Apparently I've been gifted a channel membership without realizing it lol. I'll use this to my advantage..
Hey I checked out your playlist, nice 👍👍
Nice. Congrats!
I want a membership!
That would be us all
How do you receive and use such a thing?
Amen! Paul's writings do NOT contradict the gospels!
dang dude are you sure?
@@ayylmao2410 Honestly, I think Paul is actually kind of right, since Matthew helped confirm that people worshipped Jesus
Paul has nothing in common at all with his gospel of salvaton compared with Jesus' messages. Paul claimed that you just need to merely trust in the fact that Jesus died on the cross and rosed 3 days later while Jesus warm us all to repent and live obediently to him. If you think in anyway at all that goes with what Jesus himself said then theres something you wanna reflect on. The word believe in Matthew John is one of the most mistraslated word in the bible. Pisteuo used in the greek manuscript does not mean to believe about something; it goes fruther than that, it means to obey someone or submission to people. Across every books except everything written by Paul and Hebrews all teaches heretics and false salvation of life. James the disciple of Jesus said you must have works to be justified of getting ethernal life contrary to whatever paul bs about.
If you think that anyway who just believe on works of Christ can get entrance into heaven then I suggest you read thoroughly the scriptures on what is true and almost true.
@@ayylmao2410 paul told the believers to repent and stop sinning sorry.
@@john-ge2br ephesians 2:8-9. How does that sound to you? That God would take you in for just believing works of Christ? How is that in any way form says that Paul teaches works are needed for salvation? Read James 2:24 and the rest, and tell me how exactly how this two contrasting man are of the same God.
Just because all the book you see are in the bible does not mean all of it are from the same God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Deut 13:1-4 says God will send an apostate professing in vain of God to test whether if you even care to listen God or not. This is the sole reason why Paul is inside the bible.
Repent of your sins now and start obeying the law all times. If you fail any one of it, you can repent and obey again to God. Thats how a criminal pleads for his wrongdoings in the court, with his fines at the particular wrongdoings are then valid for the atonement of Christ to be used. Christ himself do not atone for all people except the one who repents and ask for forgiveness.
I wasn't even aware that this was an issue with skeptics. When you read Paul's letters carefully, it is obvious that he was familiar with both the life of Jesus and oral Gospel. Nice unpacking here.
Skeptics are becoming more and more unhinged from reality the more reality points to the validity of scripture.
Excellent work brother. The quality of your videos and research is very inspiring.

Theres another one: 1 Timothy 6:13 "In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you"
I'm case he didn't mention because it's not in Paul's epistles (haven't watched the vid yet, so I don't know), John 1:1-18 is another one.
@@blanktrigger8863 In the epistle say that is Paul, and the epistle say personal experiencies of Timothy that posibly only Paul knows. So if really is for Timothy, it must be wrote by Paul
If somebody faked all this stuff, they were very, very, very convincing.
And why would they fake it? What would their motivation be? They never recanted even unto their own deaths.
But there is a little problem... I'm not convinced.

I wish the this channel had a much wider reach so more people could hear you effortlessly defend the Gospel and the Message of Jesus
His defense was fantastic, but they were "Followers of The Way", NOT "Christians".
It’s called the “share” button, but yeah hosting the 700 club or taking over a mega church livestream would be AWESOME!
@@flyingmonkey3822 Oh, no! As long as we each are getting what we need, I suppose I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. But the 700 CLUB
?!?!? Oh, no!
@Archangel In the history of mankind there are well over two thousand documented gods. Why did you choose the Christian god? And what are your reasons for dismissing all the other gods?
Another proof is the Corinthian Creed which has been dated to within months, if not weeks after His ascension
I used to think that Paul's constant references to the gospels was proof that the gospels had already been written, but this way works even better because it proves the incredible accuracy and reliability of oral tradition.
Finally, someone talked about the hidden gospel without talking about the gnostic gospel.
My mentor wrote his thesis on this. I think this is a crucial aspect of the reliability of the gospel accounts. Great video IP
Is there a reconstructed "Gospel according to Paul" online?
What an intriguing topic, thanks you for the information as always!
This is brilliant, IP. Some of your best work, IMHO. Blessings from Canada!

