@BrainStorm TRUTH. Now, the Hebrews of the Bible ended up the igbos tribe in Africa...when the slave ships came to America the people were called HEBOS...SHORT for Hebrews. I love Dennis, but REVELATIONS calls them out... well. We have been under A HEX... HEXAGRAM...the number of a man (Refer to it). They are fake. The seed of Cain. The Igbos (Real HEBREWS)I were known to have twins...twins!! Tikkun olam...heal the world...means HEEL THE WORLD. Satan took advantage of Adam and Eve!!! No bites of a Damm apple.
ǝɔuɐuossıp ǝʌıʇıuɓoɔ wow you’re really illiterate am I correct saying that a people were not chosen by God what a heathen you are. You reject the Bible it seems not that I agree with anything these people say as they’re all lies but you’re rather ignorant yourself a Jew is Judah and Israel are the English and the Romans are the devils and heathens along with other that follow them and do not follow them. Including you.
ǝɔuɐuossıp ǝʌıʇıuɓoɔ Isaiah 66: 19 I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations-to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians famous archers to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord-on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels. We sent Judah back to Israel we translated the Bible to the entire world,! This is the English. True English not the Queen of England who is Welsh/Roman and not English We survived Greece and the Romans, yes we did and ended up here with the Indians who were archers these people who never heard of God prior to us coming here that includes eskimos Alaska and Hawaii among others! You don’t believe? Well it’s actually what happened we came to America in 1620 because they were burning us alive for having the Bible, we left London England and now there are infiltrators they’re from the Romans and Greeks among mixed blood all regurgitate the same lies. We the English are the chosen people you want to deny. Our brothers who left us and hated us we sent back and most of them are disbelievers at the moment as they’re supposed to be until the unveiling which is happening now. Judah hated us because he was first we were last how are we chosen to hold and spread gods word being blessed in all we do as is seen today those who are and were thought of as no one God has lifted above the nations. The first is last the last is the first. So many lies due to this hate by nearly all our brothers. You can’t go to church and find someone who will teach truth they will not.

At the 33 minute mark, Dennis made the statement that if you sinned against man, then you need to have him forgive you 1st. What if he's dead? King David killed Bathshebas husband. How would he ask for forgiveness then? Moreover in Psalm 51 David asks for forgiveness for what he did and he says " against you, you only, have I sinned". I would be intetested in hearing Dennis' response.
Yes, I don't understand how the first sin came with its prospect since the creation of Adam, as Dennis also mentions. To me that's nonsensical... The tree of knowledge of good & evil existed to preserve free will & choice, in my view.
@@shabbatsongs4801 Would you say that instead of asking forgiveness from the person first as Dennis said, we should instead do what King David did and ask for forgiveness from God first? I submit to you that I believe the latter.
42:40 Their dialogue about being humble is deep. Hey smart man once said “I am 1000 times more humble than you” - Weird Al. He was saying it as a joke. We should not be afraid of enjoying our accomplishments but also remember they are filthy rags compared to the sinless life and death on the cross ofJesus our Lord and Savior.
To disprove his Adam and Eve statement you need only to ask one question that's even more strikingly simple than his own question: if sin wasn't introduced before the fall, why is a tempter necessary to initiate the choice to eat the fruit or not? If sin was present prior, then YHWH forbidding the fruit would have been enough to initiate the choice. Just like in human beings now. However, that simply wasn't the case: the one thing that they were commanded not to do was not done until they were tempted. This tells us that Adam and Eve's nature was radically different from ours. They sinned by choice, not because it was in their nature to rebel; and THEN their nature changed. In fact, that was whole point of the choice to begin with. Of course, they weren't created perfect or they wouldn't've have sinned. The perfect (holy) state comes only after the resurrection for those who have chosen to be born-again. But Adam and Eve were clearly created righteous, with no natural inclination towards wickedness. If left to their own devices they would have been robots essentially.
Agree with everything except your last statement. If they hadn't sinned they wouldn't have been robots, they would always be living with the choice to sin.
A lot of Christians I know wonder why I read Prager's books, this is why. I have the Rational Bible (both Exodus and Genisis) and have loved the commentary inside. There are some sections of the Bible that I have had trouble explaining (like Lot's daughters), but Prager helps iron out what lessons come from it. I cannot wait for the rest of the Torah, then maybe he can start on the New Testament, haha.
If Jesus was not resurrected we all are yet in our sins. The resurrection PROVED God's acceptance of Christ's propitiatory sacrifice; the two are inseparable.
@@RoseNoho Perfection cannot allow imperfection. Holiness cannot allow unholiness. Righteousness cannot allow unrighteousness. The reason should be obvious, but perfection mixed with imperfection loses its standard of perfection. Holiness that allows the unholy ceases to be holy. I do trust you get the point. God must judge every sin for his divine and perfectly just nature to remain perfectly just. Forgiveness without judgement is sweeping sin under the carpet.
