In my last blog post, I gave the dates I planned to post videos this month. You might have noticed that I posted nothing this month. It turned out to be an unusually busy month. But the main reason is that my computer broke--twice! Now that I'm up and running again, let's try this again. The current plan for April....
Early Christianity on: The Omnipotence of God the Father (Apr 6)
Early Christianity on: The Perfect Goodness of God the Father (Apr 20)
After these videos, there are 6 more videos in this series on God the Father.
Blessings and so forth!

Update - March 2018
I hope you have been enjoying all the videos so far in 2018. There are 8 more about God the Father.
In the month of March, I am planning to release 3 videos:
- Early Christianity on: The Omnipotence of God the Father (Mar 2)
- Early Christianity on: The Perfect Goodness of God the Father (Mar 16)
- Early Christianity on: The Omniscience of God the Father (Mar 30)
Again, it feels very good to get back into sharing videos. I'm excited about finishing this series about God the Father before summer.

Early Christianity on: The All-Sufficiency of God the Father (Full Script)
Too lazy to read? Watch the video!

Early Christianity on
the All-Sufficiency God the Father
Post-Apostolic Church
INTRO
This is the sixth video in a series on what
the Pre-Nicene Christians believed about the Divinity. And this is the third
video about God the Father.
What have
we heard about what God needs? Does God need mankind in some
way? Does God require that mankind worship Him? Or does God need nothing from mankind, that is, if mankind did not exist, would
God lack anything? The early Christians
wrote that God is all-sufficient, that He does not need or require anything
from mankind and does not depend on us.
Let’s take a look.
GOD HAS NO NEED OF ANYTHING
Aristides wrote,
Now when I say that he
is “perfect,” this means that there is not in him any defect, and he is not in
need of anything but all things are in need of him. (Aristides.
AD 125. ANF, vol 9, page 264.)
But one
may ask, if God needs nothing, then why does God ask us to serve and worship
Him? Does He need those from us? This is a valid question. Irenaeus wrote,
Therefore, in the
beginning did God form Adam, not as if He stood in need of man, but that He
might have [someone] upon whom to confer His benefits…. Nor did He stand in need of our service when
He ordered us to follow Him; but He this way bestowed salvation upon ourselves.
For to follow the Savior is to be a
partaker of salvation, and to follow light is to receive light. But those who are in light do not themselves
illumine the light, but are illumined and revealed by it: they do certainly
contribute nothing to it, but, receiving the benefit, they are illumined by the
light. Thus, also, service [rendered] to
God does indeed profit God nothing, nor has God need of human obedience; but He
grants to those who follow and serve Him life and incorruption and eternal
glory, bestowing benefit upon those who serve [Him], because they do serve Him,
and on His followers, because they do follow Him; but [He] does not receive any
benefit from them: for He is rich, perfect, and in need of nothing. But for this reason does God demand service from men, in order that, since He
is good and merciful, He may benefit those who continue in His service. For, as much as God is in need of nothing, so
much does man stand in need of fellowship with God. For this is the glory of man, to continue and
remain permanently in God’s service. Why
also did the Lord say to His disciples, “You have not chosen Me, but I have
chosen you.* ” (Irenaeus. AD 180.
ANF, vol 1, page 478.)
* John 15:16.
Clement of Alexandria said similarly, writing,
And for this reason we
rightly do not sacrifice to God, who, needing nothing, supplies all men with
all things. But we glorify Him who gave
Himself in sacrifice for us, we also sacrificing ourselves…. For in our salvation alone God delights. We do not therefore, and with reason also,
offer sacrifice to Him who is not overcome by pleasures, inasmuch as the fumes
of the smoke stop far beneath, and do not even reach the thickest clouds…. Then, the Deity neither is in need of
anything, nor loves pleasure, or gain, or money, being full, and supplying all
things to everything that has received being and [to everything that] has
wants. And neither by sacrifices nor
offerings, nor on the other hand by glory and honor, is the Deity won over; nor
is He influenced by any such things. (Clement
of Alexandria. AD 195. ANF, vol 2, page 526-527.)
Because
God is all-sufficient, mankind cannot bargain with Him because there is nothing
God wants from us that He does not already have.
SCRIPTURES: GOD NEEDS NOTHING
Paul said to the Greek philosophers in Athens,
The God who made the
world and everything in it—He is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in
shrines made by hands. Neither is He
served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives
everyone life and breath and all things.
