[0:05] hello there again and welcome to

[0:08] Wednesday's in the word we're excited as

[0:11] we dive into this new Bible study it's

[0:15] important when you study the Bible to

[0:19] know where your Bible came from we want

[0:20] you to consider the source you know a

[0:24] lot of different versions are available

[0:27] of the Bible now when you go into the

[0:29] bookstore that especially the Christian

[0:31] bookstore there's version after version

[0:33] after version and sometimes you can

[0:36] wonder well which one's the right one

[0:38] but here at Bible Baptist Church we

[0:41] believe the Bible has been preserved for

[0:44] us and that the Bible is inspired by God

[0:48] the reason why we believe that is

[0:50] because we know the source of our Bible

[0:53] the ones that we use every Sunday in our

[0:56] building and every Wednesday and in our

[0:58] daily personal life we know where that

[1:01] Bible came from and so we want to

[1:03] consider the source today but in order

[1:06] to consider the source let me share with

[1:07] you some scripture verses that I believe

[1:09] are important Psalm 1 1989 the Bible

[1:13] says forever O Lord thy word is settled

[1:17] in heaven forever o Lord thy word is

[1:21] settled in heaven when it comes to our

[1:23] Bible we know that God wrote the Word of

[1:27] God now they're different pin men who

[1:30] wrote down the words but they were

[1:33] inspired of God the Bible tells us in

[1:35] 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 17 all Scripture is

[1:39] given by inspiration of God and is

[1:42] profitable for doctrine for reproof for

[1:44] correction for instruction in

[1:47] righteousness that the man of God may be

[1:49] perfect throughly furnished unto all

[1:51] good works

[1:52] the Bible is important and the source of

[1:56] our Bible is very important we believe

[1:58] the source comes from God that's an

[2:01] important truth to remember God is the

[2:03] one who inspired men in fact the 2nd

[2:06] Peter 1:21 it says for the prophecy came

[2:08] not in old time by the will of man but a

[2:11] holy men of God spake as they were moved

[2:14] by the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost

[2:17] we could say it this way the holy ghost

[2:20] grabbed the hand riders hand and helped

[2:23] him to write the words led by the spirit

[2:26] to pin the words to the Word of God and

[2:29] that all Scripture inspiration that word

[2:32] inspiration means God breathed God

[2:35] breathed and so God breath they spoke

[2:38] the words to the heart of the men and

[2:40] they wrote them down and it's been

[2:42] settled in heaven forever O Lord thy

[2:45] word has been settled in heaven and so

[2:46] we know that the Word of God came from

[2:50] God and that's vitally important now you

[2:53] said what about the Bible I hold in my

[2:55] hand where did it come from well it's

[2:58] important to know where you're the

[3:01] source of your Bible comes from so I'm

[3:03] going to share a little bit about that

[3:04] today but I want to help you real quick

[3:07] why it's so important to know the source

[3:10] if I set two glasses up here today with

[3:13] clear liquids in them you'd be excited

[3:16] to see what was in the glass you'd look

[3:19] at the glass and you would tell that

[3:21] there was both liquids in the glass that

[3:24] they were clear liquids you could tell

[3:27] that something may be in one of them

[3:31] that may be good or may be bad

[3:33] no no sub you say well once filled with

[3:35] bottled water and once filled with tap

[3:37] water and that's the difference well not

[3:39] exactly in fact if I told you that one

[3:42] was source was from a fresh mountain

[3:45] spring and it was clear crystal water

[3:48] you'd be excited to drink it but if in

[3:51] the other glass I told you it's 90

[3:54] percent clear crystal water and 10

[3:59] percent strychnine now strychnine is a

[4:02] clear liquid but strychnine is poisonous

[4:05] to human beings and animals and if you

[4:08] were to drink the glass that had the

[4:10] strychnine in it you'd be in trouble

[4:14] you may even cost your life but when it

[4:18] comes to the Word of God there are some

[4:21] Bibles that are 100% from God and there

[4:26] are other Bibles that are 90% maybe or

[4:30] 80 or 70

[4:32] Bible but there's also a lot of poison

[4:35] in them and if you're not careful if you

[4:38] don't know the source then you can end

[4:42] up drinking from the wrong well it could

[4:44] end up hurting your spiritual life so

[4:47] when it comes to our Bible the King

[4:50] James Bible how did it get here how do

[4:53] where did it come from

[4:56] so in our presentation today you're

[4:59] gonna see some graphs and in the

