I want to say that your videos are very well done. They're fun to watch and quite accurate. There are usually very few mistakes, but for the sake of bringing everyone closer to the truth, I'd like to point something out. Technically, Samson was appointed by God to deliver the Israelites and judge the Philistines. All I mean by this is that all the people Samson killed were killed justly acording to the mosaic law, so it's not murder. Regardless, Samson still broke his promises to God repeatedly, broke the moral law repeatedly, and was just generally very foolish. I haven't read judges in a little while, so I'm not sure, but I think that's the only mistake in this video, which is incredibly impressive. My prayers go out to you all.

The amount of times i mentally facepalmed myself because of the cycle of the same sin that the Israelites kept repeating throughout the book of Moses, then in the book of judges. Then i realised this is probably what I do in my day to day life. My father God's love, mercy and patience is underserved. Praise God.

@jamesmichael9341 6 месяцев назад

Dont worry, you can sin as much as youd like in christianity. You can sin your entire life as long as you repent and believe in Christ. Notice how you continue to sin? And? Christianity is a religion that allows sin without consequence as long as you repent/believe. So keep doing what you please and repent later in life.

@jim-bobii 6 месяцев назад

@jamesmichael9341 James 2:14-26 and Hebrews 10:19-39 directly address and counter this strawman of what faith is. In Christ, believers are met with the grace and sufficiency of Jesus to help them in their time of need (Hebrews 4:16, Ephesians 2:1-10). But for someone to intentionally abuse this as a pass to go on intentionally sinning without a care in the world, their faith is not real. If someone really loved the Lord, they would not have a complacent, careless, and manipulative view towards sin (1 John 3:1-10). Believers are still imperfect on this side of eternity and continue to sin. There is a real struggle, but we take on an attitude of perseverance and dependence on God, and he himself makes up the gap as we walk with him. Also, while believers are cleansed from the eternal consequence of their sin, there are still natural consequences that lead to hurt and destruction in this life. These consequences can be mitigated and brought to redemption by walking with the Lord faithfully, not by treating his mercy as something to be taken for granted and contempted.

@user-j1spswelskisj 6 месяцев назад

@@jamesmichael9341 imagine you have only 1 year to live. Now count how many hours you have and if you can live each sec of that hour without sinning.. then you don't need Jesus. Jesus says "go and sin no more" and that we should strive to be blameless. But 'God is love' hence when we slip up, because we do, His grace is there (if we truly repent). Why? because God knows we humans NEED it.

@jamesmichael9341 6 месяцев назад

@@user-j1spswelskisj Okay so you just agreed with me. Christians believe that they are allowed to sin alllll they want as long as they repent their sins. Its a religion of belief to get into heaven, not a religion of being a good human to get into heaven. Ill prove it. A human, 25 year old female. She spent her entire life being a great human. Loving, caring, fed the homeless, spent her time with her family, lets say she volunteered once a week just to help others, never lied, never hurt anyone, just a beautiful woman of pure love. But she lived somewhere where they didnt believe in the Christian god. Now lets compare another person real quick. This person graped children, murdered families, stole, lied, attacked people, women and children, never was honest, just a purely evil, disgusting human. Did the worst actions that your mind could imagine. Well, a few months before he died he believed in the Christian god. He repented and believed in jesus. Prayed to god, and said he was Christian. Now, first woman. You believe that, that woman will and should be tortured for eternity. Thrown in hell to burn and scream in pain for an infinite amount of time. She deserves hell for eternity. The second guy, you believe he is good. You believe he shall go to heaven. If you cannot tell, this is a religion of belief, not a religion of morals and being good. It is why Christianity is plummeting. Humans are catching onto this and are smarter than dumb Ancient men 2,000 years ago. It is why Christianity is NOT respected anymore and its become a laughing stock that even STRIPPERS are out here saying theyre Christians and jesus died for their sins so they can strip and do what they please (which is true lmao).

