Hello dad, I’ve always wanted you to cover this
Nice. Awesome. Sweet. Stagger. Perfect. Cool. Amazing.
Stay great dad
Hello dad
thanks wendy blendy
Jesus making a kid drop dead, reviving him and then having im say "no Jesus didn't kill me" had me screaming
Jesus was Bart Simpson and no one can convince of that not being the truth.
@@DoomedMarine666 your comment brightened up my day a little bit

@@l_ndonmusic Okay!
**Eats part of the holy tunic, revealing a demon exiting out of my human body afterward.**
You know, you and wendigoon laugh like the stories here aren't just as ridiculous as the stories that actually made it into the Bible.
Reminder, at one point the entire world flooded and the only thing that saved life on earth was one man building a boat and putting 2 of every animal on it.
As a Protestant I got to say my favorite part of the bible was when Jesus said "it's gospeling time" and then did a backflip off the cross.
Or when he looked at his apostles and said “don’t worry guys *puts on sunglasses* IL BE BACK” than the heavenly host played the CSI intro
Memes aside, as a Catholic I feel the need to point out that there's no difference in terms of Books when it comes to the Protestant and Catholic/Eastern Orthodox versions of the New Testament.
The debate was over the Deuterocanon and books in the old testament, because the Ecumenical Councils that decided the biblical canon included books in the Christian Old testament like Tobit, Maccabees, parts of Esther, Wisdom, Sirach, etc. that aren't part of the Pharisaic/Rabbinic Old Testament (sorry if anyone finds the former description offensive, but it's important for the framing of the church's interpretation/perspective of the OT). All of them were part of the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the OT given to greek jewish communities before the church even existed) and many of them have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Not gonna argue over which is correct, but just clarifying. There are parts of the non-canonical books that are reflected in VERY old artwork and such from times before the church was organized (like Mary giving birth in a cave), but the councils ruled them as apocryphal, and historians mostly agree.
Now, on that note, some of the texts like the first of Clément's Epistles (the later ones are spurious) and the Didache (which is THE oldest non-biblical Christian text) are SUPPORTED by historians and the church alike and so are kept separate from scripture as reference for the sake of study and church history, but are in NO WAY considered as authoritative as Scripture. More as supplemental to doctrine and study in the same way as the other writings of the Church Fathers.
Who hurt you
💀💀💀
wait, didn't he say "It's Jesusin time!" and then do the backflip? 🤔
"I believe there should be no closed doors when it comes to knowledge"

@@allenhuntsman wisdom is most certainly a virtue of Christianity. King Solomon my dude. Faith is still a massive part of it
@@TheOzarkRanger-yl5eb Yes that maybe is true but higher order thinking and critical logic isn't really supported in Christianity. You can't say that God you've caused all this suffering of people getting their sausages chopped...why have you slain us, mutilated us, eaten us, and let the rest rot? Then God gives some logic about suffering and sin, and he expects us to pray to him and believe that is the highest good...while he doesn't ever suffer(other than Christ ofc he suffered a lot but before him Yahweh killed people mercilessly only for them to go to hell and suffer for eternity)
"Mother, I am the Son of God"
"...wow"
That made me wheeze 🤣 the idea of Mary being unphased by some of the wildest things a child could ever possibly say is amazing

@@spookysugar Certified Feral Judas Moments.
Combine the Gospel of Judas with the Infancy Gospel, and you have the Family Guy parody version of Christianity…
I love how Mary's response to infant Jesus telling her he's gonna be crucified is just "that's nice dear" as if he were trying to show her a nice rock he found.
to be fair, is my child told me that I'd probably react the same way. Kids say wild stuff all the time.
isn't this a common occurance?
@@jasmine-kg7ddMaybe, but then, Jesus wasn't a usual child to begin with, hahaha, all miracles and such
@@jasmine-kg7dd maybe the saying weird stuff, but the fact that he was like two months old makes it a little bit stranger
@@redbreadredemption2401 i was joking when i said that dont worry
The first gospel of infancy reads like the Star Wars sequel trilogy. “That kid grew up to be Judas iscariot” has the same energy as “somehow Palpatine returned” 😂

Are you a Christian ?
So does windigoon and you people believe earth is 6,000 years old
Wendigoon's Christian videos are unironically the best Christian videos I've seen on UA-cam. He isn't trying to convert you, but it's clear that he feels deeply about his faith and also knows his stuff about it, even the weird corners. I really need to start listening to the weird Bible podcast lol
dude, I've been an atheist since I was very young and nothing, not my family, not the church, not any other human being has made me doubt my own beliefs (lack of?) as much as wendigoon, his paradise lost video had me in shambles, like, thinking about going to mass next day kind of shambles
@@reshirman paradise lost is fan fiction and isn’t meant to be taken literal by any christian but i see what you mean
I recommend Dr. Michael S. Heiser is in my opinion one of the best biblical scholars.
Wendigoon has a weird bible podcast?!?!?
I'm Gnostic personally and I'm going to have to say he's probably the only Christian I've heard talk about some of the things only a little disrespectfully instead of damn near trying to verbally burn everyone who believes like I do at the stake
I'm honestly just more impressed on your ability to list off all the books off the Bible without missing a beat than anything else
...there's programs in certain churches that have us do it. I know them all because of a song lol
@@mikchimin I still have memories of that song...

