Being a eusebe I am really interesting in studying his life

There is only One Divine ... Tge Word Clearly tells us this--> Isaiah 40:25 KJV - To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Gnostic teachings.

The biblical Noah story has really made me question itself in the scheme of things. Firstly, Noah sacrifices animals to G, so which animals went extinct because he killed off one of the two progenitor s? Why would G need a sacrifice anyway after just having his creations saved? Also, one of the next things Noah does is create a servant class by cursing Ham's offspring, because G drowned all the former servants along with their evil masters. How inconvenient!

Superb, as usual!

Bro thank you, ive been seeing too many people share this guys nonsense.

Dr. Finkle is very cool as far as Assyriologists go. Wish he'd dig deeper into Enmerkar and the spell he casts to demand Enki to make Sumeria the only common language in all the known worlds. That proves that it was the Tower of Inana that would be the real tower of Babel. For he cast his spell to force Arrata to give him precious metals and jewels to adorn the Temple of Inana/Ziggurat of Eanna. Only Temple mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh 2x!

As far as I'm concerned, the unquestionable reality of the shroud represents a connection to our prophet, our Savior and his Father, it does not promote, justify, resolve, relieve, absolve, diminish or make resolute any twisted connections to the Church, Vatican City, Rome and its deplorable, unforgivable, inhuman, torturous, murderous, ignorant, criminal, manipulative and devious actions throughout history as it claims to have done everything in our Lord's name, and continues to perpetuate there lies and manipulations of the words, teachings and lessons of Jesus without reprimand. Funny I don't ever remember hearing about Jesus killing anyone who didn't follow him, asking anyone for compensation to absolve their sins or laundering blood money for other criminal organizations or supporting dictator's trying to ethnically cleanse the world. Interesting how others claim to do things in there deities name and miss-interpreted teachings, yet we call them terrorists and try to bring them to justice. I'm not seeing the difference. You know why the US Gov't separates church from state? Because two negatives make a positive and that's just not in there business model.

I'm still convinced by the fact there are three different body positions on the shroud shown in the negative image, saying the body moved during the irradiating process, three separate bursts, the fact that the shape on the shroud shows his body was floating at that moment and the fact that if the imprint was made while the linen was wrapped around the contours of his body, the image would be stretched/distorted when the material was pulled taught. The image was created while his body was inches above the shroud and the shroud was pulled flat. One of the scientists said it would take 400 billion giga-watts of our electrical power to recreate an image like that using coherent light radiation, the total used by the entire US continent in one year. Our human soul is a form of energy, I can only imagine how powerful Jesus's is. I'm wondering, if we can talk back and forth to both Voyagers using only 60 watts of power and there approaching the edge of our galaxy, if you go out into space far enough, you can still pick up our old FM/VHF/UHF television signals, we can detect and record light coming from a dead star after traveling trillions of light years, we can hear a whale fart underwater 2,000 miles away, in the 50's our satellites could read the headline off a newspaper in Russia, why couldn't we detect 3 coherent radiated energy bursts traveling through space for 2,000 years using the J. Webb telescope? What other affects would the radiated energy have left behind? How would it have affected the ceiling of the cave? The stone slab? The dirt, grass, sand, trees or bacteria over the tomb? What would that amount of energy have done to the Ozone? Would the Van Allen Belt have absorbed the energy, what type of affect would it have created with the northern lights aura? Did I hear correctly that the world went dark for three days afterwards or certain areas? There was an earthquake, the earth shook, cracked under the cross? Like the supposed radiation weapons were testing now that affect the weather and may have cause earthquakes in Japan with not even a pinch of the energy used during the resurrection. That UFO that was hovering over the temple mount and shot a beam of bright light before it took off, maybe that was someone making a visit underneath in areas we haven't explored, they were returning someone or they were picking someone up using the same technology as may have been used to return Jesus's body. Hmmmmm.