@@briangc6104 Who made up those rules and told god he had to follow them? Who told god that he must judge every sin for his divine and perfectly just nature to remain perfectly just? Well, that person is in charge of god.
@@RoseNoho Are you a sinner... do you ever break God's laws. Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain (blaspheme); for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. (But in Matthew 5:22 Jesus said... "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. (And in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. These commandments are just an inkling of perfection... how do you fare?
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Christian theology teaches this is the moment upon which the sins of man are placed upon Christ. God will not tolerate sin, so while, for His entire life, God's eyes have been on his son, at this moment God has to look away and Christ is aware the gaze of His father is no longer on him. I've thought that Christ would, of course, be aware of this fact, so I think He said it for our benefit more than an actual question He had. Its a rhetorical question for those who were obviously close enough to hear it.
Jesus did not fail by being crucified as he took our sins through His human nature and humbled Himself accepting death to take our death and give us eternal life through His resurrection.
Vox Daze Why does it matter what color the US is? I’m not advocating for the destruction of whiteness, but if someone immigrates here legally and adopts our culture, what’s the problem?
@@melissaphotog "Why does it matter what color the US is? I’m not advocating for the destruction of whiteness, but if someone immigrates here legally and adopts our culture, what’s the problem?" Over a long enough time line it doesn't have to matter. But over the short and medium term it matters a lot, not because of whiteness and brownness, but because of the Redness, as in Marxist Globalist Redness. The vast majority of brown people who come to America vote for the demon infested Demonic Rats, there is no possibility of denying this. The reason the brown people vote for the Demonic Rats is because the demons that infest the Demonic Rats are so clever when it comes to pandering to the brown people. And the brown people from all the foreign countries don't really understand the US Constitution and limited government and God given rights versus government granted privileges, not yet, anyway. I used to be a Libertarian who believed Open Borders was OK, but because I'm not brain dead stupid I eventually figured out that Open Borders means the end of what teeny tiny bits of Liberty still existed in America, because brown people not only do not vote Libertarian, they vote emphatically and overwhelmingly anti-Libertarian. I figured out that I would have to be absolutely brainless not to see the difference between abstract and hypothetical Libertarian principles and the sheer destructive power of Real-Politicks. So, in summarization, I would turn your question around and demand that you tell us, what do you do when these migrants cannot and will not adopt our political culture? What do you intend to do now that all these migrants are voting for Marxism, and Cultural Marxism? What do you plan to do to save California, for example, from the wackos who have taken over the state, thanks to millions of migrants?
Approximately 35:00 in Regarding the Nazi soldier and the prisoner walking out on him upon asking for forgiveness, the prisoner could have forgiven the soldier for his contribution to the the prisoner's pain. That isn't forgiving on behalf of others. Most people who have forgiveness in their hearts don't walk out silently when someone is asking forgiveness on his deathbed. The soldier contributed to the hardship the prisoner underwent. The prisoner offered no splice or forgiveness on his own part, and the behavior was consistent with that of someone who was acting vindictively from a past wrong. That is what it means to say "He should have forgiven the soldier."
An act of forgiveness is truly hard to do, supernatural even. This Jewish prisoner was still experiencing the horrors of the war and the Holocaust. Where was his mind, what was he feeling? Perhaps he could have found in within himself to forgive under other circumstances, in a later time period. But who knows what experiences were in his heart, in his memory at the moment of the request. How deep they were. I can understand why he walked away. I hope the dying Nazi found his peace.
@@dawnandy7777 I don't deny that. I was merely addressing the question of was it right or wrong in the context of Judeo Christian forgiveness. Dennis and his friends both said Christians were wrong to say the Godly thing to do would be to forgive him rather than walk away silently. They said the reason Christians are wrong to say this is because nobody can forgive on behalf of someone else. I say, that's not what Christians are saying he should have done.
Yes, I don't understand how the first sin came with its potential since the creation of Adam. To me that's nonsensical... The tree of knowledge of good & evil existed to preserve free will & choice, in my view.
@@TheMindaeva The text explains this. Adam and Eve didn't have the infinite potential not to sin, which is why they were banished from eating the tree of life, because God didn't want them to live forever in a state where they could always potentially sin.
Mr. Prager, It would be interesting to have a religious Physicists go through scripture from Gen 1:1 to take the points where God acts and see if there are scientific explanations to the actions. Creation has some interesting scientific correlations such as speaking is a frequency and light has a frequency; or a rib is the only bone that can regrow and is loaded with stem cells. Of note the 10 plagues were directed at the religion of the Egyptians. No Egyptology or Religious investigate this position. The fall in the garden has another aspect the 'sin' was rebellion and I agree that humans were made with the possibility of sinning in that they were given free will like the Creator. After doing a word study in Hebrew of moral. Ultimately, the opposite is corruption not immoral. The over all conflict is Life vs Death. Moral, wisdom, justice and righteous are means to live and live well.
