@@kimberlyquakenbush4772 never too old! Last Feb I said my “yes” to Him. In June I found a church I love and was baptised in October. I’m still learning and still hungry. The way God has gently been transforming me is amazing. So much to learn. Thank you and God bless.
The Chosen has brought Andrew to my attention. I am fascinated by his unimportance, as it seems, within the group yet his importance just a little more behind the scenes... There are so many reasons I can identify with him more than with any other disciple.
I miss you when I don't see a video everday. Miss Chosen too. I enjoy all this study. I have been biding my time waiting for season three watching, One for Israel. It is amazing what God is doing all over the world. I pray for all of us The body of Christ everywhere. It is awesome to hear the testimony of a Jewish person learning about Jesus. Muslims and Arabs are learning too. This truely is the best time to live. All Gods children coming together, In the precious name of Jesus, Yeshua , our Lord and Savior through the power of the Holy Spirit. So wonderful I just want to praise the Lord! Now I know why the angels sing all the time around the throne. Thank you for this study. I am grateful.
What people never heard about Andrew was that he preached to Parthia and managed to convert a dogman named hassum. This dogman eventually became as saint christopher.
Yes Brandon, Thank you for clarifying things so clearly. Its amazing how you are so knowlegeable. You dig deep into your studies and research so your students understand and take from it. Thank you from Samoan in New Zealand.
I haven't watched the movie 'The Chosen', but I find it troubling that it says that Peter finds creepy... that doesn't sound Scriptual... just saying...
Yeah that was funny. Especially when they do the fast forward of them telling Jamea' brother, John, their accounts and Peter still called JTB Creepy John lol
Brilliantly captured!! I always follow with my Bible...and make notes. You have a beautiful gift. Thank you Brandon for sharing the gift with us and explaining it so eloquently and for all of us to understand.
Yes Peter James and John were the closest buddies I thought. Well Andrew was Peter’s brother so I imagine he was close to Jesus too. Plus interesting is that Peter was married and somehow that must have had a lot to do with what he was up to when his younger brother was following John the Baptist! Very good teaching-Thank you! 🙏👍😃
Andrew, the First Chosen Andrew, chairman of the apostolic corps of the kingdom, was born in Capernaum. He was the oldest child in a family of five-himself, his brother Simon, and three sisters. His father, now dead, had been a partner of Zebedee in the fish-drying business at Bethsaida, the fishing harbor of Capernaum. When he became an apostle, Andrew was unmarried but made his home with his married brother, Simon Peter. Both were fishermen and partners of James and John the sons of Zebedee. In A.D. 26, the year he was chosen as an apostle, Andrew was 33, a full year older than Jesus and the oldest of the apostles. He sprang from an excellent line of ancestors and was the ablest man of the twelve. Excepting oratory, he was the peer of his associates in almost every imaginable ability. Jesus never gave Andrew a nickname, a fraternal designation. But even as the apostles soon began to call Jesus Master, so they also designated Andrew by a term the equivalent of Chief. Andrew was a good organizer but a better administrator. He was one of the inner circle of four apostles, but his appointment by Jesus as the head of the apostolic group made it necessary for him to remain on duty with his brethren while the other three enjoyed very close communion with the Master. To the very end Andrew remained dean of the apostolic corps. Although Andrew was never an effective preacher, he was an efficient personal worker, being the pioneer missionary of the kingdom in that, as the first chosen apostle, he immediately brought to Jesus his brother, Simon, who subsequently became one of the greatest preachers of the kingdom. Andrew was the chief supporter of Jesus’ policy of utilizing the program of personal work as a means of training the twelve as messengers of the kingdom. Whether Jesus privately taught the apostles or preached to the multitude, Andrew was usually conversant with what was going on; he was an understanding executive and an efficient administrator. He rendered a prompt decision on every matter brought to his notice unless he deemed the problem one beyond the domain of his authority, in which event he would take it straight to Jesus. Andrew and Peter were very unlike in character and temperament, but it must be recorded everlastingly to their credit that they got along together splendidly. Andrew was never jealous of Peter’s oratorical ability. Not often will an older man of Andrew’s type be observed exerting such a profound influence over a younger and talented brother. Andrew and Peter never seemed to be in the least jealous of each other’s abilities or achievements. Late on the evening of the day of Pentecost, when, largely through the energetic and inspiring preaching