Wendigoon, you've been the one, no priests, not my parents, my grandparents, to be the person who reenact my faith in the Christian Bible. I appreciate your understanding and belief in scripture that I have come to follow.

Were these written by the Disney remake committee?
i think what makes wendigoon’s christian/biblical content so different and so enjoyable is that he’s not trying to preach to you or convert you, he’s just talking enthusiastically about something he’s genuinely passionate about
@YoUnEvErkNoWwHoKnOwSwHo 👍
It's why I like his Bible studies too. I don't think my opinions on the nature of the universe is gonna change any time soon but I really enjoy hearing about the bible from someone who has a lot of passion and knowledge about his faith and a genuine desire to teach, not just proselytize.
this is great but not really accurate.. (im glad he made it). he has a very conservative viewpoint and is inaccurate in some places here.
@@charlesreid9337 I've never noticed anything overly "conservative" he's said, and I've watched him for years... I am an atheist, and I hate politics, but enjoy his content. Just curious where that came from...
I'm only 12 minutes in and already be has so much info wrong. Matthew, madk, luke and John did not write the gospels. They were anonymous authors pretending to be them. Jesus brother james, who was actually leading the church after Jesus death, did NOT agree with paul. James church had it's own texts that are now mostly lost, we only have a few extant fragments. Some non canonical texts pre date the canonical gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Didache.
Id be in a TOTALLY different place in life if i had Wendigoon as a sunday school teacher. Those kids don't know how lucky they are to have such a wonderfully wholesome and creatively quirky kind soul like his in their life every week talking passionately about religion and spirituality.
Excuses nobody cares you wicked sinner
oh god he teaches kids this sh1t?
Wendigoon is a teacher?
Wait, what are you talking about?
@@kjamlin wendigoon's a sunday school teacher
That 66 book in order listing by memory is so impressive I need that skill
there’s a books of the bible song that most kids in church learn to memorize the books in order. it’s on spotify and is catchy so it helps with the skill
This man can unite Atheists, Muslims, Christians, and pretty much everybody while talking about the Bible. That is incredibly hard to do.
Honestly, if people were just willing to realize their own beliefs can be a bit wacky, things would be much better. thats what makes wendigo videos fun without feeling preachy.
Christians are supposed to be this way, 😩 I’m a Christian, I love non bigoted Christian’s
@@jonincannon y u having orgasm
@@jonincannon How are christians not supposed to be bigoted? You're required to belief outside of any proof. Quite literally meant to hold to the miracles and godliness in face of any reasoning. And then for a colloquial understanding of bigot, as your brothers keepers, expected to preach those beliefs and warnings of sin to others to convert them to good christians worthy of heaven. Frankly I'm very curious how wendigoon and others can laugh at these stories but hold to water to wine, unlimited fish, water walking, 3 days in a tomb, and Lazurus come forth.
@@SinStar87bro because its not the same lol
Actually, as a Catholic, the answer I've always heard about the "brothers" of Christ is simply that the original Aramaic word used in the Gospels does not exclusively mean "son of my father and mother" - 1st Century Aramaic had no specific word for cousins and other similar relatives and simply used "brother" and "sister" as a general catch-all term for them. As far as I've heard, the Catholic position is that Jesus' "brothers" were actually his cousins.
The other argument is that Joseph had a previous marriage and was an older man. I personally beleive joseph was younger because if he was older the journey as a refugee in Egypt probably would have killed him early, however being old explains why he’s dead when Jesus is 30. If ur a Catholic believing in either or is fine though
Yes, that's what I was taught as well (as a Catholic).
Came here to say this. I also just got through this part in Bible in a Year and Fr. Mike Schmitz says that it was a term for his people, extended kinsmen.
@@thesaucydandy kinsmen and not how Wendigoon likes to say "Kithsmen" lol
Yea as a Catholic and a guy who enjoys linguistics, it's an interesting seeing how the translators of old (the Alexandrian sages, St. Jerome, Aquila of Sinope, the priests of Douai, the ecclesiastics of King James I of England) and the more contemporary ones (Mgr. Ronald Knox, the RSV-translators, etc.) have to deal with peculiarities that exist in old languages and that certainly haven't died in modern languages. After all, even in Tagalog our system of family reference names doesn't really distinguish between older cousins and older brothers. Plus, I believe channels like NativLang have covered how there are some 8 different "family systems" in linguistics.
you would do such amazing work as a pastor. as someone that was raised catholic, left the church for a bit, and am finding my way back to general christianity, your videos have helped me to find deeper meaning in my new faith. thank you thank you thank you!!
I think in one of his older less popular Christian videos he talks about how he is a Sunday school teacher. Or at least he was in the video like 3 years ago

