The Birth of Jesus Christ is part of the Bringham Young Continuing Education series Our Savior in the Gospels. It was broadcast in 2006.
The show consists of 4 men sitting around in a room with pictures of Jesus on the wall. They are Brent Top, W Jeffrey Marsh, David Whitchurch, and Kelly Ogden. The guys talk to each other and occasionally read scripture to each other. Apparently Brigham Young is a very religious place.
Some of the highlights of their discussion include.
- Luke got his nativity scene when he visited Jesus' mother Mary when she lived in Ephesus, where she moved after Jesus was crucified. Of course there is no evidence that Jesus' mother ever lived in Ephesus,nor that the person called Luke actually wrote the Gospel of Luke.
- The gospels are testimonies from eye witnesses. This is rather questionable since we know some of the gospels were written nearly 100 years after Jesus died. No serious scholar today believes that the gospel writers were eye witnesses.
- The Angel Gabriel is actually Noah returned. ???
I'm sure they said more. But at this point I tuned out. |
