I still think G-man missed a big chance - I mean 20 commandments and he ~could~ have said, like, "no slavery, no racism, equal rights for women, no war, be nice to everyone", stuff like that. But thanks for the "no cooking a kid in its mother's milk". I can honestly say I've lived up to that one!
@NonCoinCollector probably because your wife has read both sets of commandments and doesn't want to piss off Yaweh. Can't say as I blame her. . .
"no slavery, no racism, equal rights for women, no war, be nice to everyone" What if we're wrong about all that?
@@freedapeeple4049 - do you think slavery is okay? Yaweh did. He was also racist, misogynist and a war monger. If he really exists, I want no part of him. I'll go to hell before I follow the dictates of that sadistic jerk.

So between god and moses, they couldn't remember the list of original commandments so they wrote a new list, yet, somehow, they managed to write it in the bible. Unbelievable. No, really, unbelievable.
Also, how and why could this supposedly omniscient being not remember the first commandments?

At least Moses didn't have to use his hat. It just shows how gullible people are if it is in a minority's interest to perpetuate a lie. They can indoctrinate the population by ritual and pomp to such an extent the indoctrinated do the indoctrination for them. This applies to so many religions.

Exodus 34: 4-7 -- God outs himself as a malignant narcissist. As if that wasn't already obvious.
Yes and you are humanity's perfect example of what is right. The difference between God's anger or jealousy is that is devoid of the emotions we have that skew our judgement. What is the alternative, stare and marvel at creation and pretend there wasn't a creator, you're teeming with logic. People joke about this bible because it makes them analyze themselves, and that is what they fear the most.
@@destroyingtheworksofthedev9349 Bruh... Anger devoid of emotion? The very thing it IS? What else? Maybe you should start doing what you fear most and start analyzing yourself like you preach...
We stare and marvel at a reality, not creation. I guess there must be a realiter as well.
I stare at a computer screen right now. I guess there must be a computer screener too. Oh wait, you're telling me that it's made by a machine controlled by multiple people? And created by multiple people, while invented by different multiple people? Oops. I guess I'm going to believe in the Gods of Olimp now.
@@nati0598 SO I have no clue what you're addressing me about. Human anger is emotional, God's is not. Are you saying God is an emotional being and his judgment can be effected by his emotional angry outbursts?
@@destroyingtheworksofthedev9349 I'm saying such a being doesn't exist, because it's contradictory. Just like you can't have someone who lashes out lovingly, or abuses compassionately.

My friend it's not wise to make fun of holy scripture
@@gracewilliams6145 Was your comment to me? And, should I assume, since those who consider a 'sripture' holy, claim those they were raised with, that, this being USA, you mean the modern christian Bible? Not any of the much older hindu scriptures, or greek, roman , sumerian or, well, honestly, just about every culture has had their 'holy' scriptures. The bible we know today, is so very different from the early versions. First Paul created a lot of it, using, of course the Hebrew torah that he grew up with. But, he had to change a lot of the laws, since he wanted to bring in the non jews. Then, later church 'fathers' added to his writings, though using his name, to add that women couldn't have any power in it, contrary to all of pauls' early teachings. So, reading ot now makes it even more contradictory and nonsensical than it was! But, even what we have non, reads like a comedy of errors, as the gods in both the old and new 'testaments' grow and change as you read from cover to cover. Like all other fables. I'm not sure why people revere these books, other than being raised to. Their age? There are others much older. And, archeology, geology, biology and astronomy have all proven all these stories just poorly written mythology. So of course we can laugh at our ancient, silly fears. Especially considering the terrible harm they've done, and continue to do, to our species! 🥰✌
I laughed out loud when god spoke about how he’s loving and not quick to anger. I think all the Egyptians who lost their first born sons would beg to differ.
God was slow to anger, Moses said to pharaoh that God excalimed "let my people Go" multiple times. But pharaoh was adamant to let them go so God sent different warnings to pharaoh: Locust, water to blood and frogs. But he still wouldn't let them go. So God unleashed his perfect wrath among pharaoh. An even worse wrath awaits YOU and This youtuber and everyone who supports him!

