Timeline of the Life of Jesus 

Please make a video about the writing timelines of oral torah. Thanks

Can you make a family tree of Christian angels and fallen angels?

I suspect they are all published, but none or almost none survived to the modern day. I suspect this is due to a combination of low production rate and the target audience not placing any value on retention of these documents and viewing them as read and toss literature, which is common with all pamphlets of this style.

Should of looked at the comments before going on a 2 hour dive of copywrite, grave, and newspaper records

@@thinthest6832 , I found the same in a 3 second Google search. I surmise that the person you replied to did as much.

So much was self published in those days. There may not have been very many copies to begin with.

I wonder if there's a bounty for rare literature. I feel like some copy , as rare as it amy be, of the pamphletes still exist one way or the other.

I completely agree. It's outstanding.

As a believer (Christian) myself, I also agree. Far too many of my own have dogmatic views where even other Christian branches that may disagree even to a certain extent, will shun them out. I personally believe the Bible is not meant to be fully understood in one’s own lifetime. Rather it should be read over, meditated on, and ask questions for clarity. In my opinion, the Bible is much more nuanced than many give it credit for.

It would have been nice if The chart marked location down at bottom in the notes section. Very glad that video actually mentioned actual town names.

Funny enough, Matt’s not a Christian either. Just goes to show anyone can appreciate knowledge

Just curious, what religion are you?

@@jimfloyd6095 none really

​@@jimfloyd6095probably not religious

@@jimfloyd6095 Somewhere he mentioned that he's jewish (was an other video)

May I ask why you don’t believe?

@@TwentyJuan2121 I believe it's impossible to have knowledge of a divine creator's existence, though some - Elijah, Moses, St. Thomas, etc. - may have received such a gift. Faith is the only option I can conceive of, and I've tried to be faithful even to the extent of understanding that suffering is a necessary consequence of free will. But I don't believe in the mysteries because of the bigotry of so many adherents, because of their denial of scientific observation, and because so many claim to believe just so they can be part of a community of worshipers who exaggerate or lie about their experience of faith.

@@myghkl Interesting. I agree with the difficulty of conceptualizing the Creator, but for those questions or stumbling blocks I tend to refer to the architecture of our universe and what’s in it and find solace in the fact that their must be a grand architect. Now for me I believe the evidence leads to Christ due to the Bible’s Old testament prophecies being fulfilled then and in the New testament. I also empathize with you because of how many “Christians” seem to pretend or hyperbolize their experiences for clout or monetary gain. And not just that they don’t follow what they say to believe or preach. It’s frustrating and makes it difficult but for that I look to the Bible for those answers on why people are like that and realize that’s the nature of humans and that’s why we need God to help us be like He describes Himself to be, because if we don’t we are all destined to seek our own god of our hands/self. Question for you: Have you read the Bible fully and if you have what do you personally believe about it?

@@myghkl What about the New Testament did you like the most?

@@rijy191 Matthew 13:10-23, Mark 7:17-18 & 8:17-21 Christ speaks in parables. Those closest to him, those who became his apostles, say they don't understand him. How can those, hearing Christ for the first and only time, understand if his disciples can't? There are two important features of Christianity established in these portions of the Gospels. First, Christ is seen as irritable and lacking persuasive talent. While linking him to the impatient God of the O.T., it opens the door to Arianism. Second, the door is opened to theological interpretation initiated by the evangelists, continued by the Church Fathers and atomized in the 17th & 18th cen. by sects claiming that the scriptures should be interpreted by each believer in possession of the spirit. The more I learn about Christianity, the harder it gets to have faith.

Do it again, I would love to see/read it!

Would've loved to see your work man 🥺

Well, Mark followed Peter around and took notes & wrote the gospel.

Maybe one day someone will make GoT characters timeline chart, similiar to LoTR one that Matt mentioned? That would help George RR to finish his books quickly maybe?

@@aegyo9272 There is a dynamic map already

I mean, historically there was a guy named Jesus, who was from Nazareth. Like there are records saying he existed. So yeah, you'd have to have a realistic structure because it's literally happening in our world

The difference is that Biiblical history is archeologically proved and keeps being proved everyday... even if a person doesn't believe in the supernatural of the gospels (which science can neither deny or confirm), it's thoroughly childish to deny the veracity of the historicity of the gospel.

@@desativado-oficial How do you reconcile the Gospels contradicting themselves? Matt, Mark and Luke generally all agree with each other but John's in comparison is made up whole cloth. Some of the Bible's most important scriptures are from John such as 3:16 for example is quoted by every Christian. Unfortunely when scholars study the Bible it's John's Gospel is considered by far the most unreliable.

Haven't found any; can you name a few that aren't just the God of the Jews?

@@emryswilliams9190 Yes; Asherah and Dagon in the Old Testament, Zeus and Diana in the New.

​@@emryswilliams9190 then you haven't tried very hard have you. Baal is another good example.

@@darreljones8645 I've looked and haven't found them. Any specific verses? I should also ask to clarify: Are you saying they are considered real by the Bible or not?

@@emryswilliams9190 Asherah is sometimes used in the phrase "poles of Asherah". I know Dagon, the national god of the Philistines, is mentioned as "bowing down" (or at least his idol is) to the Ark of the Covenant in First Samuel. The New Testament gods (mostly the classical Greek ones) would be mentioned in Acts, Of course, the Bible does not consider them to be real any more than your standard Christian does. Actually, the best place to find these names might be a concordance.

