That part of David's story is downplayed HARD compared to the rest of this life. Just saying. The version I learned was essentially "whoops he done goofed lol" as we spent not even 15 minutes on it. The story of him vs Goliath was several classes long.

[@stevezane68]

Bang on. I’m a Christian, this has been taught in my church plenty of times. That’s the point of the story, he committed murder and adultery but he repented but it had ramifications that went through his genealogy just like God told him. Because of that transgression one of his sons raped one of his daughters to another wife and then his own son Absolom rose up to rebel and try and take his kingdom.

The Bible does not condone slavery. What is termed slavery in the Old Testament is indebted servitude and on the year of Jubilee they were all set free unless they chose to remain. It was a way of paying debts that couldn’t otherwise be paid.

Listen... Upon character based philosophical and ethical deconstruction, the ONLY conclusion that you can come to is that the bible is SO GROSSLY morally and ethically inconsistent that in truth (and I know this is difficult to hear), it doesn't deserve the moral pedestal that's often thrust upon it... The bible's moral spectrum ranges from murderous baby killing genocide to societal pacifism and everything else in between... You can't depend on that in our modern age without cherry picking scripture to suit YOUR ideals... If both a genocidal maniac and pacifist can use scripture to validate their point of views with so called "Godly approval" then it tells you everything you need to know... The bible is ethically inconsistent and anachronistic, that's a FACT not an opinion... Which is the subtext of the conversation.

[@xendarcodm]

The Bible doesn’t condone slavery. It produced the first thoughts of freedom. The whole story of Moses was about Israel being set free from slavery. If someone was sold into slavery it was temporary until Jubilee and it wasn’t really based upon race as much. Paul wrote a letter asking that a friend who was a slave be set free and giving a reason was that God doesn’t see slave or slave owner, He just sees people. Martin Luther King Jr used the Bible as the tool to teach the value of his race to the world.

[@Jacob-ed1bl]

😂Top tier clown comment, it literally gives instructions. The Bible is a freaking joke.

[@singed8853]

It instructs people how to enslave others. It's horrible. And no, it did not produce 'the first thoughts of freedom'. There is zero reason to believe people haven't valued freedom from the birth of this species. Even a dog values its freedom. And beyond that, there are texts and scriptures more ancient than the bible in Asia that talked about a variety of topics including freedom - without endorsing or instructing people how to enslave others. Those texts had a fundamental principle of 'do no harm' that the Bible lacks.

[@user-mh5qg5jb7d]

The old testament did condone slavery. It also condoned the killing of your own child if they were rebellious. It is a book of fiction, written by men at a time they thought the earth was flat.

some big discrepancies in the telling of the story of Tamar. After Judah lost his second son. His last son wasn't given to Tamar for two reasons, one, he was too young and the second is because Judah was afraid he might loose his last son. So he didn't promise Tamar that she will be the wife of his last son for these two reasons and not the one reason mentioned in the video. Tamar went back to her home as instructed by Judah, again that is all that Judah does, he instructs her to go and wait at her fathers house. Tamar while at her fathers home wore cloths that is synonyms for someone who is a widow and grieving. She finds out that Judah is coming to where her fathers home is because he wants to sheer his sheep, upon hearing this Tamar has a plan. She knows that she isn't pledged to Judah's last son and she wants to take it upon herself to get pregnant. So she takes for cloths that are meant for grieving and switches them for cloths that is synonyms for a prostitute at that time. Main point here is that she is wearing a head veil and as such no one can see her face. Judah walks into this town/village and sees this prostitute who is wearing a veil and he asks to sleep with her. This is where the video goes off the rails. She asks Judah what she will get in return for sleeping with him and she knows that this is her father in law and he doesn't know who she is. He says he will give her one of his sheep in his village/camp. Judah isn't at his camp/village, so this is supposed to be a promise for future payment. She asks him for a guarantee for this payment. He asks what she wants and she says she wants a seal with his cord and his staff. He agrees and he sleeps with her. Judah didn't sleep with her and not have payment, they discussed how Judah will pay her and she played him in this part of the story. Tamar isn't this poor innocent person and neither is Judah. So she goes back to her fathers home and switches into her cloths meant for grieving. Judah returns to his camp and sends a friend to pay her but he cannot find her and he returns to Judah and tells him that she cannot be found. He is embarrassed that she has his seal and staff. But he makes peace with the idea that she has stolen it. We all now know that this was Tamar's plan, she didn't want a sheep, she was playing Judah and got proof of the person she slept with. The video made it sound like Tamar became a prostitute because she wanted to make a living. This isn't true, she wanted to get pregnant from sleeping with her father-in-law. Plain and simple. She got pregnant and Judah is told that Tamar is found to be pregnant and the assertion is that she prostituted herself. Judah wants her killed but before she is killed she sends him his staff and seal. Tamar honey potted Judah and got what she felt she deserved. Moral of the story. Men need to keep it in their pants coz women who are just selling sex cannot be trusted. The other moral of the story is do what is right, Judah in his fear doesn't give assurances to Tamar that she will be married off, so when he didn't do that the rest of the story played out as it did. Judah is also the same guy who earlier discouraged his brothers from killing Joseph but instead mentioned to have him sold. Joseph lived and as per what is said in the bible he became the second highest in Egypt and also saved Egypt and his family from starvation. So Judah is seen as someone who loved his family when the rest of them were okay with killing one of them. He isn't perfect but neither is Tamar and all of them played their role.

