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.
I loved this video , you genuinely without overstating it , brought me to the faith, I'm 20 and I've had depersonalization/derealization disorder since I was 18 after I got crossfaded at a graduation party and had a panic attack because of how drunk/high I was. I snapped out of it miraculously 3 days ago, and I genuinely felt the presence of a higher power . After that I researched for hours , studying the Bible and watching your videos along with other channels on UA-cam like cliff knietchle . And I am genuinely the happiest I've ever been , I have glow about me now that everyone in my life has taken notice to , people love to talk to me and see me as a light in the dark and genuinely I give all the credit to God , he's taken so much pain and anguish off of my shoulders but for as much credit as I give God I just wanted to throw it out there to get it of my chest , thank you man so much for making these incredible videos your making a difference ,not only in my life but so many others
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
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
@@unknownstudio4733 If someone touched and healed me, I would be in a constant state of wondering what the fuck is actually going on (is he the/a savior, am I crazy, is this a trap?!)
@@callithasmed8468 I would say like not fully trust him but like get to know that person some of those people are actually people with gift from the Holy Spirit provided by God but some people are demonic people like satanic people
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.
@@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)
@@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.

@@TwitchyTopHat1 Wendigoon was focusing on the New Testament canon, the book of Enoch is part of the Old Testament. I would find it interesting if he made a part two and talked about this though. I for one was surprised by the fact that he didn’t talk about the shepherd of Hermas, though of course it is it’s own topic in of itself, ReligionForBreakfast made a very good video on the subject if you’re interested.
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.
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 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... Faith is weird....
The acts of Pilate having Beelzebub going on a massive rant about Jesus’ perfection just gives me the mental image that he’s a closeted fanboy and I find that hilarious.
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” 😂

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.

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
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.
@@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.
I'm an electrician and this really helps pass time. You're not just background noise. Everything you say is interesting. Thanks for helping me get through my shift
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
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
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
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.”
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.
I’ve been waiting for this video for a looong time! Aside from my time at university, Ive never met other young people who care about historical Biblical history as much as I do. This is SO solid and informative! I believe this information should be accessible to everyone and you did an amazing job conveying such dense material. Thank you for being you and for making this!
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,.
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.
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
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.
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.
It all lives here…n the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human.