(Acts 17:24-25)
God Himself speaks through Asaph’s psalm,
Hear, my people, and I
will speak to you, O Israel: and I will testify to you: I am God, your
God. I will not admonish you on account
of you sacrifices; for your whole-burnt-offerings are before me
continually. I will take no steers out
of your house, nor male goats out of your flocks. For all the wild beasts of the thicket are
mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine. If I should be hungry, I will not tell you:
for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay
your vows to the Most High. And call
upon Me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify
Me. (Ps 50:7-15, Brenton)
CONCLUSION
Our service and worship to God profits Him
nothing, just as Irenaeus said. But this
does not mean we should love God in word only.
We serve, worship, and
obey God because it benefits us by remaining in God’s grace and salvation. As Irenaeus said, we still follow God and
live in obedience to Him, and as Clement of Alexandria said, we sacrifice
ourselves to God just as Christ sacrificed Himself for us.
Therefore, to the degree that God is in need
of nothing from mankind, mankind is in complete and desperate need of God. So sacrifice your praises to God and even
your whole self to Him.
Blessings
and so forth.

Comparing the Septuagint and the Masoretic Using Matthew 4-5 (Full Script)
Too lazy to read? Watch the video!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUV7X6mi6LY
Septuagint or Masoretic
– Matthew 4-5
Post-Apostolic Church
INTRO
Happy Septuagint Day! Let’s continue comparing the Hebrew Masoretic
with the Greek Septuagint by going through the New Testament and seeing which
manuscript family the writers used when quoting from the Old Testament. In this video, we will be looking at Matthew
chapters 4 to 5. The running count of
verses will continue from the last video.
But this time, we will add a category for when a New Testament quotation
agrees with both the Masoretic and the Septuagint.
MATTHEW 4:4
Matthew 4:4 is about Jesus’ response to
Satan’s temptations. It reads,
Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Matt 4:4 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Deuteronomy 8:3. The Masoretic reads,
Man does not live by
bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Jehovah. (Deut 8:3 (ASV))
The Masoretic says “everything” instead of “every
word,” but this is OK, because both “word” and “thing” are implied by the
Hebrew. Remember that Jehovah, Yahweh,
and the LORD are all different ways to say the same thing in the Hebrew. However, Matthew said “God” and not any of
these.
The Septuagint reads,
Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Deut 8:3 (Brenton))
Notice that the Septuagint explicitly includes
“word” here. [Greek is rhema which is
not “word” (logos), but means utterance which is more general than
“words.”] But the thing to take note of
is that it says “God” instead of Jehovah, Yahweh, or the LORD. Matthew more closely follows the Septuagint
there. In both the Hebrew and Greek, Matthew switches around the
order of the words. But other than that,
his words are the exact same in the Septuagint.
[Verses: 7. Both: 0. LXX: 3. MT: 2.]
[Verses: 7. Both: 0. LXX: 3. MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 4:6
Matthew 4:6 is about when Satan quoted
Scripture in order to tempt Jesus. It
reads,
He shall give his
angels charge concerning you. And, on
their hands they shall bear you up, lest you happen to dash your foot against a
stone. (Matt 4:6 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Psalms 91:11-12. The Masoretic reads,
He will give his angels
charge over you. They shall bear you up
in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Ps 91:11-12 (ASV))
The Masoretic reads nearly identical to
Matthew’s reading. The only difference
is that the Masoretic did not include “happen.”
Because the Septuagint numbers the Psalms
differently, this is a quotation from Psalms 90:11-12, and it reads,
He shall give his
angels charge concerning you. They shall
bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a
stone. (Ps 90:11-12 (Brenton))
In the Septuagint, it includes “at any time”
which is the exact same Greek word Matthew used which the ASV translated as
“happen.” Because this word is missing in the Masoretic and because
Matthew’s quotation is identical to the Septuagint, he follows the Septuagint’s
reading.
[Verses:
8. Both: 0. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 4:7
Matthew 4:7 is about Jesus’ response to
Satan’s temptation. It reads,
You shall not make
trial of the Lord your God. (Matt 4:7
(ASV))
This is a quotation from Deuteronomy
6:16. The Masoretic reads,
You shall not tempt
Jehovah your God. (Deut 6:16 (ASV))
The Septuagint reads,
You shall not tempt the
Lord your God. (Deut 6:16 (Brenton))
The ASV translated the word “trial” instead of
“tempt,” but these are the same words.