[@bernardlazare9424]

Well put , also by God's providence Tamar gives Birth to Twins, Perez and Zerah, which from Judas line Comes King David, and ultimately our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God is Sovereign over all, as Joseph said to his Brother's you meant it for evil but God meant it for good

[@bayg6703]

im confused. Did Tamar had sex with her Father in law or played like she did??? And y he didn't go see Tamar back at her father house after he had sex with the "prosistute"( or he didnt)🤷

[@loganwallace5854]

Also, it was Judah's duty as the patriarch to ensure his oldest son's lineage continued because he didn't have children before he died. That's why Tamar married his next son. But their first child would've been counted as the oldest son's to ensure his lineage continued. The brother didn't like that and refused to get her pregnant and the Lord killed him. Thus the duty of continuing the Judah's oldest son's lineage fell to his youngest son. This also was the custom so that that the Tamar would be provided for. Most marriages were arranged anyways back then so this wasn't that strange. After Judah's youngest son became of age Judah shirked his duty to both provide for Tamar and ensure his eldest son's lineage out of fear that the Lord would kill that son too. (The Lord struck down his oldest son because he was wicked). What Tamar did was take it apon herself to both provide for herself and ensure her first husband's lineage. So, Tamar and Judah both sinned by fornicating but she did it for somewhat honorable reasons to pick up Judah's slack. So when Judah went to lead the stoning of her for prostituting (with him) she showed that he was lacking in his duties and morals and was more righteous than he.

[@TheFergo911]

@@loganwallace5854 a bit mistaken here. His youngest son wasn't of age at any point in this story. Tamar assumed that Jacob wasn't going to allow his youngest to be married to her. This was her reasoning for deceiving Jacob. They were both in the wrong but Jacob says that she was more righteous than him. So the assumption here is that Jacob knew he didn't betroth his youngest son to Tamar as he was afraid he too will be killed. But they both are wrong for what they did. Who knows if Tamar even cared for any of Jacob's children. If she was married to one of them is all she wanted. Key part here is that Jacob's youngest son wasn't of age to get married throughout the story but it is revealed that Jacob's only reason was probably that he was afraid his son would be killed for the same reasons.

[@loganwallace5854]

@@TheFergo911 When Judah met Tamar and thought she was a prostitute, she saw that the youngest son was grown and wasn't given to her to marry as Judah had promised her. She had her grieving veil own and he came and asked to sleep with her. He acknowledged that he reneged on his promise to to her.

Here’s another interesting and violent Bible story for the comment section. There was a leader of the Canaanite army named Sisera. He and his soldiers were fighting against the Israelites under a leader named Barak. Sisera’s army fell and all of them were killed, but Sisera himself ran away. A lady named Jael saw him outside her house and she told him to come inside, that she was a friend and would protect him. He went in with her and she gave him milk to drink and a blanket. He told her to watch the door, and if anyone came by, to say that she was alone in the house. She agreed to this and Sisera laid on the floor with the blanket and fell asleep. Jael then took a hammer and nail, while Sisera was asleep, and drove it through his temple and nailed his head to the floor of her house. She left him just like that, and eventually Barak came by, still hunting Sisera. Jael met Sisera outside and told him she had the man he was looking for, and led him to the dead Sisera, his head still spiked to the floor. Edit: Judges 4:14-22 if you want to read it for yourself

Job ends up suffering beyond belief physically also (soars head to foot, insomnia) Job ends up in the end getting a lesson from God, which is very interesting to read, and having an even larger family and an even happier and extended life, that has not happened to me yet and it probably won’t

No matter how important to God plan you are or are not, we all fall short of what it takes to get into Heaven.

