Did a fourth-century church council invent Christianity as we know it? It's one of the most popular claims made by skeptics today — that the divinity of Jesus and the contents of the Bible weren't ancient convictions, but later inventions, decided by committee at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. In this the 3rd episode of Can I Trust the Bible?, Wes and Andy head to Turkey and Italy, going straight to the source to find out whether there's any truth to these claims. Did the Council of Nicaea really vote on the Bible, or invent Christ's divinity? The answers might surprise you. Join us on this next adventure as we dig into one of church history's most misunderstood moments, separating myth from fact, and following the evidence where it leads. youtu.be/lpsKNd8tqHI?si…

@beholdisrael “しかし、私たちの罪のために傷つき、 血を流したのです。 彼は私たちに平安を与えようとして、 進んで懲らしめを受けました。 彼がむち打たれたので、私たちはいやされました。” イザヤ書 53:5 JCB bible.com/bible/83/isa.5…

Shalom from Japan! When I first came to faith in Yeshua the Messiah, I was lost in a sea of events and holidays I had never celebrated, with names unfamiliar to me. Easter was one of them. In fact, the modern Hebrew name for it – Pascha – was my biggest riddle. Later, I discovered that it is the Greek name for Passover. In my Jewish Israeli mind, it made sense that since the events took place during Passover, they would be connected to that name. However, when I began to travel in the United States, the name “Easter” kept coming up. “What is this all about?” I asked myself. I went to the books and found that the most commonly cited explanation comes from the 8th-century English monk Bede. He wrote that: ▪️ The name derives from a pagan Anglo-Saxon goddess called Eostre (or Ostara). ▪️ She was associated with spring, renewal, and fertility. ▪️ The month in which the Christian celebration occurred was called Eosturmonath, named after her. Over time, when Christianity spread in northern Europe, the celebration of the resurrection adopted the existing local name. Rabbits and eggs were also later cultural additions to the season, as they represent birth, renewal, and reproduction. Much of the above may be interesting to see and experience, but to the average Jewish person, adding a new holiday can feel somewhat foreign. So I had to dig deeper, only to discover that there was never any need for a new holiday. If the purpose is to celebrate Yeshua’s resurrection, then it is already embedded in a feast that was waiting for its fulfillment during that Passover season: the Feast of Firstfruits. It is the third of the seven feasts of the Lord listed in Leviticus 23:9–14. Verses 11–12, in particular, identify both the timing and the offering: “He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord.” Paul the apostle wrote: “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:20) So here you have it – a perfect fulfillment of an already existing appointed time. No need for new names or additional traditions. Have a blessed weekend, remembering the real Passover Lamb who was slain and how, on the day after the Sabbath, He became the Firstfruits! Thankful for His sacrificial death, empowered by His resurrection, and awaiting His return, Amir

@Cpt_TAKAHASHI @DUNBAR74 Hey brothers, i’m in Seguin just outside San Antonio, Texas. The advice you just got on Texas is really good. Just confirming it. Semper Fi!

@DUNBAR74 Thank you! Semper Fi

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 Jesus Christ paid the price for all of us to go to heaven.

@NevEngi “実に神は、ひとり子をさえ惜しまず与えるほどに、この世界を愛してくださいました。それは、神の御子を信じる者が、だれ一人滅びず、永遠のいのちを得るためです。” ヨハネの福音書 3:16 JCB bible.com/bible/83/jhn.3…

自分の人生が飛んでもなく地獄だったから、救いを求めて幾つもの神と呼べる物の本や聖典や仏典を読んだことがある。 結果、私は神というもの触れたあとの温もりを見出すようにはなったけど、神に「耐えられない思いを託すだけ」になってしまった。 私は貴方が共にあることは疑いようがないから、道を踏み外すことはないと思うくらいには信心深く、貴方が私の望みを叶えこの地獄から抜け出せるよう手助けすることはないということも飲み込めるようになった。 周りの人たちからの助けを得て、自分で歩いて地獄から抜け出せと言われているよう。 大いなる何かは、私を通して「私に人々の善良さを見せなさい」と言われているようにも感じている。

@tourouken555 It’s just time for the annual migration of idiots. Like locusts they will move on eventually.