of Peter, two thousand souls were added to the kingdom, Andrew said to his brother: “I could not do that, but I am glad I have a brother who could.” To which Peter replied: “And but for your bringing me to the Master and by your steadfastness keeping me with him, I should not have been here to do this.” Andrew and Peter were the exceptions to the rule, proving that even brothers can live together peaceably and work together effectively. After Pentecost Peter was famous, but it never irritated the older Andrew to spend the rest of his life being introduced as “Simon Peter’s brother.” Of all the apostles, Andrew was the best judge of men. He knew that trouble was brewing in the heart of Judas Iscariot even when none of the others suspected that anything was wrong with their treasurer; but he told none of them his fears. Andrew’s great service to the kingdom was in advising Peter, James, and John concerning the choice of the first missionaries who were sent out to proclaim the gospel, and also in counseling these early leaders about the organization of the administrative affairs of the kingdom. Andrew had a great gift for discovering the hidden resources and latent talents of young people. Very soon after Jesus’ ascension on high, Andrew began the writing of a personal record of many of the sayings and doings of his departed Master. After Andrew’s death other copies of this private record were made and circulated freely among the early teachers of the Christian church. These informal notes of Andrew’s were subsequently edited, amended, altered, and added to until they made up a fairly consecutive narrative of the Master’s life on earth. The last of these few altered and amended copies was destroyed by fire at Alexandria about one hundred years after the original was written by the first chosen of the twelve apostles. Andrew was a man of clear insight, logical thought, and firm decision, whose great strength of character consisted in his superb stability. His temperamental handicap was his lack of enthusiasm; he many times failed to encourage his associates by judicious commendation. And this reticence to praise the worthy accomplishments of his friends grew out of his abhorrence of flattery and insincerity. Andrew was one of those all-round, even-tempered, self-made, and successful men of modest affairs. Every one of the apostles loved Jesus, but it remains true that each of the twelve was drawn toward him because of some certain trait of personality which made a special appeal to the individual apostle. Andrew admired Jesus because of his consistent sincerity, his unaffected dignity. When men once knew Jesus, they were possessed with the urge to share him with their friends; they really wanted all the world to know him. When the later persecutions finally scattered the apostles from Jerusalem, Andrew journeyed through Armenia, Asia Minor, and Macedonia and, after bringing many thousands into the kingdom, was finally apprehended and crucified in Patrae in Achaia. It was two full days before this robust man expired on the cross, and throughout these tragic hours he continued effectively to proclaim the glad tidings of the salvation of the kingdom of heaven.

Thank you so much Brandon for your wondrful teaching. You bring so much understanding & life to the precious scriptures - & I love the way you explain the background & the meaning of so many things, in such an interesting & easy to listen to way. I've been a Christian for most of my 76 years - but I'm learning so much from your teaching that's so interesting & meaningful. I've also started watching The Chosen, which I'm loving. I feel truly blessed. Bless you so much Brandon. I'm from New Zealand.
Thank you Brandon! I really needed this pray, I'm choosing Andrew to be my character in today's drama class, I didn't expect to have so much in common in the stuck part and truly follow Jesus! My heart had a pressure but now I know that when I truly follow Jesus, I'll get to know my real path with Him! So thank you so much! God bless you and your family! 💞
Thank you Brandon. I so appreciate the way you give the original meanings of some of the Bible's words. It helps me trust in His word more and more. Truth is so important, isn't it?
Perhaps Peter met his wife and fell in love...which is better? To follow your heart or to follow a man standing in a river? This was the dilemma faced by Peter and may have been the cause of his NOT going on to study further. As a fisherman, he was taught how to organize, run a business (he had far more than one boat and a rod), look after staff, inventory and maintenance. These are the qualities required in a leader of an organization...not what you need to build a faith. What you need for to build a faith was what John had, deep thinking and youth and vigor as had Andrew
That is a really good point about the implications of Andrew being a student (talmid) of John T. Baptist. Great points about Andrew. I had not looked at Andrew that way. Berachot,
I watch, appreciate and love all of your teachings Brandon, they so nourish the soul and make the scriptures live with greater & deeper understanding. May YHWH bless you richly!
