Just like he said, " there are errors but the Errors in the Bible exist in the mind of the reader but you need a teacher to explain them to you that those errors are inconsequential" because there are no errors in the core message of the Bible which is message about the SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS
Could it also be the that the original book has been heavily paraphrased? The words of God can never be mixed with that of men... it will definitely contradict. And that is what I think you do not understand.
We have Hebrew and Greek manuscripts before Quran. Now to avoid all this ,test the content if the information on 4 persons mentioned in Quran and what gospels say Ie Zechariah John Mary Jesus See how much Quran information almost 95% has same information and the 5 percent is from other sources line infancy gospel of Thomas. The gospels have more but I can lust fir you what Quran says on above and show you it's in gospels.tbat should show you they were transmitted in accuracy despite errors and narratives which contrafict
@@MakaiJohnkenneth Well... the point is that perfection belongs to God alone. This is why there is no contradiction in the Qur'an because is the word of God and His words alone.
I love every response given to each question. Pharisees and scribes often came to Jesus with questions, to test him or set him up, but He never gave a yes/no answer. Jesus often gave them references, parables, stories or reply them with another question and let them do the thinking for themselves.
@@awhenpeter3669 Very true, the challenge with today's generation is that people think you must prove everything for them to believe they think they must understand it all before they put their faith in CHRIST, yet no where in the whole Bible does GOD ASK US TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL!!! HE iNSTEAD ASKS US TO believe in his SON. PERIOD
I just love this man '' Dr ABEL DAMINA '' The way he expounds his points simply indicates that he has been to a real Bible College which is not LIBERAL in nature, sometimes he seems to be like an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist AND other times like a Pentecostal
@@jidefilmwork6346 He’s a theologian and not a historian. You can’t be seriously doing theology and pretend to be doing history. They are not completely compatible. No one can mix water with oil. History is what happened in the past and when historians use the word history, they are using it to try and establish what happened in the past, with empirical and archaeological evidences. What historians tend to say also is that you can’t use religious arguments to prove historical arguments. With religion, all you have is belief arguments and faith arguments. Just like you can’t use mathematical arguments to prove or argue for philosophy. They are different realms of discourse. Theology and history are different realms of discourse. If you pretend you are doing history and in fact you are doing theology makes you disingenuous. And you doing theology by trying to convince people with big grammars because they don’t know much about the subject also makes you a dishonest individual. To claim something is historical requires a critical evaluation of all the sources of information presented to us so we can be able to determine or establish the level of probability of what being said to be true or false. Anyone who totally believes in Abel doesn’t understand how history and theology work.
The contradictions pointed are majorly in figures not in the incident and message content, like Dr Abel affirmed when people as humans writes as secondary authors in different ages or generation on the same thing as humans there is likely to be contradictions but the content of their messages is what matters, even for me iam not sure of my exact birthday because i have two different dates from different sources but the bottom line is that i was born in that year in the course of our narration on stories there may likely be contradictions that is what makes us human. The BIBLE is the word of GOD and inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by mortar men like us. The central message of the Bible is the Redemption plan of God for mankind which was anchored on JESUS CHRIST our Lord and saviour. Matthew 1:21
Great content... Kindly bring him again and ask what his opinion is on the books that were taken from the bible like the book of Enoch... And is it okay to read them?
He has already said the books that didn't pass the test were taken out Passing the test simply means, any book that didn't have the message of salvation which Christ were taken out. All the 66 books in the bible ties up together which is the message of the scriptures So the book of Enoch didn't have the message of salvation. Period
I know he will give you the right answers, but part of the answer is that there was a criteria for selection prior to inclusion into the Canon, the books had to be scrutinised and pass a test, there were 4 criteria to be followed , a good Bible College student should be able to explain this to you
greetings to all beloved in the Lord. I am not Togolese but I am a man of God. When he says there are errors, he is right. These are translation errors in reality. The fact of translating one language into another has caused certain words or expressions to change the nature of the sentence, resulting in an erroneous interpretation. In John 15:2 it is written . Already the term removed or subtracted causes confusion since it implies cutting. Now the Greek word used is "Airo" which means to raise or lift from the ground.... Just to say that any branch which is attached to the vine but which has fallen or is on the ground will be lifted... it is the idea of mercy and grace that is conveyed there. So every child of God who, despite being in Christ and falls, the Lord comes to his aid... But this verse is used by preachers to speak of hell... What can we say about verse 6 of the same chapter. I didn't come to teach but let's know there is a translation problem. There are plenty of verses but I'll leave it there. this is also why some preachers check the Greek terms most often... Thank you and let us be blessed
@@paulalexander115 no one has monopoly of wisdom. My point is that word of God can't be confined to a text called Bible. God and the knowledge of God is a mystery beyond the Bible. Mystery revealed to chosen few. Jesus .

GOD IS THE SAVIOR.... even the Bible records this..... but he chose by his infinite wisdom to allow man to participate in that "SALVATION" only through his son Jesus..... JESUS IS THE CHRIST AND OUR LORD...... And that takes nothing away from his FATHER AND HIS GOD YHWH... To which he also gives all the glory..... No one comes to the Father except through the son.... You're falling for the same deception as the pharisees of old.... You can't accept THE FATHER or say you love him without accepting and loving and honoring THE SON It's impossible
Not really 40 authors "Who never met each other".... Peter knew John, Matthew and James(Jesus' brother). Yes spanning over 1500 years but some authors met each other that's why they were eye witnesses to our Lord Jesus! In all the inerrancy of the Bible is fact! Great video... Thank you KaaTruth
None of the authors ever mentioned meeting each other. None ever mentioned to have met Jesus. The stories were written in the third person singular. Finally, all the books were written anonymously. This is a historical fact and it’s well known in all divinity schools and in all academia. Stop putting up spurious statements that are unhistorical and untrue.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God John 1:1&14 Rev 19:12$13.....the reasons there are so many calculation errors in the Bible, men are distorted in thinking...Holy Spirit doesn't make mistakes..... through out the teaching of Christ Jesus in his days, he never said something and later say he didn't say so, he's so accurate in His teaching but human error happened to the Bible so it paved the way to the errors people are pointing today.
He didn’t even acknowledge there are errors. I don’t know why the interviewer concluded that. He only agreed that there are seemingly contradictions but when properly explained, they are not contradictions. And he gave examples of one. I know you are a member but I think you didn’t get his point.
Jews condemn Christianity, Christians condemn Islam, Islam condems Christianity. Everyone disagrees with each other and claim they have the truth. Dr Damina will deffend and explain away critical questions just as a Sheikh will do for the Quaran.
Only Christ Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life...and he's not a Christian or a religious man, he came to show us the way to the Father..anyone can discover that irrespective of your religion..... Christ consciousness leads to the Father God.... religion helps no one to see God or to return to God, only Christ Jesus did.
Una just won dey fight the truth this man pass everybody make una to come out and defend ur religion cos this last question the presenter ask him was wat is in every Christian mind o we might be hiding it but this my allows men to know that therr is no error in Bible if it's another pastor we won't see the fact this there is no error

