One of the biggest misconceptions atheists have about Christianity is that it doesn't make any sense—especially the Trinity. In this video I explain why the Trinity is the ONLY concept of God that makes sense. If you're a Christian, watch this and learn how to defend your faith. If you're an atheist, may Random Chance bless you. Christian men, join the Hammer & Anvil Society: https://thethink.institute/society

Is the Bible we read today the same one the prophets, apostles, and early church had? In this episode, we put the Scriptures under the microscope—textual criticism, the Dead Sea Scrolls, manuscript counts, famous variants (like John 7:53–8:11 and Mark 16:9–20), and the claim of “400,000 errors.” We’ll show why the integrity of the Bible matters for the Gospel, for trusting Jesus (John 10:35), and for your everyday evangelism.What you’ll learn:Why this question isn’t a side issue—it’s about the trustworthiness of the Gospel and of Christ Himself.OT reliability: Masoretic Text vs. Dead Sea Scrolls—how close are we to the originals?NT reliability: the bibliographical test, thousands of manuscripts, and how variants are weighed.The “400,000 variants” claim—what counts as a variant, and why the vast majority don’t change meaning.Big textual questions (e.g., Longer Ending of Mark, Woman Caught in Adultery, Johannine Comma) and why identifying them strengthens confidence.Why alternative “final authorities” never face the same scrutiny—and why Scripture stands.===============================Resources mentioned: Ketef Hinnom Scrolls: https://ketefhinnomsilverscrolls.github.io/about.htmlIntroduction to Textual Criticism pt. 1: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-3-textual-errors/Introduction to Textual Criticism pt. 3: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-3-textual-errors/Ed Gravely - Aren't There 400,000 Variants in the NT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieq2fYH9gs https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-1-introduction/=================================If this helped you:👍 Like the video to boost it to more viewers.🧠 Subscribe to The Think Institute for clear, biblical worldview training.💬 Drop your toughest objection below—we do Q&A episodes.📩 Join our email list & resources: thethink.institute🙏 Support the work & get member perks.Keywords: Bible changed over time, Dead Sea Scrolls, Masoretic Text, textual criticism, Bible variants, Bart Ehrman, New Testament manuscripts, reliability of Scripture, apologetics, Reformed theology, evangelism, worldview, GospelHashtags: #Apologetics #BibleHistory #TextualCriticism #Worldview #Reformed

In this episodeHave you seen those viral “biblically accurate angel” images online? They’re haunting—but are they accurate? Joel Settecase dives into Isaiah 6 and Ezekiel 1 to reveal what the Bible actually says about cherubim and seraphim, the heavenly throne guardians who serve, worship, and protect the presence of God.What you’ll learnWhat seraphim really are and why their name means “burning ones.”How cherubim function as divine throne guardians and attendants.Why these beings appear with wings, eyes, and even serpent imagery.What Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s visions reveal about the holiness of God.How understanding the spiritual realm shapes your worldview today.Why it mattersPop culture has trivialized angels into cute mascots and sentimental symbols—but Scripture describes terrifying, majestic beings created to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding their purpose gives us a deeper grasp of God’s majesty and holiness—and a renewed call to worship Him with reverence.Scripture & theology highlightsIsaiah 6:1–7 – Isaiah’s vision of the Lord and the burning seraphim.Ezekiel 1 & 10 – Cherubim and the wheels within wheels under God’s throne.Hebrews 1 – Angels serve the Son and worship Jesus Christ as Lord.Resources mentionedThe Think Institute Spiritual Warfare Guide: https://thethink.institute/store/p/spiritual-warfare-guideWes Huff, Biblically Accurate Angels? Not Really: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ckfo9AEAyr8Dr. Michael Heiser, Angels, Demons, The Unseen RealmTakeawayThe seraphim burn with divine purpose, the cherubim guard God’s holiness, and both point us to the One they serve—the Lord Jesus Christ. If these mighty beings bow before Him, how much more should we, who have been redeemed by His blood, worship Him in spirit and truth.Join the missionGet equipped, build your legacy, and join a brotherhood of Christian men through the Hammer & Anvil Society.
