No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.

@@ToOpen6seven Original scripts a d rolls were STOLEN from Jerusalem and Holy Land by catholic crusaders! The compiling of various books was first done by catholic priests. Protestant Reformation brought about scholars translating the scripts again and deciding on content of Bible as is now. Apocrypha books and others were excluded for reasons seemingly valid 1000yrs ago.......NOT TODAY THOUGH. Books like Gospel of Thomas, Enoch, Sirach and many more carry same weight and authenticity as the rest. Catholics reject the Thomas Gospel especially because Yehosua mentioned that keeping the Sabbath is essential! Both Catholics and Protestants have diluted the Holy Scripture so much that a complete investigation and re admitting ALL scripts is necessary!
I lived in northern Italy and Sicily in 1981. I think it was in Sicily that I was told by Catholic women that the church didn’t allow them to read the Bible themselves. They also had to buy things from the church in celebration of different holidays or they’d lose their salvation. It took years for young couples to save up to be married in the Catholic Church b/c even a simple ceremony was so expensive & the people in this area were poor. I’m not trying to criticize the Catholic Church; I imagine it’s changed by now (and I doubt it was like that in other countries and areas back then). But the mention, in this video, of how common ppl weren’t allowed to read the Bible brought these memories back.
Interesting comment. Those women, however, we're commenting on local marriage customs, not requirements of the Catholic Church, which, truth be told, eschews so much of the pomp and circumstance of modern weddings. Normative marriage in the Catholic Church requires a priest and the couple. Period. The only cost would be a "stipend" to the priest--to the laborer go the wages (1 Tim 5:18). In a serious pinch, the man and woman can marry each other (as in "Braveheart"), since they are the ministers as well as the matter of the Sacrament. The priest is actually the Church's witness.)
The few handwritten Bibles in those years would cost the people their lifetime earnings, and many people of those ages do not know how to read and write. Opening the Bible to laymen brought us 8000 plus Christian denominations who don’t agree on few words or passages. Giving every John and Doe the Bible was like opening the door to the Tower of Babel, we are talking of the same book but we don’t understand each other. Everyone who had read the fruit of the tree (the Book) thought he has learned how God works and think. Men of Pride. We don’t know how much more were unpublished in the old copies of Didache (the writings that preceded the Bible that we know today); they are in the libraries of many monasteries under Catholic Parishes and out of reach to just any Peter and John. This fact escaped those who claims ‘sola scriptura’ as the sole basis of their Christian faith.
@@yanayoriginals8498 thank you for the information. I recently learned that there are actually 45,000 Christian denominations worldwide, and rapidly growing as groups break off from the churches they’re attending b/c they don’t agree w how that pastor is interpreting the Bible - so they start their own church. That number doesn’t include all the “house churches” that are springing up everywhere. I’m grateful to have been led to the missionaries over 40 yrs ago and how that has blessed my life. I love that I can attend church anywhere in the world and the doctrines taught are the same wherever I go.
The Catholic church is the whore of Babylon fulfilling Daniel 7:25. The Protestant churches are her daughters. There is only one true Church and its members are described in rev 14:12.
I’m Lima Orn, a Christian in Cambodia 🇰🇭. I appreciate your help so much. I really want your transcript of this video to help me more understanding so that I can help the others understand the Bible’s history better. Blessings 🙏
I learned more about how the Bible came about with this video than I have ever known in my entire life. This is one of those that will have to be watched many times. So much information in these words.
WHAAAAT?! Such unwarranted snideness Do you need a job to keep your time better occupied? Perhaps time on helping needy people ... there are unending needs. That's how i got inspired to go to tech school for the medical field ... volunteering at a hospital when my job ended bcs of the company going out of business. I ended up with an unexpectedly satisfying job, good money that allowed me to support my child myself and (with sacrifice of usual family niceties such as weekend trips away from the house or eating out) carpool her 22 miles away for a Christian school and extracurricular activities). It-s incredible how much GOD will bless uou IFCyou 'love the Lord with all your heart.....and soul, and your neighbor as yourself." (Not speak/ write down at them) Seek Savior Jesus with all your heart while you still breathe. He PROMISES He WILL be found. See Joni and Friends Disanbility Ministries for just some ideas. @@Reyajh
There are better videos than this! I have a playlist titled KJV ONLY on my channel if you'd like to watch them! They're not my videos; they're just other videos on RUclips I've found.
I am Zimbabwean and my language is SHONA.. I always wondered why the book ok James in SHONA was Jakobho (Jacob)😅...l now understand thank you for this study..... I pray that i would be able to sudy more on this and teach others ❤.. May the Lord Bless you all😊
This is such a great job thank you . We could see God throughout history using people on different ages continents languages and eras to bring his message to humanity.Having the Bible in our hands today and be able to read it is such a miracle by itself.
Truly to be thankful ,I was waiting to know of how we got the BIBLE N THE JOURNEY THE WORD OF GOD HAD TO GO THROUGH TO REACH US. JUST CAN'T THANK GOD ENOUGH 🙏
This is the most comprehensive video I've ever watched about the history of the Bible. Ìt is truly a blessing and has helped me to appreciate my Bible a whole lot more. The bit at the end about the symbols etc was a real eye opener. Thank you very much for all your effort in putting together this invaluable information. God bless you richly.
