Ancient translations of 1 Tim 2:12: how authenteo was rendered

Q&A: Bar Kokhba rebellion as evidence against preterism — events worse than AD 70 occurred after it

Viewer William Williams raises the Bar Kokhba revolt as a counter to the preterist claim that AD 70 was the worst event in history.

The only detailed source for Apollonius is Philostratus, writing around 215–225 AD — approximately 125 years after Apollonius's death. Philostratus himself expresses uncertainty about details, contradicts himself (e.g., says Apollonius had incredible memory at 100, then says he doesn't know how old he was when he died), and was commissioned by Empress Julia Domna to promote Apollonius worship in Rome.

Ehrman says Apollonius 'aroused opposition among ruling authorities of Rome and was put on trial' — but he was simply acquitted and released. Ehrman's phrase 'they could not kill his soul' is rhetorically misleading; no one tried to kill him, no one succeeded, and his body was not executed. A man being tried and acquitted is not parallel to Jesus being crucified.

Jim's claim about Christmas trees: first-century Romans practiced Christmas trees, first-century Christians adopted it, and the New Testament contains a specific passage telling them to stop — but they ignored it

Fifth major claim Mike refutes — biblical origin of Christmas trees

Why Jesus didn't address homosexuality directly — and what he did say about marriage

Winger responds to the argument that Jesus' silence on homosexuality implies it's not a serious issue.

Names are geographically and temporally specific — foreign fabricators could not have replicated Palestinian name patterns

1 Corinthians 15 creed - pre-Pauline formula dated within 5 years of crucifixion

Earliest written testimony to resurrection appearances

Tacitus (Annals, 109 AD) as non-Christian confirmation of early Christian persecution, crucifixion of Christ under Pontius Pilate, and the movement's origin in Judea

Mike quotes Tacitus as an external, non-Christian source confirming early persecution

1 Clement 5 (c. 95-97 AD) — non-apologetic, community-memory reference to Peter and Paul both suffering and dying for their faith

First extra-biblical source for Peter's (and Paul's) martyrdom

Unlikely origin of the disciples' belief in the deity of Jesus — fifth argument

McLatchie introduces the argument that the disciples' belief in Jesus's deity is historically inexplicable without the resurrection, given the Jewish context.

Martyrdom of Peter and Paul as evidence for the sincerity of resurrection belief

McLatchie cites the willingness of the apostles to die for their testimony as evidence they genuinely believed in the resurrection.

Suetonius's reference to "Chrestus" in Life of Claudius possibly refers to Jesus — but Suetonius is chronologically challenged if it does

Discussing Suetonius as a possible extra-biblical source for Jesus

Suetonius's report of Claudius expelling Jews from Rome matches Acts 18 — illustrating how omissions in one source don't prove falsehood; Josephus doesn't mention this expulsion

Cross-referencing Suetonius and Acts; illustrating argument from silence

Preterism — all Bible prophecy fulfilled by 70 AD; Mike disagrees and will debate it on Remnant Radio

A viewer asks: if Revelation was all about Rome, what would be the point of it?
