One of my big passion projects the last four or five years has been pulling together my reasons for thinking that Matthew was written in Hebrew. I post my progress on my blog. Every time I do, I have friends that remind me that the best use of my work is as a cure for insomnia.
Yes but there are over 500,000 errors and 1% means there are 5,000 meaningful errors, several that are basic to the Christian faith. and most Textual Criticism scholars will tell you the Trinity was added in the fourth century, not to mention all the names and titles the publishers changed when translating into Greek, Latin, and English. And if you don't know that in ancient Hebrew the names tell of the persons character. and add much dimension to the text.. not only the names of people but also the names of places, tribes, mountains, stc.etc. Also, this is just the New Testament there are several problems in the Aramaic and Hebrew Old Testament manuscripts as well.. So the conclusion is essential Christian beliefs are in jeopardy.. unless you don't think Jesus, I mean, YAHUSHUA NOT being God, or even born of a virgin are important doctrines of the faith? Read John chapter 1:18, in the NIV where they footnote what the earlier manuscripts (revised) show that the scribes added: "Jesus is God" in the later manuscripts. Jesus is NOT God. He taught us the Word of YHUH and he is the first born of the Kings of YHUH's kingdom. Also, you have to wonder about Dr Wallace integrity when Bart Ehrman has repeatedly said he changed his mind after he wrote that book, 19 years ago, and he very much believes the tenants of the Christian faith are not intact. Not only has Dr Ehrman left the Christian faith but there are several other Textual Criticism scholars that have done the same, They are all over You Tube telling why they don't believe Christianity any more. These Scholars devoted their whole lives researching and studying the ancient manuscripts, and were passionate Christians when they began their studies, most of which hold at least a PHD or higher level in the field they research. .. So we can bury our heads in the sand or we can take the research of the Experts (not their conclusions) and work to reconstruct the truth that YHUH intended... You decide. BTW I was a devout Christian for 22 years before I spent an additional 20 years doing deep research on the Bible and how it has come about.. and I agree with the Textual Scholars research, and I will tell you straight up, Christians have been lied to about the inerrancy of the Bibles we read today, and when you do the research you can see THE PATTERN of DECEPTION that lets you know, without a doubt it has not only been done on purpose, but the changes reveal what the truth is, and that is. Christians are worshiping a different God than what was originally expressed in the books of the bible. and that is that YaHUaH is the Almighty "ONE" and there is NO OTHER besides HIM. and YaHUsHua is a perfect example of what we are ALL meant to be, the Sons of YHUH the Priests and Kings of the earth. This is the great deception everyone is looking for, and it began several thousand years ago. I know you're intentions are well meaning but you are in huge deception, and I don't say this with a hateful heart, I say this in the most loving way possible, as I wish I would have been told the truth rather than be fed a pack of lies that has a profound effect on yours and my eternal life. DO THE RESEARCH and quit believing the LAZY DOG PASTORS.(Isaiah 56:10-12) read Jeremiah 10, 7-10, and16, and all of Jeremiah and Isaiah with this understanding that I have just tried to convey. Yes, we read and KNOW our bibles but what we don't know is it has been manipulated by the Scribes, Publishers, and Translators, and we really don't have but a clue as to the real truth. I don't claim to know all truth but I do KNOW we have been deceived beyond our imagination. Jeremiah 8:8-9 May the TRUE ALMIGHTY ONE YaHUaH be with you..
With regards to 'research laziness' can you please expand on your (very sloppy delivered) cardinal comment (quote) "Read John chapter 1:18, in the NIV where they footnote what the Dead Sea Scrolls show is that they added that Jesus is God in the later manuscripts. Jesus is NOT God." - What Dead Sea Scroll document are you referring to? What does it say and how does this suggest Jesus is NOT God. (NB - Given that Jesus is NOT mentioned anywhere in the Dead Sea Scrolls I am very curious as to your reference).
@@adminleadcentric4310 You are correct, I made a mistake. I meant to say the earliest Greek and Latin manuscripts that have been found since the King James bible was published. Manuscripts that all the Textual Criticism scholar's analyze and use a scientific process of reconstruction. There are over 5,000 ancient NT manuscripts ( or pieces of manuscripts) and the earliest show that the Trinity was not originally there, and has been added approximately in the 4th century CE , just as the NIV bible footnotes show. I apologize for my sloppiness as Im not a professional writer and I got excited when I heard this video commentator trying to tell us to pay no mind to these claims. I first became aware of this over 10 years ago by reading the NIV footnotes and then after listening to the TC Scholars it just validated to me that those NIV footnotes were correct. I keep a playlist of many of the video's that discuss what the Pastors and Apologist won't ever tell you. I hope this clarifies.
@@scottfabian777 But this is not at all true friend. Look at P66 Codex that is 100-200 AD of John's gospel which includes all the trinity references. In short, google "what is the Trinity in the gospel of st john?" then read it. The P66 codex has all of these references in manuscript that significantly predates your 4th century era of 'corruption'.
@@scottfabian777 In short, google 'where is the trinity in gospel of John'; then google the P66 codex - which is a John gospel from 100-200 AD. Predates your era of corruption by hundreds of years.
@@adminleadcentric4310 Ok, I'm not the expert, however, many of the Textual Criticism Scholars date P66 to be written in the 4th century as the literary and writing style indicates a later date. All I can say, is you may want to dig deeper and not hold so firm in your traditions (Jeremiah 10, 7-10, and 16, Isaiah 56) and seek the truth where ever that may lead you. I can understand and appreciate your position, because just 5 years ago I would have been saying the same things as you. The FIRST lie we were brainwashed to think is that the Bibles we read are the perfect inherent WORD., However, I do believe we can get close to the truth if we honestly accept these FACT's and open our minds and do study a new.. so here is something that really effected how I read the scriptures, and I will leave you with this Matthew 15:24, and James 1:1 say: Yahushua came to save ONLY the lost sheep of ISRAEL, so let the reader understand. WE ARE THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL, all those who obey YHUH's laws, and honor HIM ONLY and our bodies are His temple where his Spirit dwells within us, and the sacrifice and suffering we experience following His laws is the ONLY acceptable sacrifice pleasing to YHUH. YAH hates the sacrificing of animals and humans as the pagans offer to their pagan gods.. Yahushua brought forth a new covenant so that the Gentiles would share in the inheritance as the Jews were given, because they were disobedient, so this is the good news, however, YHUH's law still remains and we are to continue to obey the law, written by the hand of YHUH and given to Mosses, (10 words) and over time the Jews added laws and Yahushua told us it is all summed up with ‘Love YHUH your Almighty One with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a Exodus19:18] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself." but also the first commandment is to Keep the name of the Father Sacred, and have no other besides HIM.(John 17 NIV footnotes) and to the Jew also, and to the gentiles, BOTH have the same promise NOW, but only to those who obey, trust YAH (H3050, H3068,H3069) the Word is the Spoken Word of the Spirit of YAH within you, and have FAITH in HIS promise of eternal life, and to have faith in HIS (YHUH's) promise to forgive us our sins. We are a chosen, and ROYAL priesthood, soon to be realized. I keep a playlist of video's that each one brings a piece of the truth to the table. So when you read scripture understand who ISRAEL is. I believe James and Paul were bitter enemies as the brother of Yahushua (G2424, H3091) was a Torah observing Jew and Paul's message was in opposition..(read the book of James) James was with Yahushua personally and was handed down the ministry as Paul only had a vision. I'm not saying that all of Paul's letters are a deceptive teaching, but I am saying that they were, at least, manipulated to the point of conveying a false gospel, and we know this by reading the Prophets of the Old Testament, as "The Lord" replaced YHUH (pronounced YaHUaH) and no other name do we give praise and honor, and Ba'al (H1166, H1167,H1168, H1169, G896) means lord in Hebrew. Remember the Prophets of Ba'al have no power. Have a great day, and may YHUH's grace and mercy be upon you.

