    I Investigated the Missing Books of the Bible

    Videos mentioned:- https://youtu.be/0mtJLz8Fhrk- https://youtu.be/2rHOS5pDKMU- https://youtu.be/tqjIb6jHWP0Jasher essay: https://substack.com/@blkshpbible/note/p-197362578?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=1sac7zThere are books that used to be in your Bible. They sat between Malachi and Matthew for almost two thousand years, read by the apostles, quoted by Jude, printed in every King James Bible until the early 1800s. Then they disappeared. Almost nobody noticed.In this video I investigate what these books actually are, what's inside them, why serious scholars and church fathers took them seriously for centuries, and what really happened to get them removed. The answer isn't what most people think, and it involves a committee, a printing press, and a five-year public fight that ended with existing copies being pulped and printing plates destroyed.I also give you my verdict as both an academic and a pastor on where these books belong and whether you should be reading them.Topics covered:- The world that produced these books and why- The shape of biblical apocalyptic writing- What happened to the Apocrypha, from Jerome to Luther to 1826- Why the doubt about these books was legitimate- Where they actually belong alongside Bunyan, Tolkien, Lewis, and Blackaby- The Book of Jasher and why most copies floating around today are a deliberate fraudPlus: three member videos on How We Got Our Bible are open to everyone this week.

    Moses vs. Pharaoh; Yawheh vs. Ra - Exodus Was a Throne War

    Get the full research behind this video in my book, Dynasty of Slaves: https://amzn.to/43XkQqbJoin BLK SHP Bible Notes on Substack for the written deep dives: https://blkshpbible.substack.comBefore Moses ever raised his staff in front of Pharaoh, he'd already been erased from Egypt's official history once.This video traces two stories that almost every retelling skips past. The first is political: an exiled general, branded a traitor and written out of the royal record, who came back to demand the release of an enslaved nation. The second is cosmic: a pantheon of gods that had spent centuries collecting worship that was never theirs, watching that worship dismantled one plague at a time.Each of the ten plagues targeted a specific Egyptian deity, from Hapi and the Nile to Ra and the sun itself. Exodus 12:12 names exactly who stood on trial that night: "for I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD."We'll also work through why Pharaoh's heart got hardened, what the historical record from Amenhotep II's reign reveals about what happened after the Exodus, and how a Midianite priest with no stake in Israel's covenant ended up confessing that the LORD is greater than all gods.Two thrones. Ten plagues. One God who never lost the fight.#Exodus #Egyptology #BibleHistory #Moses #TenPlagues #DivineCouncil #Archaeology

    Prehistoric Nomads Got God Right And Civilization Messed It Up

    Every civilization that has ever existed worshipped something. Not most of them — all of them. And for a long time the academic world told us that meant religion evolved upward — that primitive people invented spirits, those spirits became gods, and monotheism came last as the most sophisticated development. On that telling the God of the Bible is a late arrival. A regional answer. One option among many that a small ancient people eventually landed on. That story is wrong. And the evidence that contradicts it has been sitting in the anthropological and archaeological record for over a century. In this video we follow the actual evidence — from the oldest human structure ever discovered, to the most isolated cultures on earth, to the linguistic roots of languages that predate recorded history — and show that the world's most ancient religious expressions don't point toward primitive animism groping upward. They point toward a singular sky father creator, remembered imperfectly but consistently across every continent and every culture that never built a city. And then the cities came. And the Bible tells us exactly what happened next. This is the story of the world's first religion. Where it came from, what happened to it, and why a priest-king in a Canaanite city holding bread and wine is one of the most significant figures in the entire history of human faith.