I have been studying this area a long time. You really did an EXCELLENT job!! Thank you!! Great resources!! Great format!! By the way years ago I did buy the Thomas Matthew Bible from the site you referenced. They did a great job on this Bible. I felt blessed to have one. I believe that seeing all these Bibles come forth answers the question, "....as long as it is translated correctly." Years ago I used to wonder how that statement could be made. So I studied it. Thank you Brother!
Wow - that sounds amazing. I am growing a pretty good collection so far but I'm looking forward to more in the future. I'm glad you liked the presentation. The more we studied the more exciting things there were to find. It's a rich subject. The more you learn, the easier it is to see the Lord's hand in this work.
Those great men of God did a great job of translation of the Bible into our languages. Had they not translated it we would have not having the Bible in our hands. Wonderful and excellent work.
Having spent some time working with linguist as a missionary with native Amazonian tribes in Colombia and Venezuela, I can appreciate the effort involed in Bible translation and word/phrase selection. This documentary helps us understand the immense investment of time and energy, the scholarship and research, required to bring faithful translations of the Bible into the vernacular language of a people. Good job!
All Glory to GOD'S infinite Wisdom to protect the Dead Sea scrolls in caves for 2000 years ! The book of Isaiah is almost a perfect translation word for word to today's version, as are many other scrolls that were found !! The Bible is the living Word of God --- Heaven and Earth will pass away , but my words will never pass away !!! Matt. 24: 35 . Please read the Gospels of Jesus - * John chapters 10 - 14 ( trinity ) . Ask Jesus to give you spiritual wisdom to understand his word , Ask and you shall receive - I Know it has worked for me ❤🙏.
@@ChessCat1500 OK, ChessCat1500, so let's have a discussion about this. My first question to you is a simple one. Have you ever lived among a native tribe of Indians in the Amazon? A native tribe anywhere? Not one partially assimilated by a surrounding culture, but one in their natural and inherited culture?
I am totally amazed!!!! I sent this fantastic video to many friends of mine , some of them pastors, theologians, Bible students.Its been 5 days and not one responded about how they liked it.Most of them are retired.I ve watched it twice already and plan to watch it many times. Hosea said. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Hosea 4:6. God bless you for this great video Evangelist Roger Mansour missionary to Haiti
What a wonderful gift! I cannot imagine the time and research that went into this presentation. I'm going to have to watch it again and again! I love the KJV of the Bible, and this will help me appreciate it even more. Thank you.
Hi everyone I am looking for old Bible for my 6 children to buy I don’t have a lot of money but still keeping my eyes open Lovez Jesus n all you in Our Christ our Savior :) Thanks
yes Kjv Bible is God's word,,best translation and all the research still keeps me back to my kjv Bible I read thru out my life,,,Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9. God bless.
I think of the scriptures like a masterpiece painting. If you look up really close to the painting, you just see splotches and blobs of paint, but if you stand back you see the beautiful masterpiece. If you look really close at the words of the bible, you might 'splotches and blobs' of words, mistakes or miss-translations, but when you stand back and look at the scriptures as a whole, you just see a beautiful image of Jesus.
This was fabulous. It makes me cry to think of how blessed we are, among all the people of history, to have the scriptures at our fingertips. My 10th great grandfather, John Robinson (1575-1625) was a theologian (and father of the Pilgrims) who studied the scriptures extensively. He believed the Lord had more to say to mankind, and that it would be given in America. Your lesson has made me appreciate the text he studied.
This had such valuable information that I am still in awe. I will be watching again so that I can take comprehensive notes! This was so well thought out and presented in an easy to understand format. Thank you!
I had no idea how much opposition the printing of the Bible has had for public use. What an effort by so many determined and chosen people. And Thanku for all your preparation to open my understanding. Love it 💞
Thank you for this. I've learnt so much and have greater appreciation for the bible and how it reached even my country in Africa kenya 🇰🇪 🙏. I am so humbled by the history of the bible. It was not an accident. Its not a white man's book...it's a true historical account of God's words.
Wishing you many blessings and fruitful live. Our Father created all souls. We come here in flesh bodies. He created ALL races and declared "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
What is so telling, is the effort to preserve and convey the truth vs the effort to deny and shut it down. If the Bible did not contain God's word, there would be no fight against it.
@@brokenrecord3095 I think what they mean is such a coordinated attack against it from the Powers that be for such a long period of time. Racism is accepted as normal in the East. Practically required to be Asian. So, there isn't a global 3,ooo yr coordinated attack against racism. Its a an issue of degree & consistency.
Right, because people would NEVER fight against corruption, deception, and fraud. According to your mindset, no one would ever fight against anything bad, they would only fight against the good. What kind of sick mind do you live in?
Wonderful job of concisely presenting a very long and sometimes complicated history. What a great gift to all mankind the Bible is! Truly we have it-- bathed in blood and tears!
I really enjoyed this documentary. It was so interesting to learn about the different translations and their origins. An excellent production. Thanks so much for sharing this. Well done!
This is such a valuable project. I had always wondered how we got Bible and even did research this project just bought all things together. Thank you for all your hard work.
This is marvelous docummentary on the Bible the word of the living God. Thank you dear brothers for making this available to the children of God. May God bless you abundantly.