That's so funny that they brought up taking pictures with legends. I have a picture with President Trump from when I was a waiter at his golf club. Apparently I wasn't supposed to be harassing him, but I was basically on autopilot and I got an awesome picture with him :)
personally i believe in the literal 6 days because there is a descriptive that describes the literal day evening and morning on all the days. the other examples Denis gave of days is again obvious in their descriptive properties of course the day you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you will die is describing Man will become mortal because they were immortal. And also for the example of a day is like a thousand years to God again showing God is Timeless and outside time its a descriptive example of what is being conveyed in the text. Again is confirmed when Jesus was being asked about the meaning of a day Jesus answered as mater of fact it was 12 hours evening and morning which commemorates the days as described in Genesis and what every Jew understood to be an actual day 12 hours evening and morning. So its always puzzling when the text tells you exactly what its talking about but people still have the desire to make sense out of a Supernatural Event ...There was nothing Natural about the Creation of the Universe so stop trying to make a natural case for the 6 days of creation by expanding it to fit a natural model.
@Paula Wallace would encourage you to read thru Isaiah 52 and 53 and great Jewish source jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/issues-v13-n06/whos-the-subject-of-isaiah-53-you-decide/
Each day in Genesis's creation account is a morning and evening on God's celestial home. Peter wrote about this time difference. That still permits God Himself to not be confined by time, and to be able to see the past and future.
@Paula Wallace You must be young because you don't seem to know that screaming at people is pointless and that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs and that most people won't associate with you when you are acting this way, much less hear your beliefs.
@@scholoryteller6614 The bible was written so that the people reading could relate to it so i don't think its describing "God's day" as it were because God is outside of time all together and in heaven there is no night no darkness there is no celestial home everything in the physical realm was made separate until the end when the new heaven and new earth and the new Jerusalem is placed here on earth from Heaven. Id also say another anecdote is when Jesus comes to rule for a thousand years does that mean just for a day by the logic that is assumed by those who take what Peter said literal instead of the description of the timelessness of God. I don't know but it would sound like it should by context of what is being described as a literal 1000 years again context of what the scripture is trying to convey should be the focus. When scripture says a day and then proceeds to further clarify by describing it so there is no mistaking it by saying evening and morning i think we should listen to it ...again the creation story also was designed by its very nature to be an example and descriptive of the week before the sabbath. I think it very fitting God actually working for a week just so He leading by example rested and teaching us to do the same and honor the sabbath. it also puts life in perspective and in awe of God ...you look at what you accomplish in a week and then is dwarfed by what God did in a week and that was just so he could give us a week to remember what he did ...lol God could have just spoke and it would all have been accomplished in a milsecond but God is a Masterful designer and everything He does is for a Purpose. And Gods so purpose of creating it in a week for the Sabbath. in essence it was made for us.
12:28- "That is correct- One day with God is like a thousand years"- (Psalm 90.4; 2 Peter 3.8) God said to Adam "... but on the day you eat of it, you shall surely die.." (Gen. 2.17) It was literal. Adam lived for 930 years, and then he died. He died on that day (literally) as God had said. Btw- Entertaining and interesting talk here.
I think sin entered life because Adam and Eve disobeyed God. If God had not said anything about the fruit, eating it will not be an issue. So here the fruit is not the problem. The problem was that our great grandparents, Adam & Eve, disobeyed God's word. Throughout the Bible, God asks us to follow his Precepts and commandments. If we disobey them, then God hides his face. When we repent he shines on us. This is throughout the Psalms. Outward food cannot harm us but it is the inward thought that leads us to sin. If we follow God's commandments, God's Spirit will live in us and we become God's temple (1 Corinthians 3:16)
_And he (Abraham) believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness_ That's how one is made right before God, genuine belief, not works. The Law wasn't even around for 400 years later.
@Metaxes is sharp to call Prager on Maimonides. All in good humor but Maimonides is in many ways the Jewish version of Calvin for Christians. I’m always fascinated when biblical scholars defer to men of the past as points of authority for a codified way of understanding the Bible - a book which is sufficient and without error. Why add layers of error in between you and the text?
God is real and He does exist. But I don't trust man made ideas about religion because my God doesn't care about religion He cares about you and me. I hope no one will confused the difference between God and religion because they are not the same thing. I die and was brought back to live and I know and understand that there is a very real difference between God and religion. I hope one day we all will understand that this world is not were we come from we are here to learn and it was our own choice to come here and learn the lessons we need to know to become more like our Creator. Death is not the end but it's only a translation back into what we all were and what we were in the beginning was and will always be is a spirit. God's gift was to also give us a soul. This is the reason you and I are here for the joining of soul and spirit is what happens whenever you and I were born into these bodies. I hope this helps someone who is lost and afraid of what they're going through down here. I understand that being here is scary and at times not very good but I promise you this you are not alone and help is but a prayer away. You have not because you ask not so even if you ask got something that you know deep in your heart is good and noble then you shall receive an answer.
