My father died in 1990 when he was just 49.... My mother chose cremation for him, and I made the decision to have his ashes poured into a popular lake in the city which is a place I visit regularly to walk, and lots of people go there to walk, jog, and many people feed the ducks & swans... Not even sure it was legal to do that, but I was 26 at the time, and I just had to make a decision, and my family said that was a good idea too, so that is where my father has been ever since.... and we still go to that Downtown Lake a few times a year.... Now my mother just turned 80, and she has always told me that she wants to be cremated when she dies someday and poured in the same exact spot in the lake, and I still remember the exact spot.... Hopefully, my mother will live to 100 I tell her.... As for myself, well, I do not know what to do when I die someday... Cremation freaks me out, but so does being dead in a coffin... Good Grief.

I was just a junior high school student when i thought I would complete the whole bible and came across this story. I was traumatized by the story and didnt know who to tell about it. It was vey hard for me to go through it again. I can never go through that chapter again.

Not seven deadly sexual sins, just two: sexual immorality and adultery.

Thanks for sharing this shocking story and the valuable lessons brother. Good job!

What happened to the daughter of the old man though? The one that was also sent with the concubine to be raped by those demons?

Jesus is the truth everything else is the deception. ....choose wisely folks. ... no middle ground. Jesus

In addition, it was a man's world and women were nothing in that world. Protect the man from Efraim but r*pe the concubine. Unbelievable. And you don't have to see women as your daughter or sister. Just fellow human beings, that's all.

Bible is simply a collection of books written purely by men, no where does GOD SAY its from him.

I think smoking majuariana isn't a sin. First. ......the Bible says to be of sober mind. Like with any substance it can be over done. Even water can kill you when over done. One chooses how one thinks and behaves when using a substance. They choose how much to use and to over do it if they choose. Cannabis is not like alcohol. Medicinally it has allowed me to complete get off of Blood pressure medication, anxiety and depression medications, high cholesterol medications, I was over weight and now I am a healthy weight. I know how to dose it like any medications. If putting a substance in your body that alters it is a sin then there are many many many people sinning. It is all sbout focus, what you think, and how you think.

There's nothing wrong with it but if it bothers you then don't do it

Shocks me that there are concourses of Angels , with God. not one is recorded in the Bible was recorded to save.There are Angels that come to do wrestling training, another to tell your wife at an old age shes going to have babies, another angel to say that your going to have son but dont cut his hair. Yet we have serious accounts here that need addressing

I know of people that read the Bible, and dont want to have anything to do with any church. Many stories are in the bIble , about destroying soddom an gomorrah , then the family is having a party in the cave . not to mention the Prophet Moses going through the wilderness, but when they chance upon villiages , they kill men, women, and the little children, they steal their live stocks, which is in the Bible. How should we live? knowing this.

