white??
Most of the motifs described in the video stem from mythologies that predate Christianity, things like sacrifice, atonement and resurrection are not unique to the Christian faith
You do realize that the Old Testament was before the New Testament and that sacrifices go back to Noah getting off of the ark? Also, the sacrifices under the Mosaic Law were far different from those of secular nations.
Who is here because of Dr. DC Ammon hillman ? From the lady Babylon RU-vid channel ? He’s always asking why Jesus was arrested with a naked young man in a public park at 4 AM mark 14:51-52. Addendum’: Anyway, besides that there is no scholarly consensus on its authenticity. Dr. james tabor knew Morton Smith, and does not think he forged it. Now he could just be saying that because they were friends you never know I suggest everybody do their own research.
God warned us about textual criticism in his word. 1 Timothy 6:20 King James Bible O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Textual criticism is opposition of science falsely so called..
I hate to break it to you, but the TR, which the KJV is based on, was also compiled with textual criticism. Erasmus and others just had fewer manuscripts to work with.
@@Silky4everThe Textus Receptus is based on the KJV, not the other way around. The KJV's translators drew heavily from the Tyndale Bible - about 5/6 (83%) of the KJV New Testament is Tyndale's words and about 3/4 (76%) of the KJV Old Testament is Tyndale's words. In turn, Tyndale's New Testament was translated into English using Erasmus’ 3rd printed edition of the text compiled from only eight Greek manuscripts (all dated from the 11th to 16th centuries, with heavy reliance on manuscripts from the 12th to 14th centuries). The translators of the KJV didn't examine any manuscripts for themselves. What they used was _printed critical editions_ (not actual manuscripts) of the Greek & Hebrew texts produced by Erasmus, Stephanus & Bezae - and even the Latin Vulgate. The Textus Receptus as we now know it wasn't compiled until 1894 (i.e. 283 years later) by Scrivener, who looked for _printed editions_ (again, not actual manuscripts) of the Greek & Hebrew texts supporting the KJV translation, from which he then created the Textus Receptus. Since then, the Textus Receptus has been revised many times and today there are over 100 versions of it. So which Textus Receptus do KJV-onlyists say we should rely on and what makes that edition the one and only "correct" one?
Outstanding information! This is absolutely true! The Biblical story is proof of God’s plan for mankind and history, archeology, and other fields of knowledge does not disprove but prove its validity and reliability.
Dr. Wallace, We love you so much brother. You're God's gift to the body of Christ. As a former muslim, I have always benefited from your ministry so much. I pray for you brother.❤❤❤
the reading "raise the dead" (Mt.10.8) *IS* found in the KJV and the TR... i suspect the confusion is due to it being omitted from the Byzantine text and the Majority of MSS... 😋
Dr. Dan I want to tell you that you and your speeches that i encountered on the internet really helped me to be confident on the reliability of the new testament. God bless you and thank you from ETHIOPIA

We don't have proof any gospel being written in the 1st century. We don't have any original, hand written gospel. Not 1. None of the gospels we're familiar have a known author. Lack of evidence is rarely a problem for Christians