@@Mr_Ogheneyovie Where is the evidence that Jesus said this? Let’s throw in some historical curveballs and methods of questioning any source of information or data. Did Jesus really said these things? If Jesus said this truly in John, was the writer following Jesus around taking notes 🗒️? For how long did the writer follow Jesus around with notepads 🗒️ collecting all the sayings of Jesus. Do we have these words in the other gospels? What we know is that the writer heard stories about Jesus and tried writing them down. What we do know is that all the 12 disciples were illiterates. All we have historically is that none of the writers of the gospels ever met Jesus. None of them ever witnessed his ministry. None of the writers ever mentioned their names nor said anything regarding seeing Jesus. Their descriptions of events were written in the third person. As far as we know, Jesus’ apostles never wrote any books, which is not surprising if they were illiterate fishermen from Galilee. To some extent the Acts of the Apostles can be looked at as a source of reliable record, it says (Acts 4:13) that both Peter and John were “unlearned” (ie illiterate). Besides many of the events recorded in the Acts of the Apostle contradicted many events Paul wrote in some of his letters. What we also have historically is that the Church Fathers of the second century attributed two of the four gospels to the apostles Matthew and John, which required them not only to be literate, but because they were very quite fluent in writing Koine Greek, which would not be the language the real apostles might even have spoken in their ordinary lives. The followers of Jesus were Aramaic speaking Jews from the Rural area of Galilee. The apostle Peter and how important he was in the Jesus story did not write any of the gospels or been one of New Testament authors, but what we have is that two epistles were written pseudepigraphically in his name. For some reason, a book was written in the name of Jude, although it carelessly indicates that it was written long after the time of the apostles. Other books written in the names of various disciples have been rejected as spurious.
What is this "40 authors who never met each other" slogan. Matthew Mark, Luke and John never met each other? Or they didn't author the books. How about Moses and Joshua. And Soo on
Sir you mentioned 4. What percentage of 40 is 4? =10% They never met as a team , never met or consult each other writing their portion. Hope that helps
@@bishopisaaccrown7596 Your logic is difficult for me to understand. Are you saying that even if only 4 authors knew themselves, it doesn't defeat his mantra? The gospels according to Mat Mk Lk and John are crucial to the new testament. Therefore if anybody creates the impression that a body of work is authentic because the authors never knew each other, that is nonsensical. Whether they knew each other or not is irrelevant. Otherwise the new testament cannot not pass that test.
@LaughRep You tell how it does.Talking logic is veering into.intelectusl terrain, and I don't see how four authors knowing themselves, today writing in synergy.,saying the same things with authors or better still writers who wrote 1500.years wouldn't be phenomenal. Micah prophesy was 700 years before Jesus was born, mentioned little Bethlehem not known, and it came.to pass exactly.
The sad truth is that NO ONE can ever know the truth about God ( who God is, where He is, His real nature etc). Everything we think we know about God, that we read in the bible, is just the opinions of men about God. NO ONE CAN EVER UNDERSTAND GOD. IT IS A MYSTERY. EVERYONE JUST CLAIMS TO KNOW WHO GOD IS.
You are right about that. indeed no one can know God... but you can know God in Christ, God is in Christ and Christ is in God, both God and Christ are one (2Cor.5:19; Jn.10:30 )... the truth of God is disclosed and known through Christ (Jn.14:6). Jesus is the Truth of God. i hope this help your understanding brother. Like Dr. Damina said, we need teachers to explain the Bible to us.
In the case of Moses and Samuel and Joshua, some of them were not able to write ✍️ as such there were young people writing their visions while they tell them. So even if the recipient of the visions dies those or someone whose the visions were told can complete the writing. There are no errors in the Bible. Nothing like it has been established that there are errors in the Bible. It's your personal opinion or take
@householdoffaithtv7185 Thank you for sharing your belief that the Bible is without error. I appreciate your perspective and would like to respectfully explain why many scholars and theologians acknowledge that the Bible contains various types of errors and inconsistencies. These do not necessarily undermine its spiritual significance but reflect its human authorship, historical transmission, and interpretation over centuries. 1. Historical errors: Some events in the Bible conflict with archaeological or historical evidence. Examples: The Census at Jesus’ Birth (Luke 2:1-2): Luke claims a census occurred under Quirinius while Herod was king, but historical records show Quirinius governed Syria years after Herod’s death. Daniel and Belshazzar (Daniel 5): Belshazzar is described as king of Babylon, but historical evidence shows he was a crown prince under Nabonidus. 2. Scientific Errors: Descriptions in the Bible sometimes conflict with modern scientific understanding. Examples: Genesis 1: The sequence of creation (e.g., light before the sun) contradicts astrophysics. This is because the sun gives us light. The sun gives the moon it's light as well. Leviticus 11:6: Hares (Rabbits) are described as chewing cud, which they do not biologically. Firmament (Genesis 1:6-8): The Bible describes a solid dome ("firmament") separating waters above and below, which is inconsistent with modern cosmology. 3. Contradictions: Certain passages appear to conflict with each other. Examples: Abiathar vs. Ahimelek (Mark 2:26 vs. 1 Samuel 21:1-6): Mark 2:26: Jesus says David ate consecrated bread “in the days of Abiathar the high priest.” 1 Samuel 21:1-6: The priest at the time was Ahimelek, not Abiathar. Would Jesus make this kind of mistake? You still don't think this is an error? Judas’ Death: Matthew 27:5: Judas hangs himself. Acts 1:18: Judas falls headlong, and his body bursts open. Who Purchased the Field: Matthew 27:6-7: The chief priests use Judas’ silver to buy the "Field of Blood." Acts 1:18: Judas is described as buying the field himself. 4. Unfulfilled or Confusing Prophecies: Some prophecies in the Bible appear unfulfilled or open to interpretation. Examples: The Prophecy About Tyre (Ezekiel 26:7-14): Ezekiel predicts Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Tyre, but historical evidence shows Tyre was not destroyed by him. Jesus’ Prediction of the End (Matthew 24:34, Mark 9:1): Mark 9:1: “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.” 5. Numerical Errors: Discrepancies in numbers across accounts. Examples: The Census: 2 Samuel 24:9: Reports 800,000 men in Israel and 500,000 in Judah. 1 Chronicles 21:5: Reports 1,100,000 men in Israel and 470,000 in Judah. Solomon’s Stalls: 1 Kings 4:26: Solomon is said to have 40,000 stalls of horses. 2 Chronicles 9:25: Solomon is said to have 4,000 stalls. 6. Ethical Issues: The Bible sometimes reflects cultural norms that conflict with modern values. Examples: Slavery: Leviticus 25:44-46: Permits owning slaves from other nations. Other verses also allow owning of slaves from within the nation of Israel. Galatians 3:28 Emphasizes equality in Christ, stating, “There is neither slave nor free.” Luke 17:7-10: Jesus himself uses an example of a servant (slave) in a parable but does not condemn the institution of slavery. So, is this not an error that God would approve of slavery? Did he create some people lower to/than the others? You don't think this is an opinion of man that God endorses slavery? 7. Translation Issues: Errors arising from translation choices or differences in manuscripts. Example: Isaiah 7:14: The Hebrew word "almah" (young woman) is translated as "virgin" in the Septuagint, influencing Christian theology. These examples highlight the complexities of interpreting the Bible. Recognizing errors or inconsistencies invites us to approach it with both faith and reason, understanding its human context. I hope this helps clarify my perspective.
@householdoffaithtv7185 Read 1 John 5:7-8 KJV and NLT versions and you will realize you don't have to believe everything you read in the bible as some of the version of the Bible have been corrupted. King James corrupted the verses I dropped here in order to back up his claim that the Bible talks about the doctrine of Trinity. Do you know of the other multiple bible verses that have been corrupted over the last 3000 years? That's why the earliest manuscripts help. The earliest manuscripts revealed the atrocities committed by King James in the KJV version.
He contradict himself. Nobody sit down to make bible sound right, but a few seconds later, he talked about canonisation of the Bible. You can play around with words, the wise already see his ingenuity. Even Christians reputation scholars do not shy away from the fact that there are errors in the Bible.
The message of the bible is authentic and infallible however, It has not claimed accuracy with every single text in it. For instance there is a confirmation that Jesus appeared to them from both authors but the details varied. Until we find out that the bible is claiming infallibility with text, we will acquit it on trial in the court of law on the base of singularity of one message. Thank you
Abel is wrong on this. You can write accurately before you die and it will happen exactly after you. The bible is not contradictory it is only misunderstood in many ways by Bro. Abel
According to him Bible is just an advanced story book. And nothing can make a lie to become true. Imagine the span of 1500years from the time of Jesus. That's why it full of contradictions, heresy. Deviated from the teachings of Jesus. Come to Islam and you have peace. We believe in Jesus but one of our noble prophets.
Before even before the world began, God promise was eternal life Read Titus 1:2 Titus 1:2 (KJV) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
