Hi there! A few viewers have pointed out that the cartoon illustrations of the apostles' faces in the video appear Caucasian, whereas the historical apostles most likely had darker skin tones and features more aligned with the modern Middle East. Firstly, please let me say that I totally acknowledge this point - it's a fair criticism - and sincerely thank those who brought it up. A little context: I didn't create the illustrations myself (I'm not that talented an artist, haha). I purchased an illustration pack of general historical figures from a really wonderful illustrator on Etsy and then tried to match faces from that pack to the traditional portrayals (particularly in paintings) of each respective apostle. What I didn't consider while editing was that those traditional paintings aren’t necessarily reflective of historical accuracy. In hindsight, it probably would have been wiser to stick with the simple "stick figures" I used elsewhere. Another reason I might lean toward those types of illustrations in the future is that I have moderate-to-severe colorblindness - the intensity varies across the color spectrum. That's not an excuse for any missteps I've already made, of course (after all, I could have asked someone else for help, or maybe even used an app like ChatGPT). But it does make the stick figure route seem even more advisable. Anyway, I realize that it's not possible to make a perfect video. And I also know that even bringing this up invites more annoyance... but I wanted to do so because my deepest ambition with these videos is to make the world feel more big-hearted, kind, and interesting. I appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive to improve *all* aspects of my work in service of that ambition. Thanks so much for watching, and I hope y'all have a wonderful day!
I wouldn't worry about it. They were not brown people. Josephus says the only way to tell a Greek from a Jew was the circumcision. The Song of Solomon describes Solomon's covered parts as white, his exposed parts as bronze and he had black hair. These are Mediterranean people's, they are not Arabs or Ethiopians.

They WERE brown people though, and certainly not 'white' (a pejorative term) by way of their geological desert region. They weren't pasty and European-like with bright blue eyes as some would cling on to. But otherwise good video. It was a tremendous effort.

You are correct regarding James the Greater being beheaded by Herod Agrippa in Jerusalem as it says as much in the Bible. However, tradition has his ministry in the Iberian peninsula where his body was taken after he was martyred. That's why the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela has his remains in an ossuary below the alter in the cathedral there. Santiago is Spanish for Saint James - Sant is Saint and Iago Spanish for James. Since his death, pilgrims have made there way to Santiago to pay homage to his life and ministry for more than 1,000 years in what's called the Camino de Santiago or Way of Saint James. I've had the pleasure of walking the Camino Frances route to Santiago two times and hope to do it again in the future.

Great video! It would be cool know more about Paul or Luke, they did not know Jesus in first hand (Paul in some way), but their life could be interesting too
@@shescraftea9107Paul became the Apostle to the Gentiles, chosen by Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19). Paul was fluent in the Greek language, culture, and literature (Septuagint - Greek Old Testament), which enabled him to relate to the Greeks (gentiles) on their level. Also in the book of Acts 1:12-26, we learn it was Matthias who was chosen to represent the 12 following Judas' betrayal. Matthias, had been with the group the whole time Jesus was alive on earth. They needed to choose someone who had been with them, witnessed the resurrection, and who was a true believer. Interestingly enough, there were two disciples considered for Judas' replacement, the other was Barsabbas.
You list the main 12 here. There was actually a much larger satellite group of disciples, other than the main body.I will not go into detail here(an exhaustive topic), but bear this out quickly, by pointing to Mark, and Luke. Especially Mark. Mark was on the periphery. Actually leaving Jesus for a period, and then returning. He was neither a minor figure though, nor someone discounted by Jesus. Quite the contrary.
Yep! There was the 3 Jesus was closest with (Peter, James, and John), then including the 3 there was the main 12, and then we see 70 in total. (I’m pretty sure that the 70 includes the main 12) We see this in Luke 10 when he sends them in pairs to evangelize.
Great video! I thought the part about James was interesting. I thought the James that wrote the epistle was Jesus' younger brother not cousin. But regardless great video!