One of the most foremost historians in the world and you interview him in a t-shirt and a backwards ball cap? Have some respect

Hi Martin have you take a look at Mauro Biglino’s work? He translated 17 books from Hebrew to Italian for San Paolo editions, publishing house for the Vatican, until he started writing is own books and of course his contract was terminated. Thank you and hope you all the best

In order to have everlasting life you absolutely must trust in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation 💓.

Thank you for your intro. I hold Dr. Finkel in high regard and would never criticize any of his views. Saying that, my view is that what became the New Testament gradually developed from historical fiction to where it was considered the basis for deciding if a person was a heretic. I think the Gospels and Acts are not historical documents

The story of the grandfather doesn't have to be a lie to have another explanation. For example, everyone has a doppleganger. Also there's a common thing among the aggrieved whereby they see the facd of their lost loved one in lots of people. It happened to me all the time for years after my father died. I'd think I saw him, but on another look it turned out to be a perfect stranger. Occasionally several things will happen together and you get a very strong feeling. But it can be purely incorrect interpretation. Now suppose you saw someone briefly, and couldn't get another better look. And now suppose you have always been around people who take the supernatural for granted. You only have a brief moment to go on and naturally some very strong feelings. Well of course you'll have a strong sense you enountered a ghost. It's simply not good evidence. We have very strong evidence that people in general and certain individuals in particular are very suggestible. The whole advertising industry is built on manipulating people, reaching past their conscious thoughts. People require differing levels of evidence. I demand a higher level than many, maybe most

Sigh...what could be done with no wars...archaeology, medicine, climate.. Great interview, thank you!

It is just a matter of perception, 2 Kings 6:17. We are surrounded by many hyper-dimensional beings that some people, who devote their lives to certain practices, or others who have had an encounter with physical death and remain here with us for a time, seem to be able to cross this dimensional barrier and see, interact, or communicate with these extra-terrestrial beings. I personally believe Jesus Christ is the doorway or portal into these realms and the Holy Spirit is our protector and guide in these areas we are unfamiliar with or unaware of. We are eternal, it is just a matter of adjusting our beliefs and throwing off the shackles that death and religion brings to our mind. Yes the body ages and decays, but their is another life that is concurrently growing alongside this 3 dimensional life. Jesus Christ embodies this life and left us a blueprint into this reality. A kingdom that will never fade away, and we are learning how to live in it, and let it overtake us and consume this life if we desire it to. But not everybody does, whether because of pride, ignorance, or circumstances beyond their control, their mind is captured and the imagination is snuffed or corrupted and their souls remain trapped in the lower dimensions of the heavens, where the the less desirable spirits inhabit. Possibly the ones that were cast out of the presence of God due to their rebellion at some time past, and a warning to those who have not understood of this foreboding fate that awaits all who choose oblivion. Very exciting journey for those who can articulate it properly.

Finkle is THEE man! I listen to all his interviews when ever he pops up in the YT feed! Appreciate this very very much. I'm a non believer as well.

I can listen to this guy talk all day long. My IQ would raise by 10 points just by standing in the same room with Mr. Finkel.

Any thoughts on the use of psychedelics in communing with ghosts etc. Similar to what we find in Eleusis.

FAIL

I appreciate very much the introduction you gave to Dr. Finkel's presentaion.

Yeah!!! Billy is for sure full of caca. It got worse when he went to Joe Rogan podcast.

James 2:19 says, "Demons tremble at the mere mention of the name of Jesus".