He is not even answering the questions. The interview seems to be set up by Dr Abel. So many questions he wasn’t answering. You can’t explain errors out the way he did. I am also an author. If there is an error in my book, I can’t blame it on the mind of the reader. A verse of the 42 years and another said 22 years and now you want to give spiritual meaning to that? If the book is all correct, it really doesn’t need anyone to explain it. What is the measuring rod to determine what book made it into the bible? The people that determined the measuring rod were not even believers in Christ. They were pagans who were trying to form a one religion to rule their empire and conquered territories with. Therefore they hid what was going to liberate humanity and doctored the whole document. How you see the bible all point to the man Jesus was all cooked up, it wasn’t a divine arrangement. Dr Abel shouldn’t make that sound like it’s a spiritual or divine thing. Saying “40 authors who never met each other “. The council of Nacia who cooked up the canonised bible was put together by the then emperor of Rome who had an agenda that had nothing to do with God. That can be seen in the way the Roman Catholic run their show. It’s all about religion and has nothing to do with God. Religion as we know it is nothing but a means of control and accusations of wealth. King James seeing how powerful the Roman Empire had become using the instruments of religion and the bible further edited the bible to also suit his own agenda. With all due respect, Dr Abel Damina didn’t do justice to those questions asked. The interviewer also couldn’t take it further by demanding answers. It all looked like arrangee stuff. You heard the interviewer say he personally believed in the authenticity of the bible. That surely gave him away and let me know it is arranged. It is not only Christian that clams that they have peace with God , all religions claim the same. Even Islam. So Christian can’t lay claim to peace with God. I come in peace.🙏
If you notice, everything Christian has a pagan undertone. Christmas, Easters, Sunday etc. The truth of it is that Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. It is purely a religion created by the Romans to create dominate the rest of the people and accumulate wealth. That is you see that the Vatican 🇻🇦 is single-handedly the richest organisation in the world. The same system is replicated in the Christian church today. The pastor is rich and 80% of the church is put yet they are the ones that contributed to make the pastor rich. That is evil any which way you look at it. It inhumane and that is what Christianity is about from it’s foundation. It is a system and it is unfortunate that even the practitioners of the faith are not aware that they are in a system created to subjugate the rest of the people. Questions need to be asked but it is unfortunate that the moment anyone begins to ask questions Christian and the leaders of the religions are uncomfortable. Christianity thrives on the ignorance of the people. It is the system of religion,that’s how religion works. It needs you to just accept its tenates, no questions asked. They words like believe, faith destiny to dominate the place of reasoning. It is canality to use your mind (brain). So what is your God given mind for? I personally love Dr Abel Damina but the truth be told , he doesn’t have answers to so many things as far as Christianity is concerned. As long as your only source of knowledge is a book that was written by people that have evil agenda, that book cannot be trusted and therefore can ultimately not represent the voice of God to humanity. There are good stuff in the bible don’t get me wrong but the bible is not the express word of God to man. The bible is documented stories and history of people that lived on this planet. The story overtime had been altered, things were changed, added and removed from it. I come in peace 🙏
That's your opinion and thoughts. Everybody has his or her own view. Whether you believe in the authenticity of the Bible or not, that does not change anything because we are talking about spirituality in relation to GOD. It is not solely in your hands. You have your will, your decision and a choice to make but the consequences of your decision does not solely rest in your hands. Bless you !
You're gonna be a bad author and your books will be very watered cuz u are a bad listener and u can't decode very well and you have the spirit of heavy in u.
Errors that are blatant now lies in the eyes of the reader? 😂😂😂 Is that supposed to be a joke? So now it’s the reader's perspective that defines the error? Wow, what an explanation. And then he claimed the authors didn’t see each other. Let’s assume some didn’t, but didn’t they read each other's work? Have you thought of that? I mean, some scriptures reference other scriptures, indicating they were aware of other passages. Some authors were very knowledgeable about the Torah, which allowed them to reference it in their writings. The assertion that they didn't see each other, and therefore it must be divinely inspired, is a weak argument. Smart way to evade the question.
When historians use the word history, they don’t assume or presuppose. When historians want to establish what happened in the past, all they have to do is to employ historical analysis to critically evaluate all the sources of information available to them. All the books we have written as recorded Jewish scriptures were written centuries apart. They were written by people who never knew nor met each other. The books were written at different places within the empire and at different times. The books were also written by the authors for their own specific audiences and also for specific reasons. Most of these books have gone through multiple editing and through many theological changes. For example, the book of Isaiah as people are aware of is just one book. But it’s now well known in all academia and divinity schools that the book was written by three different authors and were written many centuries apart. In other words, history is not about making assumptions. History is what happened in the past and it’s about what we can establish that happened in the past. To be able to establish what happened in the past, we have to critically examine all the sources of information available to us to determine what really happened. We can’t use religious or theological arguments to prove historical arguments. They are two different realms of discourse.
None bro. That presenter never knew Quran. I’m a student of Christian Prince ( The Arabian Prophet) on UA-cam. I’m here to confirm what you said to be true. Shalom to you.
What he meant is that from old testament writer down to new testament writer they never meet each other, you must understand that some of the old testament writers never met each other till the time of the new testament writers
The Hebrew scriptures were written by people who never met each other and the books were written centuries apart. The books were written for different audiences for different purposes and were not written to be canonical in nature. The creation of this new weird religion brought about the creation and choosing of books.
Name one lie Mr abdool... bearing in mind that's there's different versions of the Quran, different ahrufs, different qaarats...and shall I mention the different scientific blunders like sperm being produced between the backbone and the ribs and the sun settles in a pool of mud....
Can I just say that the Bible said something is a claim and not the evidence for it being true. Giving personal or anecdotal evidence or testimony and experience is some kind of platitude to make you feel good.
Anyone can get a copy of how we came about the New Testament. Yale University has some pretty good lectures on the history and creation of Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The New Testament lectures was made by professor Dale Martin He’s a Yale University professor who taught in their divinity department and he’s one of the best in the world. There are loads of New Testament books in PDFs online. Any😢can grab a copy and do their own research and compare all the garbage this man has been saying. Anyone can do their own homework and stop listening to these people.
I also realised how he combined the word Christology “The understanding of Christ” with Soteriology “The beliefs and doctrines regarding how to gain salvation”. Abel is a theologian trying to preach the Bible being true and also trying to lecture or spoon feed us with the history of the Christian church. Most of what he’s been saying are just conjectures and nonsense. Ha ha 😂 😂
This is the result of ignorance claiming to know too much of what he or she lacks the mental capacity to comprehend. Sounds so funny and naive. All the same, that's your opinion and thoughts. Everybody has his or her own view. Whether you believe in the authenticity of the Bible or not, that does not change anything because we are talking about spirituality in relation to GOD. It is not solely in your hands. You have your will, your decision and a choice to make but the consequences of your decision does not solely rest in your hands. You may not have made sense concerning what Dr Abel Damina said, without an iota of doubts, many others did and will do. That will be helpful to them. Bless you !
This man talks loads of nonsense. Please stop listening to this nonsense this man is saying. He uses big English words to make him believable. The first person we know in history that chose the books we have in the New Testament is Athanasius The Bishop of Alexandria in Egypt. Anyone can look up the name and compare it to this man’s claims. Also, the first Christian theologian to first create a canon of the Christian bible is French church father Marcion of Synope. He had 1 of the gospel that we now have as Luke’s and 10 letters of Paul. Anyone can look up the history of this man and his teachings plus his theology and the differences he taught his followers between the god of the Hebrew Bible and the god of Jesus. Jesus if existed didn’t leave any writing for his followers. Besides, none of the writers of the gospels ever claimed to have met Jesus nor were eyewitnesses. All we have are just church traditions and stories. That’s why you will have it written on the pages of the gospels like for example “the gospel according to so and so”. The writers didn’t give their names nor signed the stories. The names given to the gospels were pinned on the books by the early church fathers to make followers believe in the stories and to help make the books authoritative. Besides, when you do a synopsis analysis of the 4 gospels, you will realise that some of the writers copied from each other words for words with theological changes in different places. And that’s why there are loads of contradictions and discrepancies in the stories. All we have are traditions that were left behind by the dominant Christian group who later chose the 66 books that became the Christian bible. Many other books were burnt and destroyed by the dominant group that we now know as the Orthodox. Orthodox means we have the right belief and Heresy means wrong beliefs. Those who had the power and money to influence the decision of the empire later became the Orthodox group and for example the Roman Catholic Church.

