Losing Paradise | Angels and Demons
I'd like to start this video a little differently normally, I would just make the video and assume this went without saying maybe. I'd slip it in after 10 minutes as a quick disclaimer and then move on but this seemed important, enough that I thought I should say it from the start if you're expecting this to be some epic atheist, takedown of Christian, beliefs you're. In the wrong place I have no interest, in tearing, this book apart if you believe in this book that's fine I don't want to take your faith or anything else from you but. If you think Moses, threw down his staff and it turned into a snake I do want, to take that from you because, you're wrong. This. Video is brought to you by skill share the. Bible and specifically. The Old Testament, isn't a very good book narrative Lee speaking this happens, then this happens then this happens then there's a whole lot of knowing, and begetting then this happens it's just kind of a list of events there aren't a lot of rising, actions or climaxes, or even, character, development and that's fine since that's not necessarily, its purpose, but when you're trying to tell these stories to children you. Kind of have to punch it up a bit otherwise, they're just not gonna pay attention that usually, means adding, on to the story or changing, certain aspects, if I were to ask you who went to Pharaoh and said let my people go and threw, down his staff which then turn into a snake, most. Of you are going to say Moses, I knew some of you we're going to get this wrong but Jesus. Moses. Either had a speech impediment or was incredibly, shy interpretations. Vary but the point is he, wasn't very good at public speaking so, his brother a. Iran, spoke, for him then the Lord said to Moses, see I have made you like God to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron will be your prophet, you are to say everything, I command you and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites, go out of this country whenever, this story is told Moses. Often, becomes a composite, character of both Moses, and Aaron, I'm not sure why I'm pretty sure kids can understand, that there's two people but fine, so in every movie made about the book of Exodus Moses. Does all the talking while, Aaron just stands off to the side, if. He exists, at all he's completely written out of this scene in the Prince of Egypt, so it's Moses, his staff that turns into a snake but in the original source material, it isn't, Moses staff so, Moses, and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded Aaron. Threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials and it became a snake Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also, did the same things by their secret arts each one threw down his staff and it became a snake but Aaron's staff swallowed, up their staffs but, that's the new international. Version maybe, they changed it, let's take a look at the official original. King James Version, and Moses, and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh and they did so as the Lord had commanded and, Aaron. Cast on his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a serpent then, Pharaoh blah, blah blah but Aaron's rod swallowed, up their rods, no. Matter what version you look up it's always, been Aaron's, rod. The, thing is when I asked that question several. Of you specifically. Mentioned Charlton, Heston who played Moses, in the Ten Commandments. Hears Charlton, Heston and here's not, Charlton, Heston even in this movie it's Aaron I don't know why any of you thought it was Moses, maybe. You came from the Berenstein, universe, another, Bible story which has fallen victim to modern, embellishment. Is Noah's, Ark in the source material there really isn't much to go off of the entire story, from beginning to end depending on your version it's just shy of 800. Words to put that into perspective so far, in this video I've, said, 800, words and a good chunk of that story is just IKEA, like instructions, on, how to build the ark this, is how you are to build it the Ark is to be 300, cubits long 50, cubits, wide and, 30 cubits high make, a roof for it leaving below the roof and opening one cubit high it goes on but I think you get the point for those of you who don't use cubits, in your everyday life it's 18, inches so the ark was one and a half times the size of a football field and four, stories, high, let me summarize the story of Noah's Ark for you God tells Noah to build an ark to, be filled with two of each animal to escape the flood which, will wipe out every, living thing in the gallon on earth on earth that's, it that's the entire story how, do they take that and turn it into a two-hour, Russell, Crowe movie by adding on a whole bunch of extra stuff the thing is no matter what modern interpretation.
You Sit down to watch they, all have the same story, beats initially. His family doesn't believe that he spoke to God there's, some sort of confrontation with, the local towns folk with, or without fallen, rock Angelz maybe Noah tries to save other people, but they also don't believe him and afterwards, they send out birds to try and find dry land none. Of that is in here, confabulation. Is when someone has a false memory of an event or story ranging, from a slight alteration to a complete, fabrication, when. Everyone, has the same false, memory, we call that the social, contagion of memory conformity. But you probably know it by another name the, Mandela, effect. You. Probably already know what I'm gonna say about this don't you and the, thing is we all know it's wrong, the fruit of the tree of knowledge is, never named people, who actually study, the Bible for a living think it might have been a fig which grows, in the Middle East or maybe even a pomegranate some, scholars, believe it wasn't an apple but. A ruby, red, antioxidant-rich. Pomegranate. With, which Eve tempted. Adam what a weird way to market your product hey remember that thing that doomed humanity, for all eternity well, we, put it in a bottle drink, up saying, it's an apple is incredibly, Eurocentric. It's even stranger when you remember that up until 1893. Apples. Tasted, like dirt more specifically, like a raw potato. The only things, apples, were good for were improving, your lands so that you met the legal requirements, of the Homestead, Act and, turning. It into apple, cider people, didn't really drink plain water back then doing so ran the risk of you dying from diarrhea, so most, people either drank coffee and tea which you have to boil or, why an insider, which you have to ferment would any of you really have been tempted by a raw potato assuming. Adam and Eve weren't Irish I doubt. It the idea of it being an Apple came centuries. Later along, with many of the other things you remember about that story Adam, and Eve take up a single, side of a single, page of this book it's about a thousand, words so depending, on how fast you read you can blow through it in a minute so. Why is it when we tell this story we, all have the same extra, narrative flair the answer is Paradise, Lost by John Milton Kevin.
Lomax John. Mill that. Movie actually borrows, a lot of themes and lines from Paradise Lost Buttered. Reign in Hell than serve in heaven is that it what, Dante was - Italian, literature John, Milton was - English, and wouldn't, you know it they both chose to write Christian, fanfiction, and both used religion. As a disguise, for, political, commentary, Paradise, Lost was written over five to ten years and published in, 1667. So, the political and religious situation was, completely, different from Dante's time the Protestant, Reformation was, in full swing and the pilgrims, just landed in America keep, that in mind as we discuss the plot which spoiler. Warning but it is a three hundred and fifty year old poem, that tells the story of Adam and Eve but from, Satan's perspective, you probably heard all the spoilers already the story is presented nonlinearly. Meaning, we start in the middle and there are flashbacks, I'm not. Going to do that here so if you want the original experience. You're, gonna have to read it yourself I read and listened to a few different versions in preparation, for this video but I personally recommend the, BBC, radio dramatization, where. Satan is voiced by Ian McDermott, aka, the Emperor. Better. To reign in Hell than serve in heaven if that isn't perfect casting, I don't know what is when, you picture Lucifer, in your mind you either imagine, him as someone who hid every branch of the ugly tree during his fall from heaven or something. Like this dang Lucifer, you looking like a snack Dante's, version of Lucifer made him a half goat three faced six, winged monstrosity. But. When I gave that information to Poe the Wonder cat to draw this, twink, studmuffin, is what I got which is fine he included everything I told him to and he's certainly not the first to do that almost every modern depiction, of Lucifer, whether he's a man or a woman casts, him as a perfect, 10 this sexy, and even sympathetic. Depiction, of Lucifer, started. With Milton's, Paradise Lost Satan. Is the protagonist. Of this story we begin with Satan, and his followers waking. Up in a lake of fire in, Hell which, they call Tartarus, I swear I've heard that name before they've been banished as punishment for participating, in the rebellion of angels against God why did they rebel well that's an interesting story in the beginning it was just God, in the Angels living, in the Imperium, what we call heaven Lucifer was one of those angels and angels are apparently, beautiful, there's some debate over what rank of angel Lucifer was if, you recall in heaven God is surrounded, by nine rings of angels one for each rank the closer you are to God the higher your rank and the highest were the Seraphim, you'd think being the highest rank would be awesome, but a seraphs, only job was to continuously. Shout praises at God they're the ultimate yes, men they have six wings and they're engulfed, in a perpetual fire, Seraph. Means burning ones so, that's fitting, since Dante's, Lucifer, had six wings some, think he might have been a seraph though some biblical scholars including, Saint Thomas Aquinas believe, Lucifer, belonged to the second order of age.
The Cherubim, no cherubim. Were not naked babies, like Cupid instead, they had four wings covered, in eyeballs for faces, and the body of a lion decidedly. Less cute which, is fitting since they guard God's throne and the Garden of Eden we'll get to why that is later the next order are the Thrones which, appear, as wheels within, wheels. Again. Covered, in eyeballs they serve as symbols, of God's power and authority and that's. It they, don't seem to do anything, the dominions are next they look like your typical angel, and their only job is to delegate, work to the other angels the middle management of the angelic hierarchy, the virtues are in charge of controlling all the elements, in the universe and they're also responsible for all of the natural miracles. In the world they also don't. Have any physical form that we know of the powers make sure that all the laws of physics are maintained, and supervised, the movements, of all of the spheres of heaven someone's got to make sure things keep ticking over right there also the warrior angels who banish evil spirits, to hell and served as the primary soldiers, against Lucifer's, army the seventh order of angels are the principalities. These angels oversee countries, nations and groups of people much. Like how Saint Patrick, is the patron saint of Ireland Ireland, also, has a principality, angel, they're the ones that give their blessing, whenever their specified, group of people praised before, going to war or playing. Football I wonder if they have any control, over the YouTube algorithm, dearest principality. Of de monetization. Please. See fit to bestow your blessing upon me so, that I may make those dolla dolla bills y'all. Archangels. Are the first ones that directly interfere, with human affairs and, steer, things in the direction of God's plan there are only seven, halo arc angels, and Lucifer, was one of them I don't know if that means there were eight and now that Lucifer is gone there's only seven or if Lucifer. Still counts, and there's only actually six and it's unclear if you can be an archangel and something, else like a seraph we only know four of the seven names which, is why it's unclear if Lucifer still counts, Michael Uriel. Raphael, and Gabriel. That's true the ninth order are the, just, regular everyday angels, that serve as messengers, or personal, Guardians they're, pretty boring humans, don't, become, angels they're, their own thing. You don't die and go to heaven and then perform, some good deeds in order to earn your wings you just need to drink a Red Bull for that that's true Lucifer, was God's favorite, angel or. At least he was right, up until God created Jesus and declared him Lord of the Angels wait I thought Jesus didn't come along until way later, I've always existed. What. I've, always been a part of God and he's. Always been, part, of me what are you doing here Jesus well, you've, been nagging, me on Twitter for a while and it, was getting kind of pathetic dude, I mean I'm here. To answer your questions. Can. You explain the Trinity to me no. One can explain the Trinity if, you asked a dozen Christians, about the Trinity you're. Gonna get a dozen different answers. So. Are you, the Son of God or, are you God yes. What's. What's the Holy Spirit, I think that's enough questions for now, really. Okay, can you just am, I going to hell for all the blasphemy, stuff what are you kidding I do. That all the time ah good. So Jesus, exists, now both in the story and on YouTube, he's verified, so you know he's the real deal Lucifer, didn't want to bow down to this new creation, so he incited a rebellion, it turns out that a third of all angels agreed, with him and didn't want to bow down to God's new son so. They went to war the only problem is that angels, are immortal.
They Just kind of spent the whole day fighting and not really getting anywhere until they retreated, and tried again the next day only this time with, cannons oh my god my god is epic, again this didn't, really work because of the whole immortality, thing, so, they retreated when they lined up for battle on the third day God decided, enough was enough he vanished Lucifer, and all of his followers from heaven and they fell for nine days during. Those nine days he did the whole creation thing and made Adam and Eve it's at this point that Lucifer, ceased, to be Lucifer, and became Satan, much like how Anakin, Skywalker became, Darth Vader by falling to the dark side there was a name change involved, but Satan isn't, name its a title Satan, just means the adversary, and his first official appearance in the Bible is in the book of Job while we're at it Christ, is also a title so his name isn't Jesus Christ, it's Jesus of Nazareth, , the Christ nobody, is gonna call him Lucifer, , the Satan though it's usually one or the other he's known by other names as well but as will soon discover those, aren't always accurate I am the devil Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, the, Prince of Darkness, the. Princess, of darkness anyway while we're at it Lucifer, Morningstar is, a comic, book and TV show character that's not his real last name biblical, characters, didn't really have last names that's a relatively new thing so Lucifer and all his friends are cast down to hell and become demons, there, is no demonic hierarchy. Since they're just fallen angels they do choose Lucifer, as their leader though which is also a new concept, before Milton came along and changed the story Lucifer. Was a prisoner, in Hell not the ruler of it in Dante's, Inferno he's, being punished just like everyone else Lucifer, does have several lieutenants, though if that counts as a hierarchy, including, several people you probably know like, Belial, and Beelzebub, Beelzebub, is a separate, entity not, just another name for Satan after they regroup they build the city of pandemonium, and gather around to democratically. Debate what to do next, imagine, that hell, is a democracy you see Milton lived during the time of Oliver, Cromwell and, was an avid supporter of his Commonwealth, government, Lucifer's, rebellion against, the monarchy of God is written as a good, thing some, of the options put on the table include fighting again or building, their own better, heaven but then someone mentions rumors of an entirely new creation, they could corrupt perhaps, they could enlist these new creatures in their fight against God it's heavily implied that Lucifer is controlling, the democratic, debate by, feeding lines to his lieutenants, I am.
They. All vote for the third option to corrupt man and then discuss who will do the actual corrupting, Lucifer, heroically. Volunteers, himself, he heads towards the gates of Hell which are guarded by his children sin, and death those, aren't just their names they are the actual embodiments. Of sin and death they were born through a weird incest, and I'm sure there's a rule 34, about it somewhere when sin and death opened, the gates to let Lucifer, out they. That they can't close them again this was the first time they'd ever been opened and now they're stuck that way Lucifer disguises, himself as a cherub, and asks the Archangel, Uriel for. Directions, to the new creation so he can see it for himself the concept, of lying hadn't, been invented yet so Uriel. Just tells him everything Lucifer, arrives in the garden and upon seeing how beautiful it is starts, to wonder if he can be redeemed and get back into God's good graces, but he has too much of the north in him now and he decides that he will not kneel he stalks Adam and Eve for a while to figure out how these creatures work, and how to corrupt, them he notices, that the woman is smaller and weaker and she's probably his best bet then he hears them talking about their one and only rule to, not eat from the tree of knowledge and, there you go now he has his plan he spends the night whispering, into her ear telling her how awesome, it would be to eat from the tree and be among the Angels Eve wakes up and tells Adam about her crazy dream about how an angel told her it would be okay to eat from the tree and it wouldn't result in death, whatever. That is remember. They don't know what anything is yet we cut to God who sees all of this happening, and knows man will give in to temptation and, he just lets it happen saying. Man is free to fall Jesus, asks, if there's any way man can be redeemed and God says yes but someone, will have to pay for it who, pays for it you, you. Don't know no, I haven't, read this one. Well. I, don't. Want to spoil anything for you Jesus so, I'm, just, gonna leave. It there suffice. To say, someone. Heroically, volunteers, ooh. That. Sounds exciting yeah. So. God sends the Archangel, Raphael to warn Adam about Satan, and remind him of his free will specifically. So Adam, can't plead ignorance every. Scene of Adam and Eve just has, them talking about how awesome God, is how, much they love each other and how, they're not supposed to eat from the tree of knowledge which, makes sense right what else are they going to talk about hey I saw. A deer, do a thing, today. And. I think I might have discovered a new color it's not like they can gossip or have, any common, interests, nothing. Exists, yet when, file comes down to warn Adam he recounts, the entire story, of the rebellion and creation. In much more detail than the book of Genesis then he just starts answering Adams, random, questions, Adam, says that according to his observations. Of the Stars it looks like the earth goes around the Sun Raphael. Says it only looks that way because the earth is spinning Galileo. Was only twenty or thirty years before this having, Raphael say I don't know about that whole heliocentrism. Thing, is milton's. Way of voicing his own doubts about the at the time current, scientific debate, Milton throws a lot of his other views into this conversation, as well Adam asks, if there's life on other planets, to which Raphael, says let God worry about that. Can't. You just be happy with the one paradise. Raphael, also talks about how Eve is pretty and nice to look at but is less. Intelligent, less pure and has an inferior, spirituality. There's that 17th, century, misogyny, for you the next day Adam and Eve have a ton of work to do in the garden I'm. Not entirely sure what, work they have to do but Eve suggests, that they'd get it done faster, if they work separately they were just warned that Satan is coming but Eve thinks she can handle it and looks forward to proving her faith so. Against, his better judgment, Adam lets the woman go off to work independently. Gee I wonder what message Milton was sending with that Lucifer, sees this as his opportunity and. Physically, climbs into a snake's mouth to, possess it they know he's coming now so he, needed a disguise in Genesis, the serpent, is just a serpent, just like any other animal God created, now the serpent, was more crafty than any of the wild animals, the Lord had made the, idea that the serpent is Satan, didn't, come along until centuries. Later milton didn't come up with the idea but he certainly helped solidify it anyway, he goes over to Eve and starts flattering, her with how beautiful she is saying, she belongs among the Angels in the clouds not, here on earth Satan. Is a smooth, operator.
Eve Is shocked that there's a talking snake telling her how beautiful she is and asks, how he came to talk where, did he learn this power not, from, a Jed by, eating from the tree of knowledge of, course if that fruit can raise a beast to level of man imagine what it could do for you you, would be of God but they were told if they ate from the tree they, died obviously that's not true because the snake is alive she, never actually sees him eat it but she takes his word for it besides God, wants, you to do it he wants you to show your independence, why would he create the tree if he didn't want you to partake this is a test, if it grants knowledge of good and evil imagine, how much easier it would be to shun evil if you actually know what it is this starts making a disturbing, amount of sense to Eve and it's awfully reminiscent, of your typical adolescent. Peer pressure, your parents were lying to you it's not dangerous it'll expand, your mind Eve gives in and her first thought is maybe she shouldn't tell Adam so she can remain intellectually. Superior. But. Then she realizes she can be replaced and according, to some she's, all radio replacement, in Genesis, chapter one he creates man and woman at the same time so, God created mankind in, his own image in the image of God he created them, male and female he, created them, but, then in Chapter two it's just Adam alone, and then God creates Eve the, Lord God said it is not good for the man to be alone I will make a helper suitable for him now, the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky but, for Adam no suitable helper was found so, the Lord God caused man to fall into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping he took one of the man's ribs then, the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man am, I missing a chapter why did he have to create a second, one if he already created, both of them according, to some the first woman was actually named Lilith, and since, she was created equal, to man she wasn't obedient, enough and she was banished, so Eve was created from. Adam, in order to be subservient, Eve knows she could just as easily be replaced so decides that Adam will eat too so they share the same fate whether that be in bliss or whoa, she, goes to Adams says she Aten didn't die God lied to them and now her eyes are open, eat up so, he does then. They look at each other with lust and have the most epic naughty, time that has ever happened sounds, like that Apple was laced with something if you ask me they wake up the next morning with a colossal. Hangover. And immediately start arguing with each other over who's at fault for their current misery Adam blames Eve of course but then Eva Minds him that she came from him she is his to command and, he let her go off to work alone he should have known this was going to happen, Satan confident, in his success, returns, to hell to find that sin and death have created, a bridge between hell and earth while he was away so sin and death are now free to wreak havoc in the world God senses, that man has fallen and he tells the angels that it's not their fault they couldn't have prevented this, he gave humanity free will and individual, choice and now they must take personal, responsibility for. Their actions if those buzz words sound familiar remember. That this is the 1600s. Capitalism. And free markets were a fairly new idea and it would seem Milton was somewhat of a fan God, through, Jesus finds. Adam and Eve in the garden and asks them why they disobeyed, his one and only rule Adam, immediately, throws Eve under the bus which makes God furious. He, created, women to be subservient, to men why, on earth would you listen to a woman Eve then, blames the serpent, God doesn't even question why a woman, would listen to a serpent, he, just punishes, the serpent, so, the Lord God said to the serpent because, you have done this cursed are you above all livestock and all wild, animals you will crawl on your belly mule, eat dust all the days of your life, so that's why snakes don't have legs he also mentions, that Adam and Eve's children, will crush the head of the serpent, a prophecy, later known as the Proteas Angelia, that Jesus will eventually, defeat Satan then God punishes, Eve by cursing her to have painful, childbirth and to always submit to male dominance, that part's in here pretty much word for word God then sews discord, between man and beast man, will have to hunt and tell the soil for food which, is also cursed to grow thorns and thistles Adam, got off light if you ask me and now that sin and death are in the world they will grow old and die and, be tempted to stray from God's divine grace the entire time and lastly God tilts, the earth on its axis, creating, seasons, to make life just that much more difficult Adam, and Eve discuss, what to do about this eternal, punishment since, it sure sounds, awful they briefly, contemplates, suicide but.
Know Eve proposes. A life of celibacy so that their children will not be likewise cursed and maybe because, painful, childbirth doesn't, sound that fun but, Adam rejects the idea because if they don't have children, nobody, will eventually, defeat Satan they, have to have children in order to fulfill the prophecy so they decide to just live with their punishment, but then God remembers, that there's another tree in the Garden of Eden the Tree of Life which grants immortality, protecting, that is why they were banished, painful, childbirth and tilling the soil was, punishment, for disobeying God's command, preventing. Them from eating from the tree of life was, why they were kicked out at least according to Milton and the. Book of Genesis and the Lord God said the man has now become like one of us knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live, forever. Wait us who's. Us in this context, he's not talking about other angels, he's, talking about other gods here's where I'm gonna start losing some people as if, I hadn't, already there, are other gods in the Bible they're at least two, dozen named, gods, in this book, specifically. The Old Testament, God capital. G is only the God of the Hebrews everyone, else has their own gods and they're free to worship them as they please the Hebrews weren't, trying to convert anyone God is the most powerful but, he isn't the one and only in the book of Exodus, he says he's a jealous, God and, he should have no other gods before him it's even one of the commandments, when Moses when Aaron threw down his staff and it turned into a snake the Pharaohs sorcerers did, the same who do you think turned the other staffs, into snakes in some cases those other gods were absorbed. Into Judaism, and Christianity as, angels, or demons take, ball for example he, appears in the first book of Kings as a lesser, puny, God but, is then absorbed, over time as Beelzebub. One of Satan's lieutenants. Satan, is likewise, a borrowed, concept, is he a fallen, angel or, a demon or a lesser. God in the Old Testament he's, just the adversary. It wasn't until Christianity. Came along that God became the one and only and Satan, became his somewhat, equal and opposite, Zarrow Astraea nism was a religion, that existed, alongside, Judaism. For centuries but. Eventually faded, away as Christianity, took, it was a dualistic, religion, it's defining, characteristic. Was that there were two equal, and opposite forces in the universe one. Good and one evil, and they were constantly, battling, over humanity and creation, sound, familiar, Zoroastrianism. Is, no longer a major religion, because they were told yeah. You were right about the dualistic nature of the universe you just, got the names wrong it's God versus Satan in Christianity. Satan, isn't viewed, as a God but he is the opposing, evil force to God's good milne proposes.
That God allows, Satan, to exist, suggesting, that Satan has an ultimate purpose, in God's divine plan and, that his evil is necessary.

Were falling to revolution, and churches were fracturing, left and right so he. Put that in his story Milton, has been described as both a Calvinist, and a Puritan, and his Protestant, reimagining. Of the creation, story has shaped how most of us remember it today along, with our views on democracy. Women, and Satan, many people today don't see him as the embodiment of, pure evil but as a misunderstood.

KB, Genesis never says two of every animal, a curious omission of history and your episode. The language in the KJV states that God commanded Noah to save 7 pairs of every clean (edible) animal and 2 pairs of every unclean animal (anything the Jews were forbidden to eat). Also, as other posters have already stated, Noah did send a raven (twice) and a dove to find dry land to "park the ark." I believe that this is the origin of the phrase "to extend an olive branch" as a gesture of peace.
Oh my gosh thank you.
Correction: It's also not only 2 of every animal (Genesis 7:2) it was 7 pairs of some.
Just quickly, it's is actually a common misconception that people in Medieval times drank alcohol because of dirty water. You can read about it on 'The great Medieval water Myth'. Obviously this wasn't related to the topic of the video, just thought to mention it. No reason to continue spreading that belief. So, uh, now I guess you know better?

