      Stop celebrating Easter, it's a pagan festival and the Messiah didn't even rise on a Sunday, he rose on the Sabbath day. And Easter promotes eating unclean things like ham too. Read Jeremiah 7:18 about what God thinks of this celebration.

      Personally, I think these types of arguments, while interesting, are relatively weak as far as apologetics go. Even if an atheist granted that 95% of the Bible is historical fact the only part that actually matters is Jesus' resurrection. You will generally never be able to convince someone of this unless you first get them to question their atheist presuppositions and prove to them that God exists in the first place. This is generally why philosophical/presuppositional arguments are stronger because they function at a paradimatic level. TLDR, convincing someone that God exists is prior to convincing them that Jesus is God.

    Something else I noticed in this story is that when Jesus asked Peter the question the third time *Jesus* uses the word “phileo” and not “agapao”, which says to me that Jesus was willing to meet Peter where Peter was. He didn’t continue to demand of Peter a love Peter knew he wasn’t able to give. Jesus is gracious.

    • @MatthewFearnley
      @MatthewFearnley 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The NET Bible footnotes says there is probably no significant distinction between Phileo and Agapaeo.
      One reason it gives is that if the conversation took place in Aramaic or Hebrew, they would probably have used the same word for "love" in all six instances.

    • @cavalier973
      @cavalier973 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yes, I don’t think that Jesus and Peter were speaking in Greek, but when the Holy Spirit inspired the Gospel writers, He had them write in Greek, and I believe that is so that we don’t miss the nuance of some things, like Jesus’s and Peter’s conversation, here.
      If “agapao” and “phileo” are interchangeable, then why not just use one or the other, for each time Jesus asks the question, and for each of Peter’s answers?
      I think there is a reason why John used the different words, rather than the same words for each time Jesus asked Peter “Do you love me?”
      I don’t think Peter was grieved because Jesus was “pestering him”, but rather because Peter-and John, who witnesses the exchange-caught that Jesus had somehow changed the tone of the question to match Peter’s responses.
      I could be wrong, of course.

      No they do not, they copy from each other but then they change what they consider wrong in the others. So each author considered the other story as false. So they produced their story. By the way we have around 90 authors who wrote gospel stories about Jesus and from the war and infight only this collection survived.

    • @MatthewFearnley
      @MatthewFearnley 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@TorianTammas Maybe the fact that these survived has something to do with them being genuine?
      I'm not aware of there being over 80 alternative gospels, but the ones I do know of are widely rejected for reasons beyond simply not being part of the canon.
      One hypothesis could be the authors considered details in other Gospels to be wrong, but there are other hypotheses too. They could just be details given by another source, or edits made to highlight different information.
      The presence of undesigned coincidences between different accounts are evidence against edited parts being fictitious.

    I have to be honest, I'm not strongly convinced that there's a specific connection between "Even if all the others fall away I will not", and "Do you love me more than these?"
    Although maybe that's partly because I'm so familiar with the latter exchange that I've never thought to question the reason behind it.

  • @NineHundredDollarydoos
    @NineHundredDollarydoos 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    For as long as I've been a Bible reading Christian, I always thought that Jesus saying "Do you love me more than these?" was just asking if Peter loves Jesus more than he loves his fellow disciples. I did realize there was a connection between Peter denying Jesus three times and Jesus asking him the question three times, but I thought it was just a rebuke to the denying itself. I never realized it was referring to that specific claim by Peter, or why Jesus chose to rebuke him like that.
    Thank you for clearing up something that had been confusing me for so long without me even knowing it. I wonder if there are any more things I've been misunderstanding. Guess I have no choice but to watch more of your videos and find out.

So that's probably how they learned the name and Peter wrote it down in his eyewitness testimony.
      How do we know the tomb was in a place called the Garden of Jospeh? Well, in the synoptics we learn that Joseph was a secret disciple, so that's how Peter would have known this personal name.

    • @MatthewFearnley
      @MatthewFearnley 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The coincidences are undesigned by the men who wrote the accounts.
      (John probably wasn't thinking, "I'll have Jesus refer back to a statement Peter made in another Gospel" - he likely didn't design it that way.")
      Depending on your view of inspiration, you might say the Holy Spirit designed them, but for most skeptics that would be conceding too much.

    1:51 - I vaguely remember watching someone's video on this passage a few weeks ago.
    If I remember correctly, they said that Jesus asked Peter if he loved (agape) Him the first two times. In which Peter responds that he does love (phileo) Him.. And then the 3rd time that Jesus asks him, He asks Peter if he loves (phileo) Him.
    I didn't fully comprehend that terminology and its context, and I guess I'm still struggling with it. I think I vaguely remember them explaining that the term "agape" has some sort of greater meaning than the term "phileo"? Maybe I'm wrong.
    And is Jesus using "phileo" the 3rd time Him leveling with Peter?

    • @ProselyteofYah
      @ProselyteofYah 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      "Agape" means self-sacrificing love, love of those even of whom we do not know, charitable love, and the highest most noble form of love which is unconditional. "Phileo" is family or brotherly love, affection for a family member.

    • @MatthewFearnley

      There's also a channel, C.S. Lewis Doodles, that uses drawings to bring this and other books to life.
      All that said, to my knowledge, most Bible translations don't attempt to bring out the differences between Phileo and Agape here. So I don't know how much I would read into it.

      @TestifyApologetics  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      I don’t think I’m seeing it wrong at all. The word Jesus uses is agape, and Peter, now humbled, says, ‘Lord, you know I phileo you,’ which isn’t the same kind of love Jesus is asking about. It’s pretty clear Peter has been humbled by his denial. He sees what his master is saying about his previously boastful attitude, and that’s not boasting anymore. Jesus is restoring him, and saying, ‘Show your dedication not by your boastful words, but by what you do, which is feeding my sheep.