The gospels have more but I can lust fir you what Quran says on above and show you it's in gospels.tbat should show you they were transmitted in accuracy despite errors and narratives which contrafict
@@MakaiJohnkenneth Well... the point is that perfection belongs to God alone. This is why there is no contradiction in the Qur'an because is the word of God and His words alone.
I love every response given to each question. Pharisees and scribes often came to Jesus with questions, to test him or set him up, but He never gave a yes/no answer. Jesus often gave them references, parables, stories or reply them with another question and let them do the thinking for themselves.
The questions they asked were open ended question. Answering with yes or no will have been useless. What is your point again
I'm😂 telling you my dear. This is sound. Let them think about it themselves. Jesus is in Dr. Damina
@@awhenpeter3669 Very true, the challenge with today's generation is that people think you must prove everything for them to believe they think they must understand it all before they put their faith in CHRIST, yet no where in the whole Bible does GOD ASK US TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL!!! HE iNSTEAD ASKS US TO believe in his SON. PERIOD
Thank you Dr. Abel Damina. You're indeed a Bible scholar.
Respect to Dr Damina
This man knows what he is talking about, respect to him 😊😊

Im amazed by the collection of books on the shelf. Knowledge and wisdom comes with a price
I just love this man '' Dr ABEL DAMINA '' The way he expounds his points simply indicates that he has been to a real Bible College which is not LIBERAL in nature, sometimes he seems to be like an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist AND other times like a Pentecostal

