Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus was born by the virgin Mary who conceived by God. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Jesus raises the dead, cast out demons, and heals people. He did no violence and no deception was found in His mouth. Jesus never sinned. Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of the world. Jesus's Blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus was buried in a sepulchre. God resurrected Jesus from the dead to Life. Jesus left the tomb. Jesus was seen by Mary Magdalene and other women. Jesus was seen by Peter, the Twelve, over 500 brethren at once, James, all the apostles and by Paul. Paul persecuted the church until Jesus appeared and talked to him. Paul then became a believer. Jesus Christ is Lord. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus ascended to heaven through the clouds and sat down at the right hand of God. Jesus will return to the earth.

Great presentation, J. WARNER Wallace! I listen to everything you produce, and currently reading your books, Cold Case Christianity and God's Crime Scene! I've had these questions also regarding Bible's trustworthiness because of what Bart Erhman said. But, as I can see, these variations, although involved human copying errors, doesn't determine the whole message or change it in any way. God uses imperfect human beings all the time, even allowing for copying errors or not adding the Prostitute passahe until later. Apparently, these passages still have supernatural inspiration and power and have transformed millions of lives over history. And accurately speak on the LOVE of God that prefers mercy over sacrifice.

Thank you for saying we need to change things from within the church and out. It's so encouraging to hear another follower of Jesus state this perspective.

Brilliant! I'm working on being the best apologist i can be too.
@christopherkennedy9377 Says:
There are many variants also when comparing the works of that radical skeptical critic. Satan entered into his heart

"To speak about the number of variants without also speaking about the number of manuscripts is an irresponsible appeal to sensationalism." Daniel Wallace in debate with Bart Ehrman.
@SpryteintheAndes Says:
Love this video. Thank you! Have you done a video on why we know Jesus is God? You said so in this video. I coupd not find the direct evidence for this. I since have discovered the indirect evidence. But am curious to jear you teach on this.

Amen✝️❤️🙏

Jesus bless you
@vincentwood7036 Says:
When you compound the self-correcting nature of language, with a book that is studied by thousands of scholars, and the providence of God, it becomes impossible for an error to slip through. That leaves only one possibility for the variations: they are deliberate.

Bart Erhman : " I have this wrong idea, and I will run with it for the next 40 years."
@ExposingFalseDoctrines Says:
Thank you Mr. Wallace for all your hard work and effort for the Glory of God. Praise the Lord for people like you 💝. One thing I enjoy sharing is how the book of Daniel is UnBunkable. This OT book is dated long before Jesus (Exact not relevant), and how it prophesied over 2300 years worth of prophecy, but to be more exact is the 70 week prophecy, where that last week is all about Jesus and the ending of the daily sacrifices (mist of week), written by a man hundreds of years before Jesus. Daniel I believe cannot be Bunked by anyone my opinion and yes I have tried. This book led me out of the Religion of Atheism, .. praise the Lord 💝.

Wow!! I’ve watched a lot of your videos, this is one of the most dynamic of them all. Very well put-together.

Bart Errman was NEVER a saved Christian since he doesn't believe in miracles(resurrection) ••My personal OPINION is that Bart Errman went to college specifically to learn as much as he could, as well as he could, so to poke as many holes he possibly can in scripture, using mental waterboarding tactics. He holds to his advantage people with titles and appeal as colleagues, and relies on the fact that most Christians don't read or study the Bible and cower to him because of his prestige and their own ignorance. ••Luke 16: 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, THEY HAVE MOSES AND THE PROPHETS; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, IF THEY HEAR NOT Moses and the prophets, NEITHER will they BE PERSUADED, though one ROSE FROM THE DEAD. (KJV) ••2 Corinthians 3: 12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14But THEIR MINDS WERE BLINDED: for UNTIL THIS DAY REMAINETH the SAME VAIL untaken away in the reading of the old testament; WHICH VAIL IS DONE AWAY in CHRIST. 15But EVEN UNTO THIS DAY, when Moses is read, the VAIL IS UPON THEIR HEART. (KJV) ••2 Corinthians 4: 1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2But have renounced the HIDDEN things of DISHONESTY, not walking in CRAFTINESS, nor HANDLING the WORD of God DECEITFULLY; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3But IF our gospel BE HID, it is HID TO THEM THAT ARE LOST: 4In whom the god of THIS WORLD(Satan) hath BLINDED THE MINDS of THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (KJV)