Is Islam a Heresy from a Christian Perspective? Introduction This article that goes with the video examines the Islamic faith from a Christian perspective, addressing the question of whether Islam can be considered a heresy within Christian doctrine. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices, their historical development, and how they diverge from Christian teachings. Understanding Islam and Its Foundations The Life of Muhammad: Muhammad, the founder of Islam, claimed to receive revelations from Allah, which formed the basis of the Quran. The Quran: The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be a revelation from God. Its teachings significantly differ from biblical narratives and Christian doctrines. Key Islamic Beliefs and Practices The Six Pillars of Belief: These include belief in Allah, his angels, his books, his messengers, the Day of Judgment, and predestination. The Five Pillars of Islam: These are Shahada (faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (almsgiving), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Divergence from Christian Doctrine Concept of God: Islam strictly emphasizes monotheism (Tawhid), rejecting the Christian concept of the Trinity. Jesus in Islam: Islam acknowledges Jesus (Isa) as a prophet but not as the Son of God or the Savior, contradicting central Christian beliefs. Salvation and Atonement: Islam lacks the Christian concept of salvation through Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice, focusing instead on adherence to the Five Pillars and moral conduct for salvation. Historical Expansion of Islam The expansion of Islam after Muhammad's death, including the creation of various sects (e.g., Sunni and Shia), reflects its historical and theological evolution, further diverging from Christian teachings. Islam and Radical Beliefs While the majority of Muslims do not subscribe to radical Islam, there are sects and interpretations that endorse extreme practices, such as those witnessed in radical jihadist movements. These practices are often at odds with both Islamic and Christian teachings on peace and justice. Nevertheless, one has to understand there are 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. It is estimated that 15% are made up of those who support the radical views of Islam privately, those who would help finance those radical views, and those who would carry out those radical views through violent actions. This would mean 27,000,000 million Muslims fit into this category. If we ever doubted this, the terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, is evidence of such. The number of pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian protesters around the world screaming for the destruction of the Jewish people has surprised many. These are sleepers in society that you never knew were there. Evaluating Islamic Teachings Hadith and Sunnah: These are collections of Muhammad’s sayings and actions, which, along with the Quran, form the basis of Islamic jurisprudence (Shariah law). Shariah Law: It governs many aspects of a Muslim's life and can include practices that are contrary to contemporary Christian values and human rights standards. SHARIAH LAW EXCURSION Shariah Law, derived from Islamic religious texts, including the Quran and Hadith, is a legal framework intended to guide the lives of Muslims. However, from a conservative Christian and human rights perspective, several aspects of Shariah Law are viewed as problematic, particularly concerning the treatment of women, individuals with same-sex attraction, and children. Treatment of Women under Shariah Law Shariah Law imposes strict regulations on women's behavior, dress, and legal rights. It often enforces a patriarchal structure: Marital and Legal Rights: In many interpretations of Shariah Law, women have fewer rights in marriage and are subject to stringent divorce regulations. A man can divorce his wife more easily than a woman can divorce her husband. Women’s testimonies in courts are often given less weight than men's. Dress Code and Public Behavior: Shariah mandates specific dress codes for women (like wearing a hijab), often justified as a means of maintaining modesty. Non-compliance can lead to legal and social consequences. Education and Employment: In some regions where Shariah Law is strictly enforced, women's access to education and employment is limited, impeding their ability to be financially independent and participate fully in society. Treatment of Individuals with Same-Sex Attraction Shariah Law is often extremely punitive towards individuals with same-sex attraction: Criminalization of Homosexuality: In many Islamic countries where Shariah Law is applied, homosexual acts are illegal and can lead to severe punishments, including death. This strict stance lacks compassion and fails to recognize the dignity and rights of individuals with same-sex attraction. Social Stigma and Discrimination: The law reinforces negative stereotypes and social stigmas against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to discrimination, harassment, and violence. Treatment of Children under Shariah Law Children's rights under Shariah Law also raise concerns: Child Marriage: Shariah Law does not always set a minimum age for marriage, leading to child marriages. This practice can have severe physical, psychological, and emotional impacts on children, especially girls. Education and Freedom: Children, particularly girls, may have restricted access to education. Their freedom to explore different beliefs and lifestyles can also be limited. Consequences for Muslims Marrying Non-Muslims Shariah Law typically discourages or forbids Muslims from marrying non-Muslims, especially in the case of Muslim women. This restriction can lead to familial and social ostracization, legal repercussions, and in some cases, severe punishment that I cannot mention on RU-vid. Other Concerns Other aspects of Shariah Law that are often viewed as problematic include: Punitive Measures: Practices like amputation for theft or stoning for adultery, though not universally applied, are part of the legal framework in some interpretations of Shariah Law. Freedom of Religion: Conversion from Islam to another religion (apostasy) is often met with severe punishment, including death. This stance contravenes the principle of religious freedom. Blasphemy Laws: These laws, ostensibly to protect religious sentiments, can be used to suppress dissent and limit freedom of speech. From a conservative Christian and human rights perspective, Shariah Law contains elements that are deeply concerning, especially regarding the treatment of women, individuals with same-sex attraction, and children. It often imposes strict and sometimes punitive measures that can infringe on basic human rights and freedoms. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial in advocating for a more compassionate and just approach that upholds the dignity and rights of all individuals. END OF EXCURSION Islam in Light of Christian Apologetics Apologetic Approach: Engaging in dialogues with Muslims requires understanding Islamic beliefs and respectfully presenting Christian doctrines. Contrasting Theologies: Key differences in the understanding of God, Jesus Christ, and salvation are essential topics in interfaith dialogues. The Rise of Radical Islam An examination of the factors contributing to the rise of radical Islam, including political, socio-economic, and theological aspects, from a Christian perspective. Conclusion From a Christian doctrinal standpoint, Islam is considered a divergent belief system with significant theological differences, particularly in the understanding of God, Jesus Christ, and salvation. While some may say that it is not productive to label Islam as a heresy in interfaith dialogues, conservative Christianity does not support interfaith (the Bible speaks against the practice of interfaith), so we need to understand these differences as they are crucial for more than meaningful theological discussions and effective Christian apologetics. This evaluation aims not to condemn all Muslims but to foster a deeper understanding of Islamic beliefs, paving the way for respectful and informed conversations between Christians and Muslims who are receptive to dialogue.

