- When you read Scripture, it's easy to forget that it was written thousands of years ago, to people in a very different situation than our own. However, if we can understand the world Jesus was a part of, we can understand just how revolutionary he was, and why he matters today.
If you appreciate this discussion, you will want to know more about Prof. Wright's new course, 'Knowing God in the Created World', available HERE: www.udemy.com/course/knowing-...
KNOWING GOD IN THE CREATED WORLD. AVAILABLE NOW
For hundreds of years, people have wondered what we can know about God based on the evidence of the world in which we live. Theologians and philosophers have pondered this question under the name of Natural Theology, with greater or lesser success.
Prof. N.T. Wright asserts that to answer this question with fidelity requires putting Jesus back in the middle of the question. The line of thought explored in this course seeks to do just that, through a thoroughgoing investigation into modern Western attitudes about history and its validity as a domain of inquiry.
The result being that in learning something about God we might also learn a thing or two about our knowledge of the natural world, and about the nature of our knowledge.

It is so good to be reminded of those marvellous adjectives focusing on the nature of our wonderful God. It is so important, also, to be reminded that the proper response is rending our hearts - something that isn’t an outward show of penitence for the way we constantly fail to follow God’s will. I really think that, as anglicans, this Lent should be a time for us to weigh up how we are failing God in the way we are going.
YES!! I'm so glad you address the 1st century goings on & mentality. In 1983 I could not find a church in NC like my home church in FL so I decided to study with my friend & the Holy Spirit alone. I got Wyclifde Biblical Encyclopedia & Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the KJV and went at it!! EYE OPENER!! It is so true that the Holy Spirit teaches us ALL things because even today God is reaffirming what He taught ... even through you sir!! I looked at it as finding the golden egg ... a treasure hunt! Riches beyond compare when you account the time in which events happened. I believe that is why God gifted me with your teachings. Thank you sir!! Keep on keeping on dude!! 😆😄😅💖💖 have a blessed day ..... you blessed mine.
Always a blessing to see your responses here, Sherry!
I love how you called N. T. Wright "dude!"

"In the fulness of time, he sent forth his son..." that is to say, when things were really messy.
Who is this person Tom is conversing with? I don't completely understand the context of these chats.
Hi Glen. Good question. That's Arian, she runs our Instagram account and helps with the filming of our RUclips videos. And These are clips from a longer conversation we had with Prof. Wright a while back. A hodgepodge of questions, so I understand how the decontextualised clips might be a bit confusing. Glad you're here!
@@NTWrightOnline Thank you very much. That is very helpful!
i'm sure he would have said go get your booster
Jesus is a fictional character.
Then why are you even wasting your time on here.

I condemn ritual human sacrifice, rape, and cannibalism; Christians literally worship them and their savior is a zombie (an undead corporeal revenant created through the reanimation of a corpse).
Ritual Human Sacrifice-
God sent one of his sons to be tortured and killed as a sacrificial offering (a practice adopted from Paganism).
Christians worship a father who sent one of his sons to be tortured and executed (and literally called it as a sacrifice) as part of a ritual intended to appease a god (in Christian theology, atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sin through the death by crucifixion of Jesus).
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son."
1 John 4:10
"This is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
Romans 8:32
"He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all."
1 Corinthians 5:7
"Christ our passover is sacrificed for us."
Romans 3:25
"God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement."
Romans 5:8
"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Hebrews 10:10
"We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

Rape-
God raped ("overshadowed") Mary while she was engaged to Joseph and while God was married to Asherah, Aholah and Aholibah (who were sisters). God's sons also "ravished" human females and impregnated them.
God sent one of his representatives to tell Mary (who was between ages 12 and 14 at the time), that even though she was engaged to Joseph and frightened by the encounter, that God would impregnate her. A child cannot consent to pregnancy by an authority figure.
The Bible uses the word "overshadow", which is the Greek word, "επισκιάζω" (episkiazó). Some Christians interpret "overshadow" to mean that some sort of mystical cloud or divine wind hovered over Mary and then she became pregnant. But the literal translation of the word is, "to overshadow, to use influence upon by a looming presence (skiá)" and figuratively means "to invest with preternatural (extraordinary, exceeding what is normal) influence". So, the "overshadowing" was God using what the Bible describes as the "extraordinary" coercion of his greater power and status to dominate and overpower Mary's desires and will by forcing his own desire to force unwanted sexual contact from frightened Mary with the intent of impregnating her.
The word Mary uses to accept the command to be impregnated is "ginomai", which means "let it not be, far be it from, God forbid".
In Mary's praise and thanksgiving to God in Luke 1:48 she says, “God has lifted up his humble maidservant.” The Greek word for “humble” is the same one that the Septuagint (the old Greek version of the Hebrew Bible) uses to describe the rape of Dinah in Genesis and other incidents of sexual violation.

Cannibalism is an integral part of Christianity-
John 6:53
"Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever gnaws my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can accept it?" From this time, many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him."

If you have evidence that the Bible figure known as Jesus existed, provide it.
However, it is an absolute fact that there is literally no contemporaneous evidence that Jesus ever existed.
Shouldn't we expect that if God was walking around for thirty years that the locals would have noticed?
Fun fact: none of the Gospel authors witnessed Jesus.
Ah, then he is one written by a masterful hand.

The only Bible author who claimed to have seen Jesus is Paul who asserted he met him in a vision and described him as being a bright light. Paul actually stated that his sources were non-human, "...the gospel I preached is not of human origin." (Galatians 1:11-12).
The Jesus story began in 48 AD with the first of the Pauline Epistles (which comprise nearly half of the New Testament books) when Paul realized the Daniel 9:25 prophesy of a messiah expired without fulfilling so he made one up decades later and set the story decades in the past to make the prophesy seem true.
The fulfillment of the Daniel 9:25 prophecy written in 444 BC was the test of the true messiah. By 48 AD it was known that the prophecy of a messiah coming in "seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" had not occurred on the prophesied date.
"Seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" is, 7 plus 60 plus 2 equals 69 total weeks. One prophetic week equals seven biblical years of 360 days (the Julian calendar was created centuries later), so 7 times 69 equals 483 total biblical years beginning with Artaxerxes' decree in 444 BC. Those 483 biblical years equal 173,880 days, or 476 Julian years. Therefore the Messiah would come and be "cut off" in AD 33. One prophetic week equaling seven Biblical years is something “Daniel” invented in about 165 BC, effectively an admission that Jeremiah 25:11-12 failed.
Paul made up the entire Jesus story and added historical figures, locations, and events to add authenticity.
Paul's goal was to garner support for the insurrection against the Romans which began in 46 AD led by two brothers, Jacob and Simon, in the Judea province. The revolt, mainly in the Galilee, began as sporadic insurgency until it climaxed in 48 AD when it was quickly put down by Roman authorities. Both Simon and Jacob were executed.
He created the fiction of having witnessed the risen messiah. He wanted to show that the messiah had come as prophesied but was murdered by the Romans. This was to entice the Gentiles to aid in the Jews' rebellion against the Romans.
Instead, he created one of the world's most popular religions that is based on the literal worship of ritual human sacrifice, rape, and cannibalism.
The Gospel authors copied, and embellished, Paul's fiction. None of the Gospel authors, or any other writers, were witnesses to the Bible figure known as Jesus.
