The Bible is a Reliable Source: New Testament Contains Errors? - Pt 2

The New Testament is 99.5-99.9 percent accurate! No other ancient book is so well authenticated.

In my last video I mentioned that we've discovered nearly 25,000 (24,970) manuscripts in 15 different languages of the New Testament. Scholars use these thousands of manuscripts to help recontruct the New Testament back to its original form rather easily. Of course the more manuscripts we have, the easier it is to reconstruct back to its original form. It also allows an extremely accurate reconstruction even if errors were made during the copying.

The vast majority of the "errors" are grammatical, and this most definitely does not change the message of the passage.

Philip Schaff calcuates that:
"...of the 150,000 variants known in his day, only 400 changed the meaning of the passage, only 50 were of real significance, and not even one affected 'an article of faith of a precept of duty which is not abundantly sustained by other and undoubted passages, or by the whole tenor of Scripture teaching.'"

Bruce Metzger--a New Testament scholar and Princeton professor--estimates that the Mahabarata of Hinduism is copied with only 90% accuracy, and Homer's Iliad with about 95% accuracy. By comparision he estimated that the New Testament is about 99.5% accurate. The 0.5 does not affect a single doctrine of the Christian faith.

Fredric Kenyon states:
"It cannot be too strongly asserted that in substance the text of the Bible is certain: Especially is this the case with the New Testament. The number of manuscripts of the New Testament, of early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the Church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or other of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world."

God bless you all!
Jesus Christ is Lord! :)

so if you died due to lack of any cures.... if the bible is 99.5- 99.9% correct then viruses are not real. you should stop taking shots and let yourself die. sorry but if your saying the bible is 99% true your saying the very sciences that keep your sorry ass alive are not. bullet proof vest work better then prayer. =)

to bad, idk why but from some reasion most pretty girls are completely incompetent when it comes to understanding. id like to say what, but just about anything honestly.

Jesus said that terrorism was the shit and that going to work was for losers.

[caralhoman]

Jesus said that deseases are caused by deamons. No mention to viruses, or bacterias, funguses, deficiency of organs... just deamons. That is 1 error. ONE. This one and only error in the New Testament is enought to discard the idea of a divine Jesus, a Jesus-who-is-God, regardless the scripture's authenticity.

The New Testament also states that the follower of Jesus does not die by drinking poison. It would be a waste of a handesomely beautiful daughter of Asia would she try to proof it true.
