However, manuscripts are only one form of evidence. Don't forget that our oldest manuscripts are dated to the second century. In the case of John that's a single credit-card sized fragment called P52 (which I believe includes a section of the story of the woman caught in adultery -- which we know is a later insertion). Our oldest complete manuscripts are dated to the third or even the fourth centuries. In the decades and centuries that passed between the gospels and epistles being written and the earliest copies we have of them, they could have been changed many times. I believe they were. Scholars use various forms of textual criticism to consider such potential changes. I am personally convinced that John 21 is a later addition and am happy to share some of the arguments with you if you like. I also believe that John 15-17 is an insertion.

It’s because it’s dealing with God. It holds so much more weight then a human in antiquity.

This is not intended as an attack on you and I have no ill will toward you. 1st John 5:7 is quoted in many places other than manuscripts( and it is in old non-Greek manuscripts) starting for certain in the 4th century and perhaps as early as the year 200. Cyprian of Carthage, Athanasius, Priscillian (in the Liber Apologeticus), and Jerome quoted it before the year 400AD and it is found in Apostolos the Greek lectionary from the 5th century. It was also quoted at the council of Carthage in 485AD by Eugenius. This type of thing is true of both of the other "big three" My last comment is that we didn't find evidence these supposedly didn't belong until the last 100-200 years which would mean God allowed His word to be changed for 1800ish years before *we* corrected the mistake. Your channel has been a blessing to me and I thank you for all your hard work but in this I believe the scholars, and you by extension are wrong.

Superb Presentation of the reality of the Holy Bible, the Inspired Word of God. Thank you in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Thank you for the video series. As you said, Some manuscripts do not include 7:53-8:11; you eluded to but for those taking notes here is a little more specifics, others add the passage here or after 7:36 or after 21:25 or after Luke 21:38, with variations in the text

I have 4 different versions so I can cross reference just because of this. Old English still throws me off sometimes so it makes sense.

Great to hear a factual account against those that say there i a half a million variances. Thank you

As to the variation at I John 5:7, there is very early evidence of its existence in the original Greek text given its apparent quotation by Cyprian in the early 200's A.D., where he writes, ""Again, it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 'And these three are one.'"

I think it is important to consider that there was an Arian controversy for a century or more and it may have found its way of support among those in the Greek speaking world. Is it not possible that could have factored in why the CJ was not included ? I am just asking. Also, what do we make of all the quotes of the CJ by early church fathers ? It seems to me that it flows naturally, grammatically and especially spiritually. I would say if it is not included in any Greek manuscript before the 10th century than fine, do not include it. However if there is a question concerning wether that verse was quoted in writing as early as the second century and there is no definitive way of knowing for sure, than it isnt necessary to be so dogmatic either way.

Thank you brother. I know as an unbeliever I quoted some of this stuff, corruption of text etc After meeting our Saviour and reading His precious word I was blown away by the truth and Jesus is truth and He set me free. Of course after awhile I fell for the council of Nicea rubbish that's getting around and a dear friend has too, still is unfortunately. But after studying scripture and seeking God in prayer, (for once I knew the truth I didn't want to be deceived), for me it simply came down to faith in God. That His timeless Sovereignty and His power would never allow His scriptures or His beloved Sons name to ever be corrupted, it was easy to accept. I love learning more and more about Him and just how everything in the Bible, in history, everything is in His Wonderful hands. So exciting. For me to say "Well I just believe" is good enough for me but doesn't help me defend the faith adequately. So thank you very much for your time and research it has blessed me 😁🌈🙌❤️

I love it! Thank you for this. I would like for you to have included Acts 8:37. This one, if genuine, testifys against infant baptism; so I would think it worthy of inclusion. That also might explain why so many manuscripts exclude it: so it would not be there to use to argue against that widely accepted practice.

Great job Mike. I watched this with my teenage son who thoroughly enjoyed your research and well organized presentation. I have looked into this issue years ago myself and remembered a piece of very significant evidence in support of both the Mark and John sections being inspired scripture. It is the work of Ivan Panin the Mathematician. He was an agnostic with no time for "the word of God". However, one day he looked at it with his Mathematical brain and was stunned to discover number patterns that were in the underlying Greek and Hebrew Canon (both Greek and Hebrew letters can be read as numbers as well). He found that scripture had the Seal of God on it, the number 7. He spent 50 years of his life after giving his Life to Christ examining this pattern in scripture and finding it everywhere. I highly recommend you google his name and look at his books. I think his evidence would have been a perfect addition to your series here. Without leaving you in suspense he found that both those sections of scripture (Mark and John) had the pattern of the surrounding chapters and had many features that were all divisible by 7. Anyone who has never heard of this should go look it up, you will be amazed. It makes sense that the Holy Spirit would leave an irrefutable mark on His work. (Chuck Missler had a few presentations that are still on KZread talking about the work of Panin).