What is the Original Reading of John the Baptist's Testimony about Jesus in John 1:34? Introduction John 1:34 presents a textual variant in the New Testament that has garnered significant attention among scholars. The question is whether John the Baptist referred to Jesus as "the Son of God" (ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ) or "the chosen one of God" (ο εκλεκτος του θεου). This article examines the textual evidence and theological implications of each reading, aiming to determine the most likely original wording used by John the Baptist. Textual Evidence Reading as "the Son of God": This reading, supported by 𝔓66, 𝔓75, 𝔓120, א2, A, B, C, W, Δ, Θ, and Ψ, is found in the Textus Receptus (TR), Westcott-Hort (WH), and Nestle-Aland/United Bible Societies (NU) texts. This reading has strong external support, especially from early papyri and significant uncials. Reading as "the chosen one of God": This variant is found in 𝔓5, 𝔓vid, א*, ite, and syrc. Although it is not as widely attested in the manuscript tradition, its presence in early papyri and key Western witnesses suggests its antiquity. Conflated Reading: The presence of a conflated reading, “chosen son of God,” in ita, syrpal, and copsa manuscripts indicates that both readings existed early in the textual transmission process. Analysis of Textual Variants Examination of Manuscripts: The transcription error in 𝔓5 and the correction in Codex Sinaiticus (א) suggest textual instability in the early transmission of John 1:34. Historical Plausibility: Scholars like Gordon Fee argue that "chosen one" is more likely to be original, as it might have been altered to "Son of God" by orthodox scribes to counter adoptionism or to align with the Synoptic accounts and Johannine theology. Theological Implications: "Chosen one of God" adds a unique messianic title to John 1, aligning with Isaiah 42:1 and enriching the chain of messianic titles in the Gospel. In contrast, "Son of God" is a frequent Johannine title but may be seen as repetitive within the context of John 1. Evaluation of Scholarly Opinions Orthodoxy and Textual Alteration: The hypothesis that early scribes altered the text for doctrinal reasons is plausible but requires careful consideration of the historical context and the scribes' theological understanding. Contextual and Literary Analysis: The Johannine context, which frequently refers to Jesus as "the Son of God," supports the traditional reading. However, the unique contribution of "chosen one of God" to the messianic titles in John's Gospel cannot be overlooked. Recent Scholarship: The discovery of 𝔓106 and 𝔓120, with their respective readings, has revitalized the discussion, showing that both readings have early origins. Conclusion The textual variant in John 1:34 presents a complex scenario where both readings, "the Son of God" and "the chosen one of God," have early and substantial manuscript support. The decision regarding the original reading hinges on an evaluation of the manuscript evidence, the historical context of early Christian scribes, and the theological implications of each reading. While "the Son of God" aligns with the broader Johannine Christology, "the chosen one of God" offers a unique and contextually rich messianic title that complements the Gospel's portrayal of Jesus. The ongoing scholarly debate reflects the rich textual history of the New Testament and the nuances of early Christian theology. In Summary The critical texts TR WH NU have ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ “the Son of God,” which is supported by P66 P75 P120 א2 A B C W Δ Θ Ψ 083. Variant 1 has “chosen son of God” supported by ita syrpal copsa. Variant 2 is probably the original, which reads (ο εκλεκτος του θεου) “the chosen one of God,” which is supported by early and diverse manuscripts P5vid P106vid א* ite syrc,s. Variant 2, “the chosen one of God,” is the unusual reading, then changed to the usual reading of the critical texts “the Son of God.” Yet, both have early and diverse manuscripts, so either reading could be original.

@@christiansamaroo You might want to reread the Bible. Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. There are dozens of places in the NT where Jesus is called the Son of God, and he NEVER argues against that claim, and the NT authors under inspiration called him "Son of God."