Since all three passages agree, Matthew’s reading follows the Septuagint
and the Masoretic.
[Verses:
9. Both: 1. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 4:10
Matthew 4:10 is about what Jesus said to Satan
when being tempted. It reads,
You shall worship the
Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
(Matt 4:10 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Deuteronomy
6:13. The Masoretic reads,
You shall fear Jehovah
your God; and him shall you serve. (Deut
6:13 (ASV))
The second half in the Masoretic says nothing
about serving God ONLY.
The Septuagint reads,
You will fear the Lord
your God, and him only will you serve.
(Deut 6:13 (Brenton))
Interestingly, though Brenton translated
“only” in this verse, it is not there in the Septuagint either. Both the Masoretic and the Septuagint say to fear God; however, Matthew said to
worship God. For some reason, Jesus said
“worship” instead of quoting “fear” from the Old Testament passage, probably
because worship is what Satan asked for in the previous verse. So in this case, the Masoretic and the Septuagint
agree with each other, but they are not the same as Matthew’s quotation. This is because I believe Jesus’ words are intentionally different, He is loosely
following both the Septuagint and the Masoretic.
[Verses: 10.
Both: 2. LXX: 4. MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 4:15-16
Matthew 4:15-16 are about when Jesus moved
from Nazareth to Capernaum. It reads,
The land of Zebulun and
the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles, the people that sat in darkness saw a great light, and to them that
sat in the region and shadow of death, to them did light spring up. (Matt 4:15-16 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Isaiah 9:1-2. The Masoretic reads,
The land of Zebulun and
the land of Naphtali ,
but in the latter time has he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond
the Jordan , Galilee of the nations.
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. They that dwelt in the land of the shadow of
death, upon them has the light shined.
(Is 9:1-2 (ASV))
The Septuagint reads,
O land
of Zebulun , land
of Naphtali , and the rest inhabiting
the sea-coast, and the land beyond the Jordan ,
Galilee of the Gentiles. O people walking in darkness, behold a great
light! You that dwell in the region and
shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
(Is 9:1-2 (Brenton))
The Septuagint says the people are walking in
darkness while Matthew says the people are sitting in darkness. Also, the phrase following Zebulun and Naphtali and preceding the Jordan is
different between them all. Which reading is Matthew
following? In some ways neither and in
some ways both. Let’s say that Matthew
is following both, pulling from both Old Testament manuscript families.
[Verses:
11. Both: 3. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 5:21
Matthew 5:21 is part of the Sermon on the
Mount. In His teaching on murder and
anger, Jesus quotes the Old Testament.
He said,
You have heard that it
was said to them of old time, “You shall not kill;” and whosoever shall kill
shall be in danger of the judgment.
(Matt 5:1 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy
5:17. The Masoretic reads,
You shall not
kill. (Ex 20:13, Deut 5:17 (ASV))
The Septuagint reads,
You shall not
kill. (Ex 20:13, Deut 5:17 (Brenton))
Of course, being such a short verse and part
of the Ten Commandments, also called Decalogue, we should expect that all
manuscripts of Scripture would keep this commandment unchanged through all the
centuries and millennia and copyists. All
manuscripts are in agreement.
[Verses:
12. Both: 4. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 5:27
Matthew 5:27 is in the very same
situation. In Jesus’ teaching on
adultery and lust, He said,
You have heard it was
said, “You shall not commit adultery.”
(Matt 5:27 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Exodus 20:14. The Masoretic reads,
You shall not commit
adultery. (Ex 20:14 (ASV))
Both Exodus 20:14 and Deuteronomy 5:18 in the
Septuagint read,
You shall not commit
adultery. (Ex 20:14, Deut 5:18
(Brenton))
Jesus’ quotation of Exodus 20:14 agrees in all
manuscripts.
[Verses:
13. Both: 5. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
The reason why Deut 5:18 doesn’t appear here
like it did with “You shall not kill” is because Deut 5:18 is different in the
Masoretic. The ASV and KJV show the
different. There, there is the small
mark of difference which the ASV and KJV translate as, “Neither shall you
commit adultery.” In short, Ex 20:14-17
is SLIGHTLY different from Deut 5:18-21 in the Masoretic. In the Septuagint, they are the same. This makes no difference in this video
because Ex 20 is a sufficient place to find Jesus’ quotation.
