N. T. Wright approaches the Apostle Paul as the world's first, and greatest, Christian theologian. Much of his lifetime study has had Paul, his life and writings, as the focus. He has offered detailed insights into Paul's life and times for over 30 years, beginning with his dissertation on Pauline Theology and Romans and continuing through his recently released, two-volume Paul and the Faithfulness of God. In between those writings, Wright has produced over 60 books, many of which have dealt with Paul, and another one is soon to be released, Paul and His Recent Interpreters.
Bio info:
N. T. Wright was born on December 1, 1948 in Morpeth, Northumberland, England. He is a retired Anglican bishop and a leading New Testament scholar. Wright was the Bishop of Durham in the Church of England from 2003 until his retirement in 2010. He is currently Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
In a 2003 interview he said that he could never remember a time when he was not aware of the presence and love of God. He recalled an occasion at age four or five when "sitting by
myself at Morpeth and being completely overcome, coming to tears, by the fact that God loved me so much he died for me. Everything that has happened to me since has produced wave upon wave of the same."
In addition to his Doctor of Divinity degree from Oxford University, he has also been awarded honorary doctoral degrees from Durham University in 2007, the John Leland Center for Theological Studies in 2008, the University of St. Andrews in 2009, Heythrop College, University of London in 2010, and the Ecumenical Institute of
Theology at St. Mary's Seminary & University in 2012.
Among modern New Testament scholars, Wright is an important proponent of traditional views on theological matters including Christ's bodily resurrection and second coming. Further he has expressed strenuous opposition both to the ordination of openly gay persons and the blessing of same-sex partnerships and
marriages. On the other hand, he has criticized the idea of a literal rapture, coauthored a book with his friend Marcus Borg, a widely known voice of liberal Christianity, and is associated with the Open Evangelical movement and New Perspective on Paul, both of which are controversial in many conservative theological circles.
He has published over 50 books and spoken often on radio and television. His latest books include Paul and the Faithfulness of God, Paul and His Recent Interpreters (forthcoming), How God Became King, and The Case for the Psalms: Why They Are
Essential. One of his most important popular series is his New Testament for Everyone that includes 18 volumes.
This is one of the BEST lectures by Bishop Wright's !
Galatians 6 : 7 - 9 " Don't deceive yourselves ; no one can make a fool of God ; whatever a man sows this he will also reap. He who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap Life eternal."

Brilliant, master theologian! Paul's message of Christ truly comes alive through N.T. Wright's lectures!
Listening to Bishop Wright has been a blessing to my life. Such rich intellect to take to the pulpit as I mature in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Wonderful! This lecture gives what to me was an in-depth look into Wright's thinking on Paul and on justification. And it isn't just a lecture, it's a sermon in which you really get to see some of the depth of Wright's faith and love for the Lord and his appreciation for Paul and what he did.
Very much appreciating Dr. Wright's words (@35:45), "I have a mantra, which I run regularly, which goes like this: We must stop giving 19th century answers, to 16th century questions. And, start giving 21st century answers to 1st century questions. That's hard." Amazing insight… Here are a couple of hard 1st century questions, for 21st century theologians:
Paul said Moses veiled the Old Testament, that was only UNveiled by the "Spirit of the Lord" (2Cor 3:12-18 KJV). Certainly, that's a "Comforter", the Holy Spirit of Truth, kinda thing. The proverbial mark of Cain being exemplary. Jesus' Divine Paternity was challenged in John 8:12+, responding that according to Mosaic Law (Deu 17:6; 19:15), "two witnesses", Jesus and His Father, testify to His Divine Paternity (John 8:17, 18).
Jesus' testimony was something He "saw with" His Father (John 8:38). God's testimony was a "truth" Jesus "heard from God", something Abraham never heard (John 8:40). Both of those OT testimonies are veiled in the OT. Two entities (Jesus, and Father/God), in two testimonies (John 8:38, 40), by "two witnesses" (John 8:17, 18)… according to Mosaic Law (Deu 17:6; 19:15)… that “converted” (v. 15, Mat 13:10-17) Jesus’ ‘believers’, into His “disciples indeed” (John 8:31, 32). Something seen, and something heard... eyes to see, and ears to hear (Mat 13:10-17). Recall the Great Commission. Speaking of "disciples indeed", Acts 11:KJV,
25. Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26. And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Paul, fluent in the OT, evidently taught the explicit and succinct details of those two testimonies (John 8:38, 40), that authenticated Jesus' Divine Paternity: "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch". So, the original Christians were Jesus' "disciples indeed"; and, Paul even stayed with one before the scales fell from his eyes (Ananias, Acts 9). I've asked a half-dozen PhD theologians in a familiar accredited university, about that scenario. The sad state of affairs is only one even realized there WERE two testimonies authenticating Jesus' Divine Paternity (John 8:38, 40). And, he humbly responded that he'd been pondering those testimonies for about eight years, to no avail.
Perhaps those two unveiled testimonies (John 8:38, 40) are too hard for 21st century theologians. All disciples are indeed, Christians. But, Christians are evidently not all disciples, nowadays. Somewhat plagiarizing, "truth" is greater than the sum of all knowledge... And, what makes those testimonies hard, is their unveiling totally shifts the framework of the Bible… Folk will find themselves being Mat 8:19, 20 followers of Jesus… because there are no churches that teach what Paul evidently taught at Antioch. What are the explicit and succinct details, of those two testimonies (John 8:38, 40)?
Kayaker, neologian.
Good question!!
And with a little effort we could add all 70 or 80 more questions like this...🤔
Glad God wrote such a clear book... befitting his omniscience...🤭
No, we need 1st century answers to 21st century questions. Wright is a Hegelian puppet.
Well the gospel of John was written many years later than when Paul began his ministry.
Our lives are to be like Jesus's even in our death. His death on the cross is to be our model. We do not get to choose the manner of our death but we accept it and in so doing--He our risen Lord, helps us bear our pain and suffering. Your teaching is very good ❤
Pray unceasingly is the key to unlocking the Holy Spirit teaching us the truth of the scriptures and referencing the Jewish traditions as it relates to the scriptures is a great help as he shared in this video. That has been my experience to learning the scriptures. Good video. Thanks.
Blessed to hear such a great message on St Paul. I was waiting to hear such Informative message on St Paul.
Most of my Q has been answered
I have to thank Mr. Wright for sharing his insights.
Thank you so much for making this lecture available!!! Food for thought!

Purpose is the fruit of life. Community is the soil that we plant our purpose in.
Thank you so much!
Theology is the queen of the sciences. ❤
Very soft science.
The sheer weight of records from our past show 500 years of documents of torture & looting by the Jesus-lingo cults.
Even today, we give a pass to intelligence insulted by those suggesting we make progress with one foot in fantasyland. God, let us pray.

Definately one of my favourite New Testament scholars. Tooshay Dr Wright
Paul never ‘invented’ Christianity. He was inspired by none less than the third person of the God head the Holy Spirit. He was CALLED by God to be an apostle to the Gentiles and inspired by the Holy Spirit to deliver the Good News to Jews and Gentiles alike.
AMEN, BROTHER!!!❤❤❤
Blah, blah, blah... this guy must've attested a cemetery.. er .. semininary.. to learn how to condemn the apostle Paul's GOSPEL of CHRIST JESUS' GRACE.. Read the whole book yourselves and ask The KING OF KINGS--NOT SOME earthly 'god'.. AMEN.
Lol didn't watch the video eh?
God Bless you sir for this excellent message!
For as many that are led by the spirit of GOD they are the SONs of GOD.
Being led by the spirit of God actually has a very specific meaning: it isn’t just a bunch of words. The led are actors - you don’t know any of them, they aren’t people you come across in daily life. Christ is very pessimistic about the response to the teaching, because all the great prophets are well briefed as to the dismal state of humanity. They know the impact is minimal. They know the response is dominated by self-serving hypocrisy - just as described in the gospels and in Acts