God created us and loves us. Because of that, He wants us to organize together so that we may strengthen and fellowship each other. And He has chosen and authorized prophets to receive revelation from Him, and then write instruction manuals on how to prepare to return to Him. One of these manuals is the Book of Mormon. It supports and clarifies the Bible.
I kind of have a family in my head comprised of Daddy Prager Uncle Trump Uncle Peterson Uncle Dinesh Big bro Charlie Big bro Shapiro Big sis Candace Then I just act like I'm the last born of this family☺☺☺
I too realized that their ability to choose was there. We make bad choices because our mind needs the Word to bring us to the proper understanding of how we can please G-D. Jesus in the Gospel of John said that Christ was the image of the unseened G-D. also Hebrews Also I think that when Jesus quoted the Psalm on the cross, He was describing the fulfillment. As a Christian I am not ready to believe Jesus was forsaken by His Fathe. No Doubt that Jesus fulfilled the Son of Man in Daniel. Also the Son of G-D as referred in the message to Solomon, a prophesy to the coming of Christ the man of peace. Lots of choices to bring one into relationship with Christ. May heart's be open to see the truth. Ist time to hear your guests. Very good.
Man's ability is not why there had to be a New Testament. The need for the perfect sacrifice for cleansing of the blood was the cause for the need of a NEW TESTAMENT, The BLOOD then truly had the ability to CLEANSE sin and present the soul with the work of Grace.
"My God my God, why have you forsaken me?" We can't forget that the pain was not just physical. during crucifixion God poured out his wrath out on Jesus and then Jesus was effectively completely separated from his father God. Jesus asking Why God has forsaken him while he is in a state of agony is more akin to an acknowledgment of the suffering he is in than it is an actual question. In other news, Denis has said before that when he meats Jesus he is going to ask him if he has come before. He is essentially a messianic Jew.
I agree with Dennis 99% of the time but when it comes to religion he's completely compartmentalized it from every other subject. The logic and reason he uses to dismantle leftist arguments go right out the window. I know how devoted he is to Judaism so I understand but it would be nice to see him analyze his religion and all religions critically. To hear all sophistication disappear when he argues for "biblical truth" is bewildering. I'm a non-believing conservative who enjoys Prager U.
Do you think it's logical that nothing created everything? Or does the fact that Jews and Christians believe the God of the Bible did it make us irrational?
I don't mean to be that guy, but ultimately, arguing over ethics or morals from an atheistic position is always irrational, since it has no real meaning or grounding. Every atheist will find themselves incapable of justifying their moral standards.
Very interesting. Dennis raises a very important difference. The Jews are under covenant and law. And so God blesses them if they are good and judges them if they are bad. BUT christians are blessed on the basis of Grace apart from the Law.
God introduced the possibility of sin when he created the very first person - and that wasn't Adam. The very first person, didn't sin, he didn't - but he could have, he feared God enough, he loved life enough, he learned God enough. The second person created sinned before any human. There wasLlight and then Darkness - Darkness sinned.
@Paula Wallace God IS Light, and speaking it by means of His Logos was the resonance one finds is necessary to produce Carbon through which He breathes His Life. That by which our senses can now "see" the reflected light of God can be the diamond of Day or the coal of Night. "In Him we live and move and have our being." Lucifer was a person, the first to try to take over from his creator, just because he thought he could...the only one for which it could be guaranteed. As second in command, he fancied himself as special. The thing the Devil forgot was that his own second in command could do it to him, and so on down through a third of the angels...
So much argument here... The principle of sacrifice was fulfilled in Christ's death on the Cross. Animal sacrifices covered (atoned) for sins, a temporary covering. Christ's sacrifice 'took away' by propitiating divine justice against sin perfectly and forever.
James 1:15 is excellent Scripture to apply to when sin becomes sin. .......King James Version Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

How would he ask for forgiveness then? Moreover in Psalm 51 David asks for forgiveness for what he did and he says " against you, you only, have I sinned". I would be intetested in hearing Dennis' response.
Yes, I don't understand how the first sin came with its prospect since the creation of Adam, as Dennis also mentions. To me that's nonsensical... The tree of knowledge of good & evil existed to preserve free will & choice, in my view.
Good question...imho...David could only ask forgiveness from God...because there is no repairing for some sin...murder, as you brought up...🙏🏻
@@shabbatsongs4801 Would you say that instead of asking forgiveness from the person first as Dennis said, we should instead do what King David did and ask for forgiveness from God first? I submit to you that I believe the latter.
