I remember being TERRIFIED as a kid when I heard of the gospel according to Peter. I was raised thinking that Elohim has magickally preserved the bible, so the existence of a text which claimed to be holy but wasn’t in the bible made me question how we really knew the books actually in the bible were holy. It was a scary time for a 9 year old
Have you watched Trey the Explainers “Changes to the Bible” miniseries? He expressed many similar feelings to what you have written and were really chill about it
@@UnironicallyToast actually, yeah I have. He’s super good at what he does. I really liked his stuff on the nephilim and Lilith. But also, the first time in like 6 months I clicked a trey the explainer video happened to be the moment I saw your comment telling me to watch him lol. That was a really weird coincidence
Exactly The correct term is deuterocanonical. Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, 1 & 2 Maccabees have been in the Bible since conception. Only Protestants have the Luther Canon which removed Scripture from the Bible. That said, the fact Irenaeus, disciple of Polycarp, disciple of John, disciple of Jesus Christ, is mentioned, and pronounced correctly, I give the film maker a pass on the Apocrypha confusion.
@@harryallenpearce89 The term apocrypha was applied to the books by Jerome who died in AD420. He insisted that they were not scripture and did not want to include them in the Vulgate but was overruled. The disputation on these books does not originate with the reformation.
Dus Wil Jerome quoted those writings as Scripture later. You left that part out. And it was Martin Luther that moved those books to the center and titled the Apocrypha, declaring them to not be Scripture. Both Jerome and Luther were referring back to the Council of Jamnia. Not only was the Deuterocanonical books left out, Jesus Christ was also rejected as Messiah, and all NT writings were rejected. In Jerome’s defense, he didn’t know that canonization happened AFTER the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is why Jerome changed his opinion later, quoting those writings. Martin Luther doesn’t have that excuse.
This is really interesting to me because in middle school I had a kid from Ethiopia in my class who's name was Enoch (he insisted everyone call him Mr. Enoch) and now that I'm learning that the Ethiopian church consideres the book of Enoch canon and is responsible for preserving it. Neat.
I saw Apocrypha and automatically thought "Hermaeus Mora?" I would really like to have a Bible with every single book nothing cut out I want the real book
I mean as a commenter put it, the bible is literally just a bunch of fanfiction and eventually some people decided what was canon and what isn't. The bible is already a mess of plotholes and continuity errors in it of itself, but adding the other books would make it into an ungodly and impossible to understand amalgamation of weird stories. It would be cool to have a complete bible for historical purposes, but seeing how religious people put the bible on such a high pedestal, they probably wouldn't take a complete bible seriously and they'd say that it's blasphemy or something weird like that.
That would be a long ass series. Shepherd of Hermas, 1st and 2nd apocalypses of Peter, 2nd and 3rd apocalypses of John, Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Thomas, Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Those are just the ones that pop into my head from recent memory, I agree it'd be sick, but to do it justice he'd need to consult relevant scholars with respect to apocrypha, like John J. Collins for example. If he did that, I think it could be a gem of a series.
I'm neither religious or someone who studies the Bible, but I find your videos fascinating from a historical point of view - how things come to take on the meaning and identity we give them now, and how the Bible has been put together through numerous component books and authors into how we know it today... Your tone and presentation is informative and well balanced to enable a layman like myself to learn, and provides plenty of food for thought. Many thanks for your hard work and efforts.
The fact you don’t have 5 million subscribers is insane. You provide such informational videos that are presented perfectly and all of the information is so interesting and delivered in an engaging format.
Also, I want to say. I really do like your content. Its production quality is amazing. I especially like the mythology videos, because I can't find any others like it. Keep it up man!
@@estebanm8394 Ya, probably, but then I bet another religion will come along once we discover some weird star formation and people will think it's some great chaos god and get on their knees and start worshiping it.

@@TomorrowWeLive New Age Christianity is the religion as a system and practiced today. It really strays from core principles, and many sects of NAC still follow the old testament and its punishments. Too many people today claim to be Christian, and use it as a scape goat to hate people.
@@makotomachiyuki Sorry to break it to you but the bible was written by humans. Humans from thousands of years ago whose knowledge was incredibly limited compared to all that we know now.
I wish I could remember the name of the documentary that basically said that Judas was the only one to actually understand the message Jesus was trying to explain....
as a Catholic I just want to say that this was a good video, thank you for not dissing anyone's faith and keeping the 3rd person view throughout the video. I learned some new things too and I did want to say that you got a lot of information correct on the Catholic Bible, keep up the great work
I would love to here more about the book of Judas. I never heard of the book, but considering what Judas did, it would make sense for his book to change the image of Jesus.
