Same here. After my conversion two years ago I was on the theistic evolution side as I had never seriously questioned evolution and just thought it was the realm of kooky Protestants.
An outstanding, thoughtful, well researched explanation of the origin of Genesis that I recommend highly as antidote to today’s poisonous secular and liberal Christian explanations. It rings true. Buy the book, it is a treasure.
34:25 he explains the 3 x's repetition of the flood account as coming from Noah's 3 sons. However, line repetition as I understand it is a Hebrew literary construct commonly seen in the psalms where a thought is repeated in subsequent lines using different words. Perhaps the psalmists picked this up from Genesis? This video was well worth watching.
There are two silver amulets found in Israel, 2 hundred years before the Babylonian capture. They quote the O.T. word for word. I believe Moses wrote the first five books of the Torah, around 1,400 B.C. God bless.
In summary, we can believe the Genesis verbatim. And we shall better seek from God, the faith to believe in atleast God’s ability to transfer and preserve the chapter 1, if not 1-11, for all humanity (not just for self styled elite intellectuals). Anyone who doesn’t want to believe the chapter 1 as is, doesn’t believe in the ability of God, and better not to hope to enter in (hidden)Heaven.
I recently heard on the institute of Catholic culture that Moses wrote Genesis and that the story of Adam and Eve in the garden paralleled Moses’s time in the desert and going up the mountain and speaking with God etc etc It says he saw in Adam and Eve and the garden what he experienced. Yes or no?
He's saying Moses was more of an editor who combined several earlier accounts (the Genesis Documents) into one narrative (what we call the Book of Genesis). It actually makes sense, i.e. in the first account God is called Elohim because God Himself is the author but in the second account God is referred to as the Lord (because Adam is the author and God is the Lord to him).
the ancient libraries of Ninevah contained the story of Gilagmesh, of course they had writing. It's a great subject to study and why wouldn't the Holy Spirit inspire writing OT and NT...?
There is so much speculation and theorizing in this video. There is no way he could prove it was written by God on tablets to Adam that were passed down through generations and even the flood, based on context and form alone. With that logic, the Psalms would be incomprehensible with dozens of authors. We should just rest on the idea that the Holy Spirit is the author, who inspired man to record this record. Who recorded and when, we may never truly know. Take Job's statement here, for example: Job 19:23. He's making a COMPLAINT that no one is there to record his words, yet... here they are. Like Jeremiah and Baruch rewriting the scroll (Jeremiah 36:28), we don't require such a far reaching explanation for maintaining the integrity of the current biblical account as it is, though this view requires only faith.
Mr. Gladieux seems to be a pious man and I am glad he holds to tradition regarding the authorship of Genesis etc. However, he is in error in saying that God wrote the first chapter of Genesis - this is not what we have received from tradition. Proof: The Master states (Lombard) in II Sent., d. XXIII, c. 3 (written A.D. 1150): 4. It is believed that the first man also had knowledge of the Creator. For he knew by whom he had been created, not just by that mode of knowledge in which this is perceived only from hearing (Rom. x, 17), by which mode the absent God is now sought by believers, but by some interior inspiration in which he contemplated God’s presence. Nevertheless, he did not see either so excellently as the saints will see after this life, or as darkly (I Cor. xiii, 12) as we do in this life. 5. Moreover, the same man (Adam) appears to have received such knowledge of himself that he was not ignorant of what he owed to his superior and what to his equal and to his inferior. He also understood his own condition and order, namely what he was like at his creation and who he ought to proceed, what he ought to do, what to avoid. If he had not had knowledge of these things, he would not be guilty of transgression, nor would he have known himself.
Therefore, God did not write the first chapter of Genesis and give it to Adam, but he was created with this knowledge already. Moses wrote the first chapter of Genesis, just as he wrote the other 49, along with the four other books we have received. God bless
I don't see where Master Lombard writes or implies that God did not write the first chapter of Genesis in a special way. The fact that Adam knew from _hearing_ and by interior inspiration by Whom he was created and what he owed to Him, doesn't contradict at all the idea that God gave Adam His own account of the generations of the heavens and the Earth. It rather supports it, because from whom would Adam have _heard_ the truth of Creation except from the Lord God?
Thanks for this video. I am so so tired of being browbeaten by other Catholics. They tell me how I need to learn what kind of literary device is being used in each book of the Bible. How the creation account is "poetry". How a priest proved that the universe was created by a "big bang". That because they weren't scientific, they had to come up with this story on how the earth began. I am so so sick of it. I wish I could belong to a traditional parish where I wouldn't have to listen to this garbage. But there are none around here. Thanks for letting me "vent".
Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc could not have written God’s name as YHWH because that name was revealed to Moses and it specifically says in the Penteteuch that the patriarchs worshipped YHWH even though they did not know his name.
The Kolbe Center singlehandedly changed my mind about evolution and creation. Thank you.
Same here. After my conversion two years ago I was on the theistic evolution side as I had never seriously questioned evolution and just thought it was the realm of kooky Protestants.
This doesn't goes against evolution.
This has to go viral. I hope every millions of people see this video.
Absolutely love the Kolbe Center and their work.
After watching this video I started to check all the citations from Mr. Gladieux in the Hebrew text, and there is even more evident.
That’s cool. Do you read Hebrew? I don’t, that’s why I ask, to know if it’s possible for me to do the same. Thanks
God bless Mr. Hugh Owen and the Kolbe Centre. From poor apostate Ireland ☘️
I’ve been waiting so long to hear these explanations of Genesis.
WONDERFUL TEACHING AND WELL EXPLAINED = G I F T !!! Thank-you and God Bless!
This is absolute Brilliance. Ty Kolbe ctr for being True Historians.
*+INSTAVRARE OMNIA IN CHRISTO*
What really cooks my noodle with regard to God giving the Creation of the world to Adam is that Christ is the Word of God
'' Rise up Lord and may Your enemies be dispersed ... and those who hate You flee from Your face!" .... Moses
Wow thank you!
Beautiful exciting explanation.
Deo gratias! Thank you so much for this.
This was amazing!
This needs to be BROADCAST to EVERY RELIGIOUS HOUSE....
ESPECIALLY THE NASHVILLE DOMINICANS!!
This is fascinating.
An outstanding, thoughtful, well researched explanation of the origin of Genesis that I recommend highly as antidote to today’s poisonous secular and liberal Christian explanations. It rings true. Buy the book, it is a treasure.
Absolutely superb!
Profound and beautiful!
Insanely good teacher.
at 40:56 that awkwardness is also recognizable throughout the OT. I'm up to the book on Judges. Makes sense what he's saying...
34:25 he explains the 3 x's repetition of the flood account as coming from Noah's 3 sons. However, line repetition as I understand it is a Hebrew literary construct commonly seen in the psalms where a thought is repeated in subsequent lines using different words.