In the end do you think your sum total of life will be how you all argued so well about what the words mean't or will the sum total of life be how you treated people with love. Paul did put it beautifully when he basically said do not drag yourself down and get involved in humanities attempts to understand God. Get on with loving life and one and other. If your understanding of the words enable you to hurt another human being you are part of the problem, not the solution.
Thanksgiving. IT IS the most useful and fresh and so needed. THANKS.
IM VERY BLESSED FOR THIS TEACHING
Yes I agree with you.. Same with me
God didn't inspire those who wrote the holy word to do so that others could take it apart and analyze it, God gave it to be read and prayed over so His spirit could lead us to the truth.
I think I can agree that the truth is beyond the "holy word" and only the spirit could lead us to the truth.
+randolph temple Randy, you are a stupid, stupid man.
While I agree that it is prayer and faithfulness that guide us to realize truth, I believe that God gave us His word for the express reason of reading it, analyzing it, and interpreting it so that we may apply what we learn in our daily life. Christianity is all about the personal experience and relationship that each of us have with God through the sacrifice of Christ-and because all of us have different needs and life experiences personal interpretation and understanding of the Holy scriptures is essential in building faith and drawing closer to God. The key is praying for wisdom and discernment in studying the Bible.
Not analyzed but interpreted. To read Scripture is as he says to rehearse the mighty deeds of the Lordand to worship Him.
randolph temple it's called exegesis and hermeneutics
I think the point he has been making in his lecture is the view of Paul and so to tell by looking through his eyes I can see and understand his point of view about it.
From the comprehensive study of the scriptures, placing the content of the New Testament within its historical context, it is clearly revealed to us that the conversion of Paul (Shaul) consists in that he is an Israelite Jew from the tribe of Benjamin, a Pharisee, a disciple of Gamaliel, who believed that Yahshua is the Messiah of the Hebrew people, prophecied by the word of God within the same Hebrew tradition. Because of having believed in Yahshua, Shaúl (Paul) is baptized in the baptism of Yohanan (John, who is a respected Jew considered a prophet by the people of Israel) for repentance of sins. God instructed the people of Israel about these sins that they had to repent and turn away from through the Torah (law of Moses). Shaúl (Paul) was chosen by Yahweh, God of the Hebrew patriarchs to know his will and was sent by Yahshua to minister to both the Gentiles and the kings and children of Israel, for which he received the Holy Spirit through the imposition from the hands of Ananias (who is also a Jew). Here we can clearly notice that it is not a question of a conversion to "Christianity" or to Catholicism, considered as a new church or religion separated from the people of Israel and the Hebrew tradition. (Acts 22: 6 to 21), but rather this conversion implies the abandonment of the religious beliefs dictated by rabbinic Judaism to deliver their Faith to the Messiah of the people of Israel announced by the Hebrew prophets, within the same Israelite tradition.
The truth that the scriptures reveal to us is that Paul never denied his origin or his Jewish faith, what he abandoned was his stubbornness to deny that Yahshua is really the savior expected by the people of Israel and recognized him as Messiah. He never claimed to be "Christian." The great value of Paul's ministry is that, while fully preserving his Jewish identity (Pharisee of Pharisees, disciple of Gamaliel, connoisseur of the Torah), he showed a genuine interest, dedication and love to share his faith and the gospel of the Messiah of people of Israel with all the Gentiles outside their tradition, fully convinced that Yahshua is the resurrected son of God, and made a great effort to introduce the gospel to all nations, facing the rejection of the Hebrew orthodoxy that refused to recognize Yahshua. He rejects the hellenization of the Jews avoiding paganizing the tradition, but neither does he tries to convert all gentiles into orthodox Jews, however he insists that the law (the Torah) and the prophets must be known. He never teaches two different gospels, he teaches only one based on the teachings of the Messiah of Israel. The prophets tell us of the vision that the gentiles will abandon idolatry and come to worship the God of Israel. The idea propagated by the fathers of the Greco-Roman church that the mission of Paul the Jew was to start a new religion is as absurd as thinking that Yahshua came to found a new religion. The "church based religion" is an invention of the "church fathers" that came after the disciples of Yahshua were gone, based on the missinterpretation of Paul´s epistoles. If there is something that Christian theologians master with great skill, it is the use of Greek techniques of rhetoric.
Personal testimony that Paul made in his defense before Rome, according to the word we read in Acts 25: 7-8 “When he arrived, the Jews who had come from Jerusalem surrounded him, presenting against him many and serious accusations, the which they couldn't prove; Paul alleging in his defense: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned in anything. " Words that are ratified in Chapter 28:17 “And it came to pass that three days later, Paul summoned the chief of the Jews; to whom, after they were together, he said: I, male brothers, having done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of our fathers, have been delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans; " the same in Philippians 3: 6 as to the justice that is in the Torah, I have been blameless. So there are only two possibilities: either Paul lied by stating on different occasions in his epistles that he never did anything against the Torah and its traditions, or those who are lying are Christian theologians who claim that Paul invented christian theology.
well stated "The idea propagated by the fathers of the Greco-Roman church that the mission of Paul the Jew was to start a new religion is as absurd as thinking that Yahshua came to found a new religion." See my comment pinned at the top affirming the same. Paul discovered from within Torah all that he taught. the only meaning of "invent" would be an archaic understanding which most would not even be aware of. So it is unfortunate that the speaker used a term so misleading.
Thanks for the detailed comment. What do you think about this lecture on Paul: czcams.com/video/gWfOd-6pTNI/video.html
@@joe-jg4bh just the first minute I would say sounds very promising. i do not have time to watch the whole of it now but will ASAP.
@@joe-jg4bh getting back to watching it now. The speaker suggests a very late date for Acts. my understanding on the two books authored by Luke written to Theophilus a Roman official was an attempt to show the accusations against Paul to be false. look at the words charged against Paul by his accusers and the record given by Luke. He seems to deal with them all. The book ends before a record of Paul's death. So if it is written after his death two questions arise. One why make the defense since it would be irrelevant. and Two why is there no record of his death. the second could be answered because both Luke and Acts are written on the longest scrolls available and there was no more room to include that information however the first objection has no good answer. if Paul is dead why write a defense for him? So I would question a late date for the writing of Acts. it was written after Luke but before Paul's death and must have been written shortly after Luke. I also pick up a suggestion that Paul was starting a non Jewish anti-law/Torah movement. i see this as popular but inaccurate of the Biblical evidence. Paul was continuing as an observant Jew his argument for Gentile inclusion is Torah based. it was agreed upon by the Apostles in Jerusalem if Luke's account in Acts is valid. Even James gave Paul and Barnabas a letter of authorization. They would not do this if there was no Hebrew Scriptural authority for the position the held.

Saint Paul is Apollo, the sun god. His father was Zeus and his mother was a Pleiade. As a Gemini twin (sis was Artemis/Diana) his ship carried the standard of Gemini. Paul aka Pollux is also id as Mercury/Hermes and his companion Barnabas (father of Mercury) is offered a sacrifice of cattle. Apollo had lots of cattle who are found in Taurus. His mother (one of seven) is found in the head of Taurus.
Being anti Paul at one point, I love Paul very much because of Mr. Wrights work in explaining it all better
glad to hear of your reversal. Paul can be easily misunderstood not only today but also in his day as 2 Peter 3:15-16 writes about.
@@fleetwd1 2 Peter 3:15-16 is such an excuse!
@@IsraeliteDefense not an excuse, an example.
The Church is actually a beautiful revelation. The institutions that existed up to that time none, not even the Nation of Israel, could achieve the great vision of God in bringing humanity together in one body....in some sense we could say the church joined in spirit to Christ was the new creation the womb through which God could bring forth children unto God.
So all that is true of Christ, Paul saw is true of Him in the church...he saw that man must let go of every divisive endeavour and embrace the new revelation which is not a mystical revelation as we have come to think but merely the correct/spiritual way of interpreting life.
I think Christianity has suffered primarily because we have misunderstood this. When Christ said the kingdom is within you the western mind has taken it to mean a secret, private and personal enjoyment of God..and I think I heard the presenter make that similar point. It is not private or secret at all. It is the he birthright of all the nations. "Jesus is Lord" Is the theme of the entire bible. This is the churches message but sad to say we have retired into our four-walled corners thinking we "saved ones" are the privileged lot.
Jesus never called himself Lord of anyone

truly my pleasure and honor to do so. thanks to the Lanier Theological Library for allowing me to share. please support them by visiting their website or their location in Houston Texas.
If it's the case that Paul's central symbol is the church itself, in that the way the church conducts itself is how the world sees "a new reality is let loose", then the picture over the last 2000 years has been pretty mixed, to put it mildly. I say that not in mockery or provocation, but in grief.