It would change the image of both Jesus and Judas. I imagine that it says that "the betrayal" was actually part of the Plan, because how could it not have been?
@@straightupanarg6226 it’s a gnostic gospel and gnostics believe that a human could get a higher power of salvation the gospel is about some false conversations about Jesus and Judas were Jesus tells Judas that’s above them all and that he even could get Jesus place on the cross you see how it’s gnostic now? The cannonical gospels tells us that Judas died by suicide and the gnostic gospel of Judas says that he was stoned to death by the 11 disciples
It's definitely made up. It literally says Jesus lied about everything and he will only tell Judas the truth. It's also written in the third century, hundreds of years after Judas's suicide.
U can easily find the enoch book i got one.It talks about the nature or nephilims and how the world works.Its actually the first book that says earth is sphere and says how seasons works.
Enoch is interesting. I really, REALLY don't recommend looking into the Gnostic gospels. They're deeply occultic, and it'll be a test for your soul if you go down that route.
Would love to see a breakdown of the book of Jasher, or the Book of (Adam&)Eve. Jasher is a particular favourite of mine and very elucidating, in the context of such.
Personally I found the First Book of Adam and Eve kinda funny. It really paints the picture of a parent and child relationship between God and Adam and Eve.
Ur channel and specifically this video, in a strange way made me develop a profound curiosity for the bible. I've been a Christian for a long time, but this showed to me how much knowledge of the context of those times you must have to really comprehend what's written and how interesting it can be.
I was really craving for more detailed explanations or possible interpretations of each book as you were presenting them. So my answer to your last question: I want every book in detail!
@@davidtilley354 it goes into the nature of god and what god is in the esoteric metaphysical sense. Like how it describes life as an endless cycle of torture and that the only way to go towards the greater heaven is to reach some form of understanding.
@yes'nt Yeah, The god that Christians worship today is an evil and manipulative one and the true god doesn't want to be worshipped. All he wants is for mankind to reach deep understanding of the soul, the universe and the collective experience. The heavens and earth is actually hell. It's not where the true god resides. The true god wants mankind to break it's cycle of life, death, Reincarnation and enter his domain where the greater reality awaits. That's really what Jesus tried to convey judas.
This channel and Trey the Explainer are some of the best content on YT and seeing as how Trey was my previous favorite channel dealing with stuff like this that's high praise
What most people do not consider is that "The Bible" was translated into the Latin language at a certain time, in a certain place and by a certain people. Not only was it translated, it was cobbled together from many separate items in different languages, from diverse lands and eras. Effectively, "The Bible" was created, by selecting and editing certain scriptures in certain ways. Had some decisions been made differently, we could have ended up with a completely different bible, and some completely different religions as well. But as it is, the creation process of this book was full of opportunities for things to go wrong. The decision to produce a single book may have been a mistake in itself.
Only in the West. We use the Septuagint only which is Greek, written in Greek from before the time of Jesus. The New Testament was also written in Greek.
@@Tsalagi978 Fascinating. And to think I always assumed the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, but today I have learned those ancient sheep herders were literate in Greek. Truly miraculous. Thank you for this wisdom.
my math teacher taught me about stuff like this. he said they had a lot of them in Vatican city.also this is probably my favorite channel. some of the most interesting stuff ive seen on youtube.
It's not about "doing it wrong". It's about what benefits they will gain, remove the parts that are not for their benefits, so that the vatican has the highest power globally.
You do a great job of explaining succinctly and clearly and making rather tedious (yet curious) topics plainly understood thanks for doing it and enlightening us while saving us so much time!
Just finished my last exams and this was my dessert!! Wonderful job as always, I absolutely love the background music you put on these. I also like that you are making this more interactive with us. I can't decide between both of the books, so I'm going to flow with the majority
The book of Enoch always comes up in Ancient Aliens, always connecting the fallen angels as extraterrestrials. And history did one in the Gospel of Judas, really interesting and spiritual content. It would be great hear your take on these two books. Love this channel!

Just look around Giueppe,,, you couldn't possibly have m8ssed it, you where probably just preoccupied with important life troubles & overlooked it until now
Ah , yes Apocrypha. The book that contains the knowledge on how to beat an ancient Dragonborn and the MC is a tentacle monster. If you get this reference, you are a true hero.
