From Miriam’s case, no wonder the Christian cult i was in at their funeral for the members, they will not talk much about the dead. If they will talk the memory of them its only said in few minutes and the rest 40,50 minutes will be about the Bible sermon. I always felt sorry for the unbelievers who attended the funeral had to listen to the doctrines, instead of the memory of the dead.
My grandmother died recently and I had to sit in that church, listening to the bullshit the preacher spewed. Talking about death and how sad and unfair it is, but the very next sentence he says "but honour god". Ridiculous.
@@kevinvorster9777 Yes, and I understand resurrection for some might be the hope that will be comforting, but the problem is, this Bible God who is said to be the epitome of LOVE, doesn’t He have to be the one to rescue anyone who is facing death, first and foremost! I don’t understand anymore why a LOVING BEING will plan to let people die first and just leave a word in a book saying, anyway you’ll resurrect!?
1. You know, I like that they give Miriam her due in "Prince of Egypt". Give credit to the real genius behind the operation, given that she saved Moses' life by giving him to Pharaoh's daughter. 2. "You can't get blood from a stone", the saying goes, but you CAN, apparently, get water. I read this weird book once where the stone floats beside them for the rest of their journey, so they always have water. 3 .Well, no, they still get to murder everyone in Canaan (spoilers...), but it's under Joshua, not Moses. 4. Sigh, Jacob and Esau STILL having family trouble even after, what? A thousand years? Well, no, maybe a few hundred. 5. Seems pretty quick and nonviolent, the way Aaron dies, so...God-induced heart attack or sudden stroke? Happens every day. Happened to my uncle last year around Christmastime. I didn't know the man, though: he lived far away. He just fell asleep on the couch one night and died in his sleep. Good way to go. The difference here is God-induced", though. Sucks hat Moses loses both his siblings in the span of, like, 24 hours, though. I have to look up how Orthodox Jews do the mourning thing if two or more close relatives die in a short amount of time, or if, say, both their parents die in a car crash, that kind of thing.
Aaron follows Moses up the mountain. 'Fuck... bring plagues on Egypt... help Moses lead these assholes for years... and what thanks do I get? Two of my sons die because they lit a fire the wrong way... and now I die on top of a mountain? Call that job satisfaction, cause I don't. Gave me a pass on making the golden calves... but strike a rock two times and see what happens!"

@@Daniel-cz7kd A strawman argument is when you create a false premise then debate it rather than the topic at hand. He is not "teaching the bible", therefore he is not doing it incorrectly. He is reading a document that is purported to be the words of an omnipotent and omniscient deity. He adds conversation based on critical thinking along with some observational humor. My comment is based on the words he is reading, the words in the book say a lot of people died because they didn't do what "god" said. I have read this book as a christian, which made me quit being one, I am reading it again with Hemant because it this book has huge implications for humanity. As the living word of the most powerful being it should not require any teaching, interpretation or clarification. It should withstand endless scrutiny, but it does not. The book and its message have been used as justification for tyranny, murder and abuse of our fellow man for centuries. It is an important piece of history but not in a good way. Humanity will be much better off if we can rid ourselves of the need for a god created in man's image.
@@willj1598 You’re correct, as Turek, Cliffe and, I think, my friend have explained, humanity will be much better off if we can rid ourselves of a god created in man’s image. Simply people prefer their own god as I’ve figured out from different sources. As I understand, conversation happens when two or more people talk to each other over some topic(s), issue(s) etc. However, Hemant reads the document or a part of it, he then looks at the camera in the manner of looking to the audience and shares an interpretation of his and returns to the document and continues the cycle, last I checked, that’s a teaching way of sharing something. The title can be used as grounds for a conversion, but like I said he needs at least one more person to make it an actual conversion. You said “We will be most surprised if your intro ever says “nobody dies in this one””, as I remember, none of the scrolls shown on the screen have that intro written in them, and besides, I understood you referred to Hemant’s introductory prepositional phrase, if I had that wrong, excuse me, but I don’t know how else to understand your comment.
