@MythVisionPodcast You say "anti-semitism", quite a lot Do you not also fairly acknowledge the other side of this?? The talmud has immensely hateful parts towards non jews Atheist, but ethnic jewish people had an awful lot to do with one of the very most evil and cruel ideologies of all time : Bolshevik communsim Just saying there are very much two sides to this throughout much of history I dont like either side
MythVision Podcast, are you deleting my comments or youtube is? I wrote a couple of comments explaining the confusion about the titles lord and god, in the Bible, but they were deleted. Obviously, someone does not want God's true character of nonviolence to be known.
,Most English bibles egregiously mistranslate "Yahweh" as "the Lord." Yahweh is a mass-murdering tyrant who is never kind, much less loving, in the Torah.
I really love the shows with Dr Litwa in them. He seems very knowledgeable and has a serenity about him that is really easy to listen to. Keep up the great work!
Oh my. I’m so interested in this subject I have had so many revelations about this very thing. Can’t afford the book currently…it however is on my list though. Keep up the great work many of us are on a mission to learn the truth.
Same here re: revelations. It's a notion for which I've sought insight, and I have really enjoyed the video. This information seems to dove-tails well with Paul wallis' work. He has A 3- part YT series titled, "The Scarey truth about the Bible. And he has 2 books out, and a 3rd to soon be released. The title of the first is "Escaping from Eden." He seems to have a rather unique view.
I had a perplexing dream about these themes and had been doing some research into the matter myself..lo and behold the concept has some weight behind it
Set (/sɛt/; Egyptological: Sutekh - swtẖ ~ stẖ or Greek: Seth /sɛθ/) is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. In Ancient Greek, the god's name is given as Sēth (Σήθ). Set had a positive role where he accompanies Ra on his barque to repel Apep, the serpent of Chaos.
I always liked that story where he helped Ra. It gives me Loki vibes a little bit. A diety who's usually a dark or negative being deciding to step in and aid a fellow God and show that he can be good. Gotta love a face turn
I absolutely love listening to all of your interviews with Dr. Litwa. He's a wonderful speaker and I've learned so much from him and your channel. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this episode. I’m particularly interested in the influence Egyptian mythology played in the development of Jewish mythology. I’m ordering the book :-)
Yes! More content like this please! I just found your channel a few weeks ago so just now seeing this video. I grew up in a mainstream denomination of this religion. Between the ages of 16 and 20, I sincerely tried to seek / follow God. I was a Christian religious fanatic. At 18, I had a dream that really puzzled me. I was at the church. I saw a friend of mine the same age. We weren't best buds at all and didn't really run so much in the same circles either but we were still friends. Then in the conversation, I remembered that he was really dead. Had died a year or so earlier in an accident on a farm. When I remembered, I said hey man, you're dead! He acknowledged and then I asked him what its like? (maybe i asked what's heaven like? or what's God like? I don't remember exactly). He responded saying something like "God is a bit strange". me: "what do you mean?" Him: "God is not right" (something like that. I think I wrote this down but I would need to find the notebook at my mom's house which is 1500 miles away from where I live) Anyways, I then had an intense overwhelming vision of this 'god'. He was huge, 25 maybe 50 feet tall. Dressed all in black, what seemed like a type of armor. It was sleek, very stylish actually. Lightning bolts were hitting around him. I could not see his face though. Had some kind of helmet, seemed transparent but I could not see his face. My feeling and impression was that he was evil but I had some serious cognitive dissonance and couldn't reconcile it. About 25 years later in my 40s, I was first exposed to gnostic ideas. There's something to this stuff. Its not all myth and make believe.
This was pretty interesting. I'd be interested in hearing more. It makes sense that the Marcionite view would be based on the strange old Seth legend as Gnosticism originates in Alexandria.
Amazing amount of info new to me. Thank you It occurs to me that there may be many evil criminals that are unaware that they are following a god so diligently.
Great talk... loving David's appearance on the channel The comments section is pretty funny for this. Half love it, the other half read the title and are leaving a comment in rage without listen or understanding the presentation

This was so good! I just stumbled upon your channel and had to subscribe because of this interview. I definitely would like to see Dr. Litwa on here again. Now I can't wait to see more of the stuff you've got here. Good work, keep it up!
