    When apologists resort to personal attacks and the inflammatory language of bullies, you know they're weak. Apologists exist to convince true believers not to look at contradictory evidence, never to promote truth.

    Granted I can be as mean as the next person; however in this case it comes with the territory you're describing. They are there - to deceive people. The story of Ravi Zacharias is a good example. The deceptive mindset, is similar to that of a psychopath and they have many amongst their ranks. In that it leads to this sort of ...instability, whenever they are challenged on any of it. The actual reason so many of them are jailed here in China; is because of the bigotry issue - and the aggression that follows.

    Whilst this apologist is obviously entitled to voice his opinion, it is significant that he seems unable to do so without being deliberately unpleasant. Dan, by contrast, not only produced his original video calmly and factually but maintains that dignity in his response. This alone should make us doubt the apologist. I don't know who he is but I seriously doubt his scholarship or credentials.

    Dan, I’ve never hear you call someone “stupid” or that their argument was “stupid” or an “embarrassment to academia.” I’m not sure if this person is in academia, but the way they speak does not make me want to treat them seriously. I don’t like when my views, i.e. dogma, are challenged by data, that doesn’t mean that the data is incorrect. Neither does it mean I call the persons argument “crappy”, “stupid”, or “embarrassing”. Those pejoratives just mean that you’re getting emotional about the things you don’t like and that also makes me less likely to take the creator’s arguments.

It's especially gratifying to watch him completely dismantle the rude and indignant apologists that cherry-pick facts from a Wikipedia page on ancient biblical texts and then believe they're a real PhD. (It's a cherry on top if the apologist is an actual PhD, but from a conservative evangelical school with no accreditations.)

    The apologist, despite his struggles with logic and kindness, still exposed some areas that benefitted from the clarification in this video. I think we are now much better prepared for Papias enthusiasts. Papias described his own methodology as ,to paraphrase, repeating what people claimed if they claimed it came from the Lord. He delighted only in those who taught the “truth”, which implies that he thought he knew the truth already and filtered out testimony that didn’t match what he already believed.

    If Peter consulted Mark on the construction of his gospel, its intriguing that this gospel is missing key elements like: the virgin birth and the post resurrection appearances of Jesus. Its interesting that Papias would prefer hearing tales from elders over the gospels. If the Gospels are eyewitness accounts, they're immediately more preferable than elders including elders that were eyewitnesses. Memory fails overtime and his work is dated to about 95-110 AD. This wouldve made John the Elder 89 years old if John the Elder was the Apostle John and our ideas of his age are accurate. Pretty sure an apostle like Matthew writing 15 or so years earlier wouldve had a better memory than John who was older at the time. And it seems like Papias' ideas of what occurred based off oral tradition contradicts scripture so ig Papias heard eyewitness Elder testimony that heavily contridicts what this guy says Matthew, Peter, Paul, and John claimed. Theres no way you get what he said about Judas any other way.

    As I said in a comment in the original video, Christians have no good evidence for their authorship claims for any of the gospels. The best that they can do is come up with unsupported scenarios about how it is *plausible* that the assigned authors wrote the gospels. If they had good authorship evidence, they would simply present that, instead of coming up with ever more outlandish rescue mechanisms for their beliefs. In this case, being very butt-hurt while doing so.

    I'm afraid this creator is getting roundly hammered on social media for his lack of research. He's attacked Islam using a similar approach and should feel embarrassed at the results

    It’s clear that the he is simply responding out of a need to be opposed to what you said, for no other reason then to fire up his followers in a quest to “protect the truth” aka dogma.

    I'm not sure why youtube is removing my comments. I've been trying to ask about the Papias reference and whether it actually says that (i am sire it does, but i was trying to point to a History Valley video which shows the quote where it doesnt appear to say quite that). I'll put the History Valley link in a separate reply below this one and see if iy works this time. It's very relevant to this because it's John Kloppenborg talking about Papias and how tjat might be a reference to Q. Link below, unless youtube deletes it again.

    Apologists exist to apologize for not presenting any evidence, let alone proof, of the deities they espouse to purportedly believe in - with conviction, devoutness and faith!

    So, is it more likely that Papias refers to Q and gThomas, when he talks about these gospels of his?

    "argument from silence" you mean if we have no data to indicate a thing happened then it probably didn't happen? That's a great argument actually

    I actually felt sorry for this creator as he called out your name and you proceeded forward with detached discipline. You have persuasively impacted his beliefs. More deeply, he likes you and he doesn't know what to do with his beliefs or feelings. I give this creator one of the higher grades on engagement because, unlike so many you disassemble into the pit of "utter nonsense," this sweet fellow knows you have the superior argument.