Imagine how lucky Wendigoon's sunday school homies are to get this fantastic story telling in person once a week.
there’s a good chance they hate being there so.. idk if i’d consider them lucky
@@maylawson6520 Why would they hate being there?
@@stanharold7641 i met 2 kids in my entire life who enjoyed going to church, and it was because they were unbearable and were only friends with eachother and other people who were forced to be around them lol
i thought it was common knowledge that sunday school was like torture when we were kids
@maylawson6520 if you actually knew anything about him you would know that he doesn't teach kids he teaches mostly adults. So yeah the op is probably right that theres a good chance they enjoy being there
@@funnelingspace9268 jesus weirdo, sorry for not knowing everything about a stranger on the internet. i was making a joke about how much sunday school sucks. chill. meditate. stop being a freak.
Thank you a billion times wendigoon. As a Christian I have acknowledged these books to be ... existing but I had always held the holy Bible to be the ultimate truth for whatever reason and that God had allowed us to have the holy Bible as a book with no fluff no filler and only truth. I have acknowledged some of these hidden books as a possibility but not as gospel, so to speak. I really appreciate the knowledge that you have and I really do feel blessed to have such access to what I consider your channel to be as education. God bless you brother and I'm so interested in all your information because you are very informative and very smart guy, I like to think I have a decent head on my shoulders but it's always great to learn more and you in fact do that to me. God bless and can't wait for more of your content as I do have more to see and more to wait for I'm sure. Take care

I would absolutely listen to a 7 hour version listing and describing all the omitted books.
None were removed in reality just others did exist and some considered them canon
@@snopespeerreviewsome where removed.. some where altered and some may have also been lost.
Depending on your sect of Christianity depends what you believe about these things but proof is available for alterations like the comma with the bit about the trinity being one, the red sky in the morning and about juli Vs Julia's if it's refering to a woman ect...
When it comes to whole books being removed, that's even more cut and dry... There's so many versions before cannon was established that written down it'll make a giant family tree then even after cannon, there's 3 modern versions used world wide, 3 versions means what? Yeah... Books removed...
@@snopespeerreviewomission from the most popular book in the world. Is indeed removal. Especially since it’s deluded some Christians to believing that “non-canon” is all fake when in fact some of those are foundational to our faith (I.e. Books of Enoch 1,2 and 3)
@@TheKidKaizernone were removed. No legitimate church ever acknowledged any of the “missing” book. These books were either always considered folklore or were written far outside the window of credibility. The 66 canon books were always acknowledged by the universal church, and then they were affirmed, not decided upon, by the council of Trent.
@@arcanum3882Yeah, tbh it's been annoying me lately that I've come across more than one video essay about "the BANNED books from the Bible!". Aside from (probably) the Book of Enoch, the rest of this stuff is mere forgery, fanfics, basically, by ancient pagans who probably never so much as met the apostles.
Some of these have big "SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY" vibes if you know what I mean. Like it has to explain EVERYTHING. Explaining where the perfume came from is the ancient version of explaining where Han got his dice.
I checked out this vid out of curiosity a few weeks back, and it was such fun I started reading some of these heretical works. Yup, some are as ridiculous as you warned, but like you say at the end, they actually highlight what makes the Bible so inspirational by contrast. Thanks for doing this research and going through it with us.
See this is why I love Wendigoon. He just makes videos about whatever fascinates him. He didn’t let the fact that he makes videos about Christianity stop him from making videos about weird, creepy stuff or conspiracies that he’s into. And he didn’t let blowing up for his creepy content stop him from making videos about Christianity. Plus, if you’ve read the Bible… some of it is wild lol
Ezekiel 23:20 would agree with your last statement
It‘s got porn, it‘s got birth registers, it‘s got drug-fueled nightmares. There‘s something for everyone, and the Apocryphals have strong women. It‘s why they were declared non-canon, because that‘s unrealistic. 🤷♀️
@@jyorgbjornsen Ignoring the fact that women’s accomplishments have been suppressed throughout the entirety of human history is pretty stupid. Did I hurt your widdle feelings? =D
@@ArDeeMee the cultural hegemony of men throughout history was the doing of man not the Bible. Though the leaders of the church did contribute to this, is does not mean that the texts in the Bible were edited to remove the accomplishments of women. There are many examples of stories in the Bible that have strong women and to ignore them to support your argument is arguing in bad faith. Also the ending to ur comment was very r/atheist of you.
@@braedonsdayoff9409 My dude, who exactly do you think decided on what is canon?
Also, it wasn‘t your god that wrote the book.
Wendigoon, as a jew, you have no idea how exhilarating it is to hear a Christian to actually tell the story about the politics between the jewish leaders and jesus correctly. It is genuinely so rare and i highly commend you for that.

@@higharchlover2 that's some three stooges humor and i might be using that while in conversion classes
So a person with a Christian/Catholic background that kind of fizzled away over time, I highly respect your perspectives on these non-canon biblical texts. Just simply being open to them while also displaying your innate devotion to your own religion is awesome. I truly don't even know what I believe in anymore, but to see your beliefs so steadfast while studying these very blatantly blasphemous things is inspiring. As you said, knowledge should be hidden to no one, even if it's text that can't confirmed.
Thank you, just found your channel. I truly enjoy your videos
As someone who was raised very Christian, I would LOVE to see more of these. The banned/forgotten books of the Bible have always interested me and the way you were able to condense them was super helpful and entertaining.