@@Daniel-cz7kd Thanks, I agree with you that teaching can take many forms. I think whether he is teaching or not is also somewhat dependent on his audience. If some are listening to learn about the bible or his view of it then he certainly is teaching. I took the initial comment to mean he was not teaching correctly, specifically that he was not teaching the bible's point of view correctly. That was my assumption that was not explicitly stated. I also took the original statement to be critical of his, and my own, point of view on the topic. That may or may not be the case. Either way, I appreciate your comment and perspective.
My thoughts exactly! It doesn't seem to even understand that if you don't give people enough food and water, they will get cranky and die! This gawwud isn't omnipresent either since it isn't present in hell or in many people's lives/ minds. And, it had to keep asking people where they were and what they had done.
@@Daniel-cz7kd It is what you don't know that trips you up. Formrt Baptist Sunday school teaxher that understands that terrible book all too well. a run down of the good parts would be short indeed. i have come to know I am not broken, and don't need the anti-snake oil.
The Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes? Maybe some of the Psalms, and the Song of Solomon. But some of those glaze over Isaiah 45:7 - badly, and minimize troubling issues, a lot. Whilst Titus 1:14 is kind of nice - if a bit flying in the face of other New Testament claims. The problem still is, much of the nice verses, and ideas, will still often not be wholly unique to this one, singular, religion. And Augustine could not even define if we all died 'in' Adam, or because of his actions. See also the doctrine of 'total depravity' for the interpretation, at it's most extreme.
Soon we'll read about Moses dying in a book that was supposedly written by Moses. Also, Moses and God were alone on the mountaintop, so who saw it happen and wrote it down?
When you said: "We'll go back to the basics", I thought "No, not an other chapter, where we count all the members of all the tribes, followed by a page long genealogy"...
Hahaaaa took me 3 days but I finally caught up from half way through Leviticus! Had to binge watch me some boring ass rules repeatedly, animal sacrifice, sexism, slave rules, and god starting to do the same thing to the Israelites as he did to the Egyptians!!! Wild bro 🤟🏻😆
the craziness of the bible is why I have a short story where Lucifer is the good guy. He freed them from ignorance in the Garden, he freed them from Yahweh's slavery (the "flight from Egypt" is a distorted version of truth) and took them to another land in another universe to be free) that's why God is so inconsistent. He co-opting Lucifer's heroic deeds and combining them with his own horrific actions
Rosalie Timmerman What bible is that? How do you know Lucifer was in the garden? And if he’s the “good guy” why doesn’t he do anything else good or heroic for humans ever since the garden, especially since Adam and Eve were kicked out of a beautiful place of love, happiness and joy.
@@Daniel-cz7kd science was delayed by millennia because of the church. It was only in the last few centuries when scientists left the church that they made their discoveries. Same with inventors, literature, art, technology just to mention a few. Let's assume that this god and Lucifer exists for a moment. Lucifer has done more for mankind in the last few centuries while god wanted to suppress everything and wanted blind following and worship. And in revelations, John states that the serpent in the garden was indeed Satan. You try arguments to your position when you have not read the book yourself. Atheists know the bible better than you religious people.
@@Daniel-cz7kd Lmao. Common Christian mythology says that it was Lucifer in the garden (though the bible doesn't say so, Lucifer and the serpent have been linked for CENTURIES) and ahh yes the place of love happiness joy...and ignorance, where knowing things for yourself is demonized and you are threatened if you DARE learn the difference between good and evil. Sounds like the actions of a cult to me!
@@myheartismadeofstars Yeah I heard that as well, ever since, I believed it was an actual long thin bodied reptile with four legs, like a weasel or ferret, later I learned at least what the being was. Interesting, what things were Adam and Eve ignorant about, they knew things; anyway, besides what Turek and Cliffe explain, what good has ever come from learning evil? Are you saying you’d rather have a place of hate, sadness, sorrow...and knowledge of good and evil? And you still haven’t told me what Lucifer has done to help humans yet.
