Recently, I made a 15-minute video where I gave an overview of the Book of Jubilees and explained why Jews and Christians have never considered it Scripture. Sean Griffin did not like this video and made a three-hour response to it. This is my response to his response. (Don't worry—it is much shorter than Sean's.)
00:00 Introduction
00:52 How Sean approaches Jubilees
02:50 Does the Torah claim to be God's revelation through Moses?
03:55 Did nobody attribute the Torah to Moses until the 12th Century AD?
09:16 Sean dismisses the textual evidence that indicates a late date for Jubilees
10:33 Sean admits that he was wrong about the 7th Century bone plaque
12:42 Josephus' canon refutes Sean's claims about Jubilees
14:29 Sean doesn't care what the Ethiopian Christians think
15:42 Sean throws R. H. Charles under the bus
16:36 Sean proves my point that Christians throughout history have rejected Jubilees as Scripture
17:28 Sean thinks it's okay for Christians to throw out the books of Jude, Revelation, etc.
18:39 Jubilees' unbiblical laws about Gentiles
22:08 Jubilees' unbiblical prohibition against physical intimacy on the Sabbath
23:59 Jubilees' unbiblical teachings about Lot's descendants
25:17 Did Moses and Jesus violate Jubilees' command against fasting on the Sabbath?
27:18 Conclusion
29:39 A personal message to Sean's followers
