    He is exactly right! And also why the gospels are FOS and contradictory as well. Why do they find the need to be so important as to have a chain of witnesses from death to tomb to the day he rose? The gospels are late and as such early christian traditions were challenged by non-believers who offered counters to these traditions. And this is why each gospel is another iteration of answering some of these counters. Paul, is the first to really lay out the narrative of a resurrection - but he has no woman and no tomb just simply - he died was buried and rose again and appeared to Peter first. Paul seems more in line with what Mike is saying here. But later after 70 CE the gospels are completely different. In fact Paul would not even consider it necessary to have a physical resurrection of the body that went into the ground - as his teaching further on in I Cor. 15 tell us. Also, note that none of the disciples actually saw him even die. And it is absolutely absurd that you would have a secret rich disciple of Jesus on the Sanhedrin who can have access to Pilate at their whim and who just happens to have a brand new unused tomb made for a king with a circular stone close by where woman follow Nico to the tomb so they know exactly where it is at and then go there after the sabbath to anoint the body that was already anointed and sealed. Now that's comedy!!

    Why does the ALLAH of Muslims accept to be ONE like Satan the leader of the devils and not his opposite and greater than him? How do you differentiate between them if there is like them ONE ? Why is the Allah of Muslims incapable of becoming a man like Satan ? How do you differentiate between them? Why does the God of Muslims inspire killing and jihad like the ONE Satan , and does not kidnap souls alone whenever he wants? How do you differentiate between them? Why does the God of Muslims only inspire the prophets as Satan can inspires them ? How do you differentiate the words of your Allah from the whisperings of Satan in his book? How do Muslims worship an Allah who asks them to say the Shahada to forgive them the rest of their sins and to kill themselves for him so that he can forgive all their sins, and they doubt God who died on the cross for the forgiveness of original sin and not personal sins and the request to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? How do Muslims differentiate their ONE Allah , from the cunning Satan, the ruler of the devils, who loves the night, the jinn, the moon, and lunar time, the one who snatches souls to hell ( jannat jinn ) , and who loves to humiliate humans whom our God, “ Jeovah ,” created in his image ? What is in their Allah greater than the ONE Satan ? Especially since the only Muslim in the Christian religion is Judas Iscariot, who surrendered Jesus?????????????????

    There are more than 100 reasonable men who recall when the KJV was written with elegance, and spareness and was a majestic use of the english language. Additionally the KJV has been academically cited as a masterful usage of the english language. This is no longer true. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" ... Remember? The testimony of 2 or more in 2024 says that scriptures are corrupted. This is beyond what Jeremiah chapter 8 says. "Consider the sparrows" - Luke chapter 12 "The lion shall lie down with the lamb" Isaiah 11:6 and Isaiah 65:25 "Judge not lest ye be judged" Matthew "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" - The Golden Rule "My people perish for a lack of knowledge" -Hosea 4:6 Remember? We are instructed to write the word in our hearts. Are there scriptures that warn us of these wicked bible changes? Yes there are and these are now well under way. The Holy Spirit will confirm to you that all bibles, manuscripts, concordances and dictionaries are altering from some type of alchemy / witchcraft / sorcery. Daniel 7:25 is happening now with laws being altered regardless of our opinions or preferences or traditions / doctrines. May you be blessed with Abba's wisdom as you seek for treasure with ALL of your heart. - an earthen vessel.

    Come on MIke, stop misleading people. None of those you claim attested Jesus's crucifixion were there and some had not even been born. NONE of them ever met Jesus in real life or saw him. How could they attest other than to go off what people were saying? That's not attestation and would not stand up in court! Get a grip and tell us some truths my friend. Josephus - born year 37 CE - could not have seen the crucifixion Tacitus - born year 56 CE - could not have seen the crucifixion Lucian of Antioch - born 240 CE - DEFINITELY could not have seen the crucifixion Mar bar Serapion - born 50 CE - could not have seen the crucifixion Paul - born 5 BCE and had never met Jesus

    This Christians first point seemed to focus on the fact Jesus's resurrection and he seemed to think that Muslims believe he didn't rise to heaven, we do believe he rose to heaven in his body by God's will. Therefore we do also believe there couldn't be a body.

    To believe in "The resurrection", you have to be creative because it just didn't happen. Your imagination can make it happen.

    • @minor00
      @minor00 5 часов назад

      As an electric motor control engineer, I find creativity and imagination are critical to innovation in engineering, science, and mathematics. Sometimes what seems impossible is actually a reflection us not being willing to investigate the possibility thoroughly before dismissing it as impossible. With respect to historiography, I think the important question of investigation is whether it's likely that God exists or not. If it's likely that God exists then the resurrection is certainly more reasonable of a hypothesis to consider as an explanation of the collection of data surrounding the lives and deaths of Jesus and his followers.

    VERY interested in this and the forthcoming video on "Inspiration". Starting off I have a question. Given that Scripture (God) says that men wrote as they were moved or carried along by the Holy Spirit (2nd Pet. 1:21) why is it so hard to think that the apostles "never once misattributed" something that Jesus did. Furthermore, you seem to be alluding to the apostles being fallible and capable of doing that and thus it follows they did it with Scripture too. I'd call foul and say that's a non sequitur BECAUSE of precisely what 2nd Pet. 1:21 and 2nd Tim. 3:16 say. Certainly the apostles were not infallible. But that does not follow that Scripture isn't and that the apostles were not when writing Scripture.