When you unceasingly pray, for instance, "Hear O Israel: The Lord Our God is one God," it will drop down into your heart and in due time Christ is being formed or birthed. This is mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations---"Christ in you, the hope of glory."
If you know who you are in Christ, you know you have all authorty of heaven and earth to destroy the works of Satan who deludes Christians into believing that you are slaves to yoke of bondage.
Thankyou. The Lord is obviously is wih you. Peace!
Released from Bondage to the commandments of men. God's burden is light and as Jesus taught.... a light yoke. Romans 3:31. Christ removed sin which means the covering for sin is improved with the Torah written on the heart & the Holy Spirit to give us strength to recognise and overcome lies of men who are teachers of the false Jesus as a lawlessness Saviour. : )
What does this destruction look like to you, a practical example
The only kind of bondage is to sin. 1 John 3:4 For sin is transgression of the Law. Christ removes sin by writing the Law of God on our hearts according to Jerimiah 31:31 as the New Covenant. Being in Christ means doing what God considers good. And Christ broke down the middle wall of separation between Jew & gentiles. The New Testament tells us that were the dogmas of ordinances....additions & subtraction from God's law through misapplication by men.
Like the rules of handwashing ( only for Levitical priests approaching for Temple service ) & the ORAL instruction to not associate with Gentiles which is not in the Torah at all.
Christ is King of the Righteous not the wicked. We praise Him for setting us free from bondage to sin & the burdensome commandments of men that have no power to save. Hallelujah!!😃💓Blessings to truth seekers!! May we love the truth that sets us free!!😁👍👍🌼🙏🐑🐑
The citation of ..GOD IS ONE..is at odds with the TRINITY.
The TRINITY says that God is THREE in ONE.
Paul invented stuff and we need to repudiate them.
Of course his counsel has some nice lessons that we can use. Just like any other counselor.
Imagine if all churches had a preacher like this :)
Thank you sir...
Enjoyed this message on "Doing Theology"".......DW.
Awesome lecture.
Well the problem with the language is that one Hebrew word can have 25 different translations and More in other languages and it loses the richness of the true meaning from Hebrew to other languages truly Hebrew is God's language
There is no problem with language. The word of God is ONE, as is God himself! The culprit is more likely the world, the flesh and the Devil.
The WORLD disbelieves and frowns on belief, the FLESH is lazy and selfcentered and so does not seek God/Truth, and the DEVIL temps us to instead lean on part, partial, false, and mischevious interpretations of other men, which are further removed from Truth. All of which lead to and support what we call "problems in the bible."
Meaning is found in the ONEness of God's Word:
[Matthew 4.4]
Still I must agree, ancient Hebrew, not Yiddish, is God's language.
Shalom!

Why are unbelievers mysteriously drawn to these videos? I know why, but they will say it's not true, but they will not explain why they are drawn to these videos either. They somehow think if they can openly derogate Christian videos, it will somehow make it untrue, they can't seem to shut that thing inside of them up that says, there's a God. Why do you guys seem to flock to these videos? I believe Oswald acted alone, therefore I don't 'do a search' for conspiracy videos. So, why are you here?
Eli' Bailey There's no mystery to why "unbelievers" are drawn to these videos. It's the same reason you're drawn to the area under the sink to fight the mold and cockroaches.
Again. Why are you hear? Why does it bother you? You can't just laugh it off and mutter, 'Crazy Christian'? I'm not drawn to atheist' videos. And there's plenty of mold under that sink.

Tommy,
Now, since Paul said he counted Judaism as a pile of shit, I don't really think he's making the connection, nor 'departure', you and others really are suggesting - to some new and lawless libertine rewrite. As a matter of fact, Paul's faith was a RETURN to that of old which certainly was not Talmudic Judaism which had forsaken the old paths - for traditions of the elders run the roost in Judaism then and now, nor was it the Christian solar cult the WOLVES HE WARNED OF changed the message to, and which today do speeches (for a fee) as this video presents.
Torah was part of HIS GOSPEL (1 Tim 1:8-11) and since EVERY MOUTH could NEVER be stopped without it, nor could the whole world be found guilty without it, as it brings them to the realization of their need (Rom. 3:9-20), I suggest you rethink the brainwashing the WOLVES have done on you. Because that "man of sin" sitting in the "TEMPLE" exalted as if he were Yahweh is the solar cult messiah of the WOLVES ... the false messiah ... Jesus Christ. Christianity is the Great Falling Away Paul warned of, not proclaimed. The true Messiah Paul spoke of was not only torah observant, but NOT a universalist ... and the Mighty One in the Bible who is Yahweh is the Mighty One of ONE PEOPLE - the "HOLY SEED" - the "CHOSEN RACE", while the god of the WOLVES, merKURIOS, the lord, is for ALL "humanity" - universal ... "another gospel" from "another spirit" which Paul warned of, (2 Cor. 1:4). Far different than Paul's thinking is the modern WOLVES of today seeking to destroy the "holy seed" of the "chosen race" (Rom. 9:3-5). Jude terms them "FILTHY DREAMERS". I agree.
YliyahMessageTime
Cite exactly the passages where Paul counts Judaism as a pile of shit.
God is the universalist. The mission of Israel was to proclaim Him throughout the world. It failed in that task until Jerusalem was destroyed and the combination of the Diaspora and synagogue Judaism forced Judaism into the world, belatedly, but more as a scientific control than a dynamic epistemology. By this I mean that Jews for Judaism, and your own response, illustrates exactly what both Jesus and the Apostles were confronting in the principalities and powers of Temple Judaism.
Jesus appeared to correct that failure and Paul recognized the continuity of His ethic and epistemology originating in the Torah and, based entirely on the divine aborgation of all things kosher, took this ethic to the Romans, in particular, who recognized the continuity of Jesus' epistemology and ethic from before the Torah, with Melchizedeck, then completed the task Israel had failed to accomplish.
Paul remained an observant Pharisee and submitted to being flogged several times to demonstrate his rigtheousness as a Jew,
Your premise is crap, which is to say, a pile of shit,
You say: "Cite exactly the passages where Paul counts Judaism as a pile of shit."

Eliihu Bailey - The answer is a very simple one. People feel that there have been HUGE LIES on the whole subject. THAT attracts and fixes attention. Anybody's desire is to clear the story, not to have it mixed up for ANY reasons, usually evil, so that nobody can reach the truth
Thank you.

Thats right... Paul did not say things you liked so he must go as God can not keep his bible pure like he said I am guessing.. and after you toss out Paul then toss out Peter..because he said...And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are
Paul was a believer as per Peter but he was not an Apostle as of himself saying he was lessor than them. Paul also was not on Par with Jesus as many have said but rather should be taken as a commentary on what the old testament and the gospels actually say.
@@samuelswenson1505 Paul may not have thought much of himself but ,,, 2 Peter 3:15-16:
"Consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation - as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures."
@@SharonBalloch He said Brother, not Apostle though. Key difference.
@Sharon Balloch , why did you vomit up your own understanding, then not have the respect to respond to those addressing you?
Peter did not write 2nd Peter. Peter was chosen by Jesus to be the Apostle to the gentiles., not Paul. Paul is a 13th Apostle. There are only 12 Apostles. Matthias replaced Judas. Check how many names of Apostles are on the foundations of the New Jerusalem. Paul preached "his" gospel, not the gospel of the Apostles.
I was there! Awesome lecture!
Hes a viper
Jesus said I HAVE NOT COME FOR THE GENTILES BUT FOR THE JEWS, so if he did not come for the gentiles, who else started christianity, because he clearly didn't.
Patricia Treslove Jesus did indeed come to the Jews. Ultimately, as the Messiah, he came to restore Israel. Through his death and resurrection of Jesus, this restoration was complete. A restored Israel could finally fulfill the promise made to Abraham: "By you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Gen. 12:3). The turn to Gentiles is the necessary consequent of a restore Israel. Indeed, Jesus, about to ascend into heaven: "You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). If there was not a turn to Gentiles in the early Church, Jesus never really restore Israel and thus failed in his mission to the Jews.
Configuration Dr. Only don't understand psychologist Christian that search through your mind and aren't true Christian, this message is biblical message.
I find Paul contradicts some of Jesus teachings and the apostles. Paul does make some good points in his books. Maybe God wanted this so we would want to delve into the Bible. Gods Brilliant.
Yes God is brilliant. I don't readily see Paul contradicting Jesus. There seems to be a contradiction between James and Paul. But contextually they are dealing with standing/justification between different entities. James is talking about being justified to fellow believers/men and Paul is dealing with justification before God. Paul also teaches what James teaches but uses a different choice of words that do not seem contradictory as James did. James also gives credence to Paul's understanding of Gentiles being accepted by faith rather than works of the law when the discussion is raised in Jerusalem and they put few restrictions than the law would. These seeming contradictions reveal the divine mind. and they are throughout scripture. example being justified by faith apart from works of the law yet also being judged according to your deeds. God being sovereign yet he has man choose. there are many many more. they appear contradictory but they are actually paradoxes (two equally true statements that appear to contradict but don't)
Find rightly deviding the word of truth 2 Timothy 2.15 verse it tells you how to study your bible it a all truth but not all to you
I ask this every time I see people say it, but what are some examples of these contradictions?