Thanks, Dr. Litwa... This is the back story narrative that I felt like had to exist after years and years of hearing rumors of multiple gods that inhabited that ancient milieu. Now, the YHWH story becomes more Anthropomorphic in my eyes. It also appears to put the lie to all this omni-god myth that never squared up with the Bible. Also, it goes to show how this whole religion and associated religions, sects and cults were more or less the sitcoms for the masses of the day.

Great video, very digestible and informative ! As christians, I think we often forget what Jesus and his hand-picked disciples describe as the Spirit of the law vs the law ...(Spirit of the law _vs_ the law) Jesus fully kept and fought/contended for the "Spirit" of the law, but constantly fought against, exposed and broke the "law". That is what killed Him on a cross: His obedience in keeping and promoting the "Spirit" of the law while exposing the evil of the "law".
Very interesting, I love cracking through history, And I'm coming out of dogmatic Christianity. Seeking what might the actual truth be. While still leaning towards the historical Jesus. Open minded here, thank you enjoyed learning today.
Luke 11:11 - Jesus says what Father would gives his Son a snake when he asks for fish, to me this is obviously referring to YHWH in Numbers 21:6, I'm always surprised this obvious reference is overlooked by Christians and critics alike.
Dr. Litwa is a great scholar and we need more of his wisdom! Also, Derek, I hope you can dig up a non-apologetic Hindu scholar. The Hindu scriptures are a treasure house of weirdness but I can only find apologists.
But the western view of Hinduism (remember, it is not a religion) is very faulty and pro Abrahamic. Most of the hindus, 90%, + haven't read their scriptures. Only some rites and rituals are performed. But the core idea is in everyone like worship of nature, religious indifference,peaceful nature, adherence to Dharma, to name a few. Religion as you see in Abrahamic set up is not taught at home, or in temples or anywhere else. Actually it doesn't deal with the imaginary concept - GOD, rather it ( the Vedas & Upanishads) gives directions to seek, search whether there is one. It is upto the seeker to come to conclutions. Finally, the hindu scriptures are not directly descented down to us by god, rather they are the visions, views, (Darsans, we call it) of rishis( sages). Starting from these points, if anybody who have studied this culture with a hindu mind ( not an Abrahamic one) can dessect this culture Hinduism, praise or criticism, whateever it be, l welcome it. Its realm is different. 🙏🙏🙏
@@show-n5z Many Hindu gurus came to the West and taught Westerners. I was one of them. I had a guru and joined his cult for several years. It didn't make me a Hindu, but many of my friends tried to become Hindus, with considerable success. We studied the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and the Yoga Sutras, and practiced Arti and many Hindu ceremonies and rituals. The Bhagavad Gita (and the Mahabharata) gives center stage to Krishna. Krishna is definitely God. As a fictional character, Krishna is more complex and likable than the insane Yahweh, but he shares the problems of all omnipotent, omniscient deities: he commits genocide, he threatens, kills, and tricks people, and he breaks all the rules that apply to the lower classes. He is also very fond of the ladies, and conversely (an improvement over Yahweh). During my Hindu period, I naturally thought that Hinduism was the best religion ever. It took me decades to see that all religions are the same bullsh*t. Now that I am aware of the disaster that is Hindu nationalism, I have gone 180°. Then I discovered Buddhist nationalism and my entire admiration of the mysterious East dissipated.
I have always known that "God" was a spirit and is the highest in love and goodness. God has no earthly characteristics, like greed, hate, jealousy which is man's way which change with feeling the ultimate touch of God.
@@suatustel746 yes, YOUR personal experience of some invisible entity out there. or your own intellectual perception. other people has different and more positive experiences with God

I spit on it!!!!!
I have been studying the teachings of the Essenes and other early Jewish/Christian groups, and I have learned that Yahweh/Jehovah means god of calamity, iniquity, mischief, mischievous (thing), naughtiness, naughty, noisome, perverse thing, substance, and wickedness.
