I heard Santos say he was the snake in Eden. Also, he slew Goliath. And then, because he never shuts up, started talking about how he led elephants over the mountains with Alexander.
The Bible: always literally the straightforward word of God....until it needs to be a "just a metaphor" to rescue a believer that's talked themselves into a corner.
95% (give or take) of Abrahamic scripture is metaphor, allegory or some such. Some events are provable and have been proven. Doubtful they happened exactly the way the bible describes, no more than the diCaprio version of Titanic was a accurate retelling of what really happened. There has been a mass killing of babies commited by the king of Israel as mentioned in the Bible, it is even known in what year. The Bible states, it happened when Jesus was 3 years old, which means, if you cross-reference when it actually happened, Jesus was born in 6BC. The fall of the Tower of Babel was hugely metaphorised. It was not a tower but the Empire of Babylon. It was so mighty, particularely in the fields of academia, Babylonian was the defacto lingua franca for the entire middle-east and mediterranian (just as English is the lingua franca for large parts of the world and nearly all international communications) because every merchant, every dignitary and every ruler sent their offspring there to study (just as the sons of East-Asian and African dictators get sent to Oxford and Yale to study statemanship and thus are fluent in English). But it was complacant in its wealth and power and had a weak military. When it was ransacked by barbarian hordes, the mighty universities got destroyed and nobody went there anymore to study, the Babylonian language faded into oblivion, the many kingdoms no longer had a common diplomatic language. The Great Flood was pretty localised, only the Mediterranian Basin, really. It used to be a lush valley with grasslands and forests, until the barrier to the Atlantic broke where now the Straight of Gibralta is. Even in the scripture, Noah was never instructed to put all animals in the world on his boat, he was to only put HIS animals, the animals that lived on his lands, on his boat. And often times, when there is somebody in the Bible claiming that God spoke to them, it often was their gutt instinct or subcosciousness talking (or the booze or the drugs or their dissociative schitzophrenia disorder...but yes, often it was simply their gutt instinct...). The story of Adam and Eve and the Apple is several unrelated allegories rolled into one. The most recognisable is a comming of age story. Before the apple, Adam's only duty was to name all the animals. This was not to mean, he got to choose the names of the animals, he had to learn them, he had to learn how to recognise them, he had to learn their behavior patterns and tracks, He was a brat who had to learn to be a hunter. But he was still a child, and life was paradise. Didn't have to work for food, had all of eternity to play around and enjoy the sun and learn the names of all the animals. And when his "little snake" reared its head and a girl offered a taste of her "fruit bearing tree" to him, and then his father and the adults of the tribe realised that they were both carnally active, childhood was over. He now no longer was a boy, he was now a man and had to work for his food. And just as childhood is a country where nobody dies, as an adult it was impressed onto him in no uncertain terms that he was mortal (many primitive tribes have comming of age rituals that inflict near-death experiences onto young men). Meanwhile Eve, no longer a girl but now a woman, had to come to terms with the biological and social reality of what it means to be a woman: pregnancy, excrutiating pain in childbirth, obedience to the bloke who is providing her with food and shelter. They were cast out of the paradise of childhood and into the harsh wastelands of adulthood. Jahwe, Jehova or whatever...the god of Abraham... is only the god of the tribes of Abraham, David and Israel. His 10 commandments only apply to the descendents of the people who followed Moses through the desert. He is a desert god, not a creator god, certainly not the only god in existence. He is not the god of the thrachians, of the summerians, the vendics, ainu, the sioux, the teutons, the etruscans, the iberians, or anybody else..only the god of the descendents of Abraham, David, the god of the descendents of the families who followed Israel into Egypt and the descendents of the families that followed Moses out of Egypt. Nowhere in the Bible does scripture talk of false gods...until the Israelites no longer lived in the desert and now needed a god who knew how to bless fertile lands and thusly turned to Baal, the god of fertility and agriculture in the lands they lived in, an act of betrayal against the covennant by the Israelites for which the desert god (or his priests who saw their authority dwindling) pronounced the gods of the lands the Israelites conquered "false".
@@ptk8451I am thinking you may want to revisit the definition of metaphor. The sun rising and setting is a basic observation from our vantage point on the earth.
When a god DEMANDS love and respect, tries and tests their faith daily for eons, taunts people with back and forth ideas if they will go to heaven and hell and tells people to kill others in his name, that's NOT a God...that's a Demon.
And you would be right to a degree. But wrong in another way. But God and his word is not what you and yours actually want, so the truth is not in you. People as you will keep serving the world and its ruler because that is what you people choose. Lastly, we are like dust, and we did not deserve God to send his Only begotten son to and for us, the holiest man who ever lived and the second most powerful man/being in the universe. It will be up to whomever to decide to value that gift and ransom and most undeserved kindness ever displayed towards humans. True Christians (not just anyone calling themselves Christian or God-fearing) exist, even though they sin, and have the hope of an ever lasting life on a paradise Earth once this is all over. It's coming and everyone knows it when they look around the world and everything happening. "The Great Tribulation" is coming soon enough, then God and Jesus will do away with this System of things and this life you all choose to ignore regarding God will be forgotten. Gods people will move on to eternal life on a paradise Earth, all else will be forgotten. That is one reason I choose to promote Gods good news of his kingdom. The Bible declares creation, accuracy and fact unlike no other book ever written. It's coming.
