Video summary

The video centers on an intense debate between two speakers regarding the historical reliability of the Gospels and the resurrection of Jesus, specifically from a Christian perspective that relies heavily on non-canonical texts like Enoch One found in Ethiopian Bibles and Dead Sea Scrolls. The interlocutor challenges the speaker to explain why they believe events prophesied in these ancient writings actually occurred historically, rather than simply accepting them as true because they are written down or agree with other scriptures. While the speaker argues that their version of the Bible is preserved by divine protection due to Ethiopia never being fully colonized and cites archaeological evidence like artifacts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the challenger points out a logical flaw in this reasoning: agreeing texts do not prove historical fact if the authors could have manipulated history to create an illusion of fulfilled prophecy. The core conflict arises when the speaker admits that it is possible for Gospel authors to manufacture stories or alter history to make prophecies appear as though they were being fulfilled, yet simultaneously claims there is no evidence suggesting this actually happened. The challenger presses on how one can be certain such manipulation did not occur if the only supporting documents are those very Gospels under scrutiny. This leads to a circular argument where the speaker insists that because their specific Bible contains Enoch One and matches Dead Sea Scrolls findings, it must be reliable, while conceding that other possibilities exist but dismissing them as unproven without independent verification outside of Christian tradition. As the conversation escalates, frustration mounts on both sides regarding what constitutes valid evidence in a historical context involving religious texts. The speaker repeatedly emphasizes their belief system and reliance on spiritual preservation over empirical proof, stating they do not need to convince anyone because truth is found through faith rather than debate. Meanwhile, the challenger highlights that admitting something is "possible" does not equate to proving it did or didn't happen, noting a cultural difference in how Americans versus others interpret such possibilities during arguments. The dialogue concludes with an impasse where neither party can agree on what counts as objective evidence for historical events described centuries ago, leaving the question of whether the Gospels were corrupted by human invention unresolved between them.

eyes. Maybe I am a Christian. But if Enoch one >> So why do you believe in the resurrection of Jesus? >> Because Enoch one said it would happen. >> And why do you believe that that's true? >> Because it's the oldest. It was found in the Dead Sea. So >> how do you know what happened? Why do you believe it happened? >> It's evidence. It if you if you want to be technical, I wasn't there when the corruption happened. I don't know what was corrupted or not. >> The evidence that I have >> That's not what I'm asking you. >> You said what did you ask me? >> I'll explain to you. So, you're saying in Enoch one, it's prophesized. I'm assuming >> it's prophesized that. >> Okay. Okay. So, it's prophesized it was going to happen. Yeah. >> Correct. >> Okay. Why do you believe it happened? >> Because when I read Enoch, I believe it was true. >> No. No. That's prophecy of it happening. How do you know it happened? Why do you believe it happened? >> Because it's going to happen. And somebody claimed that it did happen. >> No, no. The point is this. Why do you believe the claim it happened? What is convincing? >> Great. Enoch one is a part of my Bible, right? >> No. Okay. >> No, no, listen. Listen to listen. Enoch one is part of my Bible. Enoch one is my my whole Bible. So a part of my Bible is that it happened and Enoch 1 said it would happen. >> Okay. Where's it where does it say it did happen? >> And the corrupt gospels that you're going to go to. >> Okay. And why do you believe they're historically reliable? >> Because someone before me because I wasn't alive added Enoch one which agrees with the gospels. >> No. No. Why do you believe what the bos gospels say? Because Enoch won. >> All right, let me change my question. >> And I believe Enoch won over the gospels. >> Let me rephrase my question. Let me rephrase my question. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um, is it possible that the authors of the Gospels manipulated history to make it look like prophecy was fulfilled? >> Absolutely. >> And how would you know if they did or not? >> I have to be born. Everything is uh So, here's the thing. >> So, you're believing they didn't though. Why not? >> I'm sorry. >> So, right now you believe they didn't do that. I believe that that is possible. >> No, no. You No, not possible. You believe they didn't because you wouldn't believe what they say otherwise. >> What I'm saying is the the Torah I don't believe the Torah was corrupt. >> No, no, no. You're not understanding the question. >> Okay. Okay. Can I >> I don't believe the Gospels was corrupt. Okay. >> But it's possible it could have been corrupt. Yes. >> All right. It's possible the authors of the Gospels could have been manufacturing a history to make the illusion that prophecy was being fulfilled. So just whether or not let's say for for example Enoch one prophesizes a death and resurrection and then the author of the gospels make it look like that happened. They could do that. Yes, >> that's possible. >> Right. How can you be sure they didn't? >> Right. So this is I have to look at the evidence around it. I don't just look at the gospel. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> To make a conclusion. >> So what's the evidence from that? evidence is that Ethiopia was a country that was never colonized fully. Not fully. They still have their old artifacts artifacts. And for some reason, the Most High preserve a old Bible that has Enoch one has a completion in it. And that old Bible was also recently discovered. part of it including Enoch one and the Dead Sea Scrolls which match my oldest Bible. So here's some evidence. What's that have to do with the gospels? >> So I'm looking at the evidence. I said you evidence. >> You ask I'm looking I'll tell you why the evidence you should be looking at >> is are the authors of the Gospels reliable? Is the evidence you should be looking at cuz if the authors of the Gospels are not reliable Yeah. then they could invent self-fulfilled prophecy. But if the evidence that I'm looking at matches what the author of the gospels say, then I believe it's reliable. >> No, but they could have done that to make you think it's reliable. >> Absolutely. >> All right. So, I don't believe that happened. >> Why not? So, if I can evidence to you, for example, if I can evidence to you that the authors of the Gospels were doing that, that they were manufacturing history to act like it was fulfilling prophecy, then you will have to concede that they're not reliable. But I'm saying, look, I'm I'm a I I I seek truth. >> I know. I'm here. >> So, what I'm saying is I'm saying it's possible. >> So, I from your from your perspective, I'll give you evidence. I'll give you evidence from your perspective. And because I'm a man and no one should trust man. Don't even trust me even with my evidence. Trust the most high because he's spirit. I'm saying it's possible from your idea. >> Right. Right. But I believe it actually happened from the evidence that I keep trying to explain to you. >> No, no, no. The problem is you're putting the car before the horse. What you're doing, there's a prophecy about Jesus being crucified and raised in whatever. Okay. In Enoch. >> Correct. >> Okay. And then a gospel writer claims he was crucified and resurrected. And you're saying, "Oh, that makes it true." >> Right. My point more evidence than that. >> What What other evidence do you have besides the gospel? Somebody decided my my the book that I have is 200 AD. Somebody decided to put Enoch in the Gospels. >> Okay. >> So this that is evidence. >> No, it's not. >> Okay. Fair enough. IT'S EV IT'S NOT EVIDENCE FOR YOU. >> NO. NO. >> OKAY. And and with the Torah that you claim is corrupt. With the Torah. No, no, no. With the Torah that you claim that's corrupt. >> Why you keep talking about the Torah? >> Because it goes with the same New Testament. Focus on the gospels. They're the ones that act like >> it's a Torah not correct. >> Where where do you find the Where do you find >> Torah not correct? >> Why do you find the evidence of Jesus being um crucified and resurrected in the Bible? Where do you find this happening happening historically? Where do we look? >> Can I ask you a question real quick? >> Is the Torah corrupt as well? >> Just real quick. >> Are you asking me is the Old Testament corrupt? Yes. >> Okay. So that makes my answer change because you're asking me a question. I want to find the question. >> Why was Okay, one second. One second. One second. One second. >> Why would I think >> I was going to use that? >> No, to prove that Jesus was crucified and resurrected. >> No, no, no, no. But >> so I CAN'T USE NOTHING. >> YEAH. >> NO, NO. I CAN'T USE NO EVIDENCE. I GET IT NOW. >> NO. That's not it. OKAY. >> OKAY. I DON'T NO EVIDENCE I CAN EVER HAVE. OKAY. I GET IT. >> NO. NO. NO. Let let me help you. >> Can't use the Torah. Can't use Dead Sea Scrolls. CAN'T USE ENOCH. CAN'T USE THAT. I ONLY CAN USE THE QURAN AFTER IT. >> OKAY. >> I didn't mention the Quran. What are you talking about? >> OKAY. WHAT EVIDENCE? >> IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT EXISTS? >> OKAY. LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, >> HOLD UP, HOLD UP. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT EVER EXISTS THAT THE Gospels could possibly not be corrupt? >> Yes. What >> is See, that's why you need to listen. >> What's that got to do with Is there any evidence that I can even make up TO YOU THAT WOULD BE EVIDENCE THAT THE gospels are not correct? >> Um, >> no. NO. EXACTLY. SO, NO MATTER WHAT MY ANSWER IS, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER IS NO. >> NO, but here's the thing. >> SO, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY EVIDENCE AND NO MATTER WHAT I SAY IS EVIDENCE THAT THE GOSPELS ARE NOT CORRUPTED, THE ANSWER IS THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE YOUR ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT EXISTS THAT THE GOSPELS ARE NOT CORRUPTED. Understand one thing. Let me help you. >> What the >> But here's the problem you have. Should I explain THE PROBLEM? >> I KNOW. I GOT A BIG PROBLEM. