      There's a natural winnowing process, you know? Some beliefs tend to be more compatible with whatever society they're in, whereas others are more fringe. Over time the fringe beliefs tend to fade, whereas the more compatible ones tend to kind of combine and conform. Evolution, basically.

      @@mahatmarandy5977 I'd say it was less about evolution and more about what the rulers and church leaders at any given time decided was "in" or "out." The Gnostics were critical of proto-Orthodox teachings; and by extension, critical of the leaders and power structure associated with those teachings. From a basic political standpoint, it makes sense that proto-Orthodox leaders would label Gnostics as heretical. People did hold deep beliefs. But we should not ignore the power games played in the upper echelons of any number of faiths.

After all, it was written only 147 years after Lincoln's death, so it must be true, right?

      The Book of Enoch could very likely be a fanfic of sorts. As it was not written in the same times as the Old Testament nor the new testament.
      Could very well just be a fanfiction of the time period using the names/characters of Biblical origins. I imagine a lot of people wrote stories about the things that were culturally popular at the time. The Bible was the commonly known thing, it was their pop culture.

    I was 12 years old when I first thought: if Judas hadn't existed there would have been no crucifixion therefore no salvation. If it was prophesied to happen, someone was already doomed to have to play that role since before they existed so sending them to hell would be unfair. It was the beginning of an endless questioning that led me to lose all faith.

      The Bible is actually very clear that Judas’s betrayal is ordained by God.
      It is spoken of in the Psalms, for example.
      The trouble with popular evangelical Christianity today is that it emphasizes the freedom of will. The Bible does not, nor has historic Christianity.
      You are quite right to point out that Judas’s betrayal, if ordained by God, is unfair according to a theological system that emphasizes choice (as popular Arminian evangelicalism and Roman Catholicism). It’s plainly inconsistent.
      However, many evangelical Christians, if they have such questions, are never given answers, and they are discouraged from asking them.
      If your upbringing is like mine was (fundamentalist, Pentecostal), then you were told “Just believe.” But belief without knowledge is nonsensical. Faith must be grounded in something real, or else it is stupid fantasy.
      I found answers to my questions in the Westminster Standards.
      My parents and siblings think I’m a heretic, probably, but by God’s grace I have been brought to faith built on knowledge, on truth, and not on mere feeling or wishful thinking.

      Interesting topic. What is your reasoning behind it? I would say myth originated in one place and was gradually spread along the old World. It has more sense to me than the notion that all of these myths are referencing the same world-wide flood. I think this myth originated somewhere in the middle east which was a center of domestication and the birth of agriculture. Agriculture was spread through migration from Middle east to many parts of the Old World, and it's not unimaginable that those people/migrants who were bringing the knowledge of farming and agriculture to the rest of the Old World brought these myths and stories with them, which through the next few millenia became for every culture their own distinct flood myth. Problem regarding the flood myths in the New World is that we cannot go back in time and ask native people what is the exact story, we only have stories which were filtered through and written down by the 15th century spanish monks, who firmly believed in the story about the Noah's ark to be truth. That easily could have resulted, and most probably it did, in those monks trying to connect some stories about the floods in the New World with Noah's ark, thus making those stories from the New World seem much more simmilar to the story of Noah's ark than it probably actually was, maybe they were not even remotely simmilar. (mind you that in 15th century there was no spanish-native american dictionary, so much of the actual stories from the New World were highly reinterpretated while being written down and we will never know what the actual story was like)
      These are not mine ideas, I heard it from several archeologists and thus far it's the explanation for the world-wide spread of the flood myth which for me makes the most sense. Far from saying it's the actual truth, no one can know that, but that's what makes it a interesting topic for discussion.

It was the connection point between africa, europe, and asia all the trade routes go through Canaan. (Hence way Egypt and the Hittites were fighting over that area.) This means goods, people, and ideas came through there all the time. Its less about a real world wide flood, but the melding of different peoples. Some of tells in the old testament were most likely influence by these tales and incorperated them and slightly change them to fit in. People of the bronze and iron age record history different, adding embellishments and literary devices (such as characters) to make theological points. The accuracy of the account mattered little, what did matter was what were they trying to tell you.

      The Gospel of Judas could have been made in the 2nd Century.
      However, that doesn't mean it should be in the Bible.
      Because the Bible doesn't align with Judas

    with only one copy of this ever being found, i can't bring myself to believe it was anything but some early christian scribe's bible fanfiction. humans never change, i know in my heart that 1000 years ago there were still people who saw jesus and judas kiss and went "get me my quill and inkpot i have work to do"

    _Seeing early Christianity from the Vedic perspective has helped me in simplifying the understanding process of the Gnostic Gospels._
    _I recommend Ādvaita Vedānta, Kashmiri Shaivism, Vijñāna Vada Buddhism and Shunya Vada Buddhism. These Eastern Philosophical systems will break down the Gnostic Gospels step by step for you so that a seeker may understand the deeper meaning what Jesus has ACTUALLY taught._

    The use of "generations" and "stars" is throughout the translation I read (see excerpt below) and it's difficult for me to understand what is meant. Are these literal translations? Do scholars have to do a lot of interpretation and lean on generalized words to try their best to translate the concepts, stories, and teachings the author(s) were writing, that maybe would have been clear to readers of the time? Thanks for the video, I really enjoy your content.
    "...you'll do more than all of them, because you'll sacrifice the human who bears me. Your horn has already been raised, your anger has been kindled, your star has ascended, and your heart has [strayed]. Truly [I say to you], your last [… and] the [… the thrones] of the realm have [been defeated], the kings have grown weak, the angelic generations have grieved, and the evil [they sowed …] is destroyed, [and] the [ruler] is wiped out. [And] then the [fruit] of the great generation of Adam will be exalted, because before heaven, earth, and the angels, that generation from the realms exists. Look, you've been told everything. Lift up your eyes and see the cloud with the light in it and the stars around it. And the star that leads the way is your star." - gospels.net/judas

    Great presentation, thank you. Fwiw, the reason non canonical books “didn’t make it into the Bible”, is that they were deemed to simply be too confusing, or they were in error somehow, or that they were altogether wrong or just were not pertinent.

    The apostles in a state of "Confusion" is probably the best description of the development of Christianity.
    A group of people who thought they knew what was happening but then the expected revival of the Davidic kingdom didn't show up and oust the Romans, and the messiah was killed there was a lot of explaining to do.
    The sequence we have received: the proto-orthodox begat the orthodox who begat the orthodox who begat the schisms that begat contemporary christianity; would most likely sound as bizarre to the early Jesus communities as this gospel sounds to us.
    In The Gospel According to Me Judas is more an everyman rather than a great betrayer. His sins of greed, selfishness and egoism are not unique but universal.
    That we identify more with the apostles, that understand the way of Jesus and that our brand of Christianity is the true path is probably as confused as the communities of Paul, Judas, Thomas or Seth.
