Peter M. HoffmanGUEST
And, and, uh, uh, the, you may not know this about Paul, but Paul is a real historian freak about Jesus, and he has very, very strong ideas.
Peter M. HoffmanGUEST
W- he worked as part of the Jesus Seminar.
Peter M. HoffmanGUEST
He wrote his own biography of Jesus.
Peter M. HoffmanGUEST
So he's a man who really focuses on Jesus.
Chuck MisslerHOST
See, they had courted popularity by modifying God's requirements, but that backfired.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Is there a parallel? Are ministers today modifying God's requirements? Have you paid attention to the Jesus Seminar where they vote on what Christ really said and didn't? I'm always amused by those articles about the so-called Jesus Seminar.
Chuck MisslerHOST
You get the impression that if they cast enough votes, Christ would resign.
Chuck MisslerHOST
The politically correct Bibles and so forth.
Robert PerryHOST
Well, this is absolutely not my idea.
Robert PerryHOST
Just a few years into my reading of Jesus Scholarship, I discovered the Jesus Seminar.
Robert PerryHOST
And they used that very term, voiceprint.
Robert PerryHOST
They were all about... based on the image of the red letter Bible, they were about trying to figure out which of those letters should be red, which of those letters should be merely pink, which should be even worse, gray or black.
Skip HeitzigHOST
Some of you are familiar with him.
Skip HeitzigHOST
He was part of that Jesus Seminar group of so-called scholars.
Skip HeitzigHOST
He said this, Jesus may have been a carpenter, but he was probably an illiterate and belonged to a low caste of artisans.
Skip HeitzigHOST
He did not preach salvation from sin through sacrifice.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
This is a Gnostic gobbledygook that has nothing to do with a biblical view in which men and women are ontologically equal.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
It's hard for me to believe that for Example, the Jesus Seminar scholars, they just love the Gospel of Thomas, and they loathe the Gospel of John.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
I guess they love anti-female rhetoric or something.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
The other thing that we see is that they have a love affair now with the Gospel of Judas.
Gary HabermasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In total, counting duplicates in the separate texts, up to 13 group appearances are mentioned in the literature.
Gary HabermasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
three of these from the creedal tradition in first corinthians fifteen three seven which likely preceded paul's conversion the group sightings together indicate that in a variety of events and circumstances many people reported seeing jesus at different times and locations As cited above, even the Jesus Seminar and John Dominic Crosson cite from four to up to seven texts that report independently attested group appearances to Jesus' disciples, plus a couple of sources for the two followers on the way to Emmaus, meaning that these group appearances are multiply attested, as is also the case for Jesus' appearances to individuals.
PaulogiaHOST
First, I would dispute the notion that there are any duplicates of resurrection appearances in the New Testament.
PaulogiaHOST
Each seems to be unique, and not multiply attested without some credulous strain.
Michael HortonHOST
That really is remarkable.
Michael HortonHOST
So then what accounts for Paul's religious faith? There's a new documentary out featuring many of the Jesus Seminar guests.
Rod RosenbladtHOST
You're being very nice.
Rod RosenbladtHOST
It's a documentary.
Greg LanierGUEST
If anyone's heard of any of these, Gospel of Thomas is the most famous.
Greg LanierGUEST
It was popularized in the 80s with the Jesus Seminar and so forth.
Greg LanierGUEST
114 sayings of Jesus, chiefly in the Coptic form, which I have right here, by the way.
Greg LanierGUEST
And this is a gift from my friend Noah Hawkins.

Sean McDowellHOST
Some of these stories are just crazy.
Sean McDowellHOST
Like almost they're just invented how dramatic they are and interesting.
Sean McDowellHOST
But before we get there, like when I was in high school and college in the 90s, it was all about the Jesus Seminar, these scholars who are voting pink and red and gray beads about the words of Jesus.
Sean McDowellHOST
You have the fifth gospel.
Marcus GilletteGUEST
A lot of stories.
Sandie SedgbeerHOST
So book number nine is The Five Gospels, The Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus, edited by Robert Funk and the Jesus Seminar, 1993.
Marcus GilletteGUEST
two books.
Marcus GilletteGUEST
Uh, this is the sec.
Sandie SedgbeerHOST
we're good with that,
Marcus GilletteGUEST
you know, doesn't matter.
Marcus GilletteGUEST
And kind of careful what kind of crowd I share that with but But that book, getting back to the Jesus seminars and Professor Funk being the editor of these two books, I really did resonate with Jesus' teachings, though.
Marcus GilletteGUEST
It wasn't about Jesus at all.
Chuck MisslerHOST
See, they had courted popularity by modifying God's requirements, but that backfired.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Is there a parallel? Are ministers today modifying God's requirements? Have you paid attention to the Jesus Seminar where they vote on what Christ really said and didn't? I'm always amused by those articles about the so-called Jesus Seminar.

Chuck MisslerHOST
The politically correct Bibles, and so forth.