I have a Geneva Bible of 1560 an unfortunately I have not been able to read it but I thank you for this video because now I will be able to TRY to read it. Have a blessed day. Again thank you
Thank you for an informative and interesting video. I also find it inspiring to contemplate the sacrifice of the people who did that work. It makes me realize that I should appreciate the Bible more.
I am so excited to come across this Lil gem...Feeling blessed 🙂 Where have i been .... Everywhere yet nowhere at the same...I've woken from some sleep state of being...
This is my absolute favorite of the your ones I’ve listened to. It hooked me enough that near the end I switched from podcast to RUclips for my first time with you guys… and I’m hoping to find time to watch it from the beginning now. There is just so much I wish I could retain! Another podcast’s (possibly a different episode of yours- I listen to so many it’s a blur) explanation of the King James process had already enlightened me with a newfound appreciation for the sincerity behind “as far as it is translated correctly,” that this whole long history here just amplified that so much. It will change how I read this year. You’ve also reawaken long forgotten curiosities from my linguistics minor, and at 2 am I had to talk myself out of reading more pages of really old bibles (haha). Thanks! This was a LOT a of work
That's a fact brother😊, little clues left in Roman's help firm up my faith that we have the whole council of God, e.g. we have 27 books in the N.T. Canon, and Paul the apostle sent greetings to 27 people in Roman's ch 16😊, then 5 send greetings with Paul which could be symbolic of O.T. books in some way?
Excellent educational explanation & information of the origination of biblical books! These translations of Hebrew, Greek, & Latin in conjunction with other languages did educate the masses. We are blessed for these revisions & Gutenbergs printed biblical contributions was so complicated! William Tin-dale was Godly equipped to translate with persecution but prevailed! Thank God for the tenacity of this English translation!
It's a shame that Guttenberg's Press was first used by The Catholic Church, to print "Indulgences", so ST. Peter's Catholic Church could be rebuilt. But then, Luther would not have been so angry, and write his 95 Thesis.
I will replay this over and over. I am very impressed with the research that you have translated into a wonderful presentation for all of us. Technology has allowed us to enjoy your talents and blessed skills. I am thankful for your work.
This was superbly done and the best overall summary of biblical evolution I’ve ever come across. I was looking for more “Gems” till I saw that this a a Mormon world view. As I restrict my scriptural studies to Christianity, I won’t be subscribing, but am grateful for the work that went into your Bible video. Thank you.
Thank you for time and effort to teach us the vast amount of knowyou have accumulated over time.. it clarifies many of my questions in genealogical research I have run into in the past. You guys will be further blessed. You are loved.
Thanks! Always great to be reminded of the spiritual warfare that is around the Bible. Appreciative that King Jesus is still here today...and shall always be. Now and forevermore.... Amen!
Enjoying and learning much! Thank you! Makes me appreciate the copies of the Bible I am privileged to own. God's hand through godly people to preserve the Word and get these translations to the nations and to our time. Is another of God's wonders.
Thank you :) this is an awesome and quite a detailed and extensive teaching resource (including the links and bibliography & notes as well is so helpful!!) for a layperson to utilize in order to learn and understand the history of just how GODs (יהוה )hand (All praise to The Most HIGH YHWH!!) placed HIS WORD (this is HIS story after all ❤) in a format so that HIS children (HIS lost sheep) would be able to have the instructions we need so that we are properly equipped to travel life’s path. HE has chronologically throughout history made sure that we had the instructions since Adam and Eve left the garden hasn’t HE? Such a kind, clever, merciful and loving CREATOR that we serve. May YAH bless and keep you for helping to share this invaluable knowledge with others ❤
I guess. With translation errors and certain people putting in and taking out what they see fit based on their own agendas and biases, we need to Take that in account as believers. We are not a cult, so we shouldn't act like a cult when it comes to the scriptures. We should worship God, and not the book.
This history of the bible has incredibly been tried, and tested with fire and proven true - particularly as it relates to the many translations and the many lives that were sacrificed to help bring the word of salvation, to peoples of the world. It would seem then, that in light of the pressing of the word of God , and the intense oppositions and sacrifices of human lives that gave birth to what we have today ; the revelation of the word of God by the Holy Spirit is not only imperative but is extremely important . For indeed, if there seems to be any lack, error or deliberate misgivings regarding bible , the Spirit of Jesus Christ is more than able reveal the Truth of God to those who seek Him. I find this portion of history of the bible most interesting, informative and stirring . Thank you.

Well presented. It is good to see that Mormons are learning more about the Holy Bible. When I grew up in the church, the Bible was pushed onto the back burner while the Book of Mormon and D&C were the only standard of truth. I was told that the Bible was corrupted so there was little emphasis on it even though we had the Joseph Smith translation. This presentation is very informative.
I don’t know what church you went to, but that has not been my experience with the Bible in the restore church of Jesus Christ. I have always loved and revered the Bible.
I just found out through some research using sites like Ancestry that I am a direct descendant of John Rogers through my mom’s side (her mom’s mom). My husband sent me this documentary to help me understand more about him and what he believed and literally died to protect and produce and why he did it 🥺❤️
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! And hey, if you'd like a little "linguistic nerd" dessert, check out this article that was just published by Jon's father in-law (Calvin Tolman) [you might recognize the narrator]: journal.interpreterfoundation.org/liahona-prepared-of-the-lord-a-compass/#more-54952
This is God proving to us that no one can fight against God and win ,God is indeed in control of everything on the earth thanks . The Bible is the book of Life indeed thanks
This! So awesome. I was about to sign up for an online class on how the bible came to be but I feel this information is sufficient to understand the bigger picture of God's word for now. I love the comparison at the end of the scriptures to sheet music. That resonated with me. Thanks so much for the thoughtful insights. What a treasure! I'll be revisiting this lecture!