YOU ARE SUCH A HARD WORKING PERSON. MANY TIMES WE MISS INTERPRET THE WORD. THANK YOU FOR REVEALING TO US THE TRUTH OF THE LIVING WORD. MAY THE WORD OF GOD DWELL RICHLY IN YOU SO THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS FOR THE WORLD🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏from India❤❤❤
brandon, you are such a blessing for many people around the world. since i hear your explanations, i can figure out so fascinating contexts and correlations. thank you so mauch, that you do not give up in your times of dessert. god bless you and your family and leave away all appeals of you. our holy god gives you strength and power for all your projects. greetings from the northern germany 🤗
I really appreciate your teaching… you are definitely anointed to teach. 😊 Some day could you explain how the Kings knew about the Star ⭐️ of Bethlehem ~ the timing; the constellation to find it; the Messiah, etc. I can’t find that info in the O.T.
Thank you for doing all the work you've done to know these things and then freely sharing them with us. God bless you 100-fold for all you give to Him, and may He make your ministry fruitful to the Glory of the One you serve - our Lord. Jesus Christ!
Brandon can you explain this and what it means by book of wars Numbers 21:14 KJV - Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Another excellent video! Nevertheless, there are questions to ask, right?! 🙂 NOTE: Refer to my comments on John the Baptist who Andrew was following as a disciple. Bake into that "disciple pie" the first century culture and worldview with regards to being a disciple. Assume that John was an Esseni Master (Teacher/Rabbi) and had disciples for this reason. Now: Speculate ... 1. Why is Andrew a disciple and Peter is not? What choices were made? By whom were they made? Were they family choices? Was it a matter of money or aptitude? Was Andrew older? 2. If Andrew was a disciple and-specifically-some sect of the Essenes, would he have also been sent out into the desert as a child? What did he give up? What did his family give up? 3. As a disciple, Andrew was already highly steeped in the Judaic view of being a disciple as were the people around him. Even Peter would have understood what was involved. Hence, later on, Peter speaks for the group of 12 and says, "Lord, we have left everything to follow you" and that was no lie or joke-they literally left everything. Therefore, what is the cultural and worldview interplay going on between John, Andrew, Peter, and others? 4. Andrew would already be on his way to being highly trained as a disciple. He was not a fledgling candidate (a two year stint for all who applied). Andrew would already be highly steeped in scripture. Following John would mean that with John's emphasis on preparing the way of the Messiah, this would have been baked into his training and in full view as Jesus crosses paths with John. 5. It is HIGHLY LIKELY that Jesus had been in public ministry for about a year prior to calling or receiving His first disciples. Therefore, all of these people may have had some knowledge or at least rumors. How does the year-long public ministry of Jesus prior to calling or having disciples play into Andrew and ultimately Peter? 6. If Andrew was highly trained as a disciple of John, then what does that do for Peter when Andrew pleads with him to come see Jesus and Peter is called by Jesus into the group? Does Andrew have long training and theological conversations with Peter in their off-hours, where Peter starts getting his neglected education in Torah in plain view of Jesus? The scriptures and gospels lead us to believe that this was in fact happening. What statements does Peter make that confirm this? Lots and lots and lots of questions. Now that I have asked them in this comment, I will press play on your video and see what you have to put into the pot. 🙂
Really enjoyed the breakdown/history/anthropolygics/philogy(greek, hebrew, aramaic, latin), John the Baptist living as he does, allows for a trust in the sense that he does not have to give lipservice to a patron because of support. Thus a freer uninhinibited message naturally comes forth as John the Baptist didn't recieve livelihood from any individuals, entities, or organizations.
