- Dr. Titus Kennedy is back to join me with his top 10 archaeological discoveries and his response to one challenge against the reliability of the Gospels. From the discovery of the Herod Coins to the Temple Building in John 2, we talk about the many artifacts and findings that have shed light on the events and places mentioned in the Gospels. Join us for some more context, analysis of the historical and cultural setting of the Gospels, and a deeper understanding of the texts.

Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks!
As a Christian, I accept the Gospel accounts as a completely reliable source of historically factual information. I do so from faith in the living God who does not lie and who wants us to know the truth about His Son. As John says "these things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Son of God and through believing, have life in His name". The gainsayers have their own agenda and do not oppose these accounts from an unbiased background.
So I can only add how much I appreciate the efforts of Dr McDowell and Dr Kennedy (aka Clark Kent, ha ha ) in bringing to us their findings in these matters. Your "shows" are informative, scholarly and intelligently presented without a trace of the quackery found in some entries on TH-cam.
Thank you Gents for your wonderful video clips. I wouldn't have missed them for quids.
God Bless you !
For years, many have tried to disprove the Bible, God's word, but the Truth always prevail. Also, the best selling book in the history of mankind and nothing comes close.
Clark Kent gave up on superman and tried his hand at Indiana Jones! God Bless. I love your work Kennedy.
Seriously!
I've been saying this guy looks like Clark Kent for over a year. Im glad to see others make the connection!
The crossover we didn't know we needed 😂😆
🤣🤣🤣
Titus>5 letters. Clark>5 letters. Enough said.
Dr Sean McDowell & Dr Titus Kennedy, Im LOVING THIS VIDEO!! I was/am a student of Dr Mike Heiser & this kind of information & teaching is SO THRILLING!! Thank y’all for being willing to share your anointing with us! May our Lord bless & keep you all the days of your life my brothers.🙏🏻💗🤩
I really really like Dr Michael Heiser. Love how he breaks down the Old Testament. His late work called The Unseen Realm is mind blowing. Also Timothy Alberino Birthright series is a must.
I would’ve loved to hear Dr. Heiser in person! Such a wealth of knowledge. So sad he left us but such a comfort because we know where he is!
"I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!" --- Jesus in Luke 19:40.
I love all of his work, and Joel Kramer’s as well!
God has been revealing so much over the last few years ; in several other fields of science as well. 🍃🕊️
Don't you mean "man" has been revealing so much over the last few years? And, which "god" are you referencing? The evil and despotic god of the bible perhaps?
I love how all the seemingly small details come together and confirm the Bible.
Thanks for having Dr Kennedy back on! We very much respect his scholarship, love his books, snd value how he makes connections with archeology, history and the Bible accessible, understandable and relevant.
As is often the case with this show, excellence. Fascinating, fun, informative. Great guest, great host, great discussion.
Thanks Darren!
Thank you, Sean and Titus, for another great discussion!
Thanks for listening
Man, I love this stuff
Me too!
These are wonderful programs. Please do more archeological shows. They are terrific examples of Faithful responses.
Dr. McDowell, my 3 kiddos are fans of your video about Fine-tuning. Our youngest liked it so much that he prayed for you last night before bedtime :). “Thank you, God, for…what is his name with the cool video?…oh, Sean McDowell!”
It was sweet! Especially that it had been a week since Ben had watched the video…
Thank you!
That’s so sweet and great that your young son is already into the Word at this level. Keep up the good work 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wonderful conversation! Appreciate your hard work both 🙏🏻🙏🏻
GOOD Christian archaeologist like the one you're talking to Sean, is a great tool to help us discover what really happened, keep those discoveries coming, ✨✌️in ✨👍, SINCERELY JDK.
I have greatly enjoyed the previous discussions with Titus Kennedy and this one, likewise, was a real treat, but I also want to say that I really appreciated the clarifying comments and the consistently well thought out quality of Sean's questions! A great interaction and I sense a bubbly enthusiasm and thrill in bringing us these seemingly obscure minutia (actually jewels) that corroborate the veracity of the Gospel narratives. A genuine thank you to both of you gentlemen! Another faith building blessing!
Thanks Richard. I really enjoy these and am glad you find them valuable!
@@SeanMcDowell Dr. McDowell, what is your opinion of "The Gospel of Afranius", which is a "Nature"-praised (!) disproof of the resurrection of Jesus, addressed to your father (the link is right on your father's Wikipedia page)?