I found your channel a day ago and spent the last couple hours binging your videos! You're a great creator. Very interesting. Maybe you could do a video about how certain "Christian" holidays were originally Pagan and the origins thereof? I wish you the best, and you're a wonderfully intriguing creator :)
The Gospel of Mary please. As hers is the only time I have ever been told about a female point of perspective! All of these books and there, fairly, untold stories are fascinating to me!! Good work again!
I'm really sorry about this, but this "gospel" is heresy. It was written in the third century, completely contradicts both the Old and New Testaments and was definitely made up by the author. Gnostics had a habit of taking random characters from the Bible and having Jesus tell them the "actual truth". The most common were Mary Magdalene and Judas.
I read the book of Enoch once (a long time ago) and the most remarkable stuff I remember is that he basically talked about evolution of species, and that there was something called "The Rage " (or idk, I read it in Spanish) that seemed to be above Satan; Satan talks to it and such and kinda does what it says. Or maybe I just had a crazy dream like John lol. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I read that stuff.
Sometimes that kind of memory is given to you by a messenger. That's what your memory sounds like. It's confusing to explain. People are shown things, they know they saw it or heard it or whatever but can't exactly remember how. Dream visions are cool too. You have to be careful about who the messenger is though. The fallen angels did this to me as a child. I saw truth through their eyes. It's not meant for humans to understand. I have biblical strength nightmares coming true these days and its not the way I expected at all. Like the giants that would chase me. I was scared sh.. to fall asleep every single night. It's real but I'm not going to be chased like they wanted me to think.
Looking forward to season 2! Would really be interested in hearing more about Gnostic Christians, since they seem to be really unorthodox an interesting. I would like to hear your take on the myth of Yaldabaoth and the Demiurge. I also think it'd be interesting to here your take on William Blake and his art/poetry regarding the Red Dragon, Urizen, etc.
David fed the dragon so much that it exploded? Hmm I'm getting the old polish legend vibe when ,,Szewczyk Dratewka" or ,,Shoemaker Dratewka" made a fake sheep filled with sulfur as bait to a dragon that was ruining his kings castle, the dragon ate the sheep and he started to feel thirsty, he proceeded to drink the water from the river nearby, he was constantly drinking the water and then there was a very loud noise coming from the place where he was drinking the water. He drank so much that he exploded
@@PeaceToTheUniverse wym people are dying for something they think is real so obviously there's at least some chance it's not real because there's no proof. There's also no proof that the "word of God" has been spoken, only people whom have claimed to have heard it
@@PeaceToTheUniverse but you said this is not fiction. These books are not Christian canon and you can't believe in them. To you they are fiction. There is no evidence that the word he spoke was truth. In fact there is no evidence he even said half the stuff he is claimed to. Historically they only verifiable fact about Jesus was that he existed and people followed him, the rest could be hog wash.
But for Christians they don’t believe in those books because they are so far after the original books and are written with unknown authors they were deemed non canon to most theologians. I also believe they are non canon due to how long they came after the other books and by their authors
@@Arelius_02 many of the so called “apocryphal” were always part of Christianity because they were part of Judaism during Jesus' time. Some books like Maccabees do take place after, but that's because there's a period of centuries between the Old and New Testament in Protestant Bibles were nothing happens, Catholic and Orthodox Bibles fill this void, and these more historical focused books are no different than Chronicles for example, no real reason to exclude them.
@@adrian7856 yea their is because during Maliki the Old Testament was completed n anything between him and Jesus is non biblically cannon because the Old Testament was complete and anything after or during Jesus is the New Testament adding false books after the Old Testament is wrong an shouldn’t be put inside of the Bible the Jews didn’t except them themselves and in the Dead Sea scrolls none of those books where added because they weren’t expected because those books contradict other books of the Old Testament or show false beliefs
@@Arelius_02 You are wrong, there are literal books of the Dead Sea Scrolls like Sirach, Tobit and Baruch not found in Protestant Bibles or Jewish Tanakh, but they are found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. And who's Maliki?
@@adrian7856 sorry I meant Malachi stupid iPhone autocorrect who was the last of the minor prophets and is the last book of the Old Testament those apocrypha do not correlate with the rest of the Old Testament maccabees states you may pray for the dead while the Bible states Deuteronomy 18:9-12 states a consulter with familiar sports, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the lord Jews believed that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself and doesn’t have any contradictions inside of it either but adding those non biblical canon text contradicts the Bible after Malachi the Old Testament was complete and finished anything after between him and Jesus’s time is non canon because once Jesus is born the New Testament starts leaving no room for any other false texts
Obviously your just making it up to sound erudite it you really wanted to know about Adam an Eve n Lilith before translations you would be you would be doing the searches on Google and in Greek or mebbe Hebrew. All english discussions of these manuscripts are by definition translations whut a maroon.
