The Gospels are some of the most reliable ancient documents and this video explains why. But also be sure to check out the full series where we look at a ton of evidence for the reliability of the Gospels. It’s important to remember we are not arguing the evidence in this video is enough to show the Gospels are reliable. We can only argue that from all the data in this series.

Thank you IP! You were great help for me during the last year. I had a weak, dying faith, but God used your videos to give me the assurrence I needed. I finally began to read the bible again, pray and share my faith.
Blessings to you and your family!
I am so glad I could help you.
Read! The more you do, the lesser your faith becomes in Christianity.
You can atleast spot some contradictions if not hundreds.
halfway through, and loving it. this Series has been one of my favorites on your channel!
Thank you
Hey IP can you make part 2 on the church fathers teaching the trinity@@InspiringPhilosophy
What else is in this series?
@@Kevin-gt9yq he showed them at the start
@@Kevin-gt9yq it's a whole series on Gospel reliability. it's worth a watch, for sure!
Yes, the Gospels are some of the most reliable documents from ancient times. The ONLY reason they are challenged is because they speak about God and religion.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
@@seabea1838 , Christians have that. Skeptics just don't like the evidence.
@@seabea1838 No, they don't - they need good evidence, which we have.
The "ONLY" reason? That's simply not true at all.
@@QCMP Reasonably we cannot radically change our worldview and accept the resurrection to be true based claims from a single group. Where are the external or hostile accounts confirming resurrection? To what extent did eyewitnesses directly contribute to the writing of the gospels? Were the eyewitnesses who were alive at the time of writing of the gospels actually fact checking what was written? Why do the gospels give such radically different accounts of significant details? Did Jesus go to Galilee after the resurrection or not?
Cannot get enough of this, they deserve membership support , Christian Bible platforms that explain both Written and Scholars backing up Historical support for the Gospels among a variety of other subjects in there extensive library
Please support us and help us create more videos like this one.

Ironic, I just debated many Muslims and critics over the past week on the reliability of the bible. It truly is outstanding, we are blessed to live in a time where we have access to effective and sufficient proof that muzzles 99% of critics due to sheer truth.
Ask them where does the Quran claim to restore or correct the Torah and Gospel, instead of confirming them, which it states time and again.
They cannot.
Thus they do not get to claim bible corruption, since the Quran itself never states it.

@TerribleTerms About as stupid as calling scientific paradoxes "contradictions" because they seem to make no sense on a glance and devoid of context:
1. Is the Schrodinger cat dead or alive? It can't be both nor neither.
2. Are photons waves or particles? They can't be both.
3. Are electrons particles or undefined clouds of possibilities? They can't be both.
I can go on and on.
See how it works?
Just like all the above have explanations, so does your list.
You just choose to ignore them when convenient...
@TerribleTerms One example: when in the OT anyone "sees" God, it's to a point.
Moses asked to fully view God, and was told it was not possible for he would die as a result: Exodus 33:20 (one can find multiple examples of men being terrified at and unable to witstand the presence of God after the Fall, due to our now sinful nature)
That is what John means that no one has seen God until Jesus made Him (The Father) known through him (The Son).
But to understand and even be aware of this, you need to do some actual reading (the Bible must be read in context and as a whole, not quotemined in isolation).
Super happy to see you defend undesigned coincidences! This argument never gets enough credit.
Lord Jesus only you can carry the burdens I face as a single parent. I feel so alone. Heavenly Father please provide me with the wisdom to make the right decisions for my children, and the courage to face each day with optimism. Lord because I continue to struggle with providing for my boys both have special needs. Heavenly Father as I struggle financially grant me strength.❤️
I will pray for you and your family. God bless you!
Praying for you, God will never leave you
Testify has some great videos on Undesigned coincidences. Happy to see them getting some airtime here.
We're reading history, not mythology 🙌❤️ (And just a random reminder : Christ is Risen!)
Myth didn't have the connotation of being untrue until the 19th century and coincidentally (?) the rise of atheism. Historically the word simply meant something that was communicated orally or passed from one person down to another. I suspect the word mouth is etymologically related to myth.
@@sigurdholbarki8268 Well thank you for the dose of random knowledge, I appreciate it and in that case, it's not a myth in modern understanding❤️
@@teabiscuit417it is a myth. Prove me that there are 3 gods in 1.
@Philosophyandtheology what
@@sigurdholbarki8268 Not trying to be snarky, but merely, I suppose, pedantic. It took me less than 90 seconds to discover that the two words probably aren't related.
Amazing work, Glory be to God !