Even as a kid I always thought there was somthing strange about religion. Back when religion was created I had a feeling that it was a book made up to controll the masses the way that things were at the time. But the world has changed and things aren't like that anymore for the most part. So it's just an outdated behavior guide that need to be gotten rid of in my opinion. Plus all the stuff ritten in it is just so fantasized it can't be real. The god in the bible sounds like a tyrant more than a savior. But that's just my thoughts.
@@markuse3472 Keep on talking, while humans cure disease and solve issues you god can't seem to figure out. The world has been supposed to end for such a long time, but no prophecy gets the privilege of being wrong multiple times, yet still be believed. Creation didn't happen, if you believe it you are willfully ignorant. You wish people were "saved", but your kind are the ones that need to be freed from your indoctrination. Take your mythical tales elsewhere. They belong in a book, not as a basis for your reality.

Actually this a better verse in the Bible about Love and actually to me there’s no philosophy, religion, or ideology that describes love and how it should be universally like the Bible it’s the following: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Look guys the Bible May have it’s error but there still things in it that are really good you just can’t have one extremist view cause then you become whta you all rightfully complain that the fundamentalist do. Yes sometimes extremism is necessary but then we got have some modernate talking points.
@Edward Armstrong And what is it your talking about that I believe in? The Bible’s description and definition of Love? Hell yeah I care that it’s true cause that’s what I have for all of humanity. That’s how my Mother describe God love, and is because of this belief is why I could never fully accept the entire belief of the Bible, and especially view it the way the fundamentalist view it and take all of the Bible literally (accept for parts that doesn’t fit their narrative) An all mighty all powerful knowing and loving God who is the objective ruler of all realities and creation of all things does not commend any of what is suppose to be is greatest and most appreciated creation to suffer for eternity. He doesn’t find contempt on people for who they love, and defends them at all cost from every threat and instills into the threaten forces that would be stupid enough to try and dare harm them and whatever power those forces use to destroy he will reverse and make them regret for eternity for even thinking that they can harm or destroy his most beloved creation, even when his creation lose faith in him, hurt him,betray, and abandon him. And whatever that’s actually really harmful to us that we just can’t see or just don’t understand he will always protect us knowing eventually he will get us where he wants us to be in this life and the after life. But I can’t believe in a God who’s is suppose to be the definition of love pure love and at the same time is a spiritual tyrant, demands obedience like slaves, punishes for sometimes what I see with no disrespect but the most trivial things sometimes. But I sometimes tell myself the Bible is man made and their characterization of God is all wrong and just that little believe alone that little concept of love I see as God that I hope is true, and not this biblical version of him with these archaic rules and regulations of morality for a time period that were no longer apart of and fear mongering of holding peoples eternal fate over them if they disobey and in sense controlling peoples lives, and what certain things they should desire or not even if what they desire is not hurting or harming anyone. That’s what I blaspheme against (which is a lot of what I see in the Bible I personally think alot of it is man made stuff use to control people and not really being the representation of an all loving benevolent God cause an all benevolent God wouldn’t do about half of things I read in the Bible).I will never blaspheme or be against A God of pure love the way how Corinthians describe love, and if that’s truly God the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit then no worries of blaspheme and apologies if I’ve done appear that way I only blaspheme against hate, ignorance, divisive teachings, judgemental people, and things use to control peoples morality which honestly I think is not really from God but more from the church that I blaspheme against but never against a truly good loving God. In Corinthians describing love It didn’t talk about you just believe in me, or it doesn’t apply to you if your gay, or what you like may be abnormal or weird (just of course as long it doesn’t hurt or harm you or anyone else), just like it say “ it does not insist on its own way”. This doesn’t only apply to us as God’s created beings but it applies to God as well. And even if I’m heading to doom and destruction I have nothing to worry about because an all powerful loving God will instill himself in me to protect me and those that plotted my destruction will feel the wrath and power of this God through me and because he truly is God of pure love and his wrath, hate, and anger is only against things that want to hurt, harm, instill fear, inflict pain, discomfort and those kind of things. Being gay or even if your someone who’s promiscuous and like to sexually express themselves for pursuit of pleasure does none of those things, or if your someone who doesn’t believe ( I mean if May hurt God but what I’m saying if he’s all powerful loving and knowing he’s not going to die or be hurt from it in that aspect that what I mean. Just maybe emotionally hurt, but alot of that is not to cause we hate the nature of a loving God, but alot of people just either don’t see that because of some of the stuff they read in the Bible, the suffering that goes in the world, and to my atheist they just don’t see enough evidence for them. Some Atheist would love to know that there’s a loving God they could count on but there just not convince that’s all to it. Is those reason really worth eternal hell fire? And again I’m not saying it’s God it’s probably mostly the Church or so called representatives of God which I have a problem with. Corinthians 13:4-8 was my belief that all that’s needed to define my believe and hope that is true. All the other stuff in the bible is like ok then nice to know but love is what defines my belief and again like I said is probably why apart of me still holds on to this God at times cause that’s a God worth worship, praise, cause my Mother always told me he wanted a personal relationship