Actually the verse in Numbers in most translations does not refer to miscarriage. Only the New International Version does. You will not find a single translation that references it because most scholars agree that it actually refers to barrenness and has therefor nothing to do with an induced miscarriage but rather infertility.

So Cenk taking a verse completely out of context, and using bad hermeneutics and the incorrect translation to show that the Bible supports abortion, is why you think that very interesting. And again it doesn’t matter if they haven’t read the Bible, what’s better somebody who has never read something or somebody who has read something yet can’t comprehend it and takes it out of context, i’ll let you be the judge of that. And the funny thing is most Internet atheists that complain about Christians being dogmatic or biased are just as biased and dogmatic as them if not significantly more.
Look up Leviticus 27:6. God begins to value human life at one month of age. No value for the unborn. The Bible clearly says God commands that we are to care for the poor, the old, the immigrant, legal and illegal. The Bible absolutely does not say anything about banning abortion.

For those interested: The "bitter water" is made from the leaves of the Rue plant. This bitter tea or bitter water has chemical properties that provoke or induce a miscarriage/abortion.
No, that’s coming from the NIV version, which has been critique to death by scholars it’s not an accurate translation of this verse, because it uses the Hebrew term, for womb and the Hebrew term for a miscarriage, which can be found nowhere in the original Hebrew for Numbers 5.

It's right in your own bible and yet you won't believe your own bible? I have known this for many years. It's true. The claim that life begins at conception is a OPINION given by the Catholic church. Not the bible.
Absolutely! Myself, I was obsessed with the bible at a young age. Actually I was wanting to become a priest. I read the bible cover to cover twice. The more I read it the more I realised I can’t believe in all this anymore. Unfortunately, christians in general, do not read the bible. They just listen to a crazy preacher running back and forth on the stage, flapping his arms around, yelling and speaking gobbledygook language.

Some versions translate “womb will miscarry” as “she will drop/lose her limb”, but that is because fetuses are considered an appendage of a woman and not a human being.
God supposedly killed everyone in sodom and gomora, and also nearly everyone on the planet with the great flood. Does this mean God condones murder? Well he also said thou shall not kill, so according to the Bible we aren’t supposed to kill each other.

Those who claim the passage depicts abortion insert concepts not even hinted at in the text. Part of this confusion stems from the 2011 edition of the NIV, which refers to miscarriage. Pregnancy is not part of the requirement for the ritual. Nor is pregnancy mentioned anywhere in the process. The effects include some type of swelling and/or shriveling. Yet the targeted body part is vague. In fact, it’s the same Hebrew term used to describe the spot where Jacob suffered his infamous injury (Genesis 32:25), as well as the place where Ehud hid his sword (Judges 3:16). At worst, the Numbers 5 passage implies future infertility. The ritual was not a remedy for an unwanted pregnancy-it was a test for adultery. Traditional interpretations of the ritual even restricted it from being performed on pregnant women
I have been quoting numbers to a lot of people for many years. I even quoted it to my father, who happened to be a minister. He scowled at me yes, but he could not deny it. By the way, Adam and Eve who pro-choice as well. They were given the option eternal life or knowledge. They did not choose life.
They were made to choose life, it was predetermined. If God did not want them to eat the apple why did it exist in the center of the garden in the first place? Additionally, why was Satan in the garden? If you get a room put a bowl of candy in the middle of it and put a bunch of children in there and tell em not to eat it what are they going to do? Eat the darn candie. It's that simple. He wanted them to eat the apple it wouldn't have been there otherwise. IMHO, I think he wanted to create perfectly loyal beings and when he found out they weren't loyal he abandoned us to ourselves. Or did he.
I can deny it. That passage does not in any way certify abortion. It is a supernatural judgement ONLY to be used in a trial of adultery. And it would be GOD doing the miscarriage…because regular floor dust doesn’t cause abortion on its own…and ONLY if the women who drinks the dust-water committed adultery. The dust doesn’t know if she cheated on her husband or not.
@@swagraptor5477 The very next verse says she will conceive children implying she was never pregnant to begin with, most translations don’t use the term miscarriage, they say cause her thigh to rot or to shrivel, and the Hebrew term (fécheme) which is the term used for womb in the Masoretic text, and also the NIV is not a direct translation, and also the word Hebrew word for miscarriage is not present here either.
0:05 Only if you have an NIV, which is why it is the ONLY version Cenk ever quotes it from. BTW the NIV was only written in 1973, so every translation before it from the last 2000 years didn't say that a miscariage took place, so no you're dead wrong Cenk.