These 2 are awesome together. Both awesome guys too
"You are bringing people to my Torah and my God" That is my goal. I completely agree.
Fantastic conversation between Dennis and Eric.
Denis and Eric thanks for standing strong God bless you guys America needs you
42:40 Their dialogue about being humble is deep. Hey smart man once said “I am 1000 times more humble than you” - Weird Al. He was saying it as a joke. We should not be afraid of enjoying our accomplishments but also remember they are filthy rags compared to the sinless life and death on the cross ofJesus our Lord and Savior.
What they are speaking of is modesty; not strictly synonymous with humility. The difference is important to this context.
To disprove his Adam and Eve statement you need only to ask one question that's even more strikingly simple than his own question: if sin wasn't introduced before the fall, why is a tempter necessary to initiate the choice to eat the fruit or not?
If sin was present prior, then YHWH forbidding the fruit would have been enough to initiate the choice. Just like in human beings now. However, that simply wasn't the case: the one thing that they were commanded not to do was not done until they were tempted. This tells us that Adam and Eve's nature was radically different from ours. They sinned by choice, not because it was in their nature to rebel; and THEN their nature changed. In fact, that was whole point of the choice to begin with.
Of course, they weren't created perfect or they wouldn't've have sinned. The perfect (holy) state comes only after the resurrection for those who have chosen to be born-again. But Adam and Eve were clearly created righteous, with no natural inclination towards wickedness. If left to their own devices they would have been robots essentially.
Agree with everything except your last statement. If they hadn't sinned they wouldn't have been robots, they would always be living with the choice to sin.
Two of my favorite people together!
A lot of Christians I know wonder why I read Prager's books, this is why. I have the Rational Bible (both Exodus and Genisis) and have loved the commentary inside. There are some sections of the Bible that I have had trouble explaining (like Lot's daughters), but Prager helps iron out what lessons come from it. I cannot wait for the rest of the Torah, then maybe he can start on the New Testament, haha.
If Jesus was not resurrected we all are yet in our sins. The resurrection PROVED God's acceptance of Christ's propitiatory sacrifice; the two are inseparable.
Who told god he can't just forgive us?
@@RoseNoho Perfection cannot allow imperfection. Holiness cannot allow unholiness. Righteousness cannot allow unrighteousness.
The reason should be obvious, but perfection mixed with imperfection loses its standard of perfection. Holiness that allows the unholy ceases to be holy. I do trust you get the point. God must judge every sin for his divine and perfectly just nature to remain perfectly just. Forgiveness without judgement is sweeping sin under the carpet.
@@briangc6104 Who made up those rules and told god he had to follow them? Who told god that he must judge every sin for his divine and perfectly just nature to remain perfectly just? Well, that person is in charge of god.
@@briangc6104 Don't you think god defines what is perfect? Or is it that who or whatever is telling god he has to judge sin?
@@RoseNoho Are you a sinner... do you ever break God's laws.
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain (blaspheme); for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
(But in Matthew 5:22 Jesus said... "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
(And in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
These commandments are just an inkling of perfection... how do you fare?
I prefer the PragerU YTPs.

'Cause YIKES..... here you are!
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Christian theology teaches this is the moment upon which the sins of man are placed upon Christ. God will not tolerate sin, so while, for His entire life, God's eyes have been on his son, at this moment God has to look away and Christ is aware the gaze of His father is no longer on him.
I've thought that Christ would, of course, be aware of this fact, so I think He said it for our benefit more than an actual question He had. Its a rhetorical question for those who were obviously close enough to hear it.
Yes, many of Jesus' statements were only made for our benefit.
Jesus did not fail by being crucified as he took our sins through His human nature and humbled Himself accepting death to take our death and give us eternal life through His resurrection.
Both highly respected champions in their field. Always enjoy their presentation . Thanks
Somebody call Dr Michael Brown asap!!!

Vox Daze Why does it matter what color the US is? I’m not advocating for the destruction of whiteness, but if someone immigrates here legally and adopts our culture, what’s the problem?
@@melissaphotog "Why does it matter what color the US is? I’m not advocating for the destruction of whiteness, but if someone immigrates here legally and adopts our culture, what’s the problem?"
Over a long enough time line it doesn't have to matter. But over the short and medium term it matters a lot, not because of whiteness and brownness, but because of the Redness, as in Marxist Globalist Redness. The vast majority of brown people who come to America vote for the demon infested Demonic Rats, there is no possibility of denying this. The reason the brown people vote for the Demonic Rats is because the demons that infest the Demonic Rats are so clever when it comes to pandering to the brown people. And the brown people from all the foreign countries don't really understand the US Constitution and limited government and God given rights versus government granted privileges, not yet, anyway.
