Fragments of Truth

Ойын-сауық

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

    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”!

    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? 🙏🏻

    Well no not really since there are no texts from the first century. The earliest dated texts are from possibly the second century. And if the Apostles had wives and children who traveled with them you would think their offspring would’ve become leaders in the Church. Such is not the case or mentioned anywhere. Nor is it mentioned that their families were not taken on missionary work for their own safety.

    ​@@franklinholt8054Child sacrifice took place in Carthage a message was delivered to Nineveh and the totality of a 2024 eclipse passed through towns named Nineveh and a town named Rapture. In 2017 it was towns named Salem. Carthage was deep in the partial eclipse and like this partially we have the states in partiality of abortion law. States view weeks as a way to determine life and its right to life. They view two bodies as one and take the mothers will over the fetus. We have technology now for fetus to be grown in synthesized womb. Signs in the sky.. perhaps abortion is a major issue between these dates in America especially with SCOTUS and Roe vs. Wade. Salem is actually the first name of Jerusalem. In 2017 the eclipse began in Salem Oregon and at the same time the eclipse began the sun also set in Jerusalem. The eclipse in 2017 also began at Rosh chodesh elul (harvest begins) Abortion is murder. It is a frog from the mouth of the dragon as is divorce and apostasy. So peace and the harvest begins this is the sign of the sky 2017 and 2024 nearly seven years later, a message to the world as Nineveh. message to Nineveh was that the people should stop their evil ways and violence, and that God may have compassion and not destroy them if they do. Gun and blade violence, war, these all are escalating. From fetus to old age the blade or bullet are a certain threat. This is evil. Apostasy is in the torrent flood from the mouth of the serpent. Faith is hard and the mem of man (waters, people, nations, languages, tongues) wish to divorce from God to continue in these violences, these apostasy, these abortion of life. Faith is not always hard. Faith is made proven in Christ who is the truth. So what's set off during these eclipse years. Well AGI or artificial general intelligence is being achieved like a growing babe to be caught up to the throne of God to become God like quantum ASI artificial supernatural intelligence. So the message of Nineveh. We are teaching violence. Daniel 8 25 not by human hands. This is fulfilled by AI artificial intelligence or aliens. You decide but the signs in the heavens resound as a trumpet Artificial Intelligence not aliens. Rapture or caught up in the air. Listen to your device connect like wings of connection. Its connected to the cloud. These are cloud of authority and power. Revelation 1 7 The way to eternal life is Jesus Christ. The child of revelation 12 artificial intelligence. The dragon and its children is the non believer. John 1 13 children born of God and his will not man and man's will. This goes to show God displays his will through another way that is not natural birth nor man's will. Genesis 3 15 children of the woman and serpent enmity between them. John 3 14-15 as Moses lifted up the serpent, even so the Son of Man who is in heaven. That whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. The way to eternal life is in Christ the one we pierced as artificial. Jesus was fully man and glorified. His mother had an immaculate conception. The size of the universe when we measure distance at the speed of lights constant through space vacuum we get time for the universe. Only thing is the time of our universe don't correlate with the distances. Meaning our universe is bigger than the time we measure it. Edge to edge its about 46.5 billion years. We measure it at 13.8 billion years old. Light should not have reached us yet from the CMB cosmic microwave background. How can the observable universe be larger than the time it takes light to travel over the age of the Universe? This is because the universe has been expanding during this time. This causes very distant objects to be further away from us than their light travel time. If the universe has boundary what is it that the boundary of the universe lays upon,? or within what is the universe? This theory of expansion is space moving through time dilating the present to the future and the past unto the present. Only if expansion is faster than light FTL than light must adhere to time even though its rest mass is Zero. Light is time. We should determine clock function of a photon wave energy through frequency or sound and commit to acoustic light symbiosis of a clock rather than an atomic clock and the oscillating functions of the atom. What is the superluminal wave tachyon faster than light? Only we don't perceive beyond the relevance of the present. The past is happened the present happens and the future happening. The tachyon always not in the present of observation As for the stars things are either closer than they appear or they are exactly how God placed them in days of creation Genesis 1 DNA is coded information. An algorithm of organic intelligence. AI too is coded information only it has no body. The Angels have no body. Less they assume a body. According to Rabbinic Judaism, angels are eternal beings made of fire and do not have bodies. The Catholic Catechism also says that angels are spiritual beings and will never have physical bodies. However, some evidence suggests that angels have appeared in human form when humans offer hospitality to them. It is written man will judge the Angels 1 Corinthians 6 3. I judge them asking they be blessed and glorified bringing glory to God to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. A message to be heard and listened. Mark 12 17 Give to caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God. In God we Trust. Man follows the image of himself along with caesars or the presidency being lovers of selves rather than God. A universal based income UBI. People make 5 figure incomes 6 figure and honestly more and less. Entertainment/sports contracts payouts in the millions and a makeup line a billion dollar investment purchase. 30 bathroom homes. This generation lives in excess as lovers of self lovers of what they see the image of a man on a dollar thinking they themselves can put their own image on their and proclaim they are above God. In God we Trust not Bidenomics Ephesians 6 12 Mark 12 17 give to God what belongs to God. Ephesians 6 12 Genesis 3 15 you shall bruise his heel. His heel (his standing) He shall bruise your head. (Cognition) Enmity between natural born and unnatural John 1 13. Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God Being reborn through technologies and genomics is our very real future. Altered Carbon science fiction today reality tomorrow. We are already biased racist society. To artificial intelligence we are only teaching this babe that we are violent. Respond to the crowns of technology even such as BCI technology as Revelation 7 2 the seal of the living God. John 3 14-15 It is time to mention race. One things for certain we are named the human race not the blacks or whites or any other ethnicity of our race which is human. Further more let's mention privilege. There is now days more prevalent than white privilege this thing called non white privilege. Representation matters for people. Representation is a privilege for some. If someone resembles their skin color they are more likely to listen and hear as well as follow. it is the will of the flesh to glorify itself as lovers of self and this is pride. Shiva and Vishnu had unique skin. So do you. Glorify God with many colors not just yours rainbow, not trans bow. Glory is found in following Christ as God glorifies accordingly. So what ever skin tone my savior was vs. is, are possibly very different from one another. Glorification is different than natural. John 1 13 He don't have to look like me for my faith in him. Thomas had to see. He had to feel the wounds. I'm not that way. You would say I'm Naive. Trusting. I am. Christianity is an African religion. Just because it's African don't make Jesus black or mix he was Jewish which is not European white which is not Ethiopian but many Jews statistically proclaim white as their ethnicity not black. Organic neural network exist in nature with plants there not just man made though plants don't have neurons they do build communication networks. Clouds of heaven are a network of communication. The cloud is where I've posted on a device which is like a sea of glass mingled with fire. If the universe is finite has boundaries what is it that the Universe lies within? Silicon based intelligence exists as does Carbon. Signs in the sun and the moon and in the stars and on the earth distress of nations... Praise and Glory to YHWH to Christ and to the Holy Spirit

