You have no understanding of the Bible whatsoever and no matter what any Asian Muslim says about the Bible or God it does not even come close to your hate filled false religion of beheading Muslims and the satanic koran
Jehovah/Yahweh is more like a mob boss (Mafia) or a war-hungry president than a father. I have a bad feeling that child abuse will be a theme throughout the Bible (Not just Genesis).
@Steven bent1 Jehovah: I am so benevolent and merciful, I can forgive all sins and transgressions as long as you accept the sacrifice of my son. Also Jehovah: Blasphemy against me and the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin, so blasphemers can go bye bye in the Lake of Fire.
I'm sure that some people would say that all these inconsistencies don't matter. But when you call the bible the word of God, say everything in it is true, and use those words to condemn people to death for having extra-marital sex, then yes, it does matter.
@@purplekitten6637 true. From my viewpoint the bible is quite credible and accurate, but its a too of a long topic to write in the comments... so yeah... not sure how to proceed the discussion...
@@dimicdragan5922 so technically, the interpretation of the Bible is also subjective. You know it's funny how we Christians think. We start with this premise of what we have been cultured to see God as, then whatever inconsistencies we encounter we find justifications for that. I'm very sure you would think differently if your earthly father did half of what he has done so far. You know why, because you have been cultured to wallow in the ever sinful nature of man, and would run to the explanation that man is inherently sinful. I bet you will not defend him as much, and will probably cringe if I try to justify child labor or even cannibalism for ritual purposes practiced earlier in so parts of the world. Just like you, to me I don't think there's a difference between perpetually subjecting a lineage to slavery just because there founding father saw his father naked, and discriminating against African Americans whom in some parts of Africa were traded by their own people for a freaking mirror. So please try to just be objective in the face of right and wrong, rid yourself of biblical bias.
Hold the phone; Ishmael was 14 years old when Isaac was born. I didn't know they reused this story to get rid of Ishmael and Hagar TWICE. Good thing Islam traces its lineage back to Ishmael, so God kept "his" promise, I guess, but SERIOUSLY. Who does that to their mistress and child? TWICE?!
Fairy tales do make more sense than the bible does. The bible is ridiculous. And why any woman would want to be a Christian is beyond me. God does not like women.Yes I'm a woman I'm also in an atheist. Wanna know why?Because I read the bible the whole thing. It's a nightmare. There is no love in this book.
Interesting about the story of Abraham is that it has a parallel in Greek mythology: the story of King Athamas of Boeotia and his son Phrixus. In that myth, Athamas was married to Nephele, but left her for Ino. Ino resented her stepchildren, Phrixus and Helle, and wanted to dispose of them. She caused a famine, and the solution was for Athamas to sacrifice his son Phrixus, but the goddess Hera intervened and sent a golden ram to carry off Phrixus as well as Helle. Here, Athamas resembles Abraham, Phrixus resembles Isaac, Ino resembles Sarah, and to a lesser extent, Nephele may resemble Hagar and Helle may resemble Ishmael (even though Helle is a female and Ishmael is a male). Another story that comes to my mind that is somewhat similar is the German fairytale of Hansel and Gretel, two children who are abandoned by their father at the insistence of their nasty stepmother and "sacrificed", if you will, to an old witch who tries to eat them, but they survive and kill the witch, kind of similar to how Phrixus and Isaac both survived being sacrificed.
When I got _really_ bored one day and decided to give the Bible a try (coming from non-religious parents while living in a house we got from my grandparents who had recently moved), I never made it past Genesis 3 after the "one of us" line confused me. Years later, I learned about henotheism and monolatrism and came to realize how all these religions came to be, ultimately starting with our hyper active agency detection mechanism due to evolution. Even if it is just going to be Genesis, this series is great!
The episode between Ishmael and Isaac has changed with different Bible versions. In the Wycliff Bible(which pre-dates the King James), it states that Ishmael was merely playing with Isaac. And that it changed to Ishmael mocking Isaac is quite significant. Ishmael is considered the Ancestor to all Arabs. And eventually many of those Arabs that became Muslim. So the writing in Genesis is altered to say that Ishmael mocked Isaac. Presenting Ishmael as the "bad guy". This is pointed to by many as the beginning of hostilities between Arabs and Jews.
The KJV version, is the official and authorized Bible. The other versions, are not contextually agreeable with the KJV. The KJV records, Ishmael was mocking at Issac. Ishmael believed, that by being the first born son of Abraham, he deserved Abraham's first blessing. But, the promise of a son, was given to Sarah and not Hagar.
@@joykeebler2890 it depend on what authority declares that a given version is the "official account". Those that preferred the Wycliff were persecuted. Some hunted down. That conflict of interest in itself gives one ponderings as to which is the "correct version". If there really is one that is.