Another surprise: God hates 'Asherah poles'. I think Asherah was the goddess and wife of the god El. Yahweh was also called El. So does that mean, at sometime in the distance past, God and Asherah broke up and he does not want to talk about it? Must have been a nasty divorce. We all have seen this before. No wonder he has got anger issues. #InquiringMindsWantToKnow
Asherah was God's wife and both were worshipped. Obviously, the male priests wanted rid of her, but it didnt work as she became Ashteroth, Astarte, Isis and Ishtar. Every year we have a celebration for Ishtar whose Celtic name was Eostre - Easter!
Her worship was continued by the Catholic Church under the guise of Mary. All of these goddesses were Queens of Heaven and stars of the sea, Stella Maris, Maria..
I like to think that when Yahweh challenged for the right to rule the other gods he took both the name of El and his wife as his own and then slowly disowned her.
In reality, what probably happened was that after polytheism and henotheism became unpopular in the Middle East and monotheism was becoming more popular, the priests starting editing out some of the aspects of the other gods and attributed everything thing they could to Yahweh. This was in addition to the power grab they did by banning the use of the other shrines.
They then removed and/or destroyed the ritual objects of the other gods in the temple and edited parts of the texts to make it look like they were always strictly monotheistic.
They still left a few tidbits here and there to not piss off the other worshippers too much.
Its hilariously ironic because, as another person stated, Christianity basically reimplemented the worship of Ashera under another name all we need is a tree or pole of some kin- hey, is that a cross?!
It's all gibberish because people's pea Brains can't understand there place in the universe...it's primitive and has had its chance.....toss it into a skip
Well, Yahweh inherited El's wife as the Israelites transitioned from polytheism to monotheism. He was originally *a* son of El.
The Israelites emerged out of the **older** Canaanite culture. Canaanite and Hebrew languages are indistinguishable the further you go back in time. *Hebrew is essentially a Canaanite dialect.* This has been shown by linguistics analysis and also addressed by Dr Christine Hayes at Yale University in her lectures, hence why she says when you go back far enough in time you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between Canaanite and Hebrew.
Lecture 7 from 30:00 minutes onwards and lecture 8 from 12:00 to 19:00 minutes.
Also Google *"Jews and Arabs Descended from Canaanites - Biblical Archaeology Society."*
Inscriptions were found in the form of blessings referencing *"Yahweh and his Asherah"* when Asherah was originally the wife of the *older* Canaanite god El. This is shown in the article *"God’s Wife Edited Out of the Bible - Almost."* Asherah became the wife of Yahweh as he inherited the top spot in the pantheon, before religious reforms.
*Inscriptions found at Kuntillet Ajrud (dated between 850 and 750 BCE) say:*
I bless you through Yahweh of Samaria,
and through his Asherah!
*And at El Qom (from the same period) this inscription:*
Uriyahu, the king, has written this.
Blessed be Uriyahu through Yahweh,
and his enemies have been conquered
through Yahweh's Asherah.
*That Yahwists worshipped Asherah until the 3rd century before Christ is well known from the Elephantine Papyri. Thus, for many in ancient Israel, Yahweh, like Baal, had a consort.*
Yahweh has the same characteristics and descriptions as *both* the Canaanite gods El and Baal. Yahweh is described as riding on the clouds just like Baal and Yahweh is also depicted as defeating the same enemies as Baal. This is outlined by Dr Hayes in her lectures.
*El and Yahweh are attributed same characteristics.*
El is depicted as a wise old man with a beard eg “You are great, O El, and your hoary beard instructs you”. Yahweh is described in the same terms (Daniel 7:9, Job 36:26, Habakkuk 3:6). Like “Kind El, the Compassionate”, Yahweh is a “merciful and gracious god”. The description of Yahweh’s dwelling place as a tent (Psalms 15:1, 27:6, 91:10) recalls the tent of El in the Canaanite narrative of Elkunirsa. Finally, both Yahweh and El are said to dwell amidst cosmic waters (Isaiah 33:20-22, Ezekiel 47:1-12, Zechariah 14:8).
*Yahweh is also depicted as defeating Baal’s classic enemies:*
Baal/Yahweh defeats a seven headed dragon, Leviathan, and River (CAT 5.1, Psalm 74:13-15).
Baal/Yahweh defeats Sea (KTU 1.14, Psalm 89:10).
Baal/Yahweh defeats Death/Mot (KTU 1.4 VIII-1.6, Isaiah 25:8).
The Canaanite gods El and Asherah have *70* sons. According to the table of nations there were *70* nations after the *supposed* flood (there was never a global flood). In ancient times each god was thought to reside over a particular territory or people. This ties in with the paragraph below and as explained in *"The Most Heiser"* article, based on the *majority scholarly consensus.* Yahweh was only originally the patron deity of the Israelites just like the Canaanite god Chemosh was the patron deity of the Moabites. Yahweh was assigned the people of Israel by El the *Most High (Elyon)* god in the Canaanite pantheon.
The ancient city of Ugarit was discovered in 1928 in Syria. The height of the Ugaritic civilization was around the 12th Century BCE making them contemporaries with the Israelites. Also, the religion and language of the Ugarit people are very similar to that of the Israelites. Excavations of the site revealed an ancient library filled with clay tablets. *One such tablet states that El Elyon had seventy sons (the Elim) and each son was allocated to a specific people* ((El and Asherah had 70 sons)).