MATTHEW
5:31, 5:33
Matthew 5:31 and 5:33 look like quotations
from the Law. However, Jesus doesn’t
quote them directly, but refers to them by condensing them into fewer words
without changing the meaning. Matthew 5:31 is a condensation of
Deuteronomy 24:1. Matthew 5:33 is a
condensation of Exodus 19:12, Numbers 30:2, and Deuteronomy 23:21. These verses do not help us compare the
Septuagint and the Masoretic because they are not direct quotations. We will skip them.
Matthew 5:31 is in the same context and begins
Jesus’ teachings on divorce. He said,
It was
said also, “Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of
divorcement.” (Matt 5:31 (ASV))
This is a reference, not quotation from Deuteronomy
24:1. Jesus doesn’t specifically quote
it. The Hebrew Masoretic and the Greek
Septuagint read the same way in Deuteronomy 24:1 with one exception. The Hebrew says the man and woman get
married. The Greek says the man and
woman live together. This is
inconsequential because I believe the meaning is the exact same, though the
words are different.
Jesus is condensing Deuteronomy 24:1 into fewer
words and without changing the meaning.
Since Jesus isn’t quoting this verse, it will not be counted.
Matthew 5:33 is about keeping your word and
your promises. Jesus said,
Again,
you have heard that it was said to them of old time, “You shall not forswear
yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths.” (Matt 5:33 (ASV))
Same as above.
Jesus condenses Exodus 19:12, Numbers 30:2, and Deuteronomy 23:21.
MATTHEW 5:38
Matthew 5:38 is quotation which begins Jesus’
teaching on non-resistance. He said,
You have heard that it
was said, “An eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth.” (Matt 5:38 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Exodus 21:24, Leviticus
24:20, and Deuteronomy 19:21. Just like
with the previous verses from the Ten Commandments, there is no difference
between any manuscript. The only exception is that Jesus
adds the word “and,” which does not appear in Hebrew nor Greek. But this has very little significance. For example, Jesus could be quoting two separate
statements, as it is shown here denoted by the quotation marks. In the end, all manuscripts agree.
[Verses:
14. Both: 6. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
MATTHEW 5:43
Matthew 5:43 is Jesus’ last quotation in His
Sermon on the Mount. As He begins to
teach about loving your enemies, He said,
You have heard that it
was said, “Love your neighbor” and hate your enemy. (Matt 5:43 (ASV))
This is a quotation from Leviticus 19:18. The Masoretic reads,
You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. (Lev 19:18 (ASV))
The Septuagint reads,
You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. (Lev 19:18
(Brenton))
Jesus just quotes a very small portion of the
verse. And all manuscripts are in
agreement.
[Verses:
15. Both: 7. LXX: 4.
MT: 2.]
CREDITS
That is
enough for now. But we will continue
looking at New Testament quotations from the Old Testament next year. The next time Matthew quotes from the Old Testament
is in chapter 8.
Blessings
and so forth.

Update - February 2018
Videos are back! I'm happy to know that the first video in the series on God the Father was released before the end of January.
At the beginning of January, I had posted in this blog that I would be releasing 9 videos in quick succession. Instead, the number of videos on God the Father will be 11! They will still be 2 weeks apart.
In the month of February, I will release 2 videos:
- Early Christianity on: The Timelessness of God the Father (Feb 2)
- Early Christianity on: The All-Sufficiency of God the Father (Feb 16)
These videos will be about the same length as the first one about understanding God the Father.
--
I'm very thankful that I already recorded the audio for the next video. Because soon after I did, the cedar trees started to spread their pollen, which has been making me feel miserable. And it makes my voice sound terrible and annoying, haha. I'm hoping the environment clears up in the next two weeks so that I can keep recording.

Early Christianity on: Understanding God the Father (Full Script)
Too lazy to read? Watch the video!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqzRPFCWTWQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqzRPFCWTWQ
Early Christianity on
Understanding God the Father
Post-Apostolic Church
INTRO
This is the fourth video in a series on what
the Pre-Nicene Christians believed about the Divinity. And this is the
first video about God the Father.
First of all, understanding God the Father is
not simple. Is fully comprehending Him
even possible? Let’s look at what the
early Christians wrote.
GOD IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Aristides wrote,
The self-same being,
then, who first established and now controls the universe—him do I affirm to be
God who is without beginning and without end, immortal and self-sufficing,
above all passions and infirmities, above anger and forgetfulness and ignorance
and the rest…. He is neither male nor
female. The heavens do not limit him,
but the heavens and all things, visible and invisible, receive their bounds
from him. (Aristides. AD 125.