[5:01] description below this video there will

[5:03] be a link to some PDFs that could be a

[5:06] help to you in your Christian life that

[5:08] you can have alongside with this video

[5:11] to help you understand where your Bible

[5:15] came from so the Old Testament will

[5:18] start there because it came first the

[5:20] Old Testament the original autographs

[5:23] came from 1500 to 400 BC now

[5:28] unfortunately there's no surviving

[5:30] complete manuscripts they got worn out

[5:33] through use during that time the

[5:36] manuscript was a lot of animal skins and

[5:39] it just deteriorated quickly and so from

[5:43] 1500 to 400 BC we've got the Old

[5:46] Testament original autographs the ones

[5:48] written by Moses said Joshua and Samuel

[5:53] and the different prophets Isaiah and

[5:56] Jeremiah all those prophet writings they

[5:59] they were written during that timeframe

[6:01] and then under that the Old Testament

[6:03] manuscript of biblical times under the

[6:05] priesthood 1500 to 400 BC now that's

[6:10] another part of our Bible again we don't

[6:12] have any of those manuscripts that have

[6:15] survived that we're aware of after that

[6:18] comes the manuscripts from the times of

[6:19] scribes during the Talmudic era 400 BC

[6:23] to over 500 AD and many of those have

[6:27] were passed down now when it comes to

[6:30] Bible translation the work of a scribe

[6:32] we're going to get to that here in a

[6:34] couple sessions I'm going to explain how

[6:36] important that was and knowing that the

[6:39] Word of God that we hold in our hands

[6:41] today is the preserved Word of

[6:44] but the manuscripts then of the

[6:46] Masoretic xizt today and we have access

[6:56] to those from those manuscripts the

[6:59] Masoretic text came the Hebrew Masoretic

[7:01] Old Testament it was printed in 1488 AD

[7:05] again this source the Hebrew Masoretic

[7:09] Old Testament comes from the manuscripts

[7:12] before it which were copies of the

[7:14] manuscripts before them which were

[7:16] copies of the manuscripts before them

[7:19] and they were very very careful to copy

[7:22] every word and every line exactly as it

[7:28] was written and 1516 to 1517 we have the

[7:34] first romantic Bible it's the Daniel

[7:37] Boone burg Edition and that copy of the

[7:40] Word of God that source of the rabbinic

[7:43] Bible came from the Masoretic text which

[7:46] came from the manuscripts of the

[7:48] mazarites which came from the

[7:50] manuscripts from the Talmudic area which

[7:53] came from the manuscripts under the

[7:55] priesthood which came from the

[7:56] manuscripts all the way back to the

[7:58] original autographs the translation

[8:01] protocol was so vitally important to

[8:03] scribes that they would put in detail

[8:06] every single word to make sure that it

[8:10] got passed down to future generations

[8:14] after the first rabbinic Bible is the

[8:16] second rabbinic Bible the Ben Shyam

[8:18] edition 15 24 to 1525 from that edition

[8:23] we have written that shortly after that

[8:26] timeframe in 1611 the authorized King

[8:29] James Version of the Old Testament that

[8:33] version translated from Hebrew and

[8:36] Aramaic into English our Old Testament

[8:40] and in the process of translation it was

[8:43] very important to the translators to

[8:47] keep the definition and the meaning of

[8:49] the words the exact same as they could

[8:52] from the Hebrew and air

[8:55] texts so a kid in our Old Testament we

[8:58] can trace the line all the way back and

[9:02] know exactly the source of where it came

[9:06] from it's kind of like that cup of water

[9:08] that I mentioned to you if I went to the

[9:11] mountain spring and I drew it from the

[9:12] mountain spring and brought it straight

[9:14] to you I could say to you this came from

[9:17] this place during this time and I

[9:19] brought it straight to you and I can say

[9:21] definitive out our King James Bible

[9:24] where it came from how it got here and

[9:27] how you and I get to hold it in our

[9:29] hands today now that's the Old Testament

[9:32] let me tell you a little bit about the

[9:33] New Testament in the New Testament the

[9:36] original autographs were from 400 or C

[9:39] from 40 to 180 there's no surviving

[9:43] complete traditional manuscripts and

[9:47] from those original autographs we find

[9:50] the Greek vulgate was written those are

[9:53] copies of the originals so the original

[9:57] autographs were copied word-for-word

[9:59] line for line thought for thought and if

[10:03] you ever have read the doctrinal

[10:05] statement of our church you'll notice

[10:07] that it says that Bible Baptist Church

[10:09] believes in the verbal plenary

[10:12] inspiration of Scripture that's every

