Today we're going to react to the video where the Gospel authors divinely inspired. But the absolutely amazing channel, many prophets, one message. This channel deserves at least one million followers. So I just discovered this video and I'm extremely curious to finally watch it because this is truly something Christians propose all the time, over and over again. The church fathers, they were all divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. That is an impossibility guys, because if you look at the Council of Nicaea, 1,800 church fathers were invited to discuss the nature of God. Of course, they had a huge dispute and ultimately they came to the conclusion that God must be a Trinity by voting democratically. So you cannot tell me that all of those people were equally guided by the Holy Spirit and then had a huge dispute about the nature of God. Quick thought experiment. Let's imagine I'm guided by the Holy Spirit and you, the viewer, you're guided by the Holy Spirit as well. Now we say two different things about God. Who is truly guided now? You cannot tell me that everybody is equally guided if you need 1,800 people discussing if the Trinity is true or not. And ultimately they come to the conclusion, as I said, the Trinity is right, other people are called heretics and they're persecuted and what not. But it is exactly that claim that people after Jesus can be divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit that let the Christian church stray. Because what happened just after the death of Jesus Christ? Paul comes out of nowhere and proclaims, you know what, Jesus never said it, but I'm gonna remove the law. And you know what, Jesus never said it, but I'm gonna start eating pork. Why not, right? Might as well. This is the new inspiration coming straight from God. I am divinely inspired. No, I'm not Jesus, but I'm Jesus' apostle, of course. Even though my message goes directly against Jesus, who cares, right? So you can see the danger clearly there. In Islam with the concept of bida, innovation, and of course we do not innovate in our religion because the Quran states that our religion has been perfected. In Christianity, you do not have that the religion has not been perfected apparently during the time of Jesus and therefore 300 years later out of the sudden God is three in one. Who really tells us that in the future that won't change again? Maybe it's gonna be four in one, five in one, et cetera, et cetera. You name it. All right, enough rambling. Let's jump into the video and check it out for ourselves. But before we do so, guys, if you enjoy my work, leave me a thumbs up.

When it comes to the reliability of the Gospels, many Christians believe that their authors were writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, providing multiple independent, yet perfectly harmonious testimonies about the life and ministry of Jesus. In this video, we will put this belief to the test by comparing the Gospel accounts. There is in fact compelling evidence that the authors of Matthew and Mark were copying from one another. Yeah, fair enough. This video apparently will discuss only the Gospels as I said. The implication of a further guidance of the Holy Spirit is of course even more dangerous because it led to Paul. If we compare these two texts, we can see that they are both narrating the same speech of Jesus. Notice the identical comment. Let the readers understand by both authors. This statement is obviously not something that Jesus himself said, but rather is the Gospel author's editorial comment directed to us the readers. It is extremely unlikely that two writers would, by pure chance, insert into their accounts exactly the same editorial comment in exactly the same place. The simplest and obvious explanation is that one of the writers was using the material of the other as a source and copied not only the bulk of the speech of Jesus, but also the same editorial comment. This seriously cast doubt on the traditional understanding that Matthew and Mark were independent eyewitnesses to the life and ministry of Jesus. Absolutely. This is not some great conspiracy theory. Nowadays modern-day scholars will agree that the authors are anonymous and ultimately we do not know who those people are, let alone that they were the first apostles of Christ. Notice that one of the authors was plagiarizing the other. Now Christian apologists and missionaries may argue that this is not an issue. So long as the earlier source was inspired and so long as the later authors were faithful in their copying process, then all the accounts will contain reliable information about Jesus. Let's now put this argument of theirs to the test by comparing the Gospel accounts. The Gospel of Mark mentions the following incident about a woman in a crowd. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. When she heard about Jesus she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because she thought, if I just touch his clothes I will be healed. Immediately her bleeding stopped. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, who touched my clothes? Here is Matthew's account of the same incident. Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, if I only touch his cloak I will be healed. Jesus turned and saw her. Take heart daughter. Your faith has healed you. We can see that the Gospels of Mark and Matthew both narrate a story about a woman who was miraculously healed by touching the cloak of Jesus. In Mark Jesus is ignorant about who touched him. He had to consult the crowd in order to find out. Contrast this with Matthew who changed the story so that Jesus immediately knew who touched him. Obviously Christians cannot like the story in which Jesus doesn't know who touched him because that would mean that Jesus is not God ultimately. Because God knows everything and therefore God must know who touched him. The author of Matthew seems to have wanted to portray Jesus in a more powerful light. Sure. And John did even more so. The Gospel of Mark mentions the following incident about the disciples. Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, Teacher, don't you care if we drown? He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, Quiet, be still. Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? Here is Luke's account of the same incident. The disciples went and woke him saying, I have to say I don't really like what the video creators did. Here first and foremost they are depicting Jesus and then they are giving him the snoring sound as well. I find it quite disrespectful. Saying, Master, Master, we're going to drown. He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters. The storm subsided and all was calm. Where is your faith? He asked his disciples. We can see that the Gospels of Mark and Luke both provide an account of Jesus and the disciples on a boat during a storm. Mark portrays the disciples as rather disrespectful towards Jesus, accusing him of being uncaring. Even the response of Jesus, do you still have no faith, is quite harsh. By comparison, Luke softened the tone considerably. Not only having the disciples address Jesus more respectfully, but also changing the response of Jesus to where is your faith? The Gospel of Mark mentions the following incident about a man who questions Jesus. As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. Good teacher, he asked, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Why do you call me good? Jesus answered. No one is good except God alone. Here is Matthew's account of the same incident. Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life? Why do you ask me about what is good? Jesus replied. There is only one who is good. We can see that the Gospels of Mark and Matthew both mention an incident about a man who approached Jesus and questioned him about eternal life. Here you can see the slow progression into deification of Jesus Christ, ultimately finding its absolute pinnacle within the Gospel of John, where Jesus is the alpha and the omega before Abraham was, he is, etc., etc., you name it. So it starts very simple. Jesus is a teacher and then at the end of the Gospels, he is God himself. In Mark, Jesus rejected the question as praise of him being good, saying that God alone is good. Matthew seems to have been troubled by this and therefore rephrased Jesus' answer very subtly. From why do you call me good to why do you ask me about what is good? So as to avoid the difficult implication that Jesus is not completely good. The Gospel of Mark mentions the following incident about the crucifixion. And at 3 in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. Here is Luke's account of the same incident. Jesus called out with a loud voice, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. When he had said this, he breathed his last. We can see that the Gospels of Mark and Luke both record the dying words of Jesus. In Mark, Jesus is alleged to have cried out in blasphemous despair. Luke's account completely reversed this by placing in the mouth of Jesus the far more stoic and submissive statement, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. In summary, we have seen that the Gospel authors failed to faithfully convey information about Jesus. They were less concerned with accuracy and more concerned with shaping the stories to conform with their own personal theological beliefs. With regards to the question of divine inspiration, it's apparent that the authors themselves did not consider these accounts to be inspired. Otherwise, they would not have tampered with them in such a way. The reality is different either. He's speaking about tampering with the accounts and he's absolutely right about that. But the fact is that those accounts are different and that's all you need to know. If they're truly guided by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is God in Christianity. If you're truly guided by God and you're receiving some sort of revelation, that revelation must of course be identical. You cannot have differences within those two revelations then about the same situation. We're talking about the crucifixion and the words of Jesus are totally different. How can they both then be guided by the Holy Spirit? The majority of Christians are unaware of such changes. This is not surprising because the Gospels are typically read in isolation. It's only when you read them horizontally comparing the accounts with each other side by side that the changes become apparent. Let's compare this messy situation of the Gospels to the Islamic sources about the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him. His close disciples, known as the companions, accurately preserved and transmitted much of the information that we know about him today. Alright, that's it for today's video. I said pretty much everything throughout the video. I wanted to say however there is one more thing I want to mention. I already talked about that I kind of found disrespectful the way that Jesus was depicted. But moreover in the end when the video creator starts talking about Prophet Muhammad he says peace be upon him. But as Muslims we should say peace be upon him when we mention Jesus or any other prophet as well. Therefore the depiction of this video could convey to Christians that hey listen guys Islam is true and we are listening to Prophet Muhammad and this is it. We don't care about Jesus. But that is of course not the fact. If you look into Islam truly, truthfully you will find out that we love all the prophets. And therefore I would keep the same standard here of course to all the prophets. We do not depict Jesus Christ and moreover we mention as I said already may peace be upon him as well. I believe that this is very very important whilst conveying the message of Islam because this video that we just watched surely reached many Christians as well. We are not here to steer animosity. We are here to invite to the religion of God united under all the prophets. May peace be upon them all. Alright guys but this is it for today's video. If you liked it leave it a thumbs up.
