Dan Barker Debate - The Horrible Fiction Of The Old Testament - Part 1

It takes imagination to propose a debate can be had with one who thinks travel is best done with one foot in fantasyland. In the XII century significant events take place, as described in the Gospels: the coming of Jesus Christ, his life and crucifixion, although the existing text of the Gospels was edited and most likely dates to the XIV-XV cc. In the mid XII century, in the year 1152, Jesus Christ is born. In secular Byzantine history he is known as Emperor Andronicus and St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called in Russian history he was portrayed as the Great Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky. To be more specific, Andrey Bogolyubsky is a chronicler counterpart of Andronicus-Christ during his stay in Vladimir-Suzdal Rus’ of the XII century, where he spent most of his life. In fact, the Star of Bethlehem blazed in the middle of the XII century. This gives us an absolute astronomical dating of Christ’s Life. [ЦРС], ch.1. ‘Star of Bethlehem’ - is an explosion of a supernova, which at present is incorrectly dated to the middle of the XI century. The present-day Crab Nebula in the Taurus Constellation is the remnant of this explosion. Enigmatic timber scarcity in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages as first recognized by dender-pioneer Ernest Hollstein (1918-1988) "No sites exist anywhere with uninterrupted timber specimen from about 1000 CE backwards to Imperial Antiquity(1st-3rd c.). which is why the dendro-chronologies for Ancient Rome and, thereby the entire first millennium are in disarray. Since the very existence of the chronology periods without wood samples was never doubted by the researchers, nobody started to question our textbook chronology. Instead, out of stratigraphic context, scholars searched for wood samples in wells or moors to fill the irritating gaps. In addition, identical reign sequences were used twice in a row to gamer more years. Therefor, "all dendrochronological datings done on West Roman time wood is wrong by some unknown number of years"(") ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c876lPZ-UZU.html&ab_channel=PlanetAmnesia

I totally agree, apologists overload the audience with so many claims that the audience get overwhelmed and only realize later that it was all talk no substance.

Unlike Satan, who really loves you.

@@MrDOB1000: Perhaps Yahweh and Satan are one and the same. King David said Yahweh told him to count his fighting men, then in another book, David said it was Satan who had inspired him (Kings and Chronicles). Who knows and who cares.

@@josephshepherd60 wrong. You just don’t understand spiritual metaphor. And all spiritual lessons must be taught in metaphors to break your mind out of dualistic thinking

I do love how, in the rebuttal portion, he goes "See, this other part of the book has this name in it." Which only really establishes that that book is referring to A Daniel. I personally knew three at one point in my life. So, I guess they were all the author of the book too.

The book of Daniel is in the Septuagint. Septuagint is written/translated before the birth of Christ. Read Daniel 9:24-27 which is a prophecy.

You have to take a lot of credit for yourself. It is a rarity that former believers see thru the myths of their former religions.

@@antoniochavez508 Fact is some were not believers in the first place so its very easy to stop believing in something you never did. I cant see into the mind of people so what they believe I dont know, but I have heard many people who attend church say they only attend for the social life.

And so what-no you've embraced a literally mindless and unscientific worldview where you have no rational basis for logic or even your own "moral" views, where none of the most fundamental questions of human existence (origins, meaning, morality, ultimate destiny) receive any meaningful answers? Why is that?

@David Burrey I can help with that. Firstly, The Old Testament is framed on the template of the hero’s journey. It’s as viable as Jason and the Argonauts. Just a different genre of story telling. The fact that Genesis was written for their people at that time and matched their life is kind of a "duh" moment. In the original creation story, The Babylonian, Enuma Elish, they talk about building Babylon and zigarats. Archeology shows those are real. So by default, the Enuma Elish is real? Greek myth sails from real places. So real stories? We don't need anyone to show us this. We can see it for ourselves. You just chose to place one in a different category for person reasons. Gods existence has yet to be demonstrated. Even remotely.

You are wonderful

I was a hard core atheist, my journey to Christ started when I was haunted! You can't forget such a terrifying experience. Glory to God.

Jesus said that, simply by asking, we can know Him. Christ is a spirit and those who worship Him do so in spirit and in truth. You were never a Christian you never knew the Lord. Jesus died on a Cross so that we may know Him! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I never used to be Christian.

@@JC57515 Yeah so coming to "god" saves his people from being "haunted"(whatever tf that is),being robbed,being murdered,and experiencing "hell"?! Whatever helps you get through life,right?

