10 Changes Made to the Bible (Part 1 of 2)

Hello there guys! This video will be an in-depth examination of how our modern Bible was created and written and how it differs from the ancient texts of thousands of years ago. You will learn how the Bible has been “changed“ or “altered“ over time and what these changes mean and why they were made - everything from Goliath's Height to Jesus's sayings. Hope you enjoy and learn something new! Edit: I have since realized that a significant amount of the information in this video should be more properly cited to their original authors, to avoid taking credit for their hard work. Much of this video would not have been possible without the research of Biblical scholar Bart D. Ehrman across his various works and lectures and I have since recognized that portions relied on him a little too much. Here are some points where I should have quoted authors instead of paraphrasing or re-wording them. 10:00 (Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus, 2005, pg. 66-67) 11:32 (Ehrman, Misquoating Jesus, 2005, pg. 103) 19:57 (Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus, 2005, pg. 195-196) Background music: “Precipice”, “An Evening A Lifetime”, “Looked Back Saw Nothing”, “Not Without the Rest”, “Life in Romance” and “Marxist Arrow“ by Twin Musicom () “Blue Feather“ by Kevin Macleod Citations: Reddish, Mitchell (2011).