This is a great work done on the origin of the Bible. And this knowledge makes me question the authenticity of what so called scholars say about what they claim is God 'said'. Following your video, I have come to understand the baises that made it way into the translation. Despite, these shortfalls, I'm privileged to have a copy of the Bible to read, understand and know God for myself; a privilege our ancestors missed due to politics and religious laws. Good work done.
I am so amazed at the in-depth work that has gone into this wonderful experience of learning of how the Bible came about and how the Lord’s hand in it coming to the common people and not just in church and clergy setting. I can tell that a lot of prayer and fasting helps brought this to us. Thank you for time talent and knowledge. I will be listening many more times to deepen my knowledge understanding and love of the Bible. This is so awesome with our study of the Bible this year.
John14:6 Jesus said unto him I'm the way the truth and the life only way to the father is thru me. The Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9 Harpoza soon
Great video. Why no mention of the Ethiopian BIBLE. it's the most complete by (book count 88) and the oldest on the planet by nearly 1000 years (800 years).
Rarely do I EVER view and listen to any video like this one. But believe it, I was glued to me chair. For it is the best narrative and music I have EVER heard. WOW! I'm going to view it again. WOW! I said all that to say this: While your historical video was great and I assume mostly true, I believe you left out one of the most things; you could've ever said. And that is this: Any wise bible scholar will tell you; that any translation from one language to another; IS going to have mistakes. Worse: it causes Miss- understandings. There is NO way to stop it. So, when one translate's Hebrew to Aramaic to Greek and to early English; there is NO way in the world all readers are not going to believe things that are lies. Oh indeed. The proof... And I believe that is why the WEB says; that there are 45,000 "denominations"; that all say, "We are right and the others are wrong. And WE got ours from the bible!". Yeah right! So sad! Thus: even though you did an incredible video; you left out the imporant truth's mentioned above. Believe it or not. End of Story and I rest me case... In any case kind Brethren Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
There are few points or keys in the Bible I'll like to point out. (1) Revelations: 14:6 Angel flying in heaven with the Everlasting gospel, (2) Deut 30:1-5 The gathering of the Israelites after the Scattering. (3)1 Peter 3:19-20 The preaching of the Gospel to those who are dead since Christ died for the living and the dead also. (4)1 Thess 15:29, For the spirit that are accepted the gospel in the Spirit Prison will have a chance like if they were still alive. (5) The spirit who'd repenting in the Spirit Prison would have a chance to be baptized represented by their relatives or someone who is alive. (6) Malachi 4:5-6, Prophet Elijah will come again to seal the children to parents and parents to their children. With almost 50,000 religions coming out of the same Bible, there's ONE and ONLY ONE religion among these religions who's preached and practiced all these ordinances according to the Bible.
Thank you so much, this was so inspiring and educational. I am actually edified by the fact that God hasn’t seemed too concerned about us having the exact words correctly transmitted down the generations. I feel like it demonstrates that God trusts us to figure things out and besides, his voice is always available for those who seek it. The specific words in the Bible are not as important as the continuing guidance and education through his spirit.
I love the KJV. The current day translators have been convinced that the dubious manuscripts, both "found" in the possession of Catholic libraries are more accurate than that which has survived them. The Codex Vaticanus ("found" in the Vatican Library) and the Codex Sinaiticus ("found" in a Catholic monastery) are held up as "more ancient" and therefore, better than the manuscripts used to create the King James Bible. Nobody can prove that either of these are "more ancient" than the Textus Receptus (KJV source text) but they assume that they are. No one can prove that these errant texts (and they are indeed errant) are more accurate than the Textus Receptus. If anything, these "found codices" are of Gnostic origin because they tend to minimize and erase the divinity of Christ. So, even if they are older (which they are not) they have an agenda inconsistent with the doctrine of Christ. Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God.
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
Thanks for the encouragement god bless 🙏🏿
Until we are together in Heaven, you can't know how much your words apply to and comfort me. PTL&TYJ kl

You sir, are awesome! Thank you.

Thank you and brother Fullmer, God bless you both!!
@@ToOpen6seven Original scripts a d rolls were STOLEN from Jerusalem and Holy Land by catholic crusaders! The compiling of various books was first done by catholic priests. Protestant Reformation brought about scholars translating the scripts again and deciding on content of Bible as is now. Apocrypha books and others were excluded for reasons seemingly valid 1000yrs ago.......NOT TODAY THOUGH. Books like Gospel of Thomas, Enoch, Sirach and many more carry same weight and authenticity as the rest. Catholics reject the Thomas Gospel especially because Yehosua mentioned that keeping the Sabbath is essential! Both Catholics and Protestants have diluted the Holy Scripture so much that a complete investigation and re admitting ALL scripts is necessary!