*Can you see the close parallels between Deuteronomy 32:8, Genesis 10 and the Ugarit tablets? According to these sources, Elyon divided up all the nations into* **seventy** *nations ((El and Asherah had 70 sons)), one for each of his sons (Elim).*
The Canaanite god El under his title *Elyon (Most High)* in Deuteronomy 32:8-9 assigns the people of Jacob to Yahweh just like the Canaanite god Chemosh is assigned to the people of Moab in Numbers 21:29. This ties in with the Table of Nations and each god being assigned to their own territory and people. Yahweh received Israel from El. This is outlined in the article *"The Most Heiser"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.*
*Other biblical passages reaffirm this archaic view of Yahweh as a god in El’s council. Psalm 82:1 speaks of the “assembly of El,” Psalm 29:1 enjoins “the sons of El” to worship Yahweh, and Psalm 89:6-7 lists Yahweh among El’s divine council.*
In Psalm 82, we see Yahweh *not at the head of the pantheon, but later asked to assume the job of all gods.* “Yahweh stands in the *divine assembly of El.* Among the divinities, he pronounces judgment… Arise O Yahweh, judge the world; *for You inherit all the nations.”* Genesis 49:24-25 and Numbers 23-24 also view YHWH and El existing as distinct deities. Why would Yahweh have to inherit all the nations if he was the top god and creator of the world and universe? Shouldn't they be his already? This is explained in *"The Most Heiser"* article based on the *majority scholarly consensus.*
All this ties together to show that Yahweh was originally a lesser god in the Canaanite pantheon who inherited the top position and assimilated both El and Baal and inherited El’s wife as the Israelites transitioned from polytheism to monotheism, before religious reforms "divorced" Yahweh from Asherah as he became the one "true" god. He followed the same pattern of development as other fictional gods in the ANE (Ancient Near East). This is outlined in the article *"The Most Heiser"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.*
The two contradictory Genesis accounts make sense now as one version represents the older polytheism with El talking to his pantheon with "Let *us* (gods ((El)ohim)) make man in *our* image". The other Genesis account refers to YHWH/Yahweh and monotheism.
*The Canaanite pantheon was conceived as a divine clan, headed by the supreme god El; the gods collectively made up the (El)ohim.* Through the centuries, the pantheon of Canaanite gods evolved, so that El and Asherah were more important in earlier times, while Baal and his consorts came to fore in later years. Some of the deities listed below are mentioned only briefly in the Canaanite texts, while others were important locally or nationally-such as Chemosh-but not throughout the region. Still others, such a Moloch, are known mainly from Hebrew texts
*Anat* -goddess of war, ever-virgin sister-wife of Baal, honored as a protector, agent of vengeance, and bearer of life
*Asherah* -early semitic Mother goddess, "Lady of the sea," *consort of El,* also called Athirat, the *mother of 70 gods*
Astarte-goddess of love and fertility, sometimes the consort of Baal/Hadad
Baalat or Baalit-the chief deity of Byblos, also identified with Astarte and Aphrodite
*Ba'al* -meaning "Lord," god of rain, thunder, and fertility, sometimes synonymous with Hadad; also used as a title prefixing the names of local deities
Baal-Hammon-god of fertility and renewal in the Phoenician colonies of the Western Mediterranean
*Chemosh* -the national god of Moab, referred to in both Moabite and Hebrew texts
*Dagon* -god of crop fertility, sometimes identified with Hadad
*El* -the chief deity, god of the sky, father of many lesser gods and ruler of the divine assembly, *also worshiped by the Israelites*
*El* *Elyon*-Special title of El as "God *Most High"*
Eshmun-Phoenician god of healing
Kathirat-a group of goddesses appearing in the Ugartic texts as divine midwives
Kothar-full name Kothar-wa-Khasis, the skilled, clever god of craftsmanship and weapon-making
Lotan-the seven-headed *(sound familiar?)* sea serpent or dragon, the pet of Yam or Yam's alter ego, *related to the biblical Leviathan*
Melqart-also called Baal-Melkart, the god who is king of the city, the underworld, and the cycle of vegetation in Tyre, *also the patron of the Israelite queens Jezebel and Athaliah*
*Moloch* -title for the god who is "king," probably identical with Milcom and known mainly from the Hebrew Bible as the deity to whom child sacrifices were offered
*Mot* -god of the underworld, sterility, death, and the waterless desert
Nikkal-goddess of fruit and orchards, married to Yarikh
Qadeshtu-the Holy One, goddess of love, also a title given to Asherah and related to the Egyptian goddess Hathor
Resheph-God of plague and healing
*Shalim* and Shachar -twin gods of dusk and dawn
Shamayim-the god of the sky or the heavens
*Shemesh* -Mesopotamian god of the sun also worshiped in Canaan, meaning "sun" in Hebrew possibly related to the hero, Samson
Tanit-Phoenician lunar goddess, worshiped as the patron goddess at Carthage, and sometimes identified with Astarte or Anat
*Yam* -god of the sea
Yarikh-god of the moon, *after whom the city of Jericho was named;* Lord of the sickle, provider of nightly dew; married to the goddess Nikkal
*Yahweh* -The Israelite god, worshiped not only by the Hebrews but *also by eastern Canaanites such as the prophet Balaam (Numbers 22) and the Shashu of Edom*
*Further, most Israelite cities were named after the gods in El’s assembly.*
The god *Anat* was honored in the city of Anathoth, the place of origin of the prophet Jeremiah.
The god *Dagan (Dagon)* in Beth-Dagan.
The god *El* in Beth-El.
The god *Shamash (Shemesh)* in Beth-Shamash.
The god *Shalimu (Shalim)* in Jerusalem.

