Misquoting Jesus, Stanford Lecture, How Bible Got Tainted 1/10

[iTruth]

Supplementary: Arabic is Quran's original language. There are already Arabic manuscripts of Qur'an available in museums of Samarkand (Uzbekistan), Turkey and some other countries, [ dating back to 1st and 2nd century after Prophet's Hijrah (600s and 700s AD) ] and these manuscripts have same language, same verses and same chapters as the copies of Qur'an available today.

Unlike Bible, it was common to memorize whole Qur'an by heart, or else it was handwritten as there were no printers around)

[polymath7]

Skip to 4:00 -unless for some unfathomable reason you actually want to hear the introduction.

[Yuratchka]

Misquoting Jesus is awesome. It's easy to read through, thought provoking, and filled with information that every Christian needs to be aware of.

[Quincelee]

Clearly, those who watched didn't look at the entire 10 parts, and that's understood. But if you did or just watch the tenth one, he explains that oratory is not as precise as people may think. It's believed to be word for word, it isn't. Problems with misinterpretations may occur, some of what he mentions in this could have happened for the quran because someone still wrote it and it may have wrong translations and, do you really think a 1400 year old story would stay exactly the same? no way.

[iTruth]

This lecture wasn't about Quran but since you raised a question about "oratory not being precise", I find it necessary to add some exceptional facts to your knowledge.

1- Millions of Muslims in the world have memorized whole Quran by heart. It is very much common among 6 to 15 years old kids to memorize whole Quran by heart.

2- Only 15~18% of the Muslims are Arabs, 82~85% of them are non-Arabs. That meas Arabic is not their native language, so they don't know Arabic (except few who learn it).

[iTruth]

3- The fact that the Quran is automatically memorized in a way that they can detect and correct any recitation mistake on the spot, just by hearing it (or by reading it). If you want to witness an example of memorization of Quran, try this video: watch?v=3f-IZVqIre4

4- There have been thousands or at least hundreds of Muslims in any moment in history who remembered whole Quran by heart.

[iTruth]

Now, how many of Christians have you seen who memorized whole Bible by heart? And, how many non-English speakers have you witnessed who memorized whole Bible in English? Or how many non-greek speakers have you seen who memorized whole greek Bible by heart?

If you have any doubt about Muslims then I suggest you to visit a nearby mosque and see for yourself.

[RassBrass]

We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. Praise be to Him, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Him from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray.

[nomed44]

i challenge you people to find the understanding and the real meaning behind that word JESUS or Jehovah

you also have to remember that there were no JAYS or J's back in the day, everything was said with a Y instead

Bismillahirahmaanirahiim.

Qur'an 3:45-51

45. (Remember) when the angels said:"O Maryam(Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he was! i.e. 'Isa(Jesus) the son of Maryam(Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Isa(Jesus), the son of Maryam(Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah."

46. "He will speak to the people in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous."

[moamar225]

Bismillahirahmaanirahiim

49. And will make him ['Isa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.

[moamar225]

Bismillahirahmaanirahiim.

50. And I have confirming that which was before me of the Taurat (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me.

51. Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake...it was found in Syria, Allepo in 1997, not found in egypt...

Sorry : )

[rachael751]

Thanks so much for uploading this!!! It's great.

I'd just like to say that there has been a recent find in Egypt of a document written by the priest Heeba in the 5th century. He discusses the Nicene council,Jesus,Arius,Nestor, etc. Yusuf Zidan translated it into arabic but I don't believe there are any english copies yet..hopefully there will be soon..its very interesting..its called Azazil. Anyway, just a tidbit......

[MrBeego2]

I've read it (in Arabic), it is really an eye opener book and reveals a lot of facts about Christianity and Bible. The amazing thing, the book has an appendix with some pictures for the revealed manuscripts. I've heard that the book is in a translation process now, hopefully it will be available in English soon.

[LearnTruthFindPeace]

subhan'Allah

[faizbash]

This is the story of the Bible. But for the Quran, it has been preserved for more than 1400 years and remains exactly the same. Today you will find 10 years old (or less) kid that memorizes the Quran and he will correct you if you make a mistake as small as changing a vowel.