This was very helpful thank you! There is a lot of urban myth style stuff that floats around on this kind of stuff without any dissertation as it were.

Regarding 55:05 -- Well, let's consider the position that Mark 16:9-20 is not part of the original text. Mark 16:9-20 is supported by over 99.5% of the extant Greek manuscripts of Mark; of all undamaged continuous-text Greek manuscripts of Mark 16, the text stops at the end of verse 8 in exactly two of them. That's it. So if one contends that 2 manuscripts out of 1,640 are right, and 1,638 are wrong, is it really that different to say that 1,640 out of 1,640 are wrong? Fee taught that I Cor. 14:34-35 is not original. NA28 teaches that no extant Greek reading in Second Peter 3:10 is original. They seem to be granting the skeptic's argument, at least in part.

Based on what we have I would offer this opinion. Most of the early copies were written on Codex (book form) and it is highly probable that if a part of the book were to be lost it would be the last page. You could even say the same thing with a scroll to be honest. I think it is very likely that very early in the manuscript tradition the long ending of Mark was lost completely. And the long ending we have now was most likely an attempt to replace what was lost. This mystery may never be solved but if we ever found a super early manuscript of Mark we might just find a longer ending no one has ever seen before. I think it is highly probable the original longer ending was lost. But I agree I don't think Mark ended where the earliest manuscripts indicate it ended.

Pastor Mike... I LOVE your channel and your deep dives. I'm going to watch every video! However, I think you may have gotten the history of the Pericope Adulterae wrong. You said it's not mentioned until the 10th century and doesn't show up in the Bible until the 14th. The sources I'm seeing say it's MUCH earlier. Vaticanus doesn't have it but the Latin Vulgate produced by Jerome (300s) does. It's mentioned by Didymus in the 300s, and Eusebius (300s) says that Papias (110 AD) mentioned it. Was that a mistake to say it arrived after the 10th century? This would lend much more credence to your (and Metzger's) assertion that it is historical and is an oral tradition that survived and was added to John. Thanks for all you do!

In Colossians 1:16-17 the word "other" is added 4 times to twist the Bible into teaching that Jesus is a created being. This can be seen clearly in the Watchtower's own interlinear Bible (which I have a copy of). I intend to make a video about it in a month or so. Here is a plain example of addition to the text which can not be said to be caused by rendering. There is no word in the Greek which they are rendering "other", nor is there any implication in the Greek that "other" is somehow meant or assumed. The simplest explanation is that the men who made the NWT didn't want to allow Colossians to say what it said. They simply didn't like what the Bible taught about Jesus so they added the word "other" to change it.

As all other scriptures show that Jesus was the son of God and not God himself we have to distinguish in texts so that no confusion is there: Look! Also, there was a voice+ from the heavens that said: “This is my Son,+ the beloved,+ whom I have approved.”+ matthew 3 13 Now when he had come into the parts of Caes·a·reʹa Phi·lipʹpi, Jesus went asking his disciples: “Who are men saying the Son of man is?”+ 14 They said: “Some say John the Baptist,+ others E·liʹjah,+ still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them: “YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?”+ 16 In answer Simon Peter said: “You are the Christ,+ the Son of the living God.”+ 17 In response Jesus said to him: “Happy you are, Simon son of Joʹnah,* because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did. matthew 16 .+ 5 For even though there are those who are called “gods,”+ whether in heaven+ or on earth,+ just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,”+ 6 there is actually to us one God*+ the Father,+ out of whom all things are, and we for him;+ and there is one Lord,+ Jesus Christ,+ through whom all things are,+ and we through him. 1 cor 8 so if you would agree with the father than you would agree that Jesus is not almighty God himself ; that justifies the rendering of John 1 saying that Jesus was A GOD. Now what you dont see in collosians 1: is this :He is the image+ of the invisible+ God, the firstborn+ of all creation; WHY DOES IT SAY THAT CHRIST IS THE IMAGE OF GOD AND NOT GOD HIMSELF? Colossians underlines that Jesus was Gods son (the kingdom+ of the Son of his love, verse 13) so as Jesus is not God himself and he did not create nor himself nor God , he created all OTHER things.!! Other is used to make things clear and that is not without a reason: Nevertheless, give as gifts of mercy+ the things that are inside, and, look! all [other] things are clean about YOU.* 42 But woe to YOU Pharisees, because YOU give the tenth+ of the mint and the rue and of every [other] vegetable, but YOU pass by the justice* and the love of God! These things YOU were under obligation to do, but those other things not to omit. lets see what darby says: But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside. you see what you get when you dont use OTHER ? IT should have said : these ye ought to have done, and not have left those [others] aside.

