WOTM: Original Disciples
In that same interview with Alex O'Connor, Low Bar Bill (this month's fool — every month, really) makes a very bold claim, suggesting he can prove the resurrection based on the explanation/testimony that the original disciples gave about the various events surrounding Jesus' life, death, and alleged resurrection. There's just one small problem with that. And it comes up when I go looking for the explanation the original disciples gave us.
Once again, I find myself overwhelmed by the generosity of your continued support. I literally couldn't make these videos without you. And it's just about my favorite thing to do. Especially when (as has been the case this month more than any other month in recent history) I find out that what we're doing here has changed lives for the better. I shared some of that with you in an earlier post this month, and several others have made similar comments in the various videos. So, I thank you. And THEY thank you as well.
Stay safe and smart, gang! 'Cause some people can't do both — or either. I love an appreciate all of you for making this work possible. TTFN! And enjoy! B

"Well look, there's got to be some contempor--what's that?...forgeries? Really? I--[sigh] Okay then. Umm... Looks like there's...nothing."
It's far worse than this! Paul wrote first, and Paul is EXPLICITLY clear that he did NOT learn about jesus from any man or from scripture, because those are unreliable and tainted. He REPEATEDLY says that all the things he knows about jesus were revelations from god! Because in his eyes, revelations from god are untainted and unable to be corrupted. He felt that this strengthened his claims to know about jesus! So our first author writing about jesus, the one closest to jesus in time, is ADAMANT that he didn't learn about jesus from eyewitnesses or scripture! Now ask yourself, what does this mean about how the authors of the canonical gospels came to know of jesus, many decades to even a century later?
😏 ... what a great metaphor
Yeah, let's look for a more challenging adversary. Bill is ranking low in the idiot's league.
I’ve been looking for someone a bit more elevated within the Christian community specifically. It doesn’t exist! So I’ll continue to shoot the fish in the barrel.
Sorry, but Bill's a moron. By His logic? A book says a thing so... it's true. SMH. NONE of "the original disciples" wrote a fucking thing about Jeebus. Someone else did decades later.
How the hell does one get a PHD in BS? 😂😂
Uh… hold on… y'mean… Mary Magdalene didn't manage to find a publisher to print and sell her story? There's no Gospel of Magdalene?
I'm sure there is somewhere. We just haven't found it yet.