I finished the book today. In particular I was so horrified when Japthath sacrificed his daughter. it was absolutely horrific and as the video mentioned demonstrated how far they were from the character of God. I thought to myself ‘thank goodness these atrocities don’t happen today’ but then I had the thought that in a way isn’t abortion a form of baby sacrifice (often done for the mothers kind of benefit). (P.s I know this is a very emotive subject and in this comment I do not intend to condemn those who may have had abortion but more our societal view of it and how it is a sign our hearts are so far from god.) I don’t think we are too far away from that society unfortunately and we definitely have our own idols that we worship. Thank you for a brilliant overview of Judges.

@None-if3mo 2 месяца назад

Jephthah didn't sacrifice his daughter in a way you meant. When you read the bible you need to read it very carefully, notice that the whole verses were emphasizing on his daughter virginity, if you actually read from genesis to judges, you will notice that God forbid israelites to sacrifice human being in a way that you burn them just like how you burn lamb, etc. But notice that there are passages where God told israelites to sacrifice their firstborn, people(not killing them). Those "sacrifices" are different, because those sacrifice actually mean you let your child/family to serve God for his his/their entire life. Hence why you didn't see God stopping Jephthah.

@None-if3mo 2 месяца назад

Anyway his daughter didn't marry for her entire life, that's why in other verses you see that israelites mourn for her virginity not her life, because Jephthah vows make her some kind of holy maiden/nun.

This video illustrates the dark atmosphere of the book of Judges. But it seems that many judges are underrated particularly Samson. He is the one who was killed in action with his mission. His mission is not to accomplish the deliverance but to begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines (Judges 13:5). And Look Hebrew 11:32, what the Bible says about Samson! He's in faith who is man of God. In my interpretation he is not the worst and he didn't end his life with mass murder. He died in battle!! finished his mission!! Guys, let's think about this.

@reborninchrist8074 Год назад

@pamhernandez6565 2 года назад

Some of this requires a deeper understanding of scripture and culture. When Jephthan promises to sacrifice the first person to receive him when he arrives from war he doesn’t mean a human sacrifice like the one depicted in the drawing but rather a sacrifice of what their plans for their life were and give way to live a life fully committed to God. This means no marriage (partner) and no children: how? Again, a deeper understanding and studying of scripture is needed. You find this definition in other parts/stories of the Bible, like Samuel. The person happens to be his daughter, so he tells her what he had promised God and she accepts her fate and cries her virginity with her damsels. Very different from the depiction of her getting slaughtered and burned on an alter.

Although Jeptha's story is very tragic, you realize it is worse because he vows to sacrifice the first human he encounters on his way back from battle, which so happens to be his daughter. Although we learn the lesson of keeping our promises it is a warning to us to be careful when we promise.

@kaylajordan8458 7 месяцев назад

This analysis is hard for me to completely see eye to eye with. Can Samson's last stand really be seen as mass murder if God gave him his strength back for the purpose of revenge? Furthermore the initial order from God for the Israelites to slaughter the Canaanites is itself hard to swallow.

The biblical theme of making votes and promises increase my suffering because I struggle with OCD, intrusive thoughts, the enemy attacks me with blasphemous thoughts. I feel a huge grieve, struggle and weight in my shoulders to be accepted and loved by God. I saw testimonies of people having unwanted intrusive thoughts about making promises in their minds and they are afraid of never visiting the hospital because of the intrusive unwanted vote, (These are examples) they are afraid of never eating lobster, working in wallmart, playing baseball. I am scared of promises votes information in Deuteronomy, Ecclesiastes, Mathew 5, James and the story of Jefte in Judges 11.

This summery is almost the exact opposite of what the actual book says. He didn't vow to sacrifice his daughter, he cried and tried to get out of the sacrifice when he found out it was his daughter he was to sacrifice. and Samson's final murders were the result of a final blessing of the lord

No atheists uses this book to illustrate that God is a failure and ignorant which is wrong.