What about Gehenna vs hell vs hades? That seems like a critically meaningful difference, no?
I feel there is a stronger human connection linking pagaen faith than the bible
Ive studied both
The new testament is so hard to make sense
Jesus is real the book is a huge nightmare to follow

The FIRST lie we were brainwashed to think is that the Bibles we read are the perfect inherent WORD., However, I do believe we can get close to the truth if we honestly accept these FACT's and open our minds and do study a new..
so here is something that really effected how I read the scriptures, and I will leave you with this
Matthew 15:24, and James 1:1 say: Yahushua came to save ONLY the lost sheep of ISRAEL, so let the reader understand.
WE ARE THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL, all those who obey YHUH's laws, and honor HIM ONLY and our bodies are His temple where his Spirit dwells within us, and the sacrifice and suffering we experience following His laws is the ONLY acceptable sacrifice pleasing to YHUH. YAH hates the sacrificing of animals and humans as the pagans offer to their pagan gods..

38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself."
but also the first commandment is to Keep the name of the Father Sacred, and have no other besides HIM.(John 17 NIV footnotes) and to the Jew also, and to the gentiles, BOTH have the same promise NOW, but only to those who obey, trust YAH (H3050, H3068,H3069) the Word is the Spoken Word of the Spirit of YAH within you, and have FAITH in HIS promise of eternal life, and to have faith in HIS (YHUH's) promise to forgive us our sins. We are a chosen, and ROYAL priesthood, soon to be realized.
I keep a playlist of video's that each one brings a piece of the truth to the table.
So when you read scripture understand who ISRAEL is.
I believe James and Paul were bitter enemies as the brother of Yahushua (G2424, H3091) was a Torah observing Jew and Paul's message was in opposition..(read the book of James) James was with Yahushua personally and was handed down the ministry as Paul only had a vision.

Remember the Prophets of Ba'al have no power.
Have a great day, and may YHUH's grace and mercy be upon you.
