Vortex, always cool in any sentence.

No Christians can assure anyone that the gospels written in Greek were the exact words of Jesus who spoke to his people in Aramaic. NT words are not the true words of God, but translation only. When Paul said that the scriptures are inspired by God. That phrase applies to the jewish scriptures, not to the gospels as they were written decades after Paul died.

It deeply hurts that such lies are not just in the world but also in church, even in the pulpit. God is Sovereign. Thank you for sharing. Amen 🙏

This is Jonah 3:1 not 2:11

Hello... have a pleasant day, as this comment thread were free I would like to advertise our fruits 😊 First let us delve into a 1 hour and 13 mins. you tube video presentation and here is the title : Is Philippines Ophir? Recent News. Live in Davao. Message to Congress/ The God Culture/ - and I suggest it was the Lanzones fruits -

Ευχαριστώ σού από Bangladesh.

Odd question... is there any indication of how Paul (and his fellow rabbis) felt about these Israelites prior to his conversion? Was his desire for them kindled by a new eschatological view of " all Israel"?

Absolutely, homosexuality is the result of upbringing

Quomodo agis te habes? Agis is something like how are or how do. Gratias tibi socius!

May the Lord bless and strengthen this brave young man!

"you can't understand something until you've walked through the fire" (paraphrase) 16:34 - excellent

Matt, the cover thumbnail on this video has the same text as with Matt Grech (right picture, but wrong text)

Lies Matthew 19 12 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ says God prefers same-sex marriage and confirms transgender people are born that way. Fake ministers all know Malachi 3 8 is telling THEM to return the money. I am Elijah, the forerunner to the return of Jesus. The fake ministers are Satan worshipers lying 🤥 to you on purpose and they all know it. Anyone that doesn't stop supporting others using the name of God to take money for anything at all and except the fact God prefers same-sex marriage won't be here much longer. JESUS was TRANSGENDER 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, a female man returning as a female woman in a lesbian relationship with a male woman. My wedding is already paid for and will be broadcasted all over the world. Run from the fake ministers if you want to live.

What is this word they both use so often that sounds like takkxa??

👍👍👍

This is very useful. Thank you

I find these videos very helpful, but I have a suggestion (though it's probably not feasible). In the conversations, I sometimes have difficulty figuring out what you're saying. If there were Koine subtitles, I could look up the words that I didn't know or understand something that my Erasmian ears didn't hear properly. This is probably a pretty big request, since I doubt the AI tools are able to handle Koine just yet. However, if even the introductory material was subtitled, I think it would really help my conversational Greek.

Thank you for this interview with Dr. Gurry. Will go look for the one with Dr. Meade. I’m in the process of reading their book, “Scribes and Scripture: The Amazing Story of How We Got the Bible”, and so glad for their work, especially when exposed to some of the past History Channel episodes (featuring ones like Bart Ehrman & some from the Jesus Seminar times).

I keep seeing people saying this JEWS ARE 2% OF THE POPULATION AND 22% OF ALL NOBEL LAUREATES: DOES THIS PROVE THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM AS ZIONISTS CLAIM? Perhaps they should reconsider their Nobel prize argument for Jewish supremacy. When you see a statistic like that the first question should be whether there is bias in the community before stating it's fulfilling scripture. Here's the actual statistics, and IF you wish to use them they actually confirm the stereotype, LEAST interested in PEACE and most interested in ECONOMICS (how does that fit into the BEATITUDES?) Jewish people have won Nobel Prizes in all six Nobel categories, which are chemistry, economics, literature, peace, physics, and physiology or medicine: Chemistry: 36 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 19% of the total Economics: 38 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 41% of the total Literature: 16 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 13% of the total Peace: 9 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 8% of the total Physics: 56 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 25% of the total Physiology or Medicine: 59 Jewish Nobel laureates, or 26% of the total As of 2024, the United States has won the most Nobel Prizes with 411 laureates, followed by the United Kingdom with 139. The Nobel Prize has been awarded to 965 individuals and 27 organizations since its inception in 1901. Here are some other countries with a significant number of Nobel Prize winners: Germany: 111 Nobel Prize winners France: 71 Nobel Prize winners Sweden: 32 Nobel Prize winners, including Alfred Nobel, the namesake of the award Japan: 29 Nobel Prize winners Canada: 28 Nobel Prize winners Switzerland: 27 Nobel Prize winners The United States also leads in Nobel Peace Prize winners with 23, including former President Barack Obama in 2009 Americans are only 4.2 percent of the Global population. The 22% of Jews as two percent of the population only represents American Jews (Israel isn't even in the running, also reinforces the idea that Jews are running America). Other countries with Jewish populations aren't producing the same statistics.

