Did the New Testament Authors Lie? The Evidence Says No!
When it comes to the New Testament, we look at 6 reasons to trust the New Testament authors as reliable witnesses to Jesus miraculous life, teaching, death, resurrection, and ascension. Christians can confidently build their lives on the New Testament today.Imagine you were on a jury for a murder trial. What would make you trust the witnesses? You would want several trustworthy eyewitnesses. You would look for testimony that was serious, consistent, not exaggerated, and not self-serving. When we apply those same standards to the New Testament authors, their testimony is overwhelming. The New Testament was written close to the events it describes, while eyewitnesses were still alive. The writers include embarrassing details about Jesus, his family and the apostles. They lived with integrity, taught holiness and honesty, and had no obvious earthly gain from making up their message.In fact, many of them suffered, lost safety and status, and were martyred for proclaiming Jesus’ resurrection. People may die for a lie, but not for what they know is a lie.So, can you trust the New Testament? The evidence gives us strong reasons to say yes. And if the New Testament authors are trustworthy, their message is not merely interesting history. It is a call to trust Jesus as Savior and Lord.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate00:00 Imagine You’re on a Jury00:06 What Makes Witnesses Trustworthy?00:25 Applying the Same Standard to the New Testament00:34 Six Reasons to Trust the New Testament Authors00:40 Written Shortly After the Events00:53 Eyewitnesses Were Still Alive01:10 Plenty of Witnesses01:32 More Than 500 Saw the Risen Christ01:43 Signs of Honesty02:03 Embarrassing Details in the New Testament02:30 They Lived What They Taught02:50 Gospel Differences Make the Accounts Believable03:24 The Main Facts Stay the Same03:41 Nothing to Gain From Making It Up04:00 They Saw the Resurrected Jesus04:14 People Don’t Die for What They Know Is a Lie04:36 What’s Your Next Step?04:45 Trust a Savior You Can Worship05:01 Like, Subscribe, and Visit BinminCONNECT WITH THE BINMIN TEAMTikTok: / binmin_orgInstagram: / binmin_orgFacebook: / binmindotorgLinkedIn: / binminAsk Questions: [email protected] RESOURCESExplore more from Binmin at Binmin.orgSubscribe on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/Binmin-YoutubeSubscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/Binmin-apple-podcastFollow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09etqAg...JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/Some Binmin videos are created with the contribution of AI tools and are always carefully reviewed, revised, and taught by our team to ensure they reflect our biblical convictions and theological clarity.#Christianity #TrustTheNewTestament #GospelWriters

New Testament Variants: More Evidence, Not Less Reliability
You may have heard people claim there are 200,000 to 400,000 Biblical "errors" in the New Testament, and a number that large can sound terrifying if you are trying to trust Scripture.But that claim is profoundly misleading. In this episode of the Binmin Popscast, we explain why serious scholars call these differences New Testament VARIANTS, not errors! Given the more than 5,800 handwritten Greek New Testament manuscripts, small differences are expected. But those differences do not mean the original text has been lost.Instead, the abundance of New Testament manuscripts gives scholars more material to compare. This helps them identify spelling differences, word order changes, accidental omissions, and other minor variations. Most variants are trivial and obvious, and even the genuinely debated ones do not change any core Christian doctrine.So when someone says there are hundreds of thousands of errors in the Bible, you do not need to panic. The better question is whether these variants destroy the reliability of the New Testament. The answer is no. Far from undermining confidence, the manuscript evidence shows that the New Testament has been preserved with remarkable care.The New Testament remains a trustworthy foundation for faith.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donateYouTube Clickable Chapters00:00 - ARE THERE ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?00:20 - WHERE DO THE BIG ERROR NUMBERS COME FROM?00:40 - VARIANTS, NOT ERRORS00:57 - A SIMPLE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE01:34 - NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS EXPLAINED01:48 - INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL VARIANTS02:09 - DO VARIANTS RUIN THE MESSAGE?02:20 - WHAT IS TEXTUAL CRITICISM?02:31 - MORE MANUSCRIPTS MEAN MORE EVIDENCE02:50 - THE 100-PIECE PUZZLE ANALOGY03:10 - MOST VARIANTS ARE MINOR03:28 - CORE CHRISTIAN BELIEFS ARE NOT CHANGED03:45 - WHY THE BIG NUMBER SHOULDN’T WORRY YOU04:07 - THE REMAINING 0.25%04:40 - PRESERVATION, NOT CORRUPTION05:07 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP?05:20 - LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND VISIT BINMINCONNECT WITH THE BINMIN TEAMTikTok: / binmin_orgInstagram: / binmin_orgFacebook: / binmindotorgLinkedIn: / binminAsk Questions: [email protected] RESOURCESExplore more from Binmin at Binmin.orgSubscribe on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/Binmin-YoutubeSubscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/Binmin-apple-podcastFollow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09etqAg...JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/Some Binmin videos are created with the contribution of AI tools and are always carefully reviewed, revised, and taught by our team to ensure they reflect our biblical convictions and theological clarity.#Christianity #BibleReliability #ErrorsInTheBible