Andrew was a fisherman, like his brother Simon Peter, but very unlike Peter. He was very shy and Peter was constantly rebuking him to come out of his shell. He quietly went about his business bringing sinners to Christ. He would often talk privately to Our Lord about such and such a person who wanted to see him, without any fuss, as he didn't want to take any credit for it. He never valued himself as much as the other apostles, therefore Jesus valued him much, due to his humility
Mi discípulo favorito y amado en la serie es Andrew y no sabía porque. No obstante ahora veo y entiendo porque si fue el que de alguna manera conocía a Jesús no se encontró en el prominente entre ellos.
With regard to Andrew's education ... Was John the Baptizer really a 'rabbi' in the traditional Jewish sense or just a rogue preacher in the wilderness? His life and the way he lived seemed to contradict the lives of other Jewish rabbis, so maybe he didn't require the formal education for his students, including Andrew. In fact, John the Baptizer seemed against the way the other traditional Pharisees and Sadducees lived. Also, Jesus didn't seem to require attending Beth Midrash, so maybe his cousin didn't either. Also, how was Andrew following the John the Baptizer and also fishing with Peter when Jesus calls him ... which was it? Did he live his life following John the Baptizer in the wilderness in imitation of him or did he live as a fisherman with Peter? If you say both, how is it that Andrew would not have left everything to be like John the Baptizer by living in the wilderness? I was always curious how that could be. Was he in the wilderness on the Sabbath and fishing the rest of the week? If so, then I don't see how he was truly living in imitation of John the Baptizer or essentially looking like him. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
You might find it interesting to check out some of the books by Ken Johnson. He translates the Dead Sea Scrolls. He believes that John the Baptist may have been raised in Qumran in the sect called the Essenes.
The disciples decided to follow the teacher and became teachers themselves. The main teacher is the Prince of Peace and no one else can carry that burdon.
It does, actually. And there’s a really amazing connection Mark makes to Peter being from Bethsaida in Mark 8. I highlight it in my Beyond the Words video on that chapter.
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry thanks! i am gonna finish Old Testament soon, then proceed to NT right away. your videos help alot. hope you can make overview videos to each book of old and new testament 😁
The names Andrew and Peter are not real names. They are Greek nomes de guerre. Andrew (= brave) for his bravery to be the first who abandoned everything in order to follow a young and unknown Rabbi, and Peter (= stone) for his strength of spirit and stability of character. John and Jacob were also called "boanerges" (= son of thunder) but they seem to retain their original names. Jesus himself carries two names: The one is Jesus and the other one, the often forgoten Emmanuel. The use of nomes de guerre is a well known tradition in criminal organizations as well as in esoteric brotherhoods. The nom de guerre represents a certain quality that characterizes the person who carries it, or the quality which this person wills to reach. The Christian Church has retained that tradition among the monks and the episcopes. Why were the names chosen in Greek though? And again. were they? And why the two brothers were the only ones that are known by their nomes de guerre among the apostles? Food for thought...
Jesus died on the cross so we can be forgiven for our sins so that we can repent and enjoy a relationship with God now and later, Jesus is maybe coming back soon!🙏
Hello Brandon this is lawpeace8 I love your videos your like me detail and specific too single grain sand moves in the desert. I'm not Christian not jew or any demonization. I wanted ask favor I am going give you my knowledge hopefully you respond me with best your ability brother. I dont belive in sin. Part that because word sin originated year 300 excuse for the execution of or savior yeshua. Also word gentile donesnt exist imo it was created around the 1844. By hebrew and German. I belive jews where created by god and gentiles accidentally too. The others evolved throught evolution and jews descendants gods creation. God said let it be anything possible on earth happen. Plants fish all creatures came about so can human evolution. So cain scared he be killed others. They are human evolution that god created. Jews bring blessings throught world by them adam and eve descendants. I got question. Early in creation why god bard us from heaven why he split earth and heaven. Why cast humany so far from him. I wish you respond me or make a video please. God dwells in heaven with the Angels who god also put above us. Yet here we are alone in world god decided live in heaven for the everlasting of humanity existence. Yet god rarely visited adam after he was created he was so alone he cried out of loneliness gave men women instead of staying like any father would. Thank you
Do you teach about the other gnostic books. What about the book of Enoch and so on? What about the very book that says Jesus killed people as a child? Or is this a channel that's strictly biased in its views.. I forgot to add, you have one interpretation out of thousands. How can a person know yours is the correct interpretation given we don't have the originals or even the copies of the originals ?