Thank you! In my research, sources tended to say that “brother” was used as a broad term that could be taken literally or as meaning a cousin or other relative. Probably I should have phrased it as “Possibly a relative of Jesus,” but hopefully it didn’t take away from your enjoyment too much! Thanks so much for watching!
@@chonkycheeze It is believed amongst Protestants that the term "brother" is more literal than that: that James was the son (one of four, along with at least two sisters) of Mary and Joseph.
I heard somewhere that Matthew got skinned alive till dead, and that John got boiled in oil. Now i dont know what to believe? All I know for sure is that they got deaths they didnt deserve, but signed up for, and they met their end knowing they would have everlasting peace after. ❤
Hi there! I think you may have confused Matthew with Bartholomew/Nathaneal, who was indeed skinned alive. As for John, he is said to have been boiled in oil but emerged miraculously unharmed. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey there, great video! Could you provide sources on where you found this information? The book Foxe's book of Martyrs disagrees with some of these deaths.
The one I take issue with the most is John. He is the only apostle who is not dead because what he asked of Jesus was to remain on Earth until He comes again. In other words, John asked for immortality.
@AdderTude if true, where is he today? Has anyone made that claim? And even if they did, how could we even verify such claims? Disclosure: I'm not one to discredit the Bible, but nowhere in scripture does Jesus confirm to have given Him that desire.
Its important to note that most of the disciples disappeared into history, if they existed at all, after Jesus' death. The stories being shared here are based on church traditions that arose long after these men would've died. That doesn't mean it's absolutely not true; it just means we don't have good reason to believe it is true.
But if Judas wouldnt have betrayed Jesus, Jesus wouldnt have been crucified. And with Jesus not getting crucified he couldnt have died for our sins - and if he didnt die for our sins the holy bound wouldnt have been renewed.
If Jesus's name had not passed through Greek before getting into English, we would most likely be calling Him Joshua. The actual phonetics of the names don't matter. What matters is faith in the Savior of the world.
@@Calvin_Barnes and do you think heretics have that living faith? Also what is extremely important with the name Jacob is that in the same english translation people that are noth name Jacob are either translated Jacob or James. If you are to mess a name at least be consistent
@@Ciprian-IonutPanait "and do you think heretics have that living faith?" No? What's the point here? Do you think using the wrong name makes someone a heretic?
@@Calvin_Barnes no, but I think it may be a good indicator. Since you are willing to change someone''s name you are willing to change other things as well
I thank God our salvation is not dependent on works because man oh man, I do not know if I have the courage to be skinned alive. I hope I never have to find out
Hard agree, that’s why Islam is a sham religion, praying 5 times a day doesn’t mean anything to God there’s nothing we as humans can do to sway God to allow us corrupt humans into heaven aside from the sacrifice of himself in order to defeat sin
Being skinned alive is not a matter of work, is a matter of faith. What Paul teaches on works is exactly what is to be found when Jesus answers after being questioned for healing and exorcising on the Saturday.

John is not dead. There are no records of him dying and believing he did is merely pure speculation. John specifically asked Jesus for immortality and to remain on Earth until the Second Coming and that's what he was granted.
Hey @Chonky Cheeze. Great video, thanks for the info. I am currently writing an apologetic book and I would like to use this information. Do you have any sources for the deaths of the different apostles I could use?
Fact! None of the Apostles realized who Jesus was until they received the Holy Ghost in the upper room. Before then they still believed that he was going to take over and become a political leader!
"Judas returned the betrayal money and ended his own life" Acts also says he spent the money on land and then fell down and died with his organs falling out in his field. The bible is inconsistent about this stuff. Why choose one version over the other?
Question on james the lesser: 1) I’ve always heard that the author of the James epistle was the brother of Jesus and NOT one of the 12 original disciples, but rather a 3rd and different James from the two that were from the 12. Is this not correct?