Proof Using Historian's Tests: You Can Trust the Bible!
Can you really trust the Bible after it has been copied so many times? In this episode of the Binmin Popscast, we look at real historical evidence to answer one of the most important questions Christians, skeptics, and spiritually curious people ask: Can I trust the Bible?Maybe you have heard critics say the Bible has been changed, corrupted, or copied too many times to be reliable. Or maybe you are a Christian who wants to feel more confident about Scripture but does not want to ignore honest questions. The good news is that trusting the Bible does not require blind faith or shutting down your mind.In this video, we walk through three tests historians use to evaluate ancient documents: how many manuscript copies exist, how close those copies are to the original writings, and how accurately the text was passed down. When we apply these same historical tests to the New Testament, Scripture stands in a category of its own.The New Testament has thousands of Greek manuscripts, thousands more early translations, and over a million quotations from early church fathers. That abundance does not weaken confidence in the Bible. It gives scholars more material to compare so they can identify differences and determine what the original text said.So, can you trust the Bible? The historical evidence gives strong reasons to say yes. And if the Bible is trustworthy, then Scripture is not merely an ancient document to study. It is God’s Word for you to receive.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - CAN YOU REALLY TRUST THE BIBLE?0:22 - A THIRD OPTION: REAL EVIDENCE0:48 - TESTING THE BIBLE LIKE ANCIENT BOOKS1:17 - DO WE USE A DOUBLE STANDARD?1:31 - HOW HISTORIANS TEST ANCIENT DOCUMENTS2:00 - WHAT IS THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC TEST?2:17 - TESTING THE NEW TESTAMENT2:22 - TEST 1: NUMBER OF MANUSCRIPTS3:00 - THE STADIUM ANALOGY3:12 - WHY MORE COPIES HELP3:40 - TEST 2: TIME GAP BETWEEN COPIES4:00 - ANCIENT WORKS VS.