I used to be a Libertarian who believed Open Borders was OK, but because I'm not brain dead stupid I eventually figured out that Open Borders means the end of what teeny tiny bits of Liberty still existed in America, because brown people not only do not vote Libertarian, they vote emphatically and overwhelmingly anti-Libertarian. I figured out that I would have to be absolutely brainless not to see the difference between abstract and hypothetical Libertarian principles and the sheer destructive power of Real-Politicks.
So, in summarization, I would turn your question around and demand that you tell us, what do you do when these migrants cannot and will not adopt our political culture? What do you intend to do now that all these migrants are voting for Marxism, and Cultural Marxism? What do you plan to do to save California, for example, from the wackos who have taken over the state, thanks to millions of migrants?
Thank you so much Dennis for your words about Christians at the end of the speech. God bless Israel.

Regarding the Nazi soldier and the prisoner walking out on him upon asking for forgiveness, the prisoner could have forgiven the soldier for his contribution to the the prisoner's pain. That isn't forgiving on behalf of others. Most people who have forgiveness in their hearts don't walk out silently when someone is asking forgiveness on his deathbed. The soldier contributed to the hardship the prisoner underwent. The prisoner offered no splice or forgiveness on his own part, and the behavior was consistent with that of someone who was acting vindictively from a past wrong.
That is what it means to say "He should have forgiven the soldier."
An act of forgiveness is truly hard to do, supernatural even. This Jewish prisoner was still experiencing the horrors of the war and the Holocaust. Where was his mind, what was he feeling? Perhaps he could have found in within himself to forgive under other circumstances, in a later time period. But who knows what experiences were in his heart, in his memory at the moment of the request. How deep they were. I can understand why he walked away. I hope the dying Nazi found his peace.
@@dawnandy7777 I don't deny that. I was merely addressing the question of was it right or wrong in the context of Judeo Christian forgiveness. Dennis and his friends both said Christians were wrong to say the Godly thing to do would be to forgive him rather than walk away silently. They said the reason Christians are wrong to say this is because nobody can forgive on behalf of someone else. I say, that's not what Christians are saying he should have done.
I love listening to them debate
I wish Ben Shapiro/Dennis Prager would have a session with Kent Hovind/Ken Ham.
Don't agree with their theology, but love their banter and their politics! :) Keep up the posts!
Yes, I don't understand how the first sin came with its potential since the creation of Adam. To me that's nonsensical... The tree of knowledge of good & evil existed to preserve free will & choice, in my view.
The prolonged tromboner God-given free will implies the ability to do wrong or to sin.
@@Alex.Kalashnik let's not equate sin and the potential to sin
@@TheMindaeva The text explains this. Adam and Eve didn't have the infinite potential not to sin, which is why they were banished from eating the tree of life, because God didn't want them to live forever in a state where they could always potentially sin.

Mr. Prager, It would be interesting to have a religious Physicists go through scripture from Gen 1:1 to take the points where God acts and see if there are scientific explanations to the actions. Creation has some interesting scientific correlations such as speaking is a frequency and light has a frequency; or a rib is the only bone that can regrow and is loaded with stem cells. Of note the 10 plagues were directed at the religion of the Egyptians. No Egyptology or Religious investigate this position. The fall in the garden has another aspect the 'sin' was rebellion and I agree that humans were made with the possibility of sinning in that they were given free will like the Creator. After doing a word study in Hebrew of moral. Ultimately, the opposite is corruption not immoral. The over all conflict is Life vs Death. Moral, wisdom, justice and righteous are means to live and live well.
Can you link to your claim about ribs as the only bone that can regrow?
I take the story of the "Garden" literally"
I take the story of all creation of Earth literally
regarding Dennis' first question regarding adam and eve....having the capability (aka free will) to sin vs. actually sinning are 2 different things.
Glad I found this video and can enjoy intelligent people
Great discussion, first time hearing about Eric Metaxes, so funny to watch and glad this video was posted!
Priceless conversation..... gotta get their books......

speaking as a Mormon, Joseph Smith is NOT a mesia. he is not a 6th attempt. he was a good man, but only a man. only Christ is the mesia.
True, but the question is whether Joseph contradicts Jesus or not. Jesus says that believing in Him guarantees eternal life.
love Metaxes, but he really needs to do a better job at challenging Prager's misunderstandings about Christianity
Only God is good.

You guys are great together !!!
Thank you for doing this together, You have rekindled my faith, what do I do now? I am asking this rhetorically!
I've been making videos on bringing religious values back into the public square.
@Guy Fawkes-Day ... It's not a burden when you're free to ignore my comment.
You two put Laurel and Hardy to shame. Great conversation but still hilarious.
I loved this video and have watched it several times there so much great stuff.
Realigeon is something i’m still struggling with. Content like this gives me hope that i may truly believe one day.