Hi! Thanks so much for your question! I'm not a scholar or historian by any means, but from everything I've researched, it seems there are different interpretations regarding the identity of James. The confusion arises partly because there are multiple people named James in the New Testament, and different denominations and scholars have different views on their identities and roles. Like many aspects of early Christian history, this is an area where tradition, interpretation, and faith play significant roles. Thanks so much for watching - take care!
We only know how 4 of the apostles died. Paul, Peter, Steven and James. We don’t have reliable information about how the rest of them died. It’s unknown if James died of martyrdom or not. But the other 3 were.
It's a matter of debate. Personally I agree that I think the John who wrote the Gospel is not the same person as John the Apostle, but some say it is the same person
@@donhaddix3770 we have historical records of peter going to Rome, such as the writings of Peter's friend clement. The epistles also seem to hint at it
Probably because when people say “apostle” they mean one of the 12. Certainly Jesus had many more, like you said. The myrrh bearing women (which includes Mary Magdalene), as well as the other 70 apostles.
Mary Magdalene was a disciple but she was not an apostle. The fact that it took nearly 2000 years and a corrupt organization to recognize her as such proves she was never an apostle.
No, he was definitely a cousin or some kind of relative. He wouldn't have been Mary's kid either, since she is still regarded as a virgin even after death
@youngsterjoey9038 except eastern orthodox believe the same thing. How about that, the two main denominations who both have equal say in being the main church. And of course, protestants thinking otherwise
@@rohanrodrigues7115 Mary's perpetual virginity wasn't established until the 6th century. It wasn't a view held by any of the first five centuries of church fathers. Church tradition doesn't hold the spiritual power of scripture and nowhere in scripture does it state Mary never had other children, in fact, it mentions multiple times Christ had siblings.
Great video and excellent quality and editing. Definitely one of the more well thought out videos on youtube. It can be rare to come across videos like this. Have you heard of the belief that John The Beloved was granted the opportunity to remain on the Earth and proselyte until the second coming? 3 Nephi 28:6- 6 And he[Jesus] said unto them: Behold, I know your thoughts, and ye have desired the thing which John, my beloved, who was with me in my ministry, before that I was lifted up by the Jews, desired of me. 7 Therefore, more blessed are ye, for ye shall never taste of death; but ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the powers of heaven. 8 And ye shall never endure the pains of death; but when I shall come in my glory ye shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality to immortality; and then shall ye be blessed in the kingdom of my Father. This is at least one of the reasons why I believe that John survived the boiling vat of oil he was thrown into.
In john 21, it also says, 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man[John] do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
Scholars can't know with certainty how true the details are about the deaths of the apostles because many of the stories come from later decades and centuries. The Bible only includes one story of an apostle's martyrdom, that of James, son of Zebedee, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa in 44 A.D.. There is more evidence for the martyrdoms of other apostles, such as Peter, Paul, and James the brother of John, but less evidence for others, such as Matthias and James, son of Alphaeus
Even if they all died for their faith it does not mean that christanity is true, every faith has people who die for their faith and they all can't be true.
I disagree that mathius replaced Judas ...Paul was the God chosen replacement - knowledge is differently lagging I. The church I mean think about it the disciples gambled with a bottle for the replacement - really? I doubt you can find any real evidence of his ministry ...it's Paul that corrected even peter, James followers etc
I just wanted to point out that these were middle eastern people despite the constant white washing. Another note this is why some people reject Christianity saying it is a “white man’s religion” when it is not. In Jesus there is no Jew or Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised. The truth is for all for all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
All based upon 'tradition' and hearsay. Many of the accounts of the apostles' deaths are conflicting. I notice you left out Tertullian's fantastical claim that John was boiled in oil, but supposedly walked away unscathed.
I don’t see why that is so “fantastical” and hard to believe. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were tossed into a furnace alive and escaped unscathed and without even the smell of soot on their clothes.