and he will never abandon and failed me cause love never fails. But if the Church version or more so evangelical fundamentalist church version of God is true which I pray is not then I was already doom from the start. We all are. I know I’ve done wrong and I’m always regretful and sorry for it but if the God I hope that I believe is true which is pretty much the description of Corinthians and that alone then at the same time I have nothing to worry about. He will even save me from my own self and self destruction, empower me to destroy those forces who will try to unintentionally harms, hurt, or any sadistic intentions, inflicting pain, fear, or discomfort and pretty much things I’ve never intentionally or never done to people to deserve such treatment either in this life or the afterlife, and any form of unjust punishment will be met with the eternal regret and unending suffering of that entity because this God of love will never fail me and abandon me cause love never fails, and torment that entity until it’s cruel nature is reform into a loving being and it will be shown mercy. He will heal, deliver, and rid of whatever is wrong with me or bad cause by someone else or even by me that I’m just not seeing though instead of condemning me. The God of Love is eternal paradise is not a narrow gate but for all, and there are no codemn. Hell even evil itself is transform into good and love reigns over all and freedom and salvation for all creatures you can think of and imagine. But I been told God is different particularly from conservative evangelical right leaning Christian’s and other organized religion, and even my Mom hold some of those views which I just feel she’s been conditioned into those other parts of the Bible but I believe what she really believes about God and what’s really true about him is he is love, and that’s the believe that would hold me but if what I’m hearing about the evangelical believers and the ones who preach divisive message then my believe is no more cause that’s not a God of Love in some of the passage I read in the Bible that’s a monster and again goes against what I believe if I am to keep the believe in this God. All loving powerful and knowing God cause I do believe a God of pure Love there is no force more powerful then that cause there’s nothing more powerful then love, but if I am to hold that belief then I can’t see the Bible being the infallible word of God. Cause it has too many contradictions, and my believes therefore will have to come through more of my spiritual experience and finding what I believe about God is really true if his existence is indeed true. So I wasn’t sure what you meant if I care if what I believe is true what exactly you meant by that was it the definition of love or you thinking my belief of the Bible because if that was so I just thought I should clarify exactly how my belief is made up which is many concepts I am a skeptic but in a way where I just not doubt things to be true but have a belief it can be true it can not be true and ofcourse only with real hard evidence for me to say it’s absolutely truth with no doubt which most of the story of the Bible they just don’t have that evidence to support it, however that shouldn’t matter In Corinthians the definition of how it describe love I am in no way a skeptic to that cause I’ve experience that I’ve felt that I’ve seen it through people like my mom my family which they all tell me it comes from this Christain God, and if his love is really like that then not even he can believe all the parts of the Bible cause it talks about how love is not jealous but in one passag it’s says God says “I’m a jealous God you should serve no other but me”. You see that’s contradictions. If a part of my beliefs is truly right and if that’s the part of me your speaking about if I care if what I believe is true well yeah I hope it is cause that means no matter what happens what I do, what barriers come this God of love instead of judging or condemning me even when not trying to hear him will still protect me and guide me, save me, and love me and it may take my whole life or when ever but if it’s true no matter how surpress it may be I will eventually hear him and overcome whatever bad obstacles that’s in my life. If as you say if what I believe is the truth shit nobody, creature, entity, or force in this damn universe or multiverse or just say all reality has nothing to worry about cause they all will find inner peace, reconnections with loves ones to be with for eternity, happiness, and basically guided under the freedom of love from the source of the unconditional love I believe in.
"You took it out of context" is the thiests usual response 😂. Then they try to justify god killing babies and children because their parents sacrificed them. Would it have been better that God asked the jews to rescue those children and show them a better way?
Leviticus 25: 44-46, paraphrased, directs that from the nations around you you may buy slaves; they will become your property and may be inherited by your descendants.
and yet at the same time there's the threat of punishment for following so called "false prophets" and anyone else who spreads "evil". it's so laughably terrible and inconsistent bullshit that unfortunately gets real people harmed by idiots who blindly follow this nonsense.
@@dma8657 Nice. So the Bible tells me that I can buy a slave from, let's say, Canada, and that I can do all sorts of perverted things to them and they should subject themselves to me and revere me as their master. I'm _really_ beginning to like this religion now.
As we see, this scripture is one of character, it is not encouraging slavery, as no scripture does, it instead is saying that despite our situations to act honorably and show the love and goodness of God, even in bad situations that we can't control. This in no way tells you to go get a slave. But thank you for sharing this scripture.
I met a person recently that seemed to think the same thing about the wind. She told me that we don't know what the wind is and that we'll never know because we aren't meant to. According to her the wind is created by God so it's impossible for us to understand.
Don't you just love/loath when idiots practically tell you they've only ever read one book and not even half of it? These anti-fact religious fundies are so exhausting...
She isn't that bright is she? As a primary schooler I was interested in Meteorology. Very useful especially since I was competing dingy sailing. The wind is very well understood.
She a Muslim? There's a make up/ apologist channel that makes similarly stupid arguments and windows into the sheer lack of education of these individuals.
