The criteria of embarrassment in the New Testament, such as the disciples' failures and the role of women as witnesses, indicate that the accounts are historically authentic.

“I think if we're asking the questions of mythological drift, I also think we need to account for the fact that there are details within the New Testament that would be embarrassing if they weren't if they were made up. Why would you make up embarrassing facts about the closest disciples of Jesus”

Jeremiah Johnston maintains that the current biblical texts are remarkably stable, matching ancient manuscripts with roughly 98% accuracy.

“The fascination that there is no difference truly it's 98% text stable meaning the Bible you open at mass literally matches this with a 98% accuracy.”

John Burke posits that biblical prophecies, such as the scattering and regathering of the Jewish people, serve as evidence of God's sovereign control over history.

“God said here's how you'll know I am truly God I alone know what's going to happen in history I alone can tell you in advance what's going to happen and then it's gonna and then it happens and that's how you'll know”

Modern archaeological findings in Israel consistently corroborate the historical and spiritual accounts found in biblical scripture.

“And there is not one verse of scripture that has ever been controverted by any discovery in archaeology. It's it's the converse. Every single archaeological discovery in this land, and there have been a lot of them, and some incredible ones, have affirmed.”

George Howard asserts that the Tall Al-Hammam site in the Jordan Valley is the location of the biblical city of Sodom.

“And I have no doubt that personally that that site is Sodom and that se separate from just the impact evidence there's a lot of other biblical evidence that suggest that the law city of Sodom has now been found by Dr Steven Collins”

The ending of the Gospel of Mark containing the handling of snakes was added by later scribes and was not part of the original text.

“I was just making stuff up here. So, I mean, who put that in there? Uh, later scribes. You know, as I was telling you, we don't have the original of Mark. And one of the big things they did with Mark is they added 12 verses after Jesus' resurrection, the scribes did”

The Gospel of Mark is the oldest gospel and the original ending did not contain the account of Jesus's resurrection as it appears in later manuscripts.

“Mark's the First Gospel Mark's the First Gospel Mark's the First Gospel and none of the manuscripts before that yes can you can you clear say that again okay so Mark being the first gospel right has the we have manuscripts of Mark right so the first actual go first actual Bible Church Bible where it”

The Bible was constructed by councils such as Nicaea to curate a politically controlled narrative, intentionally omitting original texts and essential mystical truths.

“They whittle it down to four. And it's a tightly controlled narrative that that comes to the same conclusion in each book. Each one cross references one of one another. And it's not that it's fabricated. It's just that it was it's religion by design, religion by council.”