Some propose that Numbers 5:11-31 refers to God causing an abortion. The 2011 edition of the NIV mistakenly states that the drink will cause miscarriage in Numbers 5:21-22, 27. However, this is not what the passage is talking about. Pregnancy is nowhere mentioned, or even hinted at, in the text. The only thing that even sounds like pregnancy is the guilty wife’s stomach becoming bloated, but even in that instance, it has nothing to do with pregnancy. Further, the passage does not say that drinking the concoction would cause an abortion/miscarriage. While drinking a poisonous mixture of ingredients could very well cause a miscarriage, that is not what this text is speaking of.
Oh that's nice if you'd only have this same energy and learned about embryology and fetal development you'd figure out a fetus is not a baby! The main difference is that yours is an interpretation vs mine based on facts! 🤡

No, Sir! You have inappropriately misinterpreted the context of this passage. You see, you have a presupposition that Moses is writing about "abortion". This is called "Eisegesis" Which means - to insert ones own ideas rather than the intended meaning. Moses is not talking about the topic of abortion here. Cenk is reading from the NIV and also he is skipping verses which is improper hermeneutics. Although improper lets continue. He asserts that "the priest is causing a misscarriage" but fails to recognize the orginal meaning of the word "miscarry" in verse 21. The word "Womb" in vs 21 is the Hebrew word ירכ (yerekh) which means thigh, loin, side, or base and the word "miscarry" in Hebrew is נפלת(nofelet) which means to fall away.. The ESV and LSB translation renders it better ("your thigh fall away and your body swells"). The usage of the word "miscarry" is probably to aid the 21 century reader to understand that a prevention or a hault if you will (in reference to only a woman) will take place because of her sin. So... it is an inappropriate interpretation when Cenk says "The priest caused her to have a misscarriage" when the passage asserts no such thing. The NIV is a reliable translation but misses the mark here with the word usage. The entire context is about the disciplinary actions when there is lying after commiting infidelity in the marriage which both are in direct disobedience against the LORD. Also, there is no where in the text that implies that conception had taken place after the adultery had taken place. These are warning passages to infidelity in a marriage and the LORD is most certainly not affirming the killing of children in the womb in order to present "abortion" as truth. Cenk is not a Christian according to the Scriptures and he needs to repent according to the Scriptures. He says so himself. I encourage anyone to the read the passage in context and allow the orginal writer to speak. You wouldn't want someone misinterpreting your book(Especially someone who radically disagrees with you from the start) with their biases in mind would you? I pray this would help and if anything sticks I pray it is this "the pursuit of the authors intended meaning should be paramount". God bless.
Many Christians mistranslate and attach meaning to the bible's writing that may or may not be the writer's message all the time. Usually literal because it's the most obvious for even the most simple minded. It doesn't matter to me if Cenk is misinterpreting it for that reason. I also trust the Christian religion the least of all religions along with it's clergy & followers for many reasons that are justified. Many Christians read only what is directed in church at the time rather than reading it themselves in their spare time so if a pastor wants to, they can avoid the text that seemingly contradicts one of the religion's beliefs.

Cenk Uygur is Wrong to state that God is pro-abortion. God is never in favor of abortion. Your statement that "God gives us free will to choose what we do" does not mean that God is pro-choice, & that God is, therefore, okay with pro-choice people who choose to do abortions. Abortion, which is the deliberate killing of innocent & defenseless unborn children, is an evil act that God certainly does not accept as morally right.

