100’s of explosive topics

(and Even the authors over time do not change their opinions)

… Do you want to know how hard this is? Post one thing on facebook or twitter as absolute and see how many people have differing opinions.

Even an introductory look into the manuscript background of the New Testament gives a convincing picture of the reliability of the New Testament's transmission over a span of almost two millennia. Not only does the New Testament stand above the crowd of other ancient manuscripts in terms of manuscript amount, but the New Testament also has copies of manuscripts that are very close in time to the original composition. Virtually unchanged (99.5% accuracy rate) over the centuries, the New Testament can be deemed reliable and accurate.

 

How do we know it was copied correctly.

 

These books were written by others about them 

Pliny - 700 

Josephus - 800

Plato - 1200

Aristotle - 1400

Sophocles - 1400

Heredotus - 1500

 

The NT somewhere between 10 and a 100 years.

We have more and earlier manuscripts about Jesus Christ (the NT) than ANYONE else in the ancient world, including Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. 

 

How many manuscripts do we have from the original.
Ceasar - 10 manuscripts

Plato - 7 manuscripts

NT - over 24,000  

 

If you took all the manuscripts of the average classical writer it would be about 4 feet high.

If you took all the manuscripts of the NT it would stack over a mile high

 

*But people will still disbelieve - why? Because Jesus made some crazy claims… and if he was right, then it demands a response and action on our part… we are stuck with an eternal responsibility. 

 

 

The greatest well known atheist who wrote a book called Bart Erhman, misquoting Jesus, He said there are more variations in our manuscripts than there are words in the new testament.

*We would expect this because we have the most manuscripts. But beyond that the “errors” are non consequential.

 

Does Mark start out with “Jesus the son of God” or not”

Is it in the original text or not… who knows. But here is the point…

It is not contrary to the theme of Mark, the Gospels, the NT and the whole bible! 

 

 

**Anyone here have four kids in your family. 

How many kids in their family. 

When a golfer hits a ball into another party he yells - Fore

Were going to start from the top… count it off 1,2,3,4 

too + 2 = For

 

*This is the equivalent of saying… how can you trust that grass is green with over 1,600,000,000,000,000

ONE Qaudrillion blades…

and are they all green? NO… there are so many variables you cannot trust that grass is green… and yet a 4 year old knows grass is green.