Ooh Thankyou so much! So helpful 🤗
I lived in northern Italy and Sicily in 1981. I think it was in Sicily that I was told by Catholic women that the church didn’t allow them to read the Bible themselves. They also had to buy things from the church in celebration of different holidays or they’d lose their salvation. It took years for young couples to save up to be married in the Catholic Church b/c even a simple ceremony was so expensive & the people in this area were poor. I’m not trying to criticize the Catholic Church; I imagine it’s changed by now (and I doubt it was like that in other countries and areas back then). But the mention, in this video, of how common ppl weren’t allowed to read the Bible brought these memories back.
Interesting comment.
Those women, however, we're commenting on local marriage customs, not requirements of the Catholic Church, which, truth be told, eschews so much of the pomp and circumstance of modern weddings.
Normative marriage in the Catholic Church requires a priest and the couple. Period. The only cost would be a "stipend" to the priest--to the laborer go the wages (1 Tim 5:18).
In a serious pinch, the man and woman can marry each other (as in "Braveheart"), since they are the ministers as well as the matter of the Sacrament. The priest is actually the Church's witness.)
The few handwritten Bibles in those years would cost the people their lifetime earnings, and many people of those ages do not know how to read and write. Opening the Bible to laymen brought us 8000 plus Christian denominations who don’t agree on few words or passages. Giving every John and Doe the Bible was like opening the door to the Tower of Babel, we are talking of the same book but we don’t understand each other. Everyone who had read the fruit of the tree (the Book) thought he has learned how God works and think.
Men of Pride. We don’t know how much more were unpublished in the old copies of Didache (the writings that preceded the Bible that we know today); they are in the libraries of many monasteries under Catholic Parishes and out of reach to just any Peter and John.
This fact escaped those who claims ‘sola scriptura’ as the sole basis of their Christian faith.
@@yanayoriginals8498 thank you for the information. I recently learned that there are actually 45,000 Christian denominations worldwide, and rapidly growing as groups break off from the churches they’re attending b/c they don’t agree w how that pastor is interpreting the Bible - so they start their own church. That number doesn’t include all the “house churches” that are springing up everywhere. I’m grateful to have been led to the missionaries over 40 yrs ago and how that has blessed my life. I love that I can attend church anywhere in the world and the doctrines taught are the same wherever I go.
The Catholic church is the whore of Babylon fulfilling Daniel 7:25. The Protestant churches are her daughters. There is only one true Church and its members are described in rev 14:12.
There's no W or J in ancient Hebrew. The tetragrammaton is correctly YHVH pronounced yahovha.

I learned more about how the Bible came about with this video than I have ever known in my entire life. This is one of those that will have to be watched many times. So much information in these words.
They are ignorant liars. You learned stupid.
Please view the video "How We Got The Bible " here on youtube - extremely interesting and worthwhile to view!!
Wow. Amazing. Superb. Perfect. Very clear
WHAAAAT?!
Such unwarranted snideness
Do you need a job to keep your time better occupied?
Perhaps time on helping needy people ... there are unending needs. That's how i got inspired to go to tech school for the medical field ... volunteering at a hospital when my job ended bcs of the company going out of business. I ended up with an unexpectedly satisfying job, good money that allowed me to support my child myself and (with sacrifice of usual family niceties such as weekend trips away from the house or eating out) carpool her 22 miles away for a Christian school and extracurricular activities).
It-s incredible how much GOD will bless uou IFCyou 'love the Lord with all your heart.....and soul, and your neighbor as yourself." (Not speak/ write down at them) Seek Savior Jesus with all your heart while you still breathe. He PROMISES He WILL be found.
See Joni and Friends Disanbility Ministries for just some ideas.

There are better videos than this! I have a playlist titled KJV ONLY on my channel if you'd like to watch them!
They're not my videos; they're just other videos on RUclips I've found.
I had absolutely no idea how complicated the whole process was! It gives me a new perspective that I will remember each time I pick up a Bible.
Yes, the whole story should be taught in schools so that children learn to appreciate what it took for them just to own a Bible.
@@DarrenWalley I completely agree.
I am Zimbabwean and my language is SHONA.. I always wondered why the book ok James in SHONA was Jakobho (Jacob)😅...l now understand thank you for this study..... I pray that i would be able to sudy more on this and teach others ❤.. May the Lord Bless you all😊
This is such a great job thank you .
We could see God throughout history using people on different ages continents languages and eras to bring his message to humanity.Having the Bible in our hands today and be able to read it is such a miracle by itself.
Truly to be thankful ,I was waiting to know of how we got the BIBLE N THE JOURNEY THE WORD OF GOD HAD TO GO THROUGH TO REACH US. JUST CAN'T THANK GOD ENOUGH 🙏
This is the most comprehensive video I've ever watched about the history of the Bible. Ìt is truly a blessing and has helped me to appreciate my Bible a whole lot more. The bit at the end about the symbols etc was a real eye opener. Thank you very much for all your effort in putting together this invaluable information. God bless you richly.
I have been studying this area a long time. You really did an EXCELLENT job!!
Thank you!!
Great resources!!
Great format!!
By the way years ago I did buy the Thomas Matthew Bible from the site you referenced.
They did a great job on this Bible. I felt blessed to have one.
I believe that seeing all these Bibles come forth answers the question, "....as long as it is translated correctly."
Years ago I used to wonder how that statement could be made. So I studied it.
Thank you Brother!