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!
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’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 grew up Methodist 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
@@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.
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
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.
thank you deeply for this Wendigoon. I have suffered with my identity when it comes to faith due to certain pressures and seeing you embrace yours so freely and genuinely and reminding me of the spark Christianity gave me while growing up has given me a lot of clarity. this was an awesome, extremely intriguing rabbit hole and I’d love to see you cover the apocrypha
Sometimes one needs to lose faith first before regaining it. Happened to me, too. Just shed all the stuff taught to kids and learn it anew. That's what worked for me.
@@MrSeedi76 Amen brother. It had so much familiarity that I sat it on the backburner and then it got cold. Instead of trying to reheat that staleness I needed to refill my pot
Make sure to keep an open mind. One should never be afraid to doubt or ask questions. If anyone reacts negatively to genuine inquiry on these subjects, it is often wise to continue that line of questioning, if perhaps elsewhere.
"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
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.
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.
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.
@@Jake_Broer “treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector." - Jesus “"It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” - Jesus Sounds like discriminating to me. Also the Seven Woes he discriminates against the rulers and lawyers
@@hemlockolympic the clear contradictions in the accounts of the same story. And dont even start with that “each author wrote what he saw” BS. No other books claim to be the word of God! THERE SHOULD BE NO CONTRADICTIONS IF GOD TOLD THEM WHAT TO WRITE! Example; the four resurrection accounts could not all have happened, five if you count Acts’ post resurrection, and 6 if you count the times Paul mentioned it. Read all 6 and point out the contradictions there are dozens
I love the idea of Mary and Joseph just sitting there and baby Jesus is talking like “I will be crucified in 30 years” and his parents are just going “wat”
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.
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.
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.
@@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) 😎👍
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 Baptist (now agnostic) its so nice to listen to someone talk about the (not) Bible outside of the context of me being the evil and unworthy of life.
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.
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.
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.
I grew up relatively free in my beliefs and have found God in the past few years. Through your videos ive come to understand the bible and christianity in a whole different and more meaningful way instead of just the “boring texts” but a message or a story that you can apply to daily life, and i really appreciate that! Keep doing you man!
No. Don’t allow this man to be the thing that makes your faith come to life. If you aren’t doing the research and reading yourself. If u aren’t looking at scholars interpretation Of these ancient text. If u are just watching videos and feel better about your faith from it cause u think you’ve learned something then u are still lost. God isn’t real but a concept and a metaphor for nature itself. The meaning of life is to live and experience. Love and joy and give time to those u love. Time is the most important gift u can give. That way u will get closer to god
I left Christianity (southern baptism) when I was around 13 I’m 22 now but I still love to do deep dives into different religions. I grew up with a muslim dad (who is agnostic now) and a southern baptist mom so things were always kinda complicated. But being able to just see everything from a completely outsider view as stories/history makes it like a hobby for me. I have no limits, I’ve looked into Zoroastrianism to occultism to paganism to Judaism, everything can be interesting. What I really really appreciate about Wendigoon is that while he himself is Christian, he doesn’t force it on viewers really, he just tells it like history which is perfect for someone like me, and other curious people I’m sure. I love hearing things that I remember hearing in church when I was young, but being older now and being able to understand it more.
@@cinnamoncigarettes Ten minutes in and he's repeating misinformation. He isn't forcing anything in any obvious way, but he is treating a spiritual narrative as fact when it really isn't.
@@EgoX369 Lol you're telling someone they're being religious incorrectly. There's no reasonable interpretation of what he said where you can reply "no" xD ridiculous troll
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
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.
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.
I think your religious videos are my favorite that you produce. I know most people will come here for the spooky stuff, but man, the way you talk about religion is so unique. I think most of that is that you're not afraid to talk about what other Christians are and I find that so very interesting, and has made me find my faith again and feel even stronger in my beliefs. Thank you Mr. Wendigoon for being the pastor I wish I had as a kid
Check out Matt Whitman’s channel, he’s a Protestant that tours different churches and usually sits down with the pastor for an overview of their beliefs. It’s neat to get a good look at other denominations and their worship spaces.
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.
@@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
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." Quran [5:110]
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.
@@RobespierreThePoof seizure? How did u thought revelation came down? Not only the last prophet had revelation, also the past prophets. Everyone described it as something heavy. It’s an out of body experience that only prophets go through. And the quran is an original it’s not based on the bible or jewish text. Those have segments of truth in it. But truth ultimately comes from God. The Quran is revelation and it shows u never read the quran. Claiming it comes from the previous texts is only ignorant people say
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 :)
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
I love all of the strange and interesting Christianity stuff that you delve in to. As a Christian myself, it's refreshing to see a creator that can make videos around the subject that still treat it respectfully
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!
As a Christian myself, it is so nice to have a youtuber I really like and trust also be a Christian, thank you Wendigoon for sharing your faith. It means a lot to me.
Knowledge is knowledge is power. Its completely agnostic. Some of its unbelievably nasty but its still knowledge. I saved a friends life because I read about the symptoms of syphilis in a Roald Dahl story. Knowledge. I know about unit 731 and why Lyme Disease is called Lyme disease (don't look either up if you have a weak stomach. *I really mean it* ). Knowledge. History is history. It's fact. Martin Luther burped out a kid who burped out her kids leading to a chap called Paul von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg - look him up.. WW2 cos a whiney (proto) kraut didn't want to pay for the new church roof... Knowledge. Give Arminius or Martin Luther a Heather Taffett Haircut™ and no WW2.. And no Cold War... Whether someone is a Godbotherer or not is utterly irrelevant. PS: The Jews came up with honour killings, not the Muslims, they bequeathed that little gem in the 9th century from the Torah... But hey, let's blame the Muslims anyway.. Sigh.
