This has long been one of my favorite channels, but this video elevates my view even further. This is so masterfully done, even from a historical perspective alone, but from a religious viewpoint, it is incredibly respectful for having been made by a non-Christian-and I was particularly excited to hear you included us Eastern Orthodox! Here in the West we usually get left out, or just lumped in with the Roman Catholics, LOL. One additional point I would add to your later discussion about the numerology of the genealogies is that 14 is the gematria/numerological value of David (DVD). Since St. Matthew was writing to a primarily Jewish audience, his Gospel focuses on how Christ is the fulfillment of the Jewish Messianic prophecies, a king of the line of Judah (Gen. 49:10) and of the line of David (2 Sam. 7:12-13). Arranging his genealogy this way is just another reference to the Scriptures the Jews of his time would have known well. Wonderful video, as always! Very insightful, thank you!

[@luxnova8211]

As a Westerner who is also Roman Catholic, I'm sorry you get the short end of the stick and that you got lumped in with us. On a side note, I agree, it is nice to hear about our religious backings and the stories of our God from a non-believer. Its a breath of fresh air to hear such a concice discussion without it being used as a weapon for or against the belief.

[@greatvidznaga3183]

Belief in Bible not religion!!! Because Bible is the words of God whereas religion is a man made!!!! Religion branches divide us!!! God did not made roman catholic, protestant, and so on, it was made by human!!!

[@Kelly-uv9rh]

@@greatvidznaga3183 the Bible is a religious text compiled and confirmed by the Orthodox/Catholic Church (pre-schism). It is a liturgical text that is situated within Holy Tradition, not opposed to it. There is no such thing as “just following the Bible” in Christianity; this is not a historical position of Christianity, is not found in Holy Scripture, and in practice, fails, because each person injects their own biases into what Holy Scripture says. You cannot “follow the Bible” apart from the traditions of the Church. May the Lord bless you and keep you, my friend, and lead you on the path of truth 🙏🏻☦️

[@greatvidznaga3183]

We should belief what the Bible says and keep faith on it because Bible is the true words of God e.g in catholic Mother Marry is given more important but Bible did not mention to give more important to mother Marry..... That was my real view point my dear friend!!!! God bless you too

[@Kelly-uv9rh]

​@@greatvidznaga3183 I see where you're coming from, and I used to feel the same as you, but the more I read Scripture and understand the historical context of Scripture, the more it becomes clear that the Bible *does* give Mary preeminence (not to elevate her to equality with God, which neither Orthodox nor Roman Catholics do). She rightly deserves this honor because she is the Mother of God. I think you'd agree that Jesus is King, so I won't touch on that, but we must then consider who is Queen. Well, that's Mary, of course! In the Old Testament, the Queen of Israel was not the king's wife, but his mother. Note how Michal, David's first wife, is never described as queen, nor Abigail, a later wife. His only wife to receive the title of Queen is Bathsheba, the mother of King Solomon. In 1 Kings 1:15-31, we see Bathsheba intercede on Solomon's behalf to obtain the throne; in the following chapter, Solomon's half-brother Adonijah appeals to Bathsheba to intercede to the king for him, and in 2:17 he says to her, "Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you." In verse 20, Solomon says, "Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you." And in verse 19, we see she has a throne at his right hand. The gebirah, the Hebrew queen-mother, is the right hand of the king and is the chief intercessor to him. Jesus was incarnate in a Jewish context, and He knew this. He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Thus, we can safely conclude that Mary is the Queen Mother of our Lord and King Jesus Christ, and in turn, the chief intercessor to Him for us. (This doesn't mean we can't approach Him directly! We certainly can :) But what king refuses His mother?) In Luke 1:28, the Archangel Gabriel appears to Mary and calls her "highly favored" and "blessed among women." This is certainly high praise from an angel! Her older cousin Elizabeth echoes this praise in verse 42; in Jewish culture, it was custom for the younger to honor the elder, NOT the other way around, so clearly Elizabeth recognizes an elevation of her young cousin Mary. In her song of praise, Mary says, "He has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly," referring to herself. The Greek "exalt" is hypsoō, which carries royal connotations. Further, in verse 35, Gabriel says, "the power of the Highest will overshadow you"; the Greek used here is an inflection of episkiazō, which is the same word used to describe the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit on the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 40:35 (Greek Septuagint). It is clear from this chapter alone that Mary is deserving of praise! (NOT worship, which is reserved for God alone!) Christians have given the Virgin Mary, the Theotokos (Greek for God-bearer), honor since the very founding of the Church! Her position of honor is 100% biblical. I hope this is helpful!! Please let me know if you have any more questions! :)

It should be noted that, while having two or three children with the same name would have been quite normal in a Greco-Roman household, it was very uncommon in Jewish households.