Oh good, I'm looking forward to watching this! Thanks for uploading.

VII. THOSE WHO KILL CHRISTIANS SHALL HAVE A HIGH PLACE IN HEAVEN

In Zohar (I,38b, and 39a) it says:  "In the palaces of the fourth heaven are those who lamented over Sion and Jerusalem, and all those who destroyed idolatrous nations ... and those who killed off people who worship idols are clothed in purple garments so that they may be recognized and honored."

[BekUSA]

V. A JEW WHO KILLS A CHRISTIAN COMMITS NO SIN, BUT OFFERS AN ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE TO GOD

In Sepher Or Israel (177b) it says: "Take the life of the Kliphoth and kill them, and you will please God the same as one who offers incense to Him."

[Rodiguez83]

Yes indeed my friend. I always like to mention in every of my comments that christianity today is fusion between mithraism and christianity. Christmas is actually celebration of the birth of Mithra the sun god on 25th December and easter is mithraism another festival which I'll study about it soon.

Peace.

[tikbalang65]

can somebody out there please give me a used book of dr. ehrman if he disagrees with him. i want to study more his methodology

[Mlamry]

Quran 2:77-79

Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim? (77) Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess. (78) Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby. (79)

[anyidplz]

He does make sense.

[peacegrip]

being a christian how do u worship? where does it say that u worship the way u do now in churches? i think ur answer will be , we do not really need to worship,, as our sins have been taken by jesus,, so its jesus who is to blame,, not u christians? that is very unjust,,,

[xbokit]

very interesting lecture, tks for uploading it

[seamr05]

This is brilliant!!!

[calliter]

That's a very scientific and scholarly exposition of the Bible.This man has done a great service to human minds especially the christians. It would be interesting if Dr. Bart Ehrman can make the same quality of study with the Qur-an. That's actually an challenge from the Qur-an for those who think.

[omaregypt88]

Im sure if he does his research he may very well convert :P

May God guide us all...

[liber8me]

why? the quran copied the greeks with their description of how the human embryo forms - and guess what? they were BOTH WRONG.

[iTruth]

liber8me did not provide any reference to what lies is he claiming, but here is an authentic reference about the docotor who wrote book Clinically Oriented Anatomy, which is the main textbook used for anatomy in medical schools across the USA, Canada and the UK. Every medical student knows of Moore and his blue boxes.

this guy reminds me of gary miller, all the great scholars are becoming Muslim, soon we will only see scholars(graduated from tv preaching academy) who preach Jesus(pbuh) loves you period.

[VAboi123]

Quran 2:79

" Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Alla(God)," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby."

[tudungsenduk]

The Bible just became gnostic and apocrypha.

[tudungsenduk]

Where does the doctrine of christianity comes from? From the Bible. If the bible is corrupted, does this mean that the doctrines are corrupted too ?

[amberview30]

No, it means always question before you accept something as fact. This video isn't about the koran. If you feel it is worthy of study then you research all sides to see what your opinion becomes. Never accept just one side of an issue before exploring others.

[peacegrip]

ISLAM is the only religion which is a complete way of life by our creator, judaism should have stopped when jesus preached the new message of God and christianity should have stopped when islam came. and remember judaism cancelled the previous scriptures as it contained all that were before. this is how the system works. so i request to all the people of faith or non faith to accept islam unconditionally.. or you will be prosecuted in the grave and on judgement day's hell fire.

[Caulfield789]

STOP SAYING "UH..." BART!

[ramosay]

thats was the main point of memorising the QURAN since it was revealed, and that is the reason QURAN never been changed , COZ IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF ITS PPL ,in every muslim house at least one person memorises the whole QURAN nd the rest is memorised at least haf or quater of it ,, and QURAN is been ricited in every muslims house everyday , and in their prayer , without memorising the QURAN we muslims can not do our prayer , coz we read portion of QURAN in every prayer ,

[Bogzy1989]

do you memorize the part where you kill us if we don't convert to Islam?

the Bible has no such thing.