What i love about Wendigoon is that he simply integrates the fact that he's Christian when it becomes relevant to his presentation of the subject mater. he's very mater of fact about it.
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).
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.
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.
@@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.
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Personally, I am definitely interested in this type of content as I am fairly new to actually reading the Bible myself and so glad that I didn’t take others word for it because it’s been the BEST tool to growing my faith !
As a Catholic, I just wanted to say thank you for acknowledging the differences in the various Bibles with respect. I would absolutely love to see you sit down with the books you might be less familiar with from other denominations and talk about the differences between our faiths! Love your work and your respect for the Word, in all its forms. Much love, can't wait for more!
It's truly gratifying to hear/read educated deep dive examinations of world history and culture by someone who can question the status quo with intelligence, precision, levity and strong critical thinking skills. Based.
Honestly and ironically I've learned more about the Christian religion from this channel in the last year than I did in 15/20 years of growing up in church. They don't really like questions lol. Not religious these days but Wendi really makes it hard to not love his content
True lol. I asked a question about evolution and everyone laughed at me and called me a chimp. This was at a protestant school when I was like grade 2.
I am a teacher at a Protestant school and I love questions! Its the main way I teach is answering my students questions. Would happy to converse with anyone who wants to! 😁
As someone who has never followed a religion, I am very passionate about learning various religions. I went to Christian youth clubs for years just to study. I was honest to them about my lack of belief yet they took me in and happily taught me all I could learn. Now as an adult I love your Christianity videos. I tell all my friends and co workers the varying stories and encourage them all to watch your videos. The dantes inferno and paradise lost videos are my all-time favourites. I've retold the storys many a time to those who'll listen. Sometimes even changing the wording and using some more modern scenarios and expressions to help people learn. Thank you wendi. As someone who has never followed a religion and as a child despised it, you've brought me so much happiness and joy through religion. Thank you
Hi UK Christian here, can I just say you are such a joy to listen to, I have laughed so much, you make these stories fun to listen to. This is my first time listening/watching one of your videos but I think you’re really cool. Thank you
As a non religious person, the way you tell these stories and your enthusiasm about them makes me realize that somehing I wrote off becuase of the negative stigmas around it have a lot to say and have deeper meaning than what it is often twisted to be for the gain of many. And it makes me want to watch a 48 hour video of you explaining the entirety of the Bible in detail.
I got expelled and sent to a private Christian high school and let me tell ya. Christianity is the only religion that is full proof and backed by science. Take a defending the faith class or just start asking questions and you’ll find the answer is Jesus. Good luck :D
@@ryanedwards7298 that’s factually wrong. Scientifically speaking, most things in the bible don’t have a way of applying the scientific method to analyze it’s authenticity, so it can’t be backed by science for this very reason. You taking the fact that scientists can’t falsify the claims of the bible and saying “that’s because god” doesn’t make it be actually god. That’s just your faith that it’s god, but you can’t say it is backed by science. Faith is faith, science is science and faith isn’t science.
Even as someone who was raised in a Atheist household, I could listen to Wendigoon talk about Bible for hours, with an open heart for understanding faith and an open mind for different beliefs. While I stay non religious due to my lifestyle and mostly just going down my own path, I fully appreciate the beautiful symbolism in the Biblical writing and I can stand by lot of things that were said in it.
The Bible is an important part of human history and culture especially in Western and Middle Eastern societies and even if you don't believe it as a holy book it's still an important read and books like revelations is just plain entertaining to read on it's own because how wild and confusing it is
Bruh half of that shitty book is just boring genealogy and most of the rest is their “god” telling them to do genocide, that it’s okay to own slaves, and that women are property. I’m all for people studying it as an influential piece of literature, but to take it seriously or believe any of its claims is just ridiculous.
@dixen While you are correct the Bible is written to give messages through stories, those messages are not what you make of them. They are made by God to guide you in a certain way and to teach you the truth.
Man, the moment you started tearing up, I knew you were feeling that same presence I feel sometimes whenever I talk to my appointment driver, who just so happens to be a pastor. To be spiritually touched by something far beyond your own comprehension is nigh-unexplainable, and it's something you can't really control but in a good way
@Wendigoon when you were talking about Jesus on the cross and how he spoke forgive them I may be wrong but it seemed as if that broke you down and I know it brings me to tears thinking about his love for us and what we put our Lord through smh often times I just fall on my knees repeating 'im sorry' and 'forgive us'.
I'm Buddhist and was raised agnostic, but I love watching your videos on Christian literature sm, you make it so interesting and do a great job breaking it down for people like me who don't have all the context!! 😭😭
Check out scholarly channels like Religion for Breakfast, Let's Talk Religion, or Esoterica for info. He's good at an intro, but there are some big inaccuracies going on.
I’m not particularly religious but these videos you’ve made on Christianity and the “fan fictions” surrounding it I find fascinating. I appreciate your way of entertaining us in a subject not many of us are probably in tune with.
I'm not a spiritual nor a spiritual man, but I do have a fascination with world religon especially the currently practiced faiths and you do an amazing job of talking about, to where it doesn't feel preachy. It feels like it comes from a genuine place of passion and I think that's why I like you as a content creator. I found you from the various podcasts you're on or have been on and have loved every appearance. You're doing great work man!
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.
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
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
@@synshenron798 I'm gonna sound like a dick here and I really don't care. What's the point of your story? Other than life beat you down to the point that you couldn't stand on your own and needed to fall back a religion as a crutch and coping mechanism.
@@zakkmylde1712 I mean you can see it that way. The point was that even when I gave up on God and wanted nothing to do with him he still watched out for me. How you want to word it is up to you
I think the best part about these kind of videos is the fact that Wendigoon is so passionate but at the same time he doesn't come off as pushy or tries to go beyond the subject and tries to sell you religion, he just tells you how the story goes, and his personal opinion (Plus the jokes are always welcomed to lighten the mood as well hahaha) and then continues, I am not a religious person at all, but his videos are legit the most sincere looking out of all of the other "Religious" channels out there (Even tho this is not one of those) Mad respects and I hope he continues to make videos for the years to come