How can I help?
personally i believe in the literal 6 days because there is a descriptive that describes the literal day evening and morning on all the days. the other examples Denis gave of days is again obvious in their descriptive properties of course the day you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you will die is describing Man will become mortal because they were immortal. And also for the example of a day is like a thousand years to God again showing God is Timeless and outside time its a descriptive example of what is being conveyed in the text. Again is confirmed when Jesus was being asked about the meaning of a day Jesus answered as mater of fact it was 12 hours evening and morning which commemorates the days as described in Genesis and what every Jew understood to be an actual day 12 hours evening and morning. So its always puzzling when the text tells you exactly what its talking about but people still have the desire to make sense out of a Supernatural Event ...There was nothing Natural about the Creation of the Universe so stop trying to make a natural case for the 6 days of creation by expanding it to fit a natural model.
@Paula Wallace would encourage you to read thru Isaiah 52 and 53 and great Jewish source jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/issues-v13-n06/whos-the-subject-of-isaiah-53-you-decide/
Each day in Genesis's creation account is a morning and evening on God's celestial home. Peter wrote about this time difference. That still permits God Himself to not be confined by time, and to be able to see the past and future.
@Paula Wallace
You must be young because you don't seem to know that screaming at people is pointless and that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs and that most people won't associate with you when you are acting this way, much less hear your beliefs.
@Robert hinton jr yes that's describing the timelessness of God
@@scholoryteller6614 The bible was written so that the people reading could relate to it so i don't think its describing "God's day" as it were because God is outside of time all together and in heaven there is no night no darkness there is no celestial home everything in the physical realm was made separate until the end when the new heaven and new earth and the new Jerusalem is placed here on earth from Heaven. Id also say another anecdote is when Jesus comes to rule for a thousand years does that mean just for a day by the logic that is assumed by those who take what Peter said literal instead of the description of the timelessness of God. I don't know but it would sound like it should by context of what is being described as a literal 1000 years again context of what the scripture is trying to convey should be the focus. When scripture says a day and then proceeds to further clarify by describing it so there is no mistaking it by saying evening and morning i think we should listen to it ...again the creation story also was designed by its very nature to be an example and descriptive of the week before the sabbath. I think it very fitting God actually working for a week just so He leading by example rested and teaching us to do the same and honor the sabbath. it also puts life in perspective and in awe of God ...you look at what you accomplish in a week and then is dwarfed by what God did in a week and that was just so he could give us a week to remember what he did ...lol God could have just spoke and it would all have been accomplished in a milsecond but God is a Masterful designer and everything He does is for a Purpose. And Gods so purpose of creating it in a week for the Sabbath. in essence it was made for us.
Lovely, a Judeo-Christian-Islamic discussion would be fun too. Even a Zoroastrian and Buddhist in the midst.
There needs to be a whole #thuglife compilation of all the great things Eric hit Dennis with 🤣😎
12:28- "That is correct- One day with God is like a thousand years"- (Psalm 90.4; 2 Peter 3.8) God said to Adam "... but on the day you eat of it, you shall surely die.." (Gen. 2.17) It was literal. Adam lived for 930 years, and then he died. He died on that day (literally) as God had said.
Btw- Entertaining and interesting talk here.
ALL of the Bible points to Jesus.
@Paula Wallace I'll leave your house desolate. Your messiah will be the son of perdition.
Denis....John 14:20 ...in that day you will know that I am in My Father you are in Me and I am in you.
Jesus is in us....according to John.
I think sin entered life because Adam and Eve disobeyed God. If God had not said anything about the fruit, eating it will not be an issue. So here the fruit is not the problem. The problem was that our great grandparents, Adam & Eve, disobeyed God's word. Throughout the Bible, God asks us to follow his Precepts and commandments. If we disobey them, then God hides his face. When we repent he shines on us. This is throughout the Psalms. Outward food cannot harm us but it is the inward thought that leads us to sin. If we follow God's commandments, God's Spirit will live in us and we become God's temple (1 Corinthians 3:16)
I'm a charismatic Christian - I know exactly what a shofar is ;-)
Why am I not surprised, that these
two hit off😂🤣😆?????
Amazing and amusing discourse, gentlemen.
Ok...can we talk about Eric’s interview notes on the back of a used window envelope??? I love it!
Giant deep sea spider crabs are terrifying.
_And he (Abraham) believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness_ That's how one is made right before God, genuine belief, not works. The Law wasn't even around for 400 years later.
Romans 3:20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
@Metaxes is sharp to call Prager on Maimonides. All in good humor but Maimonides is in many ways the Jewish version of Calvin for Christians. I’m always fascinated when biblical scholars defer to men of the past as points of authority for a codified way of understanding the Bible - a book which is sufficient and without error. Why add layers of error in between you and the text?
Two of my fav people!!!!!