@@jackuar373 Because we don’t just believe all these stories and legends about their gods and heroes from ancient times. We know people make stuff up. We also know that people don’t survive being boiled in oil.
I’m still figuring it out for myself but I have to say... know human nature... It’s hard to believe these goes would get sawed in half, hanged, stabbed, chopped, crucified and more over a lie... People don’t knowingly die for lies... that suggests in its purest form they believed it without doubt and that there’s truth to the faith.
Can't really verify that any of that actually happened, but if there were a Jesus who allowed people to follow him knowing that they would eventually be brutally murdered...that's cold-blooded Jesus!
@@bibleburner8426 I mean bruh there are literally dozens of verses explaining the point you made including the one that replied to you lmao. I don't believe in God in the slightest as beyond being evil his existence can be disproven a dozen different ways but your point doesn't really make sense when it's something directly addressed.
The apostles like John did not write John, or revelation. Mathew did not write Mathew. It is possible that associated persons of Paul wrote those but we know they didn't write those texts.
Hi there! I’m sorry if I misunderstood something, but the piece was listed on your DeviantArt as usable with attribution. I credited it in the video description exactly as the instructions on your DeviantArt said (I assume that’s how you found the video). If you’re unhappy with that, I’m more than willing to make a change. How would you like me to proceed?
Jesus and god both created satan and use him to perpetrate evil on mankind but blame him for their evil. I’ll explain: when Jesus went into the temple to pray, what did he do? He became angry that ppl were changing money in his father’s house. But instead of going over to them and peacefully asking them to leave. No, the buybull tells us he became angry and he grew patient. And while sitting and watching, he took chords of leather and formed them into a whip. The whip is a symbol of control and it’s a metaphor for a serpent, satan. He formed the whip, used it to display his anger, then dropped the whip and walked away. Giving all the credit for the evil he displayed but blaming it on satan. He formed satan in the thrown room of heaven, and god and Jesus both use him for the display of their anger. Jesus and god are the evil ones in this story, but are so lame, they formed another deity to blame the cause of their evil on. And satanic has been trying to warn us all along.
God IS good. He is the standard by which the world is measured. Although He is all-powerful, He cannot do evil--that would be an act of not-God, which is impossible for Him. Whether trolling or serious, your satanic inversion ploy is a rank blasphemy that only the blood of Christ can wash away. Blood which, by the way, is the ultimate refutation also of this particular demonic lie.
@@2411509igwt demonstrably false by the scripture. God is most definitely evil in every sense of the word but at the very least God being fallible in judgement is shown in scripture. He admits to being quick to temper and poor at managing it as well as going back on his own judgement numerous times such as him altering his own beliefs and deciding to no longer punish the on for the sins of the father. If God were really all powerful and all knowing such shifts of judgement and character shouldn't be possible in the first place. One of the largest examples is how he scoffs at Job for suggesting that God can't understand the suffering of people and then in the new testament it shows him doing that very thing by becoming a person to better understand the suffering of people and connect with them. His being the creator of life doesn't wash away his own evil nature despite how numerously he likes to state so and his standard is flimsy at best with how often it changes so morality can't even be based on the standard of God. Also worth noting is that if you question God wishing Satan to spread evil throughout mankind you are doubting God's all powerful nature by proposing he was powerless to stop Satan

You are correct regarding James the Greater being beheaded by Herod Agrippa in Jerusalem as it says as much in the Bible. However, tradition has his ministry in the Iberian peninsula where his body was taken after he was martyred. That's why the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela has his remains in an ossuary below the alter in the cathedral there. Santiago is Spanish for Saint James - Sant is Saint and Iago Spanish for James. Since his death, pilgrims have made there way to Santiago to pay homage to his life and ministry for more than 1,000 years in what's called the Camino de Santiago or Way of Saint James. I've had the pleasure of walking the Camino Frances route to Santiago two times and hope to do it again in the future.