Very strange superpowers.
The ‘god of the gaps’ objection is an overused atheist cliché. In popular atheist discourse it is commonly used as an
indiscriminate intellectual weapon. The assumption of this objection is that science will eventually explain the need for
God by providing explanations for the currently unexplained phenomena. In the context of the design argument, the ‘god
of the gaps’ objection carries little weight. Here are four reasons why:
1. When an atheist puts forward this objection, he or she is essentially claiming that given the scientific data we have
accumulated thus far, a designer is actually the best explanation for the universe’s design, but there’s still some hope
that in some unspecified future, scientific progress will refute the design argument. This is nothing short of blind faith in
science, as it is tantamount to saying, “Science cannot address this issue, but we have hope.”
2. The atheist’s predicament gets worse once we consider that a key premise of the ‘god of the gaps’ objection is false.
It holds that science will eventually close the gap in our knowledge. However, science does not always close the gaps;
it sometimes widens them. A hundred years ago we believed that cells were just blobs of protoplasm. However, since
the 1950s we have become aware of the vast information-coding system in all cells. This discovery, instead of answering
our questions, widened the gap in our understanding of how the first cells emerged.
3. I would like to ask the atheist to consider what questions science has actually answered. Science has shown
mechanisms within the universe, how everything works and the physical laws involved. However, science has failed to
provide answers to questions that have deep existential significance. Science has not explained fine-tuning, the
beginning of the universe the origins of life, nor the nature and emergence of consciousness. Science does not have a
good track record of answering questions that have profound metaphysical implications.
4. The atheist assumes that the God explanation is a scientific one. Postulating a cosmic designer is a philosophical (or
metaphysical) explanation, which aims to explain the finetuning of the universe.
Notwithstanding, some atheists maintain that the ‘god of the gaps’ objection is an argument from ignorance and not an
adherence to the position that science will one day fill the gap. They maintain that not knowing how a finely-tuned
universe was produced is arguing from ignorance. They also argue that the design argument assumes the knowledge
gap will remain forever. This formulation of the ‘god of the gaps’ objection assumes that behind every gap has (or should
have) a naturalistic explanation. The design explanation is a metaphysical explanation that best explains our current
knowledge of the universe’s finely-tuned features. Further, the design explanation can also be considered as an
inference to the best explanation. Inference to the best explanation is not an argument from ignorance; it is an
indispensable way of thinking that attempts to coherently explain a set of data and/or background information. The design
conclusion is the inference to the best explanation given the data we currently have. Instead of indiscriminately using
the ‘god of the gaps’ objection, the atheist should show why the design explanation is not the best explanation and
provide a better one for everyone to assess
@@nomejest5919 The ‘god of the gaps’ objection is an overused atheist cliché.
(No, i think it is accurate that every single time when humans have not been able to explain something with science, there have been countless theists screaming "my god did that". Now in the 21 century where we are able to explain pretty much everything with science, the place where gods can exist has become very very tiny. Pretty much only two big unanswered questions remain, the origin of the universe and how exactly the first living cells formed, and given that theists have been wrong in 100% of all the other times they screamed "god did that", i see no reason to think that they might be correctthis time.
And anyway, "god did that" has no explanatory power, it is basically the same as "magic". And please understand that even if we would know for a fact that some strange divine power created the universe, you would still be at 0% to demonstrate that your god is real.)
1. When an atheist puts forward this objection, he or she is essentially claiming that given the scientific data we have
accumulated thus far, a designer is actually the best explanation for the universe’s design
(Sorry, but what an unreal dumb and unscientific statement. Please understand that our universe is dead and lethal to way over 99.9999999999999999999999999999...%, full of exploding and imploding galaxies, supernovas and black holes, please explain in what way this is evidence for an intelligent creator, and for which of the endless amount of different godclaims this should be evidence?