Personally, 1) I'm a male from Central Texas who is pro-choice, but I feel that it's ultimately a women's right/decision to take birth control & that Roe V. Wade should remain in effect as it currently is. 2) When it comes to the 1st & 2nd trimester, I don't agree with the argument that the baby is truly alive even with a heartbeat since it also lacks a brain, its lungs, & an immune system, which are needed to keep it alive (& something like this happened to a family member whom I won't mention by name). 3) I was born & raised Christian (specifically Baptist), & in The Bible there is a story in the Book of Numbers where a man believes his wife committed adultery, so he asked God for help & he was told by God to give his wife an elixir that would've aborted the child if it wasn't his, so this story proves that The Bible isn't against abortions. 4) I believe that once a baby is born it should have affordable medical care/coverage for its entire life since I'm pro-life in that regard & not just pro-birth of the baby. 5) I don't believe male politicians should be able to create laws regulating what women can or can't do with their own bodies when that sets a precedent for female politicians to create laws regulating what men can do to theirs.
You sound like Californian. I am in this country for 18 years and still can’t process the fact why the abortion is government affair. I know money is the center of all discussions at the end of the day but there are other many issues that money is spent on. Why abortion is such passionate deal to republicans especially? I have only one answer so far- control. They want to control women. Mechanism of control never succeeds, females will fight.
You actually believe that the “elixir” on its own…made of nothing but dust and water…is able to not just cause an abortion…but ALSO differentiate in the woman’s behavior so that it ONLY causes the miscarriage of the woman committed adultery? No no no. That’s not how things work. This is a supernatural event. The only way this would work if it was by God’s hand. Only God would know that the woman had done the deed…and God himself would have to cause the abortion to happen. The whole process existed as a sign to the people. Everyone would know that dust water would NOT cause a miscarriage by default. And so if the process was followed as ordered and the miscarriage happened…then it would be divine proof that the woman committed adultery. This is a supernatural trial. It is not a green light for abortion.
This mistranslations from the 70s. The others recognize this as making her barren. Read a normal translation & you'll see in verse 28 it's before the seed has been conceived. I thought we should make laws about killing people.

Your Christianese is cute and folksy, and I'm sure you're a nice person, but you're wrong. "Out of context" is probably THE most common excuse Christian apologists make when they got bupkis.

The context is that “GAWD will impart his mighty wrath because your husband OWNS you!” Whatever you think about this, it’s not a modern “moral guide”, it’s an ancient one, when women were like cattle. I get that lots of Christians have trouble being told what your own Holy Book actually says/means by non-believers (or former ones), but you DO realize that this “pro-life” stuff has a fairly well-known origin, politically speaking in America, right?

Exodus 10:20: "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go." Exodus 10:27: "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go." Each time in the verses before Pharaoh told Moses they could go, then came above verses. The LORD is EXPLICITLY mentioned each time. When I see the whole story as that what it is meant and seen by most denominations in most countries, a parable to stress that the Israelites are God's chosen people and to vilify the Israelites' enemies, all is no problem. But when I take the story how hardcore US fundamentalists take it, as LITERALLY correct, then I have to regard the words as they are. Have a look into the Bible, maybe you find other interesting sections that are not quite as the preachers want to make them appear, drop them conveniently while pounding on the literal truth of others.