So back in the old testament, when you died you went to like some sort of purgatory right? Is it really that big of a punishment to die when you are already old? I mean it seems like a dick move to be sure on god's part, but isn't this life just the dirty mat you wipe your feet on before you enter heaven? I assume Moses and Aaron still get to go to heaven even though they had bad judgement for a split second and made god angry. I feel like a better lesson here for continuity into the new testament would be to show forgiveness to Moses and Aaron but I guess im not a psychopathic narcissist.
So that's where the (Moses) valve comes from, so he doesn't have to tap the friggin' rock all day long, his buddies were like, yo, I just washed my hair, man I need a good rain about now, could I get a little help here Mo? Just a light one k?
Assuming any of this is accurate to reality... a less "god dun it" explanation of Aaron's death is that Noah and Eleazar straight up murdered Aaron in a secluded, hard-to-reach, location. Then came back and just *said* "god dun it". And not one person in their community was skeptical of this sketchy business? That's as miraculous as someone living into his 900s (ie someone just white-washed the history in the telling).
I forget at this point of the story. Are Aaron's cloths the religious garb? Could his 'death' just be a form of exile? That's why they don't say how he died, they don't know how he died.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 I try. What Hemant is doing is a good thing in reading out the Bible. I read it when I was younger and going to church, so it's been awhile for me.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 true, trying to understand the bible is harder than trying to understand nuclear physics. No wonder theologians has spent the last two thousand years trying to comprehend the religious text. The ambiguity is ripe for charlatans, scammers and the power-hungry.

Strange questions. There are religions in which their godhead is not the ultimate giver-of-orders who must be obeyed, or else. So, no, to ""Is there a king in all religions." Atheism is a lack of belief in any theism. It is certainly not parallel, in any sense, to a religion (as the pairing of questions might imply). Some atheists, materialists, hold that the supernatural does not exist. Others may be, strangely, deists holding that there was a creator who used his very being to become nature. So, no, there is no ultimate authority in atheism. ______ A little bit on Divine Right of Kingship____ The theory is: I am in power by right of conquest. Had the all-powerful God wanted it otherwise I would have lost the war. The clerics were consulted and agreed to crown him King _in God's name_ in exchange for being the official religion of the realm.
@@sauloftarsus3351 They do? Who is the leader of the Hindu religion? Who is the leader of Islam? Who is the leader of the Jewish religion (not Jews the ethnic group or Israel the country). OK, the Pope is the leader of a portion of Christianity, but who leads the rest of the Christians?
I really like your channel and the way you talk about the bible and Christianity. But I am wondering, are you going after the other religions. I mean being Athiest means not believing in any gods, not just the most popular one.
Hemant or friendly atheist Wow, is that a fact? So then what’s the point, reason or use for you to use up your time on “everything wrong in the Bible”? And besides, with the understanding of that statement, how can there be anything wrong in the Bible?
@@canbest7668 And what’s the problem with that? So many accept hundreds of other books to be true, wether they’re true or not. With elected public representatives who influencing policy, do you mean, you live in a country where the elected government grounds the Bible to the people and you have no choice but accept the Bible? What’s the problem with the book being horribly flawed?
Nope. Atheists exist to adopt the unwanted children believers birth, because somehow they have a lot of faith to receive seed but not a lot of love and time for those children (this implies that women should be able to control pregnancy but that's not true)

I have read this book as a christian, which made me quit being one, I am reading it again with Hemant because it this book has huge implications for humanity. As the living word of the most powerful being it should not require any teaching, interpretation or clarification. It should withstand endless scrutiny, but it does not. The book and its message have been used as justification for tyranny, murder and abuse of our fellow man for centuries. It is an important piece of history but not in a good way. Humanity will be much better off if we can rid ourselves of the need for a god created in man's image.
@@willj1598 You’re correct, as Turek, Cliffe and, I think, my friend have explained, humanity will be much better off if we can rid ourselves of a god created in man’s image. Simply people prefer their own god as I’ve figured out from different sources.