scientific progress will refute the design argument.
(Science is a tool, it deals with stuff you can test, observe and measure. imaginary creatures from the darkage are not part of that. All science has to say about supernatural stuff is that it has never been demonstrated to even be possible, let alone plausible.)
This discovery, instead of answering
our questions, widened the gap in our understanding of how the first cells emerged.
(Dude, it is not my intention to insult you but come on, you live in the 21 century, we know pretty much everything there is to know from 1 cell organisms to what we have today, and all this knowledge is so much more fascinating than fairytales about talking snakes and magic creatures made out of dirt or ribs.)
Science has not explained...
(So you prefer a lie instead of the only true answer which is "nobody knows"?
And in which of the endless amount of gods should atheists now believe? "This universe is only dead and lethal to about 99.99999999999...%, this shows that...(fill in the god you have been brainwashed to accept as real before you reached the age of reason)?!

@@hitman5782 sorry, but ur only argument was that god is a fairy tale nothing else.
@@hitman5782 u cant perceive god. Science has its limits. Be realistic. Dont tell me to be realistic when ur asking for evidence of a supernatural being. Sorry, but that is retarded. God is complex, more complex than science. Science cant disapprove nor approve that god exists. Stop thinking god is a creation. This is ur bad habit.

Exodus 34:7 (Yahweh) does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.
Contrary to Ezekiel 18:20 “… The child will not share the guilt of the parent…”
So at least the injustice of Exodus is contradicted by one verse. 😏
Wow, I'll add that to my notes.

