Ms Lewis is a accomplished scholar in her own right whom Professor Erhman is mentoring in her career. The recurring remarks if her dress and physical appearance is so pathetic. Women in this field have enough barriers to overcome: we can do without these insults. Perhaps try to refrain in the future.

Bart sounds like an AM radio disc jockey!

Does the mic have a youtuber voice setting?

Same mic as previous episodes, but sounds like he has allergies or bumped a setting that reduced all the treble in his voice.

Yeah same mic but new mix. Amp'd up the low end and dampered the mid-range. Sounds odd, especially since the high end wasn't changed much. He also sounds kind of sick, but the mix is more disturbing than the sickness

The proximity effect is the tendancy for low frequencies to be emphasized the closer to the mic you get. That SM7 is optimized for speech and is really much happier when it's 6-10 inches from your face.

I feel sorry for her hair. Must be so fried!

Just new hardware I think; camera quality has also improved

New microphone is my guess

He sounds sick

He drank from The Cup of Christ?

Just a little sick. Thanks.

At the very least, he doesn't proselytize

​@@MichaelTheophilus906 Sounds like he struck a nerve.

LMAO! It is interesting, I'd like to find a "believing" Bible scholar to explain how they find spirituality in the Bible through the lens of a scholar.

@@geico1975 check out the work of Richard Rohr.

​@@John.Flower.Productions Where does she claim that? I've been following this podcast from the beginning, and I've never heard her claim that.

@@Noneya5555 Her bio on X, I believe. Has her pronouns on there, too. Drives the chuds crazy.

@@John.Flower.Productions Sounds like you assume fundamentalism is the only "real" Christianity. Ms. Lewis is an Episcopalian and that denomination is and has been very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. They elected their first gay bishop back in like 2003. She may be "flexible" in her faith, whatever that means, but in this regard she's just a normal, standard Episcopalian.

​@John.Flower.Productions Nobody calls themselves "a queer". Only homophobes use it as a noun, as it's felt that using it as a noun alters it from one descriptor among many to an all-encompassing identity. She likely feels that Christianity is essentially a call to love and respect all people, especially outcasts. If she does leave the church, hopefully she can retain that part, at least.

@@John.Flower.Productions A Christian is a follower of Christ. Plain and simple.

Hel and Hell both come from Proto-Germanic _haljō_ Please see Hel and Hell on Wikipedia. I confirmed the etymology of Hell elsewhere. I would guess that the Christian penchant to categorize any non-Christian supernatural belief as evil contributes to the current difference in meaning between Hel and Hell.

It comes from the Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons. Now, their conceptions of Hel & her realm were not exactly like those of their brethren, the Norse; but their term for 'the bad afterlife' was Hel - the goddess' name. The phrase "Go to Hell" is very old, and meant to die and go to the bad afterlife. When the Anglo-Saxons became Christian, the old traditions couldn't be totally stamped out. And certainly, although the language of Christianity then was Latin, you had to translate that Latin into the local language so people could understand it. Thus, the pre-existing term for where someone did _not_ want to end up after they died became the term for the Christian concept of the Fires of Gehenna, or variously Sheol (the dull quiet of death as eternal sleep).

​@@thealmightyaku-4153Their brethren the Norse and Danes entered the English bloodstream in a big way around AD 800, so that could have brought hel into the language? 🎉

@@trilithon108 The Angles, Saxons & Jutes were Germanic pagans - they already believed in Hel when they invaded in the 400s. And they were Christianised in the 600s. I should also mention that Hell was easily conflated with extra-biblical ideas of 'the bad afterlife' from the Mediterranean with pagan origins that had become mixed up in Christian belief, & used to translate it: Tartarus/Hades, & Orcus - which are all, interestingly, like Hell, places named for the god that inhabits &/or rules them.

Mr. Jennings, I have been thinking about that too. Gehenna in modern (American?) English would be something like the local dump, what we euphemistically inclined Americans call a landfill. Sheol has been translated into the word "pit" in one text I found. The Italian word " inferno" which means hell might refer to " forno" meaning oven or kiln or perhaps, instead. "l'inverno" which means winter, literally "the" winter as I have written it. Dante used the word "inferno" for hell which I have always imagined as a hot place, but the very center of his Hell where Satan was said to be imprisoned was a frozen place. Satan was upright, up to his waist in solid, frozen turds, according to the translation I read. I know little Italian, and no Latin, Greek or Hebrew, but the poet in me wonders if the word "pit" in Hebrew has a double meaning. In English pit can mean a hole dug in the ground and it can mean a type of seed. English has a curious word "cleave" which can mean to cut or chop or to bring together, depending on its context, also.

😅

No one needs C.S. Lewis regardless.

Meegan..is awesome..A GREAT TEAM.. BART IS MY FAVOURITE BIBLE SCHOLAR HANDS DOWN. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR EFFORTS TO EDUCATE US!

​@@therion5458He was a far more peculiar man than was evident at first glance. He renounced any belief in God after experiencing the horror of WW1, was essentially talked out of it by Tolkien, and had the gall to shit on pacifists later, insisting they didn't understand the sense of "gaiety and wholeheartedness that comes with being a soldier". He also called the establishment of knighthood "one of the great Christian ideas." The man either had a psychotic break or was a pathological liar his whole life.

Comparing the two would be enlightening as well.

There's therapy available for that

I'm going to say yes.