Ah, but someone has to betray Jesus for the crucifixion.
This was an awesome video! Hoping to see more like it! I really appreciated all of the research you obviously put in, and the Christian foundation you displayed throughout. It was really refreshing watching someone who holds Scripture in high authority break these down to lay man terms. It really cleared up a lot of my nagging thoughts about these weird books that I've seen floating around agnostic circles and that critics of Christianity like to parade around.
One thing that I wanted to mention is that at 40:07 I'd say that it's possible that they were all in Jerusalem at the time given it was Passover and Jews made pilgrimages to Jerusalem during this time. And your section on the Narrative of Joseph was spot on. I felt all of that. "I wouldn't want to be that guy right now" is a _nice_ way of putting it.
Thank you for this, brother. Would love to hear more of this, I appreciate your work you put into this.
sorry, but his scholarship is really bad.
@@martinkatz3334 ?
I am not a Christian but I ADORE your content. My best friends are both very devout Christians and have the same well-rounded, sober understanding of the Bible and biblical concepts that you display. I wish more Christians could talk like this. I have a great appreciation for how much effort and passion you put into these educational videos. Thank you so much!
I kinda wish that too. I cant find other christians like this that do this AND like horror stuff.
I really wish a non-annoying and non-brainwashed Christian would explain to me how they explain away all of the scientific findings in the last century or two. I know the full story of Adam and Eve, and it’s a great story, but it’s too far fetched to be real. Evolution has immense evidence to back it up, and the big bang theory while relatively new ALSO has a fair bit of evidence. Thing is, I really want some form of God to be real. So long as I’m not sent to suffer for eternity for living a pretty standard life. I want to believe that I’ll get to see my grandpa who was like a father to me again, but I just can’t. It’s like believing in magic. I want it to be real so bad, but nothing I’ve ever heard in my adult life has come close to convincing me. It just goes against everything we can prove. “Have faith” says the Christians, as they likely spend their lives devoting themselves to nothing. Help me understand. Because I can’t help but feel that religion is nothing more than a coping mechanism for humanities greatest fear (death), or a way to find power and wealth like so many religions have done in the past.
@@Wasattsi as one said person, for genius at least I personally don't. It is mostly allegory to contextualize our relationship with god and the meaning of Christ's sacrifice. I feel God made the earth. By causing the big bang, I believe God created man. Via evolution, science let's us see into the how of creation in a more direct literal sense, genius shows us the spiritual side.
@@Wasattsi as far as the faith argument goes.... Look faith is weird, I see having faith isn't for everyone, it's arbitrary and abstract even for people who have it, in the end we all process the greater meaning of the universe or lack there of in our own ways. It's really complicated and different for everyone you ask and, dispute many christians thinking it unironicaly is, is not unique to Christianity, but for all religions wich just further deepens the can of worms...

As a muslim who has particularly a interest in the 3 abrahamic religions and their history. I can say: I appreciate the effort u made into this video. Some books were in my "to-read list", so it's good to know which ones I can take with a pinch of salt. I finished recently "The Shepherd of Hermas", it really showed the early christians (also where in the list would it belong,; historical?) and I am currently reading the dead sea scrolls, but since I do this in my free time, it takes me some time to finish it.
Btw: I don't read to convert, I am a faithfull, practicing muslim, since I already believe in Jesus pbuh as the messiah, I wanted to look at how he was viewed in the early churches. So before people are trying to convert me, don't worry I am critical of any religion so I know what I believe.
Lastly I want to finish with a sentence from the Quran, to illustrate how Muslims view Jesus pbuh;
[The Day] when Allāh will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."

The more you study Islam alongside Christianity and Judaism, the more you realize (1) how much of Judaism was an attempt to remember the distant past by iron age people with all kinds of ridiculous superstitious laws, (2) how much of Christianity is based on a couple centuries of fan fiction devoted to rumors about a guy who pissed off a few Romans, written by somewhere gullible people who desperately needed some hope in their lives, and (3) how much Islam derives from how a man with a seizure disorder trying to recite those Christian and Jewish texts by memory, getting key details wrong and revising others for literary effect - and then deciding to use it to create a conquest empire.
@@twistedblood234 the biblical numbers issue is a famous one. Depending on which book you are looking at, it's either the use of numbers for poetic effect (especially in Genesis and Exodus, but also Revelations) or a scribal error made when the next was being copied by hand.
*Biblical inerrancy" is a fairly modern Protestant idea. Few literate Christine or Jews would have promoted that idea at all for the first 1800 years during which the Christian Bible has existed. Any modern person who knows the basics of how the Bible came to be rejects it too, even if they are Christian.