    A debate based upon the believes or faith can not be taken seriously. Starting for the fact that there are some documents that present the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Most of them are from the Bible and are very close to Jesus life in terms of time. Then you have the Quran which was written not one, two or three centuries after Jesus, but more than six centuries later. So if the “academics” pretend to say that the gospels of Luke and John were distorted, can you imagine how much more distorted can be a story written more than six hundred years later.

The Bible is a fantastic tool you can use to learn ABOUT your God however, God is the only way you get to know God personally. That's why He said, The only way to me, is me.

    Mike, what do you mean by "errors". Please be more specific. Cite some AND how you know them to be errors. Every single so-called "error" that I've seen cited thus far has been fairly easily explained away. You've even done so yourself. Also, according to some writings I've seen by folks, like Daniel B. Wallace, due to the number of manuscripts we have today coupled with the advances made in Textual Criticism and Manuscript Authenticity, we are as close to the autographs today as we may well ever be. I would also add that I think you need to extrapolate more on what you think "Inspiration" is as contrast with the widely accepted definition found in 2nd Pet. 1:21. There is also the aspect that the Scriptures we have are inerrant and infallible BECAUSE God has "breathed out" what we have. And, as you know, there are other writings that we do not have and I would say it must be assumed that we do not have them because God did not want us to have them.

And if your Allah misleads whomever He wills, unlike our God, who created us free to decide our fate and our destiny is according to our decisions and actions, and every moment a person repents and returns to Him, there is a wedding in heaven like the return of the prodigal son because our souls are precious to him. “Be holy as your Father is holy.” Why do you pray to your Allah who is not in your image? What does he want from your souls? Why does he not consider you to be talkers animals like the rest of the animals he created, such as monkeys, gorillas, and others, and your souls end after your death??????????????????????

Paul was simply mentally unstable and had a habit of making mountains out of molehills.

Government media doesn't do it. Hollywood doesn't do it,etc. so this is a misinterpretation of stats for the people who concluded islam is collapsing or the reason for iranians to turn agnostic or atheist is exposure to internet and information. btw people are not turning into Christian or Zoroastrians. they are not done with islam they are done with religion period.

I really cannot believe he would raise them from the dead just to die all over again.

    I think the idea of inerrancy arose as a counter to the ideas being presented in modernism, that nothing sticks on the wall when examined. Contra that, inerrancy says too much, that everything sticks on the wall, except for 1000s of exception cases explained in books. I prefer to say what Scripture claims, that Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative for one's active faith.

    If there are errors in the Bible, then the implications for our faith and for who God is--or if He even exists--are megalithic. If God is not capable of protecting His word through the ages, then is He truly all-powerful? How does a great Bible scholar reconcile his scholarly findings with the belief in an almighty God, or with the belief that the Bible is actually a divinely inspired document? Is it really? What does all this say about the foundation of Christian faith? That foundation seems to be a foundation on sand--if Dr. Licona's assertions are true. Is the good Doctor working to support the Christian faith or to destroy its very foundations?

      It's not a matter of if. Copyist errors have occurred through millenia. Perfect preservation has always been a fib, but we have sufficient preservation to hold onto our faith.

      Depends on what your faith is in. Is it in God's word, or is it in doctrines that humans have taught you? This kind of discussion ought to force us back to God's word, to see what it actually teaches. Then we can compare that with what people teach, and see when human teaching falls short or is itself in error. As for your question about God "protecting" his word, it's not that he isn't capable of doing so; it's that he hasn't chosen to do so. (If by "protecting" his word, you mean keeping humans from making mistakes when they make copies of the original manuscripts, and then keeping other humans from making mistakes when they copy _those_ copies.) For God to "protect" his word from those errors, he would have to control every person who ever copied a manuscript, and take away their ability to make errors. Has God ever said that this is what he did? No, he hasn't. Some people may claim that that's what happened, but there's no basis for the claim. God doing so would also be inconsistent with his interaction with humans since he first created us. He made us to possess and express agency, which is one way in which we're made in his image. As a result, he doesn't keep us from sinning, much less from making innocent mistakes. To do so would result in us being automatons, not human beings. So God allows us to make mistakes while placing the responsibility for those mistakes upon us. It's no different when he allows humans to make copies of the original manuscripts, or copies of those copies. Not everyone who wrote those copies was even a Christian (in the biblical sense). To claim that God kept all of them from making errors is anti-factual, and also not something the Bible ever claims for itself. The fact is that we don't have the original manuscripts, we have copies of copies of the original manuscripts. And they differ from one another the same way any written record would that's been copied by hand. Copyist errors (and sometimes intentional editing) are a fact with the transmission of any document. We can in almost every instance determine which of the variations reflects the original writing, with a fair degree of confidence. And this allows us to determine what the originals said, to a great extent. There is no foundational Biblical truth that's in danger of being lost due to errors. So no, none of this threatens the foundation of our faith. Unless your faith is in the unbiblical idea that God kept people from making mistakes as they copied the Scriptures through the ages. Now, I'm not necessarily supporting Mike's definition of inerrancy, because he hasn't really explained what it is.

      @@theR0NIN There's a lot of palaver there, but you missed the point. You said: "Depends on what your faith is in. Is it in God's word, or is it in doctrines that humans have taught you?" If God's word is not trustworthy (accurate and inerrant), then how can you trust it? How can you really be sure it is God's word and not just another collection of ancient writings? If God is perfect and all powerful, then why did He not give us a Word that is perfect? Why does He give us so many reasons to doubt?

      @@theR0NIN Are you into neo-orthodoxy, believing that the Bible is not the word of God but just CONTAINS the word of God. Do we just have to try to figure out what is and what is not His word?