@gkeller1031 6 лет назад

I'm an atheist, and I don't think this book illustrates God as a failure. In fact, I don't really think God is much to blame for anything that happened in the book of Judges. The way I see it, the events in Judges and the people who wrote them down years later are the ones at fault. This illustrates the need for laws, but not necessarily the need for God. Corruption is the result of self-serving ambition, leading to oppression, violence, and ultimately anarchy. Having a solid government with laws is important, but that doesn't need to involve God. They should be two separate entities. There's nothing wrong with believing, but to generalize atheists in this way is to perpetuate a false stereotype.

@MsWaitrose 6 лет назад

Having a solid government with laws is important? (I mean, it is but not in this context). The worlds today has an array of governments from 'developed' to 'developing' and they still haven't been able to curb human nature and the truth is, they never will. You were right that corruption is a result of self-serving ambition, but its not about laws, its internally addressing the condition of human soul, no government can ever do that. In order to do that, that would mean renewing a persons mind, tending to the conditions of the human soul. There is no such government or human law that can do that.

@gkeller1031 6 лет назад

MsWaitrose thank you for your response. I do see that you have a fair point, but I also believe that laws, to an extent, keep human nature in check by teaching systems of reward and punishment. There are systems like that all over the world and they are often connected to government. Obviously government cannot control every innate desire of every human, and they shouldn’t. But states of anarchy lead to corruption and disaster to an extreme degree much more quickly and easily than most government systems do. I know that wasn’t necessarily your point; mine was just to respond to an attack on something I feel very strongly about by showing that my perspective of the book does not align with the original commenter’s and the initial responder’s ideas of what my perspective would be, and I stand by it.

@Boris99999 6 лет назад

Well, to be fair God (if abrahamic god even exists) is said to be omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent so if he knows the consequences of his own actions (creating humans with flaws and susceptible to evil) and doesn't want the world to go to shit - he should have known where it would lead the history to and do something to prevent that. He still did what he did meaning he either is not omnibenevolent, or not omniscient or not omnipotent. So choose wich god do you belive in: 1) allpowerful allknowing evil god - he just likes to see us struggle. 2) allpowerful good god that tries his best but faills and periodically whipes humanity from the face of the earth. 3) allknowing good god that is not capable of doing anything - could he even be called god?

In God's mind, behaviour shows what's really in our hearts - we can't pretend that we can somehow disconnect behaviour from heart desire and motive. Judges is like an epic replay of Gen. 6-8 where God destroyed the entirety of creation in His holy anger because "The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Right at the end of Moses life, before Joshua led the conquest and then Judges took place, Moses recounts in Deuteronomy how the LORD had given Israel His Law, but they had broken it, and then explains that the solution to this problem is that what God's people really need is a new heart, one that only God can give. This anticipates the coming of the Messiah, the One who would come and conquer all of sin and death and make all things new, the One who would give His people new hearts, ones that are bent on loving and trusting Him rather than on evil and rebellion. The bottom line is that sin is a heart problem, not merely a behaviour problem, and only Jesus in His sovereign grace can deal with that!

“Samson has no regard for God” Umm... are you kidding me? The text literally says many times that the Spirit of God was upon him, how exactly would Samson be able to perform these amazing works if he was not in communion with the Holy Spirit? “His life ends in mass murder” Come on guys, for real? The very fact that he received back his supernatural strength and was able to break down the pillars means that the Spirit of the Lord was once again upon him. He didn’t “murder” anybody, he suffered horribly under the philistines as a martyr and even sacrificed his own life to defeat the enemies of Israel. God was the one who working through him. Also, if Samson is supposedly a villain (as you erroneously paint him to be) why is he listed among the Saints of the Old Testament in Hebrews 11:32? Samson was a servant of God, and the destruction of the philistines was accomplished BY GOD through him. The end of Samson’s life is a beautiful story of God’s redemption, not “a violent rush mass murder”. You guys really dropped the ball on this one.