1 Corinthians 8:4-5, 7-8, 10-11 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
(Ok as long as it doesn't offend a "weaker" brother)
1 Corinthians 10:19, 27-28 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof

Revelation 2:2, 9, 14, 20 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Clearly Jesus doesn't think of an idol as nothing! Clearly Jesus is talking about foods sacrificed to idols as spiritual fornication/adultery!!!!
Paul has deceived the whole world with his wishy-washy doctrines. How much easier is it going to be for the Anti-christ of Revelation to deceive those already conditioned by Paul.
this is absolutely AWESOME! it is like eating a spiritual feast for the soul!
Sir.... Thank u so much for deeper teaching for the apostle Paul in his theology.
Etymology of Apostle = go out and stand (in office)
Speaking of thinking, what fruit does the knowledge of good and evil produce? It's not and Apple or an orange. It isn't a lemon either but it is a sour fruit and most often turns quite bitter.
Eating the fruit means building an attachment to your concept of right and wrong. Attachment is the eating part and judgment is the fruit produced by the knowledge of good and evil.
Appology, forgiveness or humility is spitting the Fruit back up and grace is leaving it on the Tree; reserving judgment or at least your attachment to it.
Good analogy… maybe we shouldn’t “spit up” since it might fall on our face…

I just caught 10 minutes of this lecture so far. The early church didn't hold Jesus as divine. We all know how this changed. Is any one out there who believe that Jesus is not divine, but for the pressure wielded by Constantine who didn't himself convert to Christianity? How about this question, anybody know Bart Ehrman and his work?
yes familiar with Bart but David Capes and many others like Larry Hurtado have shown the early tradition of Jesus divinity go back very early. the song of Philippians 2 that Paul quotes is from the early church. Capes has a book more in-depth titled "The divine Christ" but i have a 3 video lecture series where he covers a lot of it. Just do a channel search on my channel for David Capes if you are interested.
It takes this guy a long, long, long time to clearly state what he means when he says Paul invented Christianity.
can you state it in a nutshell? my comment is pinned for all to see. But few, if any, commentators read it.
@@TV-fu1ec you had made a comment that i can not find. I thought it was a good thought. i may look in spam but i have no idea of how, or why, it would have been placed there.
@@TV-fu1ec i looked in Spam it was not there either. you were saying the Covenants were God's way to communicate his will and you were not sure if Christianity had continued that. my thoughts are I think many in Christianity have failed to understand the Hebraic roots which our faith is based upon. I think Paul went back to Genesis and based grace upon the promise of God to Abraham. this covenant proceeded the Covenant with Moses at Sinai and Paul reasons the later covenant had not nullified the former. So Jesus comes to fulfill both the Abrahamic and the Mosaic covenants and we are recipients of the blessings promised upon all who have the faith of Abraham.
We would do well to know the deep roots that we are part of.
@@TV-fu1ec it happened again. i could read the alert sent me of your reply but could not reply to it because it was not there. Yes i agree with you also. Hebrews talks about the Covenant with Moses passing away and a covenant based on better promises. many see this as Old Covenant and New Covenant but Paul argues the Abrahamic Covenant which is older than the Mosaic is the basis. Jesus brings both together. He becomes Israel and fulfills their promised to do all that is declared in the Decalogue at Mount Sinai. He also fulfills the promise God makes to Abraham that all nations will be blessed through his promised seed. The giving of the Spirit coincided with the celebration of the Covenant held at Mount Sinai. So the Law was fulfilled and the blessing promised came in the form of the Spirit being poured out. the covenants were called the Everlasting Covenant so they were not abolished they were established and the New is a renewal of the Abrahamic where God alone promises to bring about his promise to Abraham.
Agree with you. A long-winded lecture!
SAUL (PAUL) WAS WELL EDCUATED AND WELL CONNECTED ALL AROUND IN JEWISH AND ROMAN CIRCLES AND A ZEALOUS PERSECUTER AND KILLER OF EARLY CHRISTIANS. SOMETHING HAPPENED SUPERNATURALLY TO THIS MAN TO MAKE HIM SERVE AND SPREAD THE WORD OF CHRIST FOR DECADES AND WALK 10,000 TO BE MARTYRED.
no doubt.
I am a mystic and a woman, so I handled the ideas of Paul through two divergent lenses for decades.
But as a theist and mystic I know only my own practice and suspect that is true of any. So Wright's
weird service to what he imagines Paul imagined and his focus too on place in discussions of a religion with a messiah who pointed to his body as the temple and asserted god is spirit makes
this lecture, which I skimmed resemble Dante's march through hell or how I felt learning who knows how to starch the altar cloth or how to polish brass.
Interesting title. Remarkable that so much of Christian theology is based on Paul's "inventions" and expanded intrepretations (Paul might say based on visions and revelations) rather than the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
Paul's theological inventions beyond Jesus teachings seems akin to later inventions of elaborate rituals to 'perfect' Christianity by the Roman church itself. (Perhaps the later are even a result of Paul's emphasis on the church?)
Burying one's head in the ground by requiring PHYSICAL, historical evidence to accept the validity and authenticity of historical events is a sad way to live. If I claimed to have oatmeal for breakfast this morning but had no physical evidence, am I trustworthy enough for someone to accept my word? Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, and Paul, for starters, all record that Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be the long-prophesied Messiah who came to bring us real life -- and that life is found IN HIM. What a blessing to not have to trust in only one source!!! The evidence is without a doubt OVERWHELMING that Jesus of Nazareth is fully the God of all creation and simultaneously fully a man who lived life the way we were intended to live!! Hallelujah!!!
Each and every one of us, whether we admit it or not, lives by trust -- whether in ourselves (foolish choice), in another created being, in another created being's notions, or in the Divine Creator himself. It is a choice filled with peril to ignore and/or suppress a nagging conscience that the Creator of all things in the universe has clearly -- by observing the evidence of creation -- designed us for relationship with him and to bear his image in his creation. The idea that our merciful God has included me in his family through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection is a profound truth that allows me to live with deep confidence each day -- confidence that his life at work in and through me is contributing to things that matter now and will matter after my body dies. What an amazing experience and life to be a part of God's kingdom!!!

+Christopher Hall Child's play is more aptly described as cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Honest reactions to the four Gospels include, 1) accepting them as historical accounts of actual events, people, and places that stir the reader toward understanding Jesus of Nazareth as the Creator of the universe, or 2) accepting them as historical accounts of actual events, people, and places that don't seem to be relevant to the reader at the time of analysis. Critics that describe these documents as myths and the events as impossible because the concept of "supernatural" has no evidence are ignoring the obvious. To observe the universe and all that it contains without admitting that the supernatural was required in CREATING the ELEMENTS/MATTER that comprise the objects in the universe is turning one's head away from the evidence.
+Christopher Hall When someone trusts in himself as the source of truth and authority, faith is just as involved as it is when one chooses to have faith in Jesus of Nazareth because the evidence is as compelling as it is. All men exist day-to-day by faith whether they accept it or not. The issue is who or what each of us trusts.
+Christopher Hall Equivocation is found in copious amounts in every camp.
+Christopher Hall I admit that the God of all creation included us in HIS creation because he wanted to share the love that is part of his wonderful essence. If I am at fault for anything, may his great mercy be demonstrated through me.

God tells Ananias
Acts 9:10-17
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The LORD called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, LORD," he answered.
The LORD told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
"LORD," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.
And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
But the LORD said to Ananias, "Go!
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the LORD-Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here-has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Finally, Peter sez
2 Peter 3:15-16

There are some things in them that are hard to understand, ..............WHICH THE IGNORANT AND UNSTABLE.............. twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
So which are you? I hope it’s just confused.

