      Because the prophecy isn't just dealing with Jesus. The virginity aspect doesn't apply to the child being talked about in the context of the matter, and the other details don't deal with Jesus. Discern can not accept this fact of scripture, that the prophecies are cut up in to pieces, Isaiah 14 being ALL OVER THE PLACE with what applies to what, because it completely destroys his only , aha, "arguments" , and then he wouldn't look too justified in his rancid hate for God.

    This is really fascinating! :D I'm used to thinking about the bible as stories that came from roughly the same time, from the same group of people, who worked together, but it's more like an anthology of fanfiction. Trying to make all scripture fit together is like trying to make all Frozen-fanfiction fit together. :)
    It would be interesting to watch a video on how they decided to edit the bible, and decide what books to keep. ;)
    Great video!

    • @Discern4
      @Discern4  8 років тому +5

      Yeah, the hard part, especially for those that grow up in christianity, is remembering that the books are by different authors written at different times who even had different theology. You become so used to clumping it all together that you don't realize that certain authors never said this or that, and they may have even disagreed with other authors.
      You're right, Christian apologetics is like trying to harmonize fan-fiction.
      As for the construction of bible, maybe have a look at some talks by Bart Ehrman, particularly on "Misquoting Jesus".

    Claiming a virgin birth seems like a good plan to avoid getting stoned to death for having sex before marriage.

    • @Discern4
      @Discern4  8 років тому +3

      I wouldn't be surprised if a number of women did this back then.. it's not implausible given those oppressive jewish laws. And since it was a pretty hellenistic society, people might have been inclined to believe their stories.
      I personally don't think this was the case with Jesus though, since the virgin birth idea seems to have been an afterthought. Like an apologetic made up to deal with the fact that Jesus was supposed to be sinless. Same how catholics later made up the "immaculate conception": the idea of Mary being somehow born without sin.

      I think much of it has to do with Romans wanting to keep up with pagan ideas and to also absolve themselves of killing Jesus. Who else would benefit from turning Jesus into someone who died for everyone sins? Romans they who persecuted Jews and Jesus were probably putting this stuff together and thinking...oh wait...we can't have that in the book! It's gonna make us look bad. Here let's turn Jesus into a human sacrifice. The whole be celibate comes from Paul which has also led to many shady behaviors from priests. I do also think the virgin birth was just a mis-translation perhaps even deliberate and they went with it.
      Nowhere does Jesus claim he came to do away with the laws of God and nowhere does he say I have come to die on this cross to cleanse you of sin! If we were all cleansed of sins then why are we considered sinners? It makes no sense. There is also this "You are born of sin!" card that keeps being tossed out and yet in order to sin you must take an action to sin. I don't think babies are sinners. When Christians turn away from the definition of sin which is found in the commandments, from there, people tend to make sins up out of thin air. If a Christian doesn't like let's say bologna sandwiches...you are now a sinner for eating that. If a Christian is jumping on the anti-smoker bandwagon, you are now a sinner for smoking even though that is not apart of the commandments either.
      Romans have always persecuted Jews so perhaps the NT was a way for Romans to hijack Jewish faith and attach themselves to it as a form of persecution. Get as many people to praise Romans for killing Jesus, blame it on the Jews, cause more people to hate who they hate while wearing a smile and make billions bowing down before skeletons they call relics.
      In the bible it also talks about those preaching about lawlessness in revelation and the messiah tells them to depart from him. These people in revelations thought they were in good with the messiah but they were misled.
      The bible is an interesting book but it does have contradictions. If something has contradictions, something in the milk ain't clean and that is why you hear so many saying that you must believe the entire book or else! Then again if you quote a verse they don't like watch the fumble.