Wow - that sounds amazing. I am growing a pretty good collection so far but I'm looking forward to more in the future. I'm glad you liked the presentation. The more we studied the more exciting things there were to find. It's a rich subject. The more you learn, the easier it is to see the Lord's hand in this work.
Those great men of did a very good job, I honor them, and they in glory now.
Those great men of God did a great job of translation of the Bible into our languages. Had they not translated it we would have not having the Bible in our hands. Wonderful and excellent work.
Having spent some time working with linguist as a missionary with native Amazonian tribes in Colombia and Venezuela, I can appreciate the effort involed in Bible translation and word/phrase selection. This documentary helps us understand the immense investment of time and energy, the scholarship and research, required to bring faithful translations of the Bible into the vernacular language of a people. Good job!
I appreciate you.
All Glory to GOD'S infinite Wisdom to protect the Dead Sea scrolls in caves for 2000 years ! The book of Isaiah is almost a perfect translation word for word to today's version, as are many other scrolls that were found !! The Bible is the living Word of God --- Heaven and Earth will pass away , but my words will never pass away !!! Matt. 24: 35 . Please read the Gospels of Jesus - * John chapters 10 - 14 ( trinity ) . Ask Jesus to give you spiritual wisdom to understand his word , Ask and you shall receive - I Know it has worked for me ❤🙏.
Shame on you for wiping out (or attempting to or for being part of a community that attempts to) native tribal cultures.
@@ChessCat1500 OK, ChessCat1500, so let's have a discussion about this. My first question to you is a simple one. Have you ever lived among a native tribe of Indians in the Amazon? A native tribe anywhere? Not one partially assimilated by a surrounding culture, but one in their natural and inherited culture?
I am totally amazed!!!! I sent this fantastic video to many friends of mine , some of them pastors, theologians, Bible students.Its been 5 days and not one responded about how they liked it.Most of them are retired.I ve watched it twice already and plan to watch it many times.

It has been an incredible journey studying the topic. Glad you like it.

@@josephinemorgan6582 you are cursed by people who wrote kjv no by any creator, u are in deep sleep
No enjoyment allowed the president said it doesn't really exist;but he's a catholic???? Just telling big whoppers that's all
You have calmed a restless spirit...comforted a frightened child. You are immensely appreciated
That's really excellent, truly great.
I think of the scriptures like a masterpiece painting. If you look up really close to the painting, you just see splotches and blobs of paint, but if you stand back you see the beautiful masterpiece. If you look really close at the words of the bible, you might 'splotches and blobs' of words, mistakes or miss-translations, but when you stand back and look at the scriptures as a whole, you just see a beautiful image of Jesus.
This was fabulous. It makes me cry to think of how blessed we are, among all the people of history, to have the scriptures at our fingertips. My 10th great grandfather, John Robinson (1575-1625) was a theologian (and father of the Pilgrims) who studied the scriptures extensively. He believed the Lord had more to say to mankind, and that it would be given in America. Your lesson has made me appreciate the text he studied.
This had such valuable information that I am still in awe. I will be watching again so that I can take comprehensive notes!
This was so well thought out and presented in an easy to understand format. Thank you!
This was absolutely fascinating. Great work, very well-organized, articulated, and thorough.
You don't know how much that means to me. This has been a labor of love and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Take a look at the samarians same story s I think they are writing on tablets of clay baked
A question do you think Gutenberg who print the first bible
Thanks for including the timelines. Great presentation! Will listen again with pen in hand.
I had no idea how much opposition the printing of the Bible has had for public use. What an effort by so many determined and chosen people. And Thanku for all your preparation to open my understanding. Love it 💞
Thank you for this.
I've learnt so much and have greater appreciation for the bible and how it reached even my country in Africa kenya 🇰🇪 🙏.
I am so humbled by the history of the bible. It was not an accident.
Its not a white man's book...it's a true historical account of God's words.
Wishing you many blessings and fruitful live. Our Father created all souls. We come here in flesh bodies. He created ALL races and declared "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
What is so telling, is the effort to preserve and convey the truth vs the effort to deny and shut it down. If the Bible did not contain God's word, there would be no fight against it.
God promised to preserve His Word (Psalm 12:6,7).
that is silly . That's like saying if racism wasn't correct, there would be no fight against it/
@@brokenrecord3095 I think what they mean is such a coordinated attack against it from the Powers that be for such a long period of time. Racism is accepted as normal in the East. Practically required to be Asian. So, there isn't a global 3,ooo yr coordinated attack against racism. Its a an issue of degree & consistency.
Right, because people would NEVER fight against corruption, deception, and fraud. According to your mindset, no one would ever fight against anything bad, they would only fight against the good. What kind of sick mind do you live in?
@@brokenrecord3095No, it’s not.
Wonderful job of concisely presenting a very long and sometimes complicated history.
What a great gift to all mankind the Bible is! Truly we have it--

This is my absolute favorite of the your ones I’ve listened to. It hooked me enough that near the end I switched from podcast to RUclips for my first time with you guys… and I’m hoping to find time to watch it from the beginning now. There is just so much I wish I could retain! Another podcast’s (possibly a different episode of yours- I listen to so many it’s a blur) explanation of the King James process had already enlightened me with a newfound appreciation for the sincerity behind “as far as it is translated correctly,” that this whole long history here just amplified that so much. It will change how I read this year. You’ve also reawaken long forgotten curiosities from my linguistics minor, and at 2 am I had to talk myself out of reading more pages of really old bibles (haha). Thanks! This was a LOT a of work
Seriously, every translation you mentioned sparked me thinking “I want to read THAT one!”
