Everything Wrong With Revelation 3 in the Bible

[@arliejefferson]

What surprises me the most about Revelation (so far) is that it portrays a vengeful Jesus, which is totally opposite of the loving compassionate turn-the-other-check Jesus that Christians talk about.

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

Martin Luther wanted to take it out of the Bible (along with Maccabees and a few other books he saw as irrelevant) for just that reason, but his council wouldn't agree to that.

[@lh1673]

Agree, and I also wonder if truly loving Jesus exists why he doesn’t care this Revelation book applied as one of his holy book!😅

[@tamiwatchesstuff]

[@TheLookingGlass001]

You have a very shallow idea of what the Bible is and leads me to believe all your knowledge of the Bible comes from videos such as these, though I could be wrong. The Word of God does not define God as being this threatening dark God and that if you don't worship Him you will burn in hell forever. I must ask, what gave you the impression that God is who you claim Him to be?

@EidelmaniaWho do you think was speaking in this? I tell you, it was a song written by Moses. Going back and reading the chapter it is clear that Moses was quite confident in his faith of God. If you read the full chapter it is a song about the power of God and His Just vengeance for His people. God does not go out of His way to kill willy-nilly; as mentioned, God is just and very much as reasons to cast judgement on people. Your example is invalid based on the lack of context, perspective, and reasoning. As much as you may try to find a fault in God, you will surely fail.

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

@Eidelmania I imagine that in Samuel L. Jackson's voice.

[@TheLookingGlass001]

@Eidelmania Yes, we all fall short to the glory of God and our works alone can't be our way to heaven. The Bible is clear that we were given a set of laws to follow which is also the standard God gave us, we failed to meet that standard and because we broke the law, we are to be punished for it. God warns us that hell is not a place for us, however, it is the only place where God doesn't go; so if we choose to live apart from God then God will respectfully allow us to live eternity without Him. It says in the Bible that God delays our judgement in hopes that He may not have to cut us off from Him. God truly loves us and has proven this through the death of His Son. If He wanted to force us to worship Him, He wouldn't have given us free will to choose and He wouldn't have had His Son sent to die in the first place.

A short story. The other day I got stuck on an elevator with a devoted Christian. He wanted to pass the time talking about talking to God. I told him I don't talk with God. He insisted. "If you did talk with God what would you like God to tell you?" I replied that I would like for God to tell me a joke. I said I could just imagine God sitting at a table, rolling His big sleeves up and saying, "Stop me if you've heard this one, So these two Jews walk into a bar......"

Religion is like a drug and people can become addicted to it just as easily. Like a drug, religion can give you a very real high, but it also comes with a community of people also imbibing from the holy bong and all of them are urging you to take another drag. If you hesitate or resist, they'll lay out the punishment . . . for NOT getting religiously wasted.

For full disclosure, I’m not Christian. I’m Baha’i. Revelations was revealed in a dream. A dream is generally fully symbolic. When they say alive and dead, they mean spiritually alive and dead. You can compare someone who is spiritually dead as a Christian who thinks they can justify hating lgbtq. There are layers to spiritual writings and sayings. One layer is the obvious literal meaning, but there is also spiritual layers. Those with ears to hear are listening to the deeper message of Jesus’ words, the underlying spiritual meaning. Revelations is about the return of Christ, which was Baha’u’llah. The new Jerusalem was Mount Carmel, which links back to the Book of Isaiah. Jesus’ new name is Baha’u’llah, which means The Glory of God, which also tracks back to the Old Testament. Those who are lukewarm are those who say they believe, but don’t follow his teachings of love for all people. The riches of Jesus are the spiritual qualities or human virtues. Religious or non-religious, we can all agree we should acquire good human qualities. The commentary in this video is humorous, but misguided. It doesn’t have to be so extreme an understanding. The basic message of all of this is telling them to be genuinely good, loving people and not hypocrites or just out for themselves. Twisting this message is just as bad for the religious and non-religious alike.

