Luke's Geography Nightmare?

Supposed Biblical Error Number 26. Did Luke get the geography of ancient Judea wildly wrong and have Jesus walking south, then north, then south again to get Jerusalem? We answer that in this video.

That parallelism is something I never would have noticed. Thanks for sharing this.

Hey Michael, I just wanted to say I’m very appreciative of your videos. For most of my adult life, I considered myself 75% Christian and 25% agnostic and I always struggled with that one thing that really helped me try and hold onto my faith is my dad. He is a 20 year army veteran and retired Green Beret and after all the hours he saw he was still able to keep his faith but finding your videos recently and showing me many of the lies I was told about Christianity sent me over the edge in a good way. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me fully come back to Christ

This series is how I found you in the first place, IP. I'm glad you're still doing these, and I hope you only stop because there are no supposed contradictions/errors left to correct.

Its so cool that even in a geographic lens, Jesus was fulfilling prophecies and implying that He is the Son of God. Very noice

That was awesome. My head exploded when you put the map of Elijah/Elisha up and it is basically identical. The minor differences would likely be due to changes in the roads and such over that time period

This was excellent, thank you for sharing.

Luke in the book of acts is 100% accurate in the geographical claims and the names & titles of the historic figures present at the time, it's wild to contrast Luke's accuracy with other 1st century writers of his day, some look at josephus and say he got it right where Luke made mistakes, it's the opposite as Luke was a better historian then historians of his day both jewish & roman historians. Wild stuff. And when people try to late date the new testament to discredit it's incredible accuracy, they also say the writter closer to the time of the events written down is more reliable, well yes Luke's writings were closer to Jesus life then some later writers written about similar events. I am bias but the new atheist arguments are almost as bad as the whole dawah scene.

Never saw that connection between Elijah's journey and that of Jesus. So interesting! Thanks.

[luisr]

Never read about these interesting details. Thanks!

[AWSOMEPOSSUM]

Watching your videos and learning from them always pumps me up, Michael. What a Mighty God we worship!

[ETBrothers]

Wow, I've never thought this way about the details before, it's brilliant!

[thejohnwhiteproject]

I had never heard of this before. Fantastic. Thank you so much!

[nsnowman]

Wow, so many amazing parallels, all brand new to me, incredible, thank you for sharing!

[JadDragon]

It's awesome how Jesus parallels the prophets. Jonah is a big one I think.

Jesus lives! ♥️ and is Yahweh God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑

[johnv]

I never heard of this being a shadow of Elijah/Elisha. That's cool.

[lukasart]

I appreciate the amount of research you put into your videos.

This seems to be why some sceptical NT scholars like Bart Ehrman and Paula Fredrickson think the Gospels were also supposedly written too distant to be reliable.

Paulogia seemed to agree with Bart once when he argued that as one factor against the empty tomb despite Paul also believing the Olivet discourse predictions.
