    The Bible isn't "historical" evidence. It is not a historical text; it has no other volumes to compare itself to in order to form a historical consensus. It doesn't even include dates or a timeline in the text. For example, if 500 years from now we are trying to determine if World War 2 was a real historical event, we would have access to thousands upon thousands of competing volumes and documents from different authors and published at different dates, all claiming the same dates, scenarios and characters. this is strong historical evidence. With the Bible, we have all anonymous authors, with no dates, describing different variations of the same accounts in a compendium of short-stories that we know for fact was intentionally doctored by political motivated institutions multiple times throughout history. Obviously, we can draw from other forms of archaeological and non-Christian literature to determine historical legitimacy for many Christians figures and stories, but the Bible in and of itself is not historical. Even if you are Christian, belief in the Bible as factual (not historical) requires faith, not objective reality.

    The garment falling and exposing nudity is another hint to the Old Testament. Jesus was to die, he was in the Garden going through the turmoil. Adam and Eve, were in the garden when they sinned, and then realised they were naked and shame became them. Jesus being arrested, the symbol of the male figure running in a shroud of linen, aka the son of god, the linen falling and exposing nudity. Exposing the flesh of man. Linen in the ancient Mediterranean was a common dressing for the dead. Jesus would be wrapped in linen mere hours later after he was killed. And the nudity exposed without shame as the figure of the male ran from the garden represents the nudity of man as god created them before the fall of Adam... both of these things happened in a garden. Which was symbolic. The fall of man in a garden, the fall of Christ to his death in a garden. The linen shroud, representing the death of Christ, falls, and man is cleansed of his sin... nude without shame as the sin is cleansed. That's what the figure of the male running represents... there's a reason why the running figure is mysterious, and it's esoteric and spiritual...and if you read the New Testament, you will know Jesus spoke in parables and symbology.

    There are some who believe that the fall of Satan didn't occur before Adam and Eve but rather when Jesus was crucified. At that moment, all beings in the universe saw the true character of Satan and cast him out of heaven. He then came down to Earth for a short time. Keep in mind that God measures time differently, with one day for God being equivalent to 1,000 years. Therefore, if Satan fell on the fourth day, he would only have two days left until the Sabbath, which marks the seventh millennium. This could be considered a short time, representing the “last days”

    As for your upcoming topic, James is written to believers with the context of proving your faith interpersonally (practically), whereas Paul's teachings get limited to him discussing our position with God. God knows our heart. Clearly these aren't actually contradictory, and Paul's writings also deal with outwardly proving our faith too. I used to be a firm believer in the camp that "faith without works is dead" refers to a lack of good works being evidence of the proclaimer is in fact a nonbeliever. This still can be true, but I now believe it primarily is linked to Romans 1:17: "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." "Faith without works" is dead because it will not reproduce. You cannot lead others to Christ when your life is in conflict with Christ. Generations fall away because they see the works (or rather, lack of) in their elders.

      Thanks for your comment! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my upcoming video. I used to take a similar position to you (that James is giving the explanation of faith from an outside perspective, and Paul from God’s perspective), but now I have a slightly different perspective. I think that James and Paul are using different definitions for the word translated faith (pistis). This word can mean belief, trust, or faithfulness. James is using the definition of belief, meaning that belief is not enough (even the demons believe and fear), whereas Paul is using pistis to mean faithfulness. Even the passage you just cited (Romans 1:17) is quoting Hab. 2:4, and the word pistis is a translation of the Hebrew word for faithfulness. Paul often uses pistis to mean faithfulness, as I intend to show in the video.

    In my scripture studies it has become clear that the account in Genesis 1 is only an account of ***spirits*** being created IN HEAVEN. The waters, firmament, earth, plants, sun, moon, stars, animals and humans created are ALL spirits being prepared to be given a physical part. The "days" are days in Heaven because the spirit for our sun is not created until the fourth day. God rested for one of His days after Genesis 1, but not after Genesis 2 so we know the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 is NOT the same account as the creation of male and female spirits in Genesis 1:26-27. In Genesis 2:7 two things come together: the breath of life (the spirit created in Genesis 1) and dust of the earth. So we do not have yet an account of the creation of our physical earth and universe except for the few details in Genesis 2. Since God is eternal, the earth and universe can be old.

