I am a new Christian (around 2 weeks) and I've recently started reading the bible. So far, I've made it to Noah's ark and it's a really interesting story. I pray to God each day and ask for forgiveness and for him to protect my friends and my family. Could you make a video about what to do if you're a new Christian and cover topics such as how to study the bible and how to pray to God? I feel like it would be beneficial for new Christians such as myself and even older Christians

[@JmonVids]

I've got some good news for you. One of the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, and he taught them how to pray with the Lord's prayer. The Lord's Prayer appears twice in the Bible. The first is in Matthew 6:9-14, and the second is in Luke 11:2-4. I won't quote the whole prayer here, but the main takeaways are that we ask God to provide for us, we ask God to forgive us for our sins while we forgive others who sin against us, and we ask that God protect us from evil.

[@ProbeScout]

I commend you from starting from the beginning, though that's probably not the best course to take for your experience. Wonderful questions, and if I can weigh in a little myself, I have found studying and reading prayers in scripture to teach me a lot. I personally reccomend some prayers of Jesus such as in John 17 or at Gethsemane in Matthew 26

The apocrypha was originally written in Hebrew and later translated into Greek like the rest of the Old Testament. Rabbinic Jews only excluded the apocrypha when they standardized their canon in the 2nd century AD, before then the canon was disputed. Protestants don’t accept the duetorocanon because they wanted to match the canon of the masoretic text.

[@JamesMoore-uq5oi]

Let's not forget that since 4th century BC, Greek culture and language creeped in through Judah by the rule of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic period. Tobit might've been originally written in Aramaic due to the geographical lingua franca. Wisdom of Solomon & 2 Maccabees are originally Greek and reflect Hellenistic culture. BTW, this doesn't discount them at all - they're still scripture. The rest are likely originally Hebrew, especially Judith and Baruch by style. If I may rant... It's not surprising at all that 2nd century Jews rejected everything after Daniel (chronologically, or Malachi categorically) since Rabbinic Judaism is not the same thing as Judaism at the time of Christ. Furthermore, we can see through the Talmud and other Rabbinic texts that they reject Hellenistic ideals for more "traditional" principles that establish a lens for bias against the scripture in question.

Neither Matthew and John themselves wrote the gospels as we know today.

Tradition holds that St. Luke was a companion of St. Paul (he wrote the book of acts describing himself in the first person in some segments) and St. Mark was a companion of St. Peter (he is mentioned in the epistles of st. Peter) so they both based their gospels on eyewitness accounts and both are closely linked to the apostles even if they were not part of the 12.

After the death of Emperor Constantine, whom say founded the Catholic Church, which is a lie, at the synod of the year 374, Pope Damasus I issued a decree in which a list of the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments was made. Therefore, he asked the historian Jerome of Stridon to use this canon and write a new translation of the Bible that included an Old Testament with 46 books and the New Testament with its 27 books. Jerome then traveled to the East to lead a hermitage and returned years later to Rome, becoming his private secretary for some time. Finally, it was at the Council of Rome in the year 382, ​​commanded by Pope Damasus I, when the Catholic Church established the Biblical Canon with the list of the New Testament of Saint Athanasius and the books of the Old Testament of the LXX Version (Septuagint). ; This version was translated from Greek to Latin by Saint Jerome at the request of Pope Saint Damasus I himself, which in practice would be the first Bible in the concrete and full sense of the word. When Damasus sent Jerome to carry out his revision of the earliest Hebrew versions of the Bible, he produced a translation known as the Vulgate, which became popular because it was written in Latin. This version was approved by the Council of Trent in 1546, officially adopted in the liturgy and used by the Catholic Church for nearly fifteen centuries, replacing the Vetus Latina and causing Latin to become the main language of worship.

It's a good video, but you were wrong to say that the difference between major and minor prophets is their importance. In fact, it's just the size of the books. Another point is that you missed the opportunity to substantiate that, Jesus being the Word of God itself, is the basis on which we consider the writings of the prophets and apostles to be inspired and that because he was a Palestinian Jew, he was probably referring to the Canon Hebrew when he stated that scripture is inspired by God. Finally, you could have said that the Apostles already referred to each other's writings as scripture and the Word of God (2 Peter 3:15-16, 1 Timothy 5:18 and 1 Thessalonians 2:13), before the church later defined the Canon of the Bible, which shows that its definition was not a determination, but a recognition.

It would be interesting if you made a video explaining the gnostic gospels and why they didn’t make the cut, or gnosticism more generally. i read that valentinius, a gnostic, nearly became the bishop of rome so gnosticism wasn’t some fringe cult but had real popularity and influence.

it had popularity and influence the same way arianism did, just because it was popular and influential doesnt make it not a fringe belief within overall christiandom

[@oza9287]

​@@InitialPCFirst it survivorship bias - because it was marginalised over time doesn't mean it was always fringe. Second, gnostic influence lingered in Christianity until the late middle ages in the form of sects such as the Cathars and the Bogomils, which were important to the discourses of the time, since many institutions and ideas were developed to counter them.

[@vincenzorutigliano7239]

SIRACH was literally written in Hebrew and was used by rabbi's as scripture even after the time of Jesus. Tobit and 1 Maccabees were written in Aramaic. And 2 Maccabees is the only Deuterocanononical proven to be authored in Greek. You know what else was written in Greek? The New Testament. This is a language fallacy. This is a bad video in light of what Joe Heshcmeyer and Trent Horn have been showing about how the Bible was compiled and the protestant errors about the Bible.