Very well written, and good production.
Yeah I was so confused because I was _sure_ I had read about the bird part
Apples are not originally european.
Damn your dangerous, only imagine how violent they were to anyone speaking out against the brainwashing and propaganda they pushed for so long.
The Irish didn't have potatoes in biblical times. It was brought there from the Americas after the 15th century
Am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; the story of Noah's calling to and rejecting from wicked people is in Moses 8 (Pearl of Great Price, which (what we believe) is a recovery of lost parts of the Bible (in translation)). Also, I find your collaboration with a person whose channel actively mocks Jesus highly offensive as a Christian.
@D Brick It seemed like sarcasm to me
Ok, seriously, how long does that make up take to put on?
Michael Wade | That’s most likely hoe my church explains it, but that’s general belief. If there was a better way to explain the trinity besides what I said, I would. Analogies don’t work because if you try to make an analogy it would be heretical. It’s 3 distinct persons that all are equally God. They’re coeternal, coexisting, and coequal, and that’s how it’s revealed in scripture. If I knew of a better way to explain it, I would.
I'd say it's understandable and even logical for Lucifer to be at least attractive if not supernaturally beautiful, cause he is thought to be the ultimate seducer... how can Quasimodo or Adam (yes "Frankenstein's monster" does have a name!") do that? the Kaballah has the three missing names. Sure it's not christian, but then the whole Hierarchies bullshit isn't biblical either... yes these words appear in the bible, but the attributes are mostly pure fanfiction. Hehe... looking it up brings even more silly angelistiks to the light of day... In the Kabbalah there are ten archangels, each assigned to one sephira: Metatron, Raziel (other times Jophiel), Tzaphkiel, Tzadkiel, Khamael, Raphael, Haniel, Michael, Gabriel, and Sandalphon. Chapter 20 of the Book of Enochmentions seven holy angels who watch, that often are considered the seven archangels: Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Saraqael, Raguel, and Remiel.[13] The Life of Adam and Eve lists the archangels as well: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael and Joel. Medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides made a Jewish angelic hierarchy. UHHHHHH "Jesus of Nazareth" is also no his name, if anything Jesus, son of Joseph would count as that. (And god is not named "god" either :D)
Searched without safe search. I regret it.

I'm so happy that you mentioned Zoroastrianism in this
That was unfair. I equate it to potato chips. And congratulations on 3 years.
@Mr. Starfish That might be your particular church's explanation, but there are plenty of Christian groups who interpret differently. Beyond that, simply saying "They're three distinct beings in one" does not explain what that means. You're just quoting doctrine.
Michael Wade | Christians agree that there are three distinct persons, one God, coexisting (so it’s not like costumes or personas), coeternal, (have always existed, which is why the Old Testament uses “us”) and coequal (all infinitely and equally holy, righteous, and divine)
@Mr. Starfish There are people who claim to be able to explain the Trinity. There is no consensus that those explanations are sufficient.
Knowing Better | Christ was not a created being, also there are people who can explain the trinity. Edit: and Beelzebub was a name of a god from I believe Canaan cultures, but I could be wrong. The “us” is there because God is biblically a triune God, and God is not Lucifer’s opposite, since Lucifer is a created being, not a creator.
The unseen realm by Michael S.Heiser is a good book to read he is a scholar who explains misunderstood supernatural aspects of the bible such as other gods except God
@Яков Говорин Thanks, I was sure I had read the bird thing, too. Gen 8:7.
Yo Knowing Beatitudes eye makeup is on point.
Genesis 8:4-12, King James Version- 4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
Knowing Better 27:30. Zoroastrianism was the primary religion of Persia. It didn't fade until the Islamic conquests in the 640s.
Knowing Better if you read the beginning of chapter two, you’ll literally see that the entire chapter is a summary of the earlier chapter but in more detail. As God himself doesn’t work on Saturday.
Knowing Better cite your sources. Please. It seems like some of this comes from varying different types of opposing Christian beliefs.
Hey living in Maui, still paradise here. God bless you Sir

I think it's funny how we think there are "original" or "right" versions of these stories. All of them were borrowed and reimagined when they entered Christianity (or Judaism since most of this is Old testament), modern people are simply continuing the tradition of rewriting their stories to suit their modern sensibilities.
Nitpick: sending out birds is in the Bible. It's in Genesis, chapter 8 and the story of Utnapishtim has it too
it is slightly misleading to suggest the King James was the original source, it wasn't. But other than that - good vid.
Hey, what time zone are you streaming in?
I liked the halo references.
you should do a video on the differences between islamic and christan narratives
bro whats up with all the remy lacroix pictures? she been turnin you on recently?
Exodus 7:10 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE) 10 Then Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it turned into a serpent.
Hey nice video hope you liked making it
No ur wrong
One of the theories with the angels with all the eyes is that it represents all seeing.
duh-duh-duh-dun, duh-duh-duh-dun, duh-duh-duh-dun, dunanun
I've heard that in old English and germanic the word "apple" just meant any type of fruit. So the word apple wasn't wrong in earlier translations.
Great video was fun watching
This is interesting, though it is rather strange that there are plenty of people in the 21st century that have reverent convictions to,,, well, any religiously based mentality. Every single person who claims to have these religious beliefs are either glaringly hypocritical (like cherry-picking the scriptures, ie; fake faith), or extreme nutjobs that actually take this serious. In any case, it is impossible to make the case that religion is not a well structured expression of cognitive dissonance, and is a conviction that deserves no respect. That is to say, don't disrespect a person, because the person has fallen victim to reprehensible bs , though by no means tolerate the deterministic retardation their conviction invariably entail.
"Original, official, KING JAMES version", that is FUNNY! It's from 1611... not very ORIGINAL!!!! You need to go back to the 6th century BCE to get the more, original source in Hebrew.
Good video
I remember reading something about there were many more books in the bible, but they were edited out. Is this because it didn't fit with the ideology of the time, or were they just too weird? Well weirder than a lot of the old testament stuff.
As a Biblical Studies Major, I had a good laugh at this video. I'm gonna ask my Professor to show this video to my Old Testament class.
"...Death will die" Wait, that's illegal!
I love your make up
I'm just excited when men have an excuse to be theatrical and use makeup. It's ART, everyone deserves ACCESS lmao
In the bible, Satan is first mentioned in Job, as you said. He's not in Hell, and he's not God'd enemy. It appears that he's in Heaven. (He speaks directly to God, after all.) His distinguishing characteristic is skepticism of (possible dislike for?) humans.
Guess Principalites wished not on your blessing

Hey the geography guy is reading the Bible. I dig his channel also.
I just think of the buff south park devil who has gay sex with Saddam Hussein. It's funnier that way.
If knowing that it was Aaron not Moses that threw down the rod is knowing better, then it's not better by much. There is a name for such knowledge, it's trivia.
Ahh classy Jesus impersonator. Always a clever joke. Now do Muhammad. I dare you.
TIL that Knowing Better's artist is a weeb.
16:13 we have the same tie
Bravo. It's rare that you see secular folk asses the Bible in an honest objective way. I'm not a believer myself, but I still fuckin' love the Bible! The OT especially has some pretty wicked stories.
I just love Jesus' answer to being the Son of God and God himself: just 'Yes'
“This twink stud muffin is what I got” you are now my favorite comedian on the face of the planet and you can never take that away. George Carlin eat your heart out.

@3:07 Ha Ha Docking joke your dirty uncut ...
1:47 AA’Ron is you prezant!?
That's... that's why you actually read the book instead of watching the movie. Children's Bible stories often forget that many of God's heroes (Noah, Moses, Daniel, David, Peter, Paul, Timothy, etc.) were "under dogs". Noah was an old man, Moses has a stutter, Peter had a problem with his pride, etc. I'm glad though that KB wants people to understand what they believe, and where it comes from, even if he doesn't believe it himself. I'm a Christian but I "search the Scriptures" as Jesus instructs, and I check what I'm reading to its context.
Contrapoints and this guy should have a costume contest!
just because other gods are mentioned in the bible doesnt mean theyre real gods when God says “Us” im pretty sure he means the others in the trinity. samuel tells the jews to destroy their false gods in 1 samuel. but i did love this video man keep up the good content
The whole thing of the fruit being an apple also probably came from the Vulgate. In Latin, the tree is 'lignum scientiae boni et mali.' The word for evil (adj) is 'malus, -a, -um' or (n) 'malum, mali,' while the word for apple (n) is 'malum, mali.' An 'evil apple' would then be 'malum malum.' So it was probably a play on words.
I've been sharing your videos on iur Facebook page
thanks. now I don't have to read any of them. :)
Quick explanation of the Trinity: think of God as a Cube of 1 unit. God has X, Y and Z axes. Three different dimensions that are all equally necessary to the existence of the Cube, It's easier to picture than the usual abstract of 'well it's three beings in one being,' I'd say.
It makes sense that Adam and Eve eat an apple in European translations of the Bible. It had to be understood by medieval Europeans who probably weren't familiar with figs or pomegranates. I know some cultures in the South Pacific call Jesus the "Pig of God" not "Lamb of God", because their culture sacrificed pigs when the missionaries showed up.
just because something was listed as a god in the bible doesn't mean it actually was, it just meant that people worshiped it as a god, and also many think that anything that you love like a god - is your god/idol(so your phone could be your god/idol, your drug of choice could be your god/idol). and satan/demons can turn a rod to a snake, they can do a lot of things that doesn't make them equal to God, it just means they have abilities that seem godly to us humans.
Why is it always the MANdela Effect? Where's the WOMANdela Effect?

You probably know "Morningstar" comes from the book of Isaiah where he talks about Lucifer's fall: "How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!"
Fan-fricken-tastic! I get so tired of trying to explain some of this stuff (God's power vs Satan, the levels of angels, the existence and even acknowledgement of other/lesser gods) to people on the daily. Now I'll just drop them a link and let you handle it. In the immortal words of Pontius Pilate, "my hands are clean."
Love your videos in general. Hate this one mostly....too much fan-facts...not enough who cares or cared then or now. I care about the impact of the Bible on history...less care about the inside baseball.
"Some Mistakes of Moses" by Ingersoll (free via Project Gutenberg) is a good book re: the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). Very dated, but still an interesting read.
Thanks, man, this was a pretty good Jesus Cinematic Universe fanfic.
Relax Francis, you got some reading to do, but you need to read the right book
About the whole Lilith thing - I think you should've mentioned that the creation story in Genesis we have right now is a few that were stitched together. It's actually really interesting to deconstruct and analyze the creation story.
As atheist i like learning about the bible even tho all the arguments has been made
love the video, only thing is that Islam was what did away with Zoroastrianism, not really Christianity
22:59 was a really good opportunity to insert a short clip of Tai Lopez saying "KNOWLEDGE"
The us in genesis is ussually seen as a reference to the trinity, or a plural of majrsty, other gods are mentioned but as you said ussually interpreted as rebellious created spiritual beings, rather than the creator.
This is peak Knowing Better. Thank you for your hard work, it really shows.
Are all angels female?
@A Satsuma Orange Ok, Thanks. It just seems like angels are almost always depicted as female. I was just curious. Thanks for the clarification.
No, (the typical Christian theologian belief is that) angels don't have a sex, because they are not human and have no physical body at all. The angels who are named in the Bible are often depicted as male, so they're capable of *appearing to be men* (see Genesis 19). They probably could appear to be women if the situation required that.
Always intresting
You forgot a critical part of Genesis 3. Eve didn't have to keep anything secret from Adam. He was by her side at the tree, passively watching it happen. Like a gamer boyfriend dating a hard working lass, not bothering to make sure nothing bad happens to his bread winning partner.
As a Christian, I appreciate the way you went through this and loved the jokes along the way. You did a better job at teaching the Word than some preachers do. Keep it classy man.
12:37 jesus!
11:17 oh ma gawd!
Any sane individual knows the bible is just a bunch of myths, but these, by god, stories are a travesty.
Donald Sutherland said Mrs. Milton found Mr. Milton boring, so maybe his depiction of Eve was a way of getting back at her.
Love the video, but one correction. Writings for the second temple period of Judaism, both from Jews as well as from Romans, suggest that the Jews, the heirs of the Israelites, had abandoned the henotheism of their ancestors in favor of monotheism. Early Christians adopted this monotheistic theology
The ranks of angels were made up by St. Gregory the Great. "Tarterus" was originally the name of the place where Zeus sent most of the Titans.
Did you say that skill share is Satan?
Remy Lacroix eh? That's whats up.
Because more people would pay to see Charlton Heston than John Carradine.
I mean Moses did throw down his staff at the burning bush. I still get what you’re going for, though.
Random Fact: Beelzebub is literately translated to “Lord of the Flies”
Hearing your thesis I went to go check the Quran (I'm a Muslim) to see what is says on the whole snake bit, and I actually found that in the Quran, Surah 7 verse 107, Moses is the one who threw down his rod. Wonder if that means anything as to why Christians say Moses was the one who threw his rod?
“Would any of you really have been tempted by a raw potato?” ... *slowly raises hand*
So you are Latvian? Or Irish?
I always found it weird how the only knowledge Adam and Eve gained from the forbidden fruit is that they were naked. What a revelation! In the words of the legendary Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!"
Year Zero lists a few of Satan's names, if you're curious. ;-) I would add my nephew to that list as well.
loved this video
if you're looking for someone tearing your religion a new one in the comments section, you've come to the right place. your religion stinks and you are a moron. your religion is part of the problem. and so are you.

All In could think of while watching this was:- what the feck would you do if Amazon knocked at the door with a parcel.
Um, Zoroastrians still exist....
Source material, Kings James bible. Nice meme
"Official, original King James version" hahahahahahaha oh you sweet summer child
The bible is like that because the back then books were more like "and this be this and then this" with no explanation whatsoever except for "gods way I guess lololol". Its not only the bible. A lot of old books are like that.
Awesome blasphemy, featuring Jesus

*Knowing Better* Very interesting and informative, good job.
Sweet apples have existed since probably as far back as neolithic times. Not only did sweet varieties make a more alcoholic cider (since the yeast eats sugar) but they would have been much more desirable, and the grafting of apple trees goes back to at least the 1st century. It is true that many of the hardier apple varieties are not sweet, and that they had to grow the first apples of the us from seeds, which do not breed true and can often end up "raw potato" like. But there were always sweet cultivars kicking around. The Annurca apple has been around since the year 79, and the Decio variety has been around since the year 450.
my parents did lie to me and it did expand my mind
I love them Halo references
When you got to Thrones... And mention the repetition of being covered in eye balls... Is eyes explicitly stated? And even if it were. I think this maybe an interpretation issue. I have seen, often in anime and comics, with mortal themes a design that may easily be mistaken for rows of simple eye depictions. An oval with darkened circle in the middle. I believe this motif represents... Perhaps eyes, as a symbol of knowledge of awareness. Perhaps chain links, or spiral double helical chains as is the building block of all life DNA. But my favorite perhaps... Perhaps they are portals, the opening by which new life passes, perhaps they are vaginas. They are birth canals.
I should add... I'm intuiting, I don't have a historical source specifically. But I would start with Alan Moore and Aleister Crowley, if I were to point a direction by which to digest my previous comment.
A lot of these so called “embellishments” actually come from the Midrash or stories that rabbis such as Rashi and Maimonides developed by studying the text and symbolism it contained. That’s where we get many biblical creatures and story details from.
Only made it to 5:18 and popped down here to say: boy am I glad I decided to keep watching YouTube videos. Strong work
Halo memes? Yes!
Lilith wanted to be on top. Adam is such a chud and doesn't want to be on the bottom.
5:25 yes, The apple didn't fall on Isaac Newton's head. 5:30 D'oh
More plz
Of course Lucifer would be a perfect ten...he's an ANGEL And not just any angel, he's one of the two most powerful of the ARCHangel generals of God's army. If Michael's hot, why wouldn't Lucifer be as well? His name basically means LIGHT BRINGER, for fuck's sake!!!! Nowhere in the Bible does it say that when he was banished, Lucifer lost his good looks and got turned into a horned monster...
this book is so crazy that i have fealing that George RR Martin wrote it
Warning I'm going to sound blasphemous!!! Does it ever sound like God is just making things up as he goes?
One of the best narratives that I have ever heard about the explanation of the Holy Bible.
Very enjoyable. Looking forward to more content like this(generally all of your videos, but philosophy and so on are very interesting in particular)
I personally like the interpretation south park has where God and lucifer are still kinda cool with each other... just have different beliefs... kinda like a divorce that went well... It makes God a lot more likable and not seem like an overpowered Tyrant forcing his will upon everyone else.
When God references man knows good and evil like "US". That is indeed a point toward Christ and the Holy spirit being present. This is referenced in the new testament, so it's not other "lesser gods"
The KJV is so hyped there are idiots that think Jesus wrote it.
Moses did send out birds in the Bible. Genesis 8: "7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground" Also, I don't know where you get 800. The events of the ark and flood take up the entirety of Genesis 6, 7, and 8. going by the King James Version you're looking at over 1800 words.
Fun fact: Lucifer wasn't actualy the name of Satan, it was used to describe "the morning star" now known as Venus. The use of Lucifer as a name for the Devil is actually a mistranslation; a proper noun was used when it shouldn't have been. Lucifer was used as imagery for the Devil as the 'star' seemed to fall from heaven.
The jokes in this video, I love them
Have you ever noticed that Atheists and Pagans tend to know the Bible better than Christians?
Who is here from socal Christ
Hey - I don't buy this "apples tasted like potatoes until modern agriculture" conspiracy that I've heard in a few places. The temptation of Eve has been depicted as apple-based in English literature for centuries, cf. Adam Lay y-Bounden, an English poem from around 1400CE.
It was James Hetfield the singer of Metallica who said to let his people go silly
Boo Irish joke! BOOOOOOOO!
Lawl, the "people didn't drink water" fallacy, this time invoking not just alcoholic beverages, so that everyone would've been slightly soused all the time, but better yet, modern commodities (as far as Europe and the Americas are concerned)!
The "ORIGINAL" King James Version? Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Yes, yes, I know.)
Fun fact: apples came frome Central Asia! so its close enough to pomegranate/figs i guess.
This Jesus today is actually the Jesus that exist before he died to resurrect but after he was 12, and then he time traveled but had amnesia. Canon fixed
in general i really like your videos, and (only at the 5 minute mark) so far this is no exception, but in genesis 8 noah sends a raven and a dove.
That transition into SkillShare was smooth as fuck.
Wow, this video was truly well made. It was good and very good.
The mentioning of male and female could be explained as the creation of thr concepts of male and female among all living things on Earth, then Adam is created and then Eve
4:58 but Genesis 8-8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.(kjv) Genesis 8-11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.(kjv)
It's a metaphor, to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of thr knowledge of good and evil. It means to go snooping for something outside of god or to think contrary to God. As a 12 year old I deciphered this.
Oh yeah, and just general knowledge.
Atleast i watched the history channel’s version which i remember aaron was the one speaking
Unfortunately no one who watches this video knows better. Your references bounce back and forth from Milton to the Bible placing their accounts on equal footing. The Bible is the authority and the vast majority of the descriptions you gave aren't found in the Bible. Most of this video is rubbish and only works to confuse people about Christianity. Perhaps you should not make a video about this until you know better.
Jesus sent me
Jesus be walking on the water cause he was sending Moses memes and wasn’t paying attention that he started walking on water
I'm a little late to the party - have the Mandela effect nuts chimed in yet?
yeah... I prob should've finished the video before commenting
So God is surrounded by nine levels of anime lolis
When you talk about your confusion with God creating Eve separately from man, while earlier on it mentions that God created them at the same time, you have to realize that the second part it just describing the first part in more detail. It doesn't really say they were made at the same time, just that they were made in the same day. The later part describes how God made Adam and then later on in the same day, put Adam to sleep to create Eve. So they were created on the same day, but Eve was just created later in the day.
My favorite version of the Bible is the LEGO one
I'm still one for lyric and pastoral poetry: "These Pleasures, Melancholy give. I and I with Thee shall Choose to Live"
Thank u so much for the effort you put into you content.. Not only do I walk away well informed about also thoroughly entertained.
But you are assuming that the curated collection of scrolls known as the "canon" is the only source ... actually, it was a whole bunch of insecure overjudgemental closeted ugly men in really sad cassocks who got together and said "ok, these are the scrolls we're going to put in the canon." There are other scrolls for other trolls....
Satan face is cringe
Zoroastrianism is*
Why "knowingbetter8" - of all the numbers to append, "8." Why not "711" or "22" for instance?
They go in order, this is the 8th time they've sponsored me.
At 11:35 you actually signed the number 7 in American Sign Language. Are you fluent? - I’m Deaf myself, so I was just curious.
What happened to your head?
Jesus told me to watch this
The apple confusion also happened because the word apple used to be a generic term for fruit
Lucifer Morningstar is my favourite Lucifer
At least VeggieTales got moses right!
When I read the Bible as a 7 something year old after Adam and Eve get thrown out of heaven the have 2 children who I am going to call Barnard and Barnabus. So Barnard is a proper Christian and prays to god. Barnabus isn’t so when he hears go praising Barnard he gets jealous and kills him. Then he runs off into the desert and marries a puma or something. Then Adam and Eve are sad but the they have a new kid and it leaves the story there and skips to Noah and his ark. Doesn’t explain where the rest of humanity came from just does to everyone being evil and God tellingly Noah there is going to be a flood and he better build his boat quick and get his family on to the boat or they gonna die.
That halo soundtrack
You realize that the King James version riddled with translation errors, so bad source. Oh, death by diarrhea, so they had Denny's too. This seems awfully similar to Diablo's story. Wait, despite the name, the description sounds more like a worm, not a snake; snakes don't eat dust. And Christians didn't end Zoroastrianism, Islam did; shame, shame, shame.
1 cubit = 18 in? OK, but what about those who do not use the imperial system either.
So Christianity stole from other religions.
What has become of Lilith?
Moses didn’t exist
Lucifer isn't technically his name either... it doesn't really take away from the text, but that name came from a translation issue, can't remember from which language, but English didn't have one. The original Hebrew scholars didn't want to give him the credit of an official title, so they used the title "THE Satan," (or the adversary). Also Seprihim means "Snake," but also "Spiritual Being," but the "Burning ones," thing is heavily debated of where it came from, but Seriphim could be used to describe the burning sensation of venom. All in all, glad I stuck around for this. You hit the nail on the head with all these misconceptions. Almost all of the arguments people present me with against The Bible are almost entirely from these inconsistencies. Admittedly, I would make the mistake about Moses if I didn't take a second to think about it. The one that makes me upset the most, is in nearly every movie where Moses has that "I'm a Hebrew moment?" when Scripture clearly states "He never forgot he was a Hebrew". Also on the Adam and Eve front, Adam. throwing Eve under the bus was supposed to magnify Adam's cowardice, not Eve's mistake; also Eve was never away from Adam... another gift from Milton. Also, I'm glad you understand the other gods thing...however the other gods are the principalities that were given dominion of the Earth after the Tower of Babel- a ziggurat constructed by prideful men who want to bring God's Kingdom into that place. Thank you for this video man, I thought it was gonna be about something completely different until you mentioned Aaron. Hopefully this will fix some of those misconceptions, and hopefully no one else is exiled from Florence and writes a new floor plan for Heaven and Hell. lol
Okay, I love the information you presented in this video, but it seems like you started to ramble and go on more tangents than usual.
What's it with YouTubers doing devil impersonations lately?
The Noah movie is based only on the Jewish story, that's why Roman Catholics are confused by it and ultimately reject it as false.
But I think we can all agree on one thing: Prince of Egypt was good. Arguably one of DreamWorks' best films.
Isn't God always reffered to using plural of majesty. I even remembre that "El" mean (any) god Elhim is the plural and means (any) gods and Elohim means (the) God and is gamaticaly a plural of majesty like in the way we use "thy" or in french "vous" for a personne you are suppose to show respect to.
10:42 cool, that's sounds like Tolkien's Silmarillion
Has anyone ever complimented you on the phenomenal job you did in _Captain America : Civil War_ ?
6:00 aren’t apples from Central Asia so how is it Eurocentric?
well, could you do a series on explaining religions from their source scripture? ide recommend to continue on with Islam with the holy quran. maby Hinduism (if you're up to the challenge) and Buddhism.
If a “God” is too incompetent/lazy/apathetic/incapable of getting his desired message and existence across without ambiguity and without the help of flawed mankind, does it or it’s message deserve any credible respect or consideration and thus does all the old stories used to support it’s supposed existence then even matter that it makes it worth this effort to clarify them? It is like trying to figure out what King and his men tried to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. The facts don’t reinforce the fiction to make it credible.
i came from jesus his twitter!
@knowing better Man it’s well worthwhile waiting for your every video. You never disappoint. Pretty amazing. Besides flawes execution and great info, You gave me a good laugh when you switched from devil to angel. Hilarious! Keep up the good work.
Doesn't really matter what the fruit was, since the story of A&E is an obvious allegory to the agricultural revolution. The type of fruit doesn't take away from the metaphor.
Fun fact: Freddie Mercury was brought up in Zoroastrianism.