Hype! Love IP, great academic research. Screw anti theist hate disguised as mockery and disbelief.
Amen!!!
That's a great distinction to make, between atheists and anti-theists.
Michael Jones can you do a video responding to this book the Christ, a critical analysis of the evidence of his existence this book is written by an atheist scholar who believe that a man named Jesus did exist, but the Jesus portrayed in the four gospels is a myth I would like you to respond to this book and see what you think.

I really appreciate you and your research, I wish you nothing but the best. Your channels help young or new Christians defend their faith against those that would tear it down. Keep up the great work.
Excellent work! This is why we support you on Patreon.
It's crazy because I just read in the Old Testament this morning. This is what I read
Ezekiel 20:45-49 LSB
[45] Now the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, [46] “Son of man, set your face toward Teman and speak, dripping out words, against the south and prophesy against the forest land of the Negev [47] and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh: thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and the whole surface from south to north will be scorched by it. [48] And all flesh will see that I, Yahweh, have made it burn; it shall not be quenched.” ’ ” [49] Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’ ”
Because God aka Jesus (God in the flesh) talked like this in the Old Testament too.
IP your video on hell helped me accept Christ. It really showed me how much Jesus loves me. I will be attending a church soon for the first time in my life.
I just want you to know the effects your videos have.
You should consider an Oriental Orthodox Church
@ why so? I don’t know a lot about different denominations I’m struggling making a decision it seems very overwhelming.
A fabulous series: thank you.
Awesome series IP. God bless you
Thanks IP for rationalizing our faith
Commenting for the algorithm!
Thank you IP for doing such great work! :)
Amazing gospel series IP, good work! 🔥
Incredible video dude, You have both style and grace. God Bless everything you’re working toward my friend 🎉
Oh my God, what a banger! It's too bad that this will be the last in the series. Thanks once again IP. God bless you and your family!
I love your videos, man! Would you consider remaking your videos on the 7 ecumenical councils? the way you present your videos is truly inspiring, thank you so much! 😁
Greetings IP! There's a church here in the Philippines named “Iglesia Ni Cristo”. They're contradicting the Gospels and saying that they're the real church. They also say that if you're not in their church, you will not be saved. I would love to see this debunking in the future! Thank you and God Bless!
They're just an anti-Trinitarian cult.
I love your videos IP. It makes me like a little child wanting to learn more about Jesus to love Him and worship Him above all!
Glory be to the Father, Son and Spirit now and forever! Amen!
Now is time for reliability and accuracy of Acts and the Epistles 🗣️🔥🔥
Great work is always. Thank you for another wonderful video. It was very informative.
Attempt number AAAAAAA of asking IP to update his recommended reading list.
Also, attempt number [more than 10] of asking IP to break it down funky style.
Always know I'm getting something good with IP. God Bless!
Hey IP I have watched a lot of your videos and debates for almost a year now and I’m a huge fan you really helped me with my faith man thank you so much. 🙏 Could you make a video about if Isaiah 7:14 talks about the virgin birth prophecy or if it just means young woman thanks IP. ✊
as a catholic im want so that everyone would think the Orthodox Catholics and Protestants are brothers and form one church and animals, like people, have souls and the sayings Michel Jones from this channel is the greatest genius in the church and then Dr. Michel Heiser besides that the new mascot of the Vatican Luce is cute
IP I love ur work I almost watched all ur playlists it's kinda hard to find good vids outside playlists thank u I learned so much from u God bless u and ur family if ur having thoughts of becoming a scholar go for it my room will be filled with ur books.
This video is the first time I have heard someone make “undesigned coincidences” seem like a plausible argument
Love this conclusion to the series!
8:08 wow Jesus was a really smart guy it’s almost like he knew everything
Amazing!...the Bible is always been the TRUTH and nothing but the Truth that we can rely on. This further solidifies it. Brilliant!✝🔥
This is a banger!
Hello, IP, thank you so much for this video, I also believe that the Gospels are really reliable.
I love your videos.
I was thinking about whether there is a method to give more authenticity to the Gospels if they are compared with other religious history texts. I mean, if using the same methods for other sacred books, can we then conclude that the texts are much more reliable if the others are less so?
Thanks for this mate. God bless you
Common IP W
I don't understand why these Reddit type pseudo-intellectuals keep showing up in the comments on every single one of your videos. You know the type, the "enlightened" attitude, the mocking behavior, the thematic name; it'd be worth arguing against if they said anything other than word salad. Weirdos man, anyways good video.