Thank you
God is real and He does exist. But I don't trust man made ideas about religion because my God doesn't care about religion He cares about you and me. I hope no one will confused the difference between God and religion because they are not the same thing. I die and was brought back to live and I know and understand that there is a very real difference between God and religion. I hope one day we all will understand that this world is not were we come from we are here to learn and it was our own choice to come here and learn the lessons we need to know to become more like our Creator. Death is not the end but it's only a translation back into what we all were and what we were in the beginning was and will always be is a spirit. God's gift was to also give us a soul. This is the reason you and I are here for the joining of soul and spirit is what happens whenever you and I were born into these bodies. I hope this helps someone who is lost and afraid of what they're going through down here. I understand that being here is scary and at times not very good but I promise you this you are not alone and help is but a prayer away. You have not because you ask not so even if you ask got something that you know deep in your heart is good and noble then you shall receive an answer.
God created us and loves us. Because of that, He wants us to organize together so that we may strengthen and fellowship each other. And He has chosen and authorized prophets to receive revelation from Him, and then write instruction manuals on how to prepare to return to Him. One of these manuals is the Book of Mormon. It supports and clarifies the Bible.

@@kolays7730 yea i been seeing putin clips lately soo good
Just found this!
I too realized that their ability to choose was there. We make bad choices because our mind needs the Word to bring us to the proper understanding of how we can please G-D. Jesus in the Gospel of John said that Christ was the image of the unseened G-D. also Hebrews Also I think that when Jesus quoted the Psalm on the cross, He was describing the fulfillment. As a Christian I am not ready to believe Jesus was forsaken by His Fathe.
No Doubt that Jesus fulfilled the Son of Man in Daniel. Also the Son of G-D as referred in the message to Solomon, a prophesy to the coming of Christ the man of peace. Lots of choices to bring one into relationship with Christ. May heart's be open to see the truth. Ist time to hear your guests. Very good.
This was AWESOME!
Already bought Rational Bible genesis and exodus...reading Them!!!! And reading Eric book Bonhoeffer also!!! Fantastic readings!!!!
Man's ability is not why there had to be a New Testament. The need for the perfect sacrifice for cleansing of the blood was the cause for the need of a NEW TESTAMENT, The BLOOD then truly had the ability to CLEANSE sin and present the soul with the work of Grace.
What about Hasidic Jews? They isolate themselves separate from society within big cities.
"My God my God, why have you forsaken me?"
We can't forget that the pain was not just physical. during crucifixion God poured out his wrath out on Jesus and then Jesus was effectively completely separated from his father God. Jesus asking Why God has forsaken him while he is in a state of agony is more akin to an acknowledgment of the suffering he is in than it is an actual question.
In other news, Denis has said before that when he meats Jesus he is going to ask him if he has come before. He is essentially a messianic Jew.
Imagine Eric instead of Colbert as a host?
I agree with Dennis 99% of the time but when it comes to religion he's completely compartmentalized it from every other subject. The logic and reason he uses to dismantle leftist arguments go right out the window. I know how devoted he is to Judaism so I understand but it would be nice to see him analyze his religion and all religions critically. To hear all sophistication disappear when he argues for "biblical truth" is bewildering. I'm a non-believing conservative who enjoys Prager U.
Do you think it's logical that nothing created everything? Or does the fact that Jews and Christians believe the God of the Bible did it make us irrational?
I don't mean to be that guy, but ultimately, arguing over ethics or morals from an atheistic position is always irrational, since it has no real meaning or grounding. Every atheist will find themselves incapable of justifying their moral standards.
"Mary was Italian" Great!
Very interesting. Dennis raises a very important difference. The Jews are under covenant and law. And so God blesses them if they are good and judges them if they are bad. BUT christians are blessed on the basis of Grace apart from the Law.
Where can I find the Jerusalem Post article Dennis mentions (15 reasons...)?
Awesomesauce
Thanks.
WE blow the shofar every time we open our fellowship
God introduced the possibility of sin when he created the very first person - and that wasn't Adam. The very first person, didn't sin, he didn't - but he could have, he feared God enough, he loved life enough, he learned God enough. The second person created sinned before any human. There wasLlight and then Darkness - Darkness sinned.
@Paula Wallace God IS Light, and speaking it by means of His Logos was the resonance one finds is necessary to produce Carbon through which He breathes His Life. That by which our senses can now "see" the reflected light of God can be the diamond of Day or the coal of Night. "In Him we live and move and have our being." Lucifer was a person, the first to try to take over from his creator, just because he thought he could...the only one for which it could be guaranteed. As second in command, he fancied himself as special. The thing the Devil forgot was that his own second in command could do it to him, and so on down through a third of the angels...
So much argument here... The principle of sacrifice was fulfilled in Christ's death on the Cross. Animal sacrifices covered (atoned) for sins, a temporary covering. Christ's sacrifice 'took away' by propitiating divine justice against sin perfectly and forever.
James 1:15 is excellent Scripture to apply to when sin becomes sin. .......King James Version
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
