And why is that? Was one gender more corrupted than the other by the Eden fruit? The offspring, rather?

seriously! somebody please tell me she's joking xD

Also, why is that Word apparently INCOMPLETE on some fairly IMPORTANT bits of backstory? About the Fall, free will, curses, what knowledge Eve did or DIDN'T have, and so on?

From the perspective of an Atheist, I just want to say that it actually just shows how fallible the Bible truly is. If the Bible were the product of some infinitely perfect divine mind, there would be no confusion regarding it message. The fact that the Bible can be interpreted to mean pretty much anything is exactly why there are so many denominations that are supposedly all based on scripture. All of you religious folks think you have the inside scoop on truth when in reality you all can't agree on SO much. As for homosexuality, the Bible never records God saying anything about it, so move on.

@@wakeupthisisntreal8168 God speaks through the prophets. God speaks through righteous men and women. As for the confusion, Peter tells us that there are falsehoods in the scriptures and that those falsehoods serve a purpose. But you try to imagine how you would do things rather than how a far superior being would do things. God, through the prophets, therefore, condemns homosexuality, calling it an abomination. So move on down that wide path that leads to destruction.

​@@TrustinJC "God speaks through righteous men and women." The inherent problem is that anyone can claim that God is speaking through them. Since people who claim to be divinely inspired can never come to complete agreement, it's pretty obvious that there is no such thing as divine inspiration. People simply need to learn how to recognize their own thoughts. If you want to claim that someone is truly divinely inspired, you would need to define an objective standard for determining which interpretations of scripture, and which ideas by men who claim to be divinely inspired, are correct. And you would have to do this *without* relying on what men who have claimed to be divinely inspired said. Otherwise that would be circular reasoning. "God, through the prophets, therefore, condemns homosexuality" You see, whether you realize it or not, you're actually basing this judgement on an interpretation of the Bible. The Bible can also be interpreted as not being against homosexuality (look up the debate on the word arsenokoitai and how most versions of the Bible don't actually mention homosexuality). There's a reason why there's so many versions of the Bible, scholars can simply not agree on the meaning of every word during the translation process. That is the simple fact. Objectively speaking, there's no way to determine who is correct, it really depends on which interpretations align with your personal value system, whether you consciencly realize that or not. You need to stop gaslighting society by saying you have the inside scoop when it comes to absolute truth when the source you are claiming is absolute cannot even lead everyone to the same conclusion. That is why there are so many denominations, so many interpretations, so many rituals. No one can truly and honestly define an objective standard for deciphering truth without making some assumptions. If there are assumptions behind what you are claiming to be true, then that simply means your idea of truth is subjective. It's absurd to me, as an theist, how you can not see past your own subjective concepts of reality masked behind religion.

@@TrustinJC Let me ask you a simple question: what objective standard are you using to determine what is absolute truth?

@@wakeupthisisntreal8168 Scripture defines "the standard". And that is not circular reasoning. Without the gold standard of scripture there would be no method to determine a true prophet from the false ones. The fact that it is so difficult to recognize true prophets from false ones is evidence of scripture being true. Christ warns Peter in the writing known as the Coptic Apocalypse of Peter that a multitude of false teachers would lead multitudes of people astray. He also warned that a man would deceive people with a manifold dogma. Dogma is what we today call doctrine and theology. Well, that is exactly what you have described. You cannot see the truth because you have a preconceived notion of how God should and would do things. You have no understanding of what scripture actually teaches. The fact that you claim there is no way to determine who and what is correct is evidence of this. Why is it so hard to understand that just as any natural human attribute and set of skills is not the same or equal from person to person, neither are spiritual attributes and skills the same or equal. And just as any natural abilities can be honed and finely tunes, so too can spiritual attributes. Just as only a very small percentage of humans will ever reach the skill and abilities needed to compete in the olympics, so too is it with matters pertaining to the spiritual. If you do not put in the work, you will never be able to compete. And you have chosen to not put in the work. That is on you. So just because you lack understanding and spiritual discernment due to laziness and ignorance does not mean those that have put in the work are in the same boat as you.

alyssa mouser God explicitly says in the Bible that He inspired it. He has never explicitly claimed paintings as His own words. Sure he inspires art, but that doesn’t make it a direct transcript of Himself.