This lesson is so enriching and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to spreading the truth and good news in such a refreshing way!
I'm Muslim and have been a big fan of yours for ages and I absolutely love this series. The passion you put into it and how much respect and love you have for Jesus is just inspiring. Even though Abrahamic religions disagree on a few matters I think it's important to see the beauty in our differences and this was such an interesting video! I love seeing the people in the comments from all religious background appreciating Biblical lore.
this is so nice to hear. we are indeed both Abrahamic religions and both worship Yahweh and should see one another as family who can amicably disagree on certain issues. God bless you and yours.
I am hindu, I don't believe the abrahamic God but abrahamic religions and its various interpretations and scriptures have always interested me. Wendis videos are always dope and informative as well
It's all about loving eachother
You should check out Al Muqaddima on youtube, im not muslim but i like learning about it and its history through him for the same reasons i come to wendigoon. I mean you probably know most of it but the guy seems to really love making the videos
@@sarnol8973 God bless you too 😊
There is definitely room for a part two! The book of Noah, the book of Moses, book of Jubilee. Books all about angels and Giants!
The Book of Enoch is probably the one I find the most fascinating, not because I believe it to be real but because if there's any figure in the Old Testament I WISH we knew more about, it's him.
Like, Genesis just casually throws him in in the list of Adam's descendants and implies he was so righteous or learned that he ascended (or "God took him")... and it's just never addressed again by anyone in the entire rest of the Bible.
Even now speculation abounds about what it means, whether it's that he uniquely died and went to heaven unlike EVERYONE ELSE in the OT prior to Christ opening the gateway to salvation, or if it's being wholly literal. And either case has INSANE implications about the man himself and the very nature of salvation during that era (at the very least).
I know the general interpretation from old traditions is that he was so righteous that rather than let him be tainted by the world God let him die before his time, but even that is extrapolating a lot from very little.
And as far as the contents of the Books themselves, they're bizarre and fascinating to say the very least.
In my Protestent Bible the Book of Moses is there, in the Catholic + Orthodox is it not? Thanks:)
@@audriccherrey1499 Uhh... I don't think that's part of the Masoretic Text, and I know for a fact it's not part of the Deuterocanon. So neither catholic, orthodox, nor mainline protestantism has it.
@@warbossgegguz679 oh my bad lol, I looked back in it and it is just explaining *why* the Books of Moses aren’t in it. Thanks for helping, I’ve just started to read and was prepping for today
I would also like to hear the Testament of Solomon, since I think that's where we get the whole 72 demons thing from, I think?
Just found your channel and love your work - never thought I’d find a 2hr video on this content so interesting
I listened to this whole thing while doing a puzzle. I love Bible content-- if you wanna keep going, I'll definitely be here to watch and listen!!
As a Christian, it is so wonderful to see an actual Christian make these amazing videos! It means more when someone who actually cares about the bible talk about it, and this was a fascinating subject, thank you so much for making it!
It just goes to show that EVERYONE can be a nerd! One of us! ❤️
And the study of religion is always the study of history, and is frankly fascinating.
It’s as real as the looney tunes
Wendigoon's account of his faith stunned me, as usually happens to me when someone popular announces their faith in Jesus Christ. Work of the Holy Spirit.
@@maccamachine Well the looney tunes is pretty real, seeing as it's a TV show which hundreds of animators have made it since 1930. plus I am able to see it and understand it. please rethink your argument, it's pretty shit.

I absolutely love when Wendigoon gets teary-eyed when he starts getting into his beliefs. That kind of emotion makes it so clear just how much this means to him. Seeing him talk about mercy at 1:00:00 made me want to cry too
I feel the same way when I think of the endless love of Christ.
As someone who doesn't fully believe in gods but is still quite spiritual. It makes me cry as well when hearing of endless love...
And there's so much to be said about the way he speaks, unlike the way some people speak, just to manipulate or to sound righteous. He speaks with knowledge, integrity, and an open heart and mind. Every word careful and respectful but he gets every point across perfectly.

Stellar content, my friend, your videos fascinate me. Your ability to interpret and present this material is remarkable.
Thanks for this content, love the humor and modern perspective!
I’m not religious but am always so enthralled with whatever wendigoon is speaking about. Made me appreciate the tales of the bible much more than my forced sunday churches growing up. Respect dude!
I think one big difference is that you were forced to go to the church, probably too early, Wendigoon uploaded this and you came here to listen voluntarily.
The stories of the bible are just that, historical stories....... Not "tales" ........ Just know this, that nothing not one single thing within the bible has been proven to be false, there are still things yet to be proven true (but more and more things are being proven true year after year) but nothing has been proven to be false :)