A lot of them are closeted anti-theists. I rather have an honest anti-theist than a dishonest lacktheist.
They give their life to fight a god they believe isnt real, and we are crazy because we give our life to a god who we believe real
They act like they turned 2,000 of religion on its head by asking questions “no one has heard of”
I am going to try to get my youngest son to listen to this with me next month.
Before IP dies he should do a denomination reveal.
@@FaithfullyFishingForFacts Probably anglo or something similar. Very high church but not catholic.
I.P 'I'm an atheist ' 😱 lol
@@RamadaDiver what a plot twist
@@Малик-ю8е he is roman catholic
He is almost definitely lutherian, mostly because in his streams he sometimes mentions what to go for or avoid in lutherian churches
Skeptics, reply to this comment with your critiques. I'm curious to know...
Ip you are a legend ❤
Informative video!
Great vid man
I LOVE that animation in the intro.
The internal, interwoven connection of these eyewitness accounts show their divine inspiration.
good video IP can you make a video on the preservation of the Torah Pentateuch.
Hows it going my friend? You have helped me alot in my journey to finding my faith, the time and effort you put into this channel and knowledge you have is absolutely amazing. I love this content. I was hoping maybe you or someone in the comments could help me understand this one question that keeps bugging me. If Heaven is paradise, how could I be forever happy if my child or spouse is in Hell because they didn't accept Jesus like I have?
If they indeed are damned, then in heaven you will be in perfect agreement and in perfect submission to God, and will be able to trust in his divine judgement, and rest assured knowing he was fair in his justice, being thankful he at least saved yourself, when he could have justly damned both you and your family.
another great video, if this makes you tick read 'Magnetic Aura' it will help you a lot
bot
Is there a way to learn the gospels this way ourselves? I’d love to be able to memorize the gospels.
Incredible!! ❤
perfect timing
Another great series for you to do would be a deeper dive into the parallels with other good god-like figures: dionysius, Osiris, etc. Dennis R Macdonald send to be getting more and more play recently. Might be nice to have an expanded counter from your original shorter videos on the subject.
I LOVE U IP!!! URE SLAY
One of your best videos in a while! 🫡
thank you for this honey
Jesus spoke in puns? Dude, I'm more Christ-like than I thought!
Jesus was the original 90s kid lol
Does that mean you are Jewish and you follow all 619 commandments?
Great videos
Do you have a pdf version of your vids? I blew out my ears and can't hear well enough.
Do you see the square with 'cc' in it at the top of the video itself? If you click that it will put up subtitles you can read while you watch. It can be really helpful for me too. :)
It is between the other square and the gear icon on the video screen when you pause the vid. On the top right.
@1faithchick7 try it yourself and you will how much you are missing. Secondly I can read faster than they can talk.
Very powerful.
You know the explanation is strong if it creates a wrestling ring....
Please do a video response to the Alex o Connor and cliff video!
I really like Lydia McGrew's points on this topic, great video brother!
I believe people disagree with the gospels more because it is full of personal theologies!! Mathew Luke mark and John have their personal theology of Jesus.
To disagree that Jesus existed or that there were no eye witnesses is silly because there is many upon many proof, Thus those who disagree with the authenticity of the gospels disagree because it is men doing personal theology of Jesus. Which is a question of faith in which many do not have!
Hey can you make a video about platonic concepts
Awesome!
Yo, IP, the image at 3:00, could you link it?
@InspiringPhilosophy,
Do you take online calls? I'm struggling with some conflicts in relation to my faith.
I was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and after watching your videos, I don't know what to believe anymore.
I've also heard some historians talking about Jehovah being a storm god originally, and it's very confusing!
Yhwh is a storm God . He's the God of all things
Hey my guy, Godlogic and Sam Shumone(sp?) do a good job explaining things like that. They both have shows you can call into on YT. Both have specifically talked about JW too. :)
@@DylanConatser-y8i You could also look up 'TalkAboutDoubts' which is a Christian hotline for doubters.
I don't think IP is one person behind it but other Christian apologists are.
U should believe in true, Trinitarian Christianity, get immersion baptism in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and repent. Also, the idea of Jehovah being a storm god is just an atheist hypothesis with no evidence to support it except Jehovah sometimes doing weather things
Aloha Snack Bar
Would you do a podcast with Alex O'Connor if you could?
Absolutely
@@InspiringPhilosophy That would be a fun thing to see
Hello inspiring philosophy, how are you? I had a question that has been disturbing me. It may seem a little silly to ask. But Biblically speaking how do we know that an afterlife does exist and is not just a story to bring comfort to our mortal lives?