Fabuleux!
So interesting....we will be so surprised when God reveal everything to us.
There are two silver amulets found in Israel, 2 hundred years before the Babylonian capture.
They quote the O.T. word for word.
I believe Moses wrote the first five books of the Torah, around 1,400 B.C.
God bless.

I wish Fr Mikes bible in a year was rather taught by a person with the views and knowledge of this man.
It's all true..
Nice
How long did Moses sit on that mountain? Was it enough time with GOD to write the entire foundation
Just had an argument with my Lay Ministry Bible teacher about whether Moses wrote the Pentateuch...
What do you do with the Moses recorded his own death?
I recently heard on the institute of Catholic culture that Moses wrote Genesis and that the story of Adam and Eve in the garden paralleled Moses’s time in the desert and going up the mountain and speaking with God etc etc
It says he saw in Adam and Eve and the garden what he experienced.
Yes or no?
My other question is Jesus did not write the gospels , so why did Moses write the first 5 books?
🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Im comfused is he saying moses didnt write genesis
He's saying Moses was more of an editor who combined several earlier accounts (the Genesis Documents) into one narrative (what we call the Book of Genesis). It actually makes sense, i.e. in the first account God is called Elohim because God Himself is the author but in the second account God is referred to as the Lord (because Adam is the author and God is the Lord to him).
EVEN CHINESE HAVE RECORDS OF THE
GARDEN WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE
[ WEST ] IN RESPECT TO CHINA. THEY
HAVE A TEMPLE DEDICATED TO ONE GOD
The Chinese descended from Joktan, and they were monotheistic before the advent of Daoism and Buddhism. They called God "Shangdi".
the ancient libraries of Ninevah contained the story of Gilagmesh, of course they had writing. It's a great subject to study and why wouldn't the Holy Spirit inspire writing OT and NT...?
this makes absolutely no sense, Moses wrote Genesis through Revelations, what is this man on?
There is so much speculation and theorizing in this video. There is no way he could prove it was written by God on tablets to Adam that were passed down through generations and even the flood, based on context and form alone. With that logic, the Psalms would be incomprehensible with dozens of authors.

That’s the Holy Face chaplet quote from scripture
It would be better to say Israelite instead of Jewish

Embarrassingly poor scholarship.
have any facts to back this up?
Thank you for warning me not to trust your work.
Yes, please provide something other than aspersions. You’re just creating more confusion.
Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc could not have written God’s name as YHWH because that name was revealed to Moses and it specifically says in the Penteteuch that the patriarchs worshipped YHWH even though they did not know his name.
Also, he contradicts at least St John Chrysostom, who says that Moses wrote about the creation as a sort of “reverse prophecy,”