@@motherelephant5537 Within the past 2 months I came across a teaching from Messianic rabbi Zev Porat who spoke about the passage in John. It actually convinced me that the account of the adulterous woman didn't end up by accident or chance in that specific location (John 8:1-11) but that God had planned it like this all along. Why? Because the context aligns perfectly with a statement from the Old Testament: In John 7:37 Jesus declares that he is the *spring of living water:* _"Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."_ The _very next day_ (John 8:1-2) the pharisees test Jesus with the adulterous woman because they don't believe him nor his words. And what does Jesus do? He bends down and *writes on the ground.* Have you ever wondered, what Jesus wrote there into the dust? Jeremiah 17:13 reveals it: _"Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be _*_written in the dust_*_ because they have forsaken the Lord, _*_the spring of living water."_*

@Mike Winger can you please explain how we have all of these differences in manuscripts, “the big 3”, number discrepancies, and letter differences in the scripture but we also believe that the Bible is inerrant? How would we defend inerrancy when someone brings up any of these points?

The original bible (or the original autographs to be specific) are inerrant, anything other than those is technically not inerrant because the copyists are not under inspiration when they copy like the writers were when they first wrote. But still we have incredibly accurate bibles these days practically aside from nkjv and kjv

Liked this video

Wondering if you could look at Daniel 2 verse 43. When I heard the kjv I almost thought the pastor had made up the mingling with the seed of man. I'd never heard that before and it seemed kind of important a change. I'd never really noticed a difference like that in the different versions

Wow...between your series on supposed Bible contradictions and "the Bothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky audiobook my KZread hours are probably through the roof.

Thank you thank you thank you.i just want to add..as a born again believer we have supernatural help..the holy spirit..we can also search multiple translations in seconds with are phone..any problems in our carnal mind ..I believe it we seek..we are required to seek..sad that we have more access to his word than ever but we read it less..what good is the best bible if we only pick it up on Sunday morning..thanks again...please come up with a short video. .to help us share it in Sunday school..preach bro you are doing great

Thanks you so much 😇😇

Romans 8:1 doesn’t give me the hope that it gives others. I can’t get past the 2nd part of verse one about those who don’t walk according to the flesh but the spirit. My Christian walk is so hard. I may not lust after women/look at things I aught not/but I have anger in me. I’ve been praying about it for a while. Yesterday was really bad. I’m just gonna get up, dust myself off and go and follow Christ again.

22:12 again it wasn’t added it was removed.

PLEASE READ!!!! 1 john 5:7 along with other passages that only appear once in the bible ARE quoted and referenced by the ante-nicene fathers which pre date manuscripts used by new translations. 1 john 5:7 Quoted by priscillikian (liber apologeticus) Referenced by Cyprian ( treatise 1, unity of church sec.6) Terrulian ( adversus praxes c.xxv) St. Jerome ( prologue to the canonical epistles) Also Priscillikian says its in johns writing not just repeating the phrase. If i am wrong please explain but this is important.

amazing

What about the verse that talks about prayer and fasting? Don't some manuscripts not include the fasting part?

+somebodyelseathome good question. There a several verses worth mentioning that I didn't get to because of time or just what I though would better represent the overall picture. I know that Dan Wallace thinks the original did not say "and fasting." I haven't read enough on this variant to take a firm position. If I were faced with a situation like this I would pray and fast because there is only benefit to my prayer when I fast and I see potential error on the side of caution as a good choice.

It's pastor Mike himself. I love them.

Mike, my question is when a manuscript had a mistake the scribes considered the word of God so holy they didn’t destroy the copies that had the mistakes. So how do we know that some of these “differences“ that we find are not in fact scrolls that were discarded due to their mistakes?

Oh man, first time hearing about the woman caught in adultery. I always wondered what Jesus was writing. Happy to learn there are only 3 things skeptics can bring up for discussion.

You're "happy to learn there are only 3 things skeptics can bring up for discussion"?! What?! Wow, if that's your belief, then I would argue that you haven't read much biblical scholarship. There's far more to discuss than what's covered here.

John 7:53-8:11 is also the passage often used by self-justifying people to prevent Christians from accusing them of sinning. They say, "well, Jesus said 'I don't condemn you...' " without finishing the sentence "...go and sin no more." So they can't have it both ways.

There's no playlist for this. Where is part 1?

One of the ways extra words and phrases were added was due to the scribes adding side notes in the margins of the manuscripts for clarity's sake. Then, later on, newer scribes thought they were actually part of the text and added them in.

That seems out of context with the procedural rules of the scribes back then until today. Would appreciate sources to verify. Thanks! Don't want either of us subscribing to a false report.

Regarding 1 John 5:7 I remember hearing in a KZread video that the very first time those additional phrases are seen are in a Latin translation in the fourth century. And it was in a sidebar comment, not in the text itself. Then at some point in time it got mixed into the text. Then it became accepted. I think the video was a Dan Wallace video but could be wrong.

Noooo I love the go and sin no more passage! One of my favorites. This definitely hurt my feels

Please do a review of "A Blended Harmony of The Gospel," put out by The Chosen. I have a chronological Bible & I already have a problem.

Favorite tie ever🥰