@@lorenzolucifuge1653 thanks Lorenzo, being haunted is a visitation by a Spirit something never forgotten, and very rare and horrible. The name of Jesus is my protection, and its protection has certainly saved me, thank God.

Actually, if you begin with the premise that just one act of wickedness: one lie, one theft, one disrespectful word towards God is enough to warrant eternal condemnation, then the Old Testament is awe-inspiring in its love, kindness, and mercy. Yet, is it reasonable that just one sin is enough to eternally condemn someone? The fact of the matter is that heaven is a place of moral perfection. No one will lie to you or steal from you there. That is, if you have lied or stolen, you would simply pollute heaven. If people like you and I were allowed there, how long before 'heaven' looked like South Central LA? We all deserve hell. Therefore, God's judgements in the OT are full of compassion, though they seem very harsh. For example, let's take a Bible skeptic from 100 years ago who complained about Noah's flood. Unless they made things right with God, they are in hell right now - with those same people God judged. What were they like? It is written that their thoughts were only 'violence continually.' Does that sound like a fun way to spend forever? Moreover, God won't destroy those people in a flood; they will live on and on; are you happy now? God will not kill anyone in hell. However, if you wind up in hell, it is violence continually!' That is who they are! Jesus said that if you go to hell, you will be tortured by the 'torturers.' Now, angels are not in hell, so who are these 'torturers'? Thank God, I will never know. Will you? I hope that I have 'scared the hell out of you.' You cannot say that I did not warn you. To libel God publicly rather than to humbly ask questions is a terrible crime! Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him. The blood of Christ makes us fit for heaven. I hope that you will look to Jesus. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh what do you know of heaven or even if it exists?

Pathologically ranting against something that doesn't exist according to the individual, isn't really proving anything

Free will by nature gives you the option to be disobedient. If you want to see how God's mercy and wrath is portrayed read Hosea it only takes about 30 minutes. Also your last state about Gods reunion inside us isn't theologically correct. We're referred to as temples replacing the brick and mortar temples, not his kingdom.

Well - at least what you wrote is pure rubbish. Yahweh is not a male human. He began in infinity from the eternal laws of reality, and for that reason He is all knowing and accomplishes all things. He made Man out of dust - what else is He going to use to create animals? He has only been angry with people because they keep rebelling and doing evil. The curse came on Adam and Eve at the beginning because they disconnected from the spirit of the Lord. It wasn't due to any action from the Lord. Yes, through Jesus the Christ the curse has been removed, IF you repent and receive Him as Savior. The Holy Spirit is then given to reconnect your soul, and at the Second Coming your body is reconnected and becomes eternal again. You have no understanding of spiritual things right now. You need to contact a local church, preferably Baptist.

I think that you think that of yourself and you’re projecting it to everyone. I have to say that I disagree with your statement.

Donny . Please be specific. But let me explain my statement. Adhering to a religious or ideologic faith, is mostly connected to a confession to some principles that are seen as absolute, unchangeable, inerrant, in the case of religions beyond death. And these kind of faiths are based on holy texts and manifests. These things create a segregation which actually means: We are right, the others are wrong. You can observe that everywhere.

@@donny5429 Except for the unavoidable fact that few religions acknowledge the existence of other deities in their doctrine. This means that either 1. only one religion has the truth and only their deity exists , 2 All or some of their contradictory deities exist and for reasons known only to themselves said deities are either in ignorance or denial of, or purposefully hide the existence of other supreme beings, which is not exactly behaviour befitting of a god or goddess, or: 3. None of them exist. Of course that is without going into the various splinter sects which encourage their slaves to believe that others who worship the same god are "doing it wrong" and will be punished for it. If you want to disagree with a statement like the one made above, fine. But it is customary in debate to actually then offer a logical reason and maybe a qualifying argument for your view. Merely telling us that you disagree is frankly a waste of time for all concerned.

The old testament is principally the book of another " religion", and is embraced by Christians only through the lens of the New Testaments.

a random kyle...the Old Testament is Dogma but JEWISH Dogma along with The Talmud !!! The Old Testament was written by jewish scribes for jewish people.

Daniel was a captive of Babylonians, the first ancient kingdom, which was followed by Medo-Persia, then Greeceand later the Roman empire. How will he mention the Romans, a kingdom that existed millenuims after Daniel was dead. Intact, its during Daniel's time as a captive in Babylon that the prophecy for the world political succession was Given to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonian (Mesopotamia).