As a Christian, i can agree with everything you’re saying. They are extremely sincere, and i love that he focuses on topics that are often frowned upon in the church. It allows religious folk like myself to gain more information on these topics and understand them from a historical, theological, and honestly entertainment perspective. Wendigoon is the best.
He does make some pretty easily debunked claims, like the idea that the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John were actually written by their namesake disciples. Almost no biblical scholars believe this, certainly none taken seriously. This claim alone severely undermined his credibility in my books.
As a truck driver who has a ton of time to kill on the road but not a lot of time to study the Bible or go to church at home I have watched all Bible podcasts with lore lodge and you and watch all your religious videos I wanted to say thank you for helping me strengthen and learn more about my faith in a way people who can only listen have a way to enjoy your content and I would 100% like longer and more videos like this because I have 6 hours left in my drive And I’m currently out of things to listen to so i guess I’ll just listen to the bellied up at the bar podcast some more
I know you sent this seven hours ago, so hopefully you're finished with this drive, but I know the pain of having time to kill and only being able to listen. I don't have religious suggestions, but I'm a big fan of the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back for my long rides and long work shifts, it's a "bad book book club". If you have any suggestions of your own, I'd love to hear them! :0 I need more to listen to, hahaha.
Both The Bible Project and Andy Woods have some really good videos on Biblical stuff if youre interested. I found them helpful in making a lot of the more technical stuff both fun to listen to, and easy to understand :)
@@debayeuxchats5607 don’t really have any other biblical things to list but I enjoy the you betcha podcast and the bellied up to the bar pod cast on spectrum there usually a good laugh
47:54 man, that hits hard. I know these are non canonical. And could be all stories and everything like that. But, just the thief bringing his cross to show everyone that this is his payment to come into heaven is really amazing
I mean there's a reason early Christians clung on to these so tightly prior to the ecumenical councils. They were inspiring in many respects, but at the same time contradictory and heretical in others.
I reccomened this to my students of religion students to watch if they want as an option for their homework, am really looking forward to hearing their thought on the books. As a religion teacher ive used a few of your videos in class as you have such an entertaining and honest perspective / storytelling.
I'm pretty agnostic, but I will sit through every single religious or non religious 2-6 hour video you post. I appreciate how well researched and spoken you are, and also the general goofy humor. Please keep doing these and don't you dare feel like you have to cut them down to be shorter!
"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
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.
Hey dude, you are quite literally the most humble person I've seen on UA-cam, and the most genuine in what you post. I love it when you share shit like this with us. And I'm so happy to see you on this journey from when I started when you were at like 240k subs, to over 2mil. Like I wondered how only 240k people loved your stuff as much as I did. And I'm happy to see you get a bigger audience and be able to do this as a job and cover the things you love. I'm not very religious but I am very spiritual and have the connection to God that I crave and need in my life, but I do love your coverage of christian and bible like topics as I grew up Christian. I'm very happy to sit here and listen to you go over lost Bible sections while I play hollow knight and dead cells on my switch, while often pausing the game to listen more intently and not just passively. Love the Bible content, love really, all of your content. Thanks for all you do man. You are seriously my favorite and most genuine UA-camr. You deserve all the success, and I hope you keep doing what you enjoy at a steady and obtainable space so you don't burn yourself out. Even 1 video a month is cool if that means I still get to see your next video the next month. You're awesome man, I'm proud to see how far you've come and I can't wait to see the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. movie and for your upcoming videos :)
Hey Goon. I just wanted to say how encouraging it is to have an influencer who’s open and steadfast in their faith. Also you should do a video on the book on Enoch!
The way you dropped every book in the bible was incredible. Raised Irish Catholic here but read the KJV, Catholics pray to Mary because she's the mother of Christ who knows him better than anyone and if you want to get through to someone, sometimes going through the mother to get to the son can work wonders. Just as we do on earth as it is in heaven. In theory. P.S Please make more videos.
This was always a major reason I rejected Catholicism. We have ONE intermediary between the Father. Going to the mother undermines that relationship and calls God a liar. It also seems to me to be enormously manipulative to try and get Jesus to do what you want by taking advantage of the parental relationship for your own devices and going through his mother instead of just approaching him directly when he was literally crucified specifically for you to be able to. This was exactly what Adonijah did and we can read 1 kings 2 to see how well that worked out for him when Solomon declared his death. The only reason to go through his Mother is if you know you are asking what you ought not and require her relationship to leverage your own ends. It's evil.
Not a terribly loving breakdown of your disagreement with one of the core pillars of roman catholicism, but incredibly accurate biblically. I had never thought of the relationship between Miriam and Yeshua that way. Thank you.
Watching Wendigoon's christian videos is always a strange experience for me since I was raised essentially sheltered from religion, so I have little to no actual understanding of any religions. And on top of that, what exposure I did have was through TV media, where a lot of movies have christians as like super psychos so I thought that's what christains were actually like (plus the only time I've been in a church I was like 4 and saw what I now realize was a statue but as a child I thought was an actual corpse on a cross hanging from the ceiling). Additional fun fact, I spent most of my childhood genuinely thinking a baptism was supposed to symbolize drowning your child so they'll be closer to god via symbolic death. So watching these is like facing child me who was terrified of christians, as a now much more educated adult
There are some really good Christians out there friend. Many will be called. Few will enter. So throughout all of time. All the humans that ever lived. Only a fraction will make. True Christians. Not uppity show boats. Not judgmental folks. True humble servants of God. Who truly live by his teachings. People preach love but hate. Loving someone who hates you is almost impossible but humbling yourself to do that is a winner for sure. Best of luck to you.
I'm sorry you experienced our religion in a wrong way. Also I don't know why western movies like to potray us like some freaks but personally I've never met another Christian like that :/ You should be aware just because someone calls themself a Christian doesn't always mean they will act like one too. Most of people use religion to their use or misunderstand it.
@@jaykelley103 ??? They aren't tho. My mom actually went to a Christian boarding school and to toe around abuse TWs, my father was absolutely not liberal from some of his reasoning behind what he did. It was more a neglect thing than being liberal. Not just religion, I didn't get exposure to a lot of things
It is highly probable that the wise men, the magi, were Zoroastrian. The story lines up with much of what we know from Zoroastrian beliefs, especially around how they would welcome "chosen" people into the world