@@KGraceSpeaksKea1335 Really? I was thinking Josephus Flavius, so far. Wouldn't surprise me if later people kept borrowing the same icons, though. Especially if knowing the roots.
Your proof is what ? Maybe if you actually read the story instead of taken this liar view of the story you might actually learn something? Oh I get it people like you can't actually read but you rely on others to tell you things that they themselves don't understand.
The reason that Science and Religion cannot cross, is because Science is about dealing with reality, by using proven methods that self-correct. Science adapts and fixes it's mistakes to tell us the best possible way to deal with reality. Religion is taking the mythology in your head and projecting it outwards. There is no method to self-correct built in, in fact it openly encourages followers to reject reality and embrace faith. Religion is built upon claiming to know things that cannot possibly know, and then twisting the meanings of words to support unjustified beliefs, no wonder all arguments for god are broken gibberish.
It's easy for a God to not lie when he never said anything. Only men speak for him and they lie for him. Dishonesty is the hallmark for apologists. Hail Reason 🤘👹🤘
it's worth bearing in mind also that jesus didn't write a single word, not even "my dad can beat up your dad" and oddly, despite miracles being er, miracled every other day, no one actually wrote about him either, not even "saw jesus feet surfing today, rad" no one really cared about jesus until paul saw a way to make billions and billions from bible sales.
Seems like he hasn't suffer enough. Perhaps the suffering in Africa 🌍 he would then understand that only Jesus can help them now. Here in America and Europe the brainwashed continues ....
Close. It's extreme gullibility that promotes ignorance. Source: My life as extremely gullible and faithful to an imaginary being. AronRa was instrumental in my deconstruction years ago.
True. And Aron's belief that "trans women ARE women (in some vague, mystical, pseudo-spiritual sense that nobody can even define, coherently...)" is EXACTLY as supernatural and faith-based, as any Christian/Muslim claim about "gods". Aron Ra USED to have honest, consistent, evidence-based beliefs... Until the last year or so, when he started promoting beliefs that have the EXACT SAME standard of evidence as Christianity, or any other religion. The evidence for "god" is 100% IDENTICAL to the evidence for Ra's belief in "gender"- ie, BOTH claims have literally ZERO empirical evidence... yet believers (like Ra) respectively accept BOTH claims, SOLELY on the basis of "but it FEEELS true, to me!!!" Sex is based 100% on empirical, real-world evidence. While "gender" has NO empirical evidence, and is based ONLY on feelings and bald-faced assertion (just like ALL religious claims...) Yet, if you ONLY believe the evidence-based claim (sex), and reject the claim that's 100% devoid of ANY SHRED of empirical evidence ("gender"), then Ra claims you're being an immoral "bigotted transphobe". How is that ANY different from a Christian, who claims you're immoral ("you just hate god, and want to sin!!"), if you reject HIS (equally) evidence-free claims about the Christian god?!? Both are TEXTBOOK (entirely FAITH-based) religious demands; Thinly-disguised attempts to pressure you into accepting claims without evidence- "God/Aron/Allah isn't FORCING you to believe anything... But if you choose to REJECT the (100% devoid of empirical, demonstrable evidence) truth of the koran/"gender"/the bible, then you're an immoral god-denyer/a transphobic bigot/you just hate god, and want to sin!!!" Ra USED TO reject faith... But today, Ra actively DEMANDS faith in evidence-free claims... He just does this in an EVEN MORE dishonest way than most Christians (who, like Ra, will ALSO swear they really totally OPPOSE belief without evidence!! That their claims all DO totes have rational evidence, etc). Just like Christianity or ANY religion, Ra's faith-based belief in "its true COZ I SAY it's true", evidence-free, 100% feels-based "gender" quickly collapses, with A BARE MINIMUM of honest, consistent, EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE-BASED investigation... But sadly, most of Ra's fellow-believers are no more likely to HONESTLY question their own evidence-free beliefs, as any Christian or Muslim will ever question THEIR beliefs being "the REAL truth". -Biological sex is based ONLY on empirical evidence. -"Gender" has LITERALLY ZERO empirical evidence; it's based 100% on "but it FEEELS true, to me!!" ONLY... If you prioritize the evidence-free ("gender") as somehow being "the REAL truth", above SIMPLE, EVIDENCE-BASED REALITY (ie sex), then you're a religious believer, actively promoting faith, and denying evidence-based reality... (and no amount of mental gymnastics and slogans about "just a social construct", "conflating sex with gender", religious persecution victim narratives. Or accusations that rejecting evidence-free assertions = "hateful, bigotted transphobia" will change that simple, evidence-based reality...)
The Bible is supposedly the word of god, but it matches the politics and the moral compass of the time period it was written in EXACTLY. Yet no Christians point this out? If it was the word of an all knowing, all loving god... Wouldn't it be completely different? You're incredible Aron. Never change! Unless you want to! :D
Strangely my proof of the supernatural would be a text that is not in any known language yet instantly not only able to be read but able to be perfectly comprehended and impossible to interprate in any other way and if it was done any being that could read the text and who could correct them. This would apply to anyone who could read, even if otherwise illiterate.