[AntiHypo]

@Bogzy1989

I see, lets look at what bible says:

Deuteronomy 20:16 "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes"

Samuel 15:3 "3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass"

Genocide of infant Children in Bible??? Oh, crap, your accusation comes back and bites at your butt.

[AntiHypo]

Now lets see what Quran says about that:

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (The Noble Quran, 5:32)"

[ramosay]

its amazing when he stars a lecture he ads these words (if god performed inspiring the word of bible why then he did not performed a miracle of perserving his word )) well god did inspired by giving his words and perserving his words also , which is QURAN muslims were memorising QURAN from the day when it was revealed , thats was the main point of memorising the QURAN since it was revealed,

[boboe511]

This man is brilliant.

[thepeacemaker786]

The bible says that God is not a man ... not a son of man. (book of numers 23:19)

[guyshyin]

if u are a christian u should know the reason why there is a demon.

[thepeacemaker786]

Satan serves a purpose. God Wanted humans to have free choice between right and wrong. He Granted human beings an innate ability to recognize the Creator and turn to Him. The human being is considered to be originally good by nature, born pure in the state of (submission). To mankind, Satan and his hosts order evil and oppose good, seeking to misguide his avowed enemy into evil and idolatry,

[Kite207]

Yeah! Yeah! if something you dontlike or dont understand. Blame on the demons and devils. So christian of you.

[ndjarnag]

thanks for the upload :)

this should be interesting.

[kanajlo]

There _is_ no good reason for that. Keep asking questions and you'll see the truth.

[mtioran]

so he is missing some documents, so he immediately comes to a conclusion that the Bible is wrong. And he has NO proof that anyone misquoted Jesus. ..typical atheist..he is an apostate.....typical UNC egotist.

[diablo988]

and you have NO proof that the authors did not misquote Jesus. Typical religious fanatic taking everything on faith and not questioning anything he/she reads or is told...

[mustafagtgt]

The Bible is man made, Its a fact... So how can it be the Word OF GOD? The Quran is cleary the alternative

[Peacebwithyou]

what do you mean he has no proof. He shows you that when someone translates a language (ex: Greek to italian) it wont be the smae word for word. When a translation is made from that translation, there are even more differences because ever word cannot be translated word for word. And so the process continues with the bible.

[bwatafli]

if the words are not the same, meaning alters, thus it is not correct as it was before.

[Kergillian]

::Sigh::

Typical theist.

You said: "And he has NO proof that anyone misquoted Jesus."

But he DOES. Read his books. Heck, learn greek and read the older texts yourself.

[mscme1]

Ehrman exaggerates a teensy bit. I was in his class, and he's asked this question for years (for my class it was "how many of you think the bible is the inspired word of god? how many of you have read the lord of the rings? Harry Potter?  And the Bible?"). I for one didn't raise my hand to any of them at the time.

Even so, he's a fantastic professor.

[trac4yt]

...ask for a refund, with interest.

[mrfloos]

Now I have no doubt that the Bible is not God's word.

[drjtk76]

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Ehrman and his work and opinions. However, my opinion may differ from his, but please respect that it is my opinion, and of course, we can all agree to disagree. To me the Bible is the Living Word! It is more than words. It is alive. There is a Spirit that flows through it and from it, if one takes the time to examine the "gestalt" of it. I believe Jesus is the Living Christ, the Messiah, and the Gospels reveal His great love and His covenant with all of us.

[MahadAliMahad]

have you read it completely ? every christian will say no -except scholars- but they believe, yah jesus is alive. yah jesus is the lord. yah jesus is the messiah, yah bible is living god's word, but they don't read it , more than 80% don't go to church, they just keep saying yah,yah,yah.

[BrianJunglist]

just got this book reading now :)

[tumber3]

"misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman, is a very good book. It goes through very interesting topics and in a very interesting read.

Once you read the book "Misquoting Jesus" you'll realize some of the corruptions within the New Testament.