Great video! It would be cool know more about Paul or Luke, they did not know Jesus in first hand (Paul in some way), but their life could be interesting too
Definitely! That could be a great idea for a follow-up video. 🤔
Thank you so much for watching!
@@chonkycheeze Yeah, I was wondering about Paul as well. I thought he was added as the 12th to replace Judas.
@@shescraftea9107Paul became the Apostle to the Gentiles, chosen by Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19).
Paul was fluent in the Greek language, culture, and literature (Septuagint - Greek Old Testament), which enabled him to relate to the Greeks (gentiles) on their level.
Also in the book of Acts 1:12-26, we learn it was Matthias who was chosen to represent the 12 following Judas' betrayal.
Matthias, had been with the group the whole time Jesus was alive on earth. They needed to choose someone who had been with them, witnessed the resurrection, and who was a true believer.
Interestingly enough, there were two disciples considered for Judas' replacement, the other was Barsabbas.
@@jamesalvey9683 Thank you! I did know about the road to Damascus.
John Mark should be added to that list as well.
You list the main 12 here. There was actually a much larger satellite group of disciples, other than the main body.I will not go into detail here(an exhaustive topic), but bear this out quickly, by pointing to Mark, and Luke. Especially Mark. Mark was on the periphery. Actually leaving Jesus for a period, and then returning. He was neither a minor figure though, nor someone discounted by Jesus. Quite the contrary.
"ERM..."
Yep! There was the 3 Jesus was closest with (Peter, James, and John), then including the 3 there was the main 12, and then we see 70 in total. (I’m pretty sure that the 70 includes the main 12) We see this in Luke 10 when he sends them in pairs to evangelize.
You left out Paul.
Jesus Himself chose him for his apostolic ministry.
You forgot the apostle Paul.
Maybe did those who personally knew and were around Jesus?
Paul only had a vision on the road to Damascus of him , Jesus.
Great video mate deserve a lot more views keep it up 👍
Thank you so much! Comments like this are so encouraging, and I really appreciate you watching!
Great Video!
Thank you so much - I really appreciate you watching!
I appreciate all the great works of art you used in your video.
Thank you - I had a lot of fun researching them!
Great video! I thought the part about James was interesting. I thought the James that wrote the epistle was Jesus' younger brother not cousin. But regardless great video!
Thank you! In my research, sources tended to say that “brother” was used as a broad term that could be taken literally or as meaning a cousin or other relative. Probably I should have phrased it as “Possibly a relative of Jesus,” but hopefully it didn’t take away from your enjoyment too much!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@chonkycheeze Nah not at all. I actually find that bit of information very interesting. Keep up the great work!
@@chonkycheeze It is believed amongst Protestants that the term "brother" is more literal than that: that James was the son (one of four, along with at least two sisters) of Mary and Joseph.
I heard somewhere that Matthew got skinned alive till dead, and that John got boiled in oil. Now i dont know what to believe? All I know for sure is that they got deaths they didnt deserve, but signed up for, and they met their end knowing they would have everlasting peace after. ❤
Hi there! I think you may have confused Matthew with Bartholomew/Nathaneal, who was indeed skinned alive. As for John, he is said to have been boiled in oil but emerged miraculously unharmed.
Thanks so much for watching!
Hey there, great video! Could you provide sources on where you found this information? The book Foxe's book of Martyrs disagrees with some of these deaths.
Thank you! Sure, I can try to dig up my research. What apostles specifically are you interested in?
The one I take issue with the most is John. He is the only apostle who is not dead because what he asked of Jesus was to remain on Earth until He comes again. In other words, John asked for immortality.
@@AdderTude it doesn't necessarily mean that Jesus granted his wish.
@AdderTude if true, where is he today? Has anyone made that claim? And even if they did, how could we even verify such claims?
Disclosure: I'm not one to discredit the Bible, but nowhere in scripture does Jesus confirm to have given Him that desire.