[10:16] word and every thought they are tied

[10:19] together because words mean things we'll

[10:22] talk about that more next week but every

[10:24] word and every thought so we from the

[10:27] Greek Vulgate we go to the traditional

[10:29] text the Byzantine manuscripts it's

[10:32] called the majority text for some and

[10:34] that we have that and again that's an

[10:36] original copy of the Greek Vulgate which

[10:39] were copies of the original autographs

[10:42] so the ones that Mark wrote the ones

[10:44] that Matthew wrote the ones that the

[10:46] Apostle Paul and the Apostle John and

[10:49] Peter wrote we have those copied down

[10:52] for us throughout history from the

[10:55] traditional text we find the minuscule

[10:58] manuscripts not minuscule because they

[11:00] were tiny but that was the name given to

[11:03] them from the 9th to the 15th century AD

[11:06] from there in 1400

[11:09] we have the Walden Zients who in the

[11:11] Italy and the Italian Alps copied down

[11:14] the Word of God from the Walden ziens we

[11:18] find the Greek text additions now it's

[11:22] important to understand something the

[11:24] Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic New

[11:27] Testament switches over to Greek the

[11:29] reason being that was the language of

[11:31] the day when it came to writing so

[11:34] finally here we continue on the Greek

[11:36] additions we have the Erasmus he has

[11:39] five additions from 1516 to 1535 but

[11:43] again the source line is directly from

[11:47] the correct source robert Stephanus he

[11:50] had four additions in 1546 to 1550 one

[11:54] possibly even into 1550 theodore beza he

[11:59] had ten additions 1565 to 1604 and 1565

[12:04] is the one most commonly used or

[12:06] referenced but a venture in matthew

[12:09] Lovisa they had seven additions 1624 two

[12:13] 1678 one of those being in 1633 the

[12:17] texas Receptus from that texas Receptus

[12:21] that original greek language that goes

[12:23] all the way back to the original

[12:26] autographs there's a direct line as

[12:28] you'll see on the chart on the screen

[12:30] there's a direct line from point A to

[12:34] point G or whatever point we're on right

[12:37] now there's a direct line connecting all

[12:40] of those but from that Greek Texas

[12:42] Receptus we begin the English

[12:45] translations they wanted to put the Word

[12:47] of God in every man's hand

[12:50] so in 1525 215 26 we had the Tyndale

[12:54] Bible in 1535 the Coverdale Bible

[12:58] 15:37 the Matthews Bible but again all

[13:02] of these coming from being translated

[13:03] from the Greek Texas Receptus into the

[13:07] English translation from the Matthews

[13:10] Bibles you have the great Bible now the

[13:12] great Bible is really interesting do you

[13:14] know why it's called the great Bible

[13:16] because it was written in a very large

[13:18] font it's huge the manuscript is huge

[13:20] that's why they called it the great

[13:22] Bible in 1557 the Geneva Bible and in

[13:26] 1560 I should say in 1557 the New

[13:30] Testament of the Geneva Bible in 1560

[13:33] the Geneva Bible was completed from the

[13:36] Texas Receptus and the Hebrew and

[13:38] Aramaic text that we mentioned from the

[13:41] Old Testament in 1568 you have the

[13:44] bishops Bible and then in 1611 you have

[13:47] the King James Version of the Bible

[13:50] now again these English translations

[13:53] came from the correct Greek text the

[13:55] Texas Receptus it's important to know

[13:58] the source the direct line so I could

[14:00] say to you this way as I said earlier I

[14:03] can say that I went to the mountain

[14:05] spring I got the cup of water directly

[14:08] from the mountain spring and I brought

[14:10] it to you and when you hold a King James

[14:12] Version of the Bible in your hand you

[14:15] can say that you've got it from the

[14:16] original autographs all the way brought

[14:19] down into your English language there's

[14:22] a direct line of the source now you'll

[14:24] notice on the screen and also in the

[14:28] PDFs that are listed below there was

[14:30] some backing up to the fifth century

[14:32] some corrupted manuscripts that survived

[14:36] there are two different branches off of

[14:39] these original autographs you have the

[14:42] Western texts and then you have the

[14:44] Alexandrian text you the western text

[14:48] was used for the Latin text and the

[14:50] Roman Catholic Bible Catholicism one of

[14:53] their own Bible so you have the Latin

[14:56] Vulgate who is written by Jerome now

[14:59] that's not the same as the traditional

[15:01] text it's larger it's got some extra the

[15:04] books at it in if you've ever picked up