Great stuff my friend. Keep them coming.
Great video InspiringPhilosophy! God bless you!
Even if we didn't have the four Gospel accounts, the letters of Paul, James, Peter, and early church documents are plenty to piece together the life of Jesus and, therefore, true Christianity.
Hesus hours Krishna sanskirt for Christ lord and savior Said "Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."’ Rabbi Yeshua bar yosef said Verse 1. The Lord says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet". Adoni may be translated as "my master" or "my lord", thus rendering verse 1 as "The Lord spoke to my master". Throughout the Hebrew Bible adoni refers to a human or angelic "master" or "lord". Like he said to the scribes how can the moshiachs fathers name be David? He did call him my master Rabboni (did he not)? The old babel religion polytheist doctrine of trinity over 2,000 of low vibrational idol worshipping I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” For I was baptized at the hands of Yohanan, whom you all have heard of. And afterward, it seemed to me that the heavens opened, and a dove of peace descended upon me, and i heard a voice speaking the seventh verse of the second psalm: You are a son of God; today you have come alive.
And after this, I felt driven by the spirit of God into the wilderness, where I was alone for many days, with the wild beasts, sorely troubled by this vision. It was as if Satan himself came to me and said, If you are the son of God, command that these stones become bread. But I told him, Man does not live by bread alone.
Then again, I felt as if Satan came before me and said, All the kingdoms of the earth I will give to you, if you will fall down and worship me. Again, I told him, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve, and keep his commandments.
And finally, I felt as if Satan came to me one more time and said, If you are the son of God, jump off the top of the temple, for the angels of the Lord will surely bear you up. But I told him also, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
So I realized that the reign of God did not consist of wealth and possessions, but of keeping his commandments; nor did it consist of power over kingdoms and armies, but in following in all his ways; nor can it be evidenced by signs and wonders, even by miracles, but by living by the Torah and the prophets.
But what are God's commandments? and what are his ways? They are, to love your neighbor as yourself, and to open your hand to the poor, and to loose the bands of oppression, and to undo heavy burdens. And they are more, they are to love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt, and to love your enemies, for they are your neighbors. They are to deal your bread to the hungry, and bring the homeless under your roof. The children of Ethiopia, and the Samaritans, and the Jews are alike in God's eyes; and the amme ha'eretz are worth as much to God as a rich publican or Pharisee.
Therefore I say unto you, let God reign in your hearts, and do not trouble yourself over who wears a metal crown. Do not burden yourself with wealth and possessions, for if you let anyone starve you are letting God starve. This is the meaning of the law and the prophets.The first truth we need to recognize in order to have a relationship with Jesus is that, naturally, our relationship with God is broken. We have sinned against Him. We have done things that are wrong in His sight. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). God’s standard is perfection-since He is absolutely holy-and we all fall short of that standard. We each need to humble ourselves before God and admit our sin.
Antichrist in the Catalan Atlas (1375). The label reads: "Antichrist. He will be raised in Goraym of Galilea, and at the age of thirty he will start to preach in Jerusalem; contrary to the truth, he will proclaim that he is Christ, the living son of God. It is said that he will rebuild the Temple."[30]For he truly declared, saying: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father except he shall do as I have done.’Worship
According to Yeshua, true worship takes place in the soul of the person, not under the provisions of a religious authority, nor at a designated church, synagogue or temple. True worship is not associated with a place or person outside of yourself. Yeshua taught that anyone could approach God, and that people have within themselves a power that will connect them to God, independent of anyone who claims to be a prophet or representative of God (Y:4:59-65; Y:34:50-56).term "son of God" is used in the Hebrew Bible as another way to refer to humans who have a special relationship with God. In Exodus, the nation of Israel is called God's firstborn son.[2] Solomon is also called "son of God".[3][4] Angels, just and pious men, and the kings of Israel are all called "sons of God."[5] 1 G-d his Torah his commandments Twin Judah Twin (The last super is Egyptian mythology Osiris was betrayed by his brother set) Constantines sun Jesus was betrayed by 🍽 his fictional disciple "Judah" (Jesus Barabbas) is Rabbi Yeshua bar yosef the reason why he started a insurrection against (Rome).was because he was possed by a (Elilim) Evil spirit (Garden of eden Rome) Rabbi Yeshua bar yosef 🐍 the forbidden 🚫 tree of knowledge is his (Kabbalist Teachings) Constantines 🌞 Jesus was crucified for our sins and his sun rose from the dead (3) days later = Winter Solstice (Messianic Banquet) = Rabbi Yeshuas bar yosefs unique take on seder it was.

