Why John's Gospel Is So Different

John's Gospel is the most unique of the four, but why did John believe he had to make such a radical departure from the style and substance of the other Gospel writers?

8:35 THANK YOU (I kant thank you enough for mentioning that) also I really love how everything came together in the last third of the video! Kinda blew my mind, tbh

[@therosamundproject6096]

Glad you liked that part! Kant will show up briefly in the next video as well. I'm thinking of making him one of the channel's recurring jokes. :P
Thank you so much! That means a lot! I was really happy with my thesis on this video, and I hope I can get to the point where I can script at this level of quality consistently.

[@MrFrog-rc3zx]

I wonder how a video of such quality has no recognition.

Thank you for posting this broo.

This was really well put together. Unfortunately people don't love this kind of honest content. Everyone wants to find the easy way out. Anyways, I find it interesting that John is the only one to never get truly persecuted.

This video is incorrect. None of the gospels were written by any of the apostles.

@@marveloussoftware1417 This comment is incorrect; two of the Gospels are not written by the apostles: The Gospel According to Mark and the Gospel According to Luke.

[@marveloussoftware1417]

@@liheibao666 none of the gospels were written by any of the apostles, they were written by educated greeks. The apostles were illiterate. At that time less than 10% of the population were literate and the ones that were definitely were fishermen nor tax collectors.

Here's a hint: The Apostle John was not the author of that gospel. It was another man who wrote it who was not an Apostle. It's the same young man who was dressed only in linen grave clothes in the garden scene in Mark's account.

Do you have sources for this claim?

[@makarov138]

@@SUPERPIXELPLANET Yes as a matter of fact. The internal sources of the text of John. Nowhere does the text say that John wrote it. Nowhere does it say the disciple that Jesus loved was John.

[@makarov138]

@@Mavors1099 Agreed! And nowhere in the text does it say the author is John the Apostle. But why, when we are told in all four gospel accounts, that it is cold enough to want an open fire, would this young man have nothing else on but grave clothes? Can you fathom any possible reason for the inadequate clothing? Why would he be dressed that seemingly odd way? Here's a hint: look up the way the word "linen" is used in the New Testament, and how the Jews used linen in their day. There you will find your answer. Then you will find the answer as to why that young man was dressed only in linen. And where in the text does it say the "Disciple whom Jesus loved" was John? It doesn't! Where is it in the text the "the other Disciple" is identified as the Apostle John? It doesn't! These are ALL preconceived assumptions programed into our brains beforehand. Which, quiet frankly are false! Including the assumption that John wrote it!

John's Gospel is not only better than the Synoptics, but is much better than Revelation.

If you really want to know why John's gospel is different you would need to examine the 36 other gospels that weren't included in the bible.
The name John was added by an editor, all four gospels were written anonymously. Nobody knows who wrote them but we do know they were educated greeks, not any of the apostles.

[@sorenpx]

You say "but we do know they were educated Greeks, not any of the apostles." You may want to be careful with making such broad statements as there are plenty of scholars who affirm that the Gospel of John was indeed written by the apostle. The sheer obvious familiarity with Jewish culture and the Old Testament should tip you off that these books were indeed written by Jews.

This video is informative and well put together, although unfortunately, it perpetuates the myth that the author is one of Jesus' disciples.

[@karenthelowest1777]

@@carlosarias4319Why unlikely? Can you give me some reasons?

[@carlosarias4319]

@@karenthelowest1777 95 AD (give or take) is a good accepted date for the writing of John. That's 65 years after the death of Jesus. Longer than the average expectancy of a generation back then. So, too old to still be alive or otherwise too old to remember. Also, the NT is written in articulate Koine Greek. John spoke Aramaic and was illiterate. Thus, he did not write it. Someone else, who spoke perfect Greek did, 60 years after Jesus died.

[@karenthelowest1777]

@@carlosarias4319I‘m gonna do my research about 95 AD, cause from what I know, we don‘t have any original copy of the Gospel of John, so it could potentially be written sooner? But yes you‘re right, it would be highly unlikely that John lived up to 95 AD. Another thing I know is that back in the day pretty much everyone agreed to the authorship of John in the early church. We have to consider, that they debated about authorship of some epistles I think, but the authorship of the gospels were clear from the get go.
And one last thing, why do we assume that Jesus and his disciples only spoke and understood aramaic? Wasn‘t Greek the universal language back then, just like English is now? Wouldn‘t it be likely, that they knew how to speak in Greek and Hebrew (cause they were familiar with the old testament)? And of course we could say, that John could‘ve simply learned how to write aswell or could‘ve dictated the story to a person who wrote it down.