[aslanmaskadov]

Misquoting Jesus. Just finished the first reading. Great book!

[lundhunter]

From Dr Ehrman's book "Misquoting Jesus" he concluded that Bible is instead a human book. We cannot therefore use the Bible to prove what were the real words or events, by the same token, we cannot disprove them either.

In my opinion, therefore, discard all the "Thou Shalt" mentioned in Bible, do not use them as a righteous weapon to criticize others on how they should live, but listen to your heart, for that is where God speaks to you, if you believe.

[hallsirius]

Jesus really did say " blessed are the cheese makers." Then the bastards misquoted him.

[sunildevan81]

Funny how these people is trying to make sense of Jesus when they have never been there. Be thankful God gave you a brain to even stand up on stage.

[NearNothing]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Where have "they" never been? And what is wrong about trying to make sense of Jesus?

[xolilsx]

We're just mere humans, can you make sense of God, the universe? Which came first the chicken or the egg? You dont have these answers do you....no one does, God is supreme and thank him for sending his son who is actually Gods spirit to forgive our sins instead of killing animals like the Jews didi which of course the Jews cant do anymore because the type of animal they seek dont exist, Heil Jesus

[NearNothing]

yea, that makes perfect sense. no.

[leftalone123]

Which came first the chicken or the egg? You dont have these answers do you....no one does..

the answer: the chicken came first...the egg cannot incubate itself in order to develop. creationism points to the prior existence of creation A that had no need for the creation B

[tudungsenduk]

"Which came first the chicken or the egg?"

the answer: The cock came first.

[leftalone123]

imagine if you put the two: the chicken and the egg to exist together in the beginning, then the egg will never become a chicken if is not incubated by the latter.

hammer your mind with these words: there is no vice-versa situation in that FIRST EXISTENCE...

[UponClarity]

Denial

[trac4yt]

God has inspired AND perfectly and providentially preserved HIS Word via HIS promises.

The Bible is always THE sacred and final authority on the Person, Life, and Work of Jesus Christ.

ALL other writings about Jesus Christ are non-authoritative.

Original autographs are never needed.

We have God's Word in the Bible.

Receive Him.

A full pardon is available.

[vrlobo88]

what you say vs. what he says and offers evidence for.....un tko (he's the winner).

he is not saying that all of the Bible is bs....he's simply explaining that it is often misinterpreted and misrepresented (which it is)....

it is full of a bs too though, but if you can look past that, it's full of good life lessons

[trac4yt]

The Bible is always infallible.

It cannot be otherwise.

[NearNothing]

I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but it isn't. You should read his book, Misquoting Jesus, you can probably find it at the library. Or if you just want to skip to the contradictions, try watch?v=qNcgh15Aa24

[adely22]

Christianity is a lost and fabricated religion

And lets not forget extremely contradicting. I cant believe people would fallow such a religion that leaves so many questions unanswered. If you are really looking for the truth...i suggest out of all kindness to look at Islam. Its not what the media wants you to believe. Thousands of Americans convert each year, most of them christians. I myself am was a lost christian before i began my independent search for truth...and thats when i found Islam.

[magammet]

am muslim but I respect christianity to and I beilive in Jesus (Issa).

Please Watch All the 10 Parts of the above Video.

[harmwon]

Hey brother may god bless you, i will pray for you.

[harmwon]

thats why i say look around you my friend there isn't one of my true Christan friends who would wish death upon a fellow human being, but all every single Muslim friend i have hate and wish death not only to a person of other religion but even their own Muslim brothers just because they are Shia, I have experienced this not only in my own country but where i am living right now. I can clearly see the hate in their hearts and i am sure you can as well.

[PATRIOTPUSH]

harm you Christians are the most pathetic hypocrite on earth . You have no moral high-ground whatsoever and have no right to judge Muslims for being human . Every human-being has a right to defend themselves against tyrani and injustice and that is what you support . Stop slandering them , you are the worse of haters and hypocrites .

[harmwon]

hey brother may god bless you, i will pray for you.

