What Did Jesus Call God? | Weird Things I Bring Up With Christians


Listen Later

Welcome to weird things I love to bring up with Christians.I’m not here to attack anyone’s faith. I’m not here to be edgy. I had a sprained neck while recording this, so starting a theological street fight would be a strange use of my remaining neck mobility.This episode starts with one simple question:What did Jesus call God?From there, we get into Aramaic, Elah, Elahi, Eloi, the historical Jesus, what Jesus may have actually looked like, and the strange linguistic overlap between the words used for God across Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.Then the rabbit hole gets worse, obviously.We talk about how the Bible became the Bible, why some early Christian texts were left out, what Constantine and Rome had to do with the formation of Christian orthodoxy, the Council of Nicaea, Nag Hammadi, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Judas, Mary Magdalene, and the uncomfortable question of whether Jesus would recognize what later got built in his name.This is not an anti-Christian episode.It is a history episode. A language episode. A lost-gospels episode. A “wait, why did nobody tell me this?” episode.Follow the breadcrumbs. See where they lead.I hope you're doing well btw, in all ways possible homie.