I heard Voddie Bauchmann preach once that we have so many notes, written down by the early church fathers, that we could piece together something like 90-95% of the NT from their notes alone. Crazy

As long as you discount the 'church fathers' you don't agree with, and follow the teachings that became doctrine under the pagan roman emporer
Pagan Roman emperor? You mean Constantine, the man that disavowed his pagan gods and converted to Christianity? The faith that had already existed for around 300 years before he converted? In multiple countries spread over the whole known world? The faith that was, by that point, very well-founded in its basic tenants? You’re saying he joined the world-wide Christian community, consisting of millions of people across the known world, and then single handedly changed the religion, even in countries that he did not control? And all the millions of Christians at that time, devout believers, just went along with everything he said? Even though they would have known it to be false?
Come on guy, that’s a ridiculous thought. Yes, Constantine helped establish doctrine, but he more or less just made the doctrine that was already widely accepted official. And he wasn’t the one that created the doctrine; church fathers had been hammering out what is and is not doctrine for ~300 years before Constantine got involved. And when the doctrine was put together officially, it was not Constantine that decided what would be in it. It was the bishops of the time. Bishops who, up until that point, had been persecuted by the RE oand recieved no earthly benefit of being a Christian.
As far as “discounting” the church fathers I don’t agree with, could you enlighten me as to who specifically you are talking about?
I just pray and hope this is as dramatic as the Hidden Message of the Bible.
That video of yours literally made me cry. It's like Jesus Himself explaining to me the Scriptures and I was so, so deaf!

This is a very good way of linking the gospel accounts and Paul's letters!
@@theguyver4934Jesus literally multiplied fish and drank good ol' wine. The Bible literally has in it God allowing the Apostles to eat non-kosher meat, so no, they were not vegetarian.

Awesome video man!
Great job IP, you’re really doing incredible work and I feel very fortunate to have access to it.
I think Jesus' appearance to James would have been one of the most interesting appearances, and I wish the Gospels gave us details. It is a good argument, however, that given the Gospels didn't give us details shows they weren't just making stuff up from Paul's writings. How could you resist this story while already making stuff up?
Whenever somebody asks me, "If you could have dinner with any person, living or dead, whom would it be?" I always answer James the Brother of Jesus. It would be such an interesting conversation. "First off, can you define the word brother? A lot of theology is hanging on this." "What was it like growing up with God as your brother? Were you jealous?" "So, John wrote that you and the other brothers rejected Jesus during His life, our earliest source says Jesus appeared to you personally after His crucifixion, and Church History tells us you were the first bishop of the Church of Jerusalem. So what happened? Was that when you became convinced your lunatic brother actually was God as He claimed?"
Great video! Thank you❤😊
Thanks for your work.
This is exactly what i need to show my dad!
Paul wrote letters to people who had already heard the gospel in most cases. Like writing home about summer camp, you have no need to mention a whoke host of things because those you are writing to already knew.
Exactly. I think a convincing case has been made that Paul quotes Luke's gospel when he mentions Jesus's words at the last supper.
Since Matthew and Mark were even earlier, I have zero problems believing that all the synoptics were already written. Only John came later but still pre-70.
I also think it's very possible that at least some of what Jesus said might actually have been written down within his lifetime. He had more than enough followers who either probably could write or had access to a scribe. Let's not forget that Jesus himself could write and read. I've heard the fairytale of the "illiterate fishermen" for far too long. Jews already had their holy scriptures for quite some time. Should we really believe only Jesus was able to read but none of his followers? Honestly, I enjoy this channel but some of the takes have too much of the "air of higher criticism" around them. Like the strange take on Genesis.

