3 kinds of intelligence in fiction (youtube)
- high effort: character solves a genuinely hard problem and audience later sees why it worked
- low effort: character succeeds because writers say so
- excused low effort: superpower, divine powers
Jesus should fall into bucket #3 since he is God, but doesn't because he has high-effort intelligence
examples:
- tax to Caesar
- healing on sabbath
- authority of John the Baptist
some notes on the New Testament
- The Gospels were written roughly 20–60 years after Jesus’ death, placing them firmly in the 1st century AD,
- The earliest physical fragment is the John Rylands Fragment (a piece of the Gospel of John), dated 117–138 AD—only a few decades after the original writing
- Ignatius of Antioch and Clement of Rome quoted Matthew, Mark, and Luke in letters written around 95–110 AD
- 3 criteria for a book in new testament
- apostolic: was it written by an apostle or someone in direct contact with apostle
- orthodoxy: did the book's teaching agree with Torah and apostolic oral tradition, Gnosticism were rejected bc they contradicted christian beliefs (body is evil spiritual is god)
- widespread church use: was it used across Mediterranean