Answer is: No

The Assyrians (Ashuri) who are the rightful inheritors of this legacy are being chased out of their ancestral lands in what is today northern Iraq and their legitimate rights to their ancestral lands are being confiscated by those who are falsely claiming that the lands are theirs. Lies are being told, the western governments with the US on the top of the list and the iraqi regime are supporting the usurpers

Regarding the lady who saw her grandfather walk across the lawn - there is a third explanation - an old man did indeed walk across the lawn and he bore an uncanny resemblance perhaps in clothing, gait and facial appearance to her grandfather. Sufficient for both her and her mother to be certain that they had seen him. Although this seems extremely unlikely, when you take into account all the times that all the people you have ever met have looked out of the window and not seen their dead grandfather and not reported his absence, this explanation begins to sound more likely to me than the existence of ghosts.

re ghosts and skulls - I think it is completely understandable that ghosts should be summoned into skulls - you can see this in both Celtic (Bran's head) and Germanic (Mimir's head) mythology, where heads/skulls seem to have been consulted for their wisdom. Going back further to the Neolithic we find skulls 'restored" with plaster around the middle east as perhaps part some similar sort of ancestor ritual. I think it is clear that in ancient times, when you grandfather or father or someone who you held in huge personal esteem died, you would endeavour to keep their memory alive by preserving their head or skull on the equivalent of your mantelpiece or family shrine. You would feel lost without them so having them close by would be an understandable comfort. The whole body would be too big and smelly and they wouldn't be needing it anyway and the head was clearly the seat of consciousness and being. In times of stress, you would sit in your armchair by the fire with your pipe and converse with your grandfather, seeking his wisdom in helping you navigate through your latest problem. Even today, some people will go to a loved ones grave to talk to them in this way. Much more convenient if you don't have to leave your own living room. Given this background, it makes perfect sense that if you wanted to call up someone else's grandfather, the best way to do it would be via their skull.... I don't know much about Shinto, but I have seen Japanese family shrines and I believe that Romans had similar and although lacking a collection of skulls I assume that their usage would be much the same. In fact, the whole thing does feel comforting, maybe i should create my own family shrine with mementoes of ancestors and long gone pets... Thinking about it, I do occasionally talk to a picture of my long-departed dog - this is pretty much the same thing.

Sooo, why don’t you “Christians” obey Yeshua’s COMMANDS against rich people being able to not being eligible to enter the kingdom of heaven ( camels through eye of a needle was easier) . Requiring his first original followers to be Communist and hold all property in common , trust for god to provide for all their needs like bids of the air and flowers of the fields. See ACTS ch 2 ( communist) , last part of ch 4, first ch 5 : a husband and wife were struck DEADin front of the first church by God. For not forking over ALL the money from sell Ing a piece of land to the cult . You don’t notice he never came back WITHIN THE LIFE TIME OF THE PEOPLE HE PROMISED TO . Hummm

So the creation, flood, and birth of Moses stories in the Bible resemble stories found in other ancient texts but we will conveniently dismiss that because the bible version is not exactly word-for-word the same?

He needs to go on Joe Rogan. If Rupert Sheldrake was there, professor Finkle certainly should be too.

He'd better come forward before his in situ knowledge is lost.

Why is he depicted as white?

He's an inspiration and a great source of knowledge. He has been a blessing to me.

130,000 tablets? 😮😮😮 I wish I could help 😊

Wow just subscribed from Québec, I could listen to Mr. Finkel all day 😊

What I find the most compelling about this is that the Pentateuch, even in its earliest copies, contains NO Akkadian or Assyrian loanwords. There are a number of Egyptian ones, though, specifically the ones for basket and reed. If the Jews were copying from Sargon story, we would expect a few Akkadian words to pop up here and there. We don't see that at all. This doesnt argue for a borrowed story from Akkad or Assyria. Instead, it actually fits with what the narrative says about itself - a Semitic people living in Egypt. Egyptian loanwords are exactly what we would expect in that case, and the words are exactly what we would expect them to be. But Egypt has no drawn son story. So there wasn't anything in Egypt to borrow from.

Michael Heiser is a liar. Bye bye.