Wish people would stop using the term Anti-semetic as a standalone phrase for anti Jewish. Say 'Ani-Jewish as semetic covers a group of languages. Derek should well be aware of this. Great presentation. I bought the book mentioned in the presentation, which was expensive.
I would like Derek to ask his guests their thoughts on Herod and Pilot taking the place of the high priest in the Passover and Yom Kippur analogies of the passion narratives.
This dude is just another snake oil sales man ,selling his wares . Nothing new under the sun! YAHUAH knows what's best for us , no one said it would be easy , amein.

The Sethians were one of the main currents of Gnosticism during the 2nd and 3rd century CE, along with Valentinianism and Basilideanism (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism).
According to Epiphanius (c. 375), Sethians were in his time found only in Egypt and Palestine. Philaster (4th c, CE) places the Ophites, Cainites, and Sethians as pre-Christian Jewish sects. Sethians identified Seth with Christ (Second Logos of the Great Seth), (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism)
Thanks for confirming Egypt's acknowledgement of the exodus of Israel even though archeologist and certain historians say there is no record or evidence of an exodus from Egypt ever.Why would Egyptians weave a counter story if it were not so?
Dr Litwa, the only differences in the Egyptian version of the Exodus as you described it are 1) the Egyptians expelled the Hebrews. 2) the Egyptian version recognizes these actions as evil. In the Hebrew version, Yahweh is also not a good god. He murders all the firstborn males of the Egyptians and causes plagues that would have killed almost all the Egyptians, who are the ones who pay for Yahweh’s evil, even though he raised up Egypt just for that purpose. Thanks for the informative interview. 👍
Set (Egyptological: Sutekh - or Greek: Seth) is a god of storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism). It's unclear whether there is any connection of any kind between the Egyptian "Set" and the Hebrew "Seth," brother of Cain & Abel, and the third son of Adam & Eve, or if this purely a coincidence.
Merry Mythmas Derek and family.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Great video and I’m gonna order the book…I’m constantly buying books from all your guests but I can’t help it. I’m a TRUTH SEEKER and a sponge to the all the knowledge that’s on your channel…So I soak it all up like a sponge. Sorry but nope I can’t purchase the book as much as I’d like to…I just went on Amazon hoping to purchase it but but being on a fixed income the price is way out of my ballpark. Yahweh is such a miserable little bitch!
Having a all good but not all powerful God, definitely makes sense as to why there is worldly imperfection and human suffering ! Because the evil god power is there to spoil things ,but the evil power is all evil but not all powerful ,so the two forces of good and evil are in eternal conflict! The result is human suffering !
Re the Jesus on a donkey theme I would note that it first appears in gMark, and Mark the evangelist is connected with Alexandria. He supposedly was bishop of the church of Alexandria. Of course we don't actually know who wrote the "gospel of Mark", so it might not have been this Mark at all. It's also interesting that according to the Egyptians the Semitic Hyksos people worshipped Seth.
This was fascinating. Unfortunately I can't get the book at that price but I'll add it to my list in hopes that it will eventually be more affordable. Thank you and have him on again.
The Valentinian and Marcionite systems both posited existence of a "demiurge" (evil God). Clement of Alexandria (c.150 - c.215) reports that Valentinus (c.100 - c.180), a younger contemporary of Marcion (c. 85 - c. 160), was taught by Theudas, a disciple of Paul. The Kitos War (Jewish-Roman war in Cyrenaica/Aegyptus in 115-117) preceded Valentinianism.
Yes! The spirit of God is riding inside of this stubborn animal who normally is just that, a stubborn animal refusing to acknowledge the non physical reality. When all the first born were killed, this was there exile. Enslaved in the flesh. So he takes control of his animal and rides it to be sacrificed ultimately freeing him from the physical. Because consciously he was freed and wasn't forced to reincarnate. Something like that.
In the O.T., King Solomon rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Jesus was following that type. So questions about the donkey representing Set would have to extend back to that time.