@sonofcronos7831 3 года назад

God uses anyone he wants. Sansom was a terrible person who massacrated a lot of people for selfish reasons. He was a polygamous man and very angry, and God still uses him because HE WANTS. Is not the same as the communion with Holy Spirit in the Christianity, because here the communion is permament, and the people have to follow Christ. In the Old Testament, God puts his Spirit in anyone he can use. Saul was not in communion with God and God still put His Spirit in him (1 Samuel 19:23-24), Saul them start to speak things, and this give time so David can escape. Samsom have to free Israel of Philistines, so God empower Sansom to destroy them, but in either way Sansom was not doing that to help Israel, but to help himself, but since it was a opportunity, God empower him. The only diference is the final act, where Samsom probably repent of all the things and them ask for God power one more time, and that is it. And the philistines was not destroyed by Sansom, they continue to opress Israel until David appear to defeat them.

@sonofcronos7831 3 года назад

And Samsom was not the villain, but he was not a hero. Jephtah also appear in the list of saints and he sacrificed his own daugher, a thing God himself hates, the list is to show how faith guide all this man, this dont mean that everything they do is to be accepted. The judges are not the villains, but are not hero, the only hero in the entire book is God himself and the first tree judges, all other judges have saved Israel, but they himself was terrible man.

@isaiah2810 3 года назад

@@sonofcronos7831 They weren’t terrible men, you’re missing the point. The entire point of shining a spotlight on the flaws in their moral character of the judges is to show just how corrupted the people of Israel’s thinking had become-as men like Samson, Jephtah, and Gideon serve as microcosmic reflections of the society in which they had been brought up. The point is to show that (as a consequence of not driving out the Canaanites), Israelite society had become a morally depraved society just like the Canaanites. It’s not that these men were any more evil that any other human beings. In fact, they clearly revered and loved God and were accounted righteous in his sight because of their faith (Hab. 2:4), but their thinking had become deeply corrupted because they grew up in a backslidden society in which the behaviors of the Canaanites had been normalized. The very same thing occurs today. Behaviors that just a few generations ago were shamed are now glorified and consequentially even among the people of God-the younger generations accept certain sinful behaviors as normal because they grew up in a society that says it’s normal and it’s all they have ever known.

Apparently your God also condones mass genocide, like a flood wiping out the entire planet, Sodom and Gomorrah, and city after city to be destroyed-- all men, women and children in the book of Joshua and Judges, it was under Yaweh's command too. Yes, very gracious, he offered little to know revelation and guidelines for much of the rest of the world, like the million ppl living in China and other parts of the world at that time and punishes them for their ignorance for worshipping a God they've yet to know. You worship a God that knowingly creatures mankind to be sinful, tempts us with the same apple then punishes us for eternity of suffering in hell for it. This isn't a merciful act this is like a fucking sadistic, cruel joke IF its actually to be taken seriously. The God of the bible certainly has good intentions and in many ways sets a stronger moral path than anything that the Greek, Assyrian, etc. gods were at the time but the problem is... it's so contradictory and myopic as well, the God that created the entire cosmos and universe is obsessed with a small tribe of ppl in the middle east for some reason, and resorts to really ambiguous and odd symbolism, prophetizing, and such to reveal a coming of himself... in human form, so that he can sacrifice himself to himself, to safe us from sin that he created... like **pause** wtf. Just stop and add it up, if a creator of the universe that has complete power chose to do it... THIS is the best possible way he set it up for us to be saved several thousand years later?

Disappointed in the portrayal of Jephthah. He certainly did not vow to offer his daughter as a burnt offering and thus was like the Canaanites. He offered the Lord the first thing to greet him out of his house, which when he realized was his daughter, he was very emotional about, yet did as he vowed. To compare his to the Canaanites and their willful sacrifice of their children is extremely misleading, just to fit into your model of going from bad to worse. And don't forget that he is mentioned in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. A good video with a very glaring flaw.