I like your stories, however, I don’t believe that Jesus was closer to one disciple vs another. We can all love people the same, but love them for their differences. Jesus had very special relationships with his disciples, but in different ways and they all seemed to have individual tasks that they did for Jesus. Such as Thomas that doubted. Jesus made a special appearance just so Thomas did not doubt anymore. Was it wrong for Thomas to doubt, not necessarily. In this day and age and in those times there are/were false prophets, rumors, gossip…fake news. The fact that Thomas did question and the Lord obliged him shows that it is ok to question. That was Thomas’ role and his lesson to us. Each of the disciples were special to Jesus because of the lessons they would later teach us. Even Judas, we learned that it will eat at your soul to betray others. And Andrew always did seem to have it more together, maybe his lesson to us was fluency and education.
Thank you, I became a follower aged 71, so no idea what He wants me to do, where He’s leading me. Thank you for your teaching. ❤️love from England
Welcome! What are your gifts? There you are. He wants you to use those gifts for the Kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven.🙏From USA
Amen. ALLLLL ages, Jesus says FOLLOW ME! Pray for the Father to use you as He has planned for you each morning !
God bless you Jacqui! My sister in Christ, I will pray for you, and we will meet someday. I'm too 🐔 to state my age. lol

What people never heard about Andrew was that he preached to Parthia and managed to convert a dogman named hassum. This dogman eventually became as saint christopher.
I love how you explain the Bible so that we can understand it thank you Brandon
Brandon, thank you for introducing us to Andrew in a more spiritual form.

The difference between Andrew and Peter's relationships with John TB are certainly hinted at in The Chosen. I love that Peter calls him Creepy John...
I haven't watched the movie 'The Chosen', but I find it troubling that it says that Peter finds creepy... that doesn't sound Scriptual... just saying...
@@ejeanroh377But so Peter he was harsh and not ashamed❤️. God needed him to be the rock for his church.
Right😂
@@ejeanroh377 Do you have the expectation that 100% of the apostles' actions and words are 'scriptural'?

Very good. Thank you for sharing. I always love the dedication to helping us understand the Bible.
Good sharing. Thanks alot 🌹🙏🙏🙏
Thank you🥰🙏
Brandon can you explain this and what it means by book of wars
Numbers 21:14 KJV - Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
There are several non-canonical books mentioned in the OT. The book of Jasher is another.
Another excellent video! Nevertheless, there are questions to ask, right?! 🙂
NOTE: Refer to my comments on John the Baptist who Andrew was following as a disciple. Bake into that "disciple pie" the first century culture and worldview with regards to being a disciple. Assume that John was an Esseni Master (Teacher/Rabbi) and had disciples for this reason. Now: Speculate ...
1. Why is Andrew a disciple and Peter is not? What choices were made? By whom were they made? Were they family choices? Was it a matter of money or aptitude? Was Andrew older?
2. If Andrew was a disciple and-specifically-some sect of the Essenes, would he have also been sent out into the desert as a child? What did he give up? What did his family give up?
3. As a disciple, Andrew was already highly steeped in the Judaic view of being a disciple as were the people around him. Even Peter would have understood what was involved. Hence, later on, Peter speaks for the group of 12 and says, "Lord, we have left everything to follow you" and that was no lie or joke-they literally left everything. Therefore, what is the cultural and worldview interplay going on between John, Andrew, Peter, and others?
4. Andrew would already be on his way to being highly trained as a disciple. He was not a fledgling candidate (a two year stint for all who applied). Andrew would already be highly steeped in scripture. Following John would mean that with John's emphasis on preparing the way of the Messiah, this would have been baked into his training and in full view as Jesus crosses paths with John.