Wow thanks history Anthony Fantano
Apple comes from the old English and broader Germanic word for fruit and its exclusivity to the one fruit is relatively new. Hence Pineapple being a thing. its not named after apples as it looks nor grow nothing like apples, but it looked kind like pine cones, which used to be called pineapples. Themselves named such because they were the fruit of a pine tree.
Nice job with the sources, but you should consult the ESV (English standard version) in the future as it is a slightly more accurate translation. The King James and NIV versions are phrase for phrase translations from the original hebrew/Greek text. The ESV is a word for word translation from the original text and often preserves much of the literary nuance, metaphors, etc from the original text. Also, hats off to you for painting your face red when talking about lucifer
@6:15 Nitpick: people did drink plain water - a fact easily corroborated by multiple sources.
✝️
Ironic. Adam, a perfect embodiment of christianity's long standing misogynistic patriarchal paradigm, blames Eve for their fall, because of course a good fundamentalist christian would blame women. Eve, the personification of the very model of femininity that the christian patriarchy fashioned to be a _good woman_ by its own standards, blames the very force that made her this way. It's almost like it's saying something about institutional misogyny completely by accident.
Isn't the King James Bible really badly translated through five different languages?
This is a really weird halo fanfiction
Great video, excellent compliment to your Divine Comedy video. Really good point that the Bible is for the most part not a book of monotheism as we think of it today. Its people and its writers were living in a polytheistic world with a polytheistic mindset. You could say though, that the Law, prophets etc basically recommended that they practice monotheism, but without really needing to shatter the whole polytheistic worldview. That's something pretty hard for many Christians to understand if they haven't really studied or contemplated the mindset of the people of bible times. I know you never directly say it one way or the other, so this isn't a correction, just adding to your point: Satan's name being Lucifer is also a pretty spurious interpretation that has made it's way into pop culture. KJV uses the title Lucifer (meaning "shining one" or "light being") at Isa 14:12, but there's no real indication that that's talking about Satan at all. Its part of a (lengthy) denunciation of the king of Babylon. True there are some things in there that sound like something Satan might think or say, but nothing that an arrogant megalomaniac human king couldn't imagine. The reason we think Lucifer is Satan probably has a lot to do with Milton and Dante. That Eve was a replacement is an interesting thought. Keeping in mind your first statement that the Bible isn't a book of strict linear narrative however, it could just be that Gen 1:27 summarizes the creation of man and woman, whereas Gen 2:16- backs up a bit to explain it in more detail. Adam's expression at v. 23 certainly seem suggest this is the first time he's seen a woman. Aaaaanyway, I could go on. Thanks for making accurate, balanced content on touchy subjects. Whoever thumbed this video down is easily triggered.
Its a shame really, because one snake peer pressured one woman. Now everyone hates snakes and women.
"I don't wanna take your faith from you, but I wanna tell you it's dumb"
I don't know why, but he reminds me to Anthony Fantano
I thought it was William Blake who first said in print that Milton depicts Satan sympathetically.
Why would an angel need a watch?
Hey man, bet video yet, nice job
>original >king James pick one
You did lose me when you said, but not out of disagreement. Just started moving a bit fast at the end where I would prefer more clarity of your point and context. I like seeing realism and truth brought to Christianity because I think think we should have faith in the right place, not in culturally regurgitated nonsense. The idea that we should be subservient to the common understanding makes no sense when Israel himself is the one who wrestled with God. We should wrestle to ensure the world we produce is one that lives up to our ideals.
I'd like to correct you on the appearance of two dozen gods in the Bible. Those many other gods were embodiments of divinity used by other cultures, but they were imaginary and not actual gods. This is nicely shown in the history of Elia, and his confrontation with the priests of Ba'al, where he proved that Ba'al was a false god (yes, a Stargate SG-1 reference) because he could not perform a miracle, you can find it in 1 Kings 18. As for the staffs of Pharaohs magicians becoming snakes too, this is generally understood to be by the force of satan, since he also has supernatural powers. However, Gods power is much greater, which is why the other staffs were eaten by Aarons staff, as a sign of superiority. Pharaoh was not really impressed, which is why there were the plagues over Egypt. God says in the ten commandments that He is jealous of other gods, not because they exist as actual gods, but because the people worshipping those false gods, and not Himself. In conlusion, there is, and always has been only one true God, and the rest was either imaginary or through satans work. This is also true according to early Judaism, as far as i know.
Do a video on dealing with Nihilism
So did they actually cast the emporer to voice satan?
Love these theology videos. Keep em coming dude.
"He creates man and woman at the same time." That is not what that is saying. It's simply saying that God created them. There is zero time reference in there. Chapter 2 expands on what Chapter 1 was talking about. Why is this such a hard concept for some people to grasp?
1:45 אהרון its pronounces : A - ha - ron its really not that difficult
It’s spelled aaron so it’s a lil confusing
"asks if there are life on other planets" Huh. That's actually pretty interesting to hear that they wondered this very thing back then.
"There is no demonic hierarchy since they're just fallen angels" Are we still just going off of Paradise Lost? As there are actual theoretical hierarchies as put forth by goetic texts.
I have transition whiplash from the Skillshare promotion.
Nice job, too bad you’ll never do one for Islam, far too controversial
I'm glad you caught the bird thing, but there was one other biblical error. “God became the one and only” long before the New Testament. See Isaiah 44, especially verse six. Judaism did not start out as monotheistic, but they made that change LONG before Christianity was a thing.
Zoroastrianism died out because of Islam spreading to Iran and India, not Christianity, and still exists in a small minority.
its actually pronounced aharon
The reason Europeans believe the Apple is the fruit of the tree of knowledge is because in Latin, the word for Apple and the word for Evil are the same word.
DO YOU WATCH PAYMONEYWUBBY!?! THATS TRUE!
*[Halo Theme Intensifies]*
8:10 - I may or may not have a mild erection right now. Definitely interested in listening to that now.
RIP bro
6:14 is actually a bit of a misconception
Great work. Kinda upset Youtube is not letting me see your videos on my sub feed :/
Hell is a democracy
well, I'd argue most who has been somehow 'engaged' in Christianity at one point in their life would have gotten the snake question right... i.e. those who got it wrong probably has never really 'engaged' in Christianity.
Do note that Lucifer being Satan isn't an Old Testament thing, and the name Lucifer is likely a mistranslation of Haniel, one of the few female angels, and she (alongside Laliel) was noted as supposedly being beautiful (many of the angels as described in the Old Testament are outright nightmare fuel.)
Although I am a Christian, I take the Bible with a massive grain of salt. It's a 2,000 year old book, edited countless times, spoken through the word of a thousand people, it's definitely not 100% correct, no matter what any priest says. I believe that God is real, but not entirely like it is laid out in the Bible. I believe that the stories in it are based on reality, not that they are reality. In the end, I guess it's simply up to time to see whether I'm right or wrong.
You never talked about Chaos and Night! :(
I would be tempted by a raw potato
A few inaccuracies; "satan" is as you said a title. Very strictly, the snake can be understood as satan as in accuser or opponent, and not the satan. Likewise, Lillith is very specifically a Kabbalistic development that happened after Christianity, which (mostly) rejects the very notion of Lillith. The story as told in Genesis can be and has been traditionally read as outlining the process of creation first, then getting into the nitty-gritty of Adam's creation on the 6th day in chapter, which is followed immediately with the creation of Eve. Furthermore, "us" is understood to mean the Trinity: three persons in one essence. The Christian church interprets this as evidence of the trinity, a foreshadowing of the full truth to be revealed, like how the Ark is a preconfiguration of Mary or the Tree itself being a preconfiguration of the Cross. This means that all notions of many gods were errors, and it is corrected time and time again later on. Like the entire notion of Messiah. Finally, dualism, valentinianism, manicheanism, and gnosticism which are associated with each other to varying degrees were widely rejected in the early ecumenical councils, and were the main reason those councils were formed. Most Christian churches recognize at least 3 of them, with varying degrees of acceptance beyond that. To wave the trinity away is to ignore the fundamental teaching of Christianity at large, and is part of why this concept continually persists. It is ultimately a matter of faith, a point in which you find a root assumption. For Christian's, it is the trinity, for Jews it is the Earthly Messiah. Of course, this is more a discussion about Milton who is incredibly unique in his views. Still, to assert that there is definitively and absolutely more than one god in the OT based on Milton is incredibly inaccurate and unfair to the readings as understood by many, many biblical scholars from all schools.
Just a note, “apple” used to be a general term for fruit when the first bible translations were made.
When God says "us" he isn't referring to himself and other gods, only himself (the trinity). "Us" means God the father, son and holy spirit.
Okay youtube, I’ll watch it
The word "Satan" in hebrew can be translated to "accuser." When I read the book of Job, I think of "the satan" as more of a title given to a chosen angel, rather than a single person - kind of like when somebody is referred to as Minister. All in all, always enjoy your content. This video made me realize of how little I was taught about the actual bible in Sunday school as a Catholic. The Bible just gets more esoteric every time I learn about it. So much has been fictionalized or completely omitted.
Uhh… Being a jealous God doesn't imply the existence of others. Only idols like the Gold Calf, the statue of Dagon, and just you know, other religions. But it's very clear in the OT. God outright says it in Isaiah 45:4-6, he creates everything in Genesis 1:1 so there's no room for other gods. And lesser gods are just redundant since angels exist to the same effect. The other gods were just parts of other religions. On Zoroastrainism. Just read the beginning of job. The devil is not an equal force and isn't really the god of anything. Evil isn't even really a force. I could go into it more, but this is already a really long comment. But your worst implication by far was implying that you need a course to be funny. You're funny already and don't ever doubt yourself! This video was great, I loved it and was surprised I missed a few things myself, like the fact about Aaron and Moses. But otherwise there is still quite a bit off and the switch from the Bible to Paradise lost and back was a bit muddied. Again, love (most) of your vids, God bless!
The Blasphemy joke is great!
Fun fact: the “apple” thing is a pun in Latin.
Adam and Eve are Irish confirmed!
Sure complain about their marketing strategy, but in the end you bought one, so if anyone won it the pom people.
"For those of you who don't use cubics in their everday live, it's 18 inches." still don't know anything, me stupid European. But anyways good Video
Wait... Hell is a democratic nation ruled by beings who think rationally against the barbaric abrahamic god? Better than heaven!
Damn you slayed those angel eyes!!!
Fun fact: angel comes from the Greek “Angelos” or Άγγελος which simply meant “messenger”
Jesus Christ! It’s Jesus Christ! I’m sorry about that.
4:10 "for those of you who don't use cubits in your everyday life, it's 18 inches" Well I'm not a degenerate that uses inches in my everyday life either. Very disappointed in you
The mental gymnastics in this religion is amazing
It'a an apple because in Old/Middle english aeppel meant any type of fruit
"that's true..." Pay money wubby?
That was a very thoughtful and interesting explanation of the origin of these stories. A lot of things click into place after hearing it.
When you started showing halo I laughed so hard lol
Legit tho.... that jesus.... could actually be jesus.... i mean that literally... i mean there's no proving he ISN'T wtf weird thought
I always dislike when people refer to the KJV as the "original" text. If you are actually trying to look at source material, you had better learn Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic
The question is, where did Aaron acquire his staff. That staff’s original owner — Moses. So even though Aaron carried it, that staff could still properly be called the staff of Moses.
17'40:"someone will have to pay for it....." i know , i know this sir !! Trump told us :" and Mexico will pay for it !!" Jesus is saved , i guess ;)
Let's be fair, that POM wonderful ad worked. You bought one.
*Jason Bourne, it's Jesus Christ*
Btw when it says “us” that’s the whole trinity thing you didn’t want to get into. There’s no other Gods. There is only one God the creator. Nowhere in the Bible does it say God created the universe with other beings . There are other entities but they should not be worshiped nor do they possess godly powers
Why does KV like to point out that the fact that a man is superior to a woman? Men are physically stronger and have more leadership capability than a woman. That’s just a fact. It’s not mysoginy that’s just reality . This is not just true for people-kind but for most mammals. I know you have a political bias but keep things honest
anime: hello there
Brut, that Skillshare transition.
Didn't Zoroastrianism fall due to the rise of Islam and the islamic conquest of Iran? Also, Judaism became purely monotheistic before Christianity. The Hebrews were monotheists by the time the 2nd temple was built, maybe even by the time they were exiled to Babylon.
Shachar H Yes, you are very much correct with Zoroastrianism. I find it annoying when Better just casually says such insanely wrong things.
Grey looks fantastic
Even my primary school taught me they sent out birds to search for dry land. (It was a Church of England school as well)
A lot of people also forget the 2 of each animal on the arc only applied to the unclean animals. There were 7 of each clean animal.
We have the same pillows...
A page can have more than one side? :P
Another thing Lilith is mentioned in Genesis but the early Jews believed the Lilien, pur were a type of monster that preyed on children. The idea of her being the first woman didn’t appear until the Middle Ages.
What no one seems to be thinking about is that all angels are slaves to God’s will. And Satan, although fallen, is still supposedly an angel...soooo, God is technically in a permanent battle agains a force of evil that he himself controls. Yup.
Also keep in mind Lucifer and the Satans in the Old Testament aren’t the same. Satans were a type of angel that interferes with the affairs of humans.
Even if you stick to the Bible, it's pretty simple to see that god is the bad guy and the devil is just a scapegoat.
the dove and crow are indeed part of the biblical Noah story, contrary to what has been claimed.
Xavier Cuevas It shouldn't be. The intention isn't to look good, the intention lies within the absurdity of the pace painting.
Jack Chase Yes, that's correct.
@Axel Andersson Noah's ark isn't an original story.
Jack Chase Adopted philosophical aspects*
@Mr. Starfish so, you have 3 gods not one correct? not just one?
The literal quote is "and then Moses and Aaron (pronounced Aharon btw) came to pharaoh and told him these things" so it isn't clear either way if Moses or Aaron said "let my people go".
There is only one god and he has many faces. There is only one god and his name is death.
Are you basing all your claims on Dante’s Inferno? Just curious as some of these seems oddly specific and somethings I’ve never heard before, even after growing up in a TradCat family and going to Catholic school that taught the faith in depth
No character development or plot lines in The Old Testament? Bruh thats all Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel are all about. Also Moses’s staff didn’t turn into a snake, it turned into a serpent. Get it right, man.
I don't mean to be a critic, I just want to help you out a bit. I love talking about Jesus! :) I thoroughly enjoyed this video. As a Christian, I get frustrated by how often the media (and other Christians) sometimes mess up what the Bible actually says. Also, I hate to be "that guy" but I have a few things to point out that you kind of missed (sorry if these are out of order). While it is true that the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible) isn't that great at narrating, that's expected since they're supposed to be books of law. Read in the middle part of the Old Testament and you'll find a lot of narrative since that is the historical section of it (the last part is prophecy). Secondly, Noah didn't bring two of each animal on the ark. Well, technically he did, but God told him to bring extra (clean) animals for food and sacrifices. And yes, the bird thing DID happen. It's towards the end of the story of Noah. Most Christians (we are excluding Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and a few others here) don't believe that God created Jesus. As a matter of fact, since Jesus is part of the Trinity, He is God. Therefore, He is not created since God was not created. In case you were wondering, the Holy Spirit is God. Three people, one God. As for the discrepancy between Genesis 1 and 2, there is no solid evidence for there being another woman. Bear in mind, middle eastern narration is pretty different from western narration. Genesis 1 can be thought of as an overview of creation, while Genesis 2 can be thought of as the narrator taking a step back to specifically focus on the creation of humans. In addition, Eve was not made less than Adam. As a matter of fact, she was made to fill in for the things that Adam was lacking. God points out that it's not good for man to be alone. A symbolic picture of man and woman fitting together like puzzle pieces. Also, Adam was WITH Eve when she ate the fruit, so he actually got into most of his trouble for not protecting her. Last thing, sure, the Hebrew word for God used in Genesis is "Elohim" which technically can be translated as "gods" and God says "Us" a lot. But he certainly is not talking about other gods. Otherwise, why would He insist that the other gods are fake? Or read about the prophet Elijah's challenge on Mount Carmel. The Bible makes it clear that there is one God. So why the "Us" and plural form "gods"? Because it is a reference to the Trinity. Remember, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are God too. Again, I don't mean to rain on your parade, I just want to make sure the Bible is accurately presented in the media. Hopefully next time you do a video on religion, you know better :)
8:17 ah I see you’ve been lurking your subreddit, according to your name.
"Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs." This is biblical evidence of docking. Then later god forbade it and that's why they all had to get circumcised.
It must have been a bugger getting that red face paint off. Unless that's your natural colour, and you've been covering it up with pan-stick all this time?
In old English, an "apple" meant any kind of fruit.
9:40 According to some it is similar to the Hebrew word, snake or serpent..
Keanu Reeves again.
How you explain things so well to an airhead like me is fantastic!

WHY IS JESUS PLAYED BY A WHITE GUY
I’d just like to point out that the NIV is closer to the original source material than the KJV
'original King James Version' *laughs in Septuagint*
i don't see why you would say the biblical canon is any "truer" than what the average christian believes. if you sonb't believe in biblical inerrancy, that is.
"That's truth"
Great to see another video from you and, overall, quite well done. Regarding the 'two females' in the creation story, it is because Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 is a separate and distinct version written several hundred years later than Genesis 2:4 onward. There is a bunch of source criticism which supports this. Another item which is 'modern' is that the Adversary is red with hooves, horns and a tail and...oh, the pitchfork thing. That's linked to forks being considered 'evil/decadent' in the middle ages thanks to a Byzantine princess who traveled to Italy around 1000. Funny story that, but it's for a later time. Again, very nice video.
4:10 "For those of you, who do not use cubits..." Me, part of an international audience: That's me! "Let's use inches and football fields." Me: Please no!
Moses threw down his staff and turned into snake *Rick: I am about to end this whole man's career I applaud to anybody who got the joke from rick and morty

Adam and Eve where Irish. Also its Alice and Eve not Adam and Eve.
I have reached my breaking point I have used to like this show until it became stupid you want to talk about gay stuff ok you want to talk about politics ok but enough is enough you have reached the bad waters don't talk about god damn religion I miss the simple all the days of this channel Sorry but I unsubscribed
Wow, what a weak minded individual.
ripping on religion is always fun
marcel500030 Uhh I think it's roughly 32 cm? Idk about that but I think that's it
@Russell whisenant Isaiah was written during a time of Idolatry in Israel... when they had PREVIOUSLY been monotheistic. God is basically saying "I'm the boss, you know this already" I'm not sure where you're getting the polytheism from
@Fast Turtles I hate to be that guy, but it is likely that the "lost" parts of the Bible may actually be apocryphal. For one, they are lacking historical and archaeological support. Notice, the rest of the books of the Bible are historically and archaeologically supported. In addition, Joseph Smith claimed the writings to be in "Reformed Egyptian" however there is again no basis for such a language existing. In fact, if you do some linguistic digging, you'll see that the Hebrew alphabet (as well as the latin, greek, etruscan, cyrillic, and arabic alphabets) are all loosely based on egyptian hieroglyphics. These alphabets that arose are much simpler to learn than the hieroglyphs themselves, so "egyptian reform" was well underway throughout history. Point is, its not a single language/writing system. In addition, only the rich could afford to get the education to learn to write in egyptian at the time (seriously, it's tough to learn) so really the only Jew who could have really know to read egyptian would have been Moses... and he already wrote genesis, exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy in Hebrew.... so the Jews clearly preferred Hebrew over Egyptian as a literary language
@Mr. Starfish But to be fair, any explanation of the trinity is insufficient as our human minds can never fully grasp the full nature of God. But thanks for pointing out his mistake. And yes, Beelzebub was a foreign god, though I believe he is a Babylonian god. Regardless, his name means something like, "Lord of the Flies," and is another name used for Lucifer. Good on you for pointing that out, I totally forgot about that.
@Tim Dexter Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... it does not make a lot of sense for these to actually be borrowed stories. Think about it. The Bible was written by at least 40 different authors over a period of several hundred years in different locations. And yet, it is remarkably consistent and fits well into history. Such a book being written by chance is highly unlikely. There are also lots of interesting parallels between the Old and New Testaments, which is odd because the Bible wasn't officially compiled until about 300 AD. Before that, the Old Testament was a culmination of Jewish texts and the New Testament was a series of letters and manuscripts passed around between the churches for encouragement and clarification.
Can you please repost the conspiracy theory video? It was one of my faves
@Knowing Better If you're genuinely confused about Genesis 1 vs Genesis 2, it's because they're most likely different versions of the story written by different authors at different times in history. Check out the Documentary Hypothesis for more information. There's a lot of really cool stuff there. Also, what's the source on the different angel ranks? I've never found them spelled out in the Bible, and a lot of the places where people seem to see those categories, particularly the ones referring to powers, principalities, and thrones, seem to me to be talking about earthly governments rather than angelic beings. Are those a Milton thing, too?
1) birds are sent from the ark in the biblical text to see if there was dry land - Genesis 8:8 2) Apple was a generic term for fruit until recently, hence the translation of פרי to apple doesn't imply that it was a fruit of the genus Malus 3) Seraphim might actually be meant to be serpantine, not firey. שרף is both burning and serpent. 4) Seasons aren't mentioned as a punishment for Adam and Eve let alone a tilt in axis of the earth. 5) Unlike the punishment for the snake and Adam, Eve's punishment of being subservient to man is specifically not for al the time forever. 6) Adam and Eve contemplating suicide and a lot of other things you mentioned next to that aren't in the Bible. 7) Judaism was already very much monotheistic in terms of other gods being false gods centuries before Christianity.
In Dante Satan is at the same time a convict and the farcesque ruler of Hell, he is trapped in ice, and in tears, chewing on three momentous souls in human history with his three mouths; the deeper you go in the "funnel" spiral of Hell, the more the roles of damned and devils overlap. They are all prisoners after all. While at the iron walls of Dis the try a pathetic resistence to fate, in Malebolge the devils assigned to one Bolgia cannot even exit it. There are some differences among devils though, in some traditions their grades are same number and inverted of the angelic hyerarchy, in Dante they are somewhat organized as an army: privates, caporals, decurions, and probably on.
The fruit of the tree of knowledge is marihuana, my friend.
You should've checked the Torah
If Christianity is true it's pretty clear we are a fucking joke and entertainment in the eyes of god. Why should we worship that?
I'm Irish and take 25% offense to that joke. As my heritage is 25%.
I legitimately tried to like the video 4 different times.
Here from Jesus’s YouTube story!
Whats the book called where it describes Satan's side of the story? Dante's Inferno
It’s always a treat to see a new video that has been uploaded, although too far between:/ keep it up!
Well, Zoroastrianism is no longer a major religion because the Arabs forcibly converted most of Persia into Islam... OH and you are correct the first jewish woman was indeed Lilith and shje indeed was not very impressed by Adams bullshit which is why she has also been demonised.
26:05 EXACTLY In one of those commandments he does say "Thou shalt have no other gods but ME!" Well, technically the precursor to Judaism was actually a proper polytheistic religion the only thing that really happened was the Eloim (The true name of the god of Abraham) simply wanted all power for himself and demoted the other gods to either angels and demons.
As a die-hard Southern Baptist, this was still pretty interesting. We may not see eye-to-eye on everything, but I still enjoy your stuff.
Catholics: The Trinity is The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. They are one but separate. LDS: I'm gonna do what's called a pro-gamer move LDS: They're the Godhead, separate...just separate.
The two hour Russel Crow version was way better.
11:14 The objectively best part of the video
Actually, God is refering to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, because they're both God.
About the depictions of Lucifer the originally most common Christian version was simply a demonization of Pan the Hellenic God of the Forest he liked playing the Panflute and have orgies in enchanted glades... Abrahamitic ignorance demoted him to a demonic spectacle probably to terminate any favourable faith in him and to of course promote faith in the Dessert god/demon Eloim. Tartarus is the greek hell basically and really had nothing to do with the Abrahamic copy of the same. Cupid is the Greek god of love. So Cherubim looks similar to Chimeras? When are these people gonna invent something of their own and stop copying from other mythologies??
As a Christian, I can confirm that much in the information here is accurate, however, he missed the part in Genesis at the Tower of Babbel which is reiterated in Deuteronomy 32 where God placed the lesser Elohim (gods) over the other nations. These lesser gods were not to be God to their nations but to maintain order in obedience to God which was to subdue the earth and not be one nation.
Apocrypals covered the other Jewish gods that got eated when they went to monotheism. Thier genesis episodes talk about this.
Eve kinda got the short end of the stick
Adam and Eve were created to _tend_ the garden, that's the work they would've been doing. God didn't need companions, He just didn't want to weed.
21:14 “This is a Test” DIAVOLO?
Ste_Ven_ a cubit is about 46 cm, and a football field is about 91.5 meters
Genesis 8, Verse 9 "But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, for the waters where on the face of the Earth and she returned into the Ark to him. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself." Verse 10 "And he waited yet another seven days and again he sent the dove. Behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf." And when Noah sent the dove again, it did not return to him. This is NKJV(Best version) In the beginning of Verse 8, God does make the waters to stop, but the Ark has not yet settled on dry land.
Knowing Better will you do one on China in the 21st century?
@Merrick Dodge read the epic of gilgamesh, and Satapatha Brahmana, there are elements of Pandora in Eve, Utnapishtim in Noah, there are parallels to be found in Zoroastrianism, Egyptian, Norse and Hindu and Germanic mythologies. Christianity is blatantly based on Judaism which is demonstrably an evolution of the broader family of semitic polytheistic religions of Babylon and Assyria which are in turn rooted in Sumerian myth. It didn't stop 2000 years ago, as there are hundreds of offshoots to Christianity today, and there are newer religions that borrow heavily from Christianity, like Islam and Baha'i. No honest evaluation can deny at least thematic similarities between these traditions, but adherents will have a hard time claiming that any religion but their own is the "original".
wait wait wait!!!??? Why would Aaron turn his staff into a snake? The form Satan took to tempt Eve...collusion? Where was muller when we needed him...
I thought he was just Yeshua Ben Yosef....
Aaron's rod
"Are you God or are you the son of God?" Jesus: *_yes_*
“Christen fan fiction” I love this channel
This reaffirms my belief that the bible is a metaphor to describe gods ways. Afterall how could humans accurately describe god, how could they describe an infinite being if not in "simplified" terms ie the snakes representing gods superiority against god or something like that. That is also the reason I find people who use the fact that the word of god is unusual in its method of description, of course it is humans as it is have trouble expalaining infinancy and certain attributes of our world. Granted some may be discovered as we go but I don't think humans could ever really understand infinity with out understanding it in simpler human terms after all, the word "infinity" is itself put in human terms, as with every other comprehensible thing in our universe. TLDR, just because the bible features some whacky and bombastic ideas and concepts does not mean that these ideas are neccisarily wrong infact it is a belief of mine these stories are metaphors to not only describe attributes of a deity but also some ideas as a whole ie moses's staff represented gods superiority and how jesus himself as a son of god was a metaphor for how humans could find salvation in god. still a good video I like it alot.
4:26 Ohhh. Y'know, I don't think I had made that connection until now. I dumb.
And next your going to say the bible was against free speech and democracy and instead executed those who spoke blasphemy and those in power were chosen by god....phhhh you cant fool me atheist
2:45 The Islamic version is vice versa first the magicians throw the staff then it's moses
Ha. I know you watch Jeff holiday.
I suppose the video would be about 1 mins 30 secs, including sponsor and call-to-action, if you just said "This book, the Holy Bible, is like The Iliad, The Odyssey, Plato's Republic and the Koran - mythology. There is historical context, but every single person, place and event is, in the least, historically suspect and, mostly likely, completely fictional. Have a blessed day!"
16:58: Ah dun wan eet, ah nevah av (Lucifer, on the topic of God's forgiveness)
Completely lost it at those *rods* man
Potato joke about the Irish, really? Do a video about the famine and Irish subjugation by the English. You should know better.
There's a video on youtube on origin of religion but its in cartoon form please check it out:-) also john Lundwall has a channel:-) its about oral tradition:-)
Religion is just calendar worship:-)
Hunter gathering is the opitmy of socialism
I don't even know how to set you straight? The Phoenicians were pagan that were overthrown by the highlander Hebrews. The one god was created for clan community. Farming was important so astro theological gods were primary. Conquest was patriarical/capital matriarchs social. Watch a video by Yuri bezminov:-)
“Not a lot of character development” King David: “am I a joke to you?”
why does it say"to Pharaoh"? It was not his name, it was his title. you go to THE king, to THE emperor, to THE boss, etc. I miss the THE there. thanx, any1. and just a thought to the very beginning of the video: if you are an adult and believe in that book, you ARE wrong. And proven wrong.
Giving Lucifer the last name 'Morningstar' doesn't even make sense. 'Cause loosely translated that's what Lucifer means (or 'daystar' or 'light bringer') I like that show, but it's only slightly more creative than calling your character 'Mario Mario'
In the original Hebrew text of the book of Exodus it is said that the staves turn into crocodiles not snakes.
@Knowing Better oh yea, I guess it take time to make enjoyable videos.
@Merrick Dodge I am having trouble tracking down my original comment, but if I said Isaiah 44 was an expression of polytheism that was a typo. I meant that it was an expression of monotheism. Sorry about that.
That's a sponsor placement guys, please take notes!
Hell's democracy, paradise's socialism, while life is capitalism. Hmm.