1:45 I think the Lord saying Moses wrote it is pretty clear

[@ProbeScout]

I think it's fair to say there is more complication than that. Composition of the Pentateuch really is a fiercely discussed issue and for good reason. To just bring a simple thing regarding say Deuteronomy, different book, fair enough. But there, we have accounts of Moses and his reaching to Israelites, "and then Moses died" and the text continues on, suggesting a non-Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy. Really getting into the other of the five gets a lot more technical in discussion of language used and contradictions in the text. By any chance are you familiar with the JEPD theory?

[@faboomkomapper]

@@ProbeScout what is jepd theory?

[@ProbeScout]

@@faboomkomapper It's been the most common scholastic view of the Pentateuch for quite a while. Comes from German of course, and stands for Jahwist (as in Yahweh in a more anglo form, the tetragrammaton/ The LORD), Elohist, Priestly, and Deuteronomy. These refer to 4 basic sources that are viewed as being used to create what we call the books of Moses. According to the theory, Deuteronomy comes from the Deuteronomist source of course, a lot of material in places like Leviticus comes from the Priestly, and most of the stories come from the Jahwist or Elohist sources, the specific means in the theory to distinguish depends on the name used for God in a passage. Essentially, each source is viewed as coming from different places, usually the J source being viewed as the oldest at around the 10th century bc, E source at 9th centure, P source in the 5th century, and D 6th century I do believe. There is a lot of reasons why people subscribe to such ideas, and a lot of things it deals with well. Personally, I do not believe in the theory's accuracy and find it unable to successfully interpret what happens in a number of passages, such as Genesis chapter 6. Sorry for the long text wall, I just hope to explain accurately, as relatively few I know are familiar with stuff like this. TL;DR 4 different sources from different time periods are believed by some to be used to compile the pentateuch post exile

[@kmxproducoes6070]

​​​@@faboomkomapper the theory that Pentateuch has been composed, mixing four sources written in different times of Israel's History the Yahwhist "J" and Elohist "E" sources written in early time of Monarchy, the Deuteronomist "D" source written mostly during time of Kings Hezekiah and Josiah and later expanded, and the Priestly "P" source written after the babilonian exile With Genesis, Exodus and Numbers based in J, E and P, Leviticus written based only in P and Deuteronomy as the name says based on Deuteronomist source, for more look at Useful Charts Channel or search for that in other sources

*History of the Bible in 2 minutes* -1st century: The apostles and disciples of Jesus wrote the Gospels, Acts, and epistles to guide early Christian communities. -2nd century: The Septuagint and some books of the New Testament were circulating among early Christians. Church Father Irenaeus identified the 4 Gospels in his writings. -3rd century: Origen of Alexandria made a list of New Testament books containing most of the current New Testament books except for James, 2 Peter, 2 John, and 3 John. -4th century: The Synod of Hippo (393) approved a Biblical canon of 73 books, containing 46 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books, pending approval by the See of Rome. In 397, the Council of Carthage again approved the same list. -5th century: St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin (Vulgate). Pope Innocent I names all the 73 books of the current Catholic Bible as canon in his Letter written to a Galican bishop in 405 AD. -15th century: The Council of Florence (1442) accepted the 73 books of the Bible as inspired by God. -16th century: Martin Luther started to question the canonicity of the Deuterocanonical books. He moved the 7 Deuterocanonicals to the appendix of his Bible translation. In response to Luther, the Catholic Church officially approved and canonized the list of 73 books that had previously been approved by the 4th-century Church councils.

W dedication (unless its a copy paste)

[@qwerty_L]

Me if I didn't know history: As if the deuterocanonicals weren't in another section already, you cite Jerome, but guess, even him questioned their canonicity, and you didn't cite all the other who did too because they are holes in your narrative, this type of one-sided history is very bad faith.

[@anycyclopedia]

@@qwerty_L Correct, St. Jerome questioned the canonicity of the Deuterocanonicals (mostly because he lived most of his life in Palestine with Jews). But he included them in his Vulgate. The point is that, since the compilation of the Bible, it had 73 books despite of some opposition. Also, most of the Church Father's who did questioned the canonicity of the Deuterocanonicals included at least one Deuterocanonicl book in their lists of canonical books.

[@qwerty_L]

@@anycyclopedia yet you didn't mention it the first time did you? You had to be confronted before giving a full picture? Why don't you also say how the deuterocanonicals were not considering full canonicals, and had a second kind of inspiration for most of the early church fathers? They were included but they didn't have the same authority as the normal canon? The name "deuterocanonicals" is literally the point, it's a second canon, not the same as the first canon

[@anycyclopedia]

@@qwerty_L ​ The names "Deuterocanonical" and "Protocanonical" were first used in the 16th century by the theologian Sixtus of Siena, a Jewish convert to Catholicism. So, that name doesn't prove anything. Deutercanonical books accepted by Church Fathers who rejected the canonicity of some other Deuterocanonical books: Origen of Alexandria: Baruch and 2 Maccabees St. Athanasius of Alexandria: Baruch (excludes Esther from canon) St. Hilary of Polties: Tobit and Judith St. Cyril of Jerusalem: Baruch (excludes Esther) St. Basil the Great: Sirach St. Gregory of Nazianzen: NONE (excludes Esther) So you can see that none of the Church Fathers rejected all the Deuterocanonical books. And in your logic we'll have to remove Esther from the canon.