5. The second is by Mark, who composed it according to the instructions of Peter, who in his Catholic epistle acknowledges him as a son, saying, ‘The church that is at Babylon elected together with you, salutes you, and so does Marcus, my son.’ 1 Peter 5:13

I was reading something from Papias, who has a disciple to the Apostles, and he said that Mark's Gospel was essentially Mark compiling a bunch of stuff Peter would say about Christ. He also mentions that Matthew was written in Hebrew, so that's pretty cool

...............................................................
in the same books [the Hypotyposes], Clement gives the tradition of the earliest presbyters, as to the order of the Gospels, in the following manner: "The Gospels containing the genealogies [i.e. Matthew and Luke], he says, were written first. The Gospel according to MARK had this occasion. As Peter had preached the Word publicly at Rome, and declared the Gospel by the Spirit, many who were present requested that Mark, who had followed him for a long time and remembered his sayings, should write them out. And having composed the Gospel he gave it to those who had requested it. When Peter learned of this, he neither directly forbade nor encouraged it. But, last of all, JOHN, perceiving that the external facts had been made plain in the Gospel, being urged by his friends, and inspired by the Spirit, composed a spiritual Gospel." This is the account of Clement. (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 6.14.5-7)

This also the presbyter used to say: "Mark, indeed, who became the interpreter of Peter, wrote accurately, as far as he remembered them, the things said or done by the Lord, but not however in order." For he [Mark] had neither heard the Lord nor been his personal follower, but at a later stage, as I said, he had followed Peter, who used to adapt the teachings to the needs of the moment, but not as though he were drawing up a connected account of the oracles of the Lord: so that Mark committed no error in writing certain matters just as he remembered them. For he had only one object in view, namely to leave out nothing of the things which he had heard, and to include no false statement among them
Hey guys im Kinda News to christianity and i just finished the NT. Could you suggest me some websites where i can See what the churchfathers taught etc? God bless you all
Such an excellent video and use of academic sources.
This is one of the things that is common sense and logic, but that I have failed to realize or even think about it. God bless and many thanks for this video 🙏👌
Good stuff! A plus research
Would love to get a list of your library if that’s possible? I add every book you reference to my Amazon cart lol
This is one of those points that should not have to be made. But you make it extremely well. Good use of sources!
Hey this was a great video! Awesome break down and linguistic analysis. One note, I feel like the title should reaaaally be changed. At first glance, I thought you were going to talk about a gnostic text! Had me worried for a moment.
Ok, that's an interesting topic, you got me there IP.
Super cool to speculate about! The only thing I would say that was left out of this is the fact that Paul was given divine revelation, and therefore could have just received this info from that. However, most of it probably was just from hearing the Gospel himself. Super interesting to think about.
He was taught for approximately 3 years before starting his own missions journey. I don't remember which book says it, but I THINK it's in Acts
Awesome stuff
Great Content, thank you.
I really love your channel. Thank you so much for your work. I would really like to get a video about Resurrection narratives
Excellent work Michael your a joy to listen to and God.has definitely filled you with wisdom.
Nice vid!!
Great content. This is why sacred tradition is so important. I think this also points to the church being much more unified than many non-Catholic/orthodox think
Your videos are the best.
Great research 👌
God bless you.
And the fact that the Tradition was prior to written Gospels undermines the whole "sola scriptura" delusion.
Excellent video! This shows the gospel predated in a reliable oral and ritualistic form before the written gospels.
@@theguyver4934 there is a reason why i said ritual. Consider reading the writings of those who knew the disciples of Jesus closely, people like Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna, and then read Irenaeus of Lyons, the disciple of Polycarp, and then go back and read the gospels and tell me again what you think the evidence is.
Beautiful
Thank you so much for this. Could you make a video talking about the sabbath and saturday/sunday? im very confused about that topic and i think many people is also.
Sabbath just mean as *rest* in hebrew. So, are you talking about Sabbath as in Genesis for all human to use as worship day or sabbath as normal rest like for preparation before festival or after work in ordinary live not worship.
Have you read Hebrews 4?
Mike Winger has content about that which can be a helpful resource for you.
Thank you!
You do well by showing perspectives of the authors behind the words written I had not considered before.
I'm always so diligent in the words written within the books that the positions of of the person's behind the hand seems to have been lost on me.

