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 NASBCommon 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
