Previously on Thomas in the Bible, Harley did an intro, and it was awesome to have him back, and I really miss him.

But alas, no intro this week.

It makes you realize just how much better Harley is at intros than I am, which is why it's so cool that he does him.

But oh well, I understand.

He has a life.

So thank you for that last one, and maybe next time.

Thank you for that last one and maybe next time. All right. Thanks for that intro, someone.

We'll see if Harley did one from the future. We'll see. Anyway,

um, hello, welcome to Thomas and the Bablay. Uh, it's episode 211. We are reading, we're starting the

gospel of Luke and, uh, I want to say a thing or two about the Gospel of Luke.

So I think it's funny. This happens in every time. Every single time I start a new book,

I start, you know, researching a little bit about the book and everything. And it's so funny that

you just take it for granted. Every single one just says, well, this obviously wasn't written by

anyone named Luke. It was thought to have been written by some friend of Johns or something,

or no, sorry, friend of Paul's named Luke, some companion of Paul's name Luke. But it turns out,

nah, wasn't really. And everyone knows it.

Like, it's no secret. But isn't it weird that God's perfect book, as I always say? I understand,

you know, the argument is always, there's always some fuzzy, the Christian will always argue, well, you know, inspired, divinely inspired. I don't know how

that, I would love to know the specifics of that. How does that work? Like what, what parts are

inspired? How do we know? What does it look like when someone becomes inspired to write parts of

the Bible that are inspired, you know? Why couldn't God have just gone with full-time inspiration instead of part-time stuff?

Like, God was really conserving his inspiration time.