That's great to hear! Between you and me, this one is my favorite too.
I know it's God's word! Because His Spirit speaks expressly through the passages😊
That's a fact brother😊, little clues left in Roman's help firm up my faith that we have the whole council of God, e.g. we have 27 books in the N.T. Canon, and Paul the apostle sent greetings to 27 people in Roman's ch 16😊, then 5 send greetings with Paul which could be symbolic of O.T. books in some way?
Excellent educational explanation & information of the origination of biblical books! These translations of Hebrew, Greek, & Latin in conjunction with other languages did educate the masses. We are blessed for these revisions & Gutenbergs printed biblical contributions was so complicated! William Tin-dale was Godly equipped to translate with persecution but prevailed! Thank God for the tenacity of this English translation!
It's a shame that Guttenberg's Press was first used by The Catholic Church, to print "Indulgences", so ST. Peter's Catholic Church could be rebuilt.
But then, Luther would not have been so angry, and write his 95 Thesis.
I will replay this over and over. I am very impressed with the research that you have translated into a wonderful presentation for all of us. Technology has allowed us to enjoy your talents and blessed skills. I am thankful for your work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Has the Dead Sea scroll s mean that the bible has to be rewritten or added to
This was superbly done and the best overall summary of biblical evolution I’ve ever come across. I was looking for more “Gems” till I saw that this a a Mormon world view. As I restrict my scriptural studies to Christianity, I won’t be subscribing, but am grateful for the work that went into your Bible video. Thank you.

I guess. With translation errors and certain people putting in and taking out what they see fit based on their own agendas and biases, we need to Take that in account as believers. We are not a cult, so we shouldn't act like a cult when it comes to the scriptures. We should worship God, and not the book.

This history of the bible has incredibly been tried, and tested with fire and proven true - particularly as it relates to the many translations and the many lives that were sacrificed to help bring the word of salvation, to peoples of the world.
It would seem then, that in light of the pressing of the word of God , and the intense oppositions and sacrifices of human lives that gave birth to what we have today ; the revelation of the word of God by the Holy Spirit is not only imperative but is extremely important .
For indeed, if there seems to be any lack, error or deliberate misgivings regarding bible , the Spirit of Jesus Christ is more than able reveal the Truth of God to those who seek Him.
I find this portion of history of the bible most interesting, informative and stirring .
Thank you.

Well presented. It is good to see that Mormons are learning more about the Holy Bible. When I grew up in the church, the Bible was pushed onto the back burner while the Book of Mormon and D&C were the only standard of truth. I was told that the Bible was corrupted so there was little emphasis on it even though we had the Joseph Smith translation. This presentation is very informative.
Hahaha. "The Bible is corrupt! Read this book that some totally not corrupt guy translated from metallic plates using magic stones in a hat!"
I don’t know what church you went to, but that has not been my experience with the Bible in the restore church of Jesus Christ. I have always loved and revered the Bible.
That is a different sect of mormonism.@@majesticliberatoroftheoppr3971
Great vid. I learned so much. Thank you for posting this.
Wow so well-researched and well-presented thank you for that fascinating and informative video
I just found out through some research using sites like Ancestry that I am a direct descendant of John Rogers through my mom’s side (her mom’s mom). My husband sent me this documentary to help me understand more about him and what he believed and literally died to protect and produce and why he did it 🥺❤️
This is the best, most thorough explanation I've ever seen. Thank you!
This was spectacular.
Give Me the Bible.
Such valuable information! Thank you for your research and delivery!
Wow what amazing 👏, praise God 👏 🙌 am going to listen to it again and again in order to understand more about bible 🙌 may God bless you guys 👦 🙏 ❤
it`s never too late to get your GED
I thoroughly enjoyed learning this intriguing information. Thank you. Blessings!!!
This is the most delicious feast for linguistics nerds I have yet seen on RUclips. A thousand thanks!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! And hey, if you'd like a little "linguistic nerd" dessert, check out this article that was just published by Jon's father in-law (Calvin Tolman) [you might recognize the narrator]: journal.interpreterfoundation.org/liahona-prepared-of-the-lord-a-compass/#more-54952
This lesson is a keeper to go over and over again. It was wonderful with so much scholarship. Thank you for doing this for us.
This is so good; I can't have enough of this video!
Samarians o dear
Well done! A Masterpiece of passing forward a complexed subject in an easily understood manner! Bravo :^)
This is God proving to us that no one can fight against God and win ,God is indeed in control of everything on the earth thanks . The Bible is the book of Life indeed thanks
Holy moly!!! 😇 What an invaluable resource! Thank you for your work in our behalf!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Samarians just take a look they did not do their research very sad
So very good. Much more info than the many others video origin videos I have seen. Thank you Fullmer Bros!!! ❤
Thanks indeed for the effort, time, and resources employed in this great task. May Elohim continuously bless everyone involved.
Wow spectacular as a young man who is hungry for God this was awesome.