Judges 19 and Genesis 19 are absolutely disturbing

So much of these Bible stories have been misinterpreted from their original language. So, there's hidden moralizing messages that have been lost in time. Some key phrases that should be analyzed more deeply: "Nothing like this has happened, since the Israelites first came out of Egypt" Depending on the translation, one might be tempted to assume this meant similar vile sinful acts were talking place in Egypt. However the more accurate translation reveals, that *after* the Israelites left Egypt and were wandering without a kingdom nor a king for 40 years, is when they lost culture, customs, religious beliefs and digressed into nomadic barbarianism. Patriarchal rule unrestrained and without proper leadership. This is when and how chaos and rampant sin became customary. Examples are "taking a wife" involved practices like purchasing or kidnapping a human being for the purpose of abusing her as a sex and breeding slave. Let that sink in. That's not reflective of any previous traditions around courting, requesting an elder approved marriage, having a religious ceremony etc etc... That's committing many vile sins and pretending that putting the label, "marriage" and "wife" on them, makes these acts less criminal and unholy. The repeated references to things degrading because they are "without a king" likely has a specific meaning. Again, in Egypt is where this tribe of waring bandits, who's homelands had sunk into the Mediterranean and they came to the Great Kingdom of Egypt with weapons in hand and violence in mind... Instead of being slaughtered by the Egyptian army, as would be proper and just, they were granted, "the mercy of the Pharaoh" and let to live with a short criminal sentence as a "slave". (Look into this position in Egypt at this time. "slave" class, meant they had an under 4 hour shift of rigorous manual labor 3-6 days a week, 2 hours of trade school, and an hour of language, culture and spiritual growth classes, 1-3 days off weekly, and were fed lavishly 3+ times a day! As is quoted many times, they lived and ate better as "slaves" in Egypt than they ever did afterwards, but even than they ever had *before* coming to Egypt) So this concept of being "without a king" referred to being without the Pharaoh. (The Pharaoh was accepted as a living incarnation of The Divine. The individual ruler never made selfish or egotistical decisions. As their soul would be judged harshly by God directly during life and even moreso after life, on very single choice and action made, measured by how it effected all the peoples of all of Egypt. Let that sink in. As this concept has influenced many Bible passages that remain confusing and mistranslated due to this confusion) So to be a people existing without a king, meant without rule, without a representative of God, without benevolent and responsible leadership and an absence of rule without this crucial spiritual and parental love in the oversight. The next revelation that most readers should conclude is that these are warnings about what happens to overly male dominated societies that have removed women from not only leadership but even considering their basic human rights. Again in Egypt, the Israelites were living in a balanced culture, where even the position of Pharaoh themselves had been held by women many times, and when held by a man, considered the well-being, needs and perspectives of females as equal to those of males. This is exemplified by the scene where the man of the house, offers the group of savage rapists all the women in the house, even his own daughter, over a stranger just because he's a man. Then the message continues throughout the passage with the results being pointed out that, in this unsustainable male dominated rule, and sinful rape culture... the end results is a diminishing population of only men, about to go extinct. This is to reiterate the end results of the unchecked and disconnected from God, "male ego", is to be without the blessings and guidance of women, so they will go extinct, which is just and is God's plan for them to end their sinful ways. The scene where other groups of men are trying to set up a trap for their own daughters, for those men going extinct due to their own sinful ways, to instead kidnap their daughters for the purpose of keeping them as rape and breeding slaves... Is a message about how far the unchecked and disconnected from God sinful male ego can go. What isn't made clear in this video is that, although this tribe does not go extinct in this chapter... They are cursed for their future history and many generations, as are all of the tribes of Israel at this time, for collusion against God's will and plan. This main point, was conveniently omitted and mistranslated. Throughout the entire Middle Eastern region and much of the world, after intense geological shifts due to severe climate change... The majority of societies shifted from settled to nomadic. As they went in search of resources. This shift was a vicious temptation into every type of sin that comes from the male ego unrestrained, and the most unhealthy expressions of an unchecked male dominated barbarianism. Prior to this time period the entire region and most of the world, built highly functional and sustainable civilizations and pre-civilizations all under forms of matriarchal rule. The older translations of the Bible are full of subliminal, and direct references, to the downfall of civilized culture, pulling away from God and dissolving into unrestrained sinning, all caused from switching to an abusive patriarchal rule over the traditional models of matriarchal rule that had always included the male needs and perspectives, so had remained functional and beneficial to humanity for tens of thousands of years. Only this brutal climate change had allowed for the loss of established sustainable societies and dissolving of the previously held rule under God. (Various cultures had their own version of God, however the concepts and rules of culture had more similarities than differences globally) This Bible passage is to warn what happens to groups of people without a settled and strong culture that's developed under God from benevolent intentions and long term sustainability as the underlying guide. The key factor being a leadership that keeps a priority on women's needs and includes their perspectives over solely catering to the unchecked male ego.

shroud of turin image (Newsmax magazine) April 2024

God spoke the universe into existence from nothing. He created man from nothing and women from mans rib. How hard do you think it would be for him to give you a new body. Clinging to the old corrupt flesh and blood of our physical bodies hoping god will recycle them is funny. Lol

👏👏👏👏 I applaud you for smartly summarizing this chapter. Besides your narrative skills, your pedagogical approach to the lesson taught is another thing that appealed to my heart. Respect 🫡

If homosexuality is such a horrible sin, why is it so common among priests, men of God?