@@valinorean4816 obviously he must not find your pagan question worthy of entertaining. So let me just say this. Jesus Died for your Sins to. Please read the Bible especially the New Testament. And everywhere there is an Old Testament quote you would understand even more. If you look that up as well. Buy reading more then just the verse they quote try to take in at least a chapter or more before or after.
@@xXGENDAMAGEXx This work takes into account the Bible as reliable
@@valinorean4816 I’m talking about the ones who don’t.
Saw Titus speak at Dallas conference on Science and Faith a couple of weeks ago. Fascinating stuff. Leading the field!
Dr Tidiana Jones 😍🥰 I'm your biggest fan Dr Kennedy 👏🙌 God bless you!!
As time goes on the Bible has been proven true. Thanks for posting.
The Bible is regarded as historical fiction by us non-believers. Of course it’s gonna have some true elements. That’s the “historical” part. Y’all let me know the next time a human turns water into wine, walks on water, feeds a thousand people with one happy meal, or ascends into the sky wearing only a robe.
Also y’all’s unwillingness to seek divinity today makes me think that you’re worshipping the Bible and the church as idols, and are closed to further guidance from your god.
Look at Sathya Sai Baba and tell me why theists never viewed him in the light of divinity like the old apostles were viewed.
I think it comes down to simple racism. I think Christians imagine the cast of the Bible as white and that’s why a more up to date cast wouldn’t work.
Which version of the bible and of which of the +45.000 christian denominations?
Better choose the right one because else..... eternal hell awaits you and if you picked right you might end up in the company of others that have been born again like such great and kind people like Jeffrey Dahmer.
@@davidduffield1713 It's only historical fiction to blind fools, having no love for the truth, who've received nothing from the Lord Jesus Christ. You know damn well, inside, that He exists. Perhaps you don't agree with Him? Maybe you believe that your denial will somehow spare you from being held accountable? Fat chance. Your denial only serves to condemn you further.
It doesn't matter that you don't believe. You can twist perception but reality won't budge. That goes for everyone. He is Lord and Savior whether you like it or not and the Bible (while purposely altered by men with an agenda over the ages) was written by chosen vessels by His Spirit.
On the subjects of Christianity and Christians themselves, they're mistaken and are not His. Jesus Christ didn't come to establish a religion and the true church isn't at all like any church you've ever heard of.
Honestly, you're better off than those who take His name upon themselves in vain. These pretenders, however religious they may be, are worse than murderers and pedophiles in God's eyes.
@@davidduffield1713regardless of your absurd accusations of racism. there is this thing called historical data. it matters. you can sayababa all day till ur blue in the face but where is the evidence?
Keep up the great work Dr. Kennedy! God bless you and may he lead you to find many more archaeological discoveries of the Gospels! Thanks to you Dr. McDowell for this amazing show, looking forward for another one with Dr. Kennedy.
Interesting that people often make claims that archeological finds "confirm the bible". The bible contains many references to history and accredits causation to "god". Unfortunately, the bible plagiarises many stories and myths from often much earlier cultures and civilisations. I say "plagiarised" because the bible never gives credit or reference to the originators or previous sources the very human authors of the bible stole them from. It is also a massive stretch to claim that places and events as recorded by man as the authors of the bible, when confirmed as a real architectural place, validate the rest of the bible, which is absolute rubbish. That's like saying that because Peter Jackson chose New Zealand as the setting for the movie series "Lord of the Rings" (as authored by the man, JRR Tolkien), and that New Zealand is a real place, that the story of the Lord of the Rings is real, factual and actually happened, rather than being a work of fiction. Stop feeding the gullible, who so desperately want to believe.
Super gripping content. Thank you both. I will be looking to buy Dr Kennedy 's book. G Ire
Titus Kennedy is a true Indi Jones. His books are real treasures.
I love these shows with Dr. Kennedy, I always look forward to them! I find his knowledge/ expirience in Archaeology fascinating,- I learn so much:) Thank you Sean, I love your podcast, your teaching, and your ministry ❤
God Bless you, Sir!
The Bible has incredible scientific accuracy like round Earth and jet streams and the hydrologic cycle and much more!
Can’t wait for second coming
So many questions
I worked with Titus on a dig on Mt. Zion for a couple of summers. I'm surprised he associated the temple trumpeting inscription with Peter's denial as opposed to roosters crowing as, when we were on on way to the dig site early in the morning, invariably roosters crowed to announce the beginning of our day. Each day. The place of trumpeting was the SW corner of the Temple Mount where in fact trumpeting announced key times in their liturgical calendar. To me, the rooster crowing was a more practical milestone of the time by which Peter would deny Christ 3 times than the Sabbath trumpet.