In the beginning nothing seem to happen , the truth is demonic entity are real , think about them as life form that precede human being , the ufo phenomena the ones that are not a fake , is caused by the intersection of this entity in our reality Depending the historical moment , the populous have different interpretations, the truth is keep only for the elites , yes even the very scientists who create the theories that discredit religion are part of it , in public they can pretend to be atheist, agnostic, other religion , free thinker or even Christian , yes is complete model of dominion , the only reason I found out is is my stupid obsession with finding secrets . The cost of trying to learn the truth is a paradox , for you to have real evidence, you need to learn how he very thing that destroy you , yes to learn the truth at this level is almost certain your soul will be condemn to hell , the very think no human should ever do . Imagine my terror when paranormal phenomena manifest, to live knowing this is the most depressing thing you can know , your life change , you almost breadth fear every day of your life and the real end can be so terrible you would almost anything to avoid it he end . If you think this a joke let me warn you , some people like me turn against them , most never love to say the truth and even less ever hear them , this is your best chance ever to to know the truth. Tell me what do you need to know .

"He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

Ww2 horrors were no fiction. Neither is Hebrew bible account fiction.

Christian Knowledge anticipates the mode what it means to be a Christian and how to live a Christian life. For all of the effort that we put into our preaching, we apparently find, to our disappointment, that our listeners are ignorant of the basics- a situation that reflects badly on the publicans. With challenges to Reformed orthodoxy all around in the forms of Arminianism, deism, and other "fashionable schemes," it is vital for us to be well-armed with historical truth so that we can repel heterodox invasion. It may well be, too, that we hear, and try to lay the groundwork for a new revival among people. Apostle Paul's admonition to the Christian Hebrews aptly suit our case. If we have a want of proficiency in the knowledge of Christian teachings. Like Paul, I'm not speaking of divine or experimental knowledge but of doctrinal knowledge that can be received by the Holy Spirit. Thus, when people have been able to digest "strong meat," my listeners are still babes who requires "milk of of the word that they can grow thereby." In the Doctrine, we move progressively through four propositions. We begin with defining "divinity" as that which concerns the great things of religion and, more specifically, "the doctrine of living to God by Christ." Given this definition, what kind of knowledge is to be sought first? Where does the Christian begin? Let us identify speculative, or intellectual, knowledge and practical knowledge, which abides in a sense of the heart. Seek the former in order to gain the latter. Rather than being exclusive of each other, the two are integrally connected. Speculative knowledge is the essential building block because, without it, the means of grace are in vain. Both require a certain fund of knowledge in the recipient to be effective. Finally, Christians should endeavor to grow in this sort of knowledge; they should "make a business of it." God gave humankind the faculty of understanding for this very end. The things of divinity are, in themselves, "things of superlative excellency" and therefore worthy of being sought. As such, they are of infinite concern to the Christian. Even more, God has left us a guide in the form of his revealed Word and has appointed ministers to teach what is written there. The Application brims with practical advice. Let me begin by telling you not to be content with a nominal amount of knowledge: "your catechism" and "as much of the principle of religion as is necessary to salvation." Instead, seek to excel in knowledge of divinity. As is so often my strategy, the (AV), Authorized Version, also called the King James Version gives you all what is needed to be a spiritual elite saint with a humble pie in your face. People should seek to edify one another and expand one another's knowledge. My own obsession with Scripture reading alone will become a regular theme in sermons on the street in Waikiki, while minister one to one, the knowledge of diverting in exuberant exhortation and Faith by Grace is the all in all. My criticism of christians is that they talk too much of worldly matters, of public affairs and contentions. They would benefit from serious pursuit of Christian knowledge as a way of weaning them from the world. If all would only seek such knowledge, they would find it a "noble," "pleasant," and "useful" way. I conclude with a list of practical directions on how to gain knowledge, including reading and searching the Scriptures, avoiding vain conversation, and seeking spiritual benefits. "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel" (Philippians 1:27).

In my opinion, the New Testament is even worse.

Lol! "...you're very articulate".

the numbers saying 603550 fighting men in Exodus 38 which implies a few million in total is impossible, it was merely hyperbolic, this goes on all the time where numbers in the old testament are deliberately inflated and excessively large, was just a literary device of the time. It surely was just a few thousand runaway slaves in total. As for the flood, there's loads of evidence. Fossils and numerous records of flood myths that have been found in practically all ancient cultures.