If the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was anything (HAH!), I doubt it was an apple, a fig, or a pomegranate, but something of which we would have no conception because it's one-of-a-kind.
27:32 also Islam, also it still exists, but just on a much smaller scale
I love how the Bible treats the word Pharaoh as a personal name.
I heard "Eve" is great at Hula Hooping...

Thinking good thoughts
Idk why anthropologists commonly make the claim that Zoroastrianism influenced Christianity and Judaism. Oral Judaism is older than Oral Zoroastrianism. Even written Christianity is older than writtien Zoroastrianism. The Avestas weren't written down until around the 6th century C.E On top of that, Zoroastrianism never really gained a major foothold in the middle east since the Persians were fairly tolerant of different religious beliefs. It wasn't until the Sassanid (3rd -7th Centuries C.E) Dynasty that Zoroastrianism became enforced and encouraged.
This was great, thanks :)
People drank water; it was either from wells or boiled. They didn’t need to be turned into something more exciting, that was just more fun.
gotta love the video where a literal porn star represents Eve
4:58 no, that actually happens. Noah sends out a raven and a dove to come back with an olive leaf.
Why always the disclaimers? Yes you can mock something. No you don't have to be polite about idiotic ideas if you come across any. And finding shit to be disagreeable or ''offensive'' is part of growing the fuck up.
To be fair, the show wasn't who named him that. They used that name, but they didn't give it to him.
Zoroastrians weren't absorbed by christians, they were conquered by the muslims in the Islamic conquests. Most of them either died or converted, which leaves them to their current status of a tiny minority
I'm glad I can have a shared sense of humor about rods with at least one person.

Remove doubt from your life, please read the Quran...
They do send out birds to find dry land. Read Genesis 8:8 through 8:12. Noah sent out doves, specifically.
The word apple used to be a catch all phrase for all fruit. So it was likely a communication issue that led to the rumor about an apple.
I recently have been trying to read the Hebrew Bible out of curiosity. The biggest shocker for me was how short the Tower of Babel story is. It was like a page long. It was also much less elaborate then I was thought as a child. I also realized that I was told an incomplete version of the story of Abraham as a child. A lot of children's version cut out some key moments in it.
Thanks for adding in the "that's true" girl. Also nice skillshare ad
How is this moderate? He didn't take a side, sure, but can anybody with half a brain cell believe in religion when it's explained like this? It just makes great movies, otherwise it's bs
9:15 son do we need to talk
Gotta know... were the red eyes in the Satan character after-effect or contacts? Either way, great video (as always) KB. Cheers!
God is talking to himself in that context in the Bible if you look at the Hebrew words, he’s talking to himself in a plural form
Swallow my rod, Aaron
I truly enjoyed watching this. It was very well done. You know your material (aside from a few small errors, i.e. "seven pairs of clean animals," one has to eat after all) and you did cover most things. It is well worth pointing out that eating from the Tree of Knowledge does not grant death, a rather curious conflict, especially since Adam and Chava (more popularly known as Eve) were obviously not going to live forever without the benefit of the Tree of Life. Also it might be worth noting that Zoroastrianism does still exist and is practiced today though admittedly in relatively small numbers. Watching this video took me back to conversations with my ex-husbands family, who were all Southern Baptists, and while rather rabid and insisted they followed the literal instructions found in their bible, actually had absolutely no idea what was contained in the book as they had never bothered to read it. They all had one in their homes, acting as a sort of talisman or G.P.S. perhaps so they might be located during the rapture but beyond that it seemed to serve no purpose. I am well acquainted with the Torah (or what some might call the Old Testament) but I have read the Christian scriptures (i.e. the New Testament) several times and it troubled them terribly that I knew their religion better than they did. Had I have known of the existence of this video back then I would have shown it to them but of course it would have just been the work of the devil, your makeup would have proven you allegiance.
Right... almost on all counts... The multiple gods thing.... The idols people made are called gods, either statues, money or whatever interests.... Gods jealousy is a metaphor for the fact that He should be central to one's life. As if for the "we" or "us" I would think He refers to the Father and the Son (Jesus) or you could also add the Holy Spirit...
In French it is considered polite to address someone who is a higher rank than you by plural pronouns. For example, you would say "vous" (you plural) instead of "tu" (you singular). I know something similar is true in both Japanese and Russian also. God could have very easily be referring to himself in that manner in the Bible. You need to keep Akum's razor in mind with the Bible. It would make no logical sense for Moses to be that cryptic when writing the Bible.
11:26 BLASPHEMY!!1
The old Testament does not apply to our religion its just the history of the jews our religious ancestors
Angels are like birds they’re there own thing.
As a Christian. I don't believe you committed blasphemy. My God is the only God worth worshipping. Good video and well informed info.
There is a lot of, probably intentional misstranslation of the original Hebrew text that was the old testament, to make it sound more monotheistic. Some times it literally says god but in dual form and some times unspecified. I think it also mention god in plural form.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time we use "pagan" religious concept to comprehend christian concept. Hel is the underworld of the Norse mythology.
tl;dr: A few rough spots imo but great job overall. I’ve studied the Bible hardcore most of my life and I have three comments about this: 1. I wish you’d been a little clearer about what’s Genesis and what’s Milton. I feel like that section would be super confusing for people who don’t already know the source material. Something like the asterisk thing you’ve done before or different color overlays or whatever would have been nice. 2. Re Noah and the birds: That definitely is in Genesis. Chapter 8, verses 6-13 describe it very clearly. 3. Despite all of the above, I think you did an admirable job with this. I disagree strongly with your interpretation of some points but I always appreciate when common misconceptions are corrected and you did a good job of hitting some of the biggest ones. Keep up the good work!
also 4:24 OOHOOHOOOOHOOOHOOOH
Berenstain universe lmao
I am not impressed with your theology.
27:35 "sound familiar?" The Jedi and The Sith?
Someone: Moses threw down his staff Aaron: aw shit here we go again
I want to point out the fact that they did send birds out to find dry land afterwards. I'm Jewish, and so all of this comes from the Torah (which are the first five books of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, aka the old testament), but I don't know how you got the fact that they didn't send out the birds. Sure, it's not exactly clear that their only purpose is to scout out dry land, but the story basically goes Noah sends out a raven to travel back and forth and keep him updated on the levels of the waters. Then he sends out a dove to see if the "waters had abated" or not, which they handed because the dove came back without finding a "resting place for the sole of its foot." Seven days later, he sends the dove back and it returns with an olive leaf (this part is not entirely clear, but the dove found dry land). That's all in the source material, it's possible the Tanakh was simplified over the years as the old testament, but for us Jews, that's the story we tell and it comes from the text. It's also worth mentioning that "clean" or Kosher animals went on the ark in seven pairs, whereas the "unclean" or non-Kosher animals were just one pair.
Maybe you should mention that god killed 1 hundred thousand people... or something like that, and also the devil killed 10... Also man is listening to women...
That's true
I will preempt my statement with an pseudo-addendom which consists of three words: I am subbed Now that my statement has been cleared YOU MAKE ME ANGRY someone believes the fruit was an apple that isn't necessarily wrong because we don't know what it was and calling something eurocentric doesn't invalidate it and in fact having a mind centered around your heritage/Europe in general isn't a bad thing believe it or not, principly because PEOPLE LIKE THINGS AND HAVE OPINIONS YOU DICK HEAD, also every Christian doesn't necessarily conform to the King James Bible, in fact afformentioned Bible was not created under the direction of God but under an earthly king.
19:27 You have good tastes my man
A cool video, thanks. Too bad you're going to hell for it. It feels almost unfair.
The Bible said "fruit" basically, but "mallus" is latin for apple and very close to two other words with latin roots (Malice and phallus) and an ancient translator translating it from hebrew to ancient latin had a funny sense of humor. It's a true OG historical pun.
i didnt expect it in the beginning but i really liked this video
the staff ? - and your point being ???? you forgot to mention that Moses attempted to gaslight his way out of the commission GOD gave him when he appeared as a burning bush - Aaron was brought in to hold Moses hand while confronting pharaoh- aaron did all the talking and was by default the alpha of the two so the staff was now his to throw down - the ark - the story is a macro narration of judgement and delivery - and yes the bird part is in the scripture and who cares what hollywierd does with it - they tards are making money off a story that does not belong to them The fruit - so what ? the fruit was not named in the canon the results of disobedience was - okay done with this shitty video - peace out
I always find your videos really interesting. A minor correction...the Noah myth is 7 pairs of clean animals and a pair of unclean animals. In other words Noah should of been charged with animal cruelty for the cramped conditions on the boat.
It was an indeterminate fruit, there's no basis for calling it a modern apple (in Old Germanic languages the generic word for fruit was 'apfel') What made it special wasn't what is was, but the role it held in God's purpose.
The Islamic version has a lot of mistakes, like that staff example, because 7th century Arabs didn't understand what the Bible taught. The Quran is a mix of confused writings, with changes added on many times over the centuries.
On your point on apples. Apples were a collective name for tree growing fruit. At least that’s what QI said.

Great video! Always a treat to watch your stuff. I am not sure the KJV of the Bible qualifies as [the original] but it serves as well as any other for this purpose. Again - great video!
Hmm.. you, analysis of bible and other religions is strikingly similar to the mythology painted in the dresden files novels. Where the "white God" is just the biggest, and only one - as of now - that fights against "the adversary"
6:14 This is false. People still drank water frequently, with the most common method of decontamination being boiling. The only reason tea/coffee would be safer than plain, untreated stream water is that it’s been boiled, which you can just do to regular water. As for alcohol, if that was more common to drink than water for any significant period we would be extinct by now.
In addition to all of this halo stuff, the seraph (burning one as brought up here) was the name of a covenant starfighter. Just another neat little thing
Apple just meant fruit. NOT just the things we think of today.from Old English æppel (“apple, any kind of fruit, fruit in general, apple of the eye, ball, anything round, bolus, pill)

Religions were created as tools for manipulation, just like economics and politics. Power and control, pure and simple. However, if you follow Buddhism then you're a good friend. No, I don't follow any religion whatsoever. I follow me.
30 seconds in and i already hate it. Moses' staff turning into a snake is no more ridiculous than other stories from pretty much any holy book. The only logical reason to not "take that away from them" would be to not offend them. You can't be like "Well, you can believe 1+1=3, that's fine, but 3+3=7? Oh boy, you're wrong, and here's why:"

Puritanism was Calvinistic. Otherwise, excellent video.
Holy shit, the Bible just got 100x more interesting to me! I fucking swear, the whole "one God" narrative makes things so goddamn boring and I really want to hear all about the many gods thing.
The birth of monotheism as a narcissistic ignorance cult... I bet it wasn't the first though. Modern man took 100.000 years to get out of the stone age.

In the Bible it says that angles don't actually have wings and are scary tall.
Lot of Diablo vibe going on here.
That's it?
I like your close inspection of pop culture as it relates to the Bible, but I'm a little surprised that you missed the detail that unclean animals were taken on the ark by twos and clean animals were taken by sevens. Also, Genesis chapter 8 clearly explains that birds were sent out to find land and 2Peter 2:5 describes Noah as a preacher of righteousness, indicating that he did try to tell people why he built the ark. Since only his family got on it with him, it's clear that the people of the area ignored his efforts. Good catch on the fact that angels aren't humans who have died. The trinity is definitely a lie and so is a fiery Hell of torture. Jeremiah 7:31
In The Quran , Allah Uses The Pronoun " نحن " Which Means " Us " , That Pronoun Can Be Used By A Singular Person In Arabic For Glorification , An Example Would Be A King Could Using To Look Great And Powerful , And God Uses It In That Context. He Also Uses Multiple Names But They All Refer To Him , So Maybe It's The Same Thing In The Bible ( Disclaimer : I Have No Knowledge Of The Bible And I Am Probably Wrong ) .
The parting of the red sea is far less spectacular in the bible.
The snake is a lie
I would imgaine these are tourist controversial videos, could you do more videos on religion please? They're pretty interesting
15:30 what hell is a democracy
smh. When God said "like us" he was referring to the Trinity. NOT to **other** gods. Reference to **other** "gods" like Ba'al is not the same God, what the Biblical authors claimed was that these false gods were really demons that tricked people into worshiping them. When God said take no other gods before me, he was referring to idols, and worshiping money, sex power etc. I know you aren't an actual Biblical scholar or anything, but it isn't too much to ask you to research your videos before speaking this nonsense.

14:57 Wait, choosing someone as your leader is a cocept of hell?? The soviets are right. Democracy is a tool of satan. :o
Genesis 8:6-12 does mention Noah sending out birds to determine if the land is dry enough.
Damn, Shin Megami Tensei gets its mythology right more than most people ever do
For the norse mythology apples *was* a divine fruit, guarded by its caretaker, the young and beutiful Idun. It was the fruit of youth. The gods ate one apple every year to stay young and strong. (and keep the world alive) "an apple a year keeps the evil away" When Iduns appletrees dont grow, the end of the universe are close
"Hell is a democracy." Best line
Making eve Remy, heretic!!!
Genesis 8: 6-12. Noah using birds to find land.
I AM THE SATAN!
Entrapment. Case dismissed. Time to settle this injustice like sane adults and award damages for two thousand years of institutionalised slanderous hate propaganda, tax evasion, sex crimes etc
Man I agree completely with the main theme of this video, most people don't know their bibles and think theres a lot in there that isnt said but I also disagree on some other points. I'd go over them but I honestly don't think you would listen to me even if I provide full sources so oh well. I spend most of my time trying to teach people more about the Bible so if I can't prove my beliefs then I dont deserve them.
Hold up, fellow veteran and educator. Satan was never equal to the triune godhead (27:34 ish). That's heresy.
Thank you. This is fascinating and explains a lot. No wonder they had to come up with god's ways being mysterious. They are downright convoluted. Come to think of it, how is Christianity any different in it's accreted development over time, than Scientology. When you have no awe concerning religions, you can see them much more clearly.
Gotta love that bipolar monster known as God. In Exodus he orders his prophet to do his bidding, then out of nowhere rushes to murder the guy for something God would've known about since the guy's birth... then decides everything is fine because Moses's wife cuts off their son's foreskin and declares it to be the same as Moses getting one. What in the fuuck??? 19Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who sought to kill you are dead.” 20So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey, and headed back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand. 21The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22Then tell Pharaoh that this is what the LORD says: ‘Israel is My firstborn son, 23and I told you to let My son go so that he may worship Me. But you have refused to let him go, so I will kill your firstborn son!’” 24Now at a lodging place along the way, the LORD confronted Moses and was about to kill him. 25But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26So the LORD let him alone.
100% unrelated to the subject of the video but I gotta say that I do like the animated into better than the old "live action" one lol.
KB, you are on a roll sir. Great video after great video. Keep it up!
I'm surprised you didn't throw in a mention of Gilgamesh when discussing Noah
I expected when you mentioned apples and the homestead act you would have mentioned Johnny Appleseed.
'Us' may also be a remnant of the period when the faith was a polytheistic one rather than monotheistic. When the one they call 'God' was the highest of the gods, of a pantheon of gods, and had a wife. In the bible, the character known as Yhwh is also known as El and as Elohim, Interestingly, Elohim is the plural of El which means god, thus Elohim is a remnant meaning 'the gods'. I haven't checked but I'd bet that the pantheon would have been a variant of the pantheons of the Philistines, Phoenicians and other Canaanites.
At some point many years past I picked up the notion that eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge was a metaphor or euphemism for sex and that Adam and Eve were Banished for having Carnal Relations. And that part of the issue was that children weren't meant to be born and every human was to be a new unique creation. I don't know where these related notions came from. Any ideas anyone?
I remember hearing that the forbidden fruit came to be an apple because the term apple was often used to refer to other fruits and similar. E.g: The literal translation of the French term for Apple is Apple of the Earth/Soil.
Funny how Christians often call the mythology of the Greeks and romans silly stories. Turns out they have some silly stories too!
Wait it wasn’t 2 animals though. It was two clean animals and two unclean animals of each kind. I have no clue what the author meant by “unclean animal”.
Can we get one about Islam?
Something that I would like to mention, while it's a very small thing, some of the added details of the old testament stories (at least those that don't come from movies, Dante, or Milton), came from the Tanakh, which is a book of commentaries written by Rabbis from the past, much of which expands on some of the stories, or extrapolates certain details (kind of like the Lilith thing you mentioned, which I believe may be mentioned in there), as well as the Talmud and the Midrash. People tend to believe that the Torah/Bible is the only place that these stories come from, but the a huge number of them come from these other sources. The only small issue is that these sources are not as well known, so the average person cannot distinguish between additional information from there or from pop culture
Moses is just more memorable tbh
Before starting the video I’m assuming it’s about paradise lost
At least until 6:55
Close!
I love your on-point references
2:18 Don't say you like the anime if you haven't read the manga.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Hell blind boy or do a 180 and take your next right on Damaskus.
Thanks for using the Bible as an actual source on these. So many "Bible Stories DEBUNKED!" videos and shows don't even have a Bible in frame, but you quoted from the actual text. Which made me quite happy.
The reason we think it's an apple is because the old English word for "fruit" is where we get the English word for "apple," so the first English translation of Genesis calls the fruit an apple (surprised he didn't explain that)
Using the NIV, you filthy heretics. Obviously the Latin Vulgate should be the only source
Lol is that remy lacroix
Ok, there's a lot of good, useful info and stuff in your video, but for the record: (1) Sending out birds to see if the water had receded IS in the biblical narrative. (2) Much more importantly, at 27:16 you state that "it wasn't until Christianity came along that God became the one and only." This is simply wrong. Even on the most academically skeptical understanding, by the time of the latter part of the book of Isaiah (at the latest), known as Second Isaiah (c. late 6th century BCE), we see indisputable monotheistic belief expressed. (See Isaiah, chapter 45, and also note, e.g., Deuteronomy 4, verses 35, 39.)
Thank u for existing. Your videos are great. "I am the senate!"