Jesus Christ stated the cock would crow when Peter denied him 3 times.
This was terrific. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. I listened twice. I noticed Titus mentioned LysAnias, and that there were 2 men by that name, just like Lydia, a previous guest on your show did. That supports the validity of the Gospels!
lol.
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Thank you for this live discussion. God Bless
This guy is so humble and clearly more comfortable behind a book or in the dirt than on camera ♡♡
Love this 🙏. And yet we continue to interpretate the Word by the Greek, and my goodness...if you challenge that. You're called a JEZEBEL
Super interesting about the trumpeter vs a rooster 🐓 crowing!
Yeah, I thought that interesting, too. Idiomatic use of language is so natural to people, they don’t think it’ll be a problem for an audience out of context… And, when someone is documenting spoken interchanges, of course, they want to record what was actually said. 🤔
Would Titus ever lead a trip to Israel? It would be so interesting to be in the places as he talks about them.
Ooh great idea!
@@SeanMcDowell I'll start saving my pennies!
Great guest yeah keep em coming back as much as you can !
To every claim that is true, it's easy to argue the opposite because you have infinite options. From the perspective of someone who wasn't there, there are more reasons why something never happened, and only one for someone who was there. Truth is a narrow way.
That is the deeper reason FAITH is God's 'way' of picking His followers and why He rewards us based solely on our level of faith. Man's way is ignorant compared the Makers'.
Absolutely. The Bible is documentary evidence of the life of an historical Jesus. The same criticism was levelled at the old testament. But new discoveries are proving it is all true.
They recently found the tomb of High Priest Caiaphus
The donkey inscription is a real headache for Muslims who claim Jesus wasn't crucified or thought of as divine.
For the last decades in this century more and more and more archeological findings have been excavated and this is where Jesus says I paraphrase, where Jesus says people will believe by works. Which means, not only Miracles and Wonders would be performed in the Last Days, but also and I add Archeological findings so unbelievers can believe Jesus is Real and the Bible is the True Word of God. Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah!!!
Fantastic new video! Loved this!
This is really cool. 😎
I like how Kennedy goes after the weird obscure non-mainstream finds.
This is a brutal smackdown for anyone uninitiated, unaware that we follow the Gospel truth, down to petty details. 🙌
The Herods are fascinating! In THE JEWISH WAR, Josephus makes learning about them interesting. Somehow, you two manage to take this extremely interesting subject and make it seem mundane and boring. Well, not everyone is able to bring even colourful characters to life. Thanks for the research and facts!
Superman is back!
Thank you, brothers
Kind regards Kim
love Titus he is great
Agreed!
This is all very interesting and I appreciate the work being done here. But I know the gospels is real because Jesus lives in me. He saved me out of my lousy dispicable sinful life. "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuels veins and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their gulity stains".
Amazing!
Sean, would you consider doing a show highlighting the many skeptical arguments over the years that later through archeological finds was proven to be false?
such as? i've yet to see anything religious "proven" to be true.
Great idea, I’ll give that some thought.
GREAT IDEA
I would love to see that as well!
@@HarryNicNicholas then you arent very well learned 😂
One right off the top of my head is the existence of pontius pilot
The house of david being real is another
Jericho
Its okay to be a skeptic, just dont be a lazy one.
I wouldn't expect anyone to prove every point of the scriptures. I have my degree in law enforcement. We learn to trust a preponderance of evidence. I couldn't put a number on it, but I think that the many, many things found by archeologists have proven both the old and new testament.
I've also heard it pointed out that most of what we know about Julius Caesar's life comes from his own, "Gaelic Wars" (sp?) yet no one claims it is not historical evidence. But the Gospel accounts, from multiple sources, we're supposed to discount due to bias.
It would be hilarious were it not so sad.
I am Interested in a video about findings that contradict the gospels, or are alleged to contradict them. If there are any...
Also in discussing archeological findings that we should expect to find, but have not yet found. Either in the old or new testament.
Can we have a transcript by Time stamp of each of the ten discoveries?
Are you guys going to talk about the Amorite-Akkadian tablets? That'd be awesome!
