Dr. Daniel Wallace is Senior Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts.

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.” John 21:25 NASB
Watched the Video without falling asleep... Loved the Lecture... The problems that arise in understanding are Not due to the variants in the writings but rather the human attitude, and personal interpretation of the writings, due to the Presence of DOUBLE LOGIC in the human GENOME, adversely affecting both 'THOUGHT' and 'REASON'.
for any one that interested to know what happened with the Greek translation that led people astray....Since Arabic,Hebrew and Aramaic are sister languages we share some words that have the same sounds and meanings. Now the Aramaic and Arabic are very close witch was the language that Jesus Christ spoke...he was using the word (Rabbo) for God or Master..but this word have so many meanings among them ( God, King, the man of the house ( father), Lord (Arabic: رب, rabb ), is often used to refer to God in Islam (Allah). In the Quran God refers to Himself as Rabb in several places. When it is used with the definite article 'Ar' (Ar-Rabb) the Arabic word refers to God. In other cases, context makes it clear as to whom the word is referring to. For example, Rabb Ad-Dar means the master of the house. Rabb is also a common and acceptable first and/or last name throughout the world.The literal meaning of the word is Sustainer, Cherisher, Master and/or "Nourisher", and in that sense, a man is the "rabb" of his house. With the same root is the verb yurabbi, meaning "raise" (as in raise a child). Rabb also means "the Creator", God of the world as it is referred to in the Quran several times as "رب العالمين". However, Rabb covers such a wide meaning that other languages lack an equivalent of the word. Anyway the Greek choose to translate this word to mean father only which coincide with what they used believe at that time....and I really believe that's why Jesus was sent to the children of Israel only...they will understand his teaching not the Gentiles.The word "Rabbi" is derived from it too meaning Godly person or great one and master,superior and teacher.I hope you read my comments and try to understand....thanks The word "rabbi" is derived from the Hebrew word רב rav [ˈʁav],which literally means "great one" or "master". The form of the title in English and many other languages derives from the possessive form in Hebrew of rav: רַבִּי rabbi [ˈʁabi], meaning "my master",[6] which is how a student would address a superior.
Beware! of the "Leaven of the Pharisees"...if either Love or Goodness existed in any of the "Powers-that-Be"(Archons)...Wickedness never would have come into this world..but that is not the case...¶...Become earnest about the Word(Christ) For as to the Word, its first part is FAITH; the second Love; the 3rd Works; for from these comes Life. For the Word is like a grain of wheat; when someone had sown it, he had Faith in it; and when it sprouted, he Loved it, because he had seen many grains in place of one. And when he Worked, he was "saved", because he had prepared it for food, and again he left some to sow. So also yourselves receive the Kingdom of Heaven; unless you receive this through Gnosis, you will not be able to find it" ... the Pharisees will not be of any help
The LORD in His wisdom fulfilled the law with two commands of Love.Love the LORD your God.....Love your neighbor...Love does no wrong, what a great wise God we serve a God of love. His steadfast love endures forever.Whomsoever should believe in His only begotten Son shall never perish!!! This is love 😀🍾
@dstarkspp The wisdom to know God is love. With the word He represents He fulfilled and established the new way. To walk with His Spirit which is walking in love. All praise to the LORD GOD Almighty the Father God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The Father God who sent His only begotten Son the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and showed us great sacrificial love.May the Lord Jesus Christ open the eyes of your heart and reveal the great love He has for you amen x
@Michael Harmon This is very true Michael when I discern through the guidance of the Holy Spirit that I am being spiritually attacked. I then become as wise as a serpent but as gentle as a dove and hold fast to the LORDS truth. The swine did not turn and trample, the battle was won. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you brother 😇
What about the baby massacre in the OT?What about all the massacre of innocent infants, suckings and everything that breathes in the OT?Babies worshipping idols ?? You come to teach us Morality??Fuckyour YahwehI spit on Yahweh and if I can I would step with a dirty shoe on his filthy name.Sadly he's not real
In short youre just putting your whole faith on anonymous bible authors that were corrupted since day 1 and still going on.yeah pretty sure all the things you said are the truth.preach lil boi!
Absolutely wonderful presentation. You noted your audience was engaged through the entire talk...it is 3:45 am, and I am finally ready to sleep. Your thorough and organized material really helped to make sense of the vast quantity of data and the 2000 years of human translation of the New Testament. It is just what is needed to give a clear and convincing answer to Bart Ehrman's theories. Thanks for sharing the years of your study to the wider Internet audience!!!!