Something I have always wondered is that is the apocrypha merely inconsistent accounts left out of the original Bible or are they accounts left out because the church couldn't use them to exercise their authority?
The Apocryphal books are only called that by protestants, they're canonical to Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. The Gnostic gospels are a different group of books which were excluded because they were, in fact, the secret property of certain christian groups. They weren't included in the Bible because they weren't common knowledge.
When we're talking about the Old Testament apocrypha, we have a bit of a problem. The person in the video is using wrong terminology, the books like Tobit, Judith and 1 and 2 Maccabees were in the Bible since 300 BC, but Luther thought they were made up stories, so protestants don't have them, but both the catholic and orthodox churches treat them like any other books. That's why they are called deuterocanonical books, not apocrypha. The real Old Testament apocrypha like Enoch or Jubilees are just books written by Bible scholars that were never really aiming to be in the Bible, they were just interesting teachings claiming to be written by some important Old Testament character to be more popular. So those were either obviously not trying to be in the Bible or they were gotten rid of by Luther. When it comes to New Testament apocrypha, the great majority are already too new to be in the Bible, being fifth-or-more-hand accounts of Jesus's life. Out of these you have those that simply collect tradition of questionable origin (Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, Acts of Peter), those that are made up "fanfiction" (Acts of Paul and Thecla, Infancy Gospel of James, Questions of Bartholomew) and those made up by gnostics (Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas) that all follow a single theme: a person Jesus knew is told the "actual truth" by him, the apostles don't believe them and so the gnostics are better because all of Jesus's teachings were fake and only that one person was told the truth and only they know it. They are so obviously fake it's absurd. None of those three types of New Testament apocrypha were trustworthy enough to be put in the Bible. And then there are just some letters by early scholars and popes that easily could have been in the Bible but people just decided that they were just written too late. Nothing controversial about them, they just had to draw the line somewhere. So no, no books were excluded because christians didn't like them.
3:30 that story reminded me of polish Dragon of Wawel. The dragon was reigning terror over farmers and shepherds, so a shoemaker made a fakeout sheep, full of sulfur and pitch. After eating the sheep, the dragon got really thirsty and drank so much water it exploded. Maybe the polish legend was based off of this one?

Hey, hey, I just subscribed!!! Just interacting with your page here. Seriously, I’m so glad I ran across your channel. I was raised southern Baptist, am now atheist, and am absolutely obsessed with Christian and Jewish religious studies. All religious studies, really. Anyhoo, I fucking love this, keep up the good work!!!
I've just stumbled across your channel. I'm not entirely sure how. LOL RUclips is funny that way. But I wanted to thank you. This is exactly the kind of study I wanted to do when I was young, back before I gave up thoughts of the seminary to become a heathen. Reaching both into the original texts instead of our modern (mis)translations, as well as exciting new discoveries back then like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the books we hadn't heard about in mainstream, there was a lot to find fascinating for a teen diving deep enough to question everything about life, faith included, which started my research into all religions, not just Christianity. So this channel is both heart-warming nostalgia and just as intriguing today. Thanks! I wish more scholars would delve deep into these origins. Religion is a lot more interesting than churches give it credit for. LOL
It might sound strange, but the Wikipedia articles are actually very thorough with the subject -- for example, the page for the Great Schism of 1054 (Catholic-Orthodox) is longer than the one for Hitler. Keep in mind that every source you read will be biased in some way. It sounds like you're probably Protestant -- but most of the (reliable) sources for early Christianity are Catholic or Orthodox. Secular history can only get you so far since there's an unbroken tradition of writings passed on from the Apostles to the current Pope and Patriarchs. Those Church Fathers -- Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Irenaeus, Chrysostom, Augustine -- are theologians in their own right and (in my opinion) should be at least respected by all denominations. If you've read the New Testament already, I'd recommend starting here if you want to learn about the Early Church (until 120AD): List of Church Fathers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Fathers The Didache (early Christian writing, ~60AD): www.earlychristianwritings.com/didache.html Portal for writings of the Church Fathers (Catholic source, some Protestant ones available for sale under the name "ante-Nicene fathers" but it's basically the same): www.newadvent.org/fathers/ From there, you can Ctrl+F the seven epistles of Ignatius of Antioch (early 2nd century), Clement of Rome's First Epistle (70 or 96AD), Polycarp's Epistle to the Philippians (mid-2nd century), Irenaeus' Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies, 180AD), and Eusebius' Church History (310s AD). Just make sure before you read something to make sure that it's genuine (not apocryphal). If you're just looking for Protestant history, here's a TL;DR for all of the Wikipedia pages: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christianity_major_branches.svg There are too many Protestant denominations to list in a RUclips comment, so for each individual history I'd recommend looking up each one independently. Also, I'm sorry to any Restorationists or "Church in the Wilderness Baptists" out there, but your church's founding date is probably in the 19th-20th centuries, not in the 1st. Only the Catholic and Orthodox Churches have that claim. You can't magically not have the Church from the end of the 1st century to whenever your group was founded.