There may be traces of Egyptian theology in Valentinism, including Horos, "a figure entirely peculiar to Valentinian Gnosticism is that of Horos... The name is perhaps an echo of the Egyptian Horus.[14][21] ...he becomes a kind of world-creative power, who in this capacity helps to construct an ordered world out of Sophia and her passions." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentinianism#Demiurge)
I was always taught that Satan is the "god of this world" but Satan was never supposed to be a god so I think they say, "ruler of this world" as opposed to the creator or god, he is King of the World because Adam sinned and the world was given to Satan to do mischief in. As an atheist, I don't believe any of this nonsense anymore and figuring out what ancient people actually believed when they had a completely different system of thought and took drugs and fasted for visions and lied to each other is impossible. Summation: There were no gods, no spirits, no angels, not even "the force" involved in human history. There were men following the inclinations of men and pretending they had "god on their side" for obvious human reasons, the leaders often claimed to be gods and acted like it to enhance their power and used the rudimentary science they sponsored to do "miracles". History and fiction always include gods because it sells and because the gods were part of history just not a real part.
laughable... you're no different than a toad living under a basket. you obviously do NOT know other parts of reality in this planet that goes against your 3D world
Well there went an hour. Point of clarity... Set does not sport the head of a donkey. His head and his feet and his reddish color are from the aardvark, not the donkey. The aardvark is native to Africa and would have been found in the Upper Kingdom. Also, horses in Egyptian hieroglyphics are clearly identifiable as horses, yet Set doesn't look like this - other cultures unfamiliar with, or only vaguely familiar with, African animals thought that Set represented some mythological beast.
Excellent show! Yes, definitely more with this very knowledgeable doctor! I should remind you, though, that even in the Bible there is no ONE “devil” or “satan.” There are various adversaries, including YHVH himself. Regarding the temptations of Christ, the god who was speaking obviously thought he owned the kingdoms of Israel, which was the “world” in view here. Who was that God? Based upon this video, was it YHVH? Just a thought.
A painter adds something to a painting that he likes, but upon stepping back, it doesn't fit. So he works on it and tries to get it to fit, but it won't. Sadly wiping it out of the painting is an "unconscionable act?" Do you know how the prophets linked world events to the stars? Do you have any idea where we are now in the story? For centuries epic events have been depicted in the stars and described beforehand. You snooze, you lose. Edit: difference being: we CHOOSE not to fit

We studied the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and the Yoga Sutras, and practiced Arti and many Hindu ceremonies and rituals. The Bhagavad Gita (and the Mahabharata) gives center stage to Krishna. Krishna is definitely God. As a fictional character, Krishna is more complex and likable than the insane Yahweh, but he shares the problems of all omnipotent, omniscient deities: he commits genocide, he threatens, kills, and tricks people, and he breaks all the rules that apply to the lower classes. He is also very fond of the ladies, and conversely (an improvement over Yahweh). During my Hindu period, I naturally thought that Hinduism was the best religion ever. It took me decades to see that all religions are the same bullsh*t. Now that I am aware of the disaster that is Hindu nationalism, I have gone 180°. Then I discovered Buddhist nationalism and my entire admiration of the mysterious East dissipated.
I have always known that "God" was a spirit and is the highest in love and goodness. God has no earthly characteristics, like greed, hate, jealousy which is man's way which change with feeling the ultimate touch of God.
My description of G o D differ to your version he's 'self- absorbed, narcisstic, vain-glorious, capricious, megaloman etc.
@@suatustel746 yes, YOUR personal experience of some invisible entity out there. or your own intellectual perception. other people has different and more positive experiences with God
@@tinostmrg9046 l don't have any personal experience, perception, intuition and facts. Ask yourself is life constitutes a luxurious state or consists of drudgery repeatable circles. By the way I'm not pessimistic or delusional entity.....
@@suatustel746 so you're just assuming and guessing. great ! not worth anything
@@tinostmrg9046 nono no! We're faulty products living in faulty universe. Here's my case, ake a walk on a lonely lane at night what does prey your mind immidieatly, darkness, apparition a feral animal or a human waiting to ambush you, it'd be precluded from the onset, your God allowed that so called free will. I spit on it!!!!!
I have been studying the teachings of the Essenes and other early Jewish/Christian groups, and I have learned that Yahweh/Jehovah means god of calamity, iniquity, mischief, mischievous (thing), naughtiness, naughty, noisome, perverse thing, substance, and wickedness.