Evidence that Hebrew was much more developed during Moses' time than skeptics had previously claimed. Many had said that the Torah couldn't have been written until much later because Hebrew didn't have a developed writing system, but these tablets demonstrate the striking similarity between Amoritic and Hebrew hundreds of years before Moses!
No because this will be focused on the Gospels. Maybe next time!
@@SeanMcDowell Sounds good, I'm looking forward to it!
@@frogpaste Dom't you think Sean should get Dr. Andrew George and Dr. Manfred Krebernik on for the Amorite-Akkadian instead of Dr. Kennedy?
Do some of these findings give us confidence that the apocryphal gospels are also historical? Asking for a friend.
What does Kennedy think about the James ossuary?
Whenever I see the thumbnail for this video, I think the topic is the Death Star. 🤣
Can you keep the picture on the screen longer
Sorry about that! Probably can’t fix this but will do better next time.
Should ask dr Falk for comment😂
How do u know it is the same Salome?
So did the trumpet crow? What was the greek word used for crow and why did they use crow if it could’ve been a trumpet ? Deng it would’ve loved if they went deeper into that one. Great video! God Bless!
20:40 the fact that construction of the temple began 19 BCE and took 46 years to be completed only means that Jesus' ministry couldn't have started before 27 CE but it doesn't mean it had been recently inaugurated. The 46 years discussion could've have very well taken place any amount of years after it's completion
45:00 Jesus riding on a donkey was a sign of Him declaring He is a king. Kings rode donkeys because it represented times of peace; they rode horses to go war and the people in Jerusalem were aware of this and it was the reason they gave Him a king's welcome laying palms and spreading their coats in the way before Him as he passed. It was just one more sign that alarmed the members of the Sanhedrin as it showed the power before the people He was having, diminishing and jeopardizing the Sanhedrin's power.
The Ark are a group of Researchers, studying all of this
❤Thank you for sharing these videos. What a treasure we have in the word of God, both in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Moroni 10 :4-5 tells us how we can know that these scriptures are true.
There is one difference between the two that really matters....
One is inspired and one isnt.

@@rosiegirl2485 What you believe is true for you and nothing else. All is pure belief. Not fact, not written by "god" but clearly written by man, embellished by man, continued by man. Good luck with the second coming. Billions have died claiming this fictitious event will happen in their lifetimes. The heavenly lottery propounded by the most popular doomsday cult on earth
What was that sound at 10:19!!??
it more okay if we have pictures of all these artifacts
Hi Dr. McDowell, this video, amongst other educational videos of the Bible, is so interesting to learn from. I wonder if there are books where they cite Bible verses backed by Biblical historical findings through archeology and historic accounts. Thst would be awesome to get the full picture of what was going on during the Biblical events and meanings of Jesus's sayings through the Parables. I've read Concordances, Historical books, and other books to help me understand,but I've never had everything in one book. Is there such a book? If so, can you let us know? Also, it would be great to get in addition to those books and updated books as the encyclopedias used to have.
The "WORD of "GOD unravels so "MUCH, all attempts by the doubt and unbelief of some archaeologist that don't believe in GOD is "AMAZING, there attempt to say things don't have anything to do with the account described in the word of GOD, and there uncovering the very things that prove the gospel, amazing, history no matter how they try to change it to fit what they want it to fit, instead it just fits the gospels in the accounts the Bible describes, no matter how hard they try to cover it up, the gospel remains true.
Titus must be a genius, Jerusalem is there..! WOW😂 I'm sure that you will find even more in future.. 😅
Is there a way you can write an easy to read apologetics book, something not to scholarly

@@SeanMcDowell thank you, any book reliable and trusted for Church history
How does the gospels mentioning Augustus mean they are reliable?
Look at the archeology records for Ciafus. They found 2 Roman nails in their tomb. 1 in his box box send one outside of it.
The archeologist found and recorded at ther time but did not index them. They are located at Tel Aviv University UNFILED
Luke was a doctor at the time, inducating that he was factual and scientific for his time. Thats why I belueve he gave factual historic details to undergird his account and also, of course, to prive his bona fides. G Ire

My first video with both of you was on the Exodus. I found the information very unbiased, trying to sift shaky “proof” out of the way. Pleased, that lead me to this video, which for the most part was very informative. However, the Alexamenos Graffito details and interpretation had me scratching my head. Something is off here, I thought. So I did a bit of research. Most scholars accept that the graffito is probably from the 3rd century, and not the year 100, which is more in line with the graffito’s depiction. Some scholars see as a plausible interpretation that it was meant as a mockery to heretical groups in Christianity, which also makes sense since it is known, for instance, that first century Christians did not honor icons, which seems to be the reference in the graffito’s depiction, even if in mockery. This makes more sense with what I know of first century Christians, their beliefs and customs. So, please, keep the full range of available understanding on the matter, and swerve from the human temptation of presenting facts that cater to our predetermined beliefs. That is precisely what lead me to watch a second video from you guys. Thank you.