This! So awesome. I was about to sign up for an online class on how the bible came to be but I feel this information is sufficient to understand the bigger picture of God's word for now. I love the comparison at the end of the scriptures to sheet music. That resonated with me. Thanks so much for the thoughtful insights. What a treasure! I'll be revisiting this lecture!
This is a great work done on the origin of the Bible. And this knowledge makes me question the authenticity of what so called scholars say about what they claim is God 'said'. Following your video, I have come to understand the baises that made it way into the translation. Despite, these shortfalls, I'm privileged to have a copy of the Bible to read, understand and know God for myself; a privilege our ancestors missed due to politics and religious laws.
Good work done.
I am so amazed at the in-depth work that has gone into this wonderful experience of learning of how the Bible came about and how the Lord’s hand in it coming to the common people and not just in church and clergy setting. I can tell that a lot of prayer and fasting helps brought this to us. Thank you for time talent and knowledge. I will be listening many more times to deepen my knowledge understanding and love of the Bible. This is so awesome with our study of the Bible this year.
Excellent work, bringing knowlegde and truth to light
God ,inspired it , God chose His messengers , God chose the messages .. it is His Story .....History ,..
If you say so
Magnificent work! Thank you so much!
Trough pain and suffering I come to know God more then EVER EVRYDAY. Thank you God because I truly believe in you now and forever 🙏 ❤️ Ed.
High.time
John14:6 Jesus said unto him I'm the way the truth and the life only way to the father is thru me. The Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9 Harpoza soon

Very interesting and informative! I skipped the last section, as I don't ever see me trying to read an old English Bible.
Amazing account. Am so thankful for those who gave their lives so we can have the Word of God.

Thank You guys, very interesting and educational as well as to understanding where abd how we got the Bible, now i know. God Bless.
That was fascinating. Thank you so much for all your hard work in putting that together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Morning. I felt Compelled to Share This Great Work!!!
Great video. Why no mention of the Ethiopian BIBLE. it's the most complete by (book count 88) and the oldest on the planet by nearly 1000 years (800 years).
Pick the history you want to share and leave the original out. Dig deeper for the ancient history. This ain’t it.
very nice video thanks for sharing this information and video, educational and knowledgeable information, need more stuff like this,
Wow this is worth a sub and a thumbs up for sure!
Rarely do I EVER view and listen to any video like this one. But believe it, I was glued to me chair. For it is the best narrative and music I have EVER heard. WOW! I'm going to view it again. WOW!
I said all that to say this: While your historical video was great and I assume mostly true, I believe you left out one of the most things; you could've ever said. And that is this:
Any wise bible scholar will tell you; that any translation from one language to another; IS going to have mistakes. Worse: it causes Miss- understandings. There is NO way to stop it. So, when one translate's Hebrew to Aramaic to Greek and to early English; there is NO way in the world all readers are not going to believe things that are lies. Oh indeed. The proof...
And I believe that is why the WEB says; that there are 45,000 "denominations"; that all say, "We are right and the others are wrong. And WE got ours from the bible!". Yeah right!
So sad! Thus: even though you did an incredible video; you left out the imporant truth's mentioned above. Believe it or not. End of Story and I rest me case...
In any case kind Brethren Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
I had read the history of Bible, but this is more in depth- deeper than my reading it. Loved the music which I missed since college! It added clarity
There are few points or keys in the Bible I'll like to point out. (1) Revelations: 14:6 Angel flying in heaven with the Everlasting gospel, (2) Deut 30:1-5 The gathering of the Israelites after the Scattering. (3)1 Peter 3:19-20 The preaching of the Gospel to those who are dead since Christ died for the living and the dead also. (4)1 Thess 15:29, For the spirit that are accepted the gospel in the Spirit Prison will have a chance like if they were still alive. (5) The spirit who'd repenting in the Spirit Prison would have a chance to be baptized represented by their relatives or someone who is alive. (6) Malachi 4:5-6, Prophet Elijah will come again to seal the children to parents and parents to their children.
With almost 50,000 religions coming out of the same Bible, there's ONE and ONLY ONE religion among these religions who's preached and practiced all these ordinances according to the Bible.
Great video!
Thank you so much, this was so inspiring and educational. I am actually edified by the fact that God hasn’t seemed too concerned about us having the exact words correctly transmitted down the generations. I feel like it demonstrates that God trusts us to figure things out and besides, his voice is always available for those who seek it. The specific words in the Bible are not as important as the continuing guidance and education through his spirit.
This video is masterpiece of Biblical scholarship!! Thank you!!😇
Love the podcast, and this is an absolute banger too!
Thanks, my dudes
Glad you enjoy it!
Very informative. Great video
I love the KJV. The current day translators have been convinced that the dubious manuscripts, both "found" in the possession of Catholic libraries are more accurate than that which has survived them. The Codex Vaticanus ("found" in the Vatican Library) and the Codex Sinaiticus ("found" in a Catholic monastery) are held up as "more ancient" and therefore, better than the manuscripts used to create the King James Bible.
Nobody can prove that either of these are "more ancient" than the Textus Receptus (KJV source text) but they assume that they are. No one can prove that these errant texts (and they are indeed errant) are more accurate than the Textus Receptus.
If anything, these "found codices" are of Gnostic origin because they tend to minimize and erase the divinity of Christ. So, even if they are older (which they are not) they have an agenda inconsistent with the doctrine of Christ.
Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God.
What is the music used in this?