Only one I think missing is Stephen. He was stoned to death.
The book of James was written by Jesus’s brother James not James the less.
The book of James is the book of Jacob if you're reading it in any language that isn't English.

Paul?
This is about the ones who actually met Jesus I think
Paul was not one of the twelve, he was a convert more than a decade later
@@fluffysheapAnd is a fraud
Its important to note that most of the disciples disappeared into history, if they existed at all, after Jesus' death. The stories being shared here are based on church traditions that arose long after these men would've died. That doesn't mean it's absolutely not true; it just means we don't have good reason to believe it is true.
But if Judas wouldnt have betrayed Jesus, Jesus wouldnt have been crucified. And with Jesus not getting crucified he couldnt have died for our sins - and if he didnt die for our sins the holy bound wouldnt have been renewed.
Where’s Paul, the Apostle to the goyem/non-jew? Chosen by Jesus Himself?
Not one of the original 12 apostles
1.28 Only there is no apostles James , the name is Jacob or rather Iacob. We have to thank the french for butchering his name
If Jesus's name had not passed through Greek before getting into English, we would most likely be calling Him Joshua.
The actual phonetics of the names don't matter. What matters is faith in the Savior of the world.
@@Calvin_Barnes and do you think heretics have that living faith? Also what is extremely important with the name Jacob is that in the same english translation people that are noth name Jacob are either translated Jacob or James. If you are to mess a name at least be consistent
@@Ciprian-IonutPanait "and do you think heretics have that living faith?"
No? What's the point here? Do you think using the wrong name makes someone a heretic?
@@Calvin_Barnes no, but I think it may be a good indicator. Since you are willing to change someone''s name you are willing to change other things as well
@@Ciprian-IonutPanait _I_ didn't change anyone's name.

Thank you lord jesus Christ amen hallelujah ♥️♥️♥️🙏✝️🙏♥️♥️♥️
I thank God our salvation is not dependent on works because man oh man, I do not know if I have the courage to be skinned alive. I hope I never have to find out
Hard agree, that’s why Islam is a sham religion, praying 5 times a day doesn’t mean anything to God there’s nothing we as humans can do to sway God to allow us corrupt humans into heaven aside from the sacrifice of himself in order to defeat sin
Being skinned alive is not a matter of work, is a matter of faith. What Paul teaches on works is exactly what is to be found when Jesus answers after being questioned for healing and exorcising on the Saturday.

John is not dead. There are no records of him dying and believing he did is merely pure speculation. John specifically asked Jesus for immortality and to remain on Earth until the Second Coming and that's what he was granted.
cite those verses from bible

Just like everyone else in the world, I can’t honor a religion where none of the characters have my skin complexion.
Nobody asked you
Also John helped Jesus carry the cross in the Passion of the Christ based on the Gospel of Mark and was blind.
You suggest you know what happened but with Andrew all you do is talk about legends. Silliness.
Hey @Chonky Cheeze. Great video, thanks for the info. I am currently writing an apologetic book and I would like to use this information. Do you have any sources for the deaths of the different apostles I could use?
Check out Sean McDowell”s book on the death of the apostles. You will be surprised.
Interesting. I never knew that John was the only one not to die a martyr. Being Jesus’s favourite obviously had its benefits!
john is goated
Fact! None of the Apostles realized who Jesus was until they received the Holy Ghost in the upper room. Before then they still believed that he was going to take over and become a political leader!
Amen.
"Judas returned the betrayal money and ended his own life"
Acts also says he spent the money on land and then fell down and died with his organs falling out in his field. The bible is inconsistent about this stuff. Why choose one version over the other?
the fact he died of his actions
James the lesser was speared not stoned
Question on james the lesser: 1) I’ve always heard that the author of the James epistle was the brother of Jesus and NOT one of the 12 original disciples, but rather a 3rd and different James from the two that were from the 12. Is this not correct?