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.

I loved this video , you genuinely without overstating it , brought me to the faith, I'm 20 and I've had depersonalization/derealization disorder since I was 18 after I got crossfaded at a graduation party and had a panic attack because of how drunk/high I was. I snapped out of it miraculously 3 days ago, and I genuinely felt the presence of a higher power . After that I researched for hours , studying the Bible and watching your videos along with other channels on UA-cam like cliff knietchle . And I am genuinely the happiest I've ever been , I have glow about me now that everyone in my life has taken notice to , people love to talk to me and see me as a light in the dark and genuinely I give all the credit to God , he's taken so much pain and anguish off of my shoulders but for as much credit as I give God I just wanted to throw it out there to get it of my chest , thank you man so much for making these incredible videos your making a difference ,not only in my life but so many others
This is beautiful my freind glad to hear it
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.

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? 🤔

@@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)

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!".

No Enoch? Odd
@@TwitchyTopHat1 Wendigoon was focusing on the New Testament canon, the book of Enoch is part of the Old Testament. I would find it interesting if he made a part two and talked about this though. I for one was surprised by the fact that he didn’t talk about the shepherd of Hermas, though of course it is it’s own topic in of itself, ReligionForBreakfast made a very good video on the subject if you’re interested.
@@abadwriter9279thx for the time stamps
he created nothing so theres nothing to find.
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
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... Faith is weird....
@@samfish2550 Faith isn't weird to me.
The acts of Pilate having Beelzebub going on a massive rant about Jesus’ perfection just gives me the mental image that he’s a closeted fanboy and I find that hilarious.

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.
Gotta love the second book. "and that child was Judas Iscariot" is legit a meme

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.”

This is SO solid and informative! I believe this information should be accessible to everyone and you did an amazing job conveying such dense material. Thank you for being you and for making this!
I should introduce you to my brother in law so he stops trying to talk to me about it 💀
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.
Woah, this comment is pretty sad. "Thanks for making me feel less bitter about Christianity."
I hope you're doing okay, buddy.

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

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.

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" ........

I grew up Methodist 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.

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!

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.
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.

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.

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.

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 Baptist (now agnostic) its so nice to listen to someone talk about the (not) Bible outside of the context of me being the evil and unworthy of life.
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.
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.
I grew up relatively free in my beliefs and have found God in the past few years. Through your videos ive come to understand the bible and christianity in a whole different and more meaningful way instead of just the “boring texts” but a message or a story that you can apply to daily life, and i really appreciate that! Keep doing you man!
No. Don’t allow this man to be the thing that makes your faith come to life. If you aren’t doing the research and reading yourself. If u aren’t looking at scholars interpretation Of these ancient text. If u are just watching videos and feel better about your faith from it cause u think you’ve learned something then u are still lost. God isn’t real but a concept and a metaphor for nature itself. The meaning of life is to live and experience. Love and joy and give time to those u love. Time is the most important gift u can give. That way u will get closer to god
I left Christianity (southern baptism) when I was around 13 I’m 22 now but I still love to do deep dives into different religions. I grew up with a muslim dad (who is agnostic now) and a southern baptist mom so things were always kinda complicated. But being able to just see everything from a completely outsider view as stories/history makes it like a hobby for me. I have no limits, I’ve looked into Zoroastrianism to occultism to paganism to Judaism, everything can be interesting. What I really really appreciate about Wendigoon is that while he himself is Christian, he doesn’t force it on viewers really, he just tells it like history which is perfect for someone like me, and other curious people I’m sure. I love hearing things that I remember hearing in church when I was young, but being older now and being able to understand it more.
I'm very glad for you. God bless! 🙏
@@cinnamoncigarettes Ten minutes in and he's repeating misinformation. He isn't forcing anything in any obvious way, but he is treating a spiritual narrative as fact when it really isn't.
@@EgoX369 Lol you're telling someone they're being religious incorrectly. There's no reasonable interpretation of what he said where you can reply "no" xD ridiculous troll
the “all twelve of you who paid attention for this long” as a quiet nod to the twelve disciples was poetic.
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.
I think your religious videos are my favorite that you produce. I know most people will come here for the spooky stuff, but man, the way you talk about religion is so unique.
I think most of that is that you're not afraid to talk about what other Christians are and I find that so very interesting, and has made me find my faith again and feel even stronger in my beliefs.
Thank you Mr. Wendigoon for being the pastor I wish I had as a kid
Check out Matt Whitman’s channel, he’s a Protestant that tours different churches and usually sits down with the pastor for an overview of their beliefs. It’s neat to get a good look at other denominations and their worship spaces.
You might be interested in Hochelaga, he makes videos about the real history behind the bible and what some confusing parts mean.
this is an incredible compliment. 👏🙌
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.