@@scienceexplains302 that’s great! The episodes on the concept of “time” fascinate me the most.
Brian Greene’s books and topics at “World Science Festival” site are so educational! He wrote a book called “The Fabric of the Cosmos”. Chapters 5 & 6 are amazing at describing time related to Einsteins theory of Relativity... (particularly special relativity) and the space time continuum. Describes how the passage of time is but an illusion relative to the whole block of Spacetime and the arrow of entropy. He talks about how gravity, accelerated motion, and relative motion between great distances ( billions of light years) can yield a HUGE discrepancy in “now” moments of simultaneity between 2 observers in different “ time frames”.
Amazing perspectives that align with science.
“Um, God?”
“Yes”

“Yeah, but those 10 commandments don’t matter anymore.”
Yeah Jack, I've just been.
I always thought it was funny that Moses had to go up a mountain, since God is supposed to be every where.
I don't know how true it is,but I remember hearing or reading,that one of the signs that a kid or youth might be headed for psychopathy is if they are cruel to animals early on for no other reason than that it gives them pleasure.I wonder if breaking a donkey's neck or boiling a young goat in it's mother's milk would qualify?
Definitely, the characters portrayed in these bible narratives characters are sociopathic/psychopathic in their behavior. A literal book of horrors.
I can't believe exactly 2 years ago I was a Christian. Now I feel like Adam after eating the fruit. My eyes are opened.
God wants you to be dumb so you will buy the spell of the buybull. Adam after all ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Just like Cristian's now days want to teach children their version of history and science.
After serving as a musician in the church for years, I gave up the religion because I found that there is no god. Then starting to look at Christianity from an atheistic outsiders point of view. This religion is seriously messed up.
Welcome to reality.

I know, seriously. It's all so stupid. Especially this chapter.

Found your channel about 2 weeks ago. Love your vids. Binged your Genesis videos and am now working through Exodus. Keep up the good work.
Moses !.....Moses ! ....
I am your lord. And you must follow these rules. Rule 1 : Do not look behind the curtain.

Now just to ask the next person who insists on the Ten Commandments be in school & government buildings about the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
I think I'll make up some billboards with ALL of gods commandments as relayed to moses, and offer to post them in some school and church yards. The patrons would have a FIT, even though it all came directly from the "mouth of their god".

@@harveywabbit9541 cool story
Good luck Hemant Mehta! You got this!
Is it me, or does everything God says sound like something a child would say?
Wow great observation
I honestly suspect that "The Ten Commandments" is only a big deal to Christians simply because of that movie with Charlie Heston. Childhood memories.
Yes, Hollywood reformulated the narrative, centrifuged, sliced and diced it, churning it out to promote a heroic Yahweh and moses. The religious masses loved it, and Hollywood merched it very successfully.
What is the deal with this yeast obsession?
Wonder if baking powder would be okay?
I think it is to remind the people of the Exodus when then had to bake unleavened bread to flee Egypt. No time to wait for yeast to rise. ?
To remind the Israelites how they fled really fast when he freed them as slaves, they fled so fast they didn't have time to have yeast. That's the real reason.
Have any of the other rules been mentioned as much as the yeast rule at at this point? Obviously not including the all-important "Tell God he kicks ass and don't work on the special God day" rules.
Man do I love this series! Thanks again for making these
And for the second course of commandments i give you cooking instructions!
Your BS meter goes up with the stipulation that Moses goes alone lol
I am merciful slow to anger and forgiving- now obey as I wipe out these people who don’t know about me and therefore I must punish them with torture and death. These are my important rules : no yeast if I tell you no yeast, praise me 3 times a year, don’t do the goat milk thing, screw the dont kill rule , Moses was higher than a kite from all the bush burning when he returned to Aaron. The veil is the proof -spread these laws Christians!!
I watched this again. FA is extraordinarily good at this. His dry humor and wit are SO funny😂 ......while consistently remaining SO polite, but impactful!
@@harveywabbit9541 When you can expertly and effectively implement humor and ask pertinent rhetorical questions instead...but that is a gift that he has.
We have several problems here. First: Yahweh keeps saying that whoever sees his face will die, but Moses go to see him every time he goes up the mountain.
Second: he says that he is so compassionate and loving but the very next sentence he says he is a jealous god and those who don't believe in him must be destroyed.
Third: you can't survive more than three days without water, and three weeks without food.
Nice try.
How come this God guy wants to hide away so much what has he got to hide.
Two things. First, shout-out to Moses for being able to chisel out two stone tablets using likely homemade tools, and doing so in maybe a day or two. That's skill. Second, is Yeast God's Kryptonite?

