[@rakchazakamats9404]

This guy is one of my favorites to learn from. I wish so bad I could have an instructor like him and just sit and talk with him.

[@damianmorales9683]

me too i love watching him and i’m able to understand him so well

[@telanasteward]

I loved this man’s lectures from Hillsdale College. I watched all the free ones ! I was so hoping he would do more!

[@guitarh3ro123]

How do you get the free ones?? I don't want to sign up or anything if I don't have to :/

[@telanasteward]

@@guitarh3ro123 I went to Hillsdale college website. And searched for free courses; they have you create and account with just your email, and then all sorts of free courses are listed. Got some amazing stuff.

[@AdamAdam-le3pm]

dude just blew my mind with the concept of A Satan and not just Satan as its own individual entity

[@jameshorton9717]

Fantastic explanation. I have take your courses online. The Genesis Story, the Exodus Story and the David Story.

[@vaquera9368]

Love it. Thank you so much for posting this. Christians give Satan to much power for this and that where Jews see HaSatan as bringing you closer to God because of the trials we overcome.

[@wandatorres1628]

I love this man!!!!!

[@levirobbins8395]

Thanks

[@anitaisrael]

Can you Explain Deuteronomy 28 vs 68 Dr Jackson ?

[@JohnnyJackson746]

Seems interesting

wow fantastic....i love the catholic church but..we need more depth, like this of understanding....some of these Christian pastors today are not expressing SIN, EQUALS DEATH, SEPERATION FROM GOD.

[@julieanderson7078]

I am not Catholic and never have gone through college except for a sign language course (many classes), I find Dr. Jackson fascinating! Also, to agree with the commenter, many pastor s do not speak of sin. They like to keep us happy! Good life that Jesus will give us. Of course our lives are wonderful because He is in us, but we are not promised uncomplicated lives.

[@Sssparkleii]

Do you have any lectures in regards to “serpent” raised on the staff in Numbers, and various other symbolism of serpent and Jesus?

[@claudiodelgado9073]

Doesn’t the Komodo dragon have snake like tongue and four feet.

[@kitkatb489]

I have thought the same. They can climb, etc. Plus the serpent is in the beginning (Genesis) and in the end (Revelation) we see the dragon again rising from his imprisonment. An imprisonment first mentioned in Genesis.

[@indecision3020]

A tenth of the angels? Where do you get that?

[@ty-chicalmes4642]

I think your char could use some oil, or securing of fasteners. It sounds a bit squeaky.

[@HigherPlanes]

Rabbi Mordechai Kraft also talks about Satan being sent on orders from God to test Adam and Eve. If you'll notice in Genesis he asks Adam and Eve if they had eaten from the tree, even though he knows the answer because he's God, but when he gets to Satan he doesn't ask, he says, "because you have done this."

[@russelldriver6394]

Why do people always try make hades or sheol something different than the grave. Gen 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave H7585 unto my son mourning. That same word Grave is translated into hell by doctrines of man, now Gehenna is an actual place you can visit today in Israel, amazing and yet they translated Gehenna which is the Valley of Hinnom into the word hell as well. Unreal how men have twisted Gods word to fit a narrative of eternal conscious torment which simply is not in the Bible. Then we get to the lake of fire - and all of a sudden, the Fire that has been spoken about through the whole old testament which is a refiners fire, a fire to purge the dross and tin off Israel to make them a Kingdom of Priests (Read Ezekiel chapter 22) is all of a sudden turned into literal fire by doctrines of men. Do your research people. God is Love and God is in the business of restoration and not eternal conscious torment.

The story in paradise lost is the Christian base? Satan being jealous of humans was a paradise lost concept not a biblical one I always found that weird

[@Newmoon19]

Whatt your stand on FLAT EARTHERS? i recommend you to watch Jeranism for flat Earth

[@cathleencumpton779]

Have you read the Bible?

[@raakmore4443]

Maybe the tree and the fruit are not really a tree and fruit. Maybe it's symbolism like revelations? If it's an actual place you would think we could still go to this garden in today's time? The serpent was Satan? We know he's not a literal snake but a beautiful falling angel?

[@peterm.eggers520]

The serpent is misinterpreted because of apparent redactions in the earliest Genesis scriptures that were formalized in the original 50 bibles of Eusebius of Caesarea, commissioned by Emporer Constantine I. Based on other Hebrew writings at the time Genesis was written, when God created man and woman, it was Adam and Lilth, created equal. But, they began quarreling immediately, and agreeing on little. Adam went to God and complained to God that Lilth was too disagreeable. God seeing Adam's distress, took a rib from Adam to create an obedient helper, Eve. Lilith didn't like this at all, and plotted to get rid of Eve by convincing her to eat the forbidden fruit. Eve tasting the fruit, instantly perceived her peril and ran to Adam to have him eat of the fruit and share in her fate. God learning of this disobedience, kicked Adam and Eve out of Eden which was a great disappointment to Him. That is when God in his anger over Lilith's treachery that corrupted Adam and Eve, turned Lilth into a snake ("The Serpent"), and cast her out as well. After this the stories of Lilth diverge, but she is often accused of birthing multitudes of demons, especially night demons.

If you have ever skinned snake you would see four limbs underneath the skin

[@peterm.eggers520]

Wrong! No snakes have limbs under the skin, though pythons and boas have vestigial hind limbs buried in muscle.

[@epiphani2276]

Sir I never leave comments on videos and I definitely never try to judge anyone or put them don’t but just wanted to leave you some feed back from my point of view and my opinion… I got this far because I saw a add were you were saying that god punished snakes to Crawl which (is what they already do) Geez you must be really embarrassed. I would assume that you would’ve learned your lesson from that and be a little bit more careful with your words And stop stating things as fact when you obviously didn’t even do it your own research because you’re on a platform that can influence a lot of people and it’s a huge responsibility that you should take a little bit more seriously I don’t know where you got all these facts your stating from ….maybe somebody told you these things and you just believe them without even verifying so if that is true think about how many people might take your word for fact you know. Common sense isn’t so common and I feel like you have a huge responsibility to make sure your not going to influence someone to believe something that a moron is telling them ..Google is really not that hard to find a educated answer to some of these questions your answering that seems like your just making shit up and winging it as u go
