Summary

Paul closes Galatians with a line that feels almost too ordinary to matter: “See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.” We slow down and sit with that detail, because it points to something many people miss when they dismiss the Bible as myth. These are not fairy tales floating above history. They’re real letters from real leaders to real churches, written with ink, carried by messengers, and read aloud in public. From there, we build a clear, practical case for...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.3	Welcome back to the Daily Blade. We have finally made it to the end of
0:24.4	Galatians. We're in Galatians chapter 6. Beginning of verse 11, Paul says this,
0:30.2	see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. So we're going to spend
0:36.9	our time today just on this one verse.
0:40.2	This is the reason, by the way, a lot of people think that the thorn in the flesh that
0:44.7	Paul talks about in Corinthians when he asks God to remove it is his bad eyesight.
0:50.0	You see, oftentimes when a person like Paul would send a letter, they would dictate it to someone,
0:55.9	but Paul wants the church at Galatia to know that he is writing this, and a part of the reason
1:00.3	he's writing with such large letters, a lot of folks think that it's because he's got bad eyesight.
1:05.8	Well, the part of the reason I want to point this out is because Paul is a real man with real problems and he's writing a
1:12.5	real letter to a real church. Now, why does this detail matter? Because what I want you to see here
1:20.1	is that the scripture, the Bible, is not a fairy tale. It's not a fiction book. It actually
1:27.3	happened. And so I want to give you a few tale. It's not a fiction book. It actually happened. And so I want to give you a few
1:31.0	reasons why you can trust the word of God. I mean like hardcore reasons that you can trust the
1:38.2	word of God. Because you'll hear if you scroll the internet now, you'll see people say all this
1:42.8	kind of stuff like, well, you know,
1:44.7	it was just made up by a group of people and the church conspired in the council in Icia and the
1:50.7	300 AD to put this thing together to be a power source of the church.
1:55.2	That could not be further from the truth.
1:57.2	Or others will say, well, how can you trust that Bible that you have right there in your hand? Because it is just an interpretation of a translation of a translation,
2:05.8	and it's all been lost. That is so untrue. First and foremost, the early manuscript evidence
