What Seminary REALLY Teaches About the Bible đą (3 Facts BROKE My Faith... & I'm Back)
What do they ACTUALLY teach in seminary that churches never talk about? After completing my MDiv and PhD in Christian Origins, I learned 3 shocking facts about how the Bible was really written, how church doctrines developed, and how the Bible canon was formedâthings that completely transformed my faith. This isn't about finding errors or contradictions (I have other videos on that). This is about the METHODS and PROCESSES that biblical scholars use to understand scriptureâmethods that most Christians never encounter in Sunday school. *What You'll Learn:* â How biblical scholars analyze texts (source criticism, redaction criticism) â Why doctrines like the Trinity took centuries to formulate â How humans (not God) decided which books made it into the Bible â Why learning these methods broke my faith... and why I'm still Christian *This video is ACT 1 in my "Bible Misconceptions" seriesâthe personal story of HOW I discovered what I know. For the specific problems I found, check out my "4 MAJOR Contradictions" video.* đ Related Videos: Death of Judas -    â˘Â How did Judas die? And WHY this legend was...  Problems in the oldest Bible -    â˘Â The World's OLDEST Bible Has 3 SHOCKING Pr...  2 Peter is a forgery -    â˘Â 2 Peter Authorship: The Hard Truth (5 Reas...  đą FOLLOW FOR MORE YouTube: @cjcornthwaite Instagram: @cjcornthwaite Website: cjcornthwaite.com Email: [email protected] đď¸ FOOTNOTE FAMOUS (MY PODCAST) Conversations with the worldâs top scholars of the Bible and Christian origins. đhttps://www.footnotefamous.com/ OR Listen on your favorite streaming platform ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lSzQzT...