Actually, the first syllable was emphasized. The Greeks were trying to say it the same that they heard the Jews say it. His name was and is pronounced YEH-shoo, but the Greeks didn't have the "sh" sound, so they simply said YEH-soo or YEH-soos. Spanish speakers actually pronounce it closer to the original than English speakers do. They say heh-SOOS, which sounds closer than JEE-sus.

I'm a born and formerly born again Christian who put away childish things like superstition and magical thinking, but I found this video just to hear my chosen name spoken over and over. Thank you for supporting a trans person.

Why in that case we have to relay on some speculation? Why god or gods simply shows himself and solve that problem once for all, not only for Atheist but as well for these reliogius people who belive in incorrect god.

Thank you.

9:05 - WAIT - WHAT "observational tools" do we have available to "penetrate" further back than 10e-43 seconds (that refutes the atheists)? Just asserting it doesn't make it so. 8:35 - and WHERE is your "practical proof" that there is a god (and there is a beginning)? Just asserting it doesn't make it so. 12:00 - Moreover, there's more than one image of a black hole (a different one than Messier 87 - go look it up). Your assertion is NOT correct. To assert that a god kick started everything at the beginning of the universe (and at the beginning of the Cambrian 'explosion', an earthly event covering millions of years) is mere speculation.

LMAO, same old busted arguments you were trying against the new atheists 20 years ago (which were old then too)

Thanks for having Dr. Shaw and sharing the Core Apologetics website. We are working to serve and equip churches, organizations, and individuals with the "core" truths of Christianity to help them be faithful disciples. This looks like a lot of different things depending upon the context, but one of which as noted here, is that Dr. Shaw will be teaching a class live via Zoom on Trustworthy that churches/church members can attend.

Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending any acknowledgment as to the reality of any particular god until sufficient credible evidence is presented. My position is that *_I currently have no good reason to acknowledge the reality of any god._* And here is why I currently hold to such a position. Below are 11 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by certain theists that a particular god exists in reality. To be clear, these are not premises for any argument which _concludes_ there to be no gods. These are simply facts I must take into account when evaluating the verity of such a claim. If any of the following facts were to be contravened at a later time by evidence, experience, or sound argument, I would THEN have good reason to acknowledge such a reality. 1. I have never been presented with a functional definition of a god. 2. I personally have never observed a god. 3. I have never encountered any person who has claimed to have observed a god. 4. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 5. I have never been presented with any _valid_ logical argument, which also introduced demonstrably true premises that lead deductively to an inevitable conclusion that a god(s) exists in reality. 6. Of the many logical syllogisms I have examined arguing for the reality of a god(s), I have found all to contain a formal or informal logical fallacy or a premise that can not be demonstrated to be true. 7. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 8. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 9. I have never knowingly experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 10. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed appears to have *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 11. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have been presented have either been refuted to my satisfaction or do not present as _falsifiable._ ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the reality of any particular god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgment until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstantiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.

What’s the Christian version of mansplaining?

I just got through buying some new books for my kids from you. You just sold me on two new books for me :D

Fantastic interview with a wealth of illuminating insights, some hilarity and truly cogent, brilliant and enthralling presentation. Fascinating and even, I would say, truly enlightening even possibly life altering. ENTIRELY VALUABLE.

Has this episode aired yet?

The big difference you don't SEEM TO GET IS THIS....YOUR BIBLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DIVINE...RE,MEMBER..the point you are making is the bible is no different then any other book...if you are comparing it to other books...then it is not any different...you just admitted it....game set match...did you not say that...Have you guys ever woke up and said...this is over 2,000 years ago...where is Jesus...where is God...why did these guys all show them selves back then ?? and not now...where is zeus ??? jesus says back in one generation ?? Paul, the traitor to the jews, says the same thing...when are u guys going to hold these guys to the truth ??? NEVER ..YOUR CAREER...YOUR MONEY... YOUR CAREER...YOUR MONEYYY...YOUR REPUTATIONS... all of that will never allow u to change your mind... A word about DR Bart....He never says a bad word about a Christian...every chance u guys get u criticize him...no..you are not a christian...he is more of a christian actually...do u think someone as smart as scholars like Dr Bart, and so many more...would change their mind if the evidence was not so over whelming...stubborn..stubborn...just go watch the debte with Dr bart and see what u think of yor answers...