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." Quran [5:110]
@twistedblood234 re read everything Again, you are the only one who can't understand all that..
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.

The dantes inferno and paradise lost videos are my all-time favourites. I've retold the storys many a time to those who'll listen. Sometimes even changing the wording and using some more modern scenarios and expressions to help people learn. Thank you wendi. As someone who has never followed a religion and as a child despised it, you've brought me so much happiness and joy through religion. Thank you
Hi UK Christian here, can I just say you are such a joy to listen to, I have laughed so much, you make these stories fun to listen to. This is my first time listening/watching one of your videos but I think you’re really cool. Thank you
As a non religious person, the way you tell these stories and your enthusiasm about them makes me realize that somehing I wrote off becuase of the negative stigmas around it have a lot to say and have deeper meaning than what it is often twisted to be for the gain of many. And it makes me want to watch a 48 hour video of you explaining the entirety of the Bible in detail.
I’m glad that God’s word can intrigue even those of non-belief. I hope one day you will find your way to Him! God bless
same, as an agnostic, i cant believe i sat thru the entire video!! he does so well to tell the stories and his energy is nice!
I got expelled and sent to a private Christian high school and let me tell ya. Christianity is the only religion that is full proof and backed by science. Take a defending the faith class or just start asking questions and you’ll find the answer is Jesus. Good luck :D
@@ryanedwards7298 that’s factually wrong. Scientifically speaking, most things in the bible don’t have a way of applying the scientific method to analyze it’s authenticity, so it can’t be backed by science for this very reason. You taking the fact that scientists can’t falsify the claims of the bible and saying “that’s because god” doesn’t make it be actually god. That’s just your faith that it’s god, but you can’t say it is backed by science. Faith is faith, science is science and faith isn’t science.
@@MarceloZ2 For me it isn’t faith, it’s fact. I never called Christianity my faith.
Even as someone who was raised in a Atheist household, I could listen to Wendigoon talk about Bible for hours, with an open heart for understanding faith and an open mind for different beliefs. While I stay non religious due to my lifestyle and mostly just going down my own path, I fully appreciate the beautiful symbolism in the Biblical writing and I can stand by lot of things that were said in it.
The symbolism in the Bible is the point of the Bible. The meaning behind it is the one you give to it.
The Bible is an important part of human history and culture especially in Western and Middle Eastern societies and even if you don't believe it as a holy book it's still an important read and books like revelations is just plain entertaining to read on it's own because how wild and confusing it is
Bruh half of that shitty book is just boring genealogy and most of the rest is their “god” telling them to do genocide, that it’s okay to own slaves, and that women are property. I’m all for people studying it as an influential piece of literature, but to take it seriously or believe any of its claims is just ridiculous.
@dixen While you are correct the Bible is written to give messages through stories, those messages are not what you make of them. They are made by God to guide you in a certain way and to teach you the truth.