He’s a theologian and not a historian.
You can’t be seriously doing theology and pretend to be doing history. They are not completely compatible. No one can mix water with oil.
History is what happened in the past and when historians use the word history, they are using it to try and establish what happened in the past, with empirical and archaeological evidences.
What historians tend to say also is that you can’t use religious arguments to prove historical arguments. With religion, all you have is belief arguments and faith arguments.
Just like you can’t use mathematical arguments to prove or argue for philosophy. They are different realms of discourse. Theology and history are different realms of discourse.
If you pretend you are doing history and in fact you are doing theology makes you disingenuous.
And you doing theology by trying to convince people with big grammars because they don’t know much about the subject also makes you a dishonest individual.
To claim something is historical requires a critical evaluation of all the sources of information presented to us so we can be able to determine or establish the level of probability of what being said to be true or false.
Anyone who totally believes in Abel doesn’t understand how history and theology work.

We must forget the physical errors and focus on the spiritual messages
And you think it is all part of the plan?
The contradictions pointed are majorly in figures not in the incident and message content, like Dr Abel affirmed when people as humans writes as secondary authors in different ages or generation on the same thing as humans there is likely to be contradictions but the content of their messages is what matters, even for me iam not sure of my exact birthday because i have two different dates from different sources but the bottom line is that i was born in that year in the course of our narration on stories there may likely be contradictions that is what makes us human. The BIBLE is the word of GOD and inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by mortar men like us. The central message of the Bible is the Redemption plan of God for mankind which was anchored on JESUS CHRIST our Lord and saviour. Matthew 1:21
Please where can I find the full version of this interview
That's why the bible is not the word of God rather a book that teaches about the things of God
You're very correct Jesus Christ is the Word of God..John 1:1;14 and Rev 19:12&13
Glorrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I personal give you pastor a tombs up
Am learning papa
Great content... Kindly bring him again and ask what his opinion is on the books that were taken from the bible like the book of Enoch... And is it okay to read them?
He has already said the books that didn't pass the test were taken out
Passing the test simply means, any book that didn't have the message of salvation which Christ were taken out. All the 66 books in the bible ties up together which is the message of the scriptures
So the book of Enoch didn't have the message of salvation. Period
I know he will give you the right answers, but part of the answer is that there was a criteria for selection prior to inclusion into the Canon, the books had to be scrutinised and pass a test, there were 4 criteria to be followed , a good Bible College student should be able to explain this to you
greetings to all beloved in the Lord. I am not Togolese but I am a man of God. When he says there are errors, he is right. These are translation errors in reality. The fact of translating one language into another has caused certain words or expressions to change the nature of the sentence, resulting in an erroneous interpretation. In John 15:2 it is written . Already the term removed or subtracted causes confusion since it implies cutting. Now the Greek word used is "Airo" which means to raise or lift from the ground.... Just to say that any branch which is attached to the vine but which has fallen or is on the ground will be lifted... it is the idea of mercy and grace that is conveyed there. So every child of God who, despite being in Christ and falls, the Lord comes to his aid... But this verse is used by preachers to speak of hell... What can we say about verse 6 of the same chapter. I didn't come to teach but let's know there is a translation problem. There are plenty of verses but I'll leave it there. this is also why some preachers check the Greek terms most often... Thank you and let us be blessed
This questions are heavy
These are questions I’ve been asking
I’m getting clarity already
Thank you KAA and Dr Abel Damina 🙏
If there are contradictions in the Bible, it simply means Bible is not from God because God is a perfect God. God does not make mistakes.
Don’t listen through your anus Mr man..
The core message of the Bible has no errors..

@@ezehtony6331 @ezehtony6331 It's amazing how the whole point of that statement evaded you.....
That was the humility of the son speaking..... considering how everything he is and everything he said and did..... was the Father.... His Father (YHWH) working through him....... GOD IS THE SAVIOR.... even the Bible records this..... but he chose by his infinite wisdom to allow man to participate in that "SALVATION" only through his son Jesus.....
JESUS IS THE CHRIST AND OUR LORD......
And that takes nothing away from his FATHER AND HIS GOD YHWH...
To which he also gives all the glory.....
No one comes to the Father except through the son....
You're falling for the same deception as the pharisees of old....
You can't accept THE FATHER or say you love him without accepting and loving and honoring THE SON
It's impossible
Dr Damina seems to be a Bible scholar
Not really 40 authors "Who never met each other".... Peter knew John, Matthew and James(Jesus' brother).
Yes spanning over 1500 years but some authors met each other that's why they were eye witnesses to our Lord Jesus!
In all the inerrancy of the Bible is fact!
Great video... Thank you KaaTruth
None of the authors ever mentioned meeting each other. None ever mentioned to have met Jesus. The stories were written in the third person singular. Finally, all the books were written anonymously.
This is a historical fact and it’s well known in all divinity schools and in all academia.
Stop putting up spurious statements that are unhistorical and untrue.
Anyone who doesn't believe that the Bible is breathed by the spirit of God is lost😂
Jesus Christ is the Word of God John 1:1&14 Rev 19:12$13.....the reasons there are so many calculation errors in the Bible, men are distorted in thinking...Holy Spirit doesn't make mistakes..... through out the teaching of Christ Jesus in his days, he never said something and later say he didn't say so, he's so accurate in His teaching but human error happened to the Bible so it paved the way to the errors people are pointing today.
He didn’t even acknowledge there are errors. I don’t know why the interviewer concluded that. He only agreed that there are seemingly contradictions but when properly explained, they are not contradictions. And he gave examples of one. I know you are a member but I think you didn’t get his point.
Who's king James?
Jews condemn Christianity, Christians condemn Islam, Islam condems Christianity. Everyone disagrees with each other and claim they have the truth. Dr Damina will deffend and explain away critical questions just as a Sheikh will do for the Quaran.
There can only be one truth, it is your job to find out which is the truth.
Only Christ Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life...and he's not a Christian or a religious man, he came to show us the way to the Father..anyone can discover that irrespective of your religion..... Christ consciousness leads to the Father God.... religion helps no one to see God or to return to God, only Christ Jesus did.

