good video, however I have two issues.

Bible we see today especially translations into contemporary languages and catholic latin bible have some editorial changes. Look at Matthew 19,12. 1 Corr 9,5, exodus 21,7-11, proverbs 5,18 as examples.

second issue. there are some epistles (letter) excluded in IV/V cent. from canon (barnaba's) even though they were present and accepted by ante nicea bishops and "fathers".

greetings

Thorsupremecommander, as a self professed christian with pentacostal leanings, do you have an answer that addresses the text of your post, or is the post simply meant to challenge the video I have posted for some other reason?

The video does clear up some misconceptions HOWEVER the more important bit is the fact that early church fathers ended up "picking out" their favorite writings which had been circulating for decades..presumably the ones that really hit home with their specific followers. Some got tossed and the more "popular" ones got selected and assembled earlier than many believe. The only problem is that these stories were copied from stories of eyewitness accounts...and in the case of Paul, his imagination.

The apostles were illiterate, except for Peter and Paul. Peter never met the rabbi Yeshua so he wrote in old Greek from hearsay. If Yeshua was so famous, how come there's not one painting (real), or a coin, or a statute, or something?

Unreal, it's the 21st century (according to that cesspool called the Vatican) and the ignorant masses still believe in that fabrication called Christianity, of course the Catholics are the militants. This video is a joke, in 6 min. that guy explained the first 325 yrs. of lies. Dan Brown has nothing to do with this mess. The info. about the lies and fabrications have been available for over 1,325 years. That fabrication has proven to be very profitable.

@Oallos1

I didn't challenge your video per se. I've only supplemented it with some information. I do have answers for topics about editorial changes.

@Thorsupremecommander There are several books excluded from the canon. they are called the apocrypha. none of these claim to be inspired and that is why they are excluded from our bible today (although the catholic bible does contain these and historically accurate books).

[corkystorky]

the earliest Christians, who were filled with the Spirit, can discern with their spirit if the writing agrees with the gospel of God. Only people who value antiques value them as authentic, and with that attitude they believe the gospel of Thomas (which actually is a hoax btw).  Even until now, if anyone does obey the will of God, they can tell whether a writing is inspired by God or not.

I disagree with this video, the turth is that the Bible should not be disregarded or be irrelevant but one has to be careful because as Jeremiah 8:8 says, it has been tampered with. Also there are missing scriptures from the Bible which are mentioned in it like Enoch (mentioned in Jude) , Jasher, iddo, and others mentioned in the old testament. learn the truth, see the links to my forum in my channel.

Good Job. Anyone who doubts the the Holy Bible is what God wants to be shared throughout the world, before He returns, underestimates God! Seriously!! If one doubts the New Testament then they must doubt the Old Testament. They are like those of ancient times who doubted the messengers of God, which wrote the Old Testament. God Bless You