I'm religious by any means 🙃

That's all they have.

​@@vincentcoppola9832"That's all they have." - that's all there is. When people believe in magic the response is either derision... or silence.

I think what you are hearing as 'snarky atheism' is just what you get when you try to speak objectively, and not as a committed Christian.

@@TheDanEdwards You are right. Silence is an option, but I think that is what the question was about, why be snarky when silence is more appropriate.

It’s been the end times for thousands of years, don’t worry

I’m still laughing about the end times comment.

Oh no. The end times? Not again! What's this now, the 64th time the end times have been declared by Christians?

His wives....they might want to skip that part.

@jonathannorris2052 well? Some of his wives were related to him, or to other important people, plus having more than one wife is very common in the Bible, so I don't understand way we make such a big deal of it

@@baldacchinonicholas7962Well when it comes to the Bible, it’s in there to teach a lesson….not to have multiple wives and to learn from the desires of iniquity, other wise you’re gonna have multiple arguments a day 😂(joke w truth) All seriousness though, the Bible shows the multiple wives in a bad light, never a good one, unlike Islam which is the opposite.

Well, I don't know about the opposite, the Quran does mention (you and your wives), but I don't know (if it's referring to an individual or a group), plus in (chapter 4 verses 1-5) it says to marry more than one, (if you have children to take care of), and says (it's better to have only one) so I don't think it's incorrigible? What do you think?

​@@baldacchinonicholas7962Wasn't one of Muhammed's wives very underage...?

The most common theory is that he actually traveled to Britain with his uncle who was a tin trader.

There is nothing to support the India theory however.

Don't forget about the spear through His heart.

It's not a theory if there's literally no objective historical or archeological evidence for it.

to save us from what?

Haha. Sorry about that!

Is it RU-vid or…{insert climactic music here}…Jesus sneaking in? He seems to master my feed as well😋Not a bad issue though.

Same here

That is so annoying.

Hailie Selassie was the last emperor of Ethiopia, a highland country in east Africa that had remained Christian since circa 300 A.D. despite being surrounded by Muslim countries for well over 1000 years. Ethiopia was never colonised, but when they caused bother to the British Empire in the 1800s, there was a quick invasion which resulted in a new and more compliant emperor being installed. Italy invaded in 1936 and briefly occupied the country until the British invaded, threw the Italians out and put Hailie Selassie back on the throne in about 1940. He continued to reign until the early 1970s when a socialist revolution resulted in the country becoming a republic. He went into exile and died soon after. Ethiopian emperors get a new name when they ascend to the throne, just like Catholic popes. So Josef Ratzinger became Pope Benedict and Hailie Selassie was born Ras Tafari. Ethiopia is an Oriental Orthodox nation, so their faith is rather different than the Roman Catholics and even Eastern Orthodox (Greece, Russia, etc). The emperor *strongly disapproved* of Rastafarianism which began in the West Indies (Jamaica I think) when people were looking for a black role model. Despite Ethiopia being an east African country and adherents of Rastafarianism being of west African origin with no genetic relationship, the Rastas depicted him as a new messiah for black people which horrified the devoutly Christian emperor. Wikipedia has excellent articles on both Hailie Selassie and Rastafarianism if you want to know more.

The chart is in the public domain so you can definitely make a similar video based on it. But you cannot simply copy our animations.

@@UsefulCharts thank you

Just google XKCD LOTR

Exactly. “Three days and three nights” was crammed into 28 hours 🙄

Roman politicians were up that early. They solved all matters of state from early dawn to noon and enjoyed aristocratic leisure after that

Bart Ehrman said that the gospels sometimes contradict each other. In the charts, for example, Jesus family goes to Egypt. That’s according to Matthew. According to Luke, no Egypt. They go to Jerusalem and Galilee. Both cannot be true. Same for the map of Jerusalem : we don’t know where all the locations mentioned in the Bible were. The city was destroyed in 70, and rebuilt after the Bar Kochba uprising. its inhabitants were banished, the city rebuilt as a roman city. So, nobody remembered where were Gethsemani garden or Golgotha were. They were « miraculously » rediscovered in the 4th century. So the chart is cherry picking, which is not honest.

@@chefchaudard3580 I don't think any gospels purport to be the _complete_ story. The mere fact that more than one is canonical suggests that no one is sufficient. So it seems fine that parts of the story are told in one, other parts in another.

@@Spearca no. There are contradictions in the Gospels. Either Joseph and his family go to Egypt before settling in Nazareth, or they are in Jerusalem and then Nazareth. They cannot be in both places at the same time. That is why trying to reconstruct Jesus life is impossible : you have to choose which gospel » tells the truth »and discard the other one. Hence « cherry picking ».’’

@@chefchaudard3580 Who says those two things are "at the same time"? There's plenty of undescribed time in Jesus' life, per any one gospel.

@@Spearca Matthew and Luke say that it is « at the same time ».! Read the text! Matthew says that the family flee to Egypt, when they come back in Judaea, Herod is dead, but his son is the king. So they settle in Galilee. For Luke, they go to Jerusalem, and go back straight to Nazareth. The way it is written, It cannot be both. Read it for yourself.