As I understand, conversation happens when two or more people talk to each other over some topic(s), issue(s) etc. However, Hemant reads the document or a part of it, he then looks at the camera in the manner of looking to the audience and shares an interpretation of his and returns to the document and continues the cycle, last I checked, that’s a teaching way of sharing something.
The title can be used as grounds for a conversion, but like I said he needs at least one more person to make it an actual conversion.
You said “We will be most surprised if your intro ever says “nobody dies in this one””, as I remember, none of the scrolls shown on the screen have that intro written in them, and besides, I understood you referred to Hemant’s introductory prepositional phrase, if I had that wrong, excuse me, but I don’t know how else to understand your comment.
@@Daniel-cz7kd Thanks, I agree with you that teaching can take many forms. I think whether he is teaching or not is also somewhat dependent on his audience. If some are listening to learn about the bible or his view of it then he certainly is teaching. I took the initial comment to mean he was not teaching correctly, specifically that he was not teaching the bible's point of view correctly. That was my assumption that was not explicitly stated. I also took the original statement to be critical of his, and my own, point of view on the topic. That may or may not be the case. Either way, I appreciate your comment and perspective.
God is the neediest villain in all mythology. Yahweh is such a noob at wanting his way.
@06:53 One might be inclined to think that an omniscient gawwud would have know that this would happen!
My thoughts exactly! It doesn't seem to even understand that if you don't give people enough food and water, they will get cranky and die!
This gawwud isn't omnipresent either since it isn't present in hell or in many people's lives/ minds. And, it had to keep asking people where they were and what they had done.
Really ballsy from the King of Edom to not let them pass after all the shit that befell on Egypt, that's sibling rivalry for you.
What happened when Moses went to Mount Olive?
Popeye beat the crap out of him!!
Maybe the Israelites were hungry because they keep sacrificing their animals.
Has it occurred to you that everything right with the Bible would be a much shorter video series?
Garry Stahl Not necessarily, you’d simply learn to understand the Bible correctly for a change.
@@Daniel-cz7kd It is what you don't know that trips you up. Formrt Baptist Sunday school teaxher that understands that terrible book all too well.
a run down of the good parts would be short indeed. i have come to know I am not broken, and don't need the anti-snake oil.
@@garrystahl8340 Please enlighten me, and I thought you said “everything right with the Bible”
@@Daniel-cz7kd it is a sadly very short list,
The Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes? Maybe some of the Psalms, and the Song of Solomon.
But some of those glaze over Isaiah 45:7 - badly, and minimize troubling issues, a lot.
Whilst Titus 1:14 is kind of nice - if a bit flying in the face of other New Testament claims.
The problem still is, much of the nice verses, and ideas, will still often not be wholly unique to this one, singular, religion.
And Augustine could not even define if we all died 'in' Adam, or because of his actions.
See also the doctrine of 'total depravity' for the interpretation, at it's most extreme.
Rock Water Gate.
Soon we'll read about Moses dying in a book that was supposedly written by Moses. Also, Moses and God were alone on the mountaintop, so who saw it happen and wrote it down?
Ron Wyatt.
When you said: "We'll go back to the basics", I thought "No, not an other chapter, where we count all the members of all the tribes, followed by a page long genealogy"...
Yahweh the drama queen.
Speaking to the rock for it to give forth its water is -- a witchcraft spell
God's Thunderdome... Three men enter... Two men leave...
I guess Aaron died like an Oblivion NPC when you enter the kill command in the console. "GRRBL!" and he flops over.
Aaron was naked and afraid
Hahaaaa took me 3 days but I finally caught up from half way through Leviticus!
Had to binge watch me some boring ass rules repeatedly, animal sacrifice, sexism, slave rules, and god starting to do the same thing to the Israelites as he did to the Egyptians!!!