THE SOURCE(S) AND FUNCTION OF PAUL’S CITATION IN
ROMANS 11:26-27
Christopher R. Bruno
Amen❤
Honestly, I believe the introductions to the gospels in the Douay-Rheims notes that Matthew was written in 39 AD, Mark was written in 43 AD, Luke was written in 55 AD and John was written in 96 AD. The only date I believe could be earlier is Luke because Paul cannot be quoting something that hasn't been written yet and Paul knew both Mark and Luke personally and as a result would be familiar with both of their writings. The Book of Acts also ends with Paul awaiting trial and James the Brother of Jesus is still alive being martyred around 62 AD. Otherwise Luke would have written about his death as well. The "scholarly" dating of the gospels after 70 AD is because they do not believe that Jesus could have made a prophecy of the destruction of the 2nd temple in Jerusalem. This is a fallacy because it NEVER mentions that this particular prophecy was fulfilled as it does in other places in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Also with Jerome doing his fresh Latin Vulgate translation between 390 & 420 AD he would have access to earlier texts that are no longer in existence to account for the dates given.
Exactly. That's similar to what Bernier argues in "Rethinking the dates of the new testament". And others before him, like my favorite German NT scholar, Carsten Peter Thiede.
Matthew 24:15
the disgusting thing that causes desolation: Daniel foretold that “disgusting thing(s)” would be associated with desolation. (Da 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) Jesus here indicates that “the disgusting thing that causes desolation” had not yet appeared; it was to come in the future. And 33 years after Jesus’ death, Christians witnessed the initial fulfillment of this prophecy when they did catch sight of a disgusting thing standing in a holy place. The parallel account at Lu 21:20 reads: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.” In 66 C.E., pagan Roman armies surrounded “the holy city,” Jerusalem, a place that the Jews viewed as holy and that was the center of the Jewish revolt against Rome. (Mt 4:5; 27:53) Discerning Christians, who recognized that the Roman army with its idolatrous banners was “the disgusting thing,” took it as the final signal to “begin fleeing to the mountains.” (Mt 24:15, 16; Lu 19:43, 44; 21:20-22) After the Christians fled, the Romans desolated both the city and the nation. Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 AD., and the last Jewish stronghold, Masada, fell to the Romans in 73 AD. (Compare Da 9:25-27.) The detailed initial fulfillment of this prophecy provides a solid basis for trusting that the greater fulfillment will also take place, culminating with Jesus’ “coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Mt 24:30) Many ignore Jesus’ statement that Daniel’s prophecy would be fulfilled after Jesus’ day.
St. Jerome credits Marcion di Sinope with both collecting the codex and transcribing the Greek. This is further evidenced despite the damnatio memoriae he suffered, after his Antithesis was destroyed and erased from history. Hell, the only reason we even know it existed is because Tertullian's "Against Marcion" those closest to the source most assuredly had the most accurate information, time has been a friend & Allie to the god of this world, perpetuated by the apostasy plaguing us all searching for the truth. This knowledge passes the spirit of discernment in every aspect. Let he who has ears to hear and eyes to see be informed and transformed by the 1 way, the 1 truth, and only way to eternal life. Prove all things, hold fast to what's fine.
@@strappedfatman7858 And for what you just said was all the more reason I trust the early dating of the gospels.
The craziest thing about all this is somehow I wasn't subscribed to this channel despite hours and hours of viewing your videos.
I was worried clicking onto this video that it was gonna be about some *secret* Gospel, but I was pleasantly surprised!
Could you make a academic video on how the gospels are reliably connected to the eyewitnesses of the Ressurection?
Nice work. I do think that we tend to emphasize the transmission of "oral traditions" a bit too much. I favor the view that much of the gospel message was written down very early by the relative few able to write (the author of Luke practically says as much). Paul may have been aware of written pre-Mark proto-gospel materials, in addition to anything passed along orally. The authors of Matthew and Luke certainly worked from written sources.
Dr. David Wenham's book Paul and Jesus is also another work that expands on the Paul's faithfulness in preserving early Christianity rather than reinventing it
Paul was the first in the Body of Christ Church (1 Timothy 1:16), so that after Israel's fall in unbelief and diminishing (Romans 11:11-12), he would be our pattern for salvation for everyone who would believe hereafter.
The whole Israel's 70 weeks prophecy never finished playing out because Israel fell, and salvation came to the Gentiles. By Grace through faith.
Very good
God Bless