Bcs Bible is God's word and God doesn't lie.
Glory To The Triune GOD
Nice!👍
@InspiringPhilosophy do you have anything relating to Marcion? I've been reading about Marcion priority theory and it feels to fall into the realm of conspiratorial of the early church fathers.
Also you should write a book
Please IP, destroy Dennis MacDonalds hypothesis that Mark Luke and Acts imitate Homer before it gets any bigger.
You should collab with scholar Wesley from Canada he recently demolish Bill Carson on a debate.
Commenting for the algorithm 👍
We believe everything else except for Jesus lol. Man is just wicked and evil and love darkness rather than light. Just call upon his name and watch him reveal himself to you. He is LORD
the best decision I've made this year is reading the book 'Magnetic Aura'
Freemasonry is wrong. They think that Yahweh and Baal are the same being, when Yahweh proved in 1 Kings 18:16-44 that he is not the false god Baal.
They blaspheme God's holy name by combining it with the false gods Baal and On. Holy means "separate/set apart." So when Jesus said, "Father, may your name be kept holy," he was saying, "Father, may your name be kept separate from other names." The Freemasons call their god Yahbalon/Jubalon, which is combining God's name with false god names.
In 1 Kings 18:16-44, God proved that he is not the false god Baal through the prophet Elijah, so out of all the false gods to choose, Baal is the absolute worst one they could've picked. This is why you ALWAYS hear "balon/ballin" in all of the rap/hip-hop song. Even in songs of other genres. Doesn't matter if it's pop/country/spanish/rap, they all do it. It's even entrenched in some Christian songs (mainly Christian him hop songs)
The password for the 1st degree is "Boaz." The password for the 2nd degree is "Jachin." The password for the 3rd degree is "Ma-Ha-Bone" and is the one most often used.
The handshake for the 1st degree is a regular handshake with your thumb pressing on the knuckle of their index finger. The 2nd degree handshake is a regular handshake with your thumb pressing the knuckle of their middle finger. The 3rd degree handshake is called the "Lion's Paw" where you wrap your pinky and thumb around their hand and they do the same.
The 3rd degree handshake also has five points of contact between you and the other person called the "Five Points of Fellowship" (which isn't their satanic pentagram) 1. Inside right foot. 2. Inside right knee. 3. Lion's Paw. 4. Left hand on their back. 5 Right cheek.
The ritual for the 3rd degree is a mockry of baptism. In baptism, we die, are buried, and are raised with Christ. Their ritual is like a play where you play "Hiram Abiff" who supossedly helped Solomon build the first Temple. You are blind folded and play Hiram and are "slain," literally buried where they throw dirt on you with a shovel, and then someone playing as "Solomon" prays to Jubalon in Jubalon's name and you are "resurrected."
Their god is a false God.
Teach people the Trinity and pray for the lost.
There is much agreement because they are not independent.
My guy, yes they were. There is no proof whatsoever they hung out and wrote it together. Matthew went to India. Paul was going around Rome and Greece. Luke wrote down what the other people who were there said, like Mary Jesus's mother and Peter. Mark was doing his own thing. We know who wrote them. And they were written at different times in different places based on different perspectives. Also, if they all got together to write them they 1. Would not have each written their own version of the same book. No one does this. And 2. If they did the books would be identical in every way with no differences. Yet here we are.
@ pretty much every scholar believes mark was written first. Matthew and Luke used mark as source material. John was written later. I never said they hung out. There is very little evidence that they were even written by 4 single people. It’s much more likely they were anonymous and written by other people.
Hi IP, Thanks for your channel, and we all affirm that it's 100% the Bible is the Inspired word.
I'm just concerned about this new video from Derek of MythVision Podcast. Can you please address this new video is a bit controversial and might weaken a few believers faith?, another unfounded crap against the Bible that should be addressed, it's called Top 15 Prophecies of Jesus DEBUNKED: th-cam.com/video/puez1gWtcbE/w-d-xo.html Thanks and God Bless.
Would you be interested in doing a video on of the gospels were a game of telephone see a lot of skeptics say this but I don’t see any evidence of a game of telephone.
How many of these coincidences are there?
An atheist watching this: but how do you know it’s true if it’s true? 😂 I want evidence that I’ll deny and refuse to look into because I’ve already made up my mind to hate God
@ezgaming3615 yeah how dare they expect tangible, verifiable, accurate evidence. Why can't they just accept the baseless claims, false assertions and illogical reasoning of the bad faith apologetics presented... 🤦♂️ 🤣
Despite the constant moving of the goalposts by Christians in an attempt to prove their god every claim or assertion attributed to the divine has never for the entirety of humanity, not one single time ever, been shown to be of supernatural origins but has always, in every instance, upon investigation has been proven to have a naturally occurring explanation.