Yea, Pontus Pilate didn't want to kill Jesus because he was already on the naughty list for being brutal. It was him trying to reign in his own brutality, or at least he was just looking for a loophole.
Why does Titus remind me of Clark Kent aka Superman? Lol
These are interesting but when the Bible assures us that it was a rooster that crowed the night Jesus ws arrested, I'm pretty sure that there was a rooster in the vicinity.
Hard to watch Kennedy after seeing how he interacts with more serious scholars.
You just can’t keep from asking yourself, what has he ignored about the topic he is discussing? What doctrinal limitations has he put on himself that keeps him from looking at all the data?
His debate on Exodus really makes one concerned. Has he addressed that debate publicly?
Dear Dr Titus can you please try to make your pronunciation as clear as Mr Sean McDowell's. Make it open. Many of the sentences are not clear. A very useful resource if not well clear, it's a sad thing. Thank you for the resources you presented.
I have heard, that they have found archaeological evidence of some kind that shows that it was a feature of common ridicule to speak about the god of the Jews as a donkey. Do you have a reference for that this would, of course, give even more force to the caricatures of Jesus With a donkeys head
What? No James Ossuary?? Why not??
It still boggles the mind that many ancient historians and their works are accepted but the Bible isn’t.
It boggles my mind that anyone still takes this mythology serious. Yahweh never existed any more than Baal, Asherah, Chemosh, Marduk, Dagon or any of the other gods mentioned in the Bible.

@@kymdickman8910 the specious and fraudulent claims from the Bible and it's interlocutors is not evidence for anything.
If people are claiming the existence of God and Jesus we need some kind of proof, surely!
I know just enough to be dangerous (usually to myself, as in making a fool thereof); but it constantly surprises and frustrates me how these brilliant PhDs will place AD after the year, as in "70 AD." Of course it should always be "AD 70" (i.e. The Year of Our Lord 70, or, Anno Domini 70). The impetus for this error is the surprisingly persistent misconception that AD stands for "After Death." I know it's hard to believe and funny; but many people still assume this is the case. Naturally the funny thing, if that were true, would be the roughly 33 years (Jesus' earthly life) which would historically have no numerical year ascribed to them. As NT Wright jokingly refers to them, "Those embarrassing years between birth and crucifixion."
p.s. Love the show, sir. Just having a little bit of nerd fun with my particular pet peeve.
The "spiderman" lie says that the source being well-researched/ having a good understanding of an environment has no fbearing on evaluation of a sources veracity.
For someone who is writing fiction, the reseach can be important, knowing how people in another situation, place and time would act, dress and to give actual details of the environments.
But once the fiction is written it is also open to contradiction by other sources on the same subject on all the details given in the fictional narrative and that would be random to the fiction writers research. Things that were known to him he would have used, things he got wrong he would have used, but what was not known to him he would not have been able to use.
Now take a handful of fiction writers from the first century who are coordinated in their writings, well researched where any research would be done by travel and library visits, travel and interviews or travel and observation on location, producting individual pieces of fiction that survives all analyses, challenges and new findings over 2000 years.
Only a moron would believe that.

Has anyone visited the religions wiki lately? They claim the Bible doesn't meet any of the criteria for a historical book or reference. They claim the accounts are not eyewitness accounts and so on. Does anyone have an organised set of facts to refute their blind assertions? Or can anyone point me to resources that directly deal directly point by point with these types of atheistic minds?
Is this information published?
In his two books on archaeology
@@SeanMcDowell Any papers?
Sean, which you put more into this and showed the viewers what he's talking about. I'm talking about the star on Herod's crown, etc. I don't think you did this subject matter justice. You could have shown the coins with the attendant verses that show what Dr Kennedy is talking about. Like Queen Salamae. All this,...with the paralel verses would have have been appropriate. I therefore see this as not sufficently put together. Exiting out.
Would be nice to see the artifact for more than 5 seconds 😅