😳

I think you need to go back, and really look at your history. It was not the Ancient Hebrew Israelites. It's when start to mix with people we shouldn't have. When Yahweh, told us not to. And we were hard-headed then.

Like traveling through Chicago at night...

God created mankind’s. God did not stop creating mankind’s after he created Adam. He created them after our image. Plural statement. Therefore, we are not all from the same family. The children of Adam could have taken wives from the other mankind’s or from their own mankind. It is also possible that the later generations may have interbred with animals such as the apes. Genetics says that a mankind trapped in Africa was a common ancestor which interbred with apes producing hybrid ape man in Africa.

Why would the Benjamins even want to sex a man if they all had wives and all raped 1 woman is madness

Change the zoom effect, its physically upsetting.

The bible encounters much violence and sexual immorality. Its not appropriate for children, until they are over 18. Even rhen some of it is very disturbing

We should read the Bible with an open mind of learning the whats and why, not to read it with emotions aligned with our country's constitutions

The opposite traits of the husbands is a hint of Jesus The Perfect Husband of the church. Jesus didn’t sacrifices His bride as the husband in judges, instead He sacrifices Himself and cut His body for the salvation of the church

Very confused. Firstly it was a Levite man wanting to be with his apparently unfaithful concubine? (Why?) and then he left and he has servants and a different concubine? Is the man who was seeking his previous wife/concubine the master? Where did he get the new concubine? (After he left the father’s house) and where did these slaves come from? And in the end what I got from this is that it is always the women that get treated poorly! It’s still happening now in some religious practices. When are women going to be treated with respect as god wishes all of his children to be treated well.

Mother Mary is very holy catholic Church

These chapters reflect how dark humanity can go. The Levite’s problem became the nations problem and the consequences were dire 😢 for every Israelite. These chapters don’t only reflect Benjamin’s sin, but also the concubines, the Levite man, those that killed grieved and to alleviate their grief allowed women to be taken as property without their father’s consent. It is a very dark tale with elements that are echoed in other parts of the Bible, the Levite went to Bethlehem to restore the concubine who was unfaithful. Joseph took his wife Mary to Bethlehem to register for the census ordered by Caesar Augustus, Joseph also had to deal with the fact that his wife was heavily pregnant with God’s son… that would have taken faith to accept.

Glad im muslim , this story is really something 😢 this is why i dont trust the bibles translation from aramiac to greek to latin to english You are loosing a lot of info in this story , why dident the man be a man and face the men and why where the wrong people punished how can you wait inside that house , having jewsih lineage from the tribe of Asher this story troubles me

I believed Mary as mother of our Lord Jesus Christ,as her obedient to the well of Heavenly Father God,to give birth of our saviour Jesus Christ and raised Him until His crufixion in calvary,and Mary was called blessed are you among womens as the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ

Luke 1-46 Mary's Savior is Jesus Christ.

Paintings reveal, many men wearing spectacles, in the 1st century A.D.!!!!!!!Paintings also reveal, many men, wearing the crucifix symbol on their head gear, even when Jesus was still alive, and not yet crucified. The cross became a holy symbol, only many years, after the crucifixion.

Finnaly a preacher I could listen to I hate pastors talk a lot of bs but yeah I watched your video you call God I call karma

same story with Lot

Well put....thanks!

So, once upon a time, there was a very strong guy, and his hair was cut, then he was a very weak guy. Hard to believe that some people actually believe this stuff.

Our Lord is King

"and everyman did what was right in his own eyes."

Even up to this day in some countries men treat women as property.

It is a story , Nothing more than fiction , and as its concentrated to the bible you know nothing in it is more than imbeciles in the middle east who during biblical claimed times where still throwing faecal matter at each other. Meanwhile in Australia , 65,000 years of civilisation and culture proves no religious claims on earth are true , Otherwise all those gods would have come to Australia to my people first, Instead hominids barely out of primate stance. Apologise to the Australian Aboriginal people for being a racist.