    Scholars claim the Epistle of James was written by the half-brother of Jesus, but another option that is not discussed and it was more likely written by the Apostle James. Peter, James, and John retained their apostleship to the circumcision (Galatians 2:9). The epistle was addressed to the twelve tribes who will be scattered during the last days or Daniel's 70th week. Obviously it had to be written before James' martyrdom in Acts 12. The epistle does not record the conclusion of Acts 15:7-11 in the matter of salvation by grace through faith.

    James? One of his cousins? Sure. Jesus didn’t have a biological brother or sister. If he did, He wouldn’t have said to Mary, standing/kneeling next to John by the cross “Behold your son.” And to John, “Behold your mother.” He placed John in charge of caring for Mary upon His passing, and in fact John stayed under John’s roof from that point on.

    I mostly agree with your criticisms of Dibelius, but that does not make a positive case for the authenticity of James. We know that several early texts were falsely attributed to James, and the church tradition assigning James the just to this epistle comes rather late. Nothing in the epistle itself points to James' authorship anyway, except for the name, which as you discussed is quite common. And I don't buy your process-of-elimination guess. Although it is possible that James the Just wrote the epistle, the evidence just doesn't seem to back up that tradition.

    • @loganpeterjones
      @loganpeterjones 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment! I agree that there are several other documents claiming to be by James, but the key distinction between them and the epistle of James is that these other documents were written long after James was already dead, automatically excluding him from possibly being the author. However, as I argued in the video, the internal evidence in the epistle indicates that it was written very early, well during the lifetime of James. This is important because it would be much harder for a document to be passed off as being by James while James was still alive to either confirm or reject its authenticity. Especially since James, as the leader of the church in Jerusalem; had numerous resources at his disposal, it would’ve been fairly easy for him to confirm that he was not the author, in which case it is unlikely so many people would have continued copying it down and disseminating it, knowing that he was not actually the author.

      @@loganpeterjones Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, though, we don't have any good evidence that places James before ca. 230 CE. In particular, I don't buy Bauckham's argument that it must have been written earlier. The letter may seem to be aimed at Christians, but it pretends to be addressed to Jews, not Christians. This pretense does not mean that it was written at a time when Jewish Christians still thought of themselves as Jews, as Bauckham argues. Besides, even if Bauckham is correct that it was written to Jewish Christians, well, there were plenty of Jewish Christians around in the second and third centuries.

    • @loganpeterjones

      Thanks for your response. I do think we have good evidence for an early date: specifically the arguments from Bauckham I mentioned. When you say that the author could have been pretending to be writing at an earlier date, and therefore create an epistolary situation that matches an earlier date, it’s important to realize that you’re now moving on to an argument based on the idea of pseudonymity, in contrast to your original argument that we simply don’t know which James is being identified in the opening of the letter. I don’t find it very plausible that the indications of an early date are the result of pseudonymity. While it’s technically possible a pseudonymous author would go to such lengths to deceive his audience, ancient readers didn’t engage in the same type of critical evaluation of texts to determine authenticity that is performed by modern post-enlightenment scholars. Quite frankly, most ancient readers would be more likely to determine authenticity based on whether or not something conformed with their theological viewpoints. It seems unlikely that the author would go to such ingenious pains to deceive a future, more critical audience rather than focusing his efforts on deceiving his present audience. And while there certainly were Jewish Christians later on in the church, the author of this letter doesn’t seem to be distinguishing Jewish Christians from Gentile Christians. He seems to be starting with the assumption that believers in Jesus are Jews. This would indicate a very early date for the letter before many Gentiles were converted to the Jesus movement