5. It is HIGHLY LIKELY that Jesus had been in public ministry for about a year prior to calling or receiving His first disciples. Therefore, all of these people may have had some knowledge or at least rumors. How does the year-long public ministry of Jesus prior to calling or having disciples play into Andrew and ultimately Peter?
6. If Andrew was highly trained as a disciple of John, then what does that do for Peter when Andrew pleads with him to come see Jesus and Peter is called by Jesus into the group? Does Andrew have long training and theological conversations with Peter in their off-hours, where Peter starts getting his neglected education in Torah in plain view of Jesus? The scriptures and gospels lead us to believe that this was in fact happening. What statements does Peter make that confirm this?
Lots and lots and lots of questions. Now that I have asked them in this comment, I will press play on your video and see what you have to put into the pot. 🙂
I cannot give this video enough thumbs-up! I regret that I have but one thumbs-up to give for this video! 🙂
Really enjoyed the breakdown/history/anthropolygics/philogy(greek, hebrew, aramaic, latin), John the Baptist living as he does, allows for a trust in the sense that he does not have to give lipservice to a patron because of support. Thus a freer uninhinibited message naturally comes forth as John the Baptist didn't recieve livelihood from any individuals, entities, or organizations.
This is fire! I subscribed and liked. Keep them coming!
Good job. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful teaching. What do you think of the Acts of Andrew? And other works with him in it hidden from us
Andrew was a fisherman, like his brother Simon Peter, but very unlike Peter.
He was very shy and Peter was constantly rebuking him to come out of his shell. He quietly went about his business bringing sinners to Christ. He would often talk privately to Our Lord about such and such a person who wanted to see him, without any fuss, as he didn't want to take any credit for it.
He never valued himself as much as the other apostles, therefore Jesus valued him much, due to his humility
Interesting hidden gems about Andrew and culture of that time
supper excellent
Thank you.
Thank you
Showing this one to my husband!

Mi discípulo favorito y amado en la serie es Andrew y no sabía porque. No obstante ahora veo y entiendo porque si fue el que de alguna manera conocía a Jesús no se encontró en el prominente entre ellos.
#7 for Andrew, his remains are located in Patras, Greece. He was crucified there in the shape of an X.
With regard to Andrew's education ...
Was John the Baptizer really a 'rabbi' in the traditional Jewish sense or just a rogue preacher in the wilderness? His life and the way he lived seemed to contradict the lives of other Jewish rabbis, so maybe he didn't require the formal education for his students, including Andrew. In fact, John the Baptizer seemed against the way the other traditional Pharisees and Sadducees lived. Also, Jesus didn't seem to require attending Beth Midrash, so maybe his cousin didn't either.
Also, how was Andrew following the John the Baptizer and also fishing with Peter when Jesus calls him ... which was it? Did he live his life following John the Baptizer in the wilderness in imitation of him or did he live as a fisherman with Peter? If you say both, how is it that Andrew would not have left everything to be like John the Baptizer by living in the wilderness? I was always curious how that could be. Was he in the wilderness on the Sabbath and fishing the rest of the week? If so, then I don't see how he was truly living in imitation of John the Baptizer or essentially looking like him. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
You might find it interesting to check out some of the books by Ken Johnson. He translates the Dead Sea Scrolls. He believes that John the Baptist may have been raised in Qumran in the sect called the Essenes.
Because he was also a prophet and the one who was a forerunner voice calling out in the wilderness
I love my name ❤
Hi. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thank you for this teaching. Doesn't the bible say that John the Baptizer was attractive?
Come to the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Churches the Apostles established still exist.

Was Jesus speaking Hebrew or Aramaic?
I heard in different sermons that He spoke aramic. But He understud also hebrew ( the old hebrew from then ) from His Bibel studies .
Was his name Andrew ( Andreas, Andree, Andreus..........) , it sounds to me a greek name. What would have need his hebrew name?
The disciples decided to follow the teacher and became teachers themselves. The main teacher is the Prince of Peace and no one else can carry that burdon.
Andrew went hard
Is John the Baptist, Jesus cousin ..His life history in the Holy Bible?
John was not considered a rabbi by the other rabbis. So probably John's disciples were the many who chose to be John's followers!
