SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Did The God Culture "Dishonestly Edit Videos"?

Transparency and Accuracy in Our Video Content

It has come to our attention that questions may arise regarding updates to a small number of videos (a few out of over 100 in a particular series). These updates were necessary to correct instances where source text blocks were initially copied without alteration. We typically provide corrections in our YouTube video descriptions.

In our ongoing commitment to transparency and accuracy, The God Culture proactively addressed these minor issues by deleting the affected videos and replacing them with corrected versions. These updated videos were clearly marked as such and began with a fresh view count, demonstrating our dedication to providing accurate information, even if it means restarting viewership. This level of transparency is not standard practice on YouTube, but above such benchmark.

Across our extensive library of over 700 YouTube videos, we prioritize accuracy. Our commitment to thorough research is further evidenced by the detailed bibliographies accompanying our publications (such as the 16-page bibliography in The Search for King Solomon's Treasure) and our groundbreaking 300-page Sourcebook, which offers unparalleled transparency into our research materials – a practice rarely matched in the publishing world.

The exceptional nature of this transparency is underscored by Dr. Michael Heiser's public statement that providing copies of all original sources is not customary, often due to copyright limitations. Our decision to offer our Sourcebook electronically and for free showcases our deep commitment to open research, exceeding the standards of many in the field.