I for one am new to the channel and I greatly enjoy it, but had no idea that you were of faith (cuz I'm new not cuz of any other reason) but I think it's awesome that you covered such a topic the way you did and it makes me wanna be more involved in the channel. Kudos my brother 🤘
Honestly Wendigoon, a 7 hour video does not sound bad at all. I've never had a speck of interest in the bible, but watching your videos about it, tearing up while talking about the Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost, it got my attention insanely quickly. :)
I mean, at least a few of us here have watched through the entire 9 hour long conspiracy theory iceberg. 7 hours of noncanon books of the Bible would be a treat.
i grew up extremely Christian in a very prejudice situation. i grew to hate the church and strayed away from faith due to the hate and judgement i saw in the religion growing up. i have been a wendigoon fan for over a year now and watching his Bible lore videos has me looking into my faith again. i find myself at night praying and asking for a path to Jesus again because of men like isaiah. thank you for your passion and intelligence which makes religion not only interesting again, but comforting to know Christians that are as inclusive as you exist.
Jesus was all about caring for the dregs of humanity. Homeless, foreigners, tax collectors, thieves, murderers, prostitutes. He welcomed those who needed support the most.
I'm happy for you!
I'm not even Christian, but this is dope.
That's awesome :)
Isaiah reminds me of a buddy in my Christian high school. We would talk Biblical stuff, Conspiracy stuff, "Biblical Conspiracy stuff," great times. The fringe Biblical topics and lectures were always the most interesting when a teacher would bring them up.
15:40 I don’t know where you heard this but as a Catholic I’ve always heard that the word for brothers and cousins were the same, so they’re actually his cousins
This is widespread enough that even I know that version, as a second-generation "lapsed Catholic" in a largely agnostic/atheistic culture.
I would like to see more of these videos. Your doing great work.
I also love the mule part, but just because of the way you introduce it.
You introduce it as if the sisters just wandered into some random inn, clothed mule and all, and the idea that their response was even taken seriously by the innkeeper, just him being like "ah yes, I do believe that this mule, who is a mule, is also your brother. mhm. there's a miracle baby that might help in the inn, just letting you know."
it's so goofy i love it
I genuinely enjoy learning about Christianity through you because I don’t feel like you’re being pushy. I can’t really explain it, but you’ve drawn me closer to Christianity in a way that many pastors haven’t
Its the genuine free interest vs a duty to convert imo
I think a lot of Christians nowadays forget that Jesus said that the world would know His followers by their love and compassion.
Or not so much “forgot” but “reinterpreted.” For too long we’ve had people in the church who will just behave like the most vile or bigoted people and excuse themselves by calling it “tough love.”
@@cookiesandpudding8485 this is exactly what I mean!
I recommend you listen to Dr. Michael Heiser. He’s a Semitic scholar who specializes in Ancient Near Eastern cultures
@@randomango2789 nah, I'll stick with the anti semetic.
Thank you for making this video! I found it really interesting 😊 I’m not Christian, more of a Pagan tbh, but I find all religion fascinating regardless of my personal beliefs. I definitely learned a lot today! This is my first full video from you, and I can’t wait to watch many more! ❤
This was so great and enlightening! Thank you!
Even as someone who isn't Christian I always feel like your Biblical videos are pretty unbiased and I love to hear you talk about something you're passionate about. You really want to find and share truth and not further an agenda.
fully agree
i am very adverse to religion stuff in general but the fact he clearly states his biases with things makes him very comfortable to listen to
theres no hidden meaning cause he’s being so honest with exactly what hits home for him and his faith
Ngl Ik most people aren't bibilical scholars but this video borderlines misinformation with how much this guy continually reaffirms the bible... No mention of Gnosticism during the discussion of the gospel of judas? says its written by edgy kids, tf?
Tbf the line between “find and share truth” and “further[ing] an agenda” is very blurred with religious conversations because someone’s faith IS truth as far as that person is concerned, but is nothing but some personal agenda to everyone who disagrees.
@@fuwenostics don’t deserve to be taken seriously. They are in the same religious/intellectual categories as Neo-Pagans and (non-agnostic) Atheists.

It may have been in shifts, but I paid attention to all the lost books. Your longform content is my favorite!
Hey, I know this is an old vid and there is no chance of you seeing this, but i just felt let getting it out there. I have been, for most of my young life, an apostate of the protestant religion. I fully believe that my leaving of the faith was inevitable from a young age when looking back on my life, who I am, and who I was. I don't think that anything could've changed that outcome in my life. If there is someone who designed us, then they put it within my nature to leave the church. From a very, very young age, I had questions about things, and if the question didn't align with the beliefs of those around me, or they didn't have an answer, they wouldn't seek to find me an answer or challenge their own beliefs, they would just say "you only need to have faith," and faith just wasn't good enough for me. It was all the same people who said that I needed to love and respect my father despite the fact that he would blame and punish me for his shortcomings as a husband, father, and human being. Just have faith, just love. So, I stopped believing. I saw the hipocracies within the bible and those who follow it, and found I could not justifiably put faith into it or those who do. I also found that I didn't need religion. I know that I am a good person, I have meaning within my life as defined by who I am and who I want to be. I don't believe in nor do I need a promise or threat of an afterlife to live my life. I'm just going to live while I'm alive.
But for the longest time, despite saying otherwise, I held a huge grudge on Christianity, and further Christians. It did not help when a lot of people say things like "oh you don't have a problem with Christianity, people pervert the religion, but the religion itself didn't harm you." To me, that line has always infuriated me as it is that very religion that justified the way people treated and talked to me as I was questioning the religion. But I found you and your videos. I first saw one by suggestion of a friend that I watch you FNaF lore video, as I am a huge FNaF friend and they loved your content, so they wanted to introduce me to you with something I was already very familiar with (and the only video I've seen where I actually already knew everything you said haha). But as I kept watching, I fell more in love with your content, and then I learned that you were a Christian and, for the first time, I didn't really feel anything negative about it. You have such a way of talking and describing things that is both charasmatic, inviting, and entertaining. You make people want to feel passionate about the things you are passionate about, you draw us in, and even if it's something we don't like, you make us want to watch it, for your sake more than anything, and we come out on the other end feeling better for it.
I'm not going to lead this message into saying that you reconverted me to Christianity. I don't think anyone or anything less than Jesus Christ himself, undeniably in front of me, could do that. That being said, you have helped me overcome my distaste in the Christian religion and, although I am not a Christian and do not hold the Bible to be holy or historical, you have revitalized my childhood interest in the lore of Christian faith. While I don't think I'll study the Bible like I used to, I definitely enjoy hearing those who do and are passionate about it talk about the stories that they hold dear,.
damn that’s deep
dang
I would highly recommend the channel Esoterica if you want to learn more about obscure religious lore. His videos delve into very complex topics, but they are fascinating as all hell (no pun intended). He also speaks from a Jewish perspective, but he isn't afraid to historicize heavily controversial topics such as the origin of God (Yahweh). He speaks very eloquently and with great intelligence. Can't recommend him enough.
As one of those alleged "twelve people" who stayed from beginning to end, I had a great time watching and listening along. Lost books from the Bible have always been a fun topic for me to occasionally return to, and I loved seeing your take on them. I would definitely return for more. Gotta say though, I was expecting to see Enoch get mentioned in here, so its omission was a surprise for me. Not a deterrent or a disappointment; just a surprise. Maybe the Book of Enoch will be mentioned in a later video. Possibly? Hopefully?
Enoch is absolutely wild since it was so clearly edited later on by multiple people and it gets into angels and demons and whatever. A fascinating read nonetheless
Enoch is included in some versions of the Bible, namely the Ethiopian Bible, so as he said in the video, he’s not including any books that can be seen as canonical in any way.
For someone who is not religious at all, these videos are honestly some of your coolest work in my opinion. It’s fascinating to understand the rabbit hole of something that is apparently way deeper than I thought.
Same here
same, i like how passionate and funny he is abt biblical stuff, just having fun
Oh yeah, there are reasons for canonicity to be hotly debated in some cases, and certain books... are off the deep end heresy.... not regular heresy, but the sort of vile heresy that invites eternal damnation.
I share the same sentiment 😊
It's nice to see someone who actually digs into theology, rather than just working from a surface-level understanding of Christianity.
Great job dude! Keep these coming!

