The Book Club: The Book of Exodus with Dennis Prager | The Book Club 

Yes, if you understand it, you will also see how the NT quoted the OT wrongly

Yes, and Jesus even noted that he was here to bring back Mosaic Law. Much of what he said pertains to Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

Why don’t you understand the Old Testament?

@@SavingCommunitiesDS No

@@ryansharp9222, why not? Matthew 5:17-18: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

What aspect of mythology do you enjoy the most? The fabulous, imaginative stories?

@@theoskeptomai2535 Evolution is one of the biggest fantasy writings in history, but those who choose to think they are in charge would dive for anything that removes the true God from their lives. Believe truth or a lie, your choice. Once you have breathed your last you will go to your forever future with no chance of change.

@Flowever simple, everything about evolution goes against known science.

... pretending about a pretend thing, wow. So hard.

"It's just a fact."

That's the way the Tora is understood for Jews. Mainly in a practical way.

Dennis is a sentient taint

Why won't Dennis Prager debate Sam Seder??

Couldn't agree more

Thank you for rich, deep, valuable conversation. I am 77 and thanks to my parents the Bible has always been important to my decision-making. God is real and we all suffer if we fail to listen to Him as Truth. Imagine this…I attended public school K-12 and every morning we recited the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer, (prayer of a Jewish man.) No one knew of a school shooting and most walked home with no fear of danger.

What was your understanding before and what is it now?

IT IS GOOD TO LEARN MORE and more about the whole Bible

Have you read Israeli archaeologist's Israel Finkelstein's book The Bible Unearthed who collects evidence that the exodus did not happen. The same with the conquest "“Remember those thirty one Canaanite towns listed in the Book of Joshua (plus four other towns on the other side of the Jordan River)? Sixteen towns were destroyed according to the stories in the books of Numbers, Joshua, and Judges. Of these sixteen, two or three maybe four cities show signs of violent destruction at or around the time when Joshua and his army would have been plowing through Canaan(thirteenth century BCE about two hundred years before the time of the King David) The towns on the other side of the Jordan River in Moab, don’t look like they were even occupied at the time. We also read in the Bible that twelve towns were taken over without a fight. But of those twelve, only seven were even occupied at the time, according to archaeological findings. And of those same twelve towns that the Bible says were not destroyed, actually do show signs of destruction. In other words, archaeology and the Biblical story don’t line up well at all” Peter Enns The Bible Tells Me So Digging for Answers, p.59. “

@@noelhausler2911and you could read dozens, maybe hundreds of books that say otherwise, with evidence based approaches… to 3500-4000yr old history… hardly an exact endeavor Where is your heart leading you, to God or away from God? I would sort this out before attempting to lead anyone away from God, for the price of being wrong might be more than you’re willing to wager on a maybe.

The only thing I feel a bit weird about saying people must dress nicely for church is that I feel like it excludes the poor. I would personally be ok with nice shirt paired with jeans. I think that is a good compromise for looking nice without making people who don't have a lot of money feel unwelcome or that they stand out badly at church.

Our church says wear the best you have for Sunday service. Not party wear, but clean and neat, showing respect to God and to your fellow worshippers.

Hi Dean inUK, I fully agree with you. Also, I was raised on a farm and being a Baby Boomer (born 1950), dressing up for church, school (uniform), Boy Scouts, going "to town", etc... was important, it was a matter of respect. On the farm/ranch, we wore denim outfits (jeans) and boots all day - but going out, even crossing paths with the hippies, and the way Americans dressed (or lack there of), we always wore proper clothing. This was reinforced by our elders, the Church, schools, ... and military service. Finally, no one among us would try to impress or secure a date with a respectable girl while dressed like a slob. To this day, I still carry these traditions, so do my children. Peace be with you, Ciao, L (L inUSA).

@@lancelot1953 Hello Lance, I was born in 66 and now have grandsons. I think your point of carrying on these traditions is very important by passing on these values to the next generation. All the best Dean

@@deaninuk2186, you are right - this is how we pass along our identity as a family, our "citizenship", the customs, values, and principle that define our culture and our society over the generations. We also create the memories such as Christmas, Easter, birthdays, Halloween, Mother's/Father's Days, National Holidays, Toot -Fairy... and all these celebrations that create the "magic" of being a "kid" - memories that as you said will be passed down to our children's own progeny. Happy Mother's Day to the moms inUK!, Ciao, L inUSA...

But everyone describes the scriptures differently. Dennis is trustworthy about pretty much everything (but theosophical cultures), but who is telling the truth about the Bible?

@@raphaelrae8186 we press into the LORD to confirm His Truth. Meanwhile, we can enjoy the nuggets.

I was born in a religious family. My biblical education started at 5 yrs old. I still read the Bible today, I still find new things every time 🤷

Any relation Dr Mike Heiser?

@@elmiets Sorry, no relation.

That is an astute observation.

When I first attended a Catholic mass, I was struck by the connections to Jewish Levitical worship I’d read in the Bible in the building space as well as the service. One example, the red candle Catholics burn 24-7 next to the Tabernacle holding the Eucharist is like the ner tamid, the eternal flame, burning next to the sacred scrolls (the written Word of God) in a Jewish synagogue.

. . . or classrooms.

The modern wing of our museum is depressing and negative. The galleries with art over 70 years old hav beauty and hope.

you need to go visit a Mormon Temple! will restore your faith in the ability of God fearing people to make beautiful things. Everything is of the finest craftsmanship and beauty; designed to uplift the soul and glorify God. You WILL feel God there...even in the parking lot.

What is the percent of Jews in USA? Yet who is spreading the liberal perversion agenda from hollywierd and the media ? Let's be honest . Why where the Jews removed from the promised land ? Not for being good . And from here they welcome the antichrist with open arms . You can't embrace and push ungodly satanic agendas and claim victomhood . Not legitimately .

When do they get to the part where they kill all the prophets and get kicked out of the promised land for being worse than the people they where supposed to replace due to those people's horrible acts ?

He is a charlatan, a liar, and a paid shill for the Trump cult.

Lol amen

So you have excuses to dodge every rational question. Noted.

There isn't a scrap of evidence Abraham existed.

rashi, a classic commentary, actually says that the first plague was an attack on their gods bc they worshiped the nile. i think its also him who says the killing of the fistborns was actually a targeted attach on the pharaoh himself bc he was a firstborn

@@princessglitterbutt5984 well, since he didn’t die, he must not have been the firstborn.

@@pettuspie they didnt die all at once so as soon as he realized the firstborns were dying he ran to find moses to tell him to take everyone and leave asap. theres actually a song based on this commentary that all children learn thats basically like pharaoh in pagamas in middle of the night, running around the jewish area asking where he can find moses and everyones laughing at him as they point him in all different directions

@@princessglitterbutt5984 well what does scripture say about it? Exodus 12:29: “29 At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. 31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, "Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said. 32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!" The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, "We shall all be dead."