At approximately 4:45 it’s mentioned Paul was speaking from the POV from being directly inspired, however while surely he was also directly inspired, one of the 1st events after he was struck blind is he was lead to a Christian who helped restore his vision and obviously knew direct sources he taught from… this furthers this particular pov as for this video clip thus far,(not finished but didn’t want to forget this point in case it wasn’t brought up later in this video).
I hope you see this, Inspiring Philosophy. I recently decided to re-watch a favorite video of many years past. It was The Simulation Hypothesis, over on the Cosmic Faust channel. When it was over I was dazedly watching the end credits and saw Inspiring Philosophy credited there. Thanks so much for supporting efforts like that. No, I don't believe we live in a computer program, but you have insight to realize there is much more contained in a "simulation hypothesis" than just technology. I hope you will come back to videos showing God's hand in the world through science and metaphysics. Your old science videos are just awesome, and I really want to see much, much more of them. I am not so interested in what various trolls think of Christianity. So I am writing to say "I miss you, Inspiring Philosophy."
Amen
IP can you do a defending Daniel video?
This sounds interesting
Oral traditions existed before Paul, no doubt, but that's not quite the same as saying the Gospels we have are "reliable" in all details, and don't contain mythical elements.
Hey IP would you be able to possibly look into making a video debunking the claim that the Chi Rho is a pagan symbol please. I’ve seen you’ve done stuff on the anhk and the icthys etc but I see more and more about the Chi Rho popping up
On my feed. Thank you.
The greatest commandment is Love the Lord thy God with all of thy heart. The second is like it. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Seems easy to combine the two.
Love is the key. Thus love is the fulfillment of the law, as Paul says.
”Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.“
Matthew 25:45
@@TheBanjoShowOfficial , your point? If you truly love your neighbor, you will help your neighbor. Christian love is not just a warm, fuzzy feeling; it is an act of the will.
Now you just need to find the trinity. That's been hiding for nearly 2000 years

@InspiringPhilosophy I've just acquired a book you've referenced occasionally called On the Reliability of the Old Testament by K A Kitchen and was curious do you have any recommendations for similar materials on new testament writings?
He has book recommendations on his website.
Do you have a video about "man of lawlessness"
Will you be making a video on what exactly Ham did to Noah??