I see you have done this video on the Protestant Bible, not the earlier canon that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches have as their core. This canon includes books such as Tobit, Judith, the addition of Bel and the Dragon to Daniel in chapter 14, etc. I just wanted to let everyone know not all of these are truly excluded from the Bible, it all depends on whether you have the Bible with the earlier canon, or the Bible with the canon following Martin Luther and other Protestant leaders removing some books from the official canon, subsequently moving them into a secondary canon called the Apocrypha, and eventually removing them altogether.

Your tone and presentation is informative and well balanced to enable a layman like myself to learn, and provides plenty of food for thought. Many thanks for your hard work and efforts.

The Gospel of Judas sounds exciting
Not sure if you're aware of it but I refer you to the episodes of Red Dwarf called Waiting for God and Lemons.
I have read it & the main idea was that judas knew what he was doing was fulfilling the prophecy made by god & that he did it because of that
I wish I could remember the name of the documentary that basically said that Judas was the only one to actually understand the message Jesus was trying to explain....
@@phoneboxchicken4108 that was an awesome episode!
@@jefferygoldmann2643 so basically Judas is an misunderstood Hero or something
as a Catholic I just want to say that this was a good video, thank you for not dissing anyone's faith and keeping the 3rd person view throughout the video. I learned some new things too and I did want to say that you got a lot of information correct on the Catholic Bible, keep up the great work
I would love to here more about the book of Judas. I never heard of the book, but considering what Judas did, it would make sense for his book to change the image of Jesus.
It would change the image of both Jesus and Judas. I imagine that it says that "the betrayal" was actually part of the Plan, because how could it not have been?
@@straightupanarg6226 it’s a gnostic gospel and gnostics believe that a human could get a higher power of salvation the gospel is about some false conversations about Jesus and Judas were Jesus tells Judas that’s above them all and that he even could get Jesus place on the cross you see how it’s gnostic now? The cannonical gospels tells us that Judas died by suicide and the gnostic gospel of Judas says that he was stoned to death by the 11 disciples
I would care not, what the traitor has to contribute,
@@jacobsien1078 litterally written like 200 years after Judas died by gnostic people
It's definitely made up. It literally says Jesus lied about everything and he will only tell Judas the truth. It's also written in the third century, hundreds of years after Judas's suicide.
Would love to hear more on Enoch, Judas seems like a meaty topic as well however.
U can easily find the enoch book i got one.It talks about the nature or nephilims and how the world works.Its actually the first book that says earth is sphere and says how seasons works.
Enoch is interesting.
I really, REALLY don't recommend looking into the Gnostic gospels. They're deeply occultic, and it'll be a test for your soul if you go down that route.
The Book of Adam and Eve, and the book of Jubilees>>>
Honestly, I'd love to see a video on each of these texts!
Why don't you just buy the book? I have a copy. Is not difficult to find
Would love to see a breakdown of the book of Jasher, or the Book of (Adam&)Eve. Jasher is a particular favourite of mine and very elucidating, in the context of such.
Personally I found the First Book of Adam and Eve kinda funny. It really paints the picture of a parent and child relationship between God and Adam and Eve.

Ur channel and specifically this video, in a strange way made me develop a profound curiosity for the bible. I've been a Christian for a long time, but this showed to me how much knowledge of the context of those times you must have to really comprehend what's written and how interesting it can be.
I was really craving for more detailed explanations or possible interpretations of each book as you were presenting them. So my answer to your last question: I want every book in detail!

The gospel of judas sounds really interesting
Why?
@@davidtilley354 it goes into the nature of god and what god is in the esoteric metaphysical sense. Like how it describes life as an endless cycle of torture and that the only way to go towards the greater heaven is to reach some form of understanding.
@yes'nt Yeah, The god that Christians worship today is an evil and manipulative one and the true god doesn't want to be worshipped. All he wants is for mankind to reach deep understanding of the soul, the universe and the collective experience. The heavens and earth is actually hell. It's not where the true god resides. The true god wants mankind to break it's cycle of life, death, Reincarnation and enter his domain where the greater reality awaits. That's really what Jesus tried to convey judas.