Hey Michael Jones, can you do a video that was published I think a year ago or so but I do remember the title is called Christianity is called the biggest lie ever told Christianity and I would like you to do a response video and see your thoughts and in this video it talks about morality interpretations of the Bible historical accuracy and basically also the morality of God I would believe murdering people is evil, but yet got himself did things in the Bible oh, most modern day Americans will not see as more and then this video and talked about how we Christian just use a divine command theory by saying god create the universe Therefore he decides right along, but in this video of the person stating that argues that we don’t even have proof that our God exist of the divine command theory does not apply to us so I would like you to respond to this video and give you a personal thoughts

A real God who truly wanted us to know Its rules would have given us a perfect rule book.
The Bible has all the hallmarks of a human invention.
Ah the tried and true unassailable objective that if God is real this world would be completely different. So original.
Rules aren't perfect according to Paul. They are nothing without God's grace.
@@mickeylax9975
" Ah the tried and true unassailable objective that if God is real this world would be completely different. So original."
---- Straw-man argument.
---- The World could still be as it is and God could have provided us a perfect instruction manual on how to navigate Reality.
---- Additionally, a perfect instruction manual would not violate the nonsensical argument of "free will" because people could still choose to follow the instructions or not follow as they saw fit.
---- The Bible has all the hallmarks of human contradiction, hypocrisy, ignorance, and spite.
---- On that alone, it should be obvious that the Bible did not come from an OMNI being with our best interest in Its designs.

---- If God was as gracious as Paul claims It is, then It would have provided us with perfect instructions.
---- How can God be OMNI and yet be incapable of providing perfect instructions on how to navigate the Reality It created?
---- It makes no sense.
---- If somebody tells you they intelligently designed and created a technology but they could not explain how they created it, how to properly use it, how to maintain it, and how to troubleshoot for errors, then you would be reasonable to doubt that person was the real creator of that technology.
---- It is really that simple to not believe in the God of Abraham.
@@francmittelo6731there are perfect instructions. The problem is that you don't believe they are.
It's really simple really. Yet, the entirety of scripture and how it relates to this world isn't. But complaining about that is like a person complaining - "why can I not simply understand quantum physics without ever reading even a single book about it".
I do not believe we should say Jesus used overstatement or hyperbole. It makes any of His sayings open to being ignored. You can take anything you don't like, call it a hyperbole and tone it down until it's exactly what you would have done anyway.
And it's totally unnecessary everything He says makes sense without this idea.
The context will help you determine if its hyperbole or not.
Hyperbole usually includes words like
All None Everyone .
If it's a universal or absolutist statement, that's usually a good indicator
You obviously don't understand Jesus use of hyperbole to get peoples attention of an issue like cutting off your hand if it keeps you from the kingdom of God.
Okay, then should all men pluck out their eyes?
But he literally did. Do you think we should cut off our hands?
@iamdigory
For example ' no one comes to the father except through me '
If we take this as absolute and universal .
That would mean those who haven't heard of jesus or physically can't follow him or even think of him . Like babies .
Can not come to the father .
It's a general rule but it doesn't deny exceptions
1. Circular reasoning regarding memory reliability
Claims Jesus taught in memorable ways to help disciples remember
But this assumes the gospel accounts accurately record his teaching style
Cannot use the gospels to prove their own reliability
2. Problematic use of "undesigned coincidences"
Treats minor details aligning between gospels as evidence of truthfulness
Ignores possibility of later authors deliberately adding complementary details
Many "coincidences" could be explained by later writers having access to earlier gospels
3. Selective evidence on dating
Asserts early dating (50s-60s CE) without addressing scholarly arguments for later dates
Downplays significance of gaps between events and writing
Ignores evidence of theological development between earlier and later gospels
4. Oversimplified view of oral tradition
Assumes cultural emphasis on memory guarantees accuracy
Doesn't address how oral traditions can change over time
Fails to consider role of theological interpretation in shaping traditions
5. Methodological issues
Repeatedly assumes historical reliability to prove historical reliability
Dismisses alternative explanations for textual patterns
Fails to apply same skeptical standards to supernatural claims as historical ones
The core problem is the argument begins by assuming what it aims to prove - that the gospels represent accurate historical accounts rather than later theological interpretations.