Since Acts authored by Luke was probably written before Paul’s death, then gLuke was probably written even earlier, which in turn means gMark was written much earlier than Paul’s death. So Paul might have been acquainted with one or two written Gospels at the later stage of his physical life. His plausible acquaintance with written Gospel(s) plus his acquaintance with the oral narratives (or oral Gospels) of Jesus’ ministry, may account for Paul’s allusions to the current written Gospels.
The synoptic gospels did not arrive until after the council of Nicea in 382 AD. LUKE plagiarized Paul's Gospel of the Lord, vandalized, judized, perverted and corrupted it. This is all well documented through the actual records of history should we actually care to put the work in. Closet source to the truth is to start with what Bible the 1st Christian gentiles used, then compare and contrast the renditions given. It is easy to see where, when and more importantly why, we have been deceived by the Jews/yehudei (Ashkinazi) and Roman's. Pius I, Tertullian's against Marcion, and Marcion's "Antithesis" says it all. Not hard to see, the nativity immaculate conception fraud, and the Hebrew lie of Jewish bloodline to David was perpetuated by Luke & James. If you are CHRISTIAN, not Judeo-Christian, gentle, living in the spirit, not the law, then Paul's gospel of the Lord, IS THE ONLY GOSPEL, you should be reading, that is YOUR bread. Quite frankly, they couldn't have his (Jesus) body so they conspired and hijacked our faith. #SoulTrap #eternalconsequence. Remember what Jesus said about being "luke/Luke warm Christians" can't be Jew-ish, and Christian... they are opposite and antithetical to one another. Paul warned us about receiving other Gospels...js.
@@h.thomasyates5738
How do church fathers before the council of Nicea quote the gospels then ?
🤦
@ramadadiver7810 they quote from the only rendition of it that existed, that which was given to Paul, plagiarized by Luke, used by a lionized James (messianic jew) who Judeized it and under the direction of the Pharisees & Sadducee to make Jesus a jew of the bloodline of David. This knowing can be discovered, known and lived in the contemplation of with even a cursory forensic investigation (30 yrs exp). The information is real and it is authentic. Start by looking up these councils, who assembled, form & purpose, final outcomes. Then look into what the very first Christians were doing post ascension, what rights AND rituals, were they partaking in and why. Then a comparison and contrast against the shared context in both accounts the Christian Vs. The Judeo-Christian bible(s) Roman history, and the VDL provide tons of inadvertent evidentiaries to support what will start to become obvious. I left a few other comments on here, read them, research their merit... only 1 truth and life. That's Jesus. Paul received his knowledge NOT of man, so forget what this guy says about knowing Matthew, Mark... Paul tells us he received his gospel from Jesus directly... PERIOD. He warns of us other gospels, and once you remove the shared context, what is left can only be extrapolated to 1 very disheartening end conclusion...I will wait.
@@h.thomasyates5738
They quote all 4 gospels
@@h.thomasyates5738
And you didn't answer the question . If the gospels didn't exist until council of Nicea .
How did Paul create them before the coincil of nicea
? ?
You hold two conclusions that contradict
What are your thoughts on the assertion that Paul had a copy of the Gospel of Luke, and that this is what he referred to in his three instances where he refers to "my gospel"? In a couple of the instances, the things he's saying about "my gospel" aren't things that are technically part of _the_ Gospel. This only seems to make sense if he's referring to what can be inferred from one of the gospels, presumably Luke.
The theory goes like this:
• Paul quotes the Gospel of Luke and refers to the source of his quote as scripture when he says in 1 Timothy 5:17-18, 'Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” ' The expression "the laborer deserves his wages doesn't appear anywhere in the Old Testament, but it is found in Luke 10:7. Not only is Paul quoting it, he is referring to it as scripture.
• We know Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke before he wrote Acts, but we can also tell that the contents of Acts were written concurrently, perhaps as journal entries from which Luke then assembled Acts, and that Acts ends before Paul's last trip and his eventual execution. This is evidenced by text indicating the exact point at which Luke joins Paul's mission is Acts 16:10. In Acts 16:10, Luke refers to Paul and company as "them" until verse 16:10, and then from there to the end of Acts, he speaks of what Paul did saying "we/us".
Acts 16:7-10
7 And when *they* had come up to Mysia, *they* attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow *them*. 8 So, passing by Mysia, *they* went down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately *we* sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called *us* to preach the gospel to them."
From this, we may be able to infer that the Gospel of Luke was written before this point where the contents of Acts was recorded concurrently with Luke being in the company of Paul. If this is so, it is not unreasonable to infer that Paul therefore had access to a copy of the Gospel of Luke after meeting up with Luke.
• Furthermore, Luke says in the opening of the Gospel of Luke that its contents were delivered to Luke from the eyewitnesses of the things that have been accomplished:
Luke 1:1-4
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as *those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us*, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
Luke's gospel includes accounts such as Mary being visited by Gabriel, Mary observing things about Jesus treasuring various things in her heart, and even Zechariah the priest being visited by Gabriel in the Temple, which only have one eye witness each: Mary and Zechariah. Unless Luke is lying, Luke must therefore have used Mary and Zechariah as sources. But Zechariah was already "advanced in years" before John was born, so if you add 30+ years for Jesus's life up through his crucifixion, Zechariah would have been super old. Luke must therefore have at least taken notes and done interviews while he was alive. This suggests that the Gospel of Luke was written far earlier than a lot of scholarship concedes. I contend that Luke may have even been authored before Mark; According to Eusebius, the Gospel of Mark was written by John Mark using Peter's dictation, when Peter had settled in Rome, and the Roman Christians asked him for a record of the life of Jesus. But Peter didn't settle in Rome until around 60 AD. Acts 27 records when Peter headed to Rome, and that is well after Luke 16:10. Luke's Gospel would have been completed by then if he used Zechariah and Mary as eye witnesses.
If Luke's gospel was written super early, and a copy of it was present with him when he joined Paul's mission, that would explain Paul's quote of the Gospel of Luke in 1 Timothy. I would expect every epistle written after Acts 16:10 to have been written with Paul knowing the Gospel of Luke.
As far as I understand, if you prepare a timeline of the events in Acts, and place the authorship of the epistles along this timeline, every single epistle lands on the timeline *after* Acts 16:10.
Hey IP, could you please make a video about a Christian rebuking of the concept called "open individualism"? It states that all living beings share only one consciousness, which will experience all lives one at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but its believers claim that it is the only logical answer to the question of "Why am I me and not someone else?" It's not a question about why I am in this body, but rather that out of all consciousnesses, out of all first person perspectives why do I experience THIS particular one? OI believers state that the only solution is that there exists only one universal consciousness.