[harmwon]

After i asked Jesus to be my savior there is no hate in my heart no anger, nothing but love for the fellow human being. if you think if Satan brainwashed me shouldn't there be hate and anger within me?

[harmwon]

I believe in the bible 100% and no man can convince me that it is wrong, like i was saying before Islam cannot give you true peace it is an Illusion from Satan. If you want to know the facts open your eyes and just look around you and see how he has destroyed the people who believe in Islam, there is hate in every Muslim there is war and blood shed everywhere there is Islam, even where i grew up.

[tudungsenduk]

Losing your grip ehhhh?

[harmwon]

at the end of the day it is just a ritual, Christianity is not about ritual it is a relationship with god, i used to have quite time with god which was reading the bible and pray every morning and evening and after my mind was peaceful and i could feel that i was growing in spirituality. actually having this discussion i can remember how peaceful and happy i used to be when i was under god.

[harmwon]

do you really think i will take a mans word aganist the word of god My friend i am not very knowledgeable in the Bible i have actually taken a back step from god but i can tell you from past experience that when i called out to Jesus in my troubles god always answered my prayers he has always looked after me and i cannot wait to get back in fellowship with our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

[harmwon]

seems like Satan has really brainwashed you, there is nothing you can say or do to convince me i believe the only way to save ourselves is to be born again, You know i grew up with Muslims read the quran and even been to the mosque but could never find peace and joy there will always be something missing if you want to experience the true love of our god and be saved from hell Christianity is the only way.

[harmwon]

When God made Satan he made him with preacious stones like diamonds, ruby's etc, what do these stones do? they reflect light, so Satan was created to reflect the light of god upon angels he stared to like the power and turned aganist god, so think about it angel of light? Ten commandments were given to moses by god him self so why the most preacious book in the world was delivered by a so called angel to Mohammad, why didn't god give him the book?

[apatheticbuddha]

This was a great series. Unfortunately it was posted by a Muslim who somehow thinks it validates his religion. The Bible and Koran both make great toilet paper.

[harmwon]

Dont belive everything you hear my friend, It is very easy to manipulate things, Who wrote the bible doco brought in millions of dollars people kill for $10 you think they wont change and manilupate things for a million.

[hich101]

christianity is in vain-u been duped for centuries ,face it

[harmwon]

This guys full of shit wants to make money they were dead sea scrolls found and carbon dated BC if you open up your bible now and read from both texts it is matched word by word, hasn't changed in 2000+ years, research it!!

[hich101]

seems like the foundation has been pulled from under your feet,i feel tension in the air,i know the truth hurts, its ok, u just need to read the last n final revelation, the glorious qu'ran, and u will be fine after that

[harmwon]

Your mistaken brother my faith will never be broken.remember who gave Mohammad the qu'ran it was a angel of light now remember who tempted eve in the garden of eden "angel of light". I will pray for you.

[hich101]

mistaken?go read genesis n see so many scientific errors 4urself plz..enjoy ur book of astrology,which it what it really is.

[harmwon]

If you say Scientific error then the quran is wrong as well becuase science belive is that there is no god that we came from a mokey, so dont base your agruments after watching the Ziegest movie which was 100% false and posion for the conscious.

[hich101]

ur belief is sumtin u have,but 4 sure ur belief is ilogical

[harmwon]

and you think quran is logical? "a book of laws was given to a man by a so called angel and that book came from god", do you see any logic in that? being a christan is having a relationship with god where he speaks to through your conscious,unlike sitting up and down 5 times a day and saying prayers in arabic which most muslims dont understand.

[tawba76]

bible is man made-i believe in the gospel of jesus,but no1 has it.jesus never wrote a word down,so u will neva hav it,he spoke the gospels.

[redking15ca]

Go ask Paul Washer all of your questions...

[dkrto]

The basic assumption is wrong that the word of God is literally inspired. It misses the point of human action in creating the text and does not answer how can there be so much continuity between the Old testament and New testament without someone to guide it. This is what you get when you focus on the literal critique without understanding the social and contextual issues. The bible is not literally inspired, but the message is.
