This video seems to be a good and convincing summary of what is known about first century synagogues. Thanks for that. There are still some scholars who hold to the idea that synagogues, Pharisees, Nazareth, hand washing, Passover and the use of the term "rabbi" are anachronistic for the Gospels. But the more research and discoveries are made by researchers and archaeologists, the more cornered that idea becomes.
The previous video plus this explains the P source in Genesis. Also, it's interesting how God's written words weren't available to everyone because of the cost.a dumbed down population taking their marching orders taking the educated ones words as absolute truth.
Love Dr. Cargill and your takedown of the Mt Ebal curse tablet. I have tried to explain to Christians that the word "ekklesia" in the NT does not mean church. If used secularly it would have meant an assembly and if used in a theological connotation it would have meant synagogue. Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth that information creates among them.
In Finnish, "ekklesia" is usually translated as "seurakunta". It is a Finnish neo-word created by the church and it means "gathering" or "to keep company". According to the traditional explanation, this was intended to distinguish that the church is just a building and not the "ekklesia". Nowadays, the word has spread to secular use in Finnish, and any occasions where there are many people gathered can be called "seurakunta".
@@danielmalinen6337 Wycliff and Tyndale translated it as "congregation", which was a sort of halfway point for them between church which they knew it wasn't and synagogue which they didn't want to use.