@InspiringPhilosophy Hi Inspiring Philosophy, I'd like to ask you your thoughts on Hazbin Hotel, the animated series. It's not really a piece of animation media that focuses on apologetics or debating religion, but it's a show about sinners in Hell trying to redeem themselves in order to get into Heaven. The lore or 'theology' of the show is more based on general Abrahamic theology rather than Christian theology iirc, but I think it would be nice to see your thoughts on the show and its writing. The first 4 episodes of the show premiere Friday 19th January (so not the whole 8 episodes of the first season) and I would love to see your reaction to atleast the first 4 episodes after they drop.
Is this the end of the reliability of the gospel series?
Dont forget about 2 Timothy 3:16 . Its says all scripture is written under the inspiration of God
Any discussion about the authors of the 4 gospels who are actually not direct witnesses of Jesus’s life, but those who are within community of Jesus teaching?
What about the 4 gospels written after paul which explains the same parallels between paul letters and the 4 gospels?
I think James Trimm found that the gospels were all variations on a "Book of Hebrews", possibly written in Hebrew. And that's not connected with Paul's Epistles to the Hebrews. So each gospel was written for a different group. The groups being the Pharisees, Saducees, Essenes and another that I forget.
Every time that Jesus and his followers went up to Jerusalem for holy days Paul would have been there in the same city, along with almost every other Pharisee. It mentions in Acts that he keeps the days and makes pilgrimage to Jerusalem even after his conversion and apostolic work. So what he knew was more than second hand.
Nice

I wouldn't call that a "gospel" in the way we know, but it's the inspiration for writing the gospels.
What? It’s gospel. Gospel doesn’t imply anything written down. It’s literally just a teaching
@@TheBanjoShowOfficial but not in the way we are used to it.
Or as a semi chronological narrative/biography.
I think Paul had access to the written Gospel. I think Matthew was written within a few years of Jesus's death, and I think the church fathers support this.
What I find a little irritating is, that - given that Mark was Peters interpreter and got his information mostly from Peter - The gospel of Mark does not contain the first and exclusive appearance of Jesus to Peter. And why does Paul not know about Maria Magdalene being the first witness? Is there a plausible explanation for that?
Because he was a pharisee and for him the testimony of the women didn't count much if anything.
@@MrSeedi76 possible. But no evidence for it, I guess. There is a long tradition of presenting PAul as hostile against women. But that has no foundation in scripture.
Paul white washed the women out of the witnesses because he knows back then women's testimony was less of a man .
So Paul appeals to male witnesses instead .
Paul does tho meet Junia ( Joanna in Hebrew ) . And says she is an apostle and was * in Christ before me "
Joanna is one of the women listed at the empty tomb . And an apostle around Paul's time was a witness to Jesus after his death .
So I conclude Paul did meet some of the women at the tomb but he doesn't use them as witnesses
@@ramadadiver7810 That is possible and makes sense. But it contrasts the gosple-writers , that did not do anything like that. And some form of dishonesty does not fit to his character. i guess, we just dont know. And I really dont think Paul was even aware of the postmodern concept of male whiteness. I mean: I was not aware of that until these ideas came up recently. does it mean anything more than f.e. guinea pig-cuteness?
@@petervonbergen5364
It's not dishonesty . He is not saying there were no women after all . He's just using what was considered to have more authority