Paul does not believe the church is the symbol, Paul believes Christ is. Paul believes the church is the transmission medium of who Christ is.
NT Wright is wrong, but then again the "New Perspective on Paul" is as well.
There's lots of rumors in the air. The Bible says we are to study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(II Timothy2:15) Until we come to know the Word incarnate, Jesus Christ, as our own personal Savior and have the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding, then all of our worldly knowledge is futile. There is a lot of misinformation being spread about the Apostle Paul. I believe the accounts in the Bible about who he was and Who chose him to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and offer it to gentiles. In my youth, a child of five years old, I accepted Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior, which was over 60 years ago. I have proven God's Word over and over again in my own life, the power of God's salvation through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I will always take His truth over human reasoning. I can rely on His Word and the Holy Spirit to guide me. Apostle Paul (Part 1/4)

"Jewish narrative with quite fresh analysis" - I agree. But I'm surprised he didn't address the critical issue that separated Paul from the Jewish culture at large-and still does: "This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place" (Acts 21:28). Paul's continuing argument against tradition, justice and law in favor of grace through faith in God is at the heart of his Gospel.
Check out Ez 44:7,9
Pauls actions there were prophetic.
,@Black God Disciple Stone Nation of course you're talking about someone who lived centuries later than the Paul of the book of Acts. Still, I'm sure even the one formerly known as Saul of Tarsus could have been seen as an "imposter." by his contemporaries. That might be important to some, but Paul's Gospel wasn't about Paul the celebrity. It was explained in what he said, did and wrote.
@Black God Disciple Stone Nation tracing authorship has limited unimportance if Paul said nothing new in regard to Israel’s blessing to the world. All he did was (rather thoroughly) reason the grace (= gift, or blessing) of God over the law.
What is clear from all this and the separation between Paul and Barnabas is that Paul was teaching what Jesus never taught or asked his desciples to teach. Jesus taught strict obeisance to the law. In his sermon to his followers Jesus said " It was said in the past ...........but I say unto you......". He actually tightened the law. So by any imagination Paul's teachings were an aberation to what Jesus Christ and his desciples taught.
Now the importatnt question is , did Jesus know that someone like Paul will come after him and did he mention it ? Absolutely yes.
Jesus warned about the coming of the false prophets who will come "IN HIS NAME " and may mislead even the very elect. In fact Paul has been very successful in this and his industry has become a trillion dollars money making machine. Jesus was a thorough bred practicing Jew who prayed to God the creator like every Jew and never claimed to be God. Paul's industry has gone to absurdities by proclaiming Jesus as God.
@@jakpanana3938 Paul said nothing new. All he did was make it clear that the grace of God (which comes by faith) overrules the law. It always has. This was the case with the marauding gentile nation Nineveh, the 40-year fugitive Moses-a murderer under the Noahide law, and David with his multiple infractions of the Law of Moses.
Regarding the "tightening" of the law-yes Jesus did that exactly when he virtually equated lust with adultery, and anger with murder. But more than that, Jesus explained the origins of adultery and murder as the passions of the flesh. That was his real point-which the apostles expanded on in their letters.
Then why should Jesus not be God? If God could speak through a jackass or burning bush, could his word not also become flesh? If God could lead Israel with a pillar of smoke and fire, should he not also lead the whole world as a shepherd? But I'm convinced enough by what he did and said as "Son of God" and "Son of Man."
We must return the Texts of Scripture to it's original form, respecting The Word, The Names and the culture of a people in their historical context.
Mattithyahu 7:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV)
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
I wouldn't include "not eating with non-Jews" in that list of laws they adhered to. That's not scriptural like the other instructions listed.
Galatians 2 isn't clear in _what_ Paul felt Peter violated. He accuses him of sin, without laying a clear charge against him.
It seems a high school class must have been invited to comment on this video. One that had studies the eminent scholarship of Dan Brown, Bill Maher, and Bart Erhman who rejects he authenticity of "The Declaration of Independence" and the claim that Lincoln authored "The Gettysburg Address" due to their variation in the text of copies.
Perhaps most misleading is the word "Imvented" in the title of this video. Paul describes things that were taught to him by Christians in Antioch who had learned it from the Disciples. Being the most educated of the apostles he seems a wise choice to both record and build out these ideas on a larger theological framework. Paul was "inventor" of Christian theology, in the same respect that Neil Armstrong was "inventor" of the moon!
Paul claims the very opposite. "For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Gal 1:12. So it is incorrect to claim that Paul was taught anything by Christians in Antioch who had learned it from the Disciples - who oddly enough were still alive at the time..
N.T. Wright is a good scholar and has written valuable works on the Christian religion. However his new perspectives on Paul is way off! And I question his understanding of sin and redemption as the basis for his errors on Paul. The reference to Akiba is one example of this? Akiba, though valiant and courageous never received the God of Israel's Messiah. Therefore he did not receive the heart spoken of in the Prophet Ezekiel and plainly spoken of by our Lord Jesus in John chapter 3. Which means he died in his sin and was never regenerated! The fact that Wright cannot see this proves his misunderstanding of salvation and true conversion? These are serious errors and the kind of problem that follows the new perspective? The Westminster confession other than in its faulty view of Baptism is thoroughly biblical and evangelical. Jews can talk of grace but it is just talk until they receive the Messiah. No unsaved person does good works from a natural heart! The Saints under the old covenant were indeed regenerated the same as they are under the new! The new lays out all the details and provides the reasons that are behind a true and genuine salvation and conversion experience. In Matthew Jesus tells us of multitudes who do good works and think that they have done them in truth and sincerity only to find that they were never saved and that their faith and deeds were done from the flesh and not from the power of the Spirit of God. Devout Jews labor under the same condition. Religion without regeneration is a damning thing. Knowing the difference separates genuine faith from a false deluded faith. Those spoken of in Matthew had a false and carnal faith and were trusting in themselves and their religious zeal and good works. Wright misses this notable distinction and serves as the reason for his errors with respect to Paul and what Paul taught in all of his writings. Paul himself was a devout religionist and thought that he was a good Jew who operated from right motives only to find he was as lost as the devil until he had his conversion experience and became a truly righteous man in Messiah and thus fit to preach the gospel to both Jews and gentiles. Wright and others have evaded this important point because thy do not have the biblical understanding of the depths and deception of mans dead and depraved heart? Truth and error are a fatal combination!
I think it unfortunate that Tom uses the words "Invented Christian Theology" Paul clearly states Acts 26:22 "I am saying *_nothing beyond_* what the prophets and Moses said would happen,"
in·vent
[in- vent]
VERB (USED WITH OBJECT)
1. to originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity, experimentation, or contrivance: to invent the telegraph.
2. to produce or create with the imagination: to invent a story.
3. to make up or fabricate (something fictitious or false): to invent excuses.
4. Archaic. to come upon; find.
The only definition that would seem to apply is the Archaic. Paul's Christian Theology is an application of reasoning from Torah. The reasoning may be unique to Paul but he did not originate or produce/create it nor did he make up/fabricate it. He discovered/came upon/found God's intention revealed in Genesis. God's chosen people from whom he intends to bless the whole world begins with Abraham/Abram. Paul discovers it was only in the 3rd renewal of the promise that Abraham was then circumcised. So he is father to both the circumcised and uncircumcised. It was the 2nd renewal where the formal cutting of the covenant was performed (while Abram was still uncircumcised). In this formal ceremony God pledges himself to accomplish all stipulations to bring about the promise. Paul states the later covenant through Moses some 400 years later at Mt Sinai did not nullify the former. it defined more clearly the stipulations. Christianity is based in God's revelation in Torah. Paul lays the foundation for Christianity upon what God determined beforehand. So the word used invented while accurate in an archaic sense gives a distorted picture in the way most people would take it to mean. I am sure Tom was using it to provoke thought. nothing wrong with that.
Wow, very good observation!
Paul lived that life. Life of Christ. Really he became an apostle.
Etymology of apostle = go out and stand (in office)
I can see the message Wright is getting at here, but he should have started off with the understanding that "all scripture is God-breathed" and worked out his title and message from there. God worked through Paul using him as a vessel by which to reach all mankind with the Gospel message and, yes, God used a new way of getting that message across through the God-breathed inspired New Testament scripture. God is the "inventor" of all theology and simply uses man as a vessel to deliver the message.
I disagree, God gives us truth, but “theology” is the different ways we try to UNDERSTAND that truth. So God doesn’t just give us theology directly, but lets us have the opportunity to explore it ourselves (hopefully with the Spirit’s guidance).
So you're saying that Paul--the one guy on the planet at that time, who had the entire Torah memorized beFORE going to study with Gamaliel, the preeminent Torah teacher, the Paul that says he was as zealous for God--that God picked Paul to say to the entire world "The law is done away with"? That makes no sense and isn't true. Paul spends his time explaining the Torah to those who had not grown up with it. It's only the "Church" that decided it was something new when they hadn't fully understood the actual Scriptures.
it is a misunderstanding that characterizes Paul as being against the law. NT Wright surely would not make that juvenile characterization. Paul esteemed the law highly and says so often. i think you must be imposing a popular view thinking it is in this video. I assure you it is not.
@Martin Solomon Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. www.oneforisrael.org/
corruption of the old testament and the many type of torah
the masoratic text the original hebrew
the septuagint corruption the many stream of translation we dont know where many of them but just some survived translation
the samaritan torah only 5 book of moses
these three are disagree with each other in many places
quran have no interpolation unlike bible that come in transmission period
return to original text is the very purpose of bible textual criticism which indicate a problem in the journey
its make sense to god resend a new book and then preserve it for real unlike bible and for the whole world bcz the book is preserve to end time
genesis 5:31
septuagint said 753 years for lamech
masoratic said 777 years for lamech
samaritan said 653 years for lamech
Transmission break #1 - Sometime between Moses (approx. 1300 BCE) and King Josiah (approx. 600 BCE)
Transmission break #2 - Sometime between King Josiah (approx. 600 BCE) and Ezra (approx. 400 BCE)
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” [Hebrews 1:6]
The above quotation is made by Paul in the New Testament and is citing Deuteronomy 32:43. masoratic doesnt have taht
septuagint translate man in exodus to be 600.000 in numbers whiches being denied by scholars that men in exodus cannot be taht much or even surpass the 100.000