Wait, so Satan is literally “The Bad Guy”?
grew up in church and was taught the stories no additives even when simplified for kids. there are still plenty of Christans who read and base their beliefs and actions on the teachings of the bible, and aren't just lemmings
I see it as a very sad story about how the western society descended from a balanced garden of prosperity for all (as in natural bounty), into a desolation of suffering due to an insatiable greed for money and power. I always thought adam and eve story was a metaphor for the transition of Civilization from living with the Earth to one of subjugating it and coveting the natural bounty available when living in balance with nature. Eve wants what she cannot have, then she and Adam are filled with the knowledge of how to accumulate more than is needed to satiate their thirst for more. The result is that they no longer live in a paradise with plenty for all, with their new power they essentially curse the people of the Earth to a life of servitude in order to keep a surplus of goods that they want. The men are cursed to work the ground (farming) and the women the pain of child birth ( increasing population for workforce). The loss of satisfaction to the destruction of greed.
I like how the skillshare promo was only one second long.
"I'm gonna make my own haeven! With blackjack and hookers!"
why is jesus white?
Also remember that the story of Noah is really just a ripoff of a small section of the epic of Gilgamesh which, in turn, was ripped off from the Epic of Atrahasis.
Knock knock. Its demonitisation
Huh will its not only christians, every single thing he said i used to believe as a kid... as a muslim
It is generally accepted that God's use of the plural 'us', is simply him talking to himself. Most commonly, Christians see it in reference to the Trinity - as the Trinity is basically 'God in three persons'. People will usually explain it using an egg or a clover as a comparison. Three parts of a singular whole. The 'have no other gods but me' commandment doesn't mean there are more than one god/deity. The 'other gods' is in reference to the worship of false deities, graven images, idols, money, superstars, etc. - 'worship' occurs when you place something or someone above (or equal to) God. Most people don't use the 'Lilith interpretation' of the two 'God created man' phrases in Genesis. She was likely the result of misinterpretation by Christian priests who, while probably well-meaning, weren't guaranteed to have the best grasp on a text that was translated into a dead language that only the clergy could learn. As a result, belief in her very existence eventually started to decline - until people forgot her original purpose in the biblical narrative. Now, the popular interpretation is that the author of Genesis was simply back-tracking (or something similar). Keep in mind, the Bible has gone through many translations which have, over the years, resulted in many different versions. The King James version, for example, was commissioned by King James to make himself look good in the eyes of the church (he had done some shady stuff) - as such, it puts more emphasis on fancy language and grand promises. It was not the first version of the Bible, nor the first version in English, nor the most accurate (I personally know someone who claims otherwise). The debates over which version or interpretation is most accurate are still on-going - and are *mostly* irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. All in all, I'm glad that you made this video. You're one of the few people I've seen discuss the 'religious fanfic' topic (and you're the only one I've seen address that horribly inaccurate Noah movie - the one with the stone demons). I've seen people attempting to have serious discussions use stuff they heard in a TV show, (non-religious text) book, or anime as a solid argument.
you sound a lot like my catholic english teacher
Just too funny. I grew up in 1950's Ireland, where the whole eve eating snake stuff was taken literally. Aaah I remember the terrifying old days, when a child could look up and see a man hanging on a stick :-) And now I am departing this earth because I can no longer breathe in for laughing :-) Thanks for the usual excellent standard :-)
26:06 I believe God there is referring to the Jesus and the Holy Spirit (bringing back the idea of the Trinity) and he could of also been talking to the angels and other heavenly beings. I don’t think it was the “lesser gods” you mentioned
I think it comes from the Mesopotamian myth where he gods created men to toil for them. The bible put a moral element into it.
To date, Bayonetta is the most accurate representation of the angelic host in pop culture.
"A-a-Ron" I understood that reference
If there was anyone who made me want to actually read the bible, it's you. I just... Satan started the first democracy ever, I ... wow.
I checked and I couldn't find an r34 of it
YouTube has the dumbest commercials !!
Yeah. That two of each animal thing? Well that was Genesis 6. In Genesis 7 God, as he so often does, gets a little more nitpicky: 2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; Yep. And to be clear, that's not seven animals. That's seven pairs "the male and the female". I'm not sure why most people miss that small detail. I guess biblical apologists would like to minimize that number because it makes the whole nightmare of animal husbandry on the Ark seem slightly less unbelievable.
I take it you do not believe in God, or have Faith @ all. The creativity and flair you use is pretty cool, as always the manner in which you do it is obviously 100% blasphemous, I know some will say it’s ok to do it the way you do and still believe, Any true Christian will tell you Gods word is Gods word and constantly relaxing on the interpretation of his word is getting ridiculous. There is 1 word, 1 Bible period, In the end when you stand before God all the blasphemy and excuses will not cut it. Again the creativity is kinda cool.
I was so confused when I heard Atlas Pro's voice all of a sudden
Man, Evangelion is wild
Who new that halo was so great the bible was based of it
Yeah except that was part of the fanfic part. If there is anything wrong with this video it's that he didn't make it clear enough which parts are from Paradise lost and which is actually from the Bible. The Bible never mentions Satan starting a democracy in hell.
Why would apples taste like raw potatoes forever and then suddenly taste like ... apples? Otherwise, love the video.
The Ravens and dove are mentioned in the story of Noah. Not sure about the people not believing him.
I thought the fruit was a quince
Pretty sure the birds thing does happen in that story.
The berenstein universe i get it lol
Ancient gods were not all necessarily immortal. The Olympians had their Ambrosia to maintain them in customary vigor, the Hindu Devas had their Amrita - and the gods of the Canaanite pantheon, the Elohim, had the Fruit of the Tree of Life (Eternal Youth). The asatan was, no doubt, your standard (often shape-shifting) trickster deity of many mythological narratives (e.g., Loki, Prometheus, Huēhuecoyōtl, et al). It is no mere coincidence that, in this case, he takes on the form of a snake. The woman's subsequent punishment speaks to a "knowledge" involving a bit more than the mere nibble of some fruit. And, furthermore, It is only then that the adam gives the woman a name: Eve, "because she was the mother of all living". That the serpent is cursed to live out its days in a prone position would indicate, not so much that it had legs (as is usually imagined) but that it approached the woman in an upright position - the man, after all, being right beside her even as she was being "tempted".
So the Thrones description is basically the description of a gyroscope "wheels within wheels".
An interesting aside about demons: it's a derivative of a Greek word, 'daimon,' but the Greeks (who had no trouble personifying notions) didn't ordinarily think of demons (daimonia) as beings but rather as incorporate spirits much closer to what we describe in English as emotions or moods. And they weren't all evil; the first toast (libation) at a symposium was to eudaimonia, to "good spirits." A demon - an emotion - could seize control of a man or a crowd. And should all the demons seize a man or a crowd simultaneously only utter confusion could result: "pan-demonium," that is, all the daimons together at once...
rereading my comment: "only utter confusion could result:" should have said, "only utter chaos could result..."
At about 5:00 minute in: "None of that is in here." Actually the part about the birds is. (See Genesis 8:6-12) It had to be there, as the story is borrowed from Gilgamesh (with some minor re-writes), which also had the birds part...
Didn't "apple" start out as "appel" and referred to various fruits?
Around the 5 minute mark, you say Noah don't send out birds, but Genesis 8:16-21 has him send out a raven, a dove, and then the dove again. Like, yeah, Noah's flood is super short and people like Ken Ham have made tons of additions. There's a literal ark in where they explain how the poop was taken care of and have dinosaurs and composite animals (because they claim evolution isn't happening except when they need to explain how the 2 "dogs" became wolves, foxes, coyotes, dogs, and other things in the "dog kind" post flood).
Zoroastrianism is still a religion albeit a very minor one practiced in some parts of Iran and India. Most fled Islamic persecution in Iran and moved to India where there are still some today known as Parsis. I met one once actually and there's a couple of Zoroastrian fire temples in the US.
Douglas Phillips if we take away the fluff and mysticism from the biblical god, i think we could boil a “god” down to one specific ability. The ability to change the world with only the spoken word. Such as when he speaks the world into existence. This correlates a lot with the early Roman cult of Caesar, where Caesar was viewed as a deity. In this sense mankind would definitely be seen as existing only to toil for the gods. The moral element the bible adds reinforces the idea that this is the preordained purpose of life, keeping mankind forever as slaves to the insatiable greed for money and power of the few that exploit the narrative.
5:02 would have to check the rest but at least the part with the ravens to find dry land does occur in the Lutheran translation of the bible. In the original from 1512 as well as in the modern 1912 translation. So for the Germans: Nach vierzig Tagen tat Noah das Fenster auf an dem Kasten, das er gemacht hatte, und ließ einen Raben ausfliegen; der flog immer hin und wieder her, bis das Gewässer vertrocknete auf Erden. [...] I also found it in the English Standard Version of the bible. At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. PS: I love your dedication to costumes
Where does you stand politically?
*begins writing comments in anger* *realizes that nothing that i believe was undone, but just disproving random things*
Satan is just a retcon
At minute 3 he says let's take a look at the original... Official Bible... The King James version ... I think he is wrong on this the King James version is not the original Bible... It was put together around 1200 ad and a lot of books were removed from it... the Catholic Bible is the original bible..... all Protestants please don't get mad at me it's just a historical fact
OMG 19:29, is that Remy Lacroix?
Fun fact: John Carradine played Aaron, who was the father David Carradine (Kill Bill, Kung Fu) , Keith Carradine, and Robert Carradine (Revenge of the Nerds, Lizzie McGuire)
I think The Trinity is pretty easy to explain.
Great Video man! Love the comedy and appreciate the research you done. I can tell you put good thought into this, and as far as I’m concerned, you just earned a subscriber. I’m a seminary student for divination and preaching. I’d like you to try studying the original Hebrew, besides the NIV, for the Old Testament; And the LXX for the New Testament. You might come to a different realization. Like a “Slave” comment you made in another video! Or explaining Genesis 1, apparently stating Adam and Eve were created at the same time. Love your Videos man, and keep up the great work! God Bless!
5:21 *holds up an apple* you probably know what i'm gonna say about this me: "AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY" *talking about the forbidden fruit of paradise* me: "oh."
Just the normal religious propaganda garbage.
Lol Jesus says "NO ONE CAN EXPLAINED TRINITY" Yeah sure because trinity is a PERFECT BULLSH*T
Great video...but, Noah did send out a dove (Gen 8:8), so....
Pssss: Love ferrits!
Pss...s: Why are you using non-biblical literature in this video?? Christian's don't treat them as truth. #Blasphemy? Lol
Pss: "That's true"
Ps: you make a good angel
There are some versions that say the "fruit" wasn't a fruit but the roots of the tree.
Wait apples used to tste like rae potatoes? So thats why in some european languages potatoe translates into "ground apple"
Wasn't Zoroastrianism as a major religion ended by the spread of Islam into Persia, not Christianity?
The forbidden fruit is a metaphor representing... yuh-know. (whispers) doin' it.
You: *airhorn* Me: *giggle*
"Lucifer was gods favorite angel .. or at least he was.."
Hey. Love the video. But two things. 1. The king James Bible is far from the original. As a Jew it's a bit upsetting to hear that. The Tanach (Tanaka) meaning Torah, Neviem, and Ketuvim is the original. The five books Moses, known as the Torah, and written in biblical Hebrew, is what the king James is based on. Any translation, especially from non Jewish sources, are not the original and tend to serve a purpose of showing Jesus in the "old testament". To us Jews it's is the only testament. And in many cases our "translation" differ alot. I would suggest anyone really interested to order a Hebrew biblical book from Artscroll press to get the original words of the Bible. 2. The story of the birds in Noah very much did happen. I find it odd you make that mistake yet you say verses meaning you most likely knew it was there. 3. Angels and demons don't exist in anyway as you described in the original , Jewish, biblical story. Every single "angel" is just a pure messenger and purely under god. There is no devil and no angel can rebel against god. And no angel did. There is no hell. Just heaven with different stages. No eternal damnation or any of that. All these are add Christan things. Added thousands of years later. 4. You can not have been more wrong about god in Judaism. Again this makes it seem you did not read the source material. The ten commandments are very clear that God is the only and single god according to judasim. Judasim not being evangelicals does not mean they except the other gods exist. When God says "we" or "like us" it is only figures of speech. This is simply obvious when again taking into account the ten commandments and many other times. God being jealous or having a hand are again terms of speech. God is talking to people and uses speech the way people talk. Ba'al is clearly shown as fake by Elijah in Kings. Why did u leave that out? He's not excepted as a god. Elijah specifically says he is fake. As does Daniel. As does Abraham and as does moeses. Judasim is, in all ways and always was monotheistic. I know this isn't a difference between all bibles. But I really stress people look into biblical judasim for.... The original.
how do you feel about john dee's enochian name for satan, choronzon?
Hey, does that mean the snake had legs before he was punished by God? So it was... a lizard?
4:58 Genesis 8:8-11 "Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the Ark. He waited seven more days and sent the dove out and again sent the dove from the ark. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth."
I always saw Genesis 1:27 as kind of an introduction or overview. As if it was a summary of what's about to happen. Then in chapter 2, that's the actual story.
So this is where diablo 2 came from

Bruh i dont even mind the ad near the end.
Bruh you have a ferret?? And you gave it a cat tree?? Im dedd. Thats simply great.
"Not from a Jedi...."
Yet another reason to love this channel...
The book, WRITTEN BY GOD HIMSELF, is a marvel and interesting as you say it is. One of the best known stories, "the one of you without sin, shall cast the first stone"... suddenly appears in the 10th century. The story wasn't in john and the bible before. But it is a great story that teaches values. Have a look at Bart D Ehrmann. He has awesome clips about the Bible and its history
It not written by God though. Why would God write about himself in the third person?
Choronzon sounds like the name of a Pokemon.
A dinosaur perhaps?
Greek and Hebrew were the original languages of the bible. Sheol and hades (hell) are literally translated as grave. Modern Christianity, has it all wrong.

You done messed up, A-A Ron!
Actually the source of knowledge in Irish mythology is hazel nut's. From nine hazel trees at the pool source of the river Boyne.
the part about aaron's rod swallowing everyone elses' rods made me snort so hard i ended up choking so yknow thanks for almost killing me, mr. god.
Me: Non religious Me seeing how fine some of the angels look: *FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD*
"Satan has some ultimate purpose in God's divine plan, and his evil is necessary to fulfill that goal--just as Skillshare can serve a purpose in fulfilling your goals..." *Umm... Skillshare is on the phone. It's for you.
I have heard, and Arabic-speakers, please bear with me on this, that the word "Satan" is derived from the Arabic "Shaitan', which means "whisperer". In other words, that anti-conscience sort of thing in your head that tells you to steal the cookies. Is that accurate?
Evangelicals in the United States are no different than the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The Noah's Arc story actually requires seven of each #kosher" animal for sacrifices...
So Aaron had a rod he called a snake? Perhaps he was done?
Was that a trigger warning for Christians?
Zoroastrianism is no longer a major religion due to the Muslim conquest of Iran ans the subsequent subjugation and murder of its believers, not due to any theological concerns.
10:23 anime angels ftw
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Talk about fanfiction gone wrong
22:00 lillith got thanos snapped don't worry about it
the bible originated in Hebrew and it's extremely difficult to translate Hebrew to English not counting the other languages. it was translated to Hebrew to Greek and then to Latin and then to french or German and then to English. so i think it would be more fair if you had a Hebrew bible and a fluent Hebrew speaker into the video to help.
Pp
Be careful when citing the King James Bible, as that can be a bit inaccurate to both the letter and the spirit of the original text. Also, be careful with the word canon when talking about Christianity. Dante's Divine Comedy influenced a lot of of how people interpret Christian myth, but they're not literally Canon. Also, isn't the whole thing with Paradise Lost that Lucifer was essentially lying to himself to make himself feel better (better to reign in Hell rather than to serve in Heaven and all that?), and he was still ultimately the antagonist?
I think the whole noahs ark thing was from the book of Enoch
You realize Lucifer isn't Satan's name right?, The name is only mentioned once and it was actually a reference to a Babylonian king right?
Milton wrote Paradise Lost while married, and when he divorced wrote Paradise Regained.
I don't get the point of this video. You spend a good portion of the first half talking about about Christian fiction to not be confused with biblical events then you spend the other half of the video doing just that...mixing Milton's version of events with biblical events
Yay you did do paradise lost!!
"...the official, original King James version..." I strongly encourage you to look into how the King James version was produced and why. The KJV is a synthesis of previous translations, with material that didn't meet "canon" excised from it -- most notably the Apocryphal books, which are still part of the Catholic bible. It would be nice to see a discussion of INCEST and the bible. It begins with Adam & Eve, then their two surviving sons having children with THEIR MOM. Eve was the only existing uterus in God's creation. Then every species in creation undergoes the same fate of incest when only two are gathered onto Noah's Ark. Abraham and Sarah who had the same father.
Lol this is literally just Israeli mythology. Even sounds just like Greek or Egyptian mythology.
damn eve was a bad bitch, i stan
Not sure what you mean about the sending the birds out becuaee the Bibke clearly states he sent birds out...did you read the source material?
There where sweet apple before the Red Delicious. The Romans and the Greeks have grown sweet apples a long time before the Red Deslicious. You saying it taste like dirt is wrong. And the apple tree may have been the earliest tree that humans cultivated.
"Innocence once lost can never be regained. Darkness once gazed upon can never be lost"

Malakhim means angles in modern Hebrew and emissaries in ancient hebrow
even within the flood narrative (and within the creation narrative), not even issues with different modern translations, there are (at least) two narratives that were redacted into one. Each of the two geogapic regions of Judaism had slightly different versions In an effort to unify the kingdown, especially during and after the captivity of the educated class in a Babylon and Persia, they redacted the two (or more) into one. With the flood narrative, it was neopaleolithic, bronze age and iron age people trying to explain plate tectonics. Who else would we get whale bones in the sainai and egypt, how else would we get seashells and the skeletons of fish on the tops of mountains.
Wooooooooooohhhhhhh
Me red Bibke. It good.
I sense that the A-Aron joke was because of Key and Peele
Eve's consequence to have painful childbirth is fitting. She ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Such knowledge requires a big brain, which means a big head, which is why human childbirth is painful. I find it remarkable that this particular truth is in such an ancient text.
The Holy Spirit is fire. The term goes way back.
That sudden red face was jarring
Not sure what you mean about the sending the birds out because the Bible clearly states he sent birds out...did you read the source material? Edit: after 10 minutes it is clear you haven't so I am out
@Youa Numbah Oneah Racist lol proofread like my teacher always said...edited
I respect your respect of others' beliefs, regardless of the sanity of such beliefs. The Bible is a retarded Jew tale to control the Goy, but that doesn't immediately mean that all believers are equally retarded. Why Jesus of Nazareth is used as the hero is beyond me, considering he's more important to Hindus than to Christians...whatever. Good on you for being fair.
Now I know where all those Yugioh names come from
Losing paradise response - 1:04- no climaxes - each event in the first 12 chapters of genesis has a climax, the flood story with the flood, the tower with everyone being displaced, and all throughout genesis there are tiny climax’s with wether or not the people will be able to to win battles and then the big one of getting into the promised land, so right from the first book of the Bible this statement is wrong 1:06 - No character development- after genesis 12 character development is the main priority, it’s all about how God uses people that don’t deserve to be used and blesses their life, so again, right from the first book of the Bible this statement is wrong 1:21 - you don’t have to change certain aspects of the story in order to make it interesting to children, to do so is heresy and no evangelical church would promote such behavior, often times what happens is a deeper dive into the context of the story or they turn it into a skit, there’s no need to change it 1:55 - People assuming that Moses did it dosnt mean they weren’t told that Aaron did, if you read through it yourself and were asked a year later you would probably still say Moses, exodus is set up in a way that makes Moses the main human character so it’s natural to assume he did most of the stuff, even if taught differently. And films committing heresy and changing things is just what they do, Hollywood sucks when it comes to anything, even the stuff they do great at normally miss things so not really gonna argue there 2:52 - did this man just say that in order to check the original text we should look at king James? Like there was the actual original texts before that and if you wanted to actually see if it was originally there you look at the Hebrew which is extremely easy to do now, for example Logos bible Software or any word commentary 4:38 - Hollywood committing heresy is a lot different than children being told it in Sunday school just because they need to be entertained by it 4:57 - while these arnt explicitly said they can be generally assumed and don’t really go against the text, the people were corrupt so they probably did not think highly of the man building a large boat due to orders from God. Family probably shouldn’t be assumed however since they seem pretty alright based on the text. And didn’t birds get sent out after the flood? - “After 40 days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark. He sent a raven out. It kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.” Genesis 8:6-7 NIRV. So uh yeah, this is weird for him to have missed. 5:06 - after him missing the birds this seems rather ironic as it’s something he just did 6:11 - this seems more like him trying to be entertaining than anything else but the apple likely happened just because it’s a memorable fruit that is often found on trees so why not? A fruit is a fruit so normally picturing an apple is seen as merely symbolic of the fruit rather than the literal interpretation. 9:19 - this was mentioned alittle but earlier but didn’t find importance till now - Dante’s inferno is in no way how hell actually is based on biblical evidence and it dosnt really try to be, similarly I assume, having never read it by it being very similar to inferno, losing paradise is loosely based on the Bible but primarily a policial commentary. 10:08 - personally I think it’s lady not to have the verses where this information comes from on screen, however pretty sure it’s revelation or one of the major prophets, maybe Daniel or Elijah/Elisha 17:23 - this is more a commentary on paradise lost but basically Adam was likely with eve when the serpent came to talk to her, which was not in a dream. I’m commenting on this and not the whole hell thing because it has more biblical basis so could actually mess people up 19:48 - the work is taking care of the garden and the animals which actually has a deep theological meaning behind it but oh well I guess ignorance was okay as well 22:22 - so I’ve actually read a legit defense against in the moody bible commentary on genesis so I’m just gonna do my best to restate it, but basically genesis 1 is more of a overview and then genesis 2 just goes into detail of how it happened, so it’s literally just a change in perspective, from things being made into how they were made. The commentary goes into more detail than that so if still confused just ask. 22:36 - anything about Lilith would have to be people putting into the text something that wasn’t originally there 24:42 - to the prophecy’s spoken here actually have a much deeper meaning than what’s being said. First, Gods words to satan are of judgement, being from condemnation, while to Adam and Eve they are chastisement, proceeding from love. The serpent being on its belly symbolized complete defeat and “absolute diminution of life”. The first part of v.14 means that when the effects of the fall will be lifted the serpent will still be cursed(Is 65:25, basically explains it a little better but says the same thing). v.15 - first prediction concerning the work of the messiah - protevangelium literally means “the first gospel” as it’s the first passage to refer to the final victory of the messiah and also to his death. 3:16 - this is actually the part about male dominance which is not as “knowing better” says - prefall was the way things were meant to be, they were meant to be equal, however, “you will long after your husband and he will rule over you” is a “antithetical parallelism” revering how the woman will want to dominate and control her husband and the man will seek mastery and control over the woman. Pre fall the male was to be the leader but after the fall this leadership became vexing for the woman. 3:17-19 - God held Adam most responsible for the sin, Adams chastisement was near identical to Eve’s, having both a psychological component and a physical one where the same word for pain that is used in Eve’s is also used for Adam. 26:11 - before getting into the horrible theology that’s about to happen I’m gonna make a comment on them being kicked out - basically death was a mercy granted to them due to how the earth was no longer the way it was they could not have communion with God the way God wanted it to be so in order for that relationship to be restored they would have to go to heaven, which is perfect, so basically not eating from the tree of life is a good thing, not a bad thing 26:52 - the “us” in the passage refers to the trinity, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are established in Genesis 1. As far as how the other people turned their staffs into snakes, witchcraft is a thing. God has always been the one and only, the plagues on the Egyptians proved the point that Egypt believed in puny false Gods who didn’t have the power of the actual God. Elijah does a similar thing with calling fire down to light up his altar as the other people frantically cut themselves and have no response. So yeah, if one wanted to make any argument for there many God’s in the Bible they would need to not use this passage as their basis and provide actual scriptural evidence which he dosnt do. Along with this, if God refers to himself as plural that has always been taken to refer to the trinity. Deut. 6 is another great example of it being monotheistic with “the shema” which says they will be devoted to “the Lord our God, the Lord alone”.
Your tangent about the Apple in the Adam and Eve story is most certainly wrong actually. In the version of English that the King James Bible used, the word 'Apple' was just used to describe any fruit as a general term, hence fruit such as 'Pineapple' are called that despite not actually resembling an apple at all. This is more evident in old and middle English also: Oranges were originally called Chinese Apples and Peaches were called Persian Apples. The English version of the Bible was probably just mentioning that Eve ate fruit from a tree in general without mentioning the variety.
"That's true" about got a spit take.
KB Don't perpetuate the historical myth that clean fresh water was not available. It's just the kind of thing you normally speak out against.
You need to retune your Troll-o-tron it's tipped over into silly mode
I want epic paintings of all the different kinds of angels. The cartoons are cool, but this needs more seriousness.
10:11 well, evangelio. was't that far from the Bible un their depiction of angels
You sure twisted things up. Yeah you'll confuse people who are not real Christians. Just because one says he or she is a Christian doesn't mean squat. That's what the scriptures refer to as casting pearls unto swine. Pearls being the word of God and the swine are the mockers.
Honestly I don’t blame Eve for the downfall of humanity. She was duped by the snake. Her only “crime” was stupidity. The entire blame lies with Adam. He was the one specifically told by God not to eat from that tree. But what does he do? Listen to the idiot woman...
27:17 monotheism emerged among scholars and scribes around the time of the Babylonian exile, not the time of Christianity.
A lot of what you saw in the movie Noah came from the Apocrypha book Enoch, I would look into its fascinating (coming from a Christian)
Those Ian McDiarmid references shoehorned in are slaying me XD
The original King James version...of the Old Testament. I mean, I suppose it is the original King James version, but it ain't the original version lol
Knowing Better, I don't usually comment, but your videos are amazing. This by far my best youtube channel. Stay awesome!!
That's true. In the Septuagint (the first Greek version of the Bible, from which KJV was translated) the word "καρπός" is used and it means fruit in general. It could have been an apple, an orange, a chestnut, an almond or whatever comes from a tree.
I like how he used a pic Remy Lacroix as eve. Lol
The story with Eve being a replacement doesn't really make sense... In the same story of Eve's creation it is also mentioned that man was God's first creation and everything else was created after...
I think you’re taking some of the stuff written too literally. When god says he’s jealous it probably just means that nothing should take priority over God in your life.
You say that it was only with Christianity that Judaism transitioned to monotheism. In fact it was long before Christianity that the Hebrews transitioned from polytheism to monotheism. You're right that the old testament mentions other gods (like Ba'al or Asherah), but the concept that God (i.e. Yahweh) is not only the primary deity but is the only deity long predates Christianity, possibly occurring during the Babylonian exile.
Stafs, rods, snakes eating snakes... you know what I'm getting at. I think them men locked in that secret meating place were up to nooo goood
How could you resist making all them parallels to LoTR?
And don't make fun of my name.
Funny how god knew how hard to convince a scam victim they've been scammed and to go straight to the Adam... Psychology is devine art after all o.O
NU man soyboy lol
I was subbed to you for a while but this was the video that made me unsub. It's funny how when you talk trash about something that someone loves for a half hour, they just don't wanna hear what you have to say anymore.
It’s ok. It’s only anti-Irish stereotyping and racism about a famine where an entire race was nearly purged from existence and a massive diaspora was created by sailing from the death in the homeland on things called coffin ships only to get to places like the United States where, they were at Civil War and, they put a rifle or musket in the “Paddy’s” hands and sent him off North and South as cannon fodder. Well... I suppose it beat watching your wife and kids starve due to the blight of your crop. It’s alright though. We rose up and ascended in society by fighting the hostility, charming the rest, and loving the land. We had one of our own sworn in as President in roughly one century. They had to murder him before he brought about peace and prosperity with a party and looked great doing it. Not sure why this stereotype hasn’t been scrubbed from existence for the tragic legacy of the potato blight and the Torries who damned their vanquished tenants by ignoring them wholesale. Then there were the Know Nothings and Whigs in the new lands of America. There was the curse of whiskey. The bottle to wash the sorrows of dead children and a hard life. What do I know. I’m only 3rd generation of a family who survived the Gorta Mor but, were forced to leave after the original Troubles and the Black & Tans who’d come through and sliced off my great great aunts tits trying to get info on where her brother was hiding out. That brother was my great grandfather and he was on his way to America where the shops all read, “No Irish, No Dogs” or “Irish Need Not Apply”. He came and he had five beautiful children with a tough and loving wife. He was a musician by trade but, where no jobs for him, his race or his Roman Catholic religion existed, he became a pugilist. Seems that then was a time where they wouldn’t let you work but, they let you bash your brethren’s brains in withtje fury of your fists and the fire of your footwork. My great grandfather died when my grandfather was 11 years old. It was during the Great Depression. My Grandfather and his brother would learn the game of golf caddying for the WASP English Americans who wouldn’t allow them to join their clubs or play their game. Eventually the PWC of Roosevelt and Donald Ross has designed public courses and, they both would later become scratch golfers, amateur champions and, my great Uncle Tom would become the course professional at that course built by the PWC and designed by Donald Ross. My grandfather would go on to launch an entrepreneurial venture and a successful small business with little more than the gift of gab. My father was born the fifth of eight total children. He would work for my grandfather. I was born the second child of five. I would go on to work for my father in that same business. I’m now a father and, my son carries the blood of his Irish forebears and, he will learn that there was much tragedy and only more perseverance that provided for a happier continuation. It is said that my family would celebrate the opening of an envelope. Life is beautiful and joyful. There has been tremendous hardship to overcome and if you want to know what the Irish ate during an Gorta Mor, it obviously wasn’t the potato. They ate “famine food” things like seaweed and lichen scraped off of rocks, shoe leather, glue from the bindings of any available books, seagulls, rats, garbage scraps, anything the Church threw out. Some dark whispers of cannibalism were always shunned at the thought of. It wasn’t documented but, it likely did occur in hushed secretive recesses. What little corn came over that didn’t rot in English ports and American store houses, the Irish ate until it was all taken away by a cruel Torrey govt that wanted to kill Catholic tenants whom they saw as less than human. One thing that was more prevalent than any other though, as the stench of the dead overwhelmed the roads and the countryside in the brutal Irish winter of 1847 were the grass eaters. Their green mouths agape upon their wretched corpses. Mothers and infants with the green grass stained drool. Imagine that sight. The shoeless dead who broke stone for the roads for basic malnutrition level subsistence lived but, all wished they were dead when they were forced to take from the English who beat and basically tortured them with these road building efforts. Nothing comes free to the Taig is what the English would say. Pretty brutal but, hey... six pack and a spud... Irish thanksgiving ... derp. Any one of us ought to split your wig. Lol. Jk. Wanted to drop a little knowledge the charmin’ way. The way of the Irish. I tend to like the good humor even if I would rather the true tales of brutality be told. Occupation and conquest still occur today in Palestine by way of Israel. In Yemen by way of the Saudis. Both are funded and aided by the U. S. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
Zoroastrianism didnt fail to Christianity but to islam. Do not lie to your audience
damn, getting into the christian deep lore
The idea of an apple actually comes from the latin translation. In latin the word "malum" can mean both apple and bad. Yup, that is an ancient pun!
So the "Powers" are Roundworld's Auditors?
I just looked it up... why is that Jesus account actually a thing? I can't tell whether it's owner/operator is an atheist or an incredibly bold Christian, but regardless... respect.
I for some reason knew at a deeper level that it was Aaron's staff (maybe at some point I read the text as written? No, that couldn't have been; heaven forb*blasphemy* me to read the text for myself!... I'm sorry I had to make the blasphemy joke)... but despite knowing that, the narrative I was taught at a young age dominates.
oh hey, someone else sponsored by skill share. Love that site! I'm trying to think who else it was that was sponsored by them and led me to create an account... I want to say it was OverSimplified, after watching his videos "oversimplifying" WW2??