@@Mr_Ogheneyovie
Where is the evidence that Jesus said this?
Let’s throw in some historical curveballs and methods of questioning any source of information or data.
Did Jesus really said these things?
If Jesus said this truly in John, was the writer following Jesus around taking notes 🗒️?
For how long did the writer follow Jesus around with notepads 🗒️ collecting all the sayings of Jesus.
Do we have these words in the other gospels?
What we know is that the writer heard stories about Jesus and tried writing them down. What we do know is that all the 12 disciples were illiterates.
All we have historically is that none of the writers of the gospels ever met Jesus. None of them ever witnessed his ministry.
None of the writers ever mentioned their names nor said anything regarding seeing Jesus.
Their descriptions of events were written in the third person.
As far as we know, Jesus’ apostles never wrote any books, which is not surprising if they were illiterate fishermen from Galilee.
To some extent the Acts of the Apostles can be looked at as a source of reliable record, it says (Acts 4:13) that both Peter and John were “unlearned” (ie illiterate).
Besides many of the events recorded in the Acts of the Apostle contradicted many events Paul wrote in some of his letters.
What we also have historically is that the Church Fathers of the second century attributed two of the four gospels to the apostles Matthew and John, which required them not only to be literate, but because they were very quite fluent in writing Koine Greek, which would not be the language the real apostles might even have spoken in their ordinary lives. The followers of Jesus were Aramaic speaking Jews from the Rural area of Galilee.
The apostle Peter and how important he was in the Jesus story did not write any of the gospels or been one of New Testament authors, but what we have is that two epistles were written pseudepigraphically in his name.
For some reason, a book was written in the name of Jude, although it carelessly indicates that it was written long after the time of the apostles.
Other books written in the names of various disciples have been rejected as spurious.
I differ in your response that the 40 authors did not meet each other, Mark met Mathew, Luke met Paul.
Evidence

No sir Damina, the original manuscript of the bible have been long lost
Evidence
No long talk
@@PrinceYeboah-y1l a simple google search will give you wisdom
What is this "40 authors who never met each other" slogan. Matthew Mark, Luke and John never met each other? Or they didn't author the books. How about Moses and Joshua. And Soo on
Sir you mentioned 4. What percentage of 40 is 4? =10% They never met as a team , never met or consult each other writing their portion. Hope that helps
@@bishopisaaccrown7596 Your logic is difficult for me to understand. Are you saying that even if only 4 authors knew themselves, it doesn't defeat his mantra? The gospels according to Mat Mk Lk and John are crucial to the new testament. Therefore if anybody creates the impression that a body of work is authentic because the authors never knew each other, that is nonsensical. Whether they knew each other or not is irrelevant. Otherwise the new testament cannot not pass that test.
@LaughRep You tell how it does.Talking logic is veering into.intelectusl terrain, and I don't see how four authors knowing themselves, today writing in synergy.,saying the same things with authors or better still writers who wrote 1500.years wouldn't be phenomenal. Micah prophesy was 700 years before Jesus was born, mentioned little Bethlehem not known, and it came.to pass exactly.
Then thinking of 300 such prophecies fulfilled in one person can.not.be coincidence even by mathematical projections the profanity is negative of zero
@@bishopisaaccrown7596 You won this argument as soon as you cautioned against veering into the intellectual realm
The sad truth is that NO ONE can ever know the truth about God ( who God is, where He is, His real nature etc).
Everything we think we know about God, that we read in the bible, is just the opinions of men about God.
NO ONE CAN EVER UNDERSTAND GOD. IT IS A MYSTERY. EVERYONE JUST CLAIMS TO KNOW WHO GOD IS.
You are right about that. indeed no one can know God... but you can know God in Christ, God is in Christ and Christ is in God, both God and Christ are one (2Cor.5:19; Jn.10:30 )... the truth of God is disclosed and known through Christ (Jn.14:6). Jesus is the Truth of God. i hope this help your understanding brother. Like Dr. Damina said, we need teachers to explain the Bible to us.
There's no need of looking of for original or originality of the Bible, believing in the content is what God expected of us.
In the case of Moses and Samuel and Joshua, some of them were not able to write ✍️ as such there were young people writing their visions while they tell them. So even if the recipient of the visions dies those or someone whose the visions were told can complete the writing.
There are no errors in the Bible.
Nothing like it has been established that there are errors in the Bible. It's your personal opinion or take
@householdoffaithtv7185
Thank you for sharing your belief that the Bible is without error. I appreciate your perspective and would like to respectfully explain why many scholars and theologians acknowledge that the Bible contains various types of errors and inconsistencies. These do not necessarily undermine its spiritual significance but reflect its human authorship, historical transmission, and interpretation over centuries.
1. Historical errors:
Some events in the Bible conflict with archaeological or historical evidence.
Examples:
The Census at Jesus’ Birth (Luke 2:1-2): Luke claims a census occurred under Quirinius while Herod was king, but historical records show Quirinius governed Syria years after Herod’s death.
Daniel and Belshazzar (Daniel 5): Belshazzar is described as king of Babylon, but historical evidence shows he was a crown prince under Nabonidus.
2. Scientific Errors:
Descriptions in the Bible sometimes conflict with modern scientific understanding.
Examples:
Genesis 1: The sequence of creation (e.g., light before the sun) contradicts astrophysics. This is because the sun gives us light. The sun gives the moon it's light as well.
Leviticus 11:6: Hares (Rabbits) are described as chewing cud, which they do not biologically.
Firmament (Genesis 1:6-8): The Bible describes a solid dome ("firmament") separating waters above and below, which is inconsistent with modern cosmology.
3. Contradictions:
Certain passages appear to conflict with each other.
Examples:
Abiathar vs. Ahimelek (Mark 2:26 vs. 1 Samuel 21:1-6):
Mark 2:26: Jesus says David ate consecrated bread “in the days of Abiathar the high priest.”
1 Samuel 21:1-6: The priest at the time was Ahimelek, not Abiathar.
Would Jesus make this kind of mistake? You still don't think this is an error?
Judas’ Death:
Matthew 27:5: Judas hangs himself.
Acts 1:18: Judas falls headlong, and his body bursts open.
Who Purchased the Field:
Matthew 27:6-7: The chief priests use Judas’ silver to buy the "Field of Blood."
Acts 1:18: Judas is described as buying the field himself.
4. Unfulfilled or Confusing Prophecies:
Some prophecies in the Bible appear unfulfilled or open to interpretation.
Examples:
The Prophecy About Tyre (Ezekiel 26:7-14): Ezekiel predicts Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Tyre, but historical evidence shows Tyre was not destroyed by him.
Jesus’ Prediction of the End (Matthew 24:34, Mark 9:1):
Mark 9:1: “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
5. Numerical Errors:
Discrepancies in numbers across accounts.
Examples:
The Census:
2 Samuel 24:9: Reports 800,000 men in Israel and 500,000 in Judah.
1 Chronicles 21:5: Reports 1,100,000 men in Israel and 470,000 in Judah.
Solomon’s Stalls:
1 Kings 4:26: Solomon is said to have 40,000 stalls of horses.
2 Chronicles 9:25: Solomon is said to have 4,000 stalls.
6. Ethical Issues:
The Bible sometimes reflects cultural norms that conflict with modern values.
Examples:
Slavery:
Leviticus 25:44-46: Permits owning slaves from other nations.
Other verses also allow owning of slaves from within the nation of Israel.
Galatians 3:28 Emphasizes equality in Christ, stating, “There is neither slave nor free.”
Luke 17:7-10: Jesus himself uses an example of a servant (slave) in a parable but does not condemn the institution of slavery.
So, is this not an error that God would approve of slavery? Did he create some people lower to/than the others? You don't think this is an opinion of man that God endorses slavery?
7. Translation Issues:
Errors arising from translation choices or differences in manuscripts.
Example:
Isaiah 7:14: The Hebrew word "almah" (young woman) is translated as "virgin" in the Septuagint, influencing Christian theology.
These examples highlight the complexities of interpreting the Bible. Recognizing errors or inconsistencies invites us to approach it with both faith and reason, understanding its human context.
I hope this helps clarify my perspective.
@householdoffaithtv7185 Read 1 John 5:7-8 KJV and NLT versions and you will realize you don't have to believe everything you read in the bible as some of the version of the Bible have been corrupted. King James corrupted the verses I dropped here in order to back up his claim that the Bible talks about the doctrine of Trinity. Do you know of the other multiple bible verses that have been corrupted over the last 3000 years? That's why the earliest manuscripts help. The earliest manuscripts revealed the atrocities committed by King James in the KJV version.
He contradict himself. Nobody sit down to make bible sound right, but a few seconds later, he talked about canonisation of the Bible. You can play around with words, the wise already see his ingenuity. Even Christians reputation scholars do not shy away from the fact that there are errors in the Bible.
How I wish they can interview most men of God in Nigeria like this....
They can't accept such interviews 😂
The message of the bible is authentic and infallible however, It has not claimed accuracy with every single text in it. For instance there is a confirmation that Jesus appeared to them from both authors but the details varied. Until we find out that the bible is claiming infallibility with text, we will acquit it on trial in the court of law on the base of singularity of one message. Thank you
Abel is wrong on this. You can write accurately before you die and it will happen exactly after you. The bible is not contradictory it is only misunderstood in many ways by Bro. Abel
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE CONTRADICTION IN THE BIBLE.
State categorically the Bible passages that contradicted themselves? Mr presenter/host, because it seems to me you are misleading
According to him Bible is just an advanced story book. And nothing can make a lie to become true. Imagine the span of 1500years from the time of Jesus. That's why it full of contradictions, heresy. Deviated from the teachings of Jesus. Come to Islam and you have peace. We believe in Jesus but one of our noble prophets.
We hear with our mind not our ears. Ears are useless without the mind.
Despite all this careful explanation, you are still vomiting this.