For so many years I always thought this was actually Jesus sending these messages in Rev. 2-3.

To me that's what the whole story is. The vision or point of view of this John.

@@Richard_Nickerson It’s not beside the point. Jesus isn’t saying “it’s Him”. The man who translated it said that.

I remember a long time ago reading a short article in Reader’s Digest about the Bible finally being translated in some remotely spoken language. The problem is the language it was being translated into didn’t have a word for lamb, because the community it was spoken in didn’t have lambs. So they came up with this general description of an animal like a lamb that they used in place of anywhere lamb occurred. That doesn’t make Jesus erring to use lamb and sheep to explain concepts when he was teaching the people. They were very familiar with lambs and sheep and they were metaphors the people of Jesus’ time understood.

Revelation is a book about a prophecy of what is to come and biblical scholars still are perplexed about this book, so for someone such as yourself making a video pointing out every wrong is like flat earthers pointing out everything wrong with astronomy, it's quite nonsensical to say the least. The Book of Revelation is a type of book that is exclusive for those who already have salvation and have faith in what the Bible says, after all "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." - Proverbs 9:10

You are the one who has a lack of understanding. Shoring up your statements with a quote from the Book of Lies has no value to people who don't believe in it. I don't know which Biblical scholars you think are perplexed by Revelation, there are a number of prominent respected ones (Ehrman, Carrier, etc. ) who are not perplexed at all and see it for what it is. Bible thumpers always want to give people their stupid book, because if we just read it, we would be converted and know the truth, but what you are saying is that we should ignore Revelation, because it's not for us, just for believers. What other parts of the Bible does this philosophy apply to ? Is it just Revelation, or are there other books in the Bible that are only for believers ? As for flat-Earthers and astronomy : 1) What do you think is wrong with astronomy ? And 2) The whole reason that flat-Earthers exist is because of your dumb book. The cosmological view of reality that was common to peoples in the region that the Bible takes place in 2,000 years ago was that the Earth was flat, a dome called the Firmament was above it, there was a layer of water above that and above that were 7 levels of heaven, which was an actual physical place where God and his minions resided. There are a number of references to this in the Bible, it's obviously not true, like everything else in the bible, but as always happens, when it was proven that this was nonsense, the church just morphs their story to fit with the facts. I assume facts are a problem for you, and that you are the creationist that can't accept evolution because you are biased against it based upon your devotion the ridiculous Bronze-age mythology that you live your life by.

May I ask, so what are other wisdoms from? especially who brought beneficiary to humankind like medicals? Did these people all fear the Lord and got the wisdom? How can you tell they weren’t atheist? Some had wisdom as atheist and provided to medical care, isn’t it!

TheLookingGlass001 Well said, one of the best reviews and clarifications of Friendly Atheist Hemant Mehta and his videos on the Bible besides his own statements of his own lack of understanding and knowledge.

You do know that people who learn biology today to not get their knowledge from Darwin's writings and that Darwin got a lot of stuff wrong don't you? Can you give an example of how his reading is lacking understanding? I assure you, we all know that Revelation is a book of allegory and the words are not to be taken "literally", its just that, well, the way it is written is simply hilarious. Do you have any specific examples of where you feel he lacks "understanding" of what is written? Do you think he hasn't already read the apologetics commentaries about the passages contained in places such as BibleHub? Can you please explain your comment about how fear is related to wisdom? What does the word "holy" mean in this context and how does one gain knowledge of it? How is "faith" a path to knowledge? Is there any proposition that CAN'T be held on faith? If one person says they have faith in a proposition "X", and another person has faith in the proposition "not X", how do you determine which actually represents reality and can be called knowledge? Isn't faith just the excuse people use when they don't have a good reason?

You calling OP shallow is like an indoctrinated cult member defending their abusive cult leader. Notice you didn't have any actually valid criticisms, you're just a snowflake crying because other people didn't fall for your scam.