[15:07] a Catholic Bible you'll notice it has

[15:09] the Old Testament the New Testament but

[15:11] there's a spot in the middle with a

[15:13] section called the Apocrypha that has

[15:16] additional books an additional texts

[15:19] that are not found to be in the original

[15:23] autographs not only from there you have

[15:26] deletions from the traditional texts

[15:28] dealing with the Ascension atonement and

[15:31] more so they leave words out now if you

[15:33] remember we said that all

[15:35] scripture is given by inspiration of God

[15:37] and is profitable every word every line

[15:40] every thought we also mentioned in

[15:43] Psalms that is said forever O Lord thy

[15:45] word is settled in heaven so when you

[15:48] take something out when you pull away

[15:50] from it you change the meaning of the

[15:52] text the church fathers who love these

[15:56] Western text where ireenie astre tholian

[15:59] cypress and Justin the martyr those were

[16:02] men who adhered it to the Western text

[16:05] now you have the Alexandrian text they

[16:08] came out of Egypt in Africa they're not

[16:11] the same as a traditional text they're

[16:13] actually shorter but they attack the

[16:16] deity of Christ

[16:17] now all English translations since 1881

[16:21] except for the King James Version and

[16:24] the New King James Version are from

[16:26] these texts the critical text is called

[16:30] the Westcott and Hort text in 1881 now

[16:34] those texts take out words they're

[16:38] leaving out things that are vitally

[16:41] important in fact you would look at some

[16:45] of the verses in the NIV the NA SV the

[16:48] ESV the message Bible now the message

[16:52] Bible really is just a man's commentary

[16:54] on what he thinks the Bible says but the

[16:57] ESV the NIV in the NA s read three of

[17:00] the more popular versions those versions

[17:02] they're all come from the Alexandrian

[17:05] text now I'll tell you what would happen

[17:07] with the translator a translator are

[17:10] ascribed as they would write the words

[17:12] as I should say a scribe not a

[17:14] translator as the scribe would write the

[17:17] words if he made one mistake on the page

[17:20] he would take that page and toss it into

[17:23] the trash and dispose of it because he

[17:27] knew how important it was to have it be

[17:30] 100% accurate they didn't have whiteout

[17:34] in those days so you couldn't go back

[17:36] and wide it out so at the end of the

[17:40] time we find that they would go back in

[17:43] and rewrite a brand-new page now if you

[17:46] study that Alex

[17:47] in Texas found in Egypt and Africa

[17:49] you'll discover this important truth

[17:51] they found them in the trash they found

[17:54] them in the disposal trash there in

[17:57] Egypt so in a place where scribes threw

[17:59] the trash out that's where they find

[18:02] these texts and they use that to bring

[18:04] it in and say this is the Word of God

[18:07] it's important for us to also understand

[18:10] this knowing the source of your Bible

[18:13] and where your Bible comes from gives

[18:15] you an assurance that you truly do hold

[18:19] in your hand the Word of God now we're

[18:23] gonna try our best each week to keep

[18:25] these - about 15 minutes I covered a lot

[18:28] of information I literally covered from

[18:31] the Old Testament times all the way up

[18:34] until today but I want you to remember

[18:37] this important truth the source of where

[18:39] your Bible comes from helps you to know

[18:42] that you're standing upon the Word of

[18:44] God so if you haven't in I've here in

[18:48] ASV or ESV lookup some of the verses in

[18:51] there and compare them to the King James

[18:54] Version and see if some words change

[18:57] because when words change it changes the

[19:00] doctrinal truth that's in there we'll

[19:03] talk more about that next week but I

[19:05] thank you today for coming along this

[19:07] journey this is lesson number one and

[19:10] we've got a quite a few lessons to go

[19:12] but we want to help you to know that you

[19:15] hold in your hand the Word of God and

[19:17] the Bible truly can change your life if

[19:20] you allow it to and again thanks for

[19:23] watching today and we look forward to

[19:26] this journey as we journey together on

[19:28] Wednesdays in the word and we hope to

[19:30] see you in church on Wednesday night

[19:32] here at Bible Baptist Church here in El

[19:34] Reno Oklahoma but remember - hi God's

[19:37] Word in your heart that you might not

[19:39] sin against God studying the Word of God

[19:42] is vitally important and today we want

[19:45] you to take every Wednesday and be in

[19:48] the word thanks for tuning in we'll see

[19:51] you next time
