A satirical, secular take on weird cults



This You Tube presentation is from December 5, 2015. As disclaimer, I do not make any claims about the reliability of the research this source provided. It is satirical and deals with the issue of false religion.

However, the discussion of cults as false religion, highlights the need for historically documented religion.

Encountering The New Testament Greek Manuscripts

The Encountering texts states that transition was not perfect, but it was more than reliable enough for us to have little doubt in what the New Testament writers first wrote. (12). There are no grounds for any serious theological doubts. (12). The New Testament is internally consistent. It is near 100% certainty of accuracy. (12). This would not allow for any reasonable conspiracy theory of a corruption in original theology. Revisionist theology for modern times, that contradicts biblical theology is not a reasonable approach within a biblical worldview.

In the same way, although older manuscripts, the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament: '...became a cannon, authoritative collection of documents. (8). These writings were accepted as Scripture by Jesus Christ, his Apostles and disciples. (8). The Hebrew Bible as older will also not provide perfect copies of originals, but it still provides accurate historical religious history.