Hi! Thanks so much for your question! I'm not a scholar or historian by any means, but from everything I've researched, it seems there are different interpretations regarding the identity of James.
The confusion arises partly because there are multiple people named James in the New Testament, and different denominations and scholars have different views on their identities and roles. Like many aspects of early Christian history, this is an area where tradition, interpretation, and faith play significant roles.
Thanks so much for watching - take care!
John the Baptist was beheaded
The Lord Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
Have you read the scriptures that support slayvery yet?
Thought Thomas was stoned to death
We only know how 4 of the apostles died. Paul, Peter, Steven and James. We don’t have reliable information about how the rest of them died. It’s unknown if James died of martyrdom or not. But the other 3 were.
Amen Hallelujah ❤😊
Was it not John the Elder who wrote Revelations not John the Apostle.
It's a matter of debate. Personally I agree that I think the John who wrote the Gospel is not the same person as John the Apostle, but some say it is the same person
So they had English names before English was invented 😂

I am wondering why you did not mention Mary Magdalene? She was THE Apostle to the Apostles. Recognised by the Catholic Church in 2015 as such.
Dude.... she was a woman...so you truth that the church would accept her....read almost Everything by Paul
Probably because when people say “apostle” they mean one of the 12. Certainly Jesus had many more, like you said. The myrrh bearing women (which includes Mary Magdalene), as well as the other 70 apostles.
Mary Magdalene was a disciple but she was not an apostle.
The fact that it took nearly 2000 years and a corrupt organization to recognize her as such proves she was never an apostle.
John is still alive
fun fact: James the Lesser was Christ's brother, not "possibly his cousin."
No, he was definitely a cousin or some kind of relative. He wouldn't have been Mary's kid either, since she is still regarded as a virgin even after death
@@rohanrodrigues7115 Mary's perpetual virginity is a Catholic tradition, not a historical view held by the church.
@youngsterjoey9038 except eastern orthodox believe the same thing. How about that, the two main denominations who both have equal say in being the main church. And of course, protestants thinking otherwise
@@rohanrodrigues7115 Mary's perpetual virginity wasn't established until the 6th century. It wasn't a view held by any of the first five centuries of church fathers. Church tradition doesn't hold the spiritual power of scripture and nowhere in scripture does it state Mary never had other children, in fact, it mentions multiple times Christ had siblings.
@@rohanrodrigues7115you can be in massive majority and still be wrong.
Great video and excellent quality and editing. Definitely one of the more well thought out videos on youtube. It can be rare to come across videos like this.
Have you heard of the belief that John The Beloved was granted the opportunity to remain on the Earth and proselyte until the second coming?
3 Nephi 28:6-
6 And he[Jesus] said unto them: Behold, I know your thoughts, and ye have desired the thing which John, my beloved, who was with me in my ministry, before that I was lifted up by the Jews, desired of me.
7 Therefore, more blessed are ye, for ye shall never taste of death; but ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the powers of heaven.
8 And ye shall never endure the pains of death; but when I shall come in my glory ye shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality to immortality; and then shall ye be blessed in the kingdom of my Father.
This is at least one of the reasons why I believe that John survived the boiling vat of oil he was thrown into.
In john 21, it also says,
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man[John] do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
Found the info about the bible verses in John from wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle
Scholars can't know with certainty how true the details are about the deaths of the apostles because many of the stories come from later decades and centuries. The Bible only includes one story of an apostle's martyrdom, that of James, son of Zebedee, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa in 44 A.D.. There is more evidence for the martyrdoms of other apostles, such as Peter, Paul, and James the brother of John, but less evidence for others, such as Matthias and James, son of Alphaeus
I thought only Thomas reached India
They were duped by a charismatic man that suffered from delusions of grandeur.
You. Forgot Paul who was chosen by God.
Poor doubting St. Thomas, his animated head is bald.
Even if they all died for their faith it does not mean that christanity is true, every faith has people who die for their faith and they all can't be true.