Or at least, he was not trying very hard. Unfortunately, your argument that it looks early is unpersuasive, and so that is where we disagree. More specifically, I disagree with you that the letter was "written before there was a clear distinction between Jews and Christians". This does not seem to me to be the case. Please note that I am *not* arguing the letter is pseudonymous. (Although it could be---in my opinion that is an open question.) Instead, I was referring to a different kind of "pretense": the address to the twelve tribes of Israel. This cannot be taken as literally intended. It might be an open letter written to all Jewish people, but obviously it was actually sent to each individual Jewish person. Furthermore, if the scholars are correct who argue that chapter 2 is a response to Paulinism, then the author would have expected Christians to read it, and not just Jewish people. But this does not mean the author failed to distinguish between Jewish and Christian believers. Nor does it strike me as requiring any kind of "ingeneous pains". It just means he used a literary device whereby he addressed a letter to Jewish people even though he appears to have expected Christians to read it.

After giving a series of specific examples, Bauckham writes, “We can be sure that such letters were regularly sent, as more general references to communications from the temple authorities to the Diaspora on calendrical and other matters confirm” (p. 20). He explains that James is “addressed not to a specific Christian community in its specific situation, as the major Pauline letters are, but to any and every Jewish Christian community in the Diaspora to which it might circulate” (p. 21). Therefore, the opening can indeed be taken as literally intended, and we need not suppose any “pretense.” As for your second point that some scholars see it as responding to a later version of Paulinism, I think that’s a great point, and that’s what I intend to dedicate my entire next video to. I originally intended to include that topic in this video, but I realized it would be too long. But overall, there is no need to suppose James is using some sort of literary device by addressing his letter to the 12 tribes (what device this would be, I’m not sure). Rather, it seems most likely that he is following a standard convention of writing a letter from Jerusalem to the diaspora with the expectation that it will be circulated.

      Just because they are Jewish does not mean they are doing the correct thing under halachik (torah) law. Just because they identify as Jewish does not mean that they actually hold like the Jewish law tells them. So, it is possible fire these women to be Jewish and pro abortion despite what the torah (bible) says.

      @@loganpeterjones Josephus is a suspect narrator as he was a toady for the romans and told them what they wnated to hear rather than what the truth is. Also the Nicene Council dabbled a bit in their translation of the Bible. Soo for the history "sources" they are suspect. Currently for the last few 1000 years or so, abortion has been permissible by Jewish Law. Halacha so there is indeed a case before the supreme court currently because based on religion Jewish women should be able to access abortion. Interesting to see how it goes but I'm thinking that Xtian nationalism is the evil of the day.. We will see. America is not a Christian Nation so ..yea.

    They were clearly okay with circumstantial abortions at the very least. Arguing anything else is anti-biblical. There's literally an abortion ritual for cheating wives in Numbers. "‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”- here the priest is to put the woman under this curse-“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[a] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” Numbers 5:18-22 That's not even getting into all the child-sacrifice we're finding the Israelites did with the Molak sacrifices, which have been glossed over by centuries because we couldn't interpret the Hebrew word "Molag" and assumed it was another deity. Turns out it was a burnt offering of a child to get favor from YHWH. Now we know that the at least some Israelites practiced child sacrifice again, it's right there in the Exodus. “You shall not put off the skimming of the first yield of your vats. You shall give Me the firstborn among your sons. You shall do the same with your cattle and your flocks: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me." Exodus 22:28-29 I swear, Christians will read anything but the Bible.

    To be fair, these people also banned wearing cotton and wool at the same time, the eating of bat eggs, and their holy book includes a talking magical donkey. Hard to pick and choose the parts one should take seriously. As it turns out, historically, it's only taken seriously if it agrees with your own political and social views. Otherwise we would be bashing infants against rocks all the time (Psalm 137:9) and feeding children to bears if they make a joke about baldies (Kings 2:23-25) So, if we pick and choose the bits that are sacred at any given time, are they actually sacred? To be fair though, I don't think I've ever seen a jew eat a bat egg.