I have read alot of them and they're so cool , my favorite is the gospel of Thomas , one cool thing it says is "the man and woman will become 1 ,, and that 1 will become nothing , because we're the beginning is , there the end will be"
"I believe there should be no closed doors when it comes to knowledge" is one of the most inspiring things I've heard from a Christian since I lost my own faith. Maybe if I had had a pastor as openminded as Wendigoon, I would still be a believer.
Agreed
We don't live in a lovecraftian world where there are things that will kill us or drive us insane if we knew about them
With very small limitafions (i.e stuff that's concealed for respect tp a disease dor similar, or stuff that jist nobkdy wants to know like the detials of how two people fuxk), all knowledge should be free and aviable and the pursiit of lnowlesge should be encouraged

Its true to a point. If the acquisition of said knowledge requires sin, its still a nono
Sounds pretty Tzeenchy to me
Don't blame humans for your belief. Blame the existence/nonexistance of god.
Learn for yourself the slavery passages in Leviticus. Read about Jephthah's daughter. Read about Genesis' firmament, the fallacy of divine hiddeness, see how many legs Leviticus 20 says beetles and grasshoppers have, research how we have no original copies of Biblical books, learn how Moses never wrote the Torah and use that as a springboard for just how many authors there actually are who chopped and edited and twisted the Bible from a polythiestic text to a monotheistic one (Baal was actually considered a legitimate god, learn about it)
I primarily cite divine hiddeness and god's condoning the fate of Jephthah's daughter as primary reasons that keep my from believing in, much less worshipping, Abrahamic gods.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I'm dying of laughter when you mentioned about a group of women crying over that the mule was their brother. 😭😭😂😂🤣🤣
Loved this so much! I've always wondered about the supposed "other books" and this was just perfect. Informative and funny!
I grew up Lutheran and part of our Sunday school classes was the occasional visit to other religious services and talk with their leaders afterwards (Catholic, protestant, Jewish, Sikhs [it was the Milwaukee area so there’s a ton of Sikhs]) and I remember talking to our pastor about how interesting I found a lot of of scripture and stories that weren’t part of the Bible we studied really neat and he encouraged me to read whatever I wanted because it all has something to say about my own faith just by virtue of ME reading it. I don’t really keep the faith anymore but that has always stuck with me.
Oh hey another Milwaukee person! Milwaukee is extremely diverse religion wise, I've had Muslim/Jewish/jahovas witness/Christian friends and they've had me, who's an atheist or at most agnostic. It's pretty beautiful having so many perspectives
The part about the three Wise Men being Zoroastrian does make some sense. The wise me are often called the Magi, which is a term used in reference to Zoroastrian priests of that era(which is also where we get the word magic and mage).
It makes total sense with the time period
I absolutely love your passion for this subject.
I've studied these but as a beleiever this was a great refresher and entertaining. Keep up all your vids!
Let me just say as a Christian myself you have gone a long way in restoring my faith, you are exactly the kind of Christian that I want to be like, you are passionate without being judgmental and every time you talk about God and The Bible it ignites the same fire in me as I felt when I first discovered faith. It’s really easy to get bogged down by my own bad experiences with Christian’s but knowing that there are people like you out there is a great comfort.

Yes, I grew up Christian (I'm not anymore), but I feel like I never actually learned anything about the Bible in church. These videos help me get a good idea of what Christians who are actually educated on their text believe. Plus he gives us good historical context when he can and I appreciate that too.
Amazing video! Thanks for making it❤
I actually love the long, in-depth videos discussing and theorizing about Christianity. I'm not religious myself, but learning about it is still very fascinating to me. But it's a massive subject that's hard to breach into, especially the weird, obscure stuff.
The combination of your talent for thorough research, having a friendly, casual vibe while also clearly being incredibly passionate, your ability to balance humor and presentation with respect for the things you're talking about, and your... _Wendigoon-y_ personality makes it easy, engaging, and very entertaining to learn about.
You always clarify that you're not trying to proselytize at people, but honestly, the disclaimer never even feels necessary; you don't give off a preachy vibe to begin with.
@Mr. Kitty Saves The World You should check out some of Michael Heiser's lectures, he has a very interesting take on the biblical narrative.
Jordan Peterson’s lecture series on the Old Testament are insanely good. Really shows how transcendently wise this ancient book is. Thousands of years later, the wisdom still holds true and the truths it reveals about human nature hold up and should be discussed more.