If his face is that radiant, i might worry he had radiation poisoning
Whenever the tablets are depicted, they always look like tall grave stones, like the old school kind that stand up. Stone tablets that size would easily weigh 100 pounds EACH . If not more. And Moses walked to the top of a mountain with these things??? Has anybody tested Moses yet? I think he's juicin, because that is a straight world's strongest man event right there.
Also, they had things similar to back packs in those days, wicker for the most part, but yes everyone was always carrying some large sort of thing unless they were of a higher caste. So it's not a stretch he would have hauled stones in a basket up a mountain in search of mushrooms.
He got everything that was wrong with exodus 34 into one 14 minute video - impressive.
I am a horrible evil God, but fear me the right way and we'll call that love and do psychotic stuff in my name and I'll let you into heaven
That’s what normal people call gaslighting and an abusive relationship

Ah the Ten Commandments.Only 3 of the ten deal with human beings. The rest are there to stroke God's fragile ego especially the first one😂
I absolutely love your commentary, and your reading of the Bible! I hurt myself laughing!! 🤣🤣Thank you!
I dont get the whole yeast thing? Brewers yeast is full of B- vitamins and is good for ya, Im confusion.
Happy Sun Day everyone!~
Happy Sun Day to you Gary!
Wow, I had no idea this was actually the final version of the commandments. You learn something new everyday.
Moses took the elevator.
Hemant does make reading (er following along with) the Bible a much more pleasant experience. I vote with him, let's put this version of the ten commandments in the schools, in front of the courthouses, on billboards, every vacant lot in America, wherever two or more gather, as it is written, so shall it be done!!
Thanks for this! I was wondering where in the Bible the real ten commandments were. Google search didn't help, but you did. Thanks again
At last, my favorite argument against putting up the Ten Commandments on government buildings. People who want that have not read all the way through Exodus to learn that these are the actual Ten Commandments of the Bible. Here's the full list for fun!
1: God is jealous.
2: No idols.
3: No Yeast!
4: God gets all the firstborn, including the animals.
5: Take a day off. Use it to kiss God's ass.
6: Happy New Year!
7: Visit God in Israel 3 times a year. (We're ALL going to Hell for this one! XD)
8: Seriously, no Yeast!
9: Give God goodies!
10: Don't cook a goat in its mother's milk. (SERIOUSLY?! PFT HAHAHAHAHA!)
Ha Ha ,,,,that was great summary.
@NonCoinCollector That is a great idea to print up an Exodus summary. Just curious if you did one for Genesis?
Lord Krishna finds this amusing. Plays His bamboo flute and meditated on a comfy blanket. Hard Krishna Om!
Years ago I had a Jewish friend. We use to go to 'All You Can Eat BBQ Joints' a lot. He had no trouble eating sausages & pork ribs BUT the first time I added sour cream to my plate, he got very upset. He had religious objections to eating any dairy product and any meat. After I did some research & pointed out the taboo 'Do not boil a baby goat in it's mother's milk' did not apply eat pork and cow dairy products. This did not convince him. Surprise, surprise.
I may be wrong but I believe there are 139 commandments, one of them being no tattoos. I so enjoy these videos, it makes me really LOL sometimes, well done.
@@jack3708 Watched about half of it, straight away the pics he used to denigrate the friendly atheist really demonstrates that he is not a nice christian at all and knows his argument is weak because he won't address all 25 reasons if he was there to defend his faith a true believer would.
Something I've been pondering recently regarding worship of idols, if Adam was clay shaped in the image of God wouldn't that make him an idol? Would that then mean Satan was right to not bow in worship of Adam?
Hmmmm
Secret meeting alone...
Moses has a flushed face and hides behind a veil...

Even the old 10 commandments.... they too would turn kids into atheists so quickly... if they put the required punishment right next to each one.... especially if parents used the "though shalt not covet" one whenever they coveted a new XBox or video game because their friends had one.... or an iPhone or Nike because the cool kids had one.

That's exactly what I thought when I read this chapter. "Wait, those other commandments that everyone talks about aren't the real ones?" This puts a real kink in the belief that our laws are based on the ten commandments. 🙄😕
I Love you
I pray! Make this, make sense!!!
Brilliant exposition
I think popular culture is partly to blame, for only highlighting the "incredible" parts of Bible when presenting it to general society, while persistently glossing over and ignoring many of the horrible and stupid verses of the Bible.
Which is why I think MANY Christians were offended when a man actually posted bigoted, mysoginistic verses of the Bible and Christians are often "surprised" the Bible endorses slavery.
You could put these new commandments up and it would not make anyone turn atheist. Christians find new mental gymnastics to rationalize anything put before them.
I agree. They would still want their sky daddy following them around, immortality in a pleasure paradise, and eternal punishment for the "unbelievers" So yes, let the mental gymnastics commence.