Exodus 21:22-23 “And when they strive together men and they injure woman pregnant so that they go out children of her but not he is mortal injury to fine he shall be fined. As he shall place on him husband of the woman and he shall give on judgements. But if harm he is then you shall give life in place of life” (The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament; Literal reading) This passage is about a violent argument between men, where there is a pregnant woman present near them. During this struggle, the woman is somehow “injured” (nâgaph, which can also include fatal injuries), which caused the “children (masculine plural, boys), to “come out” (yâtsâ’) of the woman. It is clear from the Hebrew, that the “mortal injury” is of the children, and not the woman, as we have the masculine, singular, “’âsôn” used, as the ESV rightly reads, “he is”. “’âsôn” is used in the Old Testament for serious, and even fatal injuries. The Hebrew “wə·yā·ṣə·’ū yə·lā·ḏe·hā”, literally, “children come out”, is translated as “to miscarry”, or, “born prematurely”, or “fruit depart”, or “come out”, etc, in our English Versions. The masculine plural, shows that there is more than one boy in the womans womb. In verse 23, “’âsôn” is used to show that either, one, or both of the boys died from the result of the injuries sustained by the woman, during this violent argument between the two men. It is clear, “then you shall give life in place of life”, which is a requirement of death, and not injury. It is clear from verse 23, that if the child, or children, died, which can only mean, “to miscarry”, and not as some English translations read, “she gives birth prematurely”, as in the NASB, as this does not mean that the child or children, did not live. “she has a miscarriage”, is used in these Versions: NAB; NASB 1977; Douay-Rheims Bible; NRSV; Lasma Syriac Bible; The Contemporary Torah, JPS, 2006, etc Abortion in the Bible is MURDER
You think these evangelicals actually care about the bible? Besides, they would just use the argument that this is in the Old Testament and is superseded by the New Testament.
Old vs New... Same God...omniscient, omnipresent omnipotent... No linear time for God, so that argument (which the "new bible Christians" love to use)... Fails the test.

Also the NIV that he is reading out of has been rewritten over the years. The one I have on my shelf from 1978 in Numbers 5:21, 22 & 24 it doesn’t even use the word miscarriage. It says the abdomen swells and the thigh waste away. So as the others say she is not pregnant. Then he even read verse 28 at the end “she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. Other current versions uses similar words as my 1978 NIV.
You do realize that this ritual will not work, don't you. A combination of holy water and dust from the temple floor will NOT produce a potion which will figure out if the woman has been unfaithful and punish her if she does. The purpose of the ritual is to set the jealous husband's mind at ease, or may be scare the woman into confessing. But magic potion, NO! The operative words are that the priest will tell her.
False: After she reacts they say "shall enter" twice & the male will show all the same signs. Their face pales, eyes do something, body becomes full of veins.
Cenk, members of the NFIB Church will still deny it all because you didn't read it from the King James Version. But as a recovering Catholic, I say you still nailed every verse!
That is where me and a lot of other people have a problem when they start reading crap and I say what what are you reading out of and they say the King James version and I tell him shut up don't even talk to me stop reading from that because it is SOMEBODY'S VERSION OF WHAT THE BIBLE IS SAYING it is NOT WHAT THE TRUE BIBLE SAID!!!

If Christians could agree on what the Bible actually states, They would all be Gnostic. Yet they can't even agree on how many books are even in the Bible, 66, 73, or 81! Let alone how to interpret them.
But yet in the Gospels, upon hearing the sound of Mary's voice, the baby in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy. In Chapter 1 of Jeremiah, God tells Abraham, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Furthermore, there's a big difference between a miscarriage, which is a tragedy, and an abortion, which is an intentional act of murder.

Exodus 21:22 “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.” Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Cor. 6:19-20) So not my body 🤔
It’s a curse, not an abortion. If she was unfaithful and lied and says she never did, than he puts a curse on her, she shouldn’t have any children do to her lies. It doesn’t say yes to abortion no where in the Bible 🙏

I see still misrepresenting (Numbers 5), first of all I just love how you’re like read your Bible, yeah why don’t you actually read the very next verse which says she will conceive children implying that she wasn’t pregnant, and again this is an absolutely terrible example even if the term being used what is in fact miscarriage which it’s not, because you’re quoting from the NIV I can tell because of the wording, the NIV is not a direct translation, and also most translations don’t use the term miscarriage, they say cause her thigh to rot or cause, or caused her to be infertile, and I’ve even seen some translations that Psyco has her fighter shrivel, as well. the Hebrew term for womb, (recheim) isn’t in (Numbers 5), at all anywhere in the Mazzarella text, which is the manuscript at the old testament in the book of numbers is based on, this only took me about 12 minutes to figure out, Plus reading the verse, in context unlike you, really professional journalist 100% facts guy Cenk Uygur, couldn’t bother to do12 minutes of research, I mean you made that first video like seven years ago for crying out loud, that’s amazing.