Are the links not working? I know it is a stupid question, but have you tried clicking on the links? If they are not working for you, try copying and pasting them into the web address at the top of a new tab. If that does not work, go to Amazon and just copy and paste the title and subtitle into the search area on Amazon under books. I might also ask what country you are from because those links are for the United States Amazon, and in each country, Amazon adds a tweak to their web addresses. So, a search on the Amazon you use might be best. Let me know.
It might be because those are USA (.com) If you are in another part of the world, you might have to use the Amazon for your region. I click the links and they work for me, and right now I am in Chile. I am not sure what more I can suggest, Maybe just put the Updated American Standard Version in the Amazon search for eBooks. It is on Logos Bible Software too (www.logos.com/product/231432/updated-american-standard-version) It is also going to be on e-Sword soon for free.@@HashimWarren
I believe that Daniel has said that the average number of pages in a NT GK manuscript is 200 pages and that we have about 5,000 manuscripts. So is it fair to say that we have 1 million pages of NT Greek manuscripts? The other half of the question is that I've heard a general number of 400,000 variants, does that mean that there are roughly 1 variant for every 2 pages of New Testament Greek manuscripts?
Here is an article by Edward D. Andrews, who has written 220 books and 20+ books on Old Testament and New Testament textual studies. It will help you get the complete picture. You are correct; 5,898 Greek NT manuscripts and 400,000+ textual variants exist. I don't know how you are counting to get the one million pages. We must remember that most manuscripts do have the whole NT, but some are fragments. Some are so small it would fit in the palm of your hand. What I can tell you is this, after 500 years of dozens of world-renowned textual scholars working to restore the original words to the original texts, between the 1881 Westcott and Hort Greek NT and the 2012 28th edition of the Nestle Aland Greek NT, we have a 99.99% reflection of the originals. In fact, the 1881 WH Greek NT is 99.5% the same as the 2012 NA Greek NT. And this is after discovering 140+ Greek NT papyri manuscripts, many dating within decades of the originals, in the 20th century that WH did not have. They added minor things but their value is that they validated the exceptional work Westcott and Hort did. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I hope this helps. The article below is extremely beneficial. What Are Textual Variants, and How Many Are There? uasvbible.org/2021/11/30/what-are-textual-variants-and-how-many-are-there/
I can confidently say that I have watch at least once every single video posted on RU-vid related to Daniel Wallace, and all I can say, each video is a master class in itself, GOD Bless you Mr. Wallace.
Another recommendation is Edward D. Andrews, who has written 220 books and 20+ books on Old Testament and New Testament textual studies. He comes at it not only from a textual scholar perspective but an apologetic mindset. Many thanks for taking the time to respond.

The early church was expecting the imminent return of Christ, textual criticism would have been the last thing on their minds. Who cares if you misquote Paul a little - it's the last days in you're about to be raptured. I think that's partially why you have so much variation.
I hardly think so. See the article below. Nowhere in the NT do you find a dismissive attitude such as yours. In fact, the inference would be to ignore such a person. You really need to study the history of how the Bible came down to us. See book recommendations after the free articles below. Lastly, see the article on the rapture below.

@@williambrewer The purpose of our blogs, is not to be Facebook comments in length. We have thousands of articles on 125+ Bible subject areas, which are anywhere from 5 pages to 150 pages in length. Our mission is not to hand our nibbles that curb hunger pains. WE CAN TRY AGAIN (HERE IS ANOTHER ARTICLE): Are You Waiting for the Rapture? christianpublishinghouse.co/2016/12/13/what-does-the-bible-really-say-about-the-rapture/ Many do not know that 95% of the 2.8 billion Christians are biblically illiterate. That is not our opinion; it comes from reputable Christian polling companies over the past 40 years. So, our mission is to educate them and win disciples at the same time.
Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred sixteen" (Revelation 13:18). THE MAN is the idol god-man "Yashosh" preached by the liar Paul, and the number of the idol god-man's name when written in ancient Hebrew is 616. This name and number have been incorporated into the symbolism of the Great Seal of the United States. The six-point star is one 6. The Latin word UNUM means "one." And the six different groupings of 13 stars, 13 stripes, 13 olives, 13 olive leaves, 13 arrow heads, and 13 arrow tails amounts to 78 and 13 goes into 78 six times. This is the second 6. Hence, "6 UNUM 6" gives you 616. The number 616 is spread out across the back of the U.S. dollar bill with one 6 hidden inside the reverse of the Great Seal with its unfinished pyramid of 78 bricks and 13 layers (78 ÷ 13 = 6). Then there is the word "ONE" in the middle of the bill in all upper case letters. Then the second 6 is hidden in the obverse of the Great Seal, as explained above, by the six different groupings of 13 stars, 13 stripes, 13 olives, 13 olive leaves, 13 arrow heads, and 13 arrow tails (78 ÷ 13 = 6). Hence, "6 ONE 6" gives you 616. The United States of America is the beast and the President of the United States of America is the beast leading it every four years. The President never has to be a genuine Christian or even a devoutly religious person. But he must show respect to the idol god-man "Yashush" and be sworn into office by putting his hand on the book of the idol god-man whose name is Yashush and the number of whose name is 616. Now if you're wise in Hebrew, translate this name "Yashush" to English.