Wish people would stop using the term Anti-semetic as a standalone phrase for anti Jewish. Say 'Ani-Jewish as semetic covers a group of languages. Derek should well be aware of this. Great presentation. I bought the book mentioned in the presentation, which was expensive.
I would like Derek to ask his guests their thoughts on Herod and Pilot taking the place of the high priest in the Passover and Yom Kippur analogies of the passion narratives.
This dude is just another snake oil sales man ,selling his wares . Nothing new under the sun! YAHUAH knows what's best for us , no one said it would be easy , amein.
@@markdemell8056 So your opinion is "God said it, i believe it, that settles it"?
That’s why they wouldn’t let anyone say the name. Yahweh of course had a consort who was Asherah. Wonderful show!!!
That is a plot twist...that makes sense... 👍👍
Fascinating! Im buying the book.
this is such an interesting topic
I recommend doing the topic of Jesus in India and the life of Saint issa (who is a Buddhist saint) very interesting stuff

This is the video I've been waiting for! Does this seem like evidence for the Hyksos connection who also identified with the Set deity
The Sethians were one of the main currents of Gnosticism during the 2nd and 3rd century CE, along with Valentinianism and Basilideanism (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism).
According to Epiphanius (c. 375), Sethians were in his time found only in Egypt and Palestine. Philaster (4th c, CE) places the Ophites, Cainites, and Sethians as pre-Christian Jewish sects. Sethians identified Seth with Christ (Second Logos of the Great Seth), (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism)
Thanks for confirming Egypt's acknowledgement of the exodus of Israel even though archeologist and certain historians say there is no record or evidence of an exodus from Egypt ever.Why would Egyptians weave a counter story if it were not so?
Dr Litwa, the only differences in the Egyptian version of the Exodus as you described it are
1) the Egyptians expelled the Hebrews.
2) the Egyptian version recognizes these actions as evil.
In the Hebrew version, Yahweh is also not a good god. He murders all the firstborn males of the Egyptians and causes plagues that would have killed almost all the Egyptians, who are the ones who pay for Yahweh’s evil, even though he raised up Egypt just for that purpose.
Thanks for the informative interview. 👍
Set (Egyptological: Sutekh - or Greek: Seth) is a god of storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism). It's unclear whether there is any connection of any kind between the Egyptian "Set" and the Hebrew "Seth," brother of Cain & Abel, and the third son of Adam & Eve, or if this purely a coincidence.
Merry Mythmas Derek and family.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Great video and I’m gonna order the book…I’m constantly buying books from all your guests but I can’t help it.
I’m a TRUTH SEEKER and a sponge to the all the knowledge that’s on your channel…So I soak it all up like a sponge.
Sorry but nope I can’t purchase the book as much as I’d like to…I just went on Amazon hoping to purchase it but but
being on a fixed income the price is way out of my ballpark.
Yahweh is such a miserable little bitch!
Having a all good but not all powerful God, definitely makes sense as to why there is worldly imperfection and human suffering ! Because the evil god power is there to spoil things ,but the evil power is all evil but not all powerful ,so the two forces of good and evil are in eternal conflict! The result is human suffering !
Re the Jesus on a donkey theme I would note that it first appears in gMark, and Mark the evangelist is connected with Alexandria. He supposedly was bishop of the church of Alexandria. Of course we don't actually know who wrote the "gospel of Mark", so it might not have been this Mark at all.
It's also interesting that according to the Egyptians the Semitic Hyksos people worshipped Seth.
The Hyksos were Canaanites and worshipped their own gods, they adapted some Egyptian deities when taking over the delta from the Egyptians.
@@elliottprats1910 yes, it was the Egyptian perception that they worshipped Seth, but that was probably their translation of the Canaanite god Baal.
More Litwa please!
Would be interested in getting to know what the other chapters of the book say
This is fantastic. I’ve always seen Christian god to be more akin to Set.
The Father but not the Son
wow - not anti Jewish! There's a breath of fresh air...