when I see the word staffs I fucking cringe... nobody has ever heard of staves I guess.
Zoroastrianism is no longer a major religion because the moslems wiped them out. The Byzantine empire had a number of wars with the Zoroastrian Persians before the moslems came around - and none over religion.
I've got to 33 seconds, and inconsistency / hypocrisy / intellectual dishonesty was already on display. "It's not a takedown of Christian beliefs ... I don't want to take anything from you ... but you're wrong. " Uh-huh...
Naw, Moses' staff didn't turn into a snake, it turned into a legless lizard, obviously (legless lizards are real, just not native to Africa/ the middle east, to my knowledge, fyi)
@02:55: "the official, original King James **VERSION**...." - Really??
This is a pretty cool story.
Its called the Tree of the Knowledge of GOOD and EVIL. NOT knowledge in general.
A-Aron!!!
We want the bible 2 (or bible 3 if you consider the new testament as the bible 2)
20:45 XD
Satan, the asatan of the OT, bears all the earmarks of the trickster deity (e.g., Loki, Prometheus, Huehuecoyotl, et al.) of the Canaanite pantheon. In Genesis, he gives the lie to Yahweh's threat of instant death should the adam so much as touch the Tree of Knowledge. Evidently, the Creator's plan was to secure himself a permanent gardening staff of one by allowing the man access to the gods' own Tree of Immortality (Eternal Youth) while maintaining him in perpetual innocence (infantile ignorance) by forbidding him to take also of their Tree of Knowledge. In Job, the asatan tricks the boastful Yahweh into allowing him to torture the deity's most faithful servant - ultimately fleeing the scene and abandoning him to face the righteous Job waiting in expectation of justice (Jb 19:25). The liar of Genesis does not disappoint: "I'm bigger than you are, so STFU."
That devil makeup looks hellishly uncomfortable.
I have never seen a better depiction of Satan. It was makeup, wasn't it? Enjoyed the interjection of humor in your story telling.
"Original KJV" ooof
G-d in the bible is one God "hear oh israel Hashem is our G-d he is one"
beelezebub is not a seperate entinty or satan he is a god of a foregign nation that G-d chastises a Judean king for praying to at the end of his life see kings 2
many of these are stories that were "emblished" in the movies were sourced in midrashim ancient Jewish sources that made up stories to teach lessons.
Fascinating, love it! I understand now where the myth of Lilith came from starting around 21:47. I've always understood Genesis 1 to be an overview and Genesis 2 then goes on to explain the human creation bit in more detail. "...in the image of God He created them, male and {eventually} female." Now that we've got that explanation out of the way, here's more. Chapter 2, let's go explore that human thing a bit.
Ok, random but that passage reminded me of my Torah portion (basicly instructions for the tabernacle) for my Batmizva and I remember just slamming m had on the book repeatedly at lest Ikia uses modern metrics.
Fun fact, “סתן” (pronounced as satan but with long “a” sounds; “sah-tahn”) very much is a thing in Judaism... I know he already said this but hey, gotta flex my (probably misspelled and otherwise horrible) Hebrew
I don't remember there being called rings of heaven in the bible
Apple is ancient Gaelic for fruit.
God says "like one of US" because God is Trinity, three in One, God is an us, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And I think him kicking them out of the garden and keeping them from the tree of life was actually kind, I for sure don't want to live in this world forever, way too much suffering for that.
That was really good video I really wash you do one about Islam
But when did NERV form and what exactly is an AT field!?
I hate to bring this up, but isn't the image brought up at 19:30 to depict Eve a porn actress?
One of my favorite book.

Hearing you call someone a “twink studmuffin” just killed me
This is where protestantism comes from. The Catholic church during Martin Luther's time used Christianity as a business and caused the crusades as well as telling people to buy a piece of paper that guarantees you an entrance to heaven. So protestantism just brought people back to what Christianity was all about.
Hm. Hell is a democracy, Satan is a handsome dude with a British accent and according to those Christians who see the likes of me in hell, hell is filled with scientists, engineers and pornstars - so they have good debates, WiFi and air conditioning sorted and yeah endless sexparties... That and according to some hell is cooler than heaven anyway... I increasingly fail to see the negative side in this arrangement...
The story sounds like as if 'Pharaoh' was a name. As in 'pharaoh said', 'pharaoh did' etc that's strange....
Holy cow, only 9% got Aaron right? Can you specify again, how were the candidate pool for that quiz? Mostly American only or evenly distributed worldwide? Thanks a bunch... XD I used to get that wrong too, what with Dreamwork's propaganda, cough cough, i mean, artistic masterpiece "Prince of Egypt" and the like pumping stuffs into 7,8 years old brain for decades. Turns out lots of "religious" people don't actually read the Bible like, at all. They just keep parapeting stuffs they were told. Finest example of NPCs mentality, really..... :v
Eve's a bimbo... Who'd a thunk it? :3
"Imagine that, Hell is a democracy..." There's political commentary in there somewhere, but let's just leave it at what it might be. :3
"... assuming that Adam and Eve weren't Irish..." You do not want to open Pandora's box here, pal. Seriously, don't mention Ireland when talking about ancient scripture, i shit you not, there's a story there people are not ready for. :'D
The Moses one is tricky because actually Moses is the first one to throw his staff when he first meets God. But Aaron is the one who threw it in front of Pharaoh.
@15:56 incredible selection of media sources to create just a 2 second asset. Way to go!
While it would probably be considered blasphemous, and no people would take it seriously if it happened today; seeing as to how accepted the contents of "The Divine Comedy" and "Paradise Lost" have become in christian dogma, it wouldn't really be that unpresidented to add them to the 66 books already making up the Bible.
#satandidnothingingwrong
Its my dude JESUS!
It was seven animals actually
“-Build an Ark-“ *shows the Ark from Halo* I see you are a man of culture as well
are you the son of god or just god? Jesus: Y E S
How much did you spend on costuming?
Took way too long to find the Evangelion reference. I started thinking about it as soon as he brought up Lilith and the Trees of Knowledge and Life.
Why do I imagine Sin and Death as elementary school pranksters? "Yo bro, we cant close the gate right?" "Mhm.." "You know what that means?" "That, if we would build a big bridge, we could turn earth into our personal funland and no one could close the door on us?" "Yes.. that.."
Thank you for having atlas pro be included in this video as he a good quality youtuber and needs all the money he can get
I like raw potatoes. Slice the skin and how ya doing. Like eating a chip that has not been baked
Satan _is_ known as a god in Christianity though, he is called “the god of this world” by the New Testament, signifying him as the god that the world worships in contradistinction to the “True God” of the Jews and then Christians, so not much has really changed. The Bible is monolatristic, but the lesser gods are all held to be created by the greater “God.”
well thank god the quran never got altered in anyway nor did the hadith. the bible has many... problems
In the original hebrew version, aaron's stick became an alligator, not a serpent. Also, there are four chapters dedicated to this story, depicting the pigeon, the olive tree branch and the rainbow.
That part about Zoroastrianism is so wrong it's mind-boggling. First off, yes, Zoroastrianism did exist contemporary to early Christianity... but it wasn't absorbed into it. Quite the contrary, Zoroastrianism and Christianity were competing and often very antagonistic faiths owing to the fact that their major states, Eastern Rome and The Empire of Iran, were major rivals. Zoroastrianism was the faith of the Persians and they held to it strongly, often times in the later Sassinid Dynasty persecuting minor faiths, including Christians, in places like Armenia to enforce the faith. Zoroastrianism didn't get absorbed into Christianity as part of some sort of conversion; again, couldn't be more wrong. Zoraestrianism fell when the Muslim, Arabic Empire rose up out of Arabia and wiped them out; up until the Arabic Conquest, Zoroastrianism was still going strong as a separate, major faith to Christianity that often opposed it and tried to convert members of its faith, and vice-versa. When the Muslims invaded though they did as they often did to conquered territories and either converted them or taxed them to the point where conversion was pretty much the only way to get ahead. I can't even begin to wonder where you got the idea that Christianity absorbed Zoroaster's faith but it really couldn't be more wrong. Which is unusual because this channel really does usually do its research.
When the devil came he was not red, he was chrome and he said...come with me.
The Moses thing... Mandela effect
Well, technically, Christianity brought Islam into existence.
i came here because i saw gandalf when i hovered my mouse over the icon of the video
11:58... what was that
i was trying to figure out where i’d heard the name morningstar from and realized i remembered it from fucking BEN 10
Fantastic video, just to nitpick, Baal ("Lord") is a title given to several semitic deities such as Baalzebub ("Lord of the Flies" - like the William Golding Novel). I believe it's the lamentations of Jeremiah that castigates the Isralites/Judeans for worshiping the Baals (plural).
26:05, no, they’re not other gods. It’s God speaking with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, as they’re three in one. And all the other “gods” mentioned in the bible are just different titles for the same god
All the Angel History is from Paradise Lost,, not the Bible
Zoroastrianism is not dead. I’ve met them. They are a minority religious group centered in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and far southern Kazakhstan. I met one who was a foreign student in California (Edit: in USA) from India.
BEWARE THIS IS MOSTLY GNOSTIC / NEW AGE DECEPTION AND MISINFORMATION
never seen so much ignorance in 1 video
why on earth does youtube recommend this dross to me? this channel is misnamed, it should be called " I should really grow up, I should know better'.
I love it you fucking put halo imagery for Noah’s story.
Great, now I got Christian ads on videos because I binged your Christian themed videos. Eh I'll take it
Apples tasted like dirt before 1893? Dude, what are you talking about? The apple is one of the oldest fruits if not the oldest cultivated by humans. E.g. the Akero is a sweet dessert apple cultivated in Scandinavia in the 15th century.
I love you man!
26:05 he’s probably talking about other beings like angles etc....but who knows, the term god feels loose on the bible. Or in your video
Ahahahahah
Yeh people who think Moses’s staff actually turned to a snake have no idea what symbolism is. The bible was translated from a language with a lot of symbolism in it
His brothers name is harun
I’am a Muslim and we believe are book is correct so you know don’t say that
1:45 did you get that from Key and Peele?
No, let me tell you Noah's story. Water in the bible and especially the Old Testament represents teachings and knowledge. Education. Water sustains life. Knowledge sustains life. So what we have in Noah's story is tiny bits of teachings and knowledge falling from heaven, from God to the earth and wiping out wicked mankind, but separating and raising up righteous Noah, depositing him on a mountain top.
"hell is democracy" Yes it is.
Okay, some more corrections
2:55 look, don’t bring up KJV. It is not a perfect translation, and the meaning of many words has shifted since then. E.g. how many of you think faith=belief? Edit: PS- faith was something given to guarantee a promise would be fulfilled. Think a “good faith effort”
damn you got the "us" part so wrong. Look up royal plurality please
Yeah I think we should never have sex To be pure of course
Well my whole life has been turned upside down by learning that there are other gods in the bible
its ok to subscribe to this honestly very stupid view of biblical henotheism, not that is entirely wrong, but seriously overexagerated, study the Cabbala fgs other than that the video completely fell from the horse at the end by claiming absurd misconceptions, like that Christianity erased henotheism and zoroastrianism, just no. minor mistake but painful to hear as that if youre so weell informed should have identified and corrected this by reviewing your script
Ezekiel 25:17 according to the King James Bible: And the Lord said "Ima pull up on ur block and let the 40 bang mf"
About the Trinity, that’s the thing about religion you just need to have faith...you can’t understand it (my opinion)
If you were a pastor I'd be in Church every Sunday. This is really good.
whats the actual intro song
Zoroastrianism faded with the Islamic conquests, not because of Christianity's influence. Zoroastrians and Christians were fighting eachother for centuries, The(eastern) Roman empire vs the Sassanid empire
Great work
I've watched this vid many times, but Eve as Remy cracks me up beyond belief.
Love this video.
11:18 ok.
When you take a wack off of the dmt pipe it’s eyeballs galore and sometimes I entertain the theories about the biblical authors being blasted on acacia smoke
23:00 "Sounds like that apple is laced with something if you ask me" My answer:Viagra maybe
Zoroastrianism still exists. I’m Zoroastrian
20:47 a snake with ears? wtf renascence
watching the first parts i was thinking that the added parts were inspired by islam ..... somewhere between the end of the islamic golden age and the renaissance european culture adopted alot from islam ... where the quran makes Aron a side charachter .. gives moses the staff and yeah features the bird from noah ... the quran is a bad and violant book in the parts where "ALLAH or mohammad" talk directly to readers and give commends .. but the story parts are really good
this video is ridiculously thought provoking. i haven't even finished it and i already have like 5 tabs with different terms and ideas to look up later
That satan makeup was surprising to say the least
For me, this is really entertaining. I can't describe how. KB is a very talented and funny guy!
The bible is a political book, not a reliable historical record in any way.
What i learned: Angels are either eldritch abominations or cute anime grills.
How does Noah's arc house all the animals in the world? Clearly it's a tesseract!
I thought the apple reference was towards the myth about Newton seeing an apple falling from a tree.
Wow the Islamic version is pretty different.
I like how God went specifically out of his way to make a tree that would fuck up Adam and Eve.
How many hours are you reading to know all this and be able to teach us??? Thank you for giving us knowlege so easy and you make all the hard work
fantastic
Lord baby jesus why did i not catch on till now...u got me scouring the old and new testament...ive been tricked ...never listen to interpretation ...i read the Garden of Eden years ago....it totally went against my religion but made sense....now more ....omgoodness
Lmao ...after 2 days of listening....uve gotta be married with kids by now , such intelligence should be passed on....
The king James version and "cannon" is the rest of the story you are missing. The rock monsters are part of the angels (noah the movie) hierarchy. The maccabee bible, the red sea scrolls, the lesser key of Solomon. The bible has been cut up alot over 4000 years
Why would a God let Lucifer act on Earth anyways? Like wtf man
You spend the first minutes of this video saying how silly all embellishments to Scripture are. Then you go over these ranks of angels that aren't anywhere in the bible. You may be going for an interesting video, but you don't really impress on the facts front.
Aaron and Moses probably become one character in movies so they don't have to hire one actor to act while the other equally important actor stands around.
A.A Ron? Was that a Key and Peele reference!?
If the Tree of Knowledge was covered in potatoes, Eve would have got me too.
Raw potatoes aren't that bad, they have a pretty unique taste.
Ian Mcdiarmid as Satan... Audible account reactivated!
I may be wrong, but isn't there a Jewish text somewhere that describes the forbidden fruit as teardrop shaped with juicy white meat? That would make it a pear, not an apple, fig, or pomegranate. I don't remember where I learned that though so again I could be completely wrong.
“We only know 4 names” So we’re just going to pretend the early church didn’t consider the book of Enoch canonical, then?
So God let's Satan exist, but for a bunch of Christians letting lgbt+ people exist is just too much. Cool.
Anime drawings of Angels. I see you are a man of culture as well
0:59 I mean, the Bible wasn’t made until 323 ad. The makers basically had to stitch multiple different books and writings centuries apart and form a cohesive narrative. That’s not easy to do.
12:17 Lucifer was gods favorite angel-or at least he was. What is that sentence.
One of the Bible contradictions 1 chapter says a pair of animals. Another chapter says a pair of unclean animals and 7 pairs of clean animals
My boy Anjra Mainyu getting a shoutout. Avenger ftw
It doesn't matter how many times I watch 11:14, i always burst out laughing.
"My staff is a big snake." -Ba'al
Why would there be inedible plants in paradise?
Lowercase g gods in the Bible refer to demons. It is biblical that demons receive worship as gods by people, e.g. Egyptian gods are demons that do hold some degree of power in the region. The ten plagues were specific attacks on those Egyptian gods, showing how powerless they are in comparison to the one true God.
*Cruel Angel's Thesis intensifies*
Guys I just noticed there are so many Evangelion references in the Bible
Can you answer this question for me? Where did you get those pictures of the different angels? I can't find them in Google
@Gremory Rias I think that's a safe bet. Maybe look up Poe's artwork and see if the artstyle is similar.
@Catholic pheonix so he also drew those pictures of angels?
@Gremory Rias It's Poe the Wonder cat. 8:30
@Gremory Rias I think they mention the name of the artist when they show the first picture of satan
Do you know their sauce?
Zoroastrianism didn't end by the Christians but by the Muslims
4:26, source of that picture?
Oh shit the *emperor* himself? What an honor!
22:20 No redface, there's two accounts in Genesis. It's not two different stories. The first is more of an abridged summary while the second includes more details. 24:35 Also these weren't curses placed on them, these were declarations about how things would play out in the future because of their actions. If you play with matches and I say "You're going to burn yourself" I am not cursing you into immolation.
I'm pretty sure "like us" refers to Jesus and the angles... Not other gods, all other gods are false. Hence all other gods being called false gods throughout the Bible, and ba'al's ( god of the rains and abundant harvests ) and other god's power never seen.
Actually in Revelation 12:8 Satan is refered to as "that ancient serpent". A obvious nod to the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Also when God says "us" he is probably referring to the Trinity. But overall good video.
Lol exactly! Like I am pretty sure there are only 4 types of angles not freaking 9. Also when Jehovah/God says "like us" he is most likely referring to Jesus. Since Jesus was always there helping him build the universe. As the heavens were made first... Like it legit says that in the first 10 words in the Bible lol.
Don’t worry about getting demonetized. You have the “correct” ideology.
Remy Lacroix ftw!
Biblical theology gets really crazy when you consider that the damnation of mankind is likely predestined in order to unify humanity with God through the holy Spirit. Wihtout the knowledge of good and evil then jesus and the holy Spirit is pointless for humanity....
Actually in the quran Moses throw downs his staff and turns it into a snake not Aaron Moses overcomes his speech impediment hence character development lol
Gen 8:7-12 The bird thing is in that book.
Ooh boy this is gonna be controversial.
Oh boy I was getting ready to get offended lol
If your faith is true, then no amount of arguing can take it from you. If your faith is not true, why would you want to keep it?
Jesus actually was before all other creation. Hes the firstborn of all creation and everything is made through him. Hes the word of the father.
Woah woah woah, so your saying Satan has the Emperor’s voice?
wow you really added alot to the bible and made it sound more punchy using some cannon and bits and pieces of other non biblical references. Maybe even a few hate filled refuse against the creation with convincing ability. But it is a caytalist for good ripping people from their belief system. Who thinks that tricking people to go to hell is a good thing? Is that good or bad? The part between gen 1 27 leading up to gen 2 18 Man and woman is still Eve. The first chapter is talking about history and then chap 2 is breaking down the history. alot of books do this by talking about the same two people.
Stop making fun of my god damn rod.
Can you do a video about the book of revelations?
Man Milton had terrible theology.
Yes, sending birds to see if they find dry land IS in the Bible.
The Russell Crowe movie didn't just make things up to add to the movie, they took it from apocrypha. It really made for a much more interesting movie.
20:20 The idea that the snake is Satan IS actually in the Bible, just not in Genesis. Also, there was no other woman before Eve in Genesis. The Bible has a habit of telling a story at a high level (like man and woman created) and then going back and expanding on the details (woman being created a little after man from a rib).
Christians don't like to talk about it but in fact the Bible talks about a council of gods (psalm 82:1) they are clearly more then angels but they aren't the Trinity, God judges some of them as wicke.
Ikr it's almost like ancient fan fic or something...
King James isn't original anything (except English). It's a mistranslated and misinterpreted version.
I have a feeling that god does not appreciate airhorn sound effects over blasphemy. lol
Umm, colonial apples were sweet. They just are rarer nowadays
The notion of Lilith as Adam's first wife isn't even in the Bible.
"Whaaaaat? Talking Snake?"
Us is the Trinity it is in Genesis 1. The little g god are idols and Pagan deities.
The first statement of creation of male and female in his image is a big overview of the story of creation. Then we are given a little more detailed explanation of creations animals and Eve from his side. It is a recap of prestated story with more details.
King James is not the original translation. On Noah’s Ark the birds were sent out go to Genesis 8:7-9. The Trinity is complexly simple. The Holy Spirit is not a what but a who. Lucifer fell because he wanted to be like God.
Satan? You mean the Dark Lord [FALLOUT 1997 music]
“We put it in a bottle, drink up”
Also, the passage at 26:00 got interpreted wrong. "Us" refers to the celestial ones: God and every angel. It would be real strange for a book that preaches throughout about this one, singular and all powerful God, to suddenly on it's first book be mentioning an undisclosed amount of them.
I liked the joke, but to anyone that might be interested, here's the explanation of the Holy Trinity as the Church says it is. There's the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. -The Father is most likely the highest depiction you can fathom of God, everything that ever was and ever will be. -The Son is Jesus, but it's different than a regular son. Jesus IS God because every one of the Holy Trinity is God. He's the Son because God got birthed into this world, through His will and the Virgin Mary's acceptance. Hence "the Son of God": He IS God birthed as a man through the married intentions of both Him and Mary. -The Holy Spirit is also God. "Spirit" in catholic teachings implies future, it's your will to do something or get somewhere. So the Holy Spirit is the spirit to BE holy, perfect in every sense. This is why this is also God, because only He (conceptually) can be perfect, but as humans we find true happiness and wisdom by being granted it by Him. It's also the "part" of God present in all of us that "enables" us to the afterlife. The natural conclusion to the average Joe is that christians are actually polytheistic, but that isn't the case. It's common to see those three and *sum* them toghether, totaling three Gods. When in reality you should be thinking in multiples. 1x1x1=1.
did tolkien read milton?
I read this stuff I should know this, shame
"Original official King James version"? Dude, are you freaking kidding me? I thought you were better at research than that. SMH
What's in Quran about adam and eve
I have a serious problem with religious institutions. Religion is a cancer upon this world, but faith is important, and I very much distinguish between a religious asshole and a faithful person.
You're fantastic. I recommend, for accuracy sake, to investigate the Tora. Its the first 5 books of the Bible. The word Tora means teacher, it's the holy book for we Jews. Not a word or letter has been altered in 1.5 millennia. There are great translations to English available, especially in Toras which include the Hebrew along side the English. You would be amazed at how far from the original, the language has been altered in the holy Bible. enjoy, keep up the great work..
methinks thou hast gotten the story of Noah incorrect ... "at least" 2 of each animal might be more accurate - Gen 7:2-3.
Original "King James"? Anyway
Shoulda held out a pomegranate with your other hand when you said "now you know better."
Probably should have read some Aquinas
That's what Mao said.
And weebs want both to shag em
Lucifer never became Satan. The bible does NOT say this. Period. It's nowhere in the text. I am sitting in front of an NSV, Qur'an, ( poor spelling ) sahiel waquari and sahi Muslim (the current translation doesn't offer proper English spelling). I've been studying all of them, independently... The way you describe Eve's story, is a direct repetition of Muhammad's story. You're not wrong there, they just sound the same, word for word. You've never put out a less informed video. The quotes are spot on, the historical drawings from biblical text are missing so much, I don't believe that you had one in front of you.
Jesus was never named as lord of the angels and the trinity has a thorough explanation. I'm not even close to being a Christian.. WTF
The TO god, are actually angels that acted as the voice OF god. Lucifer is never referred to as the devil and Satan literally means; temptor. This is the lease factually accurate content I have ever seen from this channel. It shouldn't go without saying, I'm NOT religious, rather, just seriously interested in theology. Some of this information is so wrong, it almost seems like intentional lies. This video makes me feel like I've been putting too much faith in your channel.
*Simple explanation:* Hollywood is run by witches and satanists, so obviously they're going to want to twist the Bible into Gnostics false interpretations.
... And milton took a lot of his story from Volndel's Lucifer, but nobody realizes that cause it's written in non-English.
It became a bit difficult to follow the portions of Paradise Lost that you were referencing and your description of the actual substance of scripture. For example, there aren't two different creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 describing two separate acts of creation. Moses records a very general summary of the 7 days of creation. Then he goes back and describes in greater detail the creation of Adam and Eve. They're both describing the same event. It wasn't really clear if you were advocating for that reading or explaining where Milton came up with a motivation for Eve's actions. Also, your statement that there are dozens of gods in the Old Testament is a very creative reading. By that logic, I can actually claim to have had a friend at some point in my life because I once had an imaginary friend named Victor. Your point about Christianity doing away with Zoroastrianism by absorbing its beliefs is interesting, but lacking any actual evidence. That's ironic, given your main point about getting the story right. I appreciate the sentiment. You had a couple of good points, but ended up reaching well beyond what is actually warranted.
Actually what you say at 22:00 is wrong. There are 2 different stories about god creating earth packed behind each other, made in separate times. They are not connected.
Aaron's Rod? The bible predicted Alex Rodriguez and Aaron Rodgers! A Rod, Aaron's Rod.... See, it was predicted!!!!
@Saint Knight *shrug* A faction is most often judged by the loudest and most obnoxious groups within them. My hope is that the current religious climate changes in a much more positive way. Faith is for everyone regardless of who they are or what they believe in, but when ideas from over a thousand years ago haven't changed and the largest, most powerful factions aren't willing to (PEACEFULLY) expel those that abuse their positions or justify extreme violence against a group of others "Because God(s)". I'm happy to see a church that welcomes everyone regardless of who they are. We are all people at the end of the day, regardless of belief, ethnicity or nationality, and to be extremely literal with many religious ideas is only going backwards. "What would Jesus do?" Jesus would fucking DIE for a stranger. Who else among us would do the same?
My Jewish ass while watching this : THEY THINK WHAT?
I like to go with Azazel, the angel who invented war. It's also got an 'El which is thematically cool. GET IN THE DAMN ROBOT SHINJI. I am still writing out my slightly cosmic horror setting. Will be cul
The Bible is not a book. It's a collection of books. Like a Kindle. Also the original is not the KJV. The closest to the original is the Duoay Rheims. Before that the Latin Vulgate, before that the Greek, before that Hebrew/Aramaic.
12:16 I JUST REALIZED THE PAYMONEYWUBBY TRUTH INITIATIVE SOUND BYTE LMAO
What a mess
Hey Knowing Better, did you know Lucifer is the Latin word for Morning Star translated from the Hebrew word, Helel? In fact the four Archangels names are Hebrew as well.
Eve: "hey eat this potato." Adam: "sounds like a great idea!!!"
Turning a staff into a snake is a pretty easy illusion. Don't forget it was not only Aron who turned his staff into a snake...it was a pretty regular party trick at the time apparently.
As far as I'm aware, the Earth orbiting around the Sun was actually not doubted in the "actual scientific community" starting from the Old Greeks, there was not really a "scientific debate" at the time of Cromwell, it was more of an emancipation thing. Also, the Church was not pissed at Galileo for agreeing to that stuff or anything. The reason why the Church was pissed was because Galileo saw something with a telescope you could not see with the naked eye, since that does not make sense if the sky was made by God for mankind. After all, why would he create something if you can't see it except by using instruments? Therefore, this implied the sky was not made by God for mankind and yeah... inquisition followed swiftly.
Better to wait in hell to be cast to the lake of fire, then to live forever in heaven? HOW?
The prince of Egypt is a cartoon made by DreamWorks, a production company. That movie directed by a Jewish man. Not sure what this dudes point is, because the bible said different, so confront DreamWorks?
I just want to make one recommendation to you. If you are going to critique the Bible, I highly suggest not using the ESV, or NIV. They aren't the best of material, just saying.
11:58 lol
He said demon
loving ya vids bro keep it up
I think it's really interesting this started getting re-recommended to me in October 2019 when new "wild"fires started once again to break out in the North Bay. Lemme see, they're up to Part II of this paradise falls psyop. The flood?
13:35 Anyone got sauce on that paint
Fun Fact: at a certain point in European history everything was an apple. Oranges were "apples of the orange tree". Potatos were "apples of the earth". Apple was a generic term for "lumpy round things that are used for food" So it was kind of an honest mistake when the vernacular changed and we forgot and then mis understood what the apple was.
Thanks!
This would make such an awesome movie...can you imagine the graphics and special effects????
yeah.... glossing over the trinity thing and then using the "us" and "our" in Genesis 1 to claim that the Bible says other legit gods exist is a stretch. But otherwise spot on.
But did you read a 1611 KJV?
In the Christian faith, the idea that the Serpent is Satan comes from Revelation 20. In verse two an angel casts "the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan." So, yes that came centuries after Genesis 3 was written, but it wasn't some kind of new fanfiction addition (which seems to be the implication of your statement at 20:15)—Unless you consider the New Testament to be mere fan fiction of the Tanakh.
Very skillful shill drop near the end
Hell as a democracy sounds entirely accurate rofl
@Saint of Dynasty *shrug* A faction is most often judged by the loudest and most obnoxious groups within them. My hope is that the current religious climate changes in a much more positive way.