Well my friend I can offer you such an account. A story of my life goes a bit like this, and I dont want you to feel bad for me or pity me. I simply tell this story to show people why I believe in what I do
My father was very hard on me growing up because he wanted me to succeed in life. He wanted me to know what hard work looked and felt like. It wasnt very often I heard my father say the words "Im proud of you" so I did a lot of things to try to impress him. When i was 14 my grandfather passed away and it was a very sudden and shitty thing to have happen. Well at the funeral everything seemed numb, just bizare. Well it all came to a head when my cousin told me how I was my grandfathers favorite of all his grandchildren. It made me incredibly sad because I didnt see him often so I didnt get many chances to deeply connect with him. Well when the time came I, my father, my uncle and my cousin carried my grandpa to his grave. I was deeply depressed because my grandpa was my hero. He taught me a lot in the times I did see him. A month later my grandma died as well. Rinse and repeat the hell we went through with burying mg grandfather. Well everyone was deeply depressed, especially my dad and I. I cried myself to sleep most nights from the pain i felt in my heart. I was failing in school, I believed whole heartedly that my dad hated me because I wasnt nearly as smart as him. Well I took his pistol and I attempted to shoot myself. It didnt work cause the gun jammed twice. Then I went upstairs to my room and wailed believing I was such a failure I screwed up my own suicide. I then tried eating a whole bottle of pills and I threw them up that night. I woke up thr next day and at one point I was so angry that I screamed at the sky I hated God and id never forgive him for taking them away. He took two people I needed now more than ever. I renounced my faith and wanted nothing to do with it. Well a few days later I saw a bible on the seat of my truck and I asked my dad what it was. He told me it was my grandma and grandpas last gift to me. It had my name in it and said "we love you and are so proud of the path your walking. Always remember even when were gone, were still with you in your heart. We love you so much. Grandma and grandpa." I wept right there and told my dad everything. I told him how much I hurt and how I hated myself and believed he did too. And how badly I wanted to end my life. He started to cry too because he couldnt bear the thought of losing his one and only son. He told me "Son, ive never hated you. In the years ive been alive everything I ever did was for you, your mom and your sister. I was so excited when you were born I couldnt contain my excitement. I love you and ill always love you, you never let me down I swear." I begged God for forgiveness and I apologized for how simple minded id been. Ever since then ive followed the bible much closer and much harder

Yeah, it’s nice to see a sort of interest in the “lore” of Christianity grow throughout the years due to varieties of factors (mostly Biblically-accurate angels rightfully becoming darlings of multiple horror/art communities).
I’m happy religion isn’t as taboo of a subject anymore, it’s fun to talk about. Helps provide inspiration for tons of gorgeous artwork too!
Honestly I would watch the full 7 hour video if you did it. I’ve already seen the conspiracy theory one twice. This stuff is just so interesting
Keep doing what you're doing. 👏🏼 Great content.
I haven’t seen many of your videos but it did come as a surprise that you are religious. As a Christian myself, it is refreshing to see a person that is christian, very open to learning and seems like a very cool person. I feel like a lot of religious people frown upon looking at their religion critically but I think it has the potential for one’s faith to grow.
Also I love the fact that you also deep dive to myth, lore and the supernatural - something that a lot Christian’s don’t like to talk about.
It's not surprising, he made plenty of biblical related videos in the past and mention some of them in the conspiracy iceberg video. Not to mention he has a playlist of his Sunday school teachings, which btw, he's a Sunday school teacher.
@@Web720 like I said, I haven’t seen many of his videos- and the ones I have seen are relating to the supernatural. So you can imagine my surprise.
@@PukingPanda Whoops, somehow skimmed right past that, sorry.
@@annieareyouok9028 it's against our religion, but no one will go to hell for just being lbgtq+. On top of this, do not think that all Christians hate lgbtq+ and want them to die, because the Bible specifically teaches us to love our neighbor. (Edit: this "love our neighbor" phrase means to treat anyone with kindness and care. In the grand scheme of things, helps get people into a religion yknow)
😎👍
@@firen0136 you will go to hell if you are lgbtq+ unless you repent and truly believe in him.
as somebody who isn’t a christian, and doesn’t believe in anything religious whatsoever, this was really awesome to watch. i find the history of religion to be fascinating and i’ve loved your explanations and stories for everything. this was very enjoyable and if you uploaded any more, i will be tuning in. learning more about why some things are considered cannon over others and the people behind the scriptures and stories was great :)
same here, i completely agree
@@d.darling.honeyboy I would just like to third this sentiment
I fourth this statement
I love seeing how religion evolves and how they overlap, even if they've never interacted. one of my favorite examples of this is Dionysus and Jesus. while their stories are very different, each figure has themes of rebirth and persecution. and also their love of wine lol
Fizzifth!
I would like to sixth this statement and conform that you Anna Melanie are our true lord and savour
i’ve been waiting for someone to make a video on this