I disagree that mathius replaced Judas ...Paul was the God chosen replacement - knowledge is differently lagging I. The church
I mean think about it the disciples gambled with a bottle for the replacement - really? I doubt you can find any real evidence of his ministry ...it's Paul that corrected even peter, James followers etc
Paul the man of the lie.
Eastern Orthodoxy Is The One Truth☦️💙
Wrong
I just wanted to point out that these were middle eastern people despite the constant white washing. Another note this is why some people reject Christianity saying it is a “white man’s religion” when it is not. In Jesus there is no Jew or Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised. The truth is for all for all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
All based upon 'tradition' and hearsay. Many of the accounts of the apostles' deaths are conflicting. I notice you left out Tertullian's fantastical claim that John was boiled in oil, but supposedly walked away unscathed.
I don’t see why that is so “fantastical” and hard to believe. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were tossed into a furnace alive and escaped unscathed and without even the smell of soot on their clothes.
@@jackuar373 Because we don’t just believe all these stories and legends about their gods and heroes from ancient times. We know people make stuff up. We also know that people don’t survive being boiled in oil.
I’m still figuring it out for myself but I have to say... know human nature...
It’s hard to believe these goes would get sawed in half, hanged, stabbed, chopped, crucified and more over a lie...
People don’t knowingly die for lies... that suggests in its purest form they believed it without doubt and that there’s truth to the faith.
Amen.
Can't really verify that any of that actually happened, but if there were a Jesus who allowed people to follow him knowing that they would eventually be brutally murdered...that's cold-blooded Jesus!

Hi there!
I’m sorry if I misunderstood something, but the piece was listed on your DeviantArt as usable with attribution. I credited it in the video description exactly as the instructions on your DeviantArt said (I assume that’s how you found the video).
If you’re unhappy with that, I’m more than willing to make a change. How would you like me to proceed?
Jesus and god both created satan and use him to perpetrate evil on mankind but blame him for their evil.
I’ll explain: when Jesus went into the temple to pray, what did he do? He became angry that ppl were changing money in his father’s house. But instead of going over to them and peacefully asking them to leave. No, the buybull tells us he became angry and he grew patient. And while sitting and watching, he took chords of leather and formed them into a whip. The whip is a symbol of control and it’s a metaphor for a serpent, satan. He formed the whip, used it to display his anger, then dropped the whip and walked away. Giving all the credit for the evil he displayed but blaming it on satan. He formed satan in the thrown room of heaven, and god and Jesus both use him for the display of their anger.
Jesus and god are the evil ones in this story, but are so lame, they formed another deity to blame the cause of their evil on. And satanic has been trying to warn us all along.
God IS good. He is the standard by which the world is measured. Although He is all-powerful, He cannot do evil--that would be an act of not-God, which is impossible for Him. Whether trolling or serious, your satanic inversion ploy is a rank blasphemy that only the blood of Christ can wash away. Blood which, by the way, is the ultimate refutation also of this particular demonic lie.
@@2411509igwt demonstrably false by the scripture. God is most definitely evil in every sense of the word but at the very least God being fallible in judgement is shown in scripture. He admits to being quick to temper and poor at managing it as well as going back on his own judgement numerous times such as him altering his own beliefs and deciding to no longer punish the on for the sins of the father. If God were really all powerful and all knowing such shifts of judgement and character shouldn't be possible in the first place. One of the largest examples is how he scoffs at Job for suggesting that God can't understand the suffering of people and then in the new testament it shows him doing that very thing by becoming a person to better understand the suffering of people and connect with them. His being the creator of life doesn't wash away his own evil nature despite how numerously he likes to state so and his standard is flimsy at best with how often it changes so morality can't even be based on the standard of God. Also worth noting is that if you question God wishing Satan to spread evil throughout mankind you are doubting God's all powerful nature by proposing he was powerless to stop Satan