ANF, vol 9, page 263-264.)
Clement of Alexandria wrote,
The apostle will
testify: “I know a man in Christ, caught up into the third heaven, and from
there into Paradise, who heard unutterable words which it is not lawful for a
man to speak,* ”—implying thus the impossibility of expressing God, and
indicating that what is divine is unutterable by human power. (Clement of Alexandria
* 2Cor 12:2-4
Origen wrote similarly and gave an analogy showing
that understanding God is like understanding the Sun when all a person has seen
is a small lamp.
According to strict
truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured. For
whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by
perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many
degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be. For, as if we were to
see anyone unable to bear a spark of light, or the flame of a very small lamp,
and were desirous to acquaint such a one, whose vision could not admit a
greater degree of light than what we have stated, with the brightness and
splendor of the sun, would it not be necessary to tell him that the splendor of
the sun was unspeakably and incalculably better and more glorious than all this
light which he saw? (Origen. AD 225.
ANF, vol 4, page 243.)
Cyprian points out the irony in that we can
truly comprehend God when we say He is not comprehensible.
He cannot be seen—He is
too bright for vision; nor comprehended—He is too pure for our discernment; nor
estimated—He is too great for our perception. Therefore, we are only worthy in estimating
Him when we say that He is inconceivable.
(Cyprian. AD 250. ANF, vol 5, page 467.)
Arnobius wrote to God,
O You who are Yourself
unseen, and who art incomprehensible! …You
are limitless, unbegotten, immortal, enduring forever, God Yourself alone, whom
no bodily shape may represent, no outline delineate; of virtues inexpressible,
of greatness indefinable; unrestricted as to locality, movement, and condition,
concerning whom nothing can be clearly expressed by the significance of man’s
words. (Arnobius. AD 303.
ANF, vol 6, page 421.)
Lactantius wrote,
The secret of the Most
High God, who created all things, cannot be attained by our own ability and
perceptions. Otherwise there would be no
difference between God and man.
(Lactantius. AD 310. ANF, vol 7, page 9.)
SCRIPTURES: MANKIND CANNOT COMPREHEND GOD
In all
those quotations, the early Christians emphasized what has already been said in
the Scriptures about the Father. His
mind and thoughts are, indeed, far beyond anything mankind can understand.
Isaiah wrote,
The everlasting God,
Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is [He]
weary; there is no searching of His understanding. (Is 40:28, Brenton)
God Himself said through Isaiah,
“For My counsels are
not as your counsels, nor are My ways as your ways,” says the Lord. “But as the heaven is distant from the earth,
so is My way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from My mind.” (Is 55:8-9, Brenton)
Paul wrote,
For who among men knows
the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of
God except the Spirit of God. (1Cor
2:11)
If we
cannot fully comprehend the thoughts of our fellow man, then how could we
possibly comprehend the thoughts of God?
EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
At this point, you may be asking: then how can
we know anything about the Father? What
we can know about Him comes from His revelations about Himself in Scripture and
in His Son, Jesus Christ. The true
understanding of the Father comes best through His Son, who said,
All things have been
entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no
one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires to
reveal Him. (Matt 11:27)
CONCLUSION
It is appropriate for a study on God the
Father to begin like this. As we
continue looking at what the early Christians believed about God, it is
important to realize how difficult these concepts about the Father will be to
completely understand. No person other
than God’s Son, Jesus Christ, can fully comprehend the Father. So if a person thinks he can comprehend God,
His nature, His will, His power, His love, His holiness, His providence, His
sovereignty, etc., then he is thinking himself to be the same as God.
But this
doesn’t mean that Jesus and the Scriptures have left us completely in the
dark. The early Christians have given us
a wealth of knowledge about the Father, but it is important to know that no one
can fully understand everything.
Blessings
and so forth.

Update - January 2018
Happy New Year, dear readers! I will be releasing new videos THIS MONTH! The plan is to release 9 videos, 2 weeks apart. That means there will be a fairly steady stream of videos until May.
It is my expectation that these videos will be a catalyst for this channel. By that I mean, these videos will allow more people to find this channel, and the channel will get many more views. These things by themselves are not my goal, but I look forward to blessing more people by sharing what the early Christians believed about God the Father.
