Something dynamic happened in Paul’s life in a short period of time that turned his world upside down. He not only became a Christian, he became a leader of the church in Jerusalem, and he became an evangelist over the known world to share Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

Josh explains why one of the greatest testimonies of the power of Jesus Christ, the validity of the Scriptures, and the resurrection is the Apostle Paul.

The criticism regarding the different names of God in the Pentateuch are silenced by the discoveries in Ebla.

Did the kingdom of Ebla exist? The findings led David Noel Freedman to make this claim, “Behind the tradition of the Bible there is now established fact.” There are two or three major criticisms that scholars have made about the Bible over the years, and Ebla has disarmed every one of them.

The civilization of Ebla existed 1,000 years before Moses and existed for 800 years as a great civilization. The finds from this excavation site revealed two distinct languages used during the reign of Ebla.

Josh delves into the details of Moses as author of the Pentateuch. An excavation site brought to light an ancient civilization, the kingdom of Ebla that clarifies the issue of Moses as the Pentateuch’s author.

Josh introduces the debate of scholars towards the authorship of the Pentateuch. Jesus Himself quotes Moses 16 times and attributed to him the Pentateuch, but what about the dates and the development of the writing system?

Robert Dick Wilson said, “If anyone questions the accuracy of the Old Testament, tell them just to check out the spelling of the kings.” There were 40 kings living between 2,000 B.C. and 400 B.C., and each one appears in the Old Testament in exact chronological order with reference to his country, every single one of them spelled correctly.

The Bible shows a dramatic accuracy in comparison to Non-Biblical texts. Josh compares the accuracy of Old Testament kings to the catalogue of the kings of Egypt made by the librarian at Alexandria in 200 B.C.

Dr. Robert Dick Wilson studied every major language the Bible has been translated into for fifteen years, he studied the entire text of the Old Testament for 15 years, and then he wrote and spoke on his findings for the next 15 years. Listen to Josh share his observations!

Could Moses have written the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible? Many scholars say no, but is that true?

After 45 years of scrutinizing the Scriptures, Robert Dick Wilson said one of the most amazing things he found was the accuracy of spelling of the names of kings in the Scriptures. Why is this so significant? Listen and see!

The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the caves at Qumran. Written by a religious sect called the Essenes, these scrolls have given scholars the lacking information on the Second Temple Period. Josh describes their significance in this talk.

The most significant find in Qumran was a scroll of Isaiah, a complete copy that dates to 125 B.C., outdating the earliest Isaiah manuscript they had by 1,100 years! The comparison of these two manuscripts revealed the transmission accuracy in an incredible way!

11 caves, 40,000 inscribed fragments, and 500 complete books were reconstructed! Their significance is amazing…

Discovered by two Bedouin shepherds, the Dead Sea Scrolls were an accidental find! Listen to the story of how these scrolls were found after 2,000 years!

The lack of Old Testament manuscripts does not take away from their authority, because God gave the scribes such a commitment and discipline to the copy the Scriptures exactly. Sir Fredrick Kenyon, the curator at the British Museum and one of the top experts in the world on manuscripts, made an interesting observation that Josh shares in this video.

If scribes found more than three mistakes in a manuscript, they would destroy it! The scribes had many built-in checkpoints to find errors. Josh gives some examples to display the extraordinary faithfulness these scribes had to the original text.

The process of textual transmission was a tedious discipline. In this talk, Josh explains the methods scribes used to copy accurately, including interesting details about their clothing!

Josh continues his talk on the Masoretic commitment to accuracy. God is not only concerned with the truth of His revelation but also the fidelity of its transmission throughout history.
