https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh6WDf1bSxI&ab_channel=ReynardWayChurch While we've been dealing with legends, let's consider the theory that Christianity copied from pagan dying and rising God myths. I quite enjoy this theory and what it does is list out various pagan gods and then lists various characteristics in their lives that match Jesus and then say these were hundreds or even thousands of years before Jesus and it's obvious that Christianity copied from them. And therefore if these are myths, that means that Jesus must be a myth. We see this used in the Zeitgeist movie which got tens of millions of views on YouTube. We see it in the God Who Wasn't There and the Religulous Movie. Let's listen to Zeitgeist.  Broadly speaking the story of Horus is as follows. Horus was born on December…

https://youtu.be/IJhsh3-537s “And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born under them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were very fair, and they took them wives of all which they chose.” (Genesis 6:1-2) This “sons of God” and “daughters of men” is really something that has caused no end of discussion today. There are today a great many good men that take the position that the sons of God here are angels and may I say that I personally cannot accept that at all because if these were good angels, they would not commit this sin. And evil angels, I do not think could ever be designated “sons of God”.  Then the offspring…

https://youtu.be/Rk3Sl_aLesg When Matthew wrote his gospel, it's very like that originally he wrote his gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic. Very possible, very likely, hence all the apostolic fathers and the apostolic testimonies of those early church fathers is true. There was a Hebrew text that was originally written for Hebrews and Jews around the world. But bear in mind this: Not every Jew understood Hebrew or Aramaic. Certainly in Palestine, the majority would have but when you get outside of Palestine, when you get into some of the other areas such as what we see represented in Jerusalem in Acts chapter 2, we can see that these people had different languages of their own right and so it's very likely that many of them did not read Aramaic or perhaps…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRC5xAM3ryw Who wrote the four Gospels? From a historical perspective, it doesn't quite  matter who wrote the Gospels. What matters is   whether the Gospels are true.  However, if we know the authors,   when they lived, and how closely  they associated with Jesus,   we will be in a better position to determine  whether their writings can be trusted. The four Gospels are named after their traditional  authors, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew   was a tax collector and disciple of Jesus. Mark  was an associate of Peter, a disciple of Jesus.   Luke was a traveling companion with Paul, one  of the first missionaries who claimed to have   encountered Jesus. John was also a disciple of  Jesus, and one of the closest among the twelve.  …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUtxVr9tuLU Over the years, many skeptics have claimed that the creation stories found in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory. One book puts it like this. Genesis begins with two distinctive creation stories that are impossible to synthesize or string together into consecutive events with any integrity. That same book went on to claim that the two accounts were written by different authors and that the order of events just don't line up. Let's discuss these ideas in turn. Was Genesis 1 and 2 written by different authors who were telling different stories? Early Jewish and Christian traditions held that the majority of the first five books of the bible, which we call the Pentateuch, were associated with Moses but in the early 1800s some European Old Testament scholars…