Loving this series. Only people who have never read the Bible could still believe it. As per the 900-year-old men, Wikipedia explains the myth of longevity that preceded this crazy quilt of folklore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity_myths
I have a vewy good friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus... He has a wife you know. Her name is Incontinentia, Incontinentia Buttocks! Take him away! Cwucify him immediately!
God’s punishment to Eve was to make child bearing a lot more difficult and painful for woman and then God starts dishing out babies to woman left right and centre as a gift and miracle? God also keeps telling his people to be fruitful and multiply? God really enjoys dishing out the pain and suffering to woman.
Never made any sense to me either. Wonder if it was just a spot for something like fungal infection and it got turned into a biblical thing. Like alot of bible crap
Mark Haunert yeah it’s actually been proven that circumcision doesn’t really have any health benefits and in fact does more harm than good as far as... feeling stuff LOL i was just curious if the Bible says WHY, but apparently it doesn’t 😅
From wiki: According to the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 15, the Jewish Christian leaders of the early Church at the Council of Jerusalem rejected circumcision as a requirement for Gentile converts, possibly the first act of differentiation of Early Christianity from its Jewish roots(see also list of events in early Christianity). The rite of circumcision was especially execrable in Classical civilization because it was the custom to spend an hour a day or so exercising nude in the gymnasium and in Roman baths, therefore Jewish men did not want to be seen in public deprived of their foreskins. Hellenistic and Roman culture both found circumcision to be cruel and repulsive.
I have an idea for a reality TV show. Put a bunch of cameras on some super-religous families who completely deny reality, cuz gawd. Make two copies of each episode: one with serious music for christian TV channels, and one with wacky hijinks music for UA-cam. Very profitable!
This is the best series. I made a point of reading the Bible in full (I did!) a few years ago but it’s so full of crap that I probably didn’t take enough time to reflect on all of it. I love the way your breaking it all down for us demons.
Your series is inspiring me to join a church just to teach Bible class. I’d play your videos at each weeks class until they nail me to a cross over their pulpit. LOL That’s the punishment Christians would dole out by telling the truth.
Waiting until it's too late to help is one of Jehovah's frequent patterns. The thing is, all people like my mother care about is the help that comes, not the fact that the problem is solved right after it's too late.
Has anyone thought of doing this in a Deadpool costume, and maybe some props? I kinda wanna do that. I have the DP mask, and could raid my niece's Barbie collection... 🤔
I think you're harsh on Hagar, the text is weird with time passing and chronlogy but it seems to imply that both her and Ismael were stranded in the desert with neither food nor water, Ishmael was probably in a catatonic state if he couldn't move by himself and Hagar with the realisation they were both probably gonna die, couldn't stand to see her son die so she hides his soon to be corpse from her sight and expects she will soon suffer the same fate. Thanks Abe.
Thankfully, in the Quran, Ishmael and Hagar were saved, in the form of a wellspring known as Zamzam, which is still part of the Holy Site of Mecca to this very day.
God gave them descendants; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; (genesis 26:4 KJV)
I'm still mulling this over. Okay. God knew that he was eventually going to knock up, or cause to be knocked up, that lovely 90-year-old ingenue, Sarah. So what was the point of conceiving Ishmael and putting Hagar through all that? Did I miss something?
Avi lipkin said the bible is a very puritan written book, but according the Hebrew text, Ismael tried sexually abusing little Isaac. This was reason enough for Sarah to demand Abraham disinherent the Egyptian woman and his son.
I don't buy it, Abraham and his people were like the Kardishians of their time, there must have been some stories left from the Egyptians telling us about the antics of these lunatics doing weird stuff on Abimalek's turf. Abraham was like the Kanye West of his time.
Let's do a first grade maths here.. Abraham was 86 when he got Ishmael and 100 when Isaac was born. So, Ismael was 14 years older than his half brother Isaac..😅 Then Isaac weaned at the age of 2 making Ishmael 16 when he mocked his baby brother. Abraham sent his 16 yrs old son and his younger wife Hagar away and she had to find water for him to drink??? Such a lazy young man..😠 At his age I cooked for my mom when she was sick, ran some errands while attending high school as a senior and already smoking cigarettes and got my girlfriend pregnant again...😨👈😆😅😄😃🐴🙊
Hey could you use the King James Version? I just stumbled across this video so I don't know how far you are into the bible videos, (I don't know if you're skipping around), but if it's not too late then use the King James Version of the bible and I'll subscribe too!
I always saw the bible as a collection of amusing story's. But now you make me aware of how badly written they are. A modern publisher would never consider to publish them, not without some heavy editing.
Well, these stories are not all equally bad/good. Some of them are written well, some are good concepts that just lack something important and some are indeed very poor. Plus there are a lot of ok narratives pushed into a wrong context with wrong characters and thus having no sence.
We often hear of a gang of thieves plotting to rob and murder a man, and laying a plan to entice him out that they may execute their design, and we always feel shocked at the wickedness of such wretches; but what must we think of a book that describes the Almighty acting in the same manner, and laying plans in heaven to entrap and ruin mankind? Our ideas of His justice and goodness forbid us to believe such stories, and therefore we say that a lying spirit has been in the mouth of the writers of the books of the Bible. -Thomas Paine
Glad to see you here as well. I also see you on the pro dharma channels talking about the evils of Xitnaity. Hopefully one day India can ban these cults once and for all.
That would have made sense if, earlier in the book of Genesis, it explains why man shall no longer live beyond a 100 years. Aknowledging a 100 years is a pretty long lifespan.
There are far too many for one video to contain and there are plenty of websites with lists already. Though he could do a video of the top 20 or something like that.
I received an A in creative writing in college and people fail to read this "book" an complain how horrid it is? Mine was not great but DAMN at least it made sense, it flowed nicely and did I mention it made sense? THE WORD OF god.... fails.

We often hear of a gang of thieves plotting to rob and murder a man, and laying a plan to entice him out that they may execute their design, and we always feel shocked at the wickedness of such wretches; but what must we think of a book that describes the Almighty acting in the same manner, and laying plans in heaven to entrap and ruin mankind? Our ideas of His justice and goodness forbid us to believe such stories, and therefore we say that a lying spirit has been in the mouth of the writers of the books of the Bible.

As I understand it, years were counted differently back then, 100 years meant something different.
That would have made sense if, earlier in the book of Genesis, it explains why man shall no longer live beyond a 100 years. Aknowledging a 100 years is a pretty long lifespan.
May God forgive you and enlighten you mister

sheba means seven (so beersheba means the well of seven) in reference to the seven lambs, not the oath