The Holy Spirit speaks (1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 2:7); He demonstrates (1 Corinthians 2:4); He intercedes (Romans 8:26); He quickens (Romans 8:11); He gives utterance (Acts 2:4); He creates (Psalm 104:30); He comforts (John 14:26); He sheds abroad the love of God in my heart (Romans 5:5); He renews (Titus 3:5). He is the Spirit of holiness (Romans 1:4), the Spirit of wisdom and understanding (Isaiah 11:2; Ephesians 1:17), the Spirit of truth (John 14:17); The Spirit of knowledge (Isaiah 11:2), the Spirit of grace (Hebrews 10:29), the Spirit of glory (1 Peter 4:14), the Spirit of my God (1 Corinthians 6:11), the Spirit of the living God (II Corinthians 3:3), the good Spirit (Nehemiah 9:20), the Spirit of Christ (1 Peter 1:11), the Spirit of adoption (Romans 8:15), the Spirit of life (Revelation 11:11), and the Spirit of His Son (Galatians 4:6). Such is the Holy Spirit by whom John Stewart is sanctified (II Thessalonians 2:13), "the eternal Spirit" by whom "Christ offered Himself without spot to God" (Hebrews 9:14). Such is the Holy Spirit by whom I am "sealed unto the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4:30), the Spirit who makes me His habitation (Ephesians 2:22), who dwelleth in me (II Timothy 1:14), by whom I am kept looking to and looking for Christ and by whom I am made to "abound in hope" (Romans 15:13).

@@johnstewart4350 As an agnostic, i will be quoting your definition of FAITH. Well done!

@@homeontherange733 There are three basic types of agnostics. The first says, 'I don't know, but I wish I did.' The second says, 'I don't know, and I don't care.' The last says, 'I don't know, you don't know, and nobody can know.' The first type of agnostic is a searcher. If his searching is honest, he will find the answers he is looking for. No hungry heart ever goes unfed. The second option is extremely foolish. This kind of agnostic is too lazy to search for answers. Indeed, he does not even want to be bothered with the questions. To say, I don't know and don't care is to admit that you don't even know if not caring is wise. God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. What would you say? Your basis for rejecting my truth claims about God is your assumption of another truth about God. You are saying that God is such that he cannot be known by man. You are claiming to know something about God. This claim to knowledge is inconsistent with your claim to be an agnostic. In order to have truth about God, it must be given us by God. But in order to make the denial, you have to say something true about God. You have to say that God may be there, and if He is, He is the sort of being who is incapable of communicating truth to man. Either that, or He is unwilling to. In either case, you are claiming to know something about God. Where did you get this knowledge about God? When Jesus Christ judges the world, that truth will be completely evident. The one who will judge is the same one who died and rose again. That death was for sinners and is offered to sinners. Those sinners who reject to be forgiven cannot complain of unfairness when God does not apply it to them.

@@johnstewart4350 I know I don't know. I am open to to know. If there is a Good, that would be great. If there is not, then I'm good with that.

I don't feel bad for myself. Them........ Mmmmm. I don't even know how to face them and go with it...

To me it was amazing not having to worry about going to hell anymore.

The old testament is at least 5000 years old.How could anyone with a brain think it s exactly as writtern.I hate the horrid thing he said about God.It s so disrespectful and just plane mean but, god wanted people love and respect everyone and mistakes would teach you to be a better person.He was forming the life and morals of the human race not play evil games for fun.I am a jew who has read that Bible hundreds of times.Yes god could be mean but in a learning way to teach us.But basically He was a warm and living god who taught us to live with our enemies.He loved us so much we were his chosen people because in his eyes we were the best.He saved our male children in Egypt,freed us from slavery gave us Moses and the 10 commandments.,he gave us the arc of the covenant which produced manna a food that fed the Jews in the dessert for 40 year to isreal.I don t call that a miserable mean person.He was a teacher and a god he is the holy of holies and I love him.He also brought Christians a blessed leader as well as a teacher.How can you say such horrid thing about our holy wounderful God????

I watched the entire debate and I started yo read the bible ( stupidest book ever writen ) Yeeaaapp ! It did take long to draw the conclusion that no way such a stupid character can the architect of such complicated and sophisticated universe. And , because I can't assimilate the two ; therefore: none of them exist for me.