the septuagint miss passage some of jeremiah compare to dead sea scroll
septuagint also have cainan as arphaxad child which not found in earlier manuscript and best manuscript taht used by church father and josephus
32:8 and 32:43. Even though we are comparing the same chapter of Deuteronomy, the texts never completely agree in all verses. Sometimes the DSS agree with the MT over the LXX, as in verse 32:43[ii], and sometimes the DSS agree with the LXX over the MT, as in verse 32:8[iii].
Genesis 16:16, Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born:
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
And according to Genesis 21:5, Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac was born:
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
just talking about text differences not talking about the
inconsistency
factual error
and ethical error in OT and NT
the textual variant
so many that is much more than the text in NT itself why bcz we have so many manuscript but of them from 1000 AD
the most of differences are in spelling but the number of manuscript from 1000 ad are eclipses the the textual variation as if its just spelling, but the variant that was matters important and theologically effective and some of them stay inside the text for centuries and regarded a part of the text until scholars remove it, many scholars only regard the original autography to be innerant not the copy from the transmission bcz we cant deny its many differences interpolation changes and substraction as it happen in torah and NT is as it follow
Throughout the Middle Ages, scribes did not realize just how much different the manuscripts they were copying were from one another. It was not until 1707 that scholars began to realize the enormity of the problem. so the editing to the original words takes time, That was the year that an Oxford scholar named John Mill (no relation to the Victorian John Stuart Mill) published an edition of the New Testament that included a list of places where there were variant readings in the manuscripts.
also important to know that some of these differences are extremely important, affecting how significant passages-or even entire books-are interpreted. Obviously knowing the original text in these places is important: you can’t very well say what the New Testament means if you don’t know what it says! Unfortunately, there are dozens of passages whose original wording scholars debate, and for some passages where we will probably never know. sometimes even there are evenly divided variants so new testament use them both so divided translation have two of this variant
* the longer ending of Mark, see Mark 16 (Mark 16:9-20).400 ad addition approximately
* Jesus sweating blood in Luke, Christ's agony at Gethsemane (Luke 22:43-44).
* the story in John of the woman taken in adultery, the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11). approximately 450 ad addition
* an explicit reference to the Trinity in 1 John, the Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7-8). late 4th century addition
vast of kjv verse omitted and is the living proof of bible changes
and corruption interpolation in bible is still inside the bible for centuries until scholars dissected it and choose the right reading so its not perfect since the get go but went through some porblem
quran is here to fix the messed up with previous religion
they dont even agree about which book is in canonical
from uthman quran onward is absolutely preserved precisely
quran better manuscript same as uthman
so after uthman codex and from our book back to uthman codex is fixed quran
kuffa text is soo goood transmission
only three palimcest
quran no interpolation
boring job to be critics of quran
and its fixed text
disappointed critics
all manuscript we have is standard text
and bible is indeed more severe in text
mathew go to galilee
luke and john go to jerusalem
quran said we reveal it in arabic so u may understand and that what the proof said is like what exactly quran said
i feel like even tho quraish is codified the nature of that revelation is still exist beautifully
arabic is basically poetic language amd quran is above them
quran is extreeme precise since uthman nothing like this probably like masoratic because they were jew it’s absolutely beautiful
once strandarize its always like that all manuscript we have is uthmanic
quran is neat they do come from same architype
before uthman already good copy
quran very stable text
no interpolation after uthman
quran established since very beginning get over it no interpolation
Luke 10 is the only place where we find the account of Jesus sending a specific 70 (or 72) disciples to prepare the way before Him. The discrepancies in the number (70 or 72) come from differences found in approximately half of the ancient scrolls used in translation. The texts are nearly evenly divided between the numbers, and scholars do not agree on whether the number should be 70 or 72
earlier manuscript is sometimes have widely attested differences compare to modern bible for example in luke there is cainan as the son of arphaxad instead of selah now this thing was not in earlier manuscripts that used by josephus, eusibius , africanus and other early church father
the interpolation of john the baptist as a mere warner of christ coming and no taht graet significant is christian interpolation to make jesus is more important figure
the earlier manuscript
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
“yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. “
this word is not in earleir manuscript
and in a luke 2:33,43 it said joseph and his mother marveled
but other translation read his father and his mother marvelled
the first reading inkjv is widely attested in majorit greek manuscript amd early latin copies and use by early saint and many manuscript and famous manuscript
but modern translation choose the 2nd one
contradiction in translation usually modern translator render the mistake or contradiction in old testament masoratic or even septuagint so theyreading is new reading which is corrected like
2 Samuel 21:19 the New NET translation also kjv and nkjv
change that Elhanan killed the brother of goliath
but many other translation said elhanan killed goliath the gittite and they follow masoratic amd septuagint
several verses that fake were in bible for centuries until scholars take it out only after found earlier manuscript and compare them so its not pristine in the journey of transmission so taht we could have it without textual criticism which found the original word
you can see your self about inconsistencies
Remember that in the other Gospels, Jesus actually eats the Passover meal with his disciples before his arrest. John’s timing of the story is different - he has Jesus die before the Passover meal is eaten. Why did John’s author alter the story? We find a clue in the Gospel of John when he refers to Jesus as the “Lamb of God”: “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’” [John 1:29]
We can see that in the Gospel of Matthew, Mary Magdalene is presented as having found the tomb empty, but after that she actually encountered Jesus as she was running away from the tomb. In the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene is also presented as having found the tomb empty. However, after she flees the tomb she doesn’t encounter Jesus but instead runs to the disciples and tells them that the body of Jesus had been stolen. Now, these two accounts of the resurrection are a contradiction; if Mary Magdalene met Jesus at the tomb, as Matthew says, then why did she report that the body had been stolen, according to John ?
I like that NT Wright brings up, "Teach someone to think in Christ.”
As I see it, the springboard of Paul's presentations is summarized in the two choices he gave to Felix and Drusilla in Acts 24:24-26: "Faith in Jesus Christ" or "righteousness, self-control and the coming judgment." Which will it be?
Paul’s letters then walk his readers through how he thinks. They’re organic beginning with this agreed-to proposition of faith in Jesus Christ. They are “if this then that" kind of discussions.
Problem is we sincere Christians will take Paul conclusions-and turn them into a verse-by-verse “believe this and do that” religion, rather than understand his whole argument.
Knowing how Paul thinks however, we should be able to begin at the same place, and come to the same conclusions.
Paul was not opposed to righteousness, self control or the judgment to come as if it is juxtaposed to faith in Christ. the one leads to the other just as cause leads to effect. Faith in Christ bring completeness based upon the gift of God's righteousness demonstrated in the Christ event. When we believe we become one with him and the Holy Spirit which Jesus deserves becomes ours and then "the righteousness of the Law shall be fulfilled in us who walk not by the flesh but by the Spirit." However, "by the righteousness of the law shall no flesh be justified." The righteousness of God in Christ is what justifies. it is the cause the righteousness of the Law that shall be fulfilled in us is the effect. They are not juxtaposed as if opposites one leads to the other. Paul writings are full of exhortations after he conveys the Gospel of God's covenantal faithfulness manifested in Jesus' death for sin and resurrection for our justification. God's work is the basis of our inclusion into God's people. But as citizens of the kingdom we embrace "righteousness, self control and (we look forward) to the coming judgment" where we will be fully restored. We now only have a down payment but then we will be fully clothed in righteousness. We are declared to be complete in Christ and we strive to become what we are said to be. But our stiving does not lead to God's righteousness, it is only the result of it. Many distort Paul by thinking he advocates faith is juxtaposed to Law. But he claims "faith establishes the Law.." It puts it into proper perspective. God's work done "for us" results in God's work "in us." the two are not equal they need to be distinguished but they are not in opposition they come together. One is primary and the other is secondary but noone will be saved without both being evidenced.
@@fleetwd1 Mankind's answer to injustice is righteousness. But people naturally understand righteousness as a consequence of self-control according to some standard of judgment (as in the Law). Jesus didn't propose righteousness as the answer to injustice, but mercy-and a union with himself-a yoking as in a bride and bridegroom. A simple relationship. That relationship forms the basis for any righteousness that results. So as the letters argue, the believer's righteousness is in God himself, and his justification is by faith.
I think this is important to consider.
The snake is language, and the devil is evolution.
There was this lady Eve, and she knew this fellow Adam, and they lived in a garden. The garden of Eden, a garden which covered the whole of our blue-green earth.
One day, Eve ate some fruit, and she evolved the ability of language, and her words flew through the garden telling Adam everything he did right, everything wrong, everything good, everything evil. And so, Eve had developed the ability of thought, but it came at a price for language displaces instincts and so she could no longer live in the garden as did the bears and the wolves and the chickadees.
Now Eve wasn’t just one woman, she was all of women, kind or otherwise, in her day’s journey of evolution, and Adam wasn’t just one man, kind or otherwise, he was all of men in his day’s journey of evolution, and a day is one-seventh of a measure of time, as in they were living in the seventh age of creation and God is resting.
And we might recall that Adam was found to be naked, and that’s not to say he wasn’t adorned with a fig leaf-pattered shirt, but rather that he had lost the thick coat of fur that had once covered his human body. And with the loss of fur, his exposed skin evolved the ability to sweat, keeping him cool and allowing him to toil upon the soil for the not-so-symbolic fruit of labor.
But what of the snake? That slithering symbol of evolution gave Eve the first words ever spoken, “And it was Gossip.”
Attached to old ideas? Is it time for new interpretations?
There's some flaws in the logic, but if it helps u rationalize evolution, I support it.
wright builds his case from the ground up, brick by brick, when does he get to the "Main Event", Historically nebulous !
Paul was fully accepted as an apostle--by the apostles. he saw Christ.
The Gospels are historical documents with over 600 copies dated from pre-100 AD.
Acts is obviously a continuation of Luke and Paul's theology is confirmed therein.
Paul was martyred after a lot of his followers...
Read Paul if you want to hear his own defense against later day ass-clowns..just read Luke, Acts and Paul.
Everything is going to be alright, ask Paul--he told us about the wolves.