Man, the moment you started tearing up, I knew you were feeling that same presence I feel sometimes whenever I talk to my appointment driver, who just so happens to be a pastor. To be spiritually touched by something far beyond your own comprehension is nigh-unexplainable, and it's something you can't really control but in a good way
@ThVIIIta Between 0:00 and 1:54:52
I love how you casually drop the term "appointment driver" like if it's a casual thing. 😆
Is he an Uber driver or something?
@@ivanquiles4903 Sorta, he takes me to my cancer doctor for check ups and such lol
@Wendigoon when you were talking about Jesus on the cross and how he spoke forgive them I may be wrong but it seemed as if that broke you down and I know it brings me to tears thinking about his love for us and what we put our Lord through smh often times I just fall on my knees repeating 'im sorry' and 'forgive us'.
I just fell into a fit of giggles during the infancy section. The fact (in the book at least) Judas was a demon possessed boy biting people killed me
Ah, but someone has to betray Jesus for the crucifixion.
I'm Buddhist and was raised agnostic, but I love watching your videos on Christian literature sm, you make it so interesting and do a great job breaking it down for people like me who don't have all the context!! 😭😭
oh my god im literally in the EXACT same situation! :)
ohmg same exact situation !! they're so interesting to hear
Check out scholarly channels like Religion for Breakfast, Let's Talk Religion, or Esoterica for info. He's good at an intro, but there are some big inaccuracies going on.
@@jnanashakti6036 I've watched all those channels. Watch enough of their content and you will notice where they have a bias.
it seems that a lot of people raised agnostic float to buddhism and paganism. Funny
I’m not particularly religious but these videos you’ve made on Christianity and the “fan fictions” surrounding it I find fascinating. I appreciate your way of entertaining us in a subject not many of us are probably in tune with.
Check out Hochelaga, he does similar videos
These videos are the highlight of my days, and I'm atheist.
A lot of content you consume can be traced back to stories within the bible. The more you know!
I'm not a spiritual nor a spiritual man, but I do have a fascination with world religon especially the currently practiced faiths and you do an amazing job of talking about, to where it doesn't feel preachy. It feels like it comes from a genuine place of passion and I think that's why I like you as a content creator. I found you from the various podcasts you're on or have been on and have loved every appearance. You're doing great work man!
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.
I love that I can binge watch this video and FNAF lore on this channel and neither feels out of place. Keep going
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’m an atheist but also a person that enjoys seeing other people gushing over things they care about, this is wholesome as heck and I want more.
It's like a puppy with bone filled with peanut butter
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
@@synshenron798 amén 🙏
@@synshenron798 I'm gonna sound like a dick here and I really don't care. What's the point of your story? Other than life beat you down to the point that you couldn't stand on your own and needed to fall back a religion as a crutch and coping mechanism.
@@zakkmylde1712 I mean you can see it that way. The point was that even when I gave up on God and wanted nothing to do with him he still watched out for me. How you want to word it is up to you
Thank you for making this amd makin videos about the bible and stories relating to the bible. It helos more than you know
I think the best part about these kind of videos is the fact that Wendigoon is so passionate but at the same time he doesn't come off as pushy or tries to go beyond the subject and tries to sell you religion, he just tells you how the story goes, and his personal opinion (Plus the jokes are always welcomed to lighten the mood as well hahaha) and then continues, I am not a religious person at all, but his videos are legit the most sincere looking out of all of the other "Religious" channels out there (Even tho this is not one of those)
Mad respects and I hope he continues to make videos for the years to come
We get it you don’t read the Bible and it’s all a fairy tale to you just like the billions of other people who are lost and going to hell, what’s new?
As a Christian, i can agree with everything you’re saying. They are extremely sincere, and i love that he focuses on topics that are often frowned upon in the church. It allows religious folk like myself to gain more information on these topics and understand them from a historical, theological, and honestly entertainment perspective. Wendigoon is the best.
He does make some pretty easily debunked claims, like the idea that the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John were actually written by their namesake disciples. Almost no biblical scholars believe this, certainly none taken seriously. This claim alone severely undermined his credibility in my books.
As a truck driver who has a ton of time to kill on the road but not a lot of time to study the Bible or go to church at home I have watched all Bible podcasts with lore lodge and you and watch all your religious videos I wanted to say thank you for helping me strengthen and learn more about my faith in a way people who can only listen have a way to enjoy your content and I would 100% like longer and more videos like this because I have 6 hours left in my drive And I’m currently out of things to listen to so i guess I’ll just listen to the bellied up at the bar podcast some more
I know you sent this seven hours ago, so hopefully you're finished with this drive, but I know the pain of having time to kill and only being able to listen. I don't have religious suggestions, but I'm a big fan of the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back for my long rides and long work shifts, it's a "bad book book club". If you have any suggestions of your own, I'd love to hear them! :0 I need more to listen to, hahaha.
Both The Bible Project and Andy Woods have some really good videos on Biblical stuff if youre interested. I found them helpful in making a lot of the more technical stuff both fun to listen to, and easy to understand :)
I recommend dwell. It's the whole bible as an audio book. It's 6 bucks a month
@@debayeuxchats5607 don’t really have any other biblical things to list but I enjoy the you betcha podcast and the bellied up to the bar pod cast on spectrum there usually a good laugh
@@emilybrown3508 thanks buddy
47:54 man, that hits hard. I know these are non canonical. And could be all stories and everything like that. But, just the thief bringing his cross to show everyone that this is his payment to come into heaven is really amazing
I mean there's a reason early Christians clung on to these so tightly prior to the ecumenical councils. They were inspiring in many respects, but at the same time contradictory and heretical in others.
This was so great and enlightening! Thank you!
I reccomened this to my students of religion students to watch if they want as an option for their homework, am really looking forward to hearing their thought on the books.
As a religion teacher ive used a few of your videos in class as you have such an entertaining and honest perspective / storytelling.
Used my sons account so my students dont have my personal account
Wish you were my teacher
Tbh I just don’t like Kanye or nazis in general
You are the best type of teacher oh my goodness
@@uziuchiha3342 ayo??
I'm pretty agnostic, but I will sit through every single religious or non religious 2-6 hour video you post. I appreciate how well researched and spoken you are, and also the general goofy humor. Please keep doing these and don't you dare feel like you have to cut them down to be shorter!
"What I'm about to talk about has not been approved by the Vatican."
Nice reference
Reference to what? Tried looking around but I think I'm missing the joke lol
@@seanyb5289”Faith: The Unholy Trinity” video game series. I highly recommend Wendi’s vid on it and also the games themselves.