@christianldove 7 лет назад

The traditional Jewish interpretation affirms that he did indeed sacrifice his daughter as a burnt offering (to which she faithfully consented). That is why the Jews have a 4-day feast in her remembrance annually. While people have argued for alternative interpretations, the evidence remains strongly in favor of the sacrifice. The point is that had Jephthah (and the people largely) not been ignorant of God's nature and holiness in contrast to the pagan gods, he never would have made such an oath. God punished Jephthah by taking his only child, but her response to this vow demonstrates that this nameless young woman is actually a Christ-type of the Old Testament: someone who willingly, faithfully, and lovingly submits to death for the salvation of her people. Her death is redeemed.

@alexmathew977 6 лет назад

I finished reading Judges today, it is a short book. However, it is very hard to digest the violence and gore. If I'm not mistaken there isn't any blessing from God as Israel had forgotten about their God and hence the negative outcomes. When I read about Jephtha tears welled up in my eyes due to his illegitimate origin and him opening up to Yahwah at mispah. once he did that the next thing he did was write a letters to ammonite king (as in modern diplomacy) although the starting statement of Jeptha says that he was a mighty warrior. In fact My heart felt for the faithfulness of Jephtha towards God although he was born as an illegitimate son. Remember this words judges 11:35 I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break. The way Jephtha was portrayed in this video isn't how I felt or learned about him.

@gdejeu 5 лет назад

let's not forget that what he did, he did thinking it is by the will of the Lord, and he indeed kept his vow, but by even making that vow he shows not to understand the Lord, but that he confuses Him and replaces all the gods of the Canaanites with one other god, not our true God, Who never would have asked for, or consented to such a sacrifice, let's not forget about Isaac... a very good video, without a glaring flaw, but a good portrail of a important figure with a glaring flaw

It was Jephthah's foolish words (extremely foolish because really, what else would come out from the door of his house? definitely not a fat bull) and his own doings. This can only exist when the judge clearly isn't knowledgeable in mosaic laws and scriptures and can't tell them apart from foreign idol worship cultures.

Jephthah didn't burnt his daughter! The promise he gives include a translation mistake. The hewbrew word that stands at this point should be translated as an "or" instead of an "and" as on many other pages of the bible. "If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, OR I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering." So the end of this chapter makes much more sense, when she goes to the mountains to cry about her virginity. The sacrifice here means that she has to serve god like the firstborn. So your whole interpretation from okay to worse shoud be reconsidered.

@Verrain 6 лет назад

Also the interpration of samson as an godless mass murder seams not to be right, because he got the power for this last act from god, because he had lost his power with his hair and shouldn't be able to to do this by his self, only his prayer to god gives him his power again for this last act.

JUDGES Saturday 22nd August 2020 Father: How far can you walk in My blessings before complacency sets in? If I were to give you the desires of your heart, will that steal you focus away from Me, or are your foundations in Me strong enough to hold onto the blessings without allowing your heart to become complacent? For the compromised heart, it does not take long because their foundations are shaky and this causes one’s eyes to wander. Consider the Israelites in the time of the judges. I blessed them with their promised land and it did not take long for them to fall and begin serving foreign gods. And even after they fell, repented and had judges to deliver them, they fell again and again repeating the same cycle over and over. This is the definition of insanity. But before you are quick to judge, consider yourself first. How many times have you repeated the same cycles knowing they had answers to? How many times have I shown you the way out and you turned away serving your own version of foreign gods? Then how are you any different to the Israelites? One of the main reasons why I relent My hand from releasing the blessings of Heaven’s flood gates upon you is because I know it will not help you spiritually and I know your heart will become complacent. That is why the testings of life are often a good thing to experience, and that a constant push of warfare, challenges or even a thorn in the side will keep you humble and seeking. The problem you should be concerned about is if life becomes too easy for you especially if you know you have compromises. But even in all this, I yearn to give you abundant blessings and I always am in all situations in your life. Blessed you are to see this and appreciate even the trials you face. When you learn to appreciate them and remain faithful to Me in your lowest state in life, then I will pour out My blessings upon you."