Constantine: not Canonnnnnnnn!

What most people do not consider is that "The Bible" was translated into the Latin language at a certain time, in a certain place and by a certain people. Not only was it translated, it was cobbled together from many separate items in different languages, from diverse lands and eras. Effectively, "The Bible" was created, by selecting and editing certain scriptures in certain ways. Had some decisions been made differently, we could have ended up with a completely different bible, and some completely different religions as well. But as it is, the creation process of this book was full of opportunities for things to go wrong. The decision to produce a single book may have been a mistake in itself.
Only in the West. We use the Septuagint only which is Greek, written in Greek from before the time of Jesus. The New Testament was also written in Greek.
I didn't know Moses understood Greek ... Fascinating.
@@kevinyoung42 Greek was used by Jews outside of Palestine which was how the Septuagint came to be.
@@Tsalagi978 Fascinating. And to think I always assumed
the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, but today I have learned those ancient sheep herders were literate in Greek. Truly miraculous. Thank you for this wisdom.
@@kevinyoung42 then you’re not as intelligent as you thought because the Greek Septuagint was translated by Jews for Greek speaking Jews.🤦🏻♂️

Hey dude, great work as usually explaining religion in a very non opinionated way. Keep going, ya awesome
When you have to edit the bible because you think its excess, you're doing it wrong. Translate not localize.
It's not about "doing it wrong". It's about what benefits they will gain, remove the parts that are not for their benefits, so that the vatican has the highest power globally.
They weren’t editing the Bible, they were creating it. The early Church looked for consistency and eliminated the odd ones out.
You do a great job of explaining succinctly and clearly and making rather tedious (yet curious) topics plainly understood thanks for doing it and enlightening us while saving us so much time!

As an atheist myself, I do find your videos and commentary most informative! I've read many of the apocryphal texts and find them most interesting.

I’m interested in the gospels of Mary and Enoch.
The Forgotten Books of Eden give an alternative story of the creation and the expulsion from the garden
The Gospel of Mary please. As hers is the only time I have ever been told about a female point of perspective! All of these books and there, fairly, untold stories are fascinating to me!! Good work again!
I'm really sorry about this, but this "gospel" is heresy. It was written in the third century, completely contradicts both the Old and New Testaments and was definitely made up by the author. Gnostics had a habit of taking random characters from the Bible and having Jesus tell them the "actual truth". The most common were Mary Magdalene and Judas.
I read the book of Enoch once (a long time ago) and the most remarkable stuff I remember is that he basically talked about evolution of species, and that there was something called "The Rage " (or idk, I read it in Spanish) that seemed to be above Satan; Satan talks to it and such and kinda does what it says. Or maybe I just had a crazy dream like John lol. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I read that stuff.
Sometimes that kind of memory is given to you by a messenger. That's what your memory sounds like. It's confusing to explain. People are shown things, they know they saw it or heard it or whatever but can't exactly remember how. Dream visions are cool too. You have to be careful about who the messenger is though. The fallen angels did this to me as a child.
I saw truth through their eyes. It's not meant for humans to understand. I have biblical strength nightmares coming true these days and its not the way I expected at all. Like the giants that would chase me. I was scared sh.. to fall asleep every single night. It's real but I'm not going to be chased like they wanted me to think.
Looking forward to season 2! Would really be interested in hearing more about Gnostic Christians, since they seem to be really unorthodox an interesting. I would like to hear your take on the myth of Yaldabaoth and the Demiurge.
I also think it'd be interesting to here your take on William Blake and his art/poetry regarding the Red Dragon, Urizen, etc.
David fed the dragon so much that it exploded? Hmm I'm getting the old polish legend vibe when ,,Szewczyk Dratewka" or ,,Shoemaker Dratewka" made a fake sheep filled with sulfur as bait to a dragon that was ruining his kings castle, the dragon ate the sheep and he started to feel thirsty, he proceeded to drink the water from the river nearby, he was constantly drinking the water and then there was a very loud noise coming from the place where he was drinking the water. He drank so much that he exploded
That sounds horrifying for both sides
There's a Daniel story with a dragon too.
Man and I thought the star wars extended universe was big and full of controversy
Other people: I will slay the great dragon with my enchanted sword!
Daniel: Hey there fella, want some cake?

@@PeaceToTheUniverse proof
@@PeaceToTheUniverse wym people are dying for something they think is real so obviously there's at least some chance it's not real because there's no proof. There's also no proof that the "word of God" has been spoken, only people whom have claimed to have heard it
@@PeaceToTheUniverse are you Christian? If so then all the texts described are fiction to you.