So using the context of the passage you just read abortion is only good when the woman steps out on her husband and he wants to abort it. So the woman has no choice in the matter. What if she wants to keep her baby. A bunch of men make that decision for her? Are you sure this is a pro-choice argument to be making here dude?

This is talking about a Woman cheating on her husband, this isn’t about a woman going out of her way to abort a child due to sexual impurity. You’re in a covenant with your husband, and should be loyal and faithful throughout that marriage. Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder.” Leviticus 24:17 “Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death” Psalm 139:13-16 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them” Romans 1:28-32 “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.” Abortion and Miscarriage are two different things.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything
James 2:11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. Exodus 23:7 Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.

Probably because the actual translation has nothing to do with a miscarriage. Only that the woman loses the ability to have children. There is nothing in that section of verses that say she is pregnant.

Oh it’s far from fiction, it’s all history hidden in code. All ancient biblical texts from the Bible, Quran, Torah, Etc… All correlate with one another in their stories, just with different reasons/explanations.

Also a counter to "abortion is murder": The bible says if you strike a pregnant woman and she dies you are to be executed as a murderer, but if she survives and miscarries you only have to pay financial compensation to the father...
You should read that passage in Exodus again because it says that if the woman gives birth prematurely and no harm is done then he pays at the judge determines BUT if any harm (to the child) follows then he shall give life for life, acknowledging that the child in the womb is a life and ending that life is murder. If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23“But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,

@@reezoe164 you must be a right winger because y'all seem to NOT understand the word hypocrisy these day. Let me school you.. When someone tells you something that they don't practice themselves, that's call hypocrisy and it destroys your credibility. So if you're trying to prove to me the existence of someone and they're teachings and as you're trying to do this their teachings start to NOT match up with their actions then the hypocrisy in their actions starts to discredit that they exist at all or that everything else from here on out that they say is true. Why would a God who seeks to be ones spiritual and moral mentor who's trying to save you immortal soul abandon his teachings and start committing the same sins he's supposedly trying to keep you from committing in order to get to heaven? A true God would understand that this moral break in his character would cause disbelief of his existence from those humans who logically think for themselves because at this point you'd have to be brainwashed to dismiss all his sins and continue to follow his teachings that he doesn't follow himself just because he claims to be God. An all powerful God who supportedly created the entire universe and existence of man should NEVER under any circumstances have to commit the hideous acts that this supposed God of love, forgiveness, and compassion did in this Bible. Him and his followers broke a large amount of his 10 commandment throughout the Bible. He broke the very first one on many occasions which was thou shalt NOT kill. He personally committed more sins in the Bible than the devil he tries to discry all thoughout the Bible did. Go reread your Bible and find out the truth and that's this God was not full of supposed light and truth like this Bible claims he was. You can't be committing mass murder one minute and the next minute be claiming that killing people is a sin and then the next minute be justifying the stoning of others for shit like foraging on the sabbath day like he did with Mosses right after he gave him the 10 commandments, with the first rule being thou shalt NOT kill.

No it states the priest will cause a miscarriage, that is STILL an abortion. There are 2 ways to abort currently by taking a pill to miscarry (the concoction the priest gives the pregnant married woman), or surgically but ALL of it is still an abortion.
A miscarriage and an abortion is two different things. A miscarriage is unintentional by the human. And abortion are actions taken by said human to abort the other human being. Let's put some church dust and some holy water in a bottle and see how it works against modern women.

@jj ya Even if God was, it's not all willy nilly w/ no regard for actions like these modern females are using it. Rape from a stranger?

And I gotta feeling that if men could carry , or did carry the baby, females would tell us don't kill it. Give it away or something else besides killing it. Guaranteed. Females want the government to make men be fathers but they do not want the government to make them be mothers.

But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life,
@@samspamoli196 & you're still wrong. Notice the other translations don't say that. Also in the next verse it says if she's innocent she can then conceive seed, implying she wasn't pregnant. Nearly all the translations recognize this as being made barren.
