Thomas, You are very, "generous," with Biblical dating, perhaps to the point of inaccuracy. With no contemporanious references to the Temple of Solomon in the New Testament it is leading more scholars to date Mark after 70 AD. With the conspicuous apologetics woven into John, I suspect a much later date than the synoptic gospels (and a lot of scholars). They catch up eventually. Ehrman is evolving. Not long ago he refused to identify as atheist, preferring, "agnostic."

When I was getting my degree at a Jesuit University I had to take three semesters of Theology. That is when I had a professor explain that the bible was written by those to reflect their period. Things were taken out or added to meet a certain narrative they wanted.

[@afwalker1921]

When I was studying Latin, my Jesuit professor admitted that Our Lady was simply Isis, the mother of Horus. He suggested that I compare the iconography of Jesus with Serapis. He conceded that all of my inflammatory criticisms of Roman Christianity were correct. I love Jesuits...

[@pascalmartin1891]

​@@afwalker1921do you mean that Jesus had no mother? According to the Bible, he did not have a father, but you seem to be implying one step further.. 🥴 In Europe Christian practices adapted to _replace_ the local religious practices. Days of pagan celebration became Christian holidays. The worshipping of saints replaced the pantheon of gods: there are saints to heal disease, others are worshipped to guarantee a good harvest, etc. A few days ago the Archbishop of Belgorod called its inhabitants to pray the "local" Saint to protect them against Ukrainiens attacks (and misguided Russian bombs..) Christianity is morphing back to its pagan's origins. I find it very likely that the same happened in Egypt: the story was "restyled" to match the local culture and fuse with it. Some of the Bible sections that appear odd to us might be remnants of the ancient religion of Egypt. The monotheistic Christian religion has an incredible talent for polymorphism. 🧐

[@afwalker1921]

@@pascalmartin1891 No, sir! I am going two steps further! I am saying that the Son of Heaven is a carryover from pharonic paganism, that your dude IS the sacred son of Isis. The Ptolomaic version of this was a hybrid god called Serapis. I would suggest you look into this. Serapis is Jesus with a bowl of wheat on his head. All of this is silly, and better left to the distant past. Anything that can make everything needs nothing from you, not blood, not belief, not obedience, not anything. If your god wants blood, you are worshiping something other than the Creator, and you should be careful... free your mind...

[@nicked_fenyx]

This video is *so* important. As an ex-missionary (of the Pentecostal variety), learning the true history of the Bible was what initially caused me to begin questioning my faith. The biggest hit for me was learning about the addition/extension of the book of Mark (the earliest written gospel and one of the primary sources for the other gospels). Considering how different Christianity might be today if it had been based on the original text was mind blowing to me. I mean, if you rely on the oldest available version of Mark, it essentially ends with three mourning women taking the word of a random young man that the reason Jesus' tomb was empty was because he rose from the dead. Rather than questioning this man further or considering a more likely reason for a dead body's disappearance (like someone stealing/moving the body.... perhaps even the man they encountered there?), the women left the tomb and *told no one* what they saw. The end. If Jesus had actually been raised from the dead and seen alive by loads of people after being so publicly executed, that would be a rather odd thing for the author of Mark to leave out of a book whose entire purpose was to catalogue the major events of Jesus' life, right? But you never hear pastors share this info with their congregations, and very few Christians ever learn about or think this through, despite several versions of the Bible (including the NIV) including a footnote that literally explains that the earliest versions of Mark end after verse 8 of chapter 16 (after the phrase "Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid."). This - along with other aspects of the Bible's history that nearly all Christian scholars agree upon - changed everything for me. I had been taught that the Bible was the inerrant, unchanging word of God. I had been taught that you couldn't even have a stable sense of right vs wrong without an unchanging foundation like the Bible to base it on. I had been told repeatedly that the fact that the Bible existed for so long without changing was one of the major proofs of the truth / divine inspiration of what it contained. Realizing that the Bible had undergone hundreds of thousands of changes, some of which were *incredibly* significant, was the first and most important card which, when removed along with many others, caused the whole house to fall. As noted in this video, changing one's entire worldview isn't easy. I underwent a years long process of ruthlessly chasing down every bit of evidence-based knowledge I could find - a process which continues to this day. I've realized that the whole premise of having an "unchanging foundation" upon which to base one's morals is incredibly dangerous specifically because it does not allow for adjustments based on new evidence, no matter how strong. I struggled the first few years with readjusting my view on life, but I'm much happier now. I no longer have to shut down my natural curiosity. I've given myself permission to look up answers to random questions, and learned *so many* cool things as a result. And I welcome evidence that may conflict with my current beliefs, because - rather than fear it - I view it as another opportunity to learn. Life is better when you're open to new information. Hopefully this video can help start others down a similar path. It may be hard, but man is it worth it!

Here's my take, on the story of creation. The Bible says the earth was created in seven days. But why does that have be taken literally as earth days? If God created the stars, as an example why would it have to 'earth days'? Scientists today have discovered various period, sometime called ages, in the earth's development. Scientist now believe that our known universe seems to have a starting point, now called the Big Bang Theory. So my point is that many thing in the Bible can be understand as allegories, not literally. So my point is also, if some people think the Bible is just made up stuff, is it okay to murder people despite what the Ten Commandments says? Obviously not, in my view. I happen to believe that the Ten Commandments are the model to build a successful communities. But they need to be taught as such, not just posted a wall.