Does that mean Peter was also from Bethsaida?
It does, actually. And there’s a really amazing connection Mark makes to Peter being from Bethsaida in Mark 8. I highlight it in my Beyond the Words video on that chapter.
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry thanks! i am gonna finish Old Testament soon, then proceed to NT right away. your videos help alot. hope you can make overview videos to each book of old and new testament 😁
Was Andrew in Qumran like John the Baptist
So, John the Baptist was also a rabbi...?
You said in the opening that Andrew looked like John….? But you never said how or why?
Because he declared the Messiah, and was just like his first master, John the Baptist, as he explained throughout
The names Andrew and Peter are not real names. They are Greek nomes de guerre. Andrew (= brave) for his bravery to be the first who abandoned everything in order to follow a young and unknown Rabbi, and Peter (= stone) for his strength of spirit and stability of character. John and Jacob were also called "boanerges" (= son of thunder) but they seem to retain their original names.
Jesus himself carries two names: The one is Jesus and the other one, the often forgoten Emmanuel.
The use of nomes de guerre is a well known tradition in criminal organizations as well as in esoteric brotherhoods. The nom de guerre represents a certain quality that characterizes the person who carries it, or the quality which this person wills to reach. The Christian Church has retained that tradition among the monks and the episcopes.
Why were the names chosen in Greek though? And again. were they? And why the two brothers were the only ones that are known by their nomes de guerre among the apostles? Food for thought...
After Andrew and Simon catched lots of fish, Jesus asked big James and John follow him Also
TMH said this is spiritual not just blood kin.
👍👍
I wonder if Andrew left John and returned home because John was imprisoned?
But, was John a conventional rabbi?
He was the first disciple called by Jesus....
I am just like Andrew...
Jesus died on the cross so we can be forgiven for our sins so that we can repent and enjoy a relationship with God now and later, Jesus is maybe coming back soon!🙏
Hello Brandon this is lawpeace8 I love your videos your like me detail and specific too single grain sand moves in the desert. I'm not Christian not jew or any demonization. I wanted ask favor I am going give you my knowledge hopefully you respond me with best your ability brother. I dont belive in sin. Part that because word sin originated year 300 excuse for the execution of or savior yeshua. Also word gentile donesnt exist imo it was created around the 1844. By hebrew and German. I belive jews where created by god and gentiles accidentally too. The others evolved throught evolution and jews descendants gods creation. God said let it be anything possible on earth happen. Plants fish all creatures came about so can human evolution. So cain scared he be killed others. They are human evolution that god created. Jews bring blessings throught world by them adam and eve descendants. I got question. Early in creation why god bard us from heaven why he split earth and heaven. Why cast humany so far from him. I wish you respond me or make a video please. God dwells in heaven with the Angels who god also put above us. Yet here we are alone in world god decided live in heaven for the everlasting of humanity existence. Yet god rarely visited adam after he was created he was so alone he cried out of loneliness gave men women instead of staying like any father would. Thank you
Do you teach about the other gnostic books. What about the book of Enoch and so on?
What about the very book that says Jesus killed people as a child?
Or is this a channel that's strictly biased in its views..
I forgot to add, you have one interpretation out of thousands. How can a person know yours is the correct interpretation given we don't have the originals or even the copies of the originals ?

I like your stories, however, I don’t believe that Jesus was closer to one disciple vs another. We can all love people the same, but love them for their differences. Jesus had very special relationships with his disciples, but in different ways and they all seemed to have individual tasks that they did for Jesus. Such as Thomas that doubted. Jesus made a special appearance just so Thomas did not doubt anymore. Was it wrong for Thomas to doubt, not necessarily. In this day and age and in those times there are/were false prophets, rumors, gossip…fake news. The fact that Thomas did question and the Lord obliged him shows that it is ok to question. That was Thomas’ role and his lesson to us. Each of the disciples were special to Jesus because of the lessons they would later teach us. Even Judas, we learned that it will eat at your soul to betray others. And Andrew always did seem to have it more together, maybe his lesson to us was fluency and education.