Marcionism... That is what kept Paul alive in the post Christian Jewish era.. and when Roman Christianity needed an authority to defend it's evil and corrupt doctrines of predestination, original sin, denial of free will, denial of man made in the image of a Holy God and the enduring and eternal moral Law of God, it found a friend in "Brother Paul" (not an apostle or disciple of Jesus according to Peter) . Paul would be horrified how evil and ignorant men have twisted his ideas and thoughts to come up with the evil doctrines of Augustinian, Reformed and Calvinistic theology (2 Peter 3:15 etc.)
No. There are no first century copies of the Gospels in existence.
@@tatianaG
Great comment, Tatiana. Thank you and bless you.
Acts seeks to unite Paul and Peter's doctrine. But Acts has to distort Paul's writings. For instance, the Jerusalem Council decided that Gentiles are to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, but Paul teaches many times that you can eat any meat.
Paul spent the first part of his life vigorously opposing the Jesus Messiah movement; but, after his conversion he became one of the greatest champions of the church and the author of about half of the New Testament.
So he was basically a liar and conman during his entire life. What else isn't new? ;-)
Ap. Paul never invented any theology. Dissociating his testimony from Christ is very dangerous and will only lead to self-absorbed men, who have always wanted the opportunity to "make the gospel relevant today", think they can also reinterpret scripture to make it palatable to our generation.
Galatians 1:11-12
For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Then again was it Apos Pauls teaching all by himself? Otherwise how was Apos Peter privy to the content in 2 Peter 2:15-16?
We have confirmation in Galatians 2:1-2 that it was a message confirmed with Peter and John, at least, in Jerusalem:
Galatians 2:1-2
Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
If any have invented a theology it is those of the trinitarians or modalists who, without any authorization, have gone beyond scripture to teach their concept of god and based their whole faith about that concept. They teach that unless you believe in a trinity you do not know the real Messiah therefore you are not saves. This is false teaching and beyond scripture. It is idolatry because they strive to create a concept of God beyond what The Lord Himself has seen sufficient for us to know for our salvation.
read the post I have pinned at the top of comments. Paul got the gospel he proclaimed out of Torah. the only meaning for invent that fits with discovering it is an archaic meaning of the word invent.
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

Correction: The Empirical Roman Orthodox Church used a handful of letters (half are proven frauds) to create a theology (AKA belief system).
"To the Israelite first, then to the gentile." I would say Paul's theology is, first and foremost, an explication of Yeshua as Israel's messiah.
That was mental gymnastics at its best. Well played 👍🏼
Yes, it does seem that Paul changed the teachings into the start of a whole new religion; a religion that Jesus would not have recognized .
Well according to Luke who wrote the book of Acts, in chapter 19, demonic spirits knew the authority of Jesus and Paul.
Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
This is a bit confusing. If indeed Paul changed the teachings of Jesus then how come his letters are still kept in the Bible?? Jesus was circumcised Paul said no need. Same with pork. So it's a fact that if Jesus come back today he won't recognise christianity as it is practiced and preached.
Paul was an invention of Marcion. See Kenner Humphries.
Lets see if we can disprove this claim in a couple of sentences...
Marcion-who was born after Paul died- believed the God of the Old Testament to be different from Jesus' God, leading him to reject the OT God as evil.
Is this what the writings of Paul teach? Of course not. There, that was easy!
I googled Kenner Humphries and found no such person.
Tom Wright should give a the on the sciences, this talk should be published and sent to his science peers at the major UK universities for critical review.

Tom will not be reading comments on videos so I don't know what your point is. it has nothing to do with the video so i have no reason to reply. Would your desire be interesting? perhaps but I doubt it would be done. so it is speculative at best.
LOL at all the haters thinking this was going to be anti-Paul!
apparently a lot of them did. Paul is being abused by their ignorance of his teaching.
Mature in their thinking process? Really???? the power of the Holy Spirit is definitely not a part of this program....another one!!! twisted doctrine at hand.....thought of the day....if I live my life with Jesus as my savior and I am correct, then I have lost nothing, but if I live my life as there is no Jesus and I am wrong and there is, then I have lost everything.

Jesus had almost nothing to do with the theology about him. It was created by his followers.
***** I haven't read Wright's "Jesus and the Victory of God". However, I am quite sure NONE of the gospel writers actually witnessed Jesus's acts/speeches.
Except that Jesus taught it to them.
***** Nope, the current scholarly consensus that the gospel writers were not eye-witnesses to Jesus' life. They are no-one known to history. Besides that, they are writing religious propaganda, not history.
***** Jesus taught theology to his disciples? At a university,you would be laughed at for saying that.