Oh on the contrary, he would be wise if he would stop making a fool of himself when he clearly don't even know what the bible is all about because if he did know then he wouldn't be saying all the foolish things about what he is quoting. He don't want truth he just lives to argue when someone don't wanna believe his foolishness.
There's been a numerous published studies done on this where people were questioned on their knowledge of the bible. In every case by far the highest scorers were atheists the lowest scorers were the more devout theists.
first video i've ever watched of Aron Ra and boy am i glad i did, because it launched me into the realm of skepticism and actually reading the bible from an analytical standpoint instead of a biased one.
I would find the bible interesting if it explained in detail: The configuration of our solar system and the universe beyond. How evolution works and has resulted in the biodiversity we observe. The structure and forces of atoms. Plate tectonics and continental drift. All these things would have sounded ridiculous to ancient humans but as technology advanced they would have been proven to be accurate. In fact the bible would be a guide for scientists on where to look and what they should expect to find. It should also contain instructions on how to create a society where everyone is equal and resources are evenly distributed so that nobody wants for anything. Basically a framework for world peace, Utopia. All of this clearly communicated to everyone on earth. One "religion" This book is what I would expect to see from a "higher power" or "god". It is so far from what we actually have, a bible that has held back progress and been shown to be totally wrong whenever we finally have found answers. It is man made superstitious nonsense.
This is ultimately what killed the bible for me, for good.☝🏾 💯 There are so many rules and sayings that are easily debunked and that make no actual sense (especially if you're proposing a 'benevolent' god), and these things are presented as truth and as proof because it is "so wise" -- yet absolutely NONE of the hardcore, no-one-could-know-this-unless-they-are-an-advanced-scientist stuff gets revealed by what is supposed to be the MOST important book in existence? Nonsense! 🙅🏾♀️
It would be simpler, and vastly more important thousands of years ago, to show that microorganisms exist and some of them cause disease. If one of the Commandments was, "You will wash your hands every time you handle dung or sick people", God would be more likely to actually exist.
If it had simply revealed the existence of microbes that cause disease, and provided instructions on how to detect and fight them, the Bible could have saved countless lives.
I live in se ky the Bible belt to the extreme! and I love AronRa I love his honesty, the way he thinks things out with logic and science! and how he explains things ! He is the greatest and makes me believe there is hope for the human race without resorting to religious mumbo jumbo!
Wow! You took me back to my senior year in high school (1980). We had a very progressive teacher for AP English. First half the year we read Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies, had a lively discussion and had to write a paper taking a stance on contrast or comparison. Second half, we read a book on Mythology and The Book of Job, following the same format. I found out I wasn't the only atheist in class! And we also delved into this exact topic you covered... God and Satan's personality and behavior in different parts of the Bible and comparisons to the Mythology we covered earlier. Again, very lively and interesting discussions from both sides. Best class I had in high school in SC. I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Side note: my mother, a staunch and strict Catholic, was quite pleased I was reading the family Bible again (it was a big honkin book and beautifully illustrated)... until she read my paper (for which I got an A-). We've been estranged since (I'm 60 and she's 82).
My mother was also a strict Catholic. When I came out as atheist to her it hurt her deeply. She told me she had to decide that God could not possibly condemn me to Hell as the Church taught her. One of the cruelest things religion does is put dogma over parental love.

God does not speak into a man's head, but to his heart. Just like you speak from your heart about the things that matter to you. We are more than "joy and hope", dictionary definitions.
Evolution is not science: it's Counter science. The rest of the sciences are wonderful and beautiful, apart from big pharma and their more-hurtful-than-being-good effects, war machines, air and water pollution distributers, manufacturers of deforestation machines and a few more. Moving on, The Bible is accurate and true and everyone knows it, you people obviously appose it for spite and because you don't want the actual truth. Since the public universities don't allow creation or The Bible a topic for teaching, there are plenty of scientists who support creation and The Bible right here on RU-vid, sometimes, although too few, their lectures are at universities. The ONLY non-bias and non-prejudice science, mathematics or numbers--applied to all physics, biology, chemistry, denies evolution not just millions of times (which is enough to seriously question evolution), not just billions of times (which is enough to to make evolution an outright made up story), but Trillions of times over and beyond the point of Negative Probability--reason, wisdom, soundness, evidence, etc. It is impossible that evolution took place. But the evidence for creation, which must include God, is in all life, from the smallest molecules and animal and plant, to our atmospheres, sunlight and rain, all flora and fauna, to our Earth and the Sun, to the rest of the cosmos. The Bible is proven accurate time after time and again, from the global flood to Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham and Lot, Joseph and Israel in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, and the list keeps moving forward and on and on up to Jesus and first century Christians, ALL of these people and events and places are ALL linked and bundled together into One story, one theme, one message, unlike no other book ever written. Why? Because it is God inspired. All prophesies that needed to come to pass have come to pass, from ancient times, to Jesus' day, throughout the centuries when Gods word became "secret" (Daniel 12:7-13), to when "The last days" started, when Jesus became king in heaven, 1914, and Revelation 12:7-12 began to be fulfilled. Talking snakes is Aron seems to make a big point of his stance against The Bible? Than you need to understand the Bible first before you stand on your point spoken. Satan had the ability to turn into namely whatever he wanted, as did the other angels, and a serpent was his choice. It was that easy. Again, science denies evolution because evolution is counter science. Honest science proves creation and The Bible accurate one hundred percent. "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld" (Hebrews 11:1). This is what faith stands on, not Your assumed "blind faith." If you are going to talk about a subject, it displays a sound mind and person worth listening to if you knew and understood what you are criticizing. This is a rule of standard and principle on matters of teaching and conducting the subject matter. Lastly, when you say (in other videos) that The Bible took stories from other previous books or writings, IF those stories were actually written before The Bible was ("scientists" of course twist the evidence as they always do), there is no doubt they simply wrote down their material from the actual events that took place according to what The Bible says. The Bible had his word written according to His timing. As I said before, all Gods prophesies must take place; few remain. Your choice.