@@andrewsuryali8540 it was even worse then that in the Roman tradition; Where men had at least prenomen as Marcus, Gaius of Sextus, the woman did not even had prenomen of their own, all daughters were named as being daughters of such and such gens. A professor Latin once told the practise of name children among the Roman farmer pretty basic: After the first three sons they just started counting, Sextus just means the 6th one. Ceasar belonged to the gens Julia so his daughter was called (a) Julia, he had a few aunts on his fathers side also called Julia. When there were three daughters in a household of the Julian family they would be Julia Major, Julia Minor and Julia Tertia. The names of the Agrippina was actual Vipsania as they came from Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. Agrippa was a nickname as Ceasar actually was too.

how can that be? archaeology strongly helps to prove religion as a construct of us mere mortals how does it make you feel to see the bones of animals that lived millions of years ago? that aren't mentioned in your bible? genuine questions, no hate intended

[@jk-2053]

@@mowvu I mean, it might not mean much coming from me, someone who isn't religious, but it doesn't seem hard to believe in one thing and see that there's plenty of people in the past who believed in various different things. Similarly, I believe in modern-day science to explain the world around me while accepting that it's flawed and incomplete in many ways, and I don't find it hard to reconcile this with the fact that many people of the past to had their own forms of science that I disagree with. For example, the Greeks have the belief that all things in the world are made of classical elements: earth, water, air, fire, and aether. This was their form of science. I don't agree with their science or the science of many other older civilizations, but the fact that many other civilizations having a form of science as a construct to explain the world around them doesn't make me believe modern science less. Heck, an average religious person would probably agree that not everything they believe in is correct, yet it's not strange to hold strong to your current beliefs. For example, you probably find it unlikely for ALL of what you think is true to be true (because you believe countless things to be true, so it's likely at least some of them will be wrong), yet you'll still believe each of your individual beliefs to be true, like that the Earth is round or that the world is made of atoms, because that's what you grew up learning and understanding while finding the most intuitively reasonable. And if you found proof that one of your beliefs is incorrect (say a scientific study you believed in turned out to simply be wrong), would that make you no longer believe in all your other beliefs? No, you'd likely find some explanation/rationalization as to why you were wrong (perhaps that specific scientist or experiment was bad, or some systemic issue causes bad studies like these to arise), then change that one belief (and perhaps closely related beliefs and similarly derived beliefs), then keep your remaining ones untouched. Human beings are varied/diverse creatures, so it's not strange for us to believe wildly different things such that should a specific incorrect belief prove to be fatal (e.g. berries that look like this are safe to eat), not everyone dies for believing in the same thing.

[@robertbethel6074]

@@mowvu What? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Archeology has done nothing but back up and confirm the Bible. Many biblical people and places have been found through archeology. Archeologists even refer to the Bible when they are excavating any area the Bible refers to. As for the bones of animals that lived millions of years ago, we just use our best guess as to their age with carbon dating but while it’s a tool used to determine age it’s not the only tool and it’s far from being perfect and at times wildly inaccurate. We’ve found dinosaur bones with soft tissue which according to science lasts much less than 1M years. We’ve carbon dated dinosaur bones to only a few thousand years old. There have been recent known living animals that passed away and we carbon dated them and got crazy results like 30,000 years old. It’s just science using their best guess and science is always changing. I would put all my eggs into that one basket just because a rock with uranium decay dates to 14.6 Billion years.

In my own family(!) we have 3(!) different spellings for our last name, because it was translated from German into Polish back into German centuries ago, and my ancestors themselves weren't too sure about the spelling anymore, and my grandma only got the name from her husband, my grandpa, who wasn't around to set the record straight when his sons and daughters were getting married, so 3 different variations of the name stuck and spread. It's funny, because it's a very unique last name, so you can always tell we are all related, but at the same time it really throws off the officials when there are 3 separate spellings of what is clearly meant to be the same surname, yet nobody can decide which of the 3 is the one true one. So if this can happen in less than 70 years, imagine how confusing things will get in a couple centuries time!

You could say there are 36000 seperate concepts to the one god. Not including the fact many claim a personal relationship, which is never entirly the same as the persons sat next to you in church. Meaning you actually have about 2.4 billion, slightly the same concepts of a one singular god. If that doesnt point out the sheer stupidity of unitedly worshipping one singular god, thats different in everyones personal mind! Comical. Do you also include judaism and islam. How about tracing the roots of the concepts christianity was adopted from. Sumerian beliefs. Most of the stories are hijacked from there. Along with eygptian storys, like daniel. Originally eygptian, hijacked. Changed slightly and proclaimed as your own. Epics of gilgermesh contains Creation story Adam and eve Garden of eden Moses character and the great flood. Plus many more. Some 5000 years before the time the character moses was meant to have lived. This is your religions true history.