When Peace Feels Far Away:Try This!
If anxiety keeps stealing your peace, memorize these three verses and pray them slowly back to Jesus. You are not powerless. You are not abandoned. And you are not left to figure this out by yourself.Bible verses for anxiety can help you pray when your mind is racing, your chest feels tight, and peace feels far away. In this episode of the Binmin Popscast, we walk through three Bible verses for anxiety that you can pray back to God when fear feels heavy.Maybe you look fine on the outside, but inside, everything feels overwhelming. Maybe you want to pray, but you do not know what to say. The good news is that God does not ask you to fight anxiety alone. He invites you to draw near, cast your cares on Him, and ask for His peace.In this episode, we look at Isaiah 41:10, 1 Peter 5:7, and Philippians 4:6–7. These passages remind us that God is with His people, cares for their burdens, and gives a peace that can guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.This is not a quick-fix promise that anxiety will disappear instantly. Prayer is not a magic formula, and healing is often a process. But as you bring your thoughts, fears, and what-ifs to God, He begins to reshape your heart and mind with truth.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - ANXIETY STEALING YOUR PEACE?0:20 - YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT ANXIETY ALONE0:40 - THREE BIBLE VERSES FOR ANXIETY0:50 - ANSWER ANXIETY WITH GOD'S PRESENCE1:09 - ISAIAH 41:10: GOD IS WITH YOU1:30 - PRAY HONESTLY WHEN FEAR RISES2:00 - STOP CARRYING WHAT GOD TOLD YOU TO CAST2:06 - PETER 5:7: CAST YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM2:24 - ANXIETY CAN FEEL LIKE WHACK-A-MOLE2:50 - TELL GOD WHAT'S WEIGHING ON YOU3:35 - ASK CHRIST FOR HIS PEACE3:40 - PHILIPPIANS 4:6–7: PRAY WITH THANKSGIVING4:11 - GOD'S PEACE GUARDS YOU IN THE PROBLEM4:43 - PEACE CAN COME LITTLE BY LITTLE5:07 - YOUR NEXT STEP WHEN ANXIETY RISES5:30 - A BENEDICTION OF PEACE5:49 - SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND VISIT BINMINJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Stuck in Your Faith? Learn These 7 Areas Immediately!
Feeling spiritually stuck? This video will help you identify your next step with God so you can stop feeling vaguely discouraged and start moving forward with purpose.Many Christians want to grow closer to God, but they feel distracted, isolated, spiritually dry, ashamed, unsure how to read the Bible, afraid to share their faith, or overwhelmed by questions. The good news is that God wants to help you get unstuck. James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”In this episode, we walk through seven key areas of the spiritual life: Bible knowledge, spiritual disciplines, discipleship, soul care, apologetics, evangelism, and cultural engagement. Each area includes practical questions to help you diagnose where God may be calling you to grow right now.Maybe your next step is reading Romans 8 this week. Maybe it is spending the first five minutes of your day with God. Maybe it is joining a church group, asking for help, writing down your biggest faith question, starting a gospel conversation, or pausing before you post online.Spiritual growth usually does not happen vaguely. It happens specifically, one faithful next step at a time. If you feel spiritually stuck, this video is designed to help you name where you are, receive hope, and take a clear step toward Jesus.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHAT'S YOUR NEXT STEP SPIRITUALLY?0:23 - GOD WANTS YOU TO GET UNSTUCK0:58 - YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS ALONE1:10 - THE SEVEN AREAS OF SPIRITUAL LIFE1:21 - BIBLE KNOWLEDGE: KNOWING JESUS THROUGH SCRIPTURE2:27 - SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES: HABITS LIKE JESUS3:28 - DISCIPLESHIP: FOLLOWING JESUS WITH OTHERS4:29 - SOUL CARE: LETTING JESUS HEAL HURT5:44 - APOLOGETICS: CLEARING THE WAY FOR JESUS6:54 - EVANGELISM: TELLING OTHERS ABOUT JESUS8:03 - CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT: FOLLOWING JESUS IN PUBLIC9:06 - HOW THE SEVEN AREAS MOVE OUTWARD9:28 - PICK ONE AREA9:43 - GET SPECIFIC WITH YOUR NEXT STEP10:08 - SHARE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBENEXT VIDEO COMING IN JULY!!!!!JOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

God Has a Next Step for You! Will You Take It?
Feeling spiritually stuck can be discouraging, especially when you want to grow closer to God but feel distracted, stagnant, lonely, or unsure what to do next. In this Binmin episode, we talk honestly about why spiritual growth can feel hard and how to find your next step with Jesus.Maybe your life feels crowded by social media, work, entertainment, and constant noise. Maybe you have real questions, past church hurt, discouragement, or loneliness that makes faith feel harder than it used to. If so, you are not alone. Many Christians feel spiritually stuck, but that does not mean God is distant or that something is wrong with you.Psalm 145:18 reminds us, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” God sees where you are right now, and He knows how to meet you there.In this episode, we walk through seven key areas of the spiritual life: Bible knowledge, spiritual disciplines, discipleship, soul care, apologetics, evangelism, and cultural engagement. These areas can help you diagnose where you may be stuck and discover one simple next step toward spiritual growth.You do not need a complicated fix-your-whole-life plan. You need a clear next step.

You're Doing Hospitality Wrong (Here's What the Bible Says)
Most of us grew up thinking Christian community meant having people over to a perfectly clean home with a home-cooked meal and a curated playlist. And because that feels impossible we just… don't do it. But what if that's not what biblical hospitality is at all?In this episode, we break down the difference between entertaining and true biblical hospitality and why that difference changes everything. Entertaining is about impressing people. Hospitality is about serving them. One is performance. The other is presence. And the Bible is pretty clear about which one God is calling us to.We dig into 1 Peter 4:9, the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10, and Romans 15:7 and pull out a definition of hospitality that actually fits the Christian lifestyle we're all trying to live. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with your home, your cooking, or whether your couch is Instagram-worthy.In this episode: • The real difference between entertaining and biblical hospitality • Why God's command to be hospitable has nothing to do with perfection • What the Greek word for hospitality actually means (hint: it's about strangers) • How Martha and Mary show us presence always wins over preparation • 4 simple ways to start practicing real hospitality this weekYou don't have to be perfect. You just have to be present."I'm not going to see the dust on your mantelpiece if I'm looking you eye to eye and you're showing me how much you care about me."SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:50 - ENTERTAINING VS.