Wild bro 🤟🏻😆
the craziness of the bible is why I have a short story where Lucifer is the good guy. He freed them from ignorance in the Garden, he freed them from Yahweh's slavery (the "flight from Egypt" is a distorted version of truth) and took them to another land in another universe to be free) that's why God is so inconsistent. He co-opting Lucifer's heroic deeds and combining them with his own horrific actions
Sounds like you could write a holy book based on that
Rosalie Timmerman What bible is that?
How do you know Lucifer was in the garden?
And if he’s the “good guy” why doesn’t he do anything else good or heroic for humans ever since the garden, especially since Adam and Eve were kicked out of a beautiful place of love, happiness and joy.
@@Daniel-cz7kd science was delayed by millennia because of the church. It was only in the last few centuries when scientists left the church that they made their discoveries. Same with inventors, literature, art, technology just to mention a few. Let's assume that this god and Lucifer exists for a moment. Lucifer has done more for mankind in the last few centuries while god wanted to suppress everything and wanted blind following and worship.
And in revelations, John states that the serpent in the garden was indeed Satan. You try arguments to your position when you have not read the book yourself. Atheists know the bible better than you religious people.
@@Daniel-cz7kd Lmao. Common Christian mythology says that it was Lucifer in the garden (though the bible doesn't say so, Lucifer and the serpent have been linked for CENTURIES) and ahh yes the place of love happiness joy...and ignorance, where knowing things for yourself is demonized and you are threatened if you DARE learn the difference between good and evil. Sounds like the actions of a cult to me!
@@myheartismadeofstars Yeah I heard that as well, ever since, I believed it was an actual long thin bodied reptile with four legs, like a weasel or ferret, later I learned at least what the being was.
Interesting, what things were Adam and Eve ignorant about, they knew things; anyway, besides what Turek and Cliffe explain, what good has ever come from learning evil?
Are you saying you’d rather have a place of hate, sadness, sorrow...and knowledge of good and evil?
And you still haven’t told me what Lucifer has done to help humans yet.
Well that was an unexpected ending for Aaron!
Edam. They make good cheese there.
II Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Things are finally getting interesting again.
So back in the old testament, when you died you went to like some sort of purgatory right? Is it really that big of a punishment to die when you are already old? I mean it seems like a dick move to be sure on god's part, but isn't this life just the dirty mat you wipe your feet on before you enter heaven? I assume Moses and Aaron still get to go to heaven even though they had bad judgement for a split second and made god angry. I feel like a better lesson here for continuity into the new testament would be to show forgiveness to Moses and Aaron but I guess im not a psychopathic narcissist.
Is the podcast "Only Murders in the Bible"
Oh yeah, they was slaves and had their fill of food and wine. They owned livestock and somehow had slaves as they left Egypt.
So that's where the (Moses) valve comes from, so he doesn't have to tap the friggin' rock all day long,
his buddies were like, yo, I just washed my hair,
man I need a good rain about now, could I get a little help here Mo? Just a light one k?

Sounds like a good idea, mount hor. 🤣 🖖 👌
Assuming any of this is accurate to reality... a less "god dun it" explanation of Aaron's death is that Noah and Eleazar straight up murdered Aaron in a secluded, hard-to-reach, location. Then came back and just *said* "god dun it". And not one person in their community was skeptical of this sketchy business? That's as miraculous as someone living into his 900s (ie someone just white-washed the history in the telling).
Wait so the bible god never heard of the Royal "We?"
He is too selfish to be God.
That would be a bad idea. Then some people would think god is talking about Jesus and the Holy Ghost with him! See? The trinity!!
No more funny stuff!
Why do I feel like this video will be demonetized for mentioning « mount Hor »?
I forget at this point of the story. Are Aaron's cloths the religious garb? Could his 'death' just be a form of exile? That's why they don't say how he died, they don't know how he died.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 I try. What Hemant is doing is a good thing in reading out the Bible. I read it when I was younger and going to church, so it's been awhile for me.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 true, trying to understand the bible is harder than trying to understand nuclear physics. No wonder theologians has spent the last two thousand years trying to comprehend the religious text. The ambiguity is ripe for charlatans, scammers and the power-hungry.
