@anavajic44493 years ago this was beautiful! i love how you manage to explain the details about so many stories and topics and at the same time connect different topics and information to paint a coherent picture with a structure, to tell a story in a way ... 1

@MaraK_dialmformara4 years ago Wonderful video, especially the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who is someone we all need to know about right now. Also now I get why that depressing apocalyptic mecha anime about bad parenting is called Evangelion.
Would like to understand though why you’ve attributed “Jehovah” to Jewish tradition. Growing up Jewish, I was taught that was a Christian attempt to recreate the pronunciation of a name of G-d that was lost because only the high priests knew it, and we read it using other names (usually Adonai ‘my lord’) to avoid giving offense by getting it wrong. What does the historical record say? ... 5

@thomasvieth60634 years ago The four to whom the gospels are ascribed are called "Evangelist" in German

@PureZOOKS4 years ago When you started "euangelion" I was waiting for a mention of that
@

@tecumsehcristero3 years ago I thought you would mention the Chi-Rho when you were talking about visual shorthand like TNT and bombs.
Cool video though

@colinp22384 years ago have you done a video on names at all? 2

@visionbot8514 years ago I'd /love/ to hear Andrew Henry if you do a related podcast ;)

@jadegrace13122 years ago I just realized how few views you get. That's really a shame because I find these connected etymology videos fascinating.

@forthrightgambitia10324 years ago Another word you missed here is evengeliary, a book that just contains the gospels. which, like television is one of the rebarbative Greco-Latin hybrids (Latin -arius), though unlike this I suppose evangelion was 'latinised', given gospel in Spanish is evangelio. ...

@abhinavchauhan78644 years ago I have some question regarding linguistics can you please respond ?

@1stAmbientGrl4 years ago Following the route of the Nobel Prize was a bit of a risk for this video. I had to stop at one point and go back to Martin Luther King, Jr. to remind myself of the connection. Also, you are the first person I have heard say that the authors of the Gospels did not witness the events recorded. How do you know they were not the disciples? Or is that just an assumption? ...
@

@nedludd7622last year Only the middle part is on subject. Why the diversion to Nobel? People know the history.

@fleta0004 years ago Why does almost every word in english starting with 'sl' have a negative connotation?

@cerberaodollam4 years ago Hahhhahaha, in light of the homophobia in most of current Christianity, this is such a glorious story. <3 1

@lafregaste3 years ago My Mom used to say we were angels before being born. She's catholic of the "Neocatecumenado", not sure how to translate that, so she believes souls don't go directly to heaven but to purgatory to penance for their sins and be allowed to enter heaven later. Souls do not become angels when reaching heaven either thou they can act as messengers to pass on to God the living's prayers, or to "pray for the living". I find it quite fascinating how religion evolves, a great deal, maybe a 70% of what our religions are today didn't exist when they were created. Most has being change because of new economies, location and specially, the modern moral values. I mean, the early Christians could keep slaves without problem but now being a Christian implies not injuring other humans, thou what human means to some it's still for debate, since they still hate the LGBT community so much. And let's not forget the "wife property of the husband" thing... Well, the good thing about human constructions like religion is that they can evolve, so they can change to suit "our" needs better. The more people question their values and were they stand on human rights and respect, the more their customs and believes will change. And we, who are affected and fight can only hope that change will come sooner rather than later. ...