I have to add that as another god trait, lies through his teeth.
This whole "the tablets broke so we gotta make them again" is classic crappy and poorly thought out filler.
Hey, my main man, Moses can do anything. If he can turn a staff into a real live snake, why can't god give him superman like strength to carry 200 pound stone tablets up a mountain. Further, if Moses ate a lot of cheese, it is easy to bind up the mountain.
Thanks to god, we have a 6 day work-week, when a 4 day work-week is more reasonable. If god hadn't taken so many interim breaks throughout the day, it would have taken only took 5 days to create earth, then we could have a four day work-week, and rest every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Just as well as to not boil a baby goat in it's mother's milk, i suppose, as goat milk is awful.
Except to a baby goat, of course.

9:30 This implies that a conversation like this happened at some point:
"Wow, this meat is good! How'd you make it?"
"I cooked a goat while it was drowning in it's mother's milk."
"Excuse me, what-"
About that "redeem your firstborn son" bit:
There's a very strong case to be made that they indeed initially were sacrificing their firstborn sons.
In later parts of the texts, you will see that it says that if a *person* is dedicated for destruction/sacrifice, they are not allowed to be redeemed. This was in conjunction with laws about gifts to the temple which included donkeys. Which can be redeemed or have it's neck broken. Sound familiar?
In Numbers, 32 virgin girls were sent to the temple along with other animals that were used for sacrifice. They were sent to Yahweh on command by Yahweh (or so Moses said anyway).
And then in Ezekiel, God admits:
KJV Ezekiel 20:26
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
This means he, at some point, ABSOLUTELY commanded child sacrifice. Despite other texts saying that he totally didn't.
All of this is to say that, the religion of the Ancient Israelites were very much alike their neighbors until monotheism got popular and a lot of changes were made.
Lines were added here and there to try and smooth over the different traditions that they mixed together to form their identity.
I had no idea Judaism also had the "well, I'll do it again, but it won't be the same" moment that Mormonism had.

@@harveywabbit9541 what dose the sun have to do with it? Christianity is a relatively new if you know anything about the history of religion. there are several religions that pre-date Christianity where the sun is god.
Also supposedly he made the sun... (some how after he made night and day.), So if he made the sun, if I look at the sun it can't be him because he made it. Christianity is confusing and contradictory
@@GrantFrankBurton And so is the ancient pagan polytheistic mythology confusing. ... gods, goddesses, constellations, sun, moon, planets assigned to be gods ,goddesses,etc. This is what predated the Abrahamic monotheistic religions, and is invariably interwoven throughout them all.

Christianity and Islam were the new religions that incorporated and evolved from Judaism.
34:4-7 almost sounds like two books of the Bible being stacked against each other to show contradictions. It’s just contradicting verses back to back.

@@harveywabbit9541 Speaking of migratory birds, I had 4 hummingbirds in my backyard this summer (1 pair ruby throated). As of yesterday I saw only one come to the feeder. Probably the others have left on their migration south. I expect this little one to leave any time as well. I found these interesting factoids.
"Some hummingbirds travel over 2,000 miles twice a year. They winter in Central America or Mexico and migrate north to their breeding grounds in the U.S. during late winter and early spring. Hummingbirds will typically gain 25-40 percent of their body weight before they start migration in order to make their trip. They generally fly alone, often on the same path they’ve flown earlier in their life.
Hummingbirds fly by day when sources of nectar are the most abundant. They also fly low, which allows the birds to see, and stop at, food supplies along the way. Research indicates a hummingbird can travel as much as 23 miles in one day.
Not only do hummingbirds move from place to place quickly, but their body parts also move rather fast as well. A hummingbird's heart beats from 225 times per minute when it’s at rest and more than 1,200 times per minute when it is flying. Its wings beat about 70 times per second in regular flight and more than 200 times per second while diving."
It's so funny when there's a Pure Flix ad before a video like this starts