Old testament: A poorly written anthology of short stories. New testament: The first collection sold so well, we published a second anthology, and included fan fiction, never mind that some of the worldbuilding contradicts itself. Themed anthologies do that because the authors submit stories without coordinating with the other contributors and all the readers want is a good story.
literally, it's good fiction, even though it has many, but many flaws it's still good fiction, and would play a video game about christian mythology, just I play in greek, egyptian, norse mythology, but you cannot live life thinking this is true, and basing your moral view and the understanding of the world in this fiction, it's just limiting your human capacity and capability
God = frequencies The bible is the word of ego Frequencies create everything in the universe. Human language is copying the process that frequencies create with.
@@lobban2 look at these two experiments, if you can see it, no further explanation should be needed, but most people do not have sight to see The amazing resonance experiment and star in a jar. What you see in those experiments shows exactly how the bible describes God.
You know, Aron I can understand why some people would call you one of those "angry" atheists. You and I were both lied to for most of our lives by the people we trusted the most. We have every right to be angry.
It's not a case of "lying", but a case of willful ignorance. Numerous, thousands of PhDs know that the Bible's books & authors thereof, have an uncanny coalescing & merging facts about God, which are nothing like any other writings known to humankind. 24,000 ancient manuscripts about ONE issue, not a few hundred written about well known people & issues in history. You don't look, so you don't find. God purposefully made it that way.
You can be angry all you want. However, every human being has their own burden to seek to ABSOLUTELY KNOW whether The Creator God exists, and to ask of God to be led to Himself. EVERY intelligent person knows that God exists. Every person who seeks to know Him intimately IS led to Him. The evolution farce is something that every scientist must also examine, especially since there is NO VALID scientific principles that cause evolution of species or abiogenesis (first life) to even be a plausible concept. Imagine relying on a bolt of lighting into a warm pond, as many evo's do, and that somehow, that bolt of lightning was able to create and assemble EACH component of life during that one split second, and thereby result in the first reproductive biological cell on earth. Then, realize that scientists discovered the tiniest cell ever known to exist, circa 2000 AD. They discovered that this cell required a MINIMUM of about 380 biological body parts/ organelles/ organs, which allow the cell to thrive & reproduce. Then, go back and spend ten minutes on a worthless class about evolution, based on what Richard Dawkins or Aron Ra claim, and THEN you'll realize that if even that tiniest cell required ALL THE COMPONENTS OF LIFE that it does, the concept for a Divine Designer is quite appropriate for one and all to consider. Don't be duped. .
@david77james There is no secular evidence that godman Jesus exists. oh, I'm sure there are plenty of scholars that would say that jesus exists because most are of the Christian faith, but other scholars in support of the Jesus Myth theory can be found in the writings of Richard Carrier and Robert Price and David Fitzgerald, the author of : "Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All." Even Bart Ehrman ( a well-known Biblical scholar) said: *No first century secular evidence whatsoever exists to support the actuality of Yeshua ben Yosef.* "What sorts of things do pagan authors from the time of Jesus have to say about him? Nothing. As odd as it may seem, there is no mention of Jesus at all by any of his pagan contemporaries. There are no birth records, no trial transcripts, no death certificates; there are no expressions of interest, no heated slanders, no passing references - nothing. In fact, if we broaden our field of concern to the years after his death - even if we include the entire first century of the Common Era - there is not so much as a solitary reference to Jesus in any non-Christian, non-Jewish source of any kind. I should stress that we do have a large number of documents from the time - the writings of poets, philosophers, historians, scientists, and government officials, for example, not to mention the large collection of surviving inscriptions on stone and private letters and legal documents on papyrus. In none of this vast array of surviving writings is Jesus' name ever so much as mentioned."
From the very moment a people says that God chose them to be his favorite people between the creation of heaven and earth, and that the only proof is a book that they themselves wrote "under his inspiration", it is time to realize of deception.
There is actually a video out there somewhere of Steven Anderson proclaiming that the bible itself is God. So you're right, they literally do worship a book!
That’s the whole foundation of Protestantism. Martin Luther basically said “all the churches are corrupt and people worship the corrupt Pope for some reason. Instead we’re going to worship the one thing we know is from god; the bible” Catholics worship the church system while Protestants worship the bible.
A book that most of them have not, and will not, ever read. All Christians I know would be absolutely astonished at the evil lies they don't even know their book dispenses, let alone the misogyny and homophobia.