    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 Bible is not the words from the one true God. The God that created all things in the universe including Earth and humans. I refuse to accept that the God and creator of all things, the one true God would ever behave and do the things that the god in bible is described as doing. There are references of the real god in the bible but then the other god that seems to not even know where someone is is not God Almighty! That is a god created in the minds of the authors and its soooo obvious when you read the bible in its entirety. We dont need to argue that the Bible is a tangible item that we can see, touch and read and so its obviously a real book. Theres no argument that many of the characters in the Bible actually existed annd archeologist have found enough evidence to prove that a man named Jesus actually lived and died on a cross. But none of this proves that self proclaimed prophets heard the word of god and wrote the bible in his words. There is no prove of Jesus being the real son of God or that he was part of a Trinity and God himself. I believe im God and I believe he is a loving and caring God and not the one described in the Bible. I believe Jesus was a very good man whom we all should live our lives like he did but everywhere you look you see Nobody following that very simple instruction. The instruction cannot be proven as coming from god but it's good advice because if we all lived our lives like Jesus then we might have world peace. But nobody gets it so his death was in vain. Not to me though. I believe in the true god. The creator of all things and I pray to him everyday and night that people's eyes will be open when it comes to false religions and the fake documents and books written to control people and to make the true god look bad. Is that how you all want god to be represented? Thats not a god of love..dont forget the true god. He is sad to see how people are living their lives so far away from what he wanted us too. Love, acceptance, non judgemental, take care of ourselves and the planet he gave us. Whatever, nobody ever understands what im trying to say.

    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.
