Yes, that's a fascinating perspective! And I too think that symbolic connection probably is the reason for the 30 silver coins. :)

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e I’m studying my way through my Bible beginning to end and I️ see so many connection and symbolism that was never taught to me. It’s so detailed and easy to miss in some areas.

That is so true! There are so many typological prophecies about Jesus in the OT for example, which really ties the Bible together even more 😀

I really appreciate your content.

Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found the conclusions relatable. Your support means a lot! Yes, the art is AI-generated, happy to read that you think it did the job! :)

Agreed

Yes, that is true. But still, some make the case I am answering in the video 😀

lol 🤣

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e I'm serious.

I wouldn't call it nit-picky. It's a great stumbling block for non-Christians.

Thank you for your comment! I recommend this video where I explain why the gospels are not alike to the telephone game: Fact vs. Fiction: Debunking Myths About The Age Of The Gospels - What Every Christian Needs To Know! th-cam.com/video/8vq-7o-mmys/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for your comment! I have a differing view for your (surprise surprise). When it comes to history, books is what we often have (but not only). The gospels and letters have good reasons to be taken seriously, which is why they are treated that way by the historical sciences.

Thanks for your well thought comment! I think it in the end boils down to how you define inerrancy, if you hold to that doctrine. But also really what you include in what has to be correct. For example, I don't think many would include the use of that times view of the world as having a firmament as a proof of the Bible not being inerrant, since that really isn't the revelation but the culture in which the revelation was communicated.

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e While I understand that leaving things out that are from that times view and perspective helps strengthen the inerrant position, it is sort like saying if we ignore the errors from anything it becomes more correct or heading towards inerrantcy. It seems to me if these types of errors are introduced, one has to ponder what other errors could have been introduced, which would also include revelations. The way Christians often mean inerrant is that the bible is completely without error in order to maintain the authority of God that is supposedly behind it.

Well, it really isn’t as disingenuous as it may at first seem. God communicates to a certain people at a certain time in history. It would be hard if he had to include a scientifically correct view of paleontology or the stars to say that creation was made in order and isn’t divine, for example. There are different view of inerrancy, for example a common European one (and perhaps in the US too?) is that the Bible is inerrant in revealing Gods salvation through Christ. Since that really is the natural focal point of Scripture.

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e I don't think it would be hard for God to tell a writer what to write, especially if he knew the future and who would be reading it. Imagine if advanced aliens left a book with advanced knowledge. We would instantly know it is not of this world. When we see the ignorance of the writers then the bible loses credibility as the Word of God. The bible becomes the word of man and if that is the case, you have to evaluate each piece of information for validity. Should the bible be inerrant in revealing God's salvation through Christ, this is potentially lost on a person who notices fallible writings concerning other matters and questions the fallibility of the most important part.

@@scottguitar8168 This is an interesting discussion to have, regarding Gods motive for not just leaving a heavenly 3D-printed version of the Bible in both ancient and modern languages (or whatever one wish). And I guess you can already tell a bit of my point here. It is really hard to know exactly why God chooses one thing over another if he doesn't tell you. And the reason why he's done as he has is probably (at least to a certain degree) one of those things. I have a couple of thoughts regarding this: 1. If there were no way you could choose to deny Gods existence then there is a lot less room left for a real relationship to grow. Since you are more or less forced to acknowledge Gods existence then, and since God is almighty and all-knowing there is only obedience left. 2. God, quite obviously, wanted to be part of human history and not only standing on the side judging it from the outside. So he started relating to and communicating with people in the Bronze Age, even though it was quite messy, since they didn't have human rights, modern justice systems and so on back then. And so he decided to not just deliver a perfect book (in every imaginable sense) with humans only as "printers", but worked through them in the Holy Spirit so they were inspired in what they wrote down. But that also includes part of the world view back then. Therefore I view the Bible as perfect in the sense that it leads me to salvation, since that's the main point of the Bible, but I am not doing anything wrong looking to the sciences for explanations of how the planets move.

I agree, and that's my point really. That sometimes people accuse the Bible of contradictions when that really isn't the case.

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e Yes. I think many people don't even know what a contradiction really is, and think any apparent discrepancy is one. But apparent discrepencies can be resolved by looking carefully at the text. The only real contradictions can be put down to scribal transposition errors in the OT, although there is a problematic one about where some king died and was buried. I can't remember which king though.

Agreed

Thanks bro!

Thank you for your comment! Where do you miss pictures, more exactly? In the very beginning?

@@DavidFredinSilverkors-v7e ,I do a christian channel @christiansforrevival316, I like to give pictures for my audience to visualize what I am saying

Thanks!

Yes, it can be quite the challenge!

Thank you so much for the encouragement Luke!