He is not even answering the questions. The interview seems to be set up by Dr Abel. So many questions he wasn’t answering. You can’t explain errors out the way he did. I am also an author. If there is an error in my book, I can’t blame it on the mind of the reader. A verse of the 42 years and another said 22 years and now you want to give spiritual meaning to that? If the book is all correct, it really doesn’t need anyone to explain it.
What is the measuring rod to determine what book made it into the bible? The people that determined the measuring rod were not even believers in Christ. They were pagans who were trying to form a one religion to rule their empire and conquered territories with. Therefore they hid what was going to liberate humanity and doctored the whole document. How you see the bible all point to the man Jesus was all cooked up, it wasn’t a divine arrangement. Dr Abel shouldn’t make that sound like it’s a spiritual or divine thing. Saying “40 authors who never met each other “.
The council of Nacia who cooked up the canonised bible was put together by the then emperor of Rome who had an agenda that had nothing to do with God. That can be seen in the way the Roman Catholic run their show. It’s all about religion and has nothing to do with God. Religion as we know it is nothing but a means of control and accusations of wealth. King James seeing how powerful the Roman Empire had become using the instruments of religion and the bible further edited the bible to also suit his own agenda. With all due respect, Dr Abel Damina didn’t do justice to those questions asked. The interviewer also couldn’t take it further by demanding answers. It all looked like arrangee stuff. You heard the interviewer say he personally believed in the authenticity of the bible. That surely gave him away and let me know it is arranged. It is not only Christian that clams that they have peace with God , all religions claim the same. Even Islam. So Christian can’t lay claim to peace with God.
I come in peace.🙏
If you notice, everything Christian has a pagan undertone. Christmas, Easters, Sunday etc. The truth of it is that Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. It is purely a religion created by the Romans to create dominate the rest of the people and accumulate wealth. That is you see that the Vatican 🇻🇦 is single-handedly the richest organisation in the world. The same system is replicated in the Christian church today. The pastor is rich and 80% of the church is put yet they are the ones that contributed to make the pastor rich. That is evil any which way you look at it. It inhumane and that is what Christianity is about from it’s foundation. It is a system and it is unfortunate that even the practitioners of the faith are not aware that they are in a system created to subjugate the rest of the people. Questions need to be asked but it is unfortunate that the moment anyone begins to ask questions Christian and the leaders of the religions are uncomfortable. Christianity thrives on the ignorance of the people. It is the system of religion,that’s how religion works. It needs you to just accept its tenates, no questions asked. They words like believe, faith destiny to dominate the place of reasoning. It is canality to use your mind (brain). So what is your God given mind for?
I personally love Dr Abel Damina but the truth be told , he doesn’t have answers to so many things as far as Christianity is concerned.
As long as your only source of knowledge is a book that was written by people that have evil agenda, that book cannot be trusted and therefore can ultimately not represent the voice of God to humanity. There are good stuff in the bible don’t get me wrong but the bible is not the express word of God to man. The bible is documented stories and history of people that lived on this planet. The story overtime had been altered, things were changed, added and removed from it. I come in peace 🙏
That's your opinion and thoughts. Everybody has his or her own view. Whether you believe in the authenticity of the Bible or not, that does not change anything because we are talking about spirituality in relation to GOD. It is not solely in your hands. You have your will, your decision and a choice to make but the consequences of your decision does not solely rest in your hands. Bless you !
He said the errors is only with the person reading it and finding contradictions. but ideally there are no errors.
Antagonist
You're gonna be a bad author and your books will be very watered cuz u are a bad listener and u can't decode very well and you have the spirit of heavy in u.
Errors that are blatant now lies in the eyes of the reader? 😂😂😂 Is that supposed to be a joke? So now it’s the reader's perspective that defines the error? Wow, what an explanation. And then he claimed the authors didn’t see each other. Let’s assume some didn’t, but didn’t they read each other's work? Have you thought of that? I mean, some scriptures reference other scriptures, indicating they were aware of other passages. Some authors were very knowledgeable about the Torah, which allowed them to reference it in their writings. The assertion that they didn't see each other, and therefore it must be divinely inspired, is a weak argument. Smart way to evade the question.
When historians use the word history, they don’t assume or presuppose.
When historians want to establish what happened in the past, all they have to do is to employ historical analysis to critically evaluate all the sources of information available to them.
All the books we have written as recorded Jewish scriptures were written centuries apart. They were written by people who never knew nor met each other.
The books were written at different places within the empire and at different times. The books were also written by the authors for their own specific audiences and also for specific reasons.
Most of these books have gone through multiple editing and through many theological changes.
For example, the book of Isaiah as people are aware of is just one book. But it’s now well known in all academia and divinity schools that the book was written by three different authors and were written many centuries apart.
In other words, history is not about making assumptions. History is what happened in the past and it’s about what we can establish that happened in the past.
To be able to establish what happened in the past, we have to critically examine all the sources of information available to us to determine what really happened.
We can’t use religious or theological arguments to prove historical arguments. They are two different realms of discourse.