Can You Grieve and Still Believe? Yes!
Grief is one of the most painful human experiences and no one escapes it. But when you're a Christian, grief can feel even more complicated. Like you should have more peace. Like your faith should make it hurt less. Like something is wrong with you if you're still falling apart.In this episode, we talk about how to deal with grief without losing your faith or your honesty. Because Scripture doesn't call you to pretend. It calls you to grieve with hope. And those are very different things.We dig into what Paul means in 1 Thessalonians when he says Christians don't grieve "as others who have no hope" and why that's not a command to feel better faster. We look at Jesus weeping at Lazarus' tomb, and what that tells us about God's heart for your pain right now. And we talk through what it actually looks like to carry both grief and Christian hope at the same time.In this episode: • Why grief doesn't mean your faith has failed • The two ways to grieve and what makes the Christian way different • Why "Jesus wept" might be the most important verse for the grieving • What the resurrection of Jesus means for the loss you're carrying today • 3 practical steps for grieving with hope (not just pushing through)You don't have to be okay. But you don't have to be without hope either."Who you hope in is bigger than what you've lost."SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - THE PAIN NO ONE ESCAPES0:53 - WHY GRIEF FEELS SO COMPLICATED FOR CHRISTIANS1:44 - TWO WAYS TO GRIEVE2:45 - WHAT THE RESURRECTION MEANS FOR YOUR LOSS3:40 - JESUS WEPT AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING5:40 - STEP 1 BE HONEST WITH GOD ABOUT YOUR PAIN6:12 - STEP 2 DON’T GRIEVE ALONE6:58 - STEP 3 THERE’S NO WRONG WAY TO GRIEVE8:09 - WHO YOU HOPE IN IS BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU’VE LOSTJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Can't Pray? Here's the Answer!
Do you ever feel like you "can't pray?: Have you ever felt that your words are hollow, repetitive, or not reaching? The good news is that you're not alone! Most Christians, even mature ones, hit this wall once in a while. But younger Christians may not know there's a simple and practical way out.In this episode, we talk about one of the most practical tools in Scripture for transforming your prayer life: praying the Psalms. When you don't know what to say to God, the Psalms give you His own words to speak back to Him, and that changes everything.Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, guilt, or just feeling spiritually lost, the Psalms meet you exactly where you are. We walk through how to use them, not just recite them, but make them your own, so prayer becomes a real conversation instead of a ritual.In this episode: • Why prayer starts to feel empty (and why it's not your fault) • How praying Scripture, especially the Psalms, reignites a real connection with God • Psalm 25 & 27: for anxiety and fear • Psalm 31: for grief and emotional exhaustion • Psalm 51: for guilt and a need for restoration • Psalm 23: for when you feel lost and directionless • A simple, practical step to start praying the Psalms TODAYIf prayer has felt like an obligation instead of a conversation, this episode is your next step.

Exhausted? Good! Now God Can Use You!
If you're struggling with Christian mental health exhaustion, overwhelm, or feeling like you're not enough for God, you may have finally reached a point where God can use you!We live in a world that ties your worth to how much you produce. Do more. Be more. Achieve more. And when you hit your limit, it feels like you're letting God down. But what if your exhaustion isn't a sign of weakness it's an invitation from God?In this conversation, we dig into why your limitations aren't mistakes they're gifts from a gracious God. From Elijah collapsing in the wilderness to Paul's thorn in the flesh, Scripture is full of moments where God shows up most powerfully in human weakness.We cover: • Why Christian burnout doesn't mean you're failing God • What Elijah and Paul teach us about hitting the wall • How God's power is perfected in your weakness (2 Cor. 12:9) • 3 practical steps to stop fighting your limits and lean into God's strengthIf you've been pushing through exhaustion and wondering why it's not working, this might be the conversation you didn't know you needed.3 Steps in This Episode: → Be honest with Jesus about where you're weak → Practice saying no to protect what matters most → Treat rest as a form of worship not a luxuryYour limits aren't stopping you. They're the exact place God does His best work.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHY YOUR LIMITS FEEL LIKE FAILURE0:40 - YOUR LIMITATIONS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD1:24 - ELIJAH: EVEN THE STRONGEST BREAK DOWN4:28 - PAUL'S THORN: WHERE GOD'S POWER MEETS WEAKNESS6:27 - WHY LIMITS KEEP US HUMBLE8:05 - STEP 1 BE HONEST WITH JESUS8:40 - STEP 2 LEARN TO SAY NO9:22 - STEP 3 REST IS WORSHIPJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