This was fascinating. Unfortunately I can't get the book at that price but I'll add it to my list in hopes that it will eventually be more affordable. Thank you and have him on again.
The Valentinian and Marcionite systems both posited existence of a "demiurge" (evil God). Clement of Alexandria (c.150 - c.215) reports that Valentinus (c.100 - c.180), a younger contemporary of Marcion (c. 85 - c. 160), was taught by Theudas, a disciple of Paul. The Kitos War (Jewish-Roman war in Cyrenaica/Aegyptus in 115-117) preceded Valentinianism.
“Demiurge” used by Plato 360BCE…Yaldabaoth Gnostics
Demiurge does not mean “evil” god.
fascinating talk. I'd be wild if Christianity was by Egyptian Set-defenders instead of Jewish priests
It’s myth visions aqua man 🤣good program and like the opening cartoon!
Yes! The spirit of God is riding inside of this stubborn animal who normally is just that, a stubborn animal refusing to acknowledge the non physical reality. When all the first born were killed, this was there exile. Enslaved in the flesh. So he takes control of his animal and rides it to be sacrificed ultimately freeing him from the physical. Because consciously he was freed and wasn't forced to reincarnate. Something like that.
In the O.T., King Solomon rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Jesus was following that type. So questions about the donkey representing Set would have to extend back to that time.
There may be traces of Egyptian theology in Valentinism, including Horos, "a figure entirely peculiar to Valentinian Gnosticism is that of Horos... The name is perhaps an echo of the Egyptian Horus.[14][21] ...he becomes a kind of world-creative power, who in this capacity helps to construct an ordered world out of Sophia and her passions." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentinianism#Demiurge)
I've also read that the Hyksos worshiped Set, the plot thickens.
merry Solstice day every one
Will there be paperback and Kindle versions of the book soon?
I was always taught that Satan is the "god of this world" but Satan was never supposed to be a god so I think they say, "ruler of this world" as opposed to the creator or god, he is King of the World because Adam sinned and the world was given to Satan to do mischief in. As an atheist, I don't believe any of this nonsense anymore and figuring out what ancient people actually believed when they had a completely different system of thought and took drugs and fasted for visions and lied to each other is impossible.
Summation: There were no gods, no spirits, no angels, not even "the force" involved in human history. There were men following the inclinations of men and pretending they had "god on their side" for obvious human reasons, the leaders often claimed to be gods and acted like it to enhance their power and used the rudimentary science they sponsored to do "miracles". History and fiction always include gods because it sells and because the gods were part of history just not a real part.
laughable...
you're no different than a toad living under a basket. you obviously do NOT know other parts of reality in this planet that goes against your 3D world
Well there went an hour.
Point of clarity... Set does not sport the head of a donkey. His head and his feet and his reddish color are from the aardvark, not the donkey. The aardvark is native to Africa and would have been found in the Upper Kingdom. Also, horses in Egyptian hieroglyphics are clearly identifiable as horses, yet Set doesn't look like this - other cultures unfamiliar with, or only vaguely familiar with, African animals thought that Set represented some mythological beast.
You should definitely have him back on.
Excellent show! Yes, definitely more with this very knowledgeable doctor!
I should remind you, though, that even in the Bible there is no ONE “devil” or “satan.” There are various adversaries, including YHVH himself.
Regarding the temptations of Christ, the god who was speaking obviously thought he owned the kingdoms of Israel, which was the “world” in view here. Who was that God? Based upon this video, was it YHVH? Just a thought.
Can people who leave religions leave religiosity or is it always refocused to their be beliefs?
Game over for me on these people
Very interesting.

I love the channel but crack up every time you go “WEEEE AREEEE MYTHVISSIOON” lol. Like it’s all serious then there’s that.
A painter adds something to a painting that he likes, but upon stepping back, it doesn't fit. So he works on it and tries to get it to fit, but it won't. Sadly wiping it out of the painting is an "unconscionable act?" Do you know how the prophets linked world events to the stars? Do you have any idea where we are now in the story? For centuries epic events have been depicted in the stars and described beforehand. You snooze, you lose. Edit: difference being: we CHOOSE not to fit
BTW, good work!