Someone, years ago, asked me, "If, you don't believe in god then you worship the devil." My response was, "What makes you think that since I don't believe in god that I would believe in his brother, the devil?" Nice to see, after all these years, I'm not alone in giving that response. :D
How does one distinguish between the two anyway? They both are shapeshifters lol....how does a mere human know. Jesus was a false God sent to spread a false, hateful religion and all christians are going to hell why atheists go to haven for staying strong against the false religion and it's Cult of death.... Proof me wrong🤡😂 All these wacky denominations have absolutely NOTHING in common with the original christian delusion anyway...
Satan is basically Yahweh's servant. It's kind of a "good cop, bad cop" situation. Otherwise Yahweh wouldn't be omniscient and omnipotent, he had to know Lucifer would rebel and cause the Fall of Man.
@@AthenaSchroedinger Yeah, pretty much. I don't think the Old Testament ever actually implies that Yahweh is omnibenevolent, or even a loving deity at all. It spends a lot more time emphasizing Yahweh's wrath and jealousy than it spends talking about Yahweh showing anyone favor, and when he does do something nice for one person or group of people, it is usually whilst doing harm to other people. It's only in the New Testament that this sort of duality wherein Yahweh is all-loving and Satan is the source of evil manifests. Most Christians will never reach these conclusions though, they'll rationalize away any inconsistencies with the idea of a "tri-omni" God by saying we can't judge God because he knows things we don't and this must be the best way of doing things. It's the same sort of response as when you ask why Yahweh couldn't have just created us in heaven to begin with, or why he put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden with a tricky snake he knew would convince Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. "God works in mysterious ways" they'll say, shrugging their shoulders.
Powerful (and, if truth be told, Honest) content. You are one of the greatest liberators of our time. If there were a god, I'd bet he would feel an awful lot like the wizard of Oz after he was exposed, but he cannot, because sadly, like the aforementioned book (and, coincedently, also made into a fantastic movie), the Bible too is but a fairy tale. You are a brave man to tell the emperor he is naked, and you do it with a good dose of humor, charm, and dare I say, grace. Thank you. You feel like the big brother I never had.
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again." Exodus 21: 7-8
Scoff on oh scoffer, without knowing first thing about what you read, as you continually search for things to denigrate, when you don't even know what the issue is, especially as relates to The God. Brilliant!
@@JLSAudioWorx - Reply? I don't know if you wrote anything, and I don't go hunting down what you might have said previously or what you responded to, if it is not recent. I barely look at who sent something on comment sections, much less go digging for previous comments made. I do a hundred a month, quite likely. Anyway, you should give a clear reference to what you're talking about, OR YOU will be talking RANDOM GIBBERISH, as YOU did in this case, so far at least. .
@david77james 🙄🙄🙄 cmon my guy, you know full well that he's talking about the scripture quoted by the OP, which indeed you did not attempt to reply to. And if you didn't realise that, then you may not be the most well equipped person to be defending such damning scriptures. By your own admission, you make a hundred comments a month, and if the comment above is anything to go by, that's a lot of time wasted - making 100 comments each month that, in effect, say nothing.
According to the "Parable of the Mustard Seed" in Matthew 13:31-32, mustard seeds are the smallest in the plant kingdom. Right? Wrong. Mustard seeds, which are about 2 millimeters in diameter, are behemoths when compared with those of orchids.
I mean they are already noticebally bigger than poppy seeds well known at the time across Eurasia, including Judea, so whoever wrote Matthew was ignoramus even for his time.
@@minskghoul well, writer(s) thought that verses about messiah riding on donkey, on foal of donkey, which was clearly poetry way to talk about same young donkey, meant that messiah was supposed to read on two donkeys! 🤣
As always cogent and concise, every word counts. Excellent work, thanks as always AronRa. My you and yours be safe, and always stay free. They can't chain your mind! 😐
This is what I think when hit with the “gods beyond our imagination” line. If that’s true it’s odd that he’s seems bound b6 the imagination of who ever he happens to be dealing with.
I always know it's gonna be a good day if there's a new AronRa video! BTW, "Because God doesn't know what the Sun is" may be my new favorite quote of yours. :D
Always amusing, especially the sun bit. Makes me appreciate the world building of DIskworld so much more, where lots of biblical things are real, flat world, sun moving around, etc.
I am currently reading The Last Continent. I’m in the middle of the part where the wizards meet the god on the island where they’re stranded. He makes so much more sense than the abrahamic god.
It just occurred to me, thinking about comedians, how the things you say could, with just a little tweaking, be turned into a very successful comedy act. I'm thinking about George Carlin in particular, and how his delivery is very similar to yours, with a big dose of sarcasm thrown in. I'm a big fan of yours Aron, and I'm not being snarky here. I really think you could be a very successful comedian, if you wanted to.
I agree. Mr Carlin was very smart and brought up many great religious conundrums that I often bring up to religious folks because they are mostly simple and easy to understand and God knows that is what is needed 99 percent of the time. Watch "the god who wasn't there" on u tube if you get a chance. Thanks Mr. Ra. Love you.
Carlin was a genius in his own way, not a bit shy about telling it like it is with brains and b@lls. Mr Aron, you're a sharp man; but I sure do miss George.