No. There are step by step instructions on how to treat ALL, not just "some" who "might agree with you." "Narrative" is close-mindedness. It allows for human "grays" while GOD IS black & white. YOUR REASONS for ANY action won't matter. The intent of every present moment flows into each one after affecting more than yourself. Even when you think you are alone & no one sees. A murderer affects more than themselves & their victim, correct? A thief passes the cost on to everyone else. A liar spreads disharmony & harm to those who hear & to those their lie is about. An apathetic person is the worst. Seeing harm to another & not offering help is apathy. The ONLY REAL instructions: treat OTHERS as they WANT to be treated. Open your home to someone who NEEDS a hand up, BUT they MUST want to rise from their position & HELP THEMSELVES to where you are showing them. Feed someone outside a store or buy them a bottle of water. Kindness. Intent. Living as Jesus did. No matter HIS intent, how much LOVE did it take to THINK His GOD had abandoned Him & STAYED UPON THE CROSS for ALL SIN, in His belief? Would YOU do that? I would take it from Him IF I could. See more than what others teach you. Even me. THINK for yourself.

I just finished reading the Bible for the first time in chronological order. I highly recommend it to be read this way. It’s apparent that details mattered very much to the Jews and those who wrote the Bible. Luke, a Greek physician, was exceptionally detailed oriented. In Hebrew (apparently) each name in the genealogy of Christ has a meaning and when read in order tells the story of Christ’s coming and the Good News. Just like the numbers, it all has a deeper meaning

Jews didn't even exist when the Torah and prophets were written, so what would detail supposedly mattering to them have to do with anything related to the bible? The bible records the words of ISRAELITE prophets, and was written by ISRAELITE scribes. "Who are Israelites; To whom pertaineth the adoption, And the glory, And the covenants, And the giving of the law, And the service of God, And the promises; Whose are the fathers, And of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." Rom 9:4-5 "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew, or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or Hebrew." -The Jewish Almanac, 1980, p.3 There were Israelites in the Kingdom of Judaea, and Israelites of the Kingdom of Israel. Those in Judaea were called JUDAEANS, not "Jews" as the Jewish Almanac attests. It's difficult to believe that supposedly "Spirit Filled Christians" could be so easily duped with such a simple Bait & Switch ploy. (Replacing Judaeans with Jews)

I don't believe "THE ONLY WAY TO GO TO HRAVEN IS TO BELIEVE IN CHRIST ONLY." In My Humble opinion, Since we know God loves us all, he had to send different "prophets/Teachers to reach all his children. SO he sent "Buddha" for that part of the world. He sent Mohammad for that area of the country. And the Hindu God's for India and that area. The Native Americans believe in the Creator. The father of everything. (Many are Catholic , with NA traditions worked in.) Many religions have the same creation stories. The same standards to live by. It is "Evil" teachers of any religion who pevert their OWN holy readings. This only makes sense to me. There are good holy people of all religions. So, I think there will be all different religions and people going to "Heaven." If you have "No church affliation, the church ID reccomend ID a group called "Friends." Sometimes they are called 2X2's. They might be hard to find as they don't believe in spending money on "Churches." The preachers go from area to area preaching to the group in that area.

Thank you for your thoughtful discussions of these issues. I'm interested in scholarly Bible study, but it's not always easy to find fact-based resources that don't engage in antitheism. (Side note: in all my years of going to church I don't recall hearing the idea that Mary of Magdala was the sister of Martha. Certainly gives a new perspective on that story!)

[@runenorderhaug7646]

I guess it is difference of perspective there as I would argue most scholarily resources fact based reaoueces shy away from antitheism. In fact many are often bound by what i would argue is a bit of a problematic contract of acceptence on certain issues(even if they dont believe) for many of their jobs on scholarily work. Then again i guess what is antitheism to some theists may be no where near antitheism to those who dont actually believe in the stuff and are trying to explore it.

Well when they say "son" they usually just mean descendant, so it's okay to miss out generations from that pov

[@shamrock5725]

Would that example also be used for the terms "sons of god" (which is typically presented as either human followers of YHWH or angels) but in this example could be used to say that God literally had descendants? And for that matter, if Jesus is the "son of god" would that then lean more towards the idea that Jesus was also a decendant (created not equal of god) too?

[@EvieOConnorxoxo]

@@shamrock5725 Perhaps, but they also refer to Jesus as "son of man" and "son of David", and it's definitely what they mean in those examples. So sure you could take it that way.

[@davidd34]

Re Mary & Joseph.... one of them had a line of kings, while the other had a line of priests. It's said of Jesus that He is a King & Priest. That can be taken 2 ways.... one is via actual biologically thru Mary & Joseph (although remember there was no consummation between Mary & Joseph) perhaps by claiming Jesus as his son in that time period & culture Jesus would be considered Joseph's son. (Not sure how that worked? Maybe like today's adoption perhaps. Then there's the spiritual angle in that Jesus is called King of kings and our high Priest. Overall interesting to say the least.
