What Seminary REALLY Teaches about the Bible (The 3 hardest things)

Описание: 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 formed—things 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 scripture—methods that most Christians never encounter in Sunday school.

*What You'll Learn:*
→ How biblical scholars analyze texts (source criticism, redaction criticism)
→ Why doctrines like the Trinity took centuries to formulate
→ How humans (not God) decided which books made it into the Bible
→ Why learning these methods broke my faith... and why I'm still Christian

*This video is ACT 1 in my "Bible Misconceptions" series—the personal story of HOW I discovered what I know. For the specific problems I found, check out my "4 MAJOR Contradictions" video.*