Yolandè Solomons and what’s amazing is our stopping of sinning isn’t what saves us!! It’s only by God’s grace that anyone is saved because He sent His son to die for us. The blood of Jesus Christ is enough for anyone to be saved who believes. What’s even more beautiful is that we join Christ in His death and resurrection. Upon believing in Him, our old self dies and we are given a new heart, new human spirit, and the Holy Spirit living in us. A born again person has completely new desires and sin will only make them miserable.

She is clearly assuming that the entire audience has no clue what is actually in the Bible. Sadly, this is the case with many pastors and ministers at many churches.

I'll just assume that she made a mistake and misspoke. Surely she must know the difference between the two Johns. Just change her reference to John the Disciple, and everything else she says is still true.

This was distracting for me too. I wanted to learn this perspective, but her messing up this very knowable and common detail discredited her to me. I kept listening, and she made some good points, but I took it all with a grain of salt.

But anyway, thank you for your comment :)

@@MaryL05 So because some people used this verse about something and were wrong about it in the past, that means using it about this video is Satanic? Is that truly your point? That actually makes sense to you? Given what you believe, what your reason for why this verse exists? If someone used this verse to speak against some cult leader who was pushing for human sacrifice, upon what ground would you be able to argue against it? Given that you've rejected using this verse to speak out against teachings contrary to the Bible since Satan is also familiar with scripture, how do you determine when this verse applies and when it doesn't?

@@chrissonofpear1384 I think "sound" in this context is true or pure. As in "pure scripture" will not "satisfy" the agenda of the majority in society, therefore some people will take the Bible and change its meaning so it doesn't hurt people's feelings.

Genesis 1-27 AND GOD CREATED THEM MAN AND WOMAN AND HE SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. HE SAID TO THEM GROW AND REPRODUCE. that's why he created them to reproduce. I'm tired of people taking the word of God and doing with it as they please. GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN MARRIGE IS FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE LOVES THE SINNER BUT HATES THE SIN!

Jer Smith - Both apostle Paul, John and Jesus said the same thing 2000 years ago. Who knows, perhaps we might have to wait another 2000 years.

@@John17230 They will not endure sound doctrine is what I was referring to specifically. The fulfilment of prophecy concerning Israel is another big one.

John17230, it was prophesied in the Holy Word that when we see all of these things (prophecies) taking place (all of them, at once) know that my (Jesus’) redemption is near; even at the door! Israel becoming a nation again in 1948 after 2000 years is an absolute and definite marker for Christ’s soon return because the Bible tells us that the generation of that time (when Israel becomes a nation again) they will not all pass away before my (Jesus’) return to the earth. Depending on how long a generation is, and according to the Bible, it is anywhere from 70-80 years. It may even be 120 years according to scripture. Be woke. Be ready. Once the gospel has been introduced to every nation, that’s when Christ is expected to return to the earth. We are told to multiply and to populate the earth and we are told to teach/preach the gospel to all nations and then after that His return is soon.

And won't we be surprised by who God chooses because no one no one can do God's work.

@@LindaMFerrell - When you say, "Once the gospel has been introduced to every nation", what do you mean "introduced"? Do you mean when it comes on the TV? There are plenty of prosperity preachers on TV in India. Does this mean they have all heard the gospel?

Why is it demonic?