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE POSSIBLE. >> OKAY. I got a huge problem. >> No, THAT'S NOT THE CASE. >> YOU'RE RIGHT. >> THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I mean, your nervous laugh isn't going to help you. Let me help you. >> You're the only one laughing. >> Okay, here's the thing. You see, I'm not asking you to convince me of anything. >> I KNOW I CAN'T. >> I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO. >> THERE'S NO EVIDENCE. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO CONVINCE YOU. BUT I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO. BUT I'M NOT ASKING you to. >> YOU'RE SAYING WHAT'S MY EVIDENCE, RIGHT? >> NO. DID YOU ASK ME TO EVER ASKED NO, NO, NO. I'll explain what it is. No, no, no. THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID. YOU DIDN'T ASK. YOU KNOW, YOU ON CAMERA. >> NO, that's not what I said to you. >> No, on camera. >> Oh, understand. Let's understand something. I think you've got this twisted. Okay. Okay. This conversation has nothing to do with me. First thing, okay? >> This is not you. I'm not asking you to convince me of anything. All right? >> I'm just showing you the evidence why I think you know I can't convince you. >> Okay. Let me help you. I'm not asking you to convince me. I'm I don't care. I'm not >> I'm not trying to. I'm just answering your question. Can can you just be quiet just a second? Okay. Okay. >> I don't I'm not asking you to convince me of anything and I don't care what you think about Islam. These are two these are two principles. Okay. Understand those when you answer my questions. Okay. My question was to you why you believe why you believe. Now if you think the gospels is evidence for you, you can tell me why you believe in it. That's what I'm asking you. Okay. So your response was um using this Ethiopian Bible in >> I said evidence first because of the evidence. >> One second. And your evidence was what? Yeah. >> That in Enoch it talks about Jesus being crucified and resurrected. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> That's my evidence. >> That's the claim. Okay. >> And then I asked you, how do you know what was prophesized in Enoch happened in history? Okay. That was my question to you. Then you went >> What did I say? >> Then we went to the Gospels. >> No. What did I say to your question? >> You said I'll say this was your response. Okay. You said the go what the gospels say confirms what Enoch says. That's what you said. >> And then I said your claim could be possible that one THAT WAS I ALWAYS SAID THAT HIS IDEA could be possible. >> No no no. I said this is my evidence. >> No. No. No. You you you're again putting the horse before the cart. Okay. So you said because the gospels agree with Enoch, it makes Enoch true. This is what you said. >> That's my evidence. >> All right. Then I asked you, is it possible that the authors of the Gospels manufactured history to make it look like prophecy was being fulfilled? >> And what did I say? Yeah, it's possible. Okay. >> Right. Right. Right. So, it's possible. Okay. Right. All right. It's possible. >> Okay. >> Again, for the 100 times. >> ALL RIGHT. IT'S POSSIBLE. OKAY. OKAY. And then And then the next And then the next question is, how would you know if they did or didn't? >> WHEN I SAY IT'S POSSIBLE, I ain't believe it DIDN'T HAPPEN. BUT I AIN'T IN WHEN I SAY IT'S POSSIBLE. For the record, every time somebody say it's possible, because I don't know how Y'ALL THINK IN ENGLAND, >> BUT IN AMERICA, EVERY TIME YOU SAY SOMETHING'S POSSIBLE, THE OPPOSITION IS POSSIBLE. >> SO WHEN YOU ASK ME A QUESTION, HOLD UP. WHEN YOU ASK ME A QUESTION, HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS THING COME THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE OR THE HORSE BEFORE THE CART? WAS IT THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? I DON'T. IT'S POSSIBLE THE CHICKEN CAME BEFORE THE EGG. AND IT'S POSSIBLE THE EGG CAME BEFORE THE CHICKEN. I BELIEVE THE CHICKEN BECAME FOR THE EGG. YOU BELIEVE THE EGG CAME FROM THE CHICKEN. OKAY. IT'S POSSIBLE. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS IN AMERICA. >> IT DON'T MEAN THAT IN IT DON'T MEAN HERE IN THE US. IT MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW Y'ALL DEBATE, BUT I SAID IT'S POSSIBLE. >> ALL RIGHT. AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? How would you know >> if they did or not? >> OKAY. >> HOW DO I KNOW? I BELIEVE BY THE EVIDENCE THAT ONE CAME BEFORE THE OTHER. I BELIEVE THE CHICKEN CAME BEFORE the egg. IS IT POSSIBLE the egg that CAME BEFORE THE CHICKEN? POSSIBLY. >> BUT MY CHICKEN, >> THAT DEAD CHICKEN THAT I BELIEVE CAME BEFORE THE EGG, I FOUND IT IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS. >> The chicken WAS IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS. >> PC on Tik Tok. Can I have a picture with you? Quickly. >> I felt like I was on Tik Tok. >> Get out of here. Keep asking me the same question. Is it possible?