🇯🇵 日本で開催された「反人種差別」集会。 「私は差別に抗う」をスローガンに掲げているのに、 参加者のほとんどはヨーロッパの左派外国人たちで、日本人の姿はほぼありません…。 誰が煽動し、何のために日本にまで来て踊っているのか？

Actually, love California with some amazing people there. But it fell into one party liberal rule decades ago, and it’s heartbreaking to see just how dirty it’s become. Out of control fraud, crime, taxes. Homeless people everywhere. Hopefully California can be returned to its former glory one day.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

@airi_fact_555 Just laugh at them and double down, everyone should love their own country.

海外の皆んな、教えて欲しい､､( ･᷄-･᷅ ) 「日本人ファースト」って言葉は、海外では「自分の国を第一に考えるのは当然」という当たり前の感覚なのに… 日本人がそれを口にした途端に「差別主義者」とレッテル貼りされて、国会議員レベルで糾弾されるのはなんでだろう…

@tanomuzeA Nope, could care less what others think.

🇺🇸現在のアメリカにおいて、 ノンケの白人男性が1番肩身が狭いと 聴くのですが、それは本当ですか？ その理由は何ですか？

@zundamotisuki Yes, they are like cockroaches, they are everywhere

日本はテレビが左翼に侵食されています 海外ではどうですか？

@SonohennoKuma We haven’t even gotten into Tex-Mex food and the amazing food are Bros from Mexico brought to Texas and across the US.

一体、誰が「アメリカには文化が無い」「食にこだわりなんてない」などと、馬鹿な嘘を言ったのだろう？？ 新しい友人達が沢山つけてくれたコメントを見れば、彼等彼女らが豊かな文化と、それに対する誇りと思い入れを持っているかは明白だ。 素晴らしいものを教えてくれて、本当にありがとう！

@hallocopen_gr You are welcome to visit anytime. Japan and its people are absolutely awesome. We want the best for you and it’s time for Japan to rise again. Cheering you on, from Texas!

もし僕が精神疾患を患う前で 歳もあと10歳若く、英語が話せたら妻と子を連れて渡米する というのもありだったなぁと思ってしまうくらいの衝撃を受けてる アメリカの皆さん、知らない世界や情報を教えてくれてありがとうございます🙇

@Ame_Wonderfour You all are always welcome here in Texas. I have loved learning about the term, “cheese violence”.

質問🙋‍♀️。 アメリカの印象は変わりましたか？

@TKHero1994 another good one @Helodriver20

“I’m your huckleberry”

@zundamotisuki Tough to have conversations with people who are following their profit Muhammad who married six-year-olds and raped nine-year-olds. They come smiling until they get enough power. Then they come with a sword, they are there to take over.

『イスラム教徒と対話を』とか言う人が散見されますが... 誰がそれに成功しましたか？ そもそも無効に対話する意思などあるのですか？

@2ray_degenemax @Benny_IA Brother, I love everyone. I abhor what is evil. Your stance with Jesus Christ is between you and him. I’m just sharing both the military and the gun culture here in Texas. Faith in Jesus Christ, love for family, and a silly number of firearms at home.

@OperationLogos @Benny_IA I will be completely honest here. I'm not really part of any religion, but I do respect faithful Christians for making honesty, kindness, integrity, etc. Their fundamental value. You may not like me for my stance, but I like your people for your great morale.

アメリカの田舎でマスタングとAR-15を弄るだけの生活がしたい。

@Benny_IA @2ray_degenemax 👊🏼🇺🇸

@OperationLogos @2ray_degenemax It's not like I'm some hardliner of any particular religion or atheism. We're cool bro. 🤣

@maranatakuro Naval special warfare style evangelism.

@twisokhou That is so awesome. We all have to get together and you teach us swords and we will teach you firearms. 👊🏼🇺🇸

@yama3tequila Can I recommend following the real US marshal for tombstone, Arizona. 👇🏼 @Helodriver20