Not true the Bible clearly condones slavery as a perfect moral practice .

Also In Leviticus God says "if a man lay with a man like he lay with a women he shall be put to death and his blood is on his own hands " Clear as day !! Also to stone to death unruly children and women who cheat on their husbands . The Bible condoning murder and sitting it's own laws in place that it Deems morally acceptable . The term they use is slavery so Christian apologist have a hard time getting around it . Also it doesn't explain after God delivered mosses to the supposed promise land he then orders Moses and the Jews to slaughter the amolokites and amedenites and to take the women and children for themselves as slaves and to capture and take what's their and go to war with the neighboring nations around them .

The story you referenced about King David is about repentance and forgiveness. God used many people throughout the Bible who were imperfect because we all are sinners. Becoming a believer in Christ doesn’t mean we will no longer sin. Only Christ could live a perfect life. God’s grace and mercy is new each and every day if we repent of our sins. We may still suffer consequences here on earth for those actions despite being forgiven. It’s important to note that we grow as Christians and God promises to continue working with us as we grow in our faith. David repented, but still suffered earthly consequences.

[@dtherealone]

Joe blowing smoke in her face 🤣🤣🤣

[@jc-rq8or]

I grew up in church and the only stories that weren't taught were 2 in i think Judges. The first is were a crowd demanded that a stranger in town be given to them so they could rape him, but the man hosting the stranger instead gave them his female servant. So they beat and gang raped the girl and afterwards, she crawls back to her masters house and dies outside his front door. If i remember right, this starts a big conflict where cities go to war with one another. The second is when a man prays to God for victory in battle and promises to sacrifice the first thing that approaches him when he gets home. So after the fight his daughter who is his only child is the first to approach him. He then lets his daughter go and grieve her virginity on a mountain with her friends for a time, and when she returns he sacrifices her.

[@_Jay_Maker_]

That first one is essentially a representation of the historicity of God separating himself from Israel. The woman being raped by strangers and then murdered by her master (literally dismembered and her parts sent across all of Israel) is one of the strongest examples of how far the culture had fallen at the time, "that such a thing could happen here" is basically what everyone's response was, which is why conflict arose from it. The heaviest aspect of it being that the woman's master had become so callous that he didn't just let her die on his doorstep, he disrespected her corpse and let everyone else know about it. It was one of the ultimate examples of the fall from grace at that time in the nation's history.

Something Joe says toward the end really applies - when you are reading the Bible (or really any literature) you have to apply a “filter” or lens. If you only view the Bible as teaching moral lessons, you will often miss the meaning. A better question to ask is “what is this teaching about Who God is?” God did not instruct David to sin w Bathsheba, nor Judah to sleep with his daughter in law, but that is what happened. It is recording these incidents as historical narrative - people of God living, making mistakes, and often suffering consequences of turning, and blessings of living in relationship w God and his people. The speaker somewhat downplays the genealogies, but the fact that BOTH stories are referenced in Matthew 1, the ancestry of Jesus, is extremely significant. The Bible is not trying to hide these incidents - rather highlighting them! In that Matthew 1 text, 5 women appear listed in 42 name, which culturally was not done. Only men’s names were seen as significant at that time - but opposing Joe’s point, these women were highly valued and looked too as hero’s of the faith. Because the author references 4 scandalous women, who actually had faith in God through difficult situations, sets up the reader to expect, God has a history of working through what would seem like scandalous (yet faithful women). now there was this woman Mary - she was a virgin… The two stores that are referenced are not necessarily well known today, but they are in no way hidden! They anchor the lineage of Christ in and amidst lots of sin and brokenness, and God’s faithfulness on display. It makes sense that Jesus would become the Savior for sinners - it’s in his blood.
