Common Knowledge

    The first episode in season 3 is introducing the concept of common knowledge and establishing how it will guide this season.
    This is the third time that I am coming to you. On the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter shall be confirmed.2 Corinthians 13:1 NASB
    Common knowledge is[1][2]:
    • Anything you can find in 5 scholarly sources
    • Anything you can safely assume the reader/listener already knows
    • Not disputed

    Bible verses about 2 or 3 witnesses:
    • Deuteronomy 17:6
    • Deuteronomy 19:15
    • Matthew 18:16
    • 2 Corinthians 13:1
    • 1 Timothy 5:19
    • Hebrews 10:28

    Biblical examples of God repeating something 2 or 3 times:
    • Joseph interpreting dreams (Genesis 40)
    • Pharaoh has 2 dreams about the famine (Genesis 41)
    • 1 & 2 Chronicles contains much of the same information as 1 & 2 Kings
    • Daniel and Revelation have much cross over
    • The Gospels

    What if this pattern exists across cultures?
    And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd.John 10:16 NASB