please I made a mistake. It's more like I'm Togolese. I am not a man of God.
But paul met peter and james and all these wrote a book or books from in the bible
What he meant is that from old testament writer down to new testament writer they never meet each other, you must understand that some of the old testament writers never met each other till the time of the new testament writers
The Hebrew scriptures were written by people who never met each other and the books were written centuries apart.
The books were written for different audiences for different purposes and were not written to be canonical in nature.
The creation of this new weird religion brought about the creation and choosing of books.
Why are you lying? Just admit that the bible is not the word of God, period!

Where is your evidence?
Show it or disappear
Can I just say that the Bible said something is a claim and not the evidence for it being true.
Giving personal or anecdotal evidence or testimony and experience is some kind of platitude to make you feel good.
Anyone can get a copy of how we came about the New Testament.
Yale University has some pretty good lectures on the history and creation of Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
The New Testament lectures was made by professor Dale Martin He’s a Yale University professor who taught in their divinity department and he’s one of the best in the world.
There are loads of New Testament books in PDFs online. Any😢can grab a copy and do their own research and compare all the garbage this man has been saying.
Anyone can do their own homework and stop listening to these people.
I also realised how he combined the word Christology “The understanding of Christ” with Soteriology “The beliefs and doctrines regarding how to gain salvation”.

Liar
This man talks loads of nonsense.
Please stop listening to this nonsense this man is saying. He uses big English words to make him believable.
The first person we know in history that chose the books we have in the New Testament is Athanasius The Bishop of Alexandria in Egypt.
Anyone can look up the name and compare it to this man’s claims.
Also, the first Christian theologian to first create a canon of the Christian bible is French church father Marcion of Synope. He had 1 of the gospel that we now have as Luke’s and 10 letters of Paul.
Anyone can look up the history of this man and his teachings plus his theology and the differences he taught his followers between the god of the Hebrew Bible and the god of Jesus.
Jesus if existed didn’t leave any writing for his followers.
Besides, none of the writers of the gospels ever claimed to have met Jesus nor were eyewitnesses. All we have are just church traditions and stories.
That’s why you will have it written on the pages of the gospels like for example “the gospel according to so and so”. The writers didn’t give their names nor signed the stories.
The names given to the gospels were pinned on the books by the early church fathers to make followers believe in the stories and to help make the books authoritative.
Besides, when you do a synopsis analysis of the 4 gospels, you will realise that some of the writers copied from each other words for words with theological changes in different places.
And that’s why there are loads of contradictions and discrepancies in the stories.
All we have are traditions that were left behind by the dominant Christian group who later chose the 66 books that became the Christian bible.
Many other books were burnt and destroyed by the dominant group that we now know as the Orthodox.
Orthodox means we have the right belief and Heresy means wrong beliefs. Those who had the power and money to influence the decision of the empire later became the Orthodox group and for example the Roman Catholic Church.
You can be heavily learned and heavily lost. Everything in recorded history can or can't be bent depending on the reader

Can you kindly repeat what you posted here in simple and logical terms?
Your comment is hard to read through and comprehend. Try and make it make more sense.

He’s a theologian and not a historian.
You can’t be seriously doing theology and pretend to be doing history. They are not completely compatible. No one can mix water with oil.
History is what happened in the past and when historians use the word history, they are using it to try and establish what happened in the past, with empirical and archaeological evidences.
What historians tend to say also is that you can’t use religious arguments to prove historical arguments. With religion, all you have is belief arguments and faith arguments.
Just like you can’t use mathematical arguments to prove or argue for philosophy. They are different realms of discourse. Theology and history are different realms of discourse.
If you pretend you are doing history and in fact you are doing theology makes you disingenuous.
And you doing theology by trying to convince people with big grammars because they don’t know much about the subject also makes you a dishonest individual.
To claim something is historical requires a critical evaluation of all the sources of information presented to us so we can be able to determine or establish the level of probability of what being said to be true or false.
Anyone who totally believes in Abel doesn’t understand how history and theology work.
@@thethinking-agnostic7130this is exactly where you are wrong. The history of the Jews partly recorded in their scriptures and Torah contains their theology. God has no choice but to work with mortal men and within their recorded history and culture as given in their scriptures, which are authentic works of several men and prophets over many years is hidden his Christology. You are capping careless here. Christ himself from their scriptures expounded theology.

You are just spewing nonsense. I don’t think you’ve ever read a book in your entire lifetime. Apart from what you’ve been taught to believe.
Get a book written by a Jewish historian and someone who is Jewish himself. Stop making yourself look intelligent and stupid at the same time.
Lay your hands on this book.
“📕 The invention of the Jewish people by Shlomo Sand“ for example is a very Jewish book. Written by a respected Jewish scholar and historian. Enjoy ☺️
