Eh?

Thank you and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

🥱

Nah. But thanks for sharing ✌🏻

lol thanks for sharing ✌🏻🔥

I think ye be a troll....

Also, if the Bible were literal and true, you and everyone who claims alleigence to it's god are going to hell, you realize that right? The Bible has changed with every single iteration of it. Where in the Bible does it say pick and choose what you like about Bible and discount the rest?

It wasn’t really an apologist tirade … he said he was giving his opinion - nothing wrong with what he shared especially when it was prefaced with, “this is my opinion”. ✌🏻

You mad? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast no, simply aware of the demonstrably awful things religion has done throughout human history. The contents of the bible is one of the ideologically worst offenders... let alone what was done in it's name. .

Sure but I think it all depends on how you see the Bible and use it. I don’t see it as an inerrant or perfect Word of God, but as a collection of writings depicting people who were trying to walk with God over the course of thousands of years - sometimes they said things that made sense and other times they said things that were crazy. Either way, I think we can learn from it as we develop our own walk with God or without God or wherever our journeys take us. But I get where you’re coming from, thanks for sharing ✌🏻

Let it be done Amen 🤘🏼

Religion can be split, Imho, positive or negative. Islam is warlike, says to enslave, tax, or kill any who will not convert. Voodoo , Santaria, and black Magic religions can murder people (look up "voodoo death due to cardiac arrhythmias" ) or use fear to control, intimidate, or extort money. Not so with Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism. Only the most extreme fundamentalist Christian sects serve God because of the fear of hell. The rest serve Him because His nature is Love Itself ( a whole 'nother rabbit hole) abd they serve Him by recognizing they could always do better for their Coach who promises (and delivers) blessings if they do. The Bible contains wisdom so deep J. Peterson and ? J Pageau can discuss the book of Genesis for 2+ hours. The Bibld contains tremendous scientific wisdom hidden in ritual and alluded to ( non-dominant hemispheric information processing which cannot easily be put into words) Non-poetic facts: soap manufacture and use by scrubbing with water before eating, avoiding trichanosis and the slaughter of highly intelligent animals just for bacon and ham, not eating filter feeders 14:07 which harbor viruses, vibrios, red tide toxins, and coliform washed into the sea. Managing menstrual blood and feces is prescribed to avoid spreading disease. Throughly cooking meat, plant crop rotation and fallowing a field with salt to avoid soil diseases and kill weed seeds. Using signs to time planting to optimum times, not consuming the blood of animals to avoid catching blood borne pathogens. The slaughter of every Caananite infant and child has blessed all humankind because many carried untreatable congenital illnesses and STDs when no method to tell those with and without those illnesses. Same with the diseases in MSM and prostitutes, but not in virgins, whose exra-societal DNA limited the effects of a closed society where inbreeding would occur. Advice to young men of the sexual traps women can set for them is spelled out in Proverbs. What to expect in a man after sex us explains on the Song of Songs. Imago Dei is a stupid concept scientifically as there are always some people who contribute more to society and others are a drain. Social Darwinism was the norm everywhere except the Western Enlightenment. Kings made eunuchs, boys ok for adult males to use for sex, forbidden. Societies which considered women equal to men morally and judicially was utterly unheard of in other parts of the world where powerful males dominate. Kill the Bible, you lose all this. Remove all art and poetry and literature, churches and cathedrals, and atheists say the world will be better. No Stonehenge, and Michaelangelo's David, bothers me greatly. Your thoughts?

I’m assuming you have some scholarly input to refute the points he makes in the video/book? Or you just here to make noise?

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast since I typed my input there was no noise. And everyone knows the best hash in the world comes from Syria.

@@MarkJones-fw3mosorry, since it’s not self-explanatory - you here to make (keyboard) noise? (Rhetorical question, no need to respond)

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast since you asked for me not to respond this is my response.

@@MarkJones-fw3mowonderful, thanks for not watching and dropping in to not share your thoughts ✌🏻

✌🏻

Eh?

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast This argument was made before in the white goddess, for the same reasons. The author had an ideological need to reinterpret old evidence to build a theology that conformed to his prejudices.

@@BardChords so you’ve read the book?

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast The white goddess? Yeah. The book written by your guest? No. It is a common misconception you have to read books to judge them, you can usually get a very accurate judgment just from reading the cover, with the amazon blurb serving as the back cover in a digital format.

@@WhatIfProjectPodcast I didn't want you to dismiss my book-judging strategy out of hand, so I looked at it again. The book by your author was printed by Keneh Press, a subsidiary of Keneh Ventures, which funds media properties that promote cannabis use. It is revisionist history funded by industry money. Think about how much time you could save if you adopted my strategy. Life is short, there are only so many books to read and you must re-read the best ones periodically, so tactics like this can save lifetimes of misspent reading time.

lol thanks for sharing ✌🏻

What are you talking about 🤷🏻‍♂️

The grief is very real, especially for those of us who had a "daily connection" with the Bible. Glad this spoke to you!

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing, glad to be on the journey with you.

Thanks for sharing my friend - always glad to be on the journey with you!

blessed.vigil on Instagram 👍🏻

We’re obviously working under the assumption that agrees with most scholarship, that Jesus did exist.

Very true 💔🙏🏻

Excellent! Thanks for watching ❤️🙏🏻