@@jakubgodlewski9104 ahhhh nice one I'll check that out
When you named every book of the bible.. very cool flex
I not only want but DEMAND you make this a series. Always love it when you talk Biblical lore. Great work, Isaiah ❤️
"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
@@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard please pursue knowledge of the alphabet m'lord
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.
Hey dude, you are quite literally the most humble person I've seen on UA-cam, and the most genuine in what you post. I love it when you share shit like this with us. And I'm so happy to see you on this journey from when I started when you were at like 240k subs, to over 2mil. Like I wondered how only 240k people loved your stuff as much as I did. And I'm happy to see you get a bigger audience and be able to do this as a job and cover the things you love. I'm not very religious but I am very spiritual and have the connection to God that I crave and need in my life, but I do love your coverage of christian and bible like topics as I grew up Christian. I'm very happy to sit here and listen to you go over lost Bible sections while I play hollow knight and dead cells on my switch, while often pausing the game to listen more intently and not just passively. Love the Bible content, love really, all of your content. Thanks for all you do man. You are seriously my favorite and most genuine UA-camr. You deserve all the success, and I hope you keep doing what you enjoy at a steady and obtainable space so you don't burn yourself out. Even 1 video a month is cool if that means I still get to see your next video the next month. You're awesome man, I'm proud to see how far you've come and I can't wait to see the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. movie and for your upcoming videos :)
Shut up man Go read your Bible King James Version and seek the truth for yourself all I hear is bs coming from your mouth!
Wonderfully said. I have been around since around 30k subs and I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.
I'm new here. What you wrote was so honest and heartfelt, I think I'll stay a while.
Liking hollow knight and dead cells is based.
Hey Goon. I just wanted to say how encouraging it is to have an influencer who’s open and steadfast in their faith. Also you should do a video on the book on Enoch!
The way you dropped every book in the bible was incredible. Raised Irish Catholic here but read the KJV, Catholics pray to Mary because she's the mother of Christ who knows him better than anyone and if you want to get through to someone, sometimes going through the mother to get to the son can work wonders. Just as we do on earth as it is in heaven. In theory. P.S Please make more videos.
This was always a major reason I rejected Catholicism.
We have ONE intermediary between the Father. Going to the mother undermines that relationship and calls God a liar.
It also seems to me to be enormously manipulative to try and get Jesus to do what you want by taking advantage of the parental relationship for your own devices and going through his mother instead of just approaching him directly when he was literally crucified specifically for you to be able to. This was exactly what Adonijah did and we can read 1 kings 2 to see how well that worked out for him when Solomon declared his death. The only reason to go through his Mother is if you know you are asking what you ought not and require her relationship to leverage your own ends. It's evil.
@@WhitePikminPro yea cuz they were asking for altar boys 😅
Not a terribly loving breakdown of your disagreement with one of the core pillars of roman catholicism, but incredibly accurate biblically. I had never thought of the relationship between Miriam and Yeshua that way. Thank you.
Or you abuse children, I hear religious folks love doing that.
That'll get to people as well.
catholicism isn’t christianity
Watching Wendigoon's christian videos is always a strange experience for me since I was raised essentially sheltered from religion, so I have little to no actual understanding of any religions. And on top of that, what exposure I did have was through TV media, where a lot of movies have christians as like super psychos so I thought that's what christains were actually like (plus the only time I've been in a church I was like 4 and saw what I now realize was a statue but as a child I thought was an actual corpse on a cross hanging from the ceiling). Additional fun fact, I spent most of my childhood genuinely thinking a baptism was supposed to symbolize drowning your child so they'll be closer to god via symbolic death. So watching these is like facing child me who was terrified of christians, as a now much more educated adult
There are some really good Christians out there friend. Many will be called. Few will enter. So throughout all of time. All the humans that ever lived. Only a fraction will make. True Christians. Not uppity show boats. Not judgmental folks. True humble servants of God. Who truly live by his teachings. People preach love but hate. Loving someone who hates you is almost impossible but humbling yourself to do that is a winner for sure. Best of luck to you.
I'm sorry you experienced our religion in a wrong way. Also I don't know why western movies like to potray us like some freaks but personally I've never met another Christian like that :/ You should be aware just because someone calls themself a Christian doesn't always mean they will act like one too. Most of people use religion to their use or misunderstand it.
@@jaykelley103 ??? They aren't tho. My mom actually went to a Christian boarding school and to toe around abuse TWs, my father was absolutely not liberal from some of his reasoning behind what he did. It was more a neglect thing than being liberal. Not just religion, I didn't get exposure to a lot of things
Any identifying label has good folk and bad folk...

It is highly probable that the wise men, the magi, were Zoroastrian. The story lines up with much of what we know from Zoroastrian beliefs, especially around how they would welcome "chosen" people into the world