That's odd, most of those psychos know it's Trump

No he does not sit the Messiah because the scripture clearly states that the Messiah will come down on with the clouds

@onejohn2.26. Why would you give two shoots about that, the Messiah comes from YHWH the devil, that's what Jesus said, in John John

@@Imahuckleberry That makes no sense whatsoever

@onejohn2.26. It makes perfect sense, especially when you read John 8, like verse 44. Who was he speaking to, and what is the name of their devil God? Most of what Jesus said was to show you this psychopath isn't his FATHER. He said over and over things like " You've heard is said, BUT I say", or things like in YOUR Law, or THEIR law, or in THEIR synagogues, even HIS greatest commandments was how many, two??? Even Jesus flat out told you the GREAT deception, was that people like you would FALSELY call him the stinking Christ Matthew 24:5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. Trust me, yes it makes PERFECT sense, especially when he said y'all would all follow the wrong one, that stinking devil's son John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. Your problem is, he hasn't CHOSEN to reveal his FATHER to you yet Matthew 11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. There's two FATHERS, and two son, devil YHWH and his freak Christ is the wrong one

Im blasted already!😂

Take a shot for every academic who can actually point to the "historical Jesus" they claim exists. You should still be sober after this exercise.

I did and now I am on my way to Jesus. 😂😅

Too late.😂

@@MarcillaSmith The historical Jesus died two thousand years ago. That makes him difficult for anyone to point “to”-or at. What would be the point of this attempt to point?

Ματταθιας 19:28

Suggestion for an episode theme: Who are the people as a nation who truly follow the preaching and practice of Jesus of the Bible? Do YOU realize that the ONLY people on the face of the earth who practice and uphold and preach and defend the doctrine and honor of Jesus OF THE BIBLE are the Muslim????? It's an amazing situation really. On each and every fundamental doctrine, Christianity (overwhelming) is AGAINST Jesus of their very own scriptures BUT the Muslim is calling the Christians to go by what Jesus precticed and preached. 🤗 👉 Jesus gave the Trinity-DESTROYING testimony that THE FATHER (SINGLE PERSON) IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD but the Christians (overwhelming) testify that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (The Trinity) is the true God. 👉 John 4:21-22 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, *WORSHIP THE FATHER* . Ye worship ye know not what: *WE* know what *WE WORSHIP* : for salvation is of the Jews. Have another look: *WE WORSHIP* (The J-E-W na-ti-on INCLUDING ME - Jesus) 👉 “And this is life eternal, that they might know *YOU THE ONLY TRUE GOD* , and Jesus Christ, whom *YOU* have sent.” John 17:3 👉 John 20:17: “Jesus saith unto her, ...I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and TO MY GOD, AND YOUR GOD.” Have another look! ".... *TO MY GOD and YOUR GOD* " ME and YOU 👉 *WE* *WE WORSHIP* THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THE FATHER who is THE GOD OF ME (Jesus) and YOU 👉 *OUR GOD* 👉 And Jesus answered him, THE FIRST OF ALL the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord *OUR GOD* is one Lord Mark 12:29 👉 Jesus teaches: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and *HIM ONLY* shalt thou serve” Luke 4:8. Notice the words: “HIM ONLY.” Jesus did not say “US only,” or “Him and I only.” How could he possibly i it more clear than that? Jesus told to worship ONLY THE FATHER - who is THE GOD of Jesus too. 👉 NEVER preached about Original Sin 👉 NEVER preached that for salvation, people needed to believe that Jesus died (will die) for their sins 👉 NEVER preached that the wages of sins is death 👉 PREACHED that for the forgiveness - NO payment needed, NO sacrifice of Jesus, NO Jesus paid for us 👉 PREACHED that just turn away in sincere repentance and the Merciful God forgives 👉 PREACHED adherence to the comprehensive Law Code as the path to salvation 👉 PREACHED that for certain transgression (like mur-der) on the Law Code, CAPITAL punishment - PUTTING the transgressors to DE ATH - needed to be administered 👉 PREACHED that his followers SHALL IN NO WAY ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN if they do not keep the comprehensive Law Code even better and moreso than the Scribes and the Pharisees 👉 DID NOT eat p.i.g 👉 FASTED and PREACHED FASTING 👉 Greeted with the phrase "peace be with you" 👉 Jesus was CIRCUMCISED. AN EVERLASTING COVENANT IN FLESH for the believers till the end of times 👉 PREACHED that his followers follow the comprehensive Law Code which the Scribes and the Pharisees tell people to follow - that includes oblution / washing of the hands and feet before worship or entering a place of worship Of course the term the Father in the Jewish context. NOT that God has a Son.

These are among those things that are impossible to know. They only sayings attributed to Jesus are taken from the Hebrew Bible. It is more likely these reflect the view of gospel writer. Question are what would Jesus believe are ridiculous

Agree

Who recorded every word, not the illiterate disciples. Maybe it was made up by the church😮

Yes, amazingyes, amazingly ridiculous

There's a lovely little video called "In Search of a Flat Earth" by Dan Olson, Folding Ideas, that you'd be interested in.

Btw there are also Egyptian papyri showing that there were women who registered their families 👍

Mark is the source for mathew and Luke, Mark sources are lost to us, sources of sources of sources are also lost to us,.

Luke was written after Matthew, so Matthew's author would not have had a copy of Luke.

Thanks, you spared me the effort to say the same thing - the anointing of the British monarchs also has to do with the idea that the monarchs rule their subjects with God-given authority.

I noticed the same. Perhaps he has a new mic.

Interesting thought - it does seem contradictory - to follow Him, you must renounce earthly possessions, yet He believed he was the future king of an earthly kingdom? Doesn't quite square. Yuck.