i always thought Paradise Lost was written by someone who got married and Paradise Regained was written when she died.
When he says "us" he was talking about father, son and holy spirit. One God, 3 persons. No other gods in the bible. There are false gods that other nations worshiped. There is one God.
Gods new son? Jesus was begotten, not created. Does it say Jesus was created in paradise lost? Everything was made through Jesus. Angels too.
Potato this way, hmm yes.
Historically, priests don't agree on one explanation of what the trinity is and some had even been excommunicated, banished or killed from the discourse. Even now, there's different interpretations of the trinity depending on what denomination you believe in.
Genius
LOL , The " God " or Alihyim of gen 1:1 and the " lord God " of gen 2:4 are not the same entity ! You mix your interpretations as actual text, and put Milton up there with the bible ?So when someone refers to a " forbidden fruit " is it thought of as an apple ? Oh and another mistake almost aLL LUCIFERIANS MAKE , IT WAS NOT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE , IT WAS, AS THE TEXT STATES , THE TEE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL . WHY ? SO THE CAN GO ON TO PURPORT THEIR "LUCIFER " THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN , AS THE GOOD GUY ,AND THER aLIHYIM , THE CREATORS OF GENESIS ONE , AS THE BAD GUY . however THEY ALSO FAIL TO recognize the Alihyim gave them access to the tree of life, they were not denied access to this tree until after they disobeyed. All in all you " proofs " are shallow and mis the entire point of the bible !
You got a lot of what the Bible actually says, wrong.
A person does not go to HELL for blasphemy. You might want to check the source book again.
Where does momon fit in those circles?
the bible says god created 'humankind' , both male and female, before adam and eve. i guess this can be subject to interpretation as to what 'humankind' means. perhaps it was a prototype of apes? i need to research this a bit further.
he has become like 'us.' there is a formal way of speaking that refers to the use of the word i and you as us and we. the quote using the word US does not neccessarily emply more than one god.
The Noah story was mentioned in other books in the bible and specifically talked about by Jesus. The Noah story was covered extensively in the Apocrypha.
Your make-up effects are great
This is the closest I have ever been to actually being interested in the stories of the Bible, and I'm an atheist. You make this stuff way more intriguing than my parents ever could have.
Noah brought two of each kind? Only two? So sheep went extinct after Noah offered a sacrifice post-flood.
There are a LOT of holes in this video, unfortunately. Christianity simply wasn't the first religion to bring about the idea of a one and only God. Come on now lol
Oh I love Jesus. The real Jesus... The YouTube Jesus. Not the Bible guy.
Really? No character development? I guess you haven’t read the stories...
I don't get it. What's funny about rod? What's blasphemous about rod?
Raw potatoes are delicious
Sin and Death, the complimentary opposites to the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Intedasting :o
I haven't watched it all, but I'd like to say that 2 Corinthians 11:14 is likely the source of "Satan as a 10/10"
The first chapter of Genesis is also told to be a sort of prologue. Which is kind of interesting as well. Anyways. Great video!
The very definition of the word God, (the God of the Bible), makes it impossible and nonsensical for Him to have an enemy such as the Devil/Satan. God is ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, etc.... Satan is MAN'S 'adversary.'
New Testament scholar, N.T Wright, has a good explanation of the Snake in the Garden....
The Bible is best understood from an ancient Hebrew understanding of the culture that it was written in....
The Trinity can be explained like H2O - the same thing, in three forms...or like, the make-up of a single human being - body, soul, mind, etc.... just a thought.
Or like, a male that is a son, a father, and a brother, all in the same person.
No, he brought multiple pairs of "clean" animals (seven I think) and one pair of "unclean" animals. There also *_is_* actually a place in the bible that speaks of people not believing Noah about the flood. It's a tiny little line, but it's there. Most of this video is on point though.
I thought this was going to be about "Paradise Lost" by John Milton.
nevermind I got to the part
I've never read the bible. I don't get this , ... at all. .. Not even a little bit.
It is two of the unclean animals. Not all the animals. only issue here.
staffs or staves?
The first time I watched this I straight-up stare at the demon face for like ten seconds and don’t process the fact that that’s the get-up because it just fits so well
Knowing Better: “Official-Original-King-James-Version” Me: *Hard Cringe*
6:22, most people mostly drank plain water. You took it from your well, which most of the time worked out well enough. Leaking cesspits could contaminate the ground water, or leak into the well directly, so in towns there were problems with dysentery or cholera etc affecting notably those drinking from "a single well" in the 1854 Broad Street outbreak, which for example led to the proposal of the germ theory of disease. Drinking river water was less broadly a good idea, but as with modern 'less developed' societies this water is drunk directly with minimal ill-effect to those familiar with it. Probably best not to drink water discharged downstream of a tannery, fuller or dyer, or from shitbrook, but in the volume of the river the contamination was probably not too foul once the miasma of a large town had had time and space to disperse, or upstream from the largest settlements. In medieval times for example, a large town might only have a few thousand people (very large cities more and far worse pollution) - and had a desire to use the waste in industry and on the land as fertiliser more than to discharge it to the rivers directly. Urea as a mordant was valuable, and the nitrogen of animal and human waste and the waste products of grain production (straw, fresh, used, and eaten and excreted by cattle was nearly as valuable lb for lb as the grain crop itself). Wine, Ale, Beer and Cider are tastier than water, are more refreshing to drink, and yes, their production does aid treating local contaminants in the water... but this is advice for the traveller, rather than the local if at all. It is an exaggeration or outright fabrication IMO.
I support the fruit being a fygg, yes two gs, but that is is because im partial to the dragon quest 9 history.
Actually, in Genesis 8, Noah does send forth a bird, and it returns with an olive leaf. It didn't happen, but best to get the details right.
Lusifer is an angel still just to a good one.
Why are you using the "original" kings James version is not even the best translation
Satan just got impatient and wanted to see adam and eve lose theyr V card.
So God the Father did not create Jesus, pretty much any Christian will tell you that. Trinity is a mystery, that's kind of the point. Apologies for not remembering the latin but, if we could understand Him, He wouldn't be God.
I honestly do enjoy all your videos even the ones I cringe at, the way you put things together and make it enjoyable without putting anyone down, makes them very enjoyable. I'm a conservative but watch alot of moderate to far left videos because, I like listening to the other sides view and I have had my mind change on certain things but I still consider myself conservative.
I'm hoping that was ironic. Surely it is.
but they have different characterisations. Like God in the old testament is a bit grumpy, Jesus is a bit kinder and forgiving, and the Holy Spirit is.... well I have no idea what it even is. Also, I am a bit confused if everyone in the trinity is God, then how do they exist at the same time, whilst there being just one god?
6:45 The Bible is not the only authority for Christians. Original Christianity has always been sustained by the Three Legged Stool: Sacred Scripture,Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium. That is how God ordained it. The Church Fathers offer more clarity on Adam and Eve, as does Bl. Catherine Emmerich and Mary of Agreda.
4:59 Noah sending out birds IS Biblical. See Genesis 8:6-12. Noah sends out a raven and a dove to check for dry land.
If you want to read the Bible, use the Douay Rheims or the NAB. All the rest are adulterated.
this is a weird observation but i feel like yr content reminds me of contrapoints. yr both very thoughtful creators and are in the upper echelon of informative youtube channels :)
AND THE COSTUME WORK IS IMPECCABLE
You totally flunk theo 101
Right, monotheism, the notion of there being only one God, is a later understanding of God. Obviously, other gods (what we would today call demons or devils) exist. That isn't controversial. However, the Bible's many books consistently point out again and again the folly of listening to other gods, serving them, or otherwise failing to live according to His (The Lord's) plan. The many internecine conflicts in christianity can just as easily be understood as man's free will and folly coinciding and also the work of lesser, created, gods (demons) attempting to undermine and thwart God's plan. Anyone who has read the Bible or taken an intro to scripture class should be able to understand this. Monaltry is sometimes used a word for this concept: many gods, but service to only one God, the Lord.
Again, milton is fanfic. God's preferred system of government is either anarchy interrupted by prophets and judges as described in the book of Judges or monarchy, as Christians revere Jesus as the Lord. Republics, free markets, etc. are human inventions and clearly against God's natural ordering of things.
Lilith is just Hebrew fan-fic. The Lilith only occurs once in the Bible in the prophet Isaiah, where it is clearly a reference to either an animal (perhaps a screech owl) or to a demon of the waste, since the rest of the chapter describes how Israel had been turned into a wasteland as a punishment for failing to follow God's laws. The idea of Lilith as a beta version of Eve is Jewish fan-fiction. There are 2 accounts of creation in genesis, not one unified account. Both are heavily poetic as is the account of creation in the Gospel of John, chapter 1. The main take away is that God ordered creation and placed it in motion in a manner that is logical and hierarchical, not that it literally has to happen in the multiple and contradictory ways the text describes. We have the benefit of thousands of years of learning and transmitted knowledge that the authors of Genesis and John didn't. Adam and Eve had equal intelligence to modern humans, but not equal experience. They were extremely naïve by our standards. Likewise how we will surely be seen as primitive and backwards by a distant humanity as God's continued revelation are not known to us while we are presently fastened to our mortal coils. Obviously, God could not have revealed to the authors of genesis the complex chemistry and biology that created humanity as it would simply be incoherent to them, so too we can't cure cancer or eliminate poverty or travel to distant stars or galaxies. We can grasp those concepts, but they aren't materially possible for us. Adam and Eve could see the problems of disobedience and sin, but couldn't yet grasp the gravity of the situation and later prophets and compilers of the old and new testaments could see the benefits of having them compiled, but couldn't anticipate the dirth of information contained therein to a far distant readership. As far as they were concerned, they were adequately recording and transmitting the key information Christians needed to know. The rest would be (and still is) transmitted through other Christians, the magisterium, the Church, the saints, and most importantly God himself directly, as needed and according to His plan and timetable and not our own.
Milton, like Dante, is Christian fan-fic. It's not doctrine, dogma, or otherwise taken seriously by the Church. In your video about Dante you mentioned that he invented purgatory, but the concept of purgatory was well established by at least the 11th century and existed and is referenced much earlier (indirectly) in Maccabees. The battle between God and Lucifer isn't in the Bible. Satan appears in Job (which is scripture) and is an advocate or nitpicker, some would say adversary. He incites God to strip away Job's blessings to test his faith. In the Gospel of Matthew, satan appears to Christ after his fast in the desert and similarly tests Him. We know satan is evil and the prince of lies and sower of discord; however, his mythology (ie. Fan-fic) is greater than what is either scripturally discussed about him or officially held by the Church. If anything, the physical description of satan from the bible is a great dragon who has 10 heads and 7 horns as depicted in Revelation, but even that is obviously a poetic description as the imagery represents aspects of the Revelation to John of Patmos and not necessarily a photographic image of satan. You're taking Milton's fan-fic and warping it to make it seem like there exists no difference or distinction in the mind's of Christians between Satan as discussed in scripture and Satan, the fan-fic character from Milton or Dante, which is just intellectually dishonest.
The Holy Spirit is the Lord, the giver of life. He is the groom of Mary, the essence of the Father and Son, and anima (Spirit of God) that breathes life into all creation, and who directly enacts miraculous events in human history. He manifested to all of the prophets and most prominently to Mary and the Apostles at Pentecost when He descended as tongues of fire. This is all explained pretty clearly in the creeds of the church and expounded on thoroughly by the church fathers and doctors of the church.
*Holy Ghost, not "Spirit". Anyway, I'm glad to find a good Catholic here. Thank you for your comments. The faith is often misunderstood and it's very saddening.
God didn't create Jesus. Jesus is consubstantial with the Father and Holy Spirit, having existed, existing, and will be existing for eternity with and as God. Christ's mutable aspect is his humanity which had a definite starting point (his conception in the immaculate womb of Mary) but no endpoint as after His death and resurrection, he ascended into heaven, both body and spirit. It's like you're not even trying at this point...12 minutes 30 seconds in and the cringe is overwhelming.
Dude, apple is just the old English word for basically any fruit...The idea that we later associate it with just one fruit is the historical issue, not that people historically were eurocentric or dishonest in their interpretations or understandings of the story. This is the second comment on this video I've made about your screw ups. If you want to trash the Bible, at least do it honestly.
Genesis 8. Noah 100% sends out a raven, then a dove multiple times to find dry land. Eventually, the dove returns with an olive branch, and then later doesn't return.
lolreligion
Eve sounds literally just like a woman, too. lol. Never culpable of blame. Just awesome.
Have you done a video about how Lucifer was never an actual character in the Bible, that the word is only seen once in the entire book, and that it is actually a reference to Venus as the bright Morning Star and to a fallen Babylonian king? I'd watch that.
You are incorrect. The Bible specifically describes Noah sending out both a raven and several doves to seek dry land (Genesis 8:8-12).
I'm super glad you mentioned that Satan isn't a name. Little known fact!
@Derek RaderI meant KB - I'm sure he knows the KJV was hardly the 'original' Bible!
Matthew McVeagh I’m rarely sarcastic.
the bible has more inconsistencies than harry potter when the time turner was introduced .... like how they created together but but not together.. and how where they even able to lie to god if he knew all... wouldnt he have known what would happen 25 billion years before they even ate the fruit... free will or no free will god be tripping
YOU MAKE THE DEVIL ON NERD CITY LOOK LIKE A 4th GRADERS HALLOWEEN COSTUME..... (also can someone plz hook a brutha up with those rule 34 links)
#DangLuciferYouLookinLikeaSnack
3:02.... the original official... King James version? That wasn't the original just saying
The birds after the flood were in the version I had to read for my classical literature class. It's the Norton Anthology, excerpts from the book of Revelation.
"The official, original King james version"
I know that Eve....she is definitely a sinner. I can personally confirm that. XD
Without commenting on right or wrong or anything like that at all, a lot of the Noah’s Ark stuff about his family, community, etc is out of the Islamic interpretation of the story in their tradition. He actually is elevated to the level of a prophet/messenger (can’t remember the distinction). This is pretty common of the Quran and extra-Quranic literature, they often add more detail or change key details in a way that gives a very different weight to events in the story.
I like your videos even if I disagree with some things yoyr usually spot on with facts. I respect facts so thank you and keep making videos you have a good sense of humor!
19:20 There is NO LIFE ON OTHER PLANET
I wish you would actually specify what is Catholic doctrine and what is Milton's fiction. Respectfully, this is a very misleading depiction of Christianity.
I wish you would actually specify what is Catholic canon and what is Milton's fiction. Respectfully, this is a very misleading depiction of Christianity.
14:28 'Lucifer' actually wasn't originally associated with the devil. It was the Church Fathers who decided it so. "Lucifer" is a Latin word derived from "lux" (light) and "ferre" (to carry"— hence "light bearer". The altar boys who carry torches during Mass are called "lucifers", and we also have 3rd century St Lucifer of Calgliari who supported St Athanasius in protesting Arianism, as well as Bishop Lucifer of Sienna. The Church Fathers named the devil so because they paralleled the King of Babylon— whose title "O Day Star" in Isaiah 14:12 is translated to Latin as "lucifer"— and his pride (Is 14:14) with that of Satan and how Jesus describes him as falling from Heaven like lightning (Luke 12:18).
12:55 NO! Get the doctrine of the Trinity from: 1) The Bible 2) The Church Fathers 3) The Creeds from the Councils of Nicaea (AD 325), Constantinople I (AD 381), and Toledo (AD 589). In short, the Catholic Church. She is the only denomination that can historically trace Her roots to Christ, and it is She who developed and canonized theology from the 1st century onwards. The rest are offshoots, most are heresies. NOT from random Christians. Not everybody is properly catechized and not everyone who calls himself a "Christian" is one.
12:31 This is blasphemy
12:22 God the Father DID NOT CREATE JESUS. God is a Trinity: Unity in Essence and Trinity in Persons. The Son is begotten of the Father, with whom He is consubstantial, NOT MADE, and the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Ghost is the object of the reciprocal love of the Father and the Son. ALL ARE EQUAL. *capitals not meant as shouty, just for emphasis.
10:21 The Thrones adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in all the Tabernacles of the world. 11:25 Not funny, bro
Um... Exodus 4:2-4?
Lol, don't hate on the Noah angels! I actually really liked those. I interpreted their appearance coming from what an angel might be (pure light, energy) but being confined to a terrestrial realm. Therefore, whatever they are is trapped inside of the stone they fell into. That being said, your channel is great. You got a new subcriber. :D
It's relieving to hear that God was not the one and only, originally. It makes it easier to accept that this conceit was a ploy to increase revenue and subscriptions via fearmongering, and it makes me feel less afraid about not believing.
The hebrew word for god/gods simply means spiritual being. The definition just changed over the period of time
@Synxi Elohim. And YHWH is the name of the distinct elohim higher the others.
The "yhwh" one?
Gen. 8:7! Sorry man read your Bible the raven is in there. This is a really bad dissection of the book of Genesis. And I’m really disappointed in you for saying Adam got off while Eve was heavily punished. You used so much from Milton which has no real context to the actual Bible. As he just poses he own opinion on the Bible that’s not even based on actual scripture.
That Bible guy is pretty cool too
@Synxi Anything that is more accurate to the original manuscripts, which I am sorry to say, the ESV and NIV aren't the most accurate, or best. I would rather KJV, NKJV, or NASB, I'm sure that's reasonable.
What's the best?
4:25 Noah's ark meets Halo
Everything in that book is a lie and anyone that believes any of it is a moron.