It's my hope that Dr. Elke's studies will contribute to solving the conflict over the true identity of the ancient nation of #Assyrians.

Brilliant and enlightening

Bible Vocab Plus is my favorite vocab app. It also has build-in spaced repetition. Also, Biblingo Learner version is very good and definitely worth $9 a month, recently reduced from $22 a month.

My brother in Christ! Praise the LORD

This was great! Some of these I already practiced, but I'll need to grow in using others. However, I have a question: how much immediate feedback is too much? As a personal example, I noticed, in my first year of teaching using a communicative approach that students became anxious because I was correcting them too often, and they often shied away from producing any output at all. This year, I've tried to correct a little less, even when other students notice a mistake, but students have been more open about producing output. I have a sense that the latter is better, despite the fact that most students' output is rarely 100% correct, because students are producing more output overall. Is that right?

if anyone wants lots of Biblical Hebrew stories at the level of each progressive step of learning, check out the very different Grammar called The First Hebrew Primer. Starting in ch 8, at the end of each chapter is a story using mostly only the vocab to the point (a few new ones at the top of the story for reference, and only the grammar points learned up to that particular chapter.

שלום ישי, אנוכי שמח לשמוע לכם על הדרכים ללמד וגם ללמוד את הלשון העברית. לא ידעתי אשר אתה עוד בסטלר בעיר בוסטון at Sattler in the city of Boston אך זה טוב אשר מלמד שם יש חסד מן יהוה אשר אתה עוד שם ברוך אתה ביהוה χαῖρε φίλε Μιχαηλ, εἶπον τῷ Ιεσαι ὅτι χαίρων ἀκούω ὑμῶν λαλούντων περὶ τῶν μεθοδολογιῶν διδάσκειν τὴν ἑβραϊκὴν γλῶσσαν ἀλλὰ καὶ λέγω σοι τὴν ἑλληνικν ὥς ἤδη νομίζεις φίλε. εὐλογείτω ὁ κύριος ὑμᾶς

HALC! So great to be with you on this interview. Thanks for asking me to share my story. Loved catching up. Blessings on you, your fam, and your ministry!

Assuming Matthew wrote the gospel now bearing his name, isn't there a contradiction between the Great Commission and Acts 1:3? Even assuming the "40 days" is hyperbole and means merely one week's worth of teaching, isn't it suspicious that Matthew's quote from the risen Christ on kingdom of God stuff is so short it could be stated in 15 seconds? I'm sorry, I don't think "compression" can explain why Matthew avoids the specifics of what the risen Christ taught for "40 days". Matthew was very interested in Jesus' kingdom of god sayings, so their non-appearance in Matthew's resurrection narrative sounds more like the risen Christ never said such things (thus Acts 1:3 is wrong), it does not sound like Matthew deliberately excluded sayings of the risen Christ. Thus we can be reasonable to say it is highly unlikely that both the Great Commission and Acts 1:3 are equally true.

Also, Caleb's book is available in Logos Bible Software

This was a great conversation. We posted this elsewhere on the GH page, but we'll copy it again here: The thrust of the conversation, and the thrust of the CLT, is simply this: university entry-level exams SHOULD include the great Christian thinkers (alongside those influential non-Christian thinkers and writers) and writers of antiquity precisely because these minds helped create and develop the university itself. It's kind of like ignoring the Founding Fathers and the history of the birth of the US whenever providing examinations for becoming a citizen through naturalization. That would be absurd!

What is the official name of the book?

Excellent info; also the Prodigal Son might be included.

I am wondering how you can use OneNote in logos. Thank you for this presentation It was so enriching and it demonstrates clearly how much we can discover working with the original languages.

Very insightful conversation. I appreciate Dr. Bianco's observation that we essentially live as materialists with a touch of spirituality. I believe it's crucial for us to understand and teach our children that God created us both physically and spiritually, with each aspect influencing the other.