In Jeremiah and other places in the bible God commands us not to pray for reprobates who are blinded by god. We are only suppose to pray for unsaved people who are still yet to make a choice. "because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee". Think of the reprobate like pharaoh, pharaoh hardened his own heart 4 times THEN god hardened pharaohs heart 2 times.

no, pull the log out of your eyes. most churches are reprobate,like the mega churches making cash in the church is reprobate, turning away any of Gods Children is reprobate. holding hatred in your heart is reprobate. men and woman giving over to their drunkeness and lust is reprobate. she may be confused but she is coming from a place of love, not a stance of judgement and authority.....Your not God.. And Jesus is the Word of God and God in the flesh. not a book though the book be blessed. Most of you are living in cognitive dissonance. ps revelation was added to the Gospels. it contradicts the Gospel. and plays into the pharisees lust of a conquering king. instead of a lover murdered by the state and the church of the day.......Jesus wont spit you out. Jesus wont Kill you. All are saved. especially those believers that call on his name.

paul beck it’s teaching a wrong doctrine.

How did Pastor Anderson and other such people make it that far? Religion in North America in general is a cesspool.

@@SStupendous you hearing people different than you, don’t ya? 😂😂

@@ithinkiknowme6450 Huh? What are you laughing at, can you type a coherent sentence? What I said is true and answers the question. Get personally offended no doubt?

Protestantism.

blasphemy is more claiming to be God, I think. I'm pretty sure this is just straight up heresy

This is not true! You don't know your Bible at all! John was one of the 12 not his cousin . His cousin was put to death before the last supper! John was the only disciple who didn't die!

She meant John the apostle;

@@davidgaines9853 John the Baptist was the child of Elizabeth and Zechariah (Luke 1:67-80). Elizabeth was Mary's cousin. (Luke 1:36). This is the same John the Baptist who baptized Jesus. (Matthew 3)

@RTHA300 Dude, you should become a Christian. You won't regret it.

Could you explain to me why the way she is dressed is being disobedient?

@@LadyLeda2I assume he meant because she is dressed as a member of the clergy and yet her teaching is so far off Biblical.

tell me where in the Bible it says that you can not be in love with the same gender? Tell me on what authority do you speak with so much righteousness? Who are YOU to judge!?

Tim Webster -- that speaks of Mormonism, Catholicism, Pentecostal silliness - for examples... more than the Reach you’re attempting. If this is about Biblical comphrension accuracy? That’s why she did this Ted Talk: People cherry pick verses; follow some and Scream about others.

Does the Gospel not also command us to love our neighbor? To leave judgement to the Lord? When we condemn queer people, we violate God's principal commandment to love others and to spread the Gospel, a message written by a God who is love.

@@jayelark I am not condemning. I am just sharing why it is wrong. Most people don't realize why it's wrong..

@@jayelark please reread my initial comment. I am not the condemning type. Knowing that the soul reason for the creation of this earth is for the Gospel Message of Christ. God does not want a bunch of robots in Heaven. He loves us enough to give us choice. Creation echoes the Gospel. The Bridegroom, Christ plants the Gospel Seed within the heart of the Bride, His church, we are born again into Eternity. Humans, animals, insects, plants, etc. involve the male planting a seed within the female, that is physical life on earth. God teaches us the spiritual with the physical as mentioned in Romans 1.

Scrapspectre you are the one one judging that he or she is judging. He/she stated that it is not what they are doing. Who are you to say otherwise? Hypocrisy

Is that not exactly what homophobes do too?

@@calebjfreed Yes, they certainly do. They use Leviticus to condemn Sodom and Gomorrah when Abraham and Jacob and others are not even considered.

She’s not looking at the Bible at all... Heresy.

Alex Libby imagine not seeing the hypocrisy in this... couldn’t be me😂

Why isn't it?

Fakhir Pathaan Khan Literally everything she says contradicts the Bible

even if he somehow said that it was probly taken out of context ot its contradictory becuse we see profits and kings i the bibal who were men of god getting married to multiple wives even sooo 😂

Except for he did.

Actually, I'm sure it's possible to interpret the Bible as being opposed to marriage. What I see from an atheist perspective is you just disagreeing with someone else's interpretation. There's no objective way to determine what is true when it comes to interpretation.

@@wakeupthisisntreal8168 there is no way ... search up bible verses about marriage and I bet you can't find a single one opposed to it. There is a correct way and a wrong way.
