Summary

In this interview, we are joined by Michael Jones, founder of Inspiring Philosophy to respond to Rabbi Michael Skobac’s objections regarding the reliability of the Gospels. To support our work in responding to counter-missionaries, you can visit https://www.twomessianicjews.com/donate We carefully examine several of Rabbi Skobac’s key claims, including: 1:15 — The Gospels are religious propaganda, not history 18:03 — Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John did not write the Gospels 32:18 — Yeshua’s disciples did not speak Greek 36:57 — The Gospels were written too late to be reliable 48:40 — No ancient sources outside the Gospels corroborate the accounts Michael Jones addresses each objection with thoughtful analysis, drawing on biblical scholarship, Jewish and Greek history, and historical evidence from the Gospels.