it is Berenstain, i still have the book i have as a child
Regarding Noah, a bird was sent out, in Genesis 8
7 of each?
"Dearest principality of demonization"
The birds are talked about in Genesis 8:6-12 New American Bible (Catholic). Please read? (Edited)
I'm sorry god, but if Elizabeth Hurley is the devil, I'm afraid I am going to have to become a satanist.
i was told the tree of knowledge was a metaphor for sex... or the knowledge of sex?
I love how we made god
King James? Ewww If there is one rife with inconsistencies and mistranslations it is the KJV.
Seraph means burning one and serpent. How did you miss that when you researched the meaning of the word?
The powers that oversee YouTube are the fallen variety of angel. aka. demons
Could it be that Moses didn't know Hebrew and he had an accent? Or he just didn't know the language...?
@Matthew McVeagh KJV is as original as modern movies. Nothing new. When he started reading the KJV, I'm thinking "Did you read any other bible?" Me as a Cradle Catholic: he just reads one bible and thinks that every Christian faith is based on it. Like calling every video game Pokémon.
Antitheists making videos on religion. Totally trustworthy ! He doesn't want me making vids on shilling for child molesting globalists, does he ? No, so ignore this buffoon and his propaganda or we call him out of the whore closet.
God wants us to use skill share?????
You blow my mind guy
24:35 God never cursed Adam or Eve. They were blessed. The serpent was cursed and later, their son Cain was cursed, but not Adam or Eve.They would eat. They would have children. But their was (and still is) a consequence for sin.
Concerning 4:58 : Genesis chapter 8 verses 6-12 Noah sends forth a raven (once) and a dove.(three times)'
About other gods, demons and angels were always viewed as lesser gods but not eternal gods.
Who the fuck doesn't know about Aaron? Sweet Moses bangin' on his alabaster tambourine! Read the Good Book.
how is an apple eurocentric? apples come from central asia
One point of clarification, the Bible does not teach that satan is in Hell, like you point out is in Dante’s Inferno. It actually teaches that he is currently on the Earth and will be sent down to Hell in the end times and will punished at that time. Many of the stories you talked about are not actually in the Bible, as you mentioned, and these are not accepted Christian beliefs but myths around the story (Milton and Dante definitely do not represent accurate Christian beliefs).
*be punished
Repent!!! Jesus coming back.
Lucifer is not Satan. Never has been. Satan means temper. Satan is any evil temptation and God is the ruler of the underworld.
18:30 PURPLE!
It's kinda neat that you got atlasPro on for the voice overs
Wait how was sin and death born?
3:52 "Dammit Naamah, where's the little washer that goes on the upright thing?!!?"
So you gon tell me that the Bible says there are multiple gods and you just almost skipping past that? Man tell us more.
Also, as far as jealous goes, it's complicated, but there is only one God, the bible says he is the way, the truth and the life, and that no ones comes to the father but by him. He's jealous in a sense of how the emotion is uncorrupted.
Also, an interesting way I've heard the trinity of God explained this way; how can one person be 3 different things but not separate entities? Think of it this way: there is a single man, but that man can be different things to different people, while being the same person. A man can be a father, a son, and brother.
The Prince of Egypt was such a friggin good movie. Christian or not, it's a beautifully made film, along with one similar Joseph king of dreams (albeit Prince of Egypt was my favorite). Sadly they really don't make em like that anymore. Also, as far as sending out a bird in the Noah story, he first sent out a raven, and then a dove. XD and Lucifer a stud muffin...lol. though in all fairness, Satan/Lucifer is stated as being beautiful.
So hell is a democratic senate while heaven is where all the do-gooder yes men go to shout compliments at god? Ya I'm really not seeing the benefits of follow your religion guys.
Sorry dudes. Noah sends out RAVENS AND DOVES! IT IS FOUND IN THE AUTHORITATIVE BIBLE - THE TORAH!
I think you did a very well job telling the take unbiasly, very well done
When he took out the KJB I was like: "Oi Vhey"
Aw sweet! You posted this on my birthday! You are such a great person to learn from!
I’m a man of culture. Lucifer is a hack, but Crowley? Now there’s a real ruler of hell lol.
You have alot more studying to do.
Interesting
I really enjoyed this one.
22:02 For the confused Genesis 2 is a retelling of Genesis 1 by a different author. Genesis 1 was written by an author scholars have called P and Genesis 2 was written by an author scholars have called J. The two stories are essentially self contained and stand on their own. The first written by P - the priestly source, could have developed out of liturgy, with it’s regular refrain ‘there was evening and there was morning’ . The P source also has the establishment of the Sabbath, It owes much to ancient Mesopotamian literature. It may have been written to repudiate other creation myths around at the time. The J source it very colourful. God is anthropomorphised, walking in the garden, and concentrates more on Man’s relationship with creation and with God. Just as with the Gospels it’s important to have both. As each author brings something new. A Christian interpretation of God using the ‘we’ pronoun could be that God is ‘we,’ because God is Trinity. Jews might say that it’s a Royal ‘we’
Noah took 7 of every animal on his ark, actually
I love how the bible is like "Aaron did a magic trick. But the Egyptians pulled a James Randi and did the same magic trick. But then Aaron's magic trick ate the Egyptians magic trick, because bigger dick diplomacy."
Also, the part about Lucifer being punished just like everyone else in hell. I could only think "Man, you don't even know. These three guys? they taste like shit."
When the Lord says “Us” in when discussing of Mankind’s punishment, He is referring to the Trinity (meaning it is likely God the Father talking to Christ and to the Spirit).
Hi ho Sliver away!
The King James Bible isn’t the canonical Bible
11:20 is the best part of this whole video except for Jesus not knowing about his sacrifice.
Revelations mentions that the snake was satan.
You're wrong on one account: the bible does include the bit about birds seeking dry land. Genesis 8: 6-12 (NIV) discusses the sending of the raven and the dove to "...see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground" (NIV Genesis 8:8).
Why is there such a book comprised of fairy tales, one book as a sex manual, Hebrew law, allegories and false prophecies declared as religious? That's just the "old testament". I see where Joseph Smith got inspired to compose "the book of mormon". Perhaps how Lafayette Ronald Hubbard got inspired to create Scientology. Bullshit. All of it. Some were born to follow rules, some were born to make their own.
The surest proof of a Creator God is the fact that all things are in balance. Chaos is a change between one point of balance and the next. Isn't it interesting that in all creation there are no dead ends?
DEUS VULT
It's a crime that you don't have 5 million plus subscribers.
I've always been confused about the debate of what fruit was the fruit from the tree of knowledge. The fruit is obviously knowledge. An apple tree has apples. An orange tree, oranges. I'd assume the fruit from the tree of knowledge, would be knowledge. The ancient astronaut theory is the most plausible in my opinion
How did you become an atheist after Iraq? Being in the birthplace of Christianity really opened my eyes, but you were in Southern Iraq and I was up north near places like Kirkuk and Nineveh. I worked closely with the Assyrian (original Christians who still live in Iraq) security forces when I was there with the Kurdish Peshmerga. (I left you a comment on a different video about that in case you had questions) I'll pray for you, brother, Catholicism would be up your alley since you're a thinking man. I'm a pre Vatican 2 Catholic (ultra orthodox, Latin Mass, veils and communion rails to put the laiety in its place)
God I love the female anus
There isn’t other gods, all of those names are still his own name, however the Holy Spirit and Jesus is god, but they are the same person as God (it’s confusing I know)
Eh, I will just go by what the Bible says, the book you read from sounds way too catholic
*Heaven is a strong, hierarchical Monarchy and Hell is a weak, corruptible Democracy. Satan chooses the 3rd option* "based"
I do like your style.
Wtf
As a Native American I am deeply offended by you painting your face red, you wouldn't dress up in black face, why do you think you have the right to dress up in the red face don't you understand the genocide that your people have caused my people, This is completely unacceptable and go figure an army man dressing up in red face. you should be ashamed
The fruit Eve tricked Adam with was sex you fool.
There's a book by Anne Rice called Memnoch The Devil. I believe she writes it as a way tip convince others god is real, but all it really does is highlight how easily the bible could've been scientifically accurate and even verifiable. Great read though
You´re wrong on the apple. The oldest sort of apples here in germany is the Borsdorfer. We have manuscrips from the 12th century mentioning it´s delicious sweet sour taste.
ohhhh that jesus cameo is so good.
11:17 had me HOWLING
The serpent was a beast of the field. After God cursed the serpent, became a long slider reptile, to slither on his belly. (He was not Satan) Adam, Eve and the animal's had a way to communicate with one another. God made Adam and Eve, just as my mom and dad made me, my brother, and sister, but not at the same time.
I couldn't sit through this whole video sorry, but the bible is my favorite boo ever one could spend an entire life time reading it and still never understand it all. That being said Noah did send out birds a raven and a dove. There is a mystery in this, we don't know why the raven never came back but the dove did.
10:56 LOL classic... But you need pray to the google god.
So wait, Nord Gods and others are legit? Yee haw
Official king james version Ancient greek still used by the greek orthodox church crying in the corner
"This, is a test" The bible is a JoJo reference truly *_MADE IN HEAVEN_*
@7:35 - I don't think the pilgrims ever landed on America... it was all done in a soundstage in the Globe Theatre in London. ;-)
Yep, psychedelics were definitely involved in the creation of Christianity
Whoa, i finally get the HALO references to the bible.
Lol the trinity makes no sense, pretty sure it’s a pagan belief anyway
King James Bible Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy "rod" and thy "staff" they comfort me.
25:53 could the us be referring to God talking to the trinity?
I generally liked the video as a whole, but I want to point out one inaccuracy starting at 4:58. He lists sending out birds as one of the things they never did, but as you can see in Genesis 8:7-12, Moses first sends out a raven (8:7), then a dove (8:8-9), and then, after seven days, he sent the dove out again (8:10-11), and finally he sent it out a third time, after which it did not come back (8:12). Like I said, I appreciated most of the content in this video, but I just wanted to address this one inaccuracy. Here's the full passage (in the KJV): 7 "And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 "Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 "But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 "And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 "And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 "And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more." As an aside, can we get AtlasPro to narrate the whole Bible? His voice is beautiful. No homo.
I like this video, I like this guy but from an theological perspective much of this is wrong. One thing to keep in mind is that academic theologians don't use king James version they use transcripts written the original languages of Hebrew and Greek which are contextual languages, often mistranslated.
Only Jews care about the old testament. Jews and the worst kinds of Christians. The kind that hate gays and say video games and music are from the devil. Christianity exists entirely apart from the old testament. Insert Darth Vader "I have changed the terms of our agreement" meme.
I thought I would know better. But with this.. No. If I compare the Bible with evolution I have to make a decision. Something doesn't come from nothing. To be clear. It just my personal opinion. When someone ask, explain to me the Trinity and you get 12 different answers. Well I can't even understand my wife and you want me to explain the one who said; "As the heavens are above you, so are my thoughts, so are my ways" "His plans are not my plans" also remember that "satan can disguise as an Angel" I respect anyone's definition. By the way. When the Bible said Men and Female in chapter one of genesis. Chapter 2 verse 4. "These are the generations of the heavens and earth when they were created" so chapter two is describing how he made them. If. I just go for what you say. I wouldn't say. Now I know better. Which made me loose confidence in you.
Blasphemy!!1
Who did your make up?
11:06 So who was the principality of Germany from 1914 to 1945? Even Satan wouldn't have wished for such a terrible time and we're supposed to believe angels are doing this shit?
Or... Wait for it... The "We" refers to the trinity *shock*
I thought Neon Genesis Evangelion was a confusing mess, but apparently the source book was even more so
First, great video! As per your usual. Second. Boo! You told the Lilith story while alluding to the reason for woman being created twice. For you, and those in the comments who don't know, the current scholarly consensus is that Genesis combines two different creation stories resulting in the creation technically happening twice.
It was watermelon
I am a christia(sorta) but can still completely understand and mostly agree with what your saying. Even the other God concepts because yes they do eventually become demons. Too many people rather DENY than take time to UNDERSTAND.
Wait, I thought there was a passage about moses sending a dove and finding a palm tree or something? That lends some truth to the bird thing (though it's still wrong)
The Grim Reaper is Satan's son? Sick lore lol
For Adam and Eve the game was rigged from the start. God gave them free will to do as they please but he didn't give them the knowledge of good and evil and doing so basically denied them the understanding of the consequences of their actions. There was no way for either of them to know what would actually happen if they disobeyed God because they didn't understand it was wrong to do so because, once again, they didn't know the difference of good and evil. I guess one might say that you don't need to understand that in order to follow rules but I'd say that in order for rules to work, they need context which Adam and Eve were definitely missing.
Would rather have Lilith than Eve!!!!!
Wait how's the apple Eurocentric ? Didn't it first grow outside Europe ?
Of course Noah story doesn't have many words because it's a sumarian story.
This is false. The whole of the New Testament exists primarily *for* the New Testament. Christianity uses both and holds both in equal dignity.
”Hell is a democracy.” Then is a demoNcratic form of government inherently bad? I’m sorry, Not sorry
You intro needs a bass drip at the end
An interesting note about the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden story, and the Forbidden Fruit. While today we think of an apple as a distinct kind of food, the original word itself (rendered as _apel_ ) or it's varied equivalents in all of the European languages actually just meant fruit/vegetable in general. In other words things like strawberries, or potatoes, or nectarines, or plums or peaches would all be considered apples. It was only in the early modern times, and well after the Renaissance, that it started to become a distinct kind of fruit. For example oranges, were originally just called citruses (in French _citron_ ). Or, depending on the specific region of Europe, "chinese apples" - because they were originally believed to come from China (an interestingly the etymology of the word "orange" itself comes from _neither_ the fruit _nor_ the color - but the _tree._ So what we call today and _orange_ was originally called an _apple of the orange tree_ ). A great example of this can be seen in French. In that language, the word for apple is _pomme._ Potatoes are called _pomme de terre_ - "apples of the earth" (because they grow in the ground, rather than from a fruiting tree). And the word _pomegranate_ is actually a composite of _pom/pomme_ and [indirectly] _granum/granatum_ (seeds) - meaning literally "the apple of many seeds". Which would make perfect sense for anyone who has ever eaten a pomegranate. This could have implications not just for the fruit in the Garden of Eden, but even things like the golden apples of Aphrodite in Greek myth.
Loving this video but gotta take a minute to puke cause my Irish ears heard mention of Cromwell

@Unauthorized Expression You mean other than the fact that there are over 300 OT quotations and over 600 allusions in the NT? 2 Tim 3:14-17 [14] But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; [15] And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. *[16] All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, [17] That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work."*
@colour pink Prove it. Chapter and verse. There are only 2 that I can remember. Neither are explicit about the need to know the OT. One is from Paul the other is from Jesus.
Ahh atlas pro voiced this
and it was NOT a "RIB" but the "BACULUM" or Penis Bone that God clothed in Flesh. which is why humans are the only primates/ Mammals that do not have a Penis Bone. "The Eloheem" are the other gods the bible is refereed to
why is it that when i think of angels nowadays i think of the Shin Megami Tensei angels?
I haven't look up on your other videos for similar subject yet but in case you haven't done it yet, can you discuss the original Bible texts? Including some things regarding Hell and how it came about apparently.
For god so loved the world, that he made everyone stupid
28:00 no matter what happens it all serves a purpose to Elohim’s plan. Good and evil serve that purpose and plan. But like most other plans, plans change. First it was humans rule on earth, the divine council rules in heaven, all under the ultimate authority of Elohim. But after the fall, both of them, Elohim let’s sin runs it’s course all the way to it’s climax so that everyone will know what sin really is and what it is capable of, so that sin will never rise again.
14:42 actually Yahshua [Jesus] is the Morning Star.
13:58 actually Elohim’s original plan was for humans to rule the earth and the divine council to rule in Heaven all under the ultimate authority of Elohim.
11:27 actually only Michael is. He is called the archangel. Michael the archangel or the archangel Michael. Gabriel is never called an archangel, although he probably is the chief messenger angel. Only four angels are given special attention: Michael (obvious), Gabriel (obvious), Lucifer (the leader of the Rebellion in heaven), and the less known (maybe) the Angel of the Lord (Yahshua [Jesus] in the Old Testament). The other angel names were listed in the extra/nob-canonical Book of Enoch.
9:53 the Cherubim were the opposite of the Sphinx. Four faces, four wings, the body of a man or lion... I think. Watch Types of Angels by Nelson Walters.
Actually a phrase describing Lucifer was “perfect in your beauty”... I think
5:20 We don’t know where the Garden of Eden was located. We don’t even know what the pre-Flood world looked like. See Noah’s Flood by Genesis Apologetics on YouTube. The pre-Flood World we know was rich with vegetation. There were no oceans, but if you want to know where the Flood water went, look at the coasts.
As a child I watched a cartoon made by Hanna-Barbera (Yes, the Yogi Bear and Scooby Doo Hanna-Barbera) called Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible. Their creation story was Biblically on point. The serpent (voiced by Tim Curry) was a lizard, whom god transformed into a snake as punishment, and the fruit of knowledge was appetizing, pretty-looking fruit; not apples.
1:25 - IT WAS AARON! Thank you. I remembered my parents making it a point to tell me how wrong some movies were about the Moses account. Prince of Egypt was simply terrible (Biblically speaking) 5:00 - "None of that is in here." Actually, Noah DID send out two birds (a raven and a dove), and when the dove didn't come back, Noah assumed it found dry land. Also...Noah and his family were on the ark for 350 days, not merely 40. And the ark had a single window on the top. Yup. One single window. Ever wonder how Noah FED all those animals for a year and mucked out all those animal pens? Yeah...I wondered that too; and never got an answer from Biblical literature/apologists.
Apples were cultivated and eaten raw before the Red delicious :) And The smaller stoneapples were, in fact, not only amde to cider.
Actually the earliest depictions of the Garden of Eden story it's usually implied that the serpent is Adam's first wife Lilith this goes back to the the whole Sumerian half of the side of the story the lilin demons their connection to trees serpents forbidden knowledge this whole spiel even in the Kabbalah teachings the serpent is heavily implied to be Lilith
Actually it wouldn't be Jesus nobody would ever have called him that would have been Yeshua and it wouldn't have been of Nazareth it would have been of Bethlehem Bethlehem means the House of Bread so Yeshua the baker who's covered in oil as Cristos means the anointed one as in Anointed with oils yeah secret oils that cost a s*** ton of money back then
Again drawing from the Hebrew it makes sense why they depict Lucifer as being attractive as he is the angel samael samael is the most beautiful and all of Heaven this is according to the Jewish Kabbalah teachings
If I'm not mistaken it's depicted as a fig the fruit of the tree and the other one is depicted as a date
What about the "apocryphal" texts like The Book of Enoch Or the gnostics or the monophysite beliefs each one of them had their own variations and their own books But then again if you want a more detailed story of the flood the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Utnapishtim
I think the victim here is the snake. He was just hanging out when satan took over his body.
26:42 hah you're from the berenstain universe, too!
It was Aaron who threw down his staff then it turned into a snake
The Bible does talk about Noah sending out birds though
you're being racist towards demons ,wearing that red face .
I wasn't religious 'til I watched this. I worship your cosplay skills now. Also the video stopped to buffer right as you asked Jesus to explain the trinity. I spewed milk on my screen.
amanita muscaria mushrooms were the lamb of god
i came up with that myself (i was stoned on lsd at the time) but the more i think about it i think its true and im not the only one and yes you can use that for a video
The fucking "THAT'S TRUE" from the angelica initiative.
The original Hebrew for Exodus 7:10-12 says Aaron's staff turned into a "תנין", which actually means crocodile/alligator. Source: I am a Hebrew speaker and own a copy of the Hebrew bible.
6:00. Saying apples tasted like dirt is very America-centric. There were good apple cultivars for thousands of years in Asia and Europe. Settlers to America planted seeds instead of grafting apple trees, which lead to unpalatable apples.
7 of the "clean beasts" and the birds, 2 of the "unclean beasts"
The rejection of Lilith, from what I have read, is due to disgust, the fact that Adam saw her created from bone, and all subsequent layers, in front of him, and was unable to reconcile her actual beauty with the vision of her creation, not some sort of patriarchal rejection... To note, Lilith went on to birth all lower demons, the actors upon the mortal plane that affect humanity... According to the fairy tales that is...
Another Noah correction—it was 2 each of the clean animals and 7 each of the unclean: “You shall take with you SEVEN each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2-3)
By a very very loose interpretation of the New Testament, subscribing to Jesus Christ might be enough to punch your ticket to heaven.
Would love your look at the book of Enoch That would be interesting Love your work Keep it up and thank you
Bible doesn't say Satan is Ugly - says he's a "Angel of Light" to deceive. A Ugly Monster, Red Devil, with a tail not deceive many.
You sir, just got a subscriber.
@ 3:05 Aaron's "Rod" swallowed up their "Rods!"
not an apple... but my golden greek/norse noch apple thing of the gods!
because aarons people are the chosen ones and the j dont like that because aarons people are etheopean
I just want to point out that if you read all of Genesis 2, it's basically retelling the creation story. Verse 4 starts out by saying that it is the story about creation. Verse 5 is before there plants on the earth, and before there were people to care for the plants, which already happened in chapter 1.
ROD
Dude the birds thing was in the bible.
10:10 And here we get into the territory I know Stand back, I'm a Shin Megami Tensei player Beelzebub also known as Baal or Baalzebul, the king of Baal was well versed in medicines and healing. Baalzebul is a derogatory nicknamed which can mean lord of flies or lord of dung. Take this information with a grain of salt and correct me with as much salt as you feel is necessary, since this information is something I heard a while ago and may not be fully correct. I think it's from Encyclopaedia Demonica. The design of Beelzebub in that book is a fly bearing a skull and crossbones in its wings.
This Jesus is from Fiverrrrr
The official original King James Version? Do please tell me that you meant that as a joke. I really believe you did because the official original version isn't even in English. It is an ancient Hebrew. While your average citizen of Israel can read it they're probably not even saying the words the way they were said back in the day. The King James version is a very political translation that was meant to be anti-papist. Something about James being a Protestant and he didn't want to use a Catholic Bible anymore.
Well done KB... Well done.
Hey bud, why do you take great pains to watch what you say in terms of race or causing offence to different groups, but then just chuck in an Irish potato joke? Its funny sure, but shouldn't you apply your standards equally? I'm genuinely interested in the perspective.
it was 7 pairs of clean animals and berbs and 1 pair of unclean animals (carnivores, etc.) Apple in old english meant any fruit....not a modern apple...its also theorized that the sign was a metaphor for sexual things...as the punishments for that sin were all sexual in nature. Also christ said, cain was son of satan. Yes that can happen. ANd no satan being perfect, started in Bible, being the most high angel, the light bringer. None of the levels of angels are in bible. There are levels of demons, the powers, principalities etc. so demons do have dominion over realms on earth, much like satan is the power of the air. My personal belief is that Christ is god in time...aka the present, whenever that happens to be. The father is god outside time in eternity...and holy spirit is working throughout future. Ans yes, you are going to hell. And no...angels and got exist outside time...my personal belief...Satan doesnt fall to earth till the first day of the apocalypse...thinking 2030. In Job he can still go before god to argue against humans. Pfft Milton's and Dante's versions...the Bible is SOOO much more interesting...demons who mated with women to produce giants....who would corrupt all flesh to extinction...which is why flood happened, and our days will be like that.
9:17 you look like a gay caesar.
The Bible is an inconsistent but interesting read. A lot of the reasons why is because of how much it’s been edited, changed and altered from the original scriptures. Lilith is one of many things you won’t find in the Bible. There’s also the Book of Enoch, which sort of goes into detail on how the world got so messed up to the point that God had to resort to the flood, like where the name and character Azazel and the Nephilim came from. Don’t even get me started on those stories involving kid Jesus. Those are pretty wild, too.
My pastor does not believe that you should take the Bible literally. I like her
most smooth transition to a commercial ever
I like this casual discussion of the biblical canon as if it where another fictional story instead of having to walk on eggshells to avoid blasphemy while discussing it. It makes all this really engaging.
Thing is...the story of Eve sounds like every woman on Earth. Except for Moms.
The holy spirit is not hard to explain if you know it
Unrelated joke ahead: Mohammed: Please refrain from drinking. Judaism: You are aloud to drink, but keep it in moderation. Jesus: *My blood is fucking wine!*
I'm not religious, though I'm not an athiest either, I don't know what will happen when I die and such, I do have some conservative values, but I don't think being religious is important in my life, though I get it, that being said. Should I read the Bible?
Which will wipe out every living thing in the gala, on Earth, on Earth...