    Your list at 4:17 - left side - has John written before Luke. But the opposite is likely the case, as John reverses Luke's parable about Lazarus (an unlikely coincidence the other way around), and John adds many people and events not found in the synoptic tradition. It looks like the placement of the gospels internal to the list (instead of much later) is the authors' desires, and not something based on any historical examination of the growth of ideas.
    And Hebrews, James, and 1 Peter are probably a lot earlier than presented. It's almost as if the two authors merely put the lists together based on what they wanted, instead of what's likely. Did they give any reasoning for their lists?

    • @Discern4
      @Discern4  8 років тому

      I agree: out of the two, I think the list on the right would be more accurate. Anyway, they were a couple known Christian scholars who had published their lists, so I went with it for ease of use and to help counter any claims of anti-christian bias.

      Thanks, I use Premiere Pro. It's overkill for the type of videos that I usually do, but I like having fine manual control. If you get Premiere, you're basically just getting a tool to edit with, there's no easy templates or neat effects. Almost none of the effects in my videos come with Premiere. If I wasn't so fussed, I'd probably use one of those presentation programs. Something like Proshow Producer, Prezi or Powtoon etc.

    This is a great deception to many. They say if you don't believe in this myth, portrayed by every other pagan religion, you are denying the power of The Most High. Never asking themselves why The Most High set aside and preserved a specific bloodline just to throw it all away in the end because He somehow didn't foresee something or made a mistake. In the end these people will be deceived by the anti Christ

    What happened to the Magi after the "virgin" birth of Jesus? If they were all kings didn't they have the power to spread the news of this miraculous birth throughout their kingdoms? They came, they saw...and the rest is silence? I mean a king back in those days no matter how humble meek and mild had power (wealth, armies, influence etc) so then God must of informed all 3 of them to...stay out of it(!?)...because then they would mess up all the prophecies that god planned afterward? If however they were just some wise astrologers then there does not appear to be any old testament prophecies about them.

    Gal 3:16 = Isaac
    Abraham was sterile could not bare children Isaac was the son of GOD created by the Word of GOD that is why St. John called him the Word.
    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1
    If you read the rest of the chapter but vision a realistic transformation of meaning then proof is all there and in all their testimony.
    I can prove that Abel, Jacob and Jesus are the same spiritual person. Rev 13:8= Abel Psalm 80:17=Jacob
    However all the apostles actually believed that Jesus was Isaac = the miracle birth from GOD
    Adam = God in the flesh and he was reborn many times and also as Abraham. So when he said son of God and son of man this is why for he was both.
    The story of a virgin birth was adopted by Isaiah 7:14 but the father of the child was Isaiah Isaiah 8:3
    I remind you all that the LORD does not interfere or be a Muslim and possess his creation by forcing His will upon them. No way you are all incapable of comprehending perfection.
    In the law , it is written, if a woman who is married or a daughter who is not married she must ask her husband or her father for permission before coming before me or her vow is not valid. He made Eve out of Adam did not make Eve as he did Adam. Think about that.
    The story of a virgin is made up to honor their father.
    The birth of Isaac is a bit different . Scripture, when my Word goes out of my mouth it shall not return to me void. Isaiah 55:11
    The Word is not in the heavens nor beyond the sea but it is in thy mouth.
    Deut 30:12
    Son of God is misunderstood Adam was God the Word of GOD or his breath made the Man =Adam a living creature so the connection between the two is a bit stronger then with us but the Word was not possessive just like your own spirit is not possessive to you nor you to the word.
    Freedom of choice to consent life or death is a process of growth.
    Good and evil just knowledge no hell no heaven just here until we overcome death. Devil was Cain John 8:44 Satan is just the prosecutor. Life is ment to be everlasting otherwise worthless.
    If heaven was ment for us we would have been born there not here. Day dreaming is a lazy human thing to do.
    Jesus was rejected by the Jews because he was not a killer, so Christians will reject him the same way for their day dreams will not take place.
    John the Baptist said sin as in one not sins as in many.
    Sin was the name GOD called the knowledge of evil in Gen 4:7