It depends on what you mean by theology. By normal Protestant definition what the author of Hebrews calls "the elementary teachings of Christ" (Hebrews 6) namely "repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment" are NOT theology. "Theology" in Protestant terms, and even in Catholic terms, is CHRISTOLOGY. Jesus taught a moral system built around faith in God and ending in judgement based on works. Paul and friends taught christology about Jesus which began as adoptionist (even in Paul) but ultimately ended up as Arian christology (as in Colossians), and Paul in particular ended up bolderizing Jesus' teachings, as the writer in Hebrews 6 says "Therefore let us leave behind the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity" meaning that Paul and the followers of his heresy believed Jesus' own teachings were infantile but their nonsense is mature.
What do you get when you filter Paul out of Christianity?
Islam.
Al Hazen Actually Judaism....Islam came much later. Salaam Akk
More like farther from Islam, Jesus never told his followers to execute people who leave the faith or conquer and tax nonbelievers, but Paul did have better dead list.
Wrong. Just wrong. We see the Divinity of Jesus before Paul's writings.
Paul keep Torah and never walked away from it
Then he wouldn't have called circumcision mutilation.
Phil 3, Gal 5.
That's like saying the difference between a noun and a verb God is a verb
The Bible is the authority, it trumps scholarly concensus. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, God-breathed. God can not lie Titus 1:2 . The Bible holds all the answers: Compare scripture with scripture just as the Bible tells us: "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line: here a little and there a little" (Isaiah 28:10). The Bible is not one book but 66 books written over a period of 1500 years. The Bible is the authority on the Bible! Jesus himself said in John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, "he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." IITim3:16 "All scripture is "given by inspiration of God", and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but "men spoke from God" as they were carried along "by the Holy Spirit." Job 32:8 But it is the spirit in man, the "breath of the Almighty", that makes him understand. 2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, "being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen," in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.
Paul is not inspired.
Thank you for your thought. Some hold to the idea you express, however I don't agree with that. Except where Paul "says" he speaks for himself on certain points for example having to do with marriage (I Cor 7) we know that the Bible says ALL scripture is given by "inspiration" which means "God breathed". So, to say that Paul is not inspired is really quite an amazing conclusion you have drawn. The Apostle Paul was CHOSEN, singled out by God on the Damascus Road. Your ideas are contrary to the truth in the Word of God. That's between you and the Lord, but it has nothing to do with whether Paul was inspired, because the Word says differently than your words.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Peter, it is the authoritative Word of God.

Its amazing to say Paul is not inspired because Paul says "All scripture is inspired"? Really? First, Paul doesn't say that. A good case can be made that it should be translated not "All scripture is inspired and is profitable..." but "All scripture that is inspired is also profitable..." But be that as it may. Its pretty obvious that when Paul says "All scripture is inspired" he obviously isn't referring to his own writings, but to the Old Testament and the Gospels. How can anyone brainwash themselves into thinking that he's self-referencing here? Only by brainwashing themselves, obviously, but that's just plain absurd.

As for Acts, Luke accurately records Paul's bogus claims and later embellishments of his conversion story as the lie evolves in Paul's mouth over time. Luke's accurate recording of this information is a confirmation that there is something deeply wrong with Paul, not a confirmation of Paul's story (actually, stories, plural). And one thing to be noted of special significance is that Luke never calls Paul an apostle except in one verse where he's second fiddle to Barnabas "The apostles Barnabas and Paul rent their clothes." In what sense is Barnabas, here given seniority over Paul, an apostle? In the sense that he was sent out by the church at Antioch, an apostle of men, an apostle of a congregation, not of Jesus Christ. Paul lies in Galatians disclaiming that he's an apostle of men in the same sense as Barnabas, saying "Paul, an apostle not of men nor by man but by Jesus Christ," but Luke already exposed him as merely an apostle of men like Barnabas so the gig is up.
Sounds like somebody needs some Dark Matter cartoons!
Jesus was born a Jew, sent to the Jews as a messiah.He lived his life and prayed and followed all the laws of Jews.His enemies were Jews as he challenged their evil ways calling them evil generation, snakes and other names.The Jews went against them complained to Pilate and had him arrested.Jesus never wanted to die.He hid in the Garden and prayed to his God to be saved.
Paul in his own ideas, brought up this ""sacrifice for sins "" plea.
When his preaching to Jews did not work then he turns to gentiles AGAINST the direct commands of Jesus NOT to preach to nonjews[Mathews10:6].
It is Paul who changed religion to make it easy and said laws need not be followed.This is again against the command of Jesus who said"" keep the law""
Millions of Christians have gone off the track with the false notion that sins are paid for.
Read the gospels and follow the commands of Jesus and leave this deviant ideas of paul Your deeds will save you not the messiah.or his suffering.
+mohammad fazal Rahman Perhaps not quite.
Jesus didn't call 'Jews' 'snakes and other names.' He called the stubborn Pharisees that, for they were teachers and should have known better than to be so wrong about God. Nor were Jesus' 'enemies' Jews. All of his disciples were Jews, the first Christians were Jews, and crowds of them 'heard him gladly.'
Jesus said before he ever got to Jerusalem that he was going there to die. Peter told him not to, and Jesus corrected him.
Matthew 28 has the Great Commission in it in which Jesus sends his apostles to 'all the world.'
Jesus didn't say 'keep the law.' He himself contradicted several time-honored (or hide-bound) laws concerning the Sabbath and dining with 'sinners.' As to the Torah, he did keep that, but taught his disciples to think and to understand the Law, and to do its purpose: the two Great Commands.
Paul and Peter were both sent by God to nonjews, and not to tell them to become Jews, but to tell them the Gospel.
Deeds will never save. Faith does (Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38) and the sacrifices---commanded in the Torah---do not, either (Isaiah 1:11; Ho. 6:6;Psalm 50:13-15).
Faith does. Paul knew that as he says in Romans and Galatians.
The prophet never wavers from his mission.We are told about Noah and Lot among others to emphasize this point.
I question the bible narative.
Mathews 28 tells Jesus told disciples to go to Gallilee[200 km north of Jerusalem.] and from there he ascends to heaven.This should be the greatest miracle where every body is seeing Jesus go into the sky!!
However in Luke we are told Jesus took his followers to BETHANY[5 km from Jerusalem] and ascended to heaven from there witnessed by his disciples.
In ACTS 1:4 jesus tells his disciples NOT to leave Jerusalem for 50 days.till passover.
So brother you just cannot believe these bible narratives.Too much confusion.
mohammad fazal Rahman I can see your confusion. You see what is not in the Bible. There is no ascension in Matthew.
You apparently do not get your information from the Bible. You have depended on someone who didn't know what he was talking about.
There is no contradiction between Luke and Acts. The same author wrote both.
You might want to actually read the Bible if you're going to criticize it. At least be true when you do.
You are right .The other gospel is Mark, which further adds to the problems.Thank you for correcting me.Please I am a follower of the bible, specially the gospels.Only where scribes have interpolated things, I point it to my Christian brothers.
Your target and mine is heaven after death.This life will pass bye.Satan is always trying to misguide us..
I reach out to you as a friend and am ready to correct my mistake.
Sarah I am quoting the bible.Jesus was born to Mary who was a Jew.He preached in Synagoges, taught from the old testament and went to the temple at Jerusalem 3 times.
Read any gospel say Mathews and see how he says I have been sent ONLY to the Jews.[Mathews 10:6]
The greatest commandment is the Shema he said.[Hear o Israel, the lord thy God is one]
The quotes in big blue bars put me off at first, but they also did the trick. Once I realized how central the first two blue-barred statements were, I learned to love them. "The Jews did not ask how they could understand God more." "The Jews did ask, 'When is God coming back?'" I hear the siren song of full preterism (not from NT Wright, of course -- just in my own mind). What do you think about the sky rolling up like a scroll? It seems to me the only apocalyptic imagery left after 70 AD is the remaking of the heavens and the earth. Could the sky/scroll image be interpreted as the fulfillment of the old covenant, and following that, the new covenant as the remaking?
Then of course, there's the general resurrection. I'll follow the good bishop's inaugerated eschatology until I become overwhelmingly convinced of preterism, but that sure would make my life easier.
The Cross of Jesus was actually the turning point. The theology difference before the atonement and after the atonement by Jesus death and resurrection on the cross. Jesus was born under the mosaic laws, living in the mosaic laws. But that transforms to God's Grace after His resurrection.