@@PeaceToTheUniverse but you said this is not fiction. These books are not Christian canon and you can't believe in them. To you they are fiction.
There is no evidence that the word he spoke was truth. In fact there is no evidence he even said half the stuff he is claimed to. Historically they only verifiable fact about Jesus was that he existed and people followed him, the rest could be hog wash.
Many of these “apocryphal” books are (and always were) canon in Catholic and Orthodox bibles
But for Christians they don’t believe in those books because they are so far after the original books and are written with unknown authors they were deemed non canon to most theologians. I also believe they are non canon due to how long they came after the other books and by their authors
@@Arelius_02 many of the so called “apocryphal” were always part of Christianity because they were part of Judaism during Jesus' time.
Some books like Maccabees do take place after, but that's because there's a period of centuries between the Old and New Testament in Protestant Bibles were nothing happens, Catholic and Orthodox Bibles fill this void, and these more historical focused books are no different than Chronicles for example, no real reason to exclude them.
@@adrian7856 yea their is because during Maliki the Old Testament was completed n anything between him and Jesus is non biblically cannon because the Old Testament was complete and anything after or during Jesus is the New Testament adding false books after the Old Testament is wrong an shouldn’t be put inside of the Bible the Jews didn’t except them themselves and in the Dead Sea scrolls none of those books where added because they weren’t expected because those books contradict other books of the Old Testament or show false beliefs
@@Arelius_02 You are wrong, there are literal books of the Dead Sea Scrolls like Sirach, Tobit and Baruch not found in Protestant Bibles or Jewish Tanakh, but they are found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles.
And who's Maliki?
@@adrian7856 sorry I meant Malachi stupid iPhone autocorrect who was the last of the minor prophets and is the last book of the Old Testament those apocrypha do not correlate with the rest of the Old Testament maccabees states you may pray for the dead while the Bible states Deuteronomy 18:9-12 states a consulter with familiar sports, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the lord Jews believed that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself and doesn’t have any contradictions inside of it either but adding those non biblical canon text contradicts the Bible after Malachi the Old Testament was complete and finished anything after between him and Jesus’s time is non canon because once Jesus is born the New Testament starts leaving no room for any other false texts
Would love a video about the story of Adam and Eve before all the translating and re-interpreting, and where Lilith fits into it.
Obviously your just making it up to sound erudite it you really wanted to know about Adam an Eve n Lilith before translations you would be you would be doing the searches on Google and in Greek or mebbe Hebrew. All english discussions of these manuscripts are by definition translations whut a maroon.
I'm fascinated by Enoch, having been raised Mormon. He shows up quite a bit in our Book of Moses.
That’s so interesting that this shows up in your books.
Might Have to compare what it says in ur book and what it says in our Bible and then they book of Enoch
Mormon is pure Blasphemous
Something I have always wondered is that is the apocrypha merely inconsistent accounts left out of the original Bible or are they accounts left out because the church couldn't use them to exercise their authority?
The Apocryphal books are only called that by protestants, they're canonical to Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.
The Gnostic gospels are a different group of books which were excluded because they were, in fact, the secret property of certain christian groups. They weren't included in the Bible because they weren't common knowledge.
When we're talking about the Old Testament apocrypha, we have a bit of a problem. The person in the video is using wrong terminology, the books like Tobit, Judith and 1 and 2 Maccabees were in the Bible since 300 BC, but Luther thought they were made up stories, so protestants don't have them, but both the catholic and orthodox churches treat them like any other books. That's why they are called deuterocanonical books, not apocrypha. The real Old Testament apocrypha like Enoch or Jubilees are just books written by Bible scholars that were never really aiming to be in the Bible, they were just interesting teachings claiming to be written by some important Old Testament character to be more popular. So those were either obviously not trying to be in the Bible or they were gotten rid of by Luther.
When it comes to New Testament apocrypha, the great majority are already too new to be in the Bible, being fifth-or-more-hand accounts of Jesus's life. Out of these you have those that simply collect tradition of questionable origin (Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, Acts of Peter), those that are made up "fanfiction" (Acts of Paul and Thecla, Infancy Gospel of James, Questions of Bartholomew) and those made up by gnostics (Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas) that all follow a single theme: a person Jesus knew is told the "actual truth" by him, the apostles don't believe them and so the gnostics are better because all of Jesus's teachings were fake and only that one person was told the truth and only they know it. They are so obviously fake it's absurd. None of those three types of New Testament apocrypha were trustworthy enough to be put in the Bible. And then there are just some letters by early scholars and popes that easily could have been in the Bible but people just decided that they were just written too late. Nothing controversial about them, they just had to draw the line somewhere. So no, no books were excluded because christians didn't like them.