    13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
    14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
    15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
    16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
    17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
    18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
    19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
    John 9 (KJV)
    39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
    John 10 (KJV)
    11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
    14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
    15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
    16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
    17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
    18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

    Continuing doing the Devils work I see - what a mess of a video based on utter insanity.
    Countless of Woman are virgins before they conceive? So what!... Standard knowledge for most sane people that if a woman has been known by a man she is no longer a virgin - Mary was still a Virgin after her conception as she had known no man. And she was a virgin until Joseph knew her after the birth of Jesus.
    This is typical Jewish so called Rabbi twisting things, blind guides for blind people - and yet falling on there own feet in there own arguments.
    First basing on arguments that it can't be the word virgin in one video and then coming back to it and say it does not matter if they kept the virgin translation. But of cause the first point was invalid in itself and yet these liars are just making a total mess out of things trying to do what they can to deny the plain truth.

They were just writing stuff down from dreams and emotions. No spirit guided them and this book is for Jewish salvation. I figured that out the first time I read it.

      Everything ain't the devil's work. That shit has to stop. They were human beings with no logic at all. They were humans that made mistakes. They weren't talking to no spirit or you wouldn't have all these mistakes and inconsistencies. The old testament was written by Jews and for Jews. Jesus was sent to save the Jews and it isn't one verse in the Bible that says Jesus went to different cultures trying to save them. He even called a woman a dog because she wasn't a Jews. And let's not forget one of Mosese's original stone tablets,before first set were destroyed ,actually says the God of Israel will punish you for disobeying. And you and no-one can explain why did God only save the Israelites Jews from Egypt but didn't lift a finger to save anyone else from slavery. How about the African Americans or any other races that's in slavery?That books says God put Israelites,who are jews,above all people. From what I see,the Bible is a Jewish book and a God who favour Jews over every other race. If you can't see that,then you cleary are stupid.

      Go out into the whole world and make disciples - Jesus words and last part of book of Matthew.
      He came to his own but his own rejected him - thereby salvation was given also for the Gentiles through the blood of Jesus Christ.
      The Nazoreans, the first believers who many was very close to what happened in Jerusalem - to my knowledge accepted the virgin birth as fact - only the Ebionite rejected it and seems to be an outspring from the Nazoreans who began to distort the truth. The Nazoreans was hated by the gentile western Christians but the reason was not because they did not believe many of the mainstream doctrines like the virgin birth - but because they kept and guarded the Torah at the same time as describe in the book of acts, they where zealus and on fire for the Torah.
      It is very clear from the New Testament that it has to be a virgin birth, I think it is the book of John that does not directly say but yet point to it as so - but one need to study to open up the parts one layer at a time. So we have at least have 3 of the 4 main books pointing to the virgin birth.

    Well, off to a wrong start, but ok. Lies from "scholars" that know less about the Bible than an atheist does but, whatever. Already looked at that crap. Not even acknowledging Genesis 3s prophecy, but of course that would give a fair playing field. You would then have to logically debunk it, cant try THAT now can we. And again, the second part about the dual prophecy. As for two virgin births ? No, because the whole point is its God's seed. Once again, look at Isaiah 14 and look at what a dual prophecy can do. The name thing IS about Jesus, its a title specifically when he is LITERALLY with us, the us being the Jews, not me and you. On Jesus NOT knowing right and wrong, actually, its implied that he was while God manifest in the flesh, not aware of his deityhood until he was, about twelve I think, but its a dual prophecy there ( Isaiah 14, this is not bull crap ). Paul didn't mention it because, the virgin birth is a sign to the Jews, and after it happened, its *OLD NEWS* . CATHOLICS put too much emphasis on the virgin birth, NOT Christians. Anyone who denies it is of course VIOLENTLY wrong because its what the Bible says, and it needs to be so for Jesus Christ to be God almighty, but in terms of doctrine it is hilariously small a detail.
