Rediscovering the Profound Diversity of Early Christianity #shorts #christianity #religion #worship

In this short from "Misquoting Jesus" with Bart Ehrman, we take a look at the topic of diversity within Christianity as Bart sheds light on the extensive diversity that existed within early Christianity. Prepare to be amazed!

It is always amazing how Evolution in multiple areas or fields of study is always more diverse at its beginnings than in later or modern times, survival of the fittest seems to be a Natural Law of the Universe

There was a denomination claiming that the Jewish God was evil, and that Jesus was the son of a super secret God who was above that God.

It occurred to me as I have been watching your videos that it would not matter if we had video of everything Jesus ever did. We would still have as many denominations as we do, because we would still be fighting over what did Jesus mean when he did this or said that. It appears that what we see when we look at anything or read anything is as much or more a projection of our own state-of-mind as "reality".

The divisions are endless. Religion does division better than anybody. Humanity will be lucky to survive it.

[tedclemens]

Even the disciples had to hash out their differences. With all the diversity then and now, what is it that unites?

[grahamlindsay]

So in other words The ecumenical differences just become violent every so often

[XeaRae]

Pretty mad how this one random deluded dude who was convinced the world would end any minute, somehow randomly got half the world worshipping him as a supreme deity for the next 2000 years.

Further evidence that it’s all made up. Unless anyone wants to argue that god made it complicated on purpose to confuse his followers 😂

Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians. Both believe in totally different Christs.

Please, I like some shorts, but you are _seriously_ overdoing the flooding our feeds.

Once during my study in Germany, I was invited by libanese lady and her egyptian husband belonging to the Jehova sect.
The aranged a contact between me and the community priest trying to convert me.
He asked me about my religion. I told Islam.
He recited a Verse from Coran:
الله لا إلاه إلا هو (there is no God but God)
He wanted to convince me that هو means Jehova (sounds similar).


As I explained hin the verse gramatically, he was struck.
Later on, the libanese lady asked me to wait outside the church till they finish their ceremony.

Months later the Lady came to me with couple of books and flyers. First I didn't let her come in my flat, rejected to take over those books and asked her to search about others religions including Islam, if she is looking for what they named Jehova (God)

Long story short:
Praise to Allah, that I'm Muslim

The Scapegoat!
Matthew 27:15-26
Jesus Barabbas, the scapegoat, is released living, and Jesus the Messiah, the immolated goat, is put to death. Scapegoat was the name given to the goat that “escaped” into the wilderness, never to return, with the blood, or sins, of the people on him. The scapegoat symbolized that through the Atonement all of Israel's sins could be forgiven, never to return.
Barabbas (which means son of the father in Aramaic) who was guilty (burdened with sin) was released while Jesus (also the Son of the Father) who was innocent of Sin was presented by the High Priest and was sacrificed by the Romans through crucifixion.
Matthew 27:16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”

[quetzelmichaels]

Is there one that actually puts the sacrifice into context with sin? Rather than simply being accused of sin and treated like a sinner?

The way of the Lord in the desert needs to be put into context with the previous passage:
Sacrifice - Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.
Resurrection - Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God! (Isa 40:2-3 NABO)
Just as it is appointed that human beings die - be judged - appear a second time, (so also Christ) Heb 9:27-28.