You ran the cheese grater over the nerves of the deluded religulous with this one, Aron. The hysterical BS in the comments is comedy gold. Great work, as usual!
Oh here he goes again using logic and reason to explain how the bible is wrong when we all know magic and superstition and "mysterious ways" and two thousand years so what do you know and "cos I believe" and stuff and other stuff and reasons and more stuff mean the bible is absolutely true. When you use a well thought out logical argument against "stuff" you know you're on the losing side!😉😉 This is another clear and concise video. Thank you Aron Ra.
"God works in mysterious ways" and "bless your heart" are the two most duplicitous phrases ever. I almost died when I was 6 years old, and got the whole "Jesus saved you" and "God works in mysterious ways" spiel. It was then when I saw the foul natured side of modern evangelicalism. Thanks Mom and neighbor and grandma, but I'd rather have not been confronted with my own mortality from an everyday activity when I was still the truest notion of a child, causing lasting mental effects to this day. Now I see it for what it is, either a brainwashing technique, or a "fuck you" in the face of your suffering, neither of which are exactly desirable to receive.
@@phillyphakename1255 “thoughts and prayers “ is my favourite. An earthquake kills 10,000 and destroys a city. God being all powerful and all knowing could of stopped it but didn’t. Therefore he obviously didn’t give a shit. So why bother praying to him afterwards.
It's almost fascinating how many details one can still see are blatant lies in religion. That book is still the same book it was when I was a child, and yet, words being the same, it still surprises me how, when viewed objectively, people have been deceived by its prophets and priests. I've _always_ "known" the snake to be Satan. But as you point out, there is indeed nothing that says it is... Just the vague clue that they both tell the truth.. Thank you Aron for the time and effort you put in to exposing these lies for what they are.
The study showing that prayer is no better than random chance when it comes to preventing death in cardiac patients should have been the final nail in the coffin of religion. But no, believers simply got offended at the prospect of their god being 'experimented upon' without being able to formulate any specific reason why that shouldn't work. The implications are that god is either non-existent, non-benevolent, non-omnipotent, or does not want us, his creation, to learn about him. But really, this pathological mindset that caused the author of the study to thank an omnipotent, omnibenevolent god for a laughable 2% improvement in survival rates among those patients prayed for is what troubles me. Of course, even this pathetic benefit has turned out to be the result of errors in data analysis.
People with cardiac illnesses are actually doing worse if the know they’re being prayed for, because the stress of wanting to get well to prove the prayers worked exacerbates their illness.
@kellydalstok4518T his is especially concerning given how eager many Christians are about letting people know they are playing for them. Despite the fact that their holy book specifically admonishes against boasting about praying.
Concerning Jesus potentially being a mason instead of a carpenter: I heard somewhere that back in the day in the Middle East, stone masonry was referred to as carpentry. Apparently there wasn’t enough wood to go around, so much of their furniture and whatnot was made of stone (much more plentiful than wood).
If there's one thing I learned from years of Christian education, it's that anything refuted by modern reasoning is just waved off completely as metaphor
If that's the ONE thing you learned, you don't qualify to remark on any subject, much less form a viable broad conclusion. The tiniest known cell requires almost 400 components/organelles, fully formed, fully functional & inter-functional, ALL simultaneously, within the master cellular organism, or else it cannot live, thrive & reproduce. So, in your mind, do you think a bolt of lightning hit a pond & created the first tiny cell? Brilliant. God might be strange, but humans are just weird and/or stupid.
Wow. I was brought up in a very religious family. I left the faith many years ago (when I realised the ministers were actually very much akin to the "priests of syrinx")😂. There were points you made that I hadn't actually thought about (the bits about the snake/satan and how if they hadn't eat from the "tree of life" they would have died. God made them to die, they needed something special to eat to stay alive) so good work. Extra bonus for getting Ozzy's "The Ultimate Sin" in there😂. Excellent work.
There is a difference between a lie and bullshit. A liar knows the truth and is deliberately trying to conceal it, while a bullshitter doesn't know or care what the truth is they are just making stuff up. Bullshit may be accidentally true.
"I started bullshitting myself as soon as I got in my 40s. Soon as I got into my 40s, I'd look in the mirror and say...'Well, I...I guess I'm getting... _older!'_ Older sounds a little nicer than old, doesn't it? Sounds like it might even last a little longer. Bullshit, I'm getting old!" ---- George Carlin
As a Freemason I can concur he is a Freemason. He was at my 3rd degree. Pretty good dude. He was the Grandmaster of Jerusalem for nearly 2000 years. 😅😂
At least the Norse and Greeks said explicitly that their gods lied and cheated and did cruel things. They didn’t have any problem of evil, because there was no obvious bullshit about god, or the gods, being all good and all loving. Nope cruel liars their gods. Explicitly.
I listen very well and I know this man is a liars and does not comprehend what he read. First thing off top when a man just around and mention tons of story from the Bible and just give a general overview of what the story say that's should tell you he leaving a lot out of the story, so is he being honest in what he say or is he lying ? I say he is lying. 2nd when you actually go to read the story it's not exactly what he say it is which mean he is decieve his listener.