@@rafexrafexowski4754 it's nice to get an educated answer! Thanks for the info.
Dude you gotta do the book of Enoch, I’ve been studying it a lot lately and would love some of the insight that your videos bring!
Very interesting!! Let's see what more Season 2 has to offer :)
3:30 that story reminded me of polish Dragon of Wawel. The dragon was reigning terror over farmers and shepherds, so a shoemaker made a fakeout sheep, full of sulfur and pitch. After eating the sheep, the dragon got really thirsty and drank so much water it exploded. Maybe the polish legend was based off of this one?

Hey, hey, I just subscribed!!! Just interacting with your page here. Seriously, I’m so glad I ran across your channel. I was raised southern Baptist, am now atheist, and am absolutely obsessed with Christian and Jewish religious studies. All religious studies, really. Anyhoo, I fucking love this, keep up the good work!!!
I've just stumbled across your channel. I'm not entirely sure how. LOL RUclips is funny that way. But I wanted to thank you. This is exactly the kind of study I wanted to do when I was young, back before I gave up thoughts of the seminary to become a heathen. Reaching both into the original texts instead of our modern (mis)translations, as well as exciting new discoveries back then like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the books we hadn't heard about in mainstream, there was a lot to find fascinating for a teen diving deep enough to question everything about life, faith included, which started my research into all religions, not just Christianity. So this channel is both heart-warming nostalgia and just as intriguing today. Thanks! I wish more scholars would delve deep into these origins. Religion is a lot more interesting than churches give it credit for. LOL
Well this is a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting this for a while longer.

Can't way for the Mary standalone series coming to Disney+ in 2022
underrated comment
I want to learn the history of churches. Why do we have different religion with basically the same pattern but different in beliefs.
Some religions come from the same place
It might sound strange, but the Wikipedia articles are actually very thorough with the subject -- for example, the page for the Great Schism of 1054 (Catholic-Orthodox) is longer than the one for Hitler.
Keep in mind that every source you read will be biased in some way. It sounds like you're probably Protestant -- but most of the (reliable) sources for early Christianity are Catholic or Orthodox. Secular history can only get you so far since there's an unbroken tradition of writings passed on from the Apostles to the current Pope and Patriarchs. Those Church Fathers -- Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Irenaeus, Chrysostom, Augustine -- are theologians in their own right and (in my opinion) should be at least respected by all denominations. If you've read the New Testament already, I'd recommend starting here if you want to learn about the Early Church (until 120AD):
List of Church Fathers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Fathers
The Didache (early Christian writing, ~60AD): www.earlychristianwritings.com/didache.html
Portal for writings of the Church Fathers (Catholic source, some Protestant ones available for sale under the name "ante-Nicene fathers" but it's basically the same): www.newadvent.org/fathers/
From there, you can Ctrl+F the seven epistles of Ignatius of Antioch (early 2nd century), Clement of Rome's First Epistle (70 or 96AD), Polycarp's Epistle to the Philippians (mid-2nd century), Irenaeus' Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies, 180AD), and Eusebius' Church History (310s AD). Just make sure before you read something to make sure that it's genuine (not apocryphal).
If you're just looking for Protestant history, here's a TL;DR for all of the Wikipedia pages: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christianity_major_branches.svg
There are too many Protestant denominations to list in a RUclips comment, so for each individual history I'd recommend looking up each one independently. Also, I'm sorry to any Restorationists or "Church in the Wilderness Baptists" out there, but your church's founding date is probably in the 19th-20th centuries, not in the 1st. Only the Catholic and Orthodox Churches have that claim. You can't magically not have the Church from the end of the 1st century to whenever your group was founded.
A year late, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see more coverage of the biblical apocrypha
Amazing videos! Thanks and hope to see more of your content!
I see you have done this video on the Protestant Bible, not the earlier canon that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches have as their core. This canon includes books such as Tobit, Judith, the addition of Bel and the Dragon to Daniel in chapter 14, etc. I just wanted to let everyone know not all of these are truly excluded from the Bible, it all depends on whether you have the Bible with the earlier canon, or the Bible with the canon following Martin Luther and other Protestant leaders removing some books from the official canon, subsequently moving them into a secondary canon called the Apocrypha, and eventually removing them altogether.
Doing God's work quite literally my man.