Re: Discerning whether a person's experience of seeing a ghost is "real". Many people are deluded. In my psychiatric career, I have seen so many. Depending on culture, people may insist they see beings whom are not verifiably there. In today's society, they may be former relatives (or even current), may be members of special groups like CIA, KGB, BBC, etc, or religious entities. What is true is that Hindus see Hindu gods and Ghosts, Christians see the Holy Mary, and aboriginal gods are known only to the aboriginal communities. In psychiatry, we have a term - confabulation, which means to assemble a seemingly coherent narrative from matters that are fundamentally incoherent or unknown to the thinker. I remember a person with dementia, who did not know where she was, in a ward living room,. She was standing and I asked why. She explained she was standing at a bus stop waiting for "the 32". Depending on the severity of their illness, (and we should remember that the construct we describe as mental illness is a modern one), many patients are absolutely convinced that their delusary visitations (religious and otherwise) are real. If the illness remains untreated, what I have seen (in the early asylums) is that the framework of plausible explanations for the clearly delusory visions (e.g. TonyBlair is monitoring me through the TV, the KGB have the house surrounded) becomes ingrained into consciousness and guides actions. I had one patient whom only used writing on cardboard to communicate because, he adamantly insisted, the KGB had bugged his home. If you disagreed with this proposition the relationship was ended on the spot. These sorts of things are common in psychosis and often lead to admission. They are presently treatable with atypical antipsychotics and gteh patient can recover insight and sometimes remember their former categorical assertions and dismiss them as irrational. I feel that psychosis was far more prevalent in ancient societies because psychosis is brought on by stress and life was more much stressful, at least than what we currently experience in the West. Many other symptoms of psychosis, include what is otherwise seen in religious experiences. This is a whole essay. The point to remember is that the mind is ALWAYS confabulating. You might be sure that you can remember coming to the office yesterday, but you do not remember the whole process, nor are you able to make a comprehensive account (how many steps did you take, what shape were the clouds you saw), but you do recall key events that make it probably impossible that you did not (for example you remembering stepping onto the train). A person you are with steps out of the room, whilst they are not there your mind segueways into a construct of that person (as you perceive them) and you might internally carry on the dialogue. Later that construct will form part of your memory of the encounter. In short our mind is a stage for which we construct dramatis personae, even when we are at our most skeptical and rational. Apart from matters that can be confabulated, those who claim to see ghosts, cannot give any form of accurate context, especially irrelevant matters. The way I understand this is by comparison with an interview for a murder suspect by detectives. If a detective is familiar with the context of the murder, he can soon reveal that a person that a person cannot give details like there were two glasses of wine on the table. A person who is actually there might mention such arbitrary facts as they proceed to narrate other tales about events connected to the murder. Such tests applied to accounts of ghosts invariably fail. A similar thing occurs with concepts like heaven. Who does the plumbing, and who clears the sewers? Is there Wifi? Do the ancients get wifi? Do they continue to poo next to the river or can they use a modern toilet? Such questions are never answered, though some insist they have seen heaven and may even kill you for disagreeing.

Theophilus wrote that it was "God, Word, and wisdom." Why didn't you mention that?

Let's stop with this bronze age superstition please

We lost an awesome Believer.

I am not a believer and hold my own views. Great introduction and a great message. He is legendary and one of a kind to be able to hold all that knowledge, he is a character for sure.

I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me; [6] that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. [22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. [23] By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Isaiah 43:10 ASV Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Deuteronomy 32:39-40 ASV See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand. [40] For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever, Isaiah 40:8,10,18,25,28 ASV The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. [10] Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

Isaiah 46:5,9-10 ASV To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? [9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me; [10] declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; Isaiah 43:11 ASV I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. Isaiah 44:6 ASV Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God. Isaiah 48:12,17-18 ASV Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. [17] Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. [18] Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 1 Samuel 2:2 ASV There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock like our God.

Thank you. I've read that, but it's deeply touching to hear it read.

Moses was not a Hebrew by birth. His name was Ramesses - Ra Moses - Ra being the name of the Egyptian sun god. Moses identified with the slaved Hebrews and God chose him to free them. He so identified with the Hebrews that they "adopted" him, and thus adopted the birth story. It does not take away any truth from the rest of Moses' story.