It is a pity that an omniscient God has all the communication skills of a delinquent five year old that is incapable of giving clear and concise information and then gets mad 😠 when they do not follow his commands.
@@natsusatsujinki8342 Adam and Eve expected to die in one day after eating the fruit (assuming they knew good from bad, and that it was bad yet) - yes, or no?
Were they given whole, truth.
@@chrissonofpear1384 Just like atheists, Adam and Eve didn't know what death was.
@@sauloftarsus3351 My point exactly.
If they didn't know what it was, why was it a deterrent to them? And was it 'bad' either? From their limited perspective.
where did the sun come from of Aaron because God already killed his sons and told him not to mourn otherwise he would be killed too
Ty Cook Have you forgotten?
Anyone else not getting any sound with the video?
Consider critiquing the Samaritan Pentateuch. The Masoretic text Pentateuch is corrupted. The Septuagint is also inferior. Use the Samaritan Pentateuch.
And that will make the story make more sense how?
Hmmm....At least the harry potter books are far more interesting, compelling and believable works of fiction - than all our nonsensical man made religions .
And Dumbledore’s sayings contain much more wisdom than Jesus’s lame teachings.
Is there a king in all religions?
Is there a king in atheism?
Is there sense in this gibberish?
@@robertmiller9735 It is when you think about it.
Strange questions. There are religions in which their godhead is not the ultimate giver-of-orders who must be obeyed, or else. So, no, to ""Is there a king in all religions."
Atheism is a lack of belief in any theism. It is certainly not parallel, in any sense, to a religion (as the pairing of questions might imply). Some atheists, materialists, hold that the supernatural does not exist. Others may be, strangely, deists holding that there was a creator who used his very being to become nature. So, no, there is no ultimate authority in atheism.

The theory is: I am in power by right of conquest. Had the all-powerful God wanted it otherwise I would have lost the war.

@@George4943 But all religions do have a leader, sort of like how all countries have a leader.
@@sauloftarsus3351 They do? Who is the leader of the Hindu religion? Who is the leader of Islam? Who is the leader of the Jewish religion (not Jews the ethnic group or Israel the country). OK, the Pope is the leader of a portion of Christianity, but who leads the rest of the Christians?
True crime? More of a poorly written fantasy crime.
Man, talk about a horror story
I really like your channel and the way you talk about the bible and Christianity. But I am wondering, are you going after the other religions. I mean being Athiest means not believing in any gods, not just the most popular one.
Hemant goes after Christians for a simple reason. It is Christians pushing their beliefs on everyone in the US.
That would be evangelical christians.
You don't understand the content, just ignorent to the msg it gives, I guess you are.
Your friendliness was hard to find in this one.
Hemant or friendly atheist Wow, is that a fact?
So then what’s the point, reason or use for you to use up your time on “everything wrong in the Bible”?
And besides, with the understanding of that statement, how can there be anything wrong in the Bible?
Because so many people accept the book to be true and they elect public representatives that influence policy
And the book is horribly flawed
@@natsusatsujinki8342 And a lot of people think it’s actually the word of God
@@natsusatsujinki8342 yep!
@@canbest7668 And what’s the problem with that? So many accept hundreds of other books to be true, wether they’re true or not.
With elected public representatives who influencing policy, do you mean, you live in a country where the elected government grounds the Bible to the people and you have no choice but accept the Bible?
What’s the problem with the book being horribly flawed?
@@natsusatsujinki8342 Very true, and yet people like Hemant keep explaining and teaching the Bible as if they understand the scriptures.
Can atheists get pregnant?
Faith to receive seed is the requirement for pregnancy.
@ First Century
Of course, atheists can be pregnant. The bible isn't a guide on how reality works.
Nope. Atheists exist to adopt the unwanted children believers birth, because somehow they have a lot of faith to receive seed but not a lot of love and time for those children (this implies that women should be able to control pregnancy but that's not true)
@@Black-1790 I didn't say be pregnant I said get pregnant.
