Top Comments of this video!! :3
each of the gospels were clearly written for a different audience. Mathew wants us to know Jesus the Jew, Mark mostly is about action and power (good for converting Romans, who admired both), Luke writes his in a bit of a historical context to a new believer, and John really wants us to know Jesus was also God.

Speaking as a Catholic, I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim the Old Testament was written by God Himself. Rather, it was written over a period of centuries or millennia by various human authors who were inspired by God. A subtle but important distinction, and I suspect much more in line with the Jewish view than suggested. Christianity has never been shy about the origins of the first half of its sacred scripture, and the early Church fiercely opposed arguments that the OT should be cut on account of its Jewish origins.

āI am a cartoonā I keep forgetting that this is canonically true, and that Blue and āBlueā technically have a āStephen Colbertā (of the Colbert Report era) situation going on (although not nearly to that degree).
My favorite was when Blue was discussing this on the OSPod and was like āIām not so flat in person as onscreen Blue - Iām not just all about domes. I like arches just as much!ā

A small correction: Christianity does not attribute the Old Testament to God directly, but indirectly. It was not written by God, but inspired by God, which means that God was the root cause behind the writings and influenced the writer to only speak truth. But that inspiration was still filtered through the human writers who created the books. God was basically a real-time editor, bequeathing ideas on the writers that sounded quite good and worthy of writing, but how they expressed those ideas were left up to them.
EDIT:
As some have clarified in the replies, this does not mean that every statement is true when taken literally, just that they all contain truth. In some cases this is literal, such as the existence of Adam and Eve, but others are metaphorical or allegorical, such as the six days of creation or Christ's parables.
Disputes on which statements are to be taken literally and which statements are metaphors is one of the main reasons for the many denominations within Christianity.

Speaking as a "Christian", I'm happy that this comment section (at the time of me writing this) is a civil one especially when it comes to this sort of topic. Love the substitute word you chose. Feels mystifying. Also, like someone mentioned I don't think most Christians see the scriptures as being from God. Inspired by God, sure but not directly from God. Maybe it's more popular in the more fundamentalist groups because I've never heard of that take before until like a few months ago before this video.

2:43 This is honestly so funny and insane! I can just imagine a storyteller telling this to other Christians.
āHey, wanna hear about the time Little Jesus tamed a cave of ENORMOUS F*CK YOU DRAGONS?!ā
āIām sorry, what?ā

I love Blueās spicy take at the end. Just for those who donāt understand, the KJV is a cornerstone of English-language literature, as important as the works of Shakespeare in cementing the modern English language. Itās a beautiful, interesting read. However, it leaves a lot to be desired as a translation of the Bible. It generally favors pretty imagery and nice rhyming turns of phrase over accurate translation of the text as written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. There are a whole host of newer, more accurate translations out there, but they arenāt as pretty as the KJV.
Worse, there are a whole bunch of Christian groups out there, often of the right-wing conservative type, who insist that scripture is the only source for Christian faith and that the KJV is the only acceptable English translation of the Bible. This is frustrating because it ignores a whole lot of oral traditions that arose first and all the translation flaws in the KJV, some of which heavily affect doctrine. So dismissing the KJV is Blue mocking those groups.
