Top Bible Scholar Debunks TikTok Bible Myths | Dr. Dan Wallace
"From viral TikTok claims to skeptical arguments popularized by comedians and progressive influencers, Christians are constantly told that the Bible was rewritten, corrupted, edited by kings and popes, and passed down like a giant game of telephone. But is any of that actually true?
In this conversation, I sit down with New Testament scholar Dr. Dan Wallace as he explains what textual criticism really is, how New Testament manuscripts were copied and preserved, what textual variants actually mean, and why the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament is far stronger than most people realize.
We discuss:
Whether the Bible was changed over time
The “telephone game” objection
Bart Ehrman and textual variants
How scholars determine the original wording of Scripture
Why manuscript differences don’t threaten core Christian doctrine
The history of canonization and transmission
Viral skeptical claims circulating online today
Why this conversation matters for Christians raising kids in a skeptical culture
If questions about the reliability of Scripture have ever unsettled you—or someone you love—this episode offers both historical depth and practical clarity." from the video introduction
