Everything Wrong With Deuteronomy 24 in the Bible

The loophole at 3:50 of getting married every 12 months to avoid the draft takes on a darker tone when considering Deuteronomy 22:28-29 requires women to marry their rapist. Every year the days before the draft starts must have been a terrifying time for unbetrothed women.

[@suzieg8310]

They WERE in Egypt. They migrated from Canaan to Egypt during the great famine, and stayed there for several generations. (See Joseph interpreting the dream of the seven fat ears and seven lean ears). While they were there they kept to their own community, and eventually they and the Egyptians got pissed at each other. "God" was of course on the side of the Israelites, and sent the plagues. There may have been seven plagues- they do love their sevens...After the killing of all the first born (except theirs- see the Passover), they left in a big fat hurry (unleavened bread), and then they wandered for 40 years. Sorry I can't give you chapter and verse, it's a bit sketchy after all the years of ignoring it, but it's all in there.

@@suzieg8310 I’m talking about actual history. Not what the Bible says.

[@OrichalcumHammer]

​@@suzieg8310 Do you notice that in bible the Pharaohs are not given name. Why? Because they are made up jewish stories told around camp fire. Pharaoh just handing over his kingdom to a slave Joseph is impossible because status of Pharaohs was equivalent to divine and hence considered as god kings. Joseph story is Jews copying the story of foreigner(non-Egyptian) Vizier of Egypt. During reign of Pharaoh Siptah, Egypt had a powerful vizier from the Levant/North named Baya(scribe and important palace official) , who dominated even the Pharaoh(as he was a child) and thus acted as Regent. When Seti II died without a clear heir, Baya backed the claim of a boy named Siptah, who became the next Pharaoh. In two different inscriptions, Baya is described as the one “who established the king on the seat of his father.” To quote University of Bristol Egyptologist Aidan Dodson, “Bay[a]’s boast is particularly striking: for a man to claim to have been installed by a king in his father’s place is quite normal; for a man to have done so for the king is without parallel.” This claim is unprecedented, since according to Egyptian religio-political beliefs, one of the gods was responsible for choosing the next pharaoh. And Baya had a *prepared tomb and thus giving us evidence that he was a legitimate figure in Ancient Egypt with a proper historical records* but since he made claims over Pharaoh he was deemed a traitor and executed, thereby not given burial in the prepared tomb. Since Baya was foreigner who gained prominence in Egypt he became part of folk stories around Egypt. This is where ancient Jews did their self insert stories. Egyptian empire and Hittite empire controlled the region of Canaan in the later bronze age period. Similarly we know Moses story of exodus is Fake because Egyptians dont record such a event happening to them and Pharaoh Ramesses II didnt die in Red Sea. Do you think in the court of Ramesses II, in front of Ministers, Vizier and Bodyguards, Aaron and Moses would be able to make demands of a God King? Dont you think Ramesses II would have kicked around Yahweh and his bodyguards executed Aaron and Moses where they stood. This is ancient Jew's jealousy towards the prosperous Ancient Egyptian kingdom.

[@suzieg8310]

@@OrichalcumHammer I am aware that the bible is the Jews story. I was talking about what it says in the bible, did not say it was true. (Thanks for the Egyptian history.) I find it endlessly fascinating mostly because all the stories are either derivative, or similar versions can be found all over the world. Of course interaction and migration can account for some of it, but when you find similar advice from Jesus and Buddha...Guess human thought is pretty unoriginal.

The reason why the Bible seems so random is because is it actually represented some of the earliest legal systems, and is about as messy and chaotic as you would expect a legal system to be. Ancient legal systems needed basis of authority for anyone to follow them at all, so the options in those days were violence, orders from gods and priests, and various combinations. It wasn't until the 1700s, during the Entitlement, that people (at least in the West) began to derive moral principles using logic instead of commandments from gods.

[@ANCIENTWARRI0R]

Do you have some early examples because the earliest written collections we have are not based on gods but created by the rulers. They are organized, not messy and chaotic. The laws of Eshnunna -The Laws of Eshnunna are one of the oldest written legal codes in human history. They were issued by the rulers of the city-state of Eshnunna in Mesopotamia around the 18th century BCE.

I'm talking about the made-up concept of virginity. 2. Yeah, it's sex. When the actual rabbinic post was created, you were required to have at least two children with your wife before you could be...ordained? Do they call it ordination? I don't know if they do, but you get the idea. 3. Yeah, there is the "make a living" part, but in a lot of parts of the ancient world, they really did use carved stone as currency. We've found MASSIVE, hollowed-out stone disks in China, for example, which can weigh upwards of several hundred pounds, which were exchanged as currency. I suppose you would use what you had to hand back before we could mass-produce metal and paper for money. They would use salt, too. 4. I think leprosy (when they say "defiling skin disease", they mean leprosy) is decently easy to get rid of these days...? Antibiotics, I do believe? But it's caused by unclean conditions, not by the wrath of God/s. You should read the first scene in Homer's Iliad, which is WAY older than sany of these texts, at least in its oral form, but Apollo brings plague upon the Greeks because their asshole of a king insulted one of Apollo's priests by kidnapping the guy's daughter and refusing to give her back. Apollo was a god of plague, amongst MANY other things, but he could shoot arrows that would cause plague and death. This here is a story about the late Bronze Age, finally written down in the Iron Age, while the Iliad is a story about the mid Bronze Age, which, again, was written down in the Iron Age, but Homer didn't write it down himself. He recited it to someone who wrote it for him, because, traditionally, Homer is depicted as blind. Homer isn't even his real name: it's a word from an extinct Greek dialect that literally means "blind man". His real name escapes me. 5. "Don't screw over your hired staff" is also how Americans are getting away with migrant worker slavery, though. These guys, largely from Mexico or Columbia, get about a dollar a day just so that no one rats them out for being foreigners. It's not a GOOD scenario. Go further south in the US, it becomes more prevalent. But I don't know what state you live in. 6. "Each will die for their own sin?

When matthew's jesus responds to satan's 3 tempations in matthew 4, he does so by quoting deuteronomy three times. Jehovah's witnesses follow the pauline/lukan position that jesus removed the law.

Oh, and how stupid do you have to be for your imaginary friend to point out that if you go to someone who owes you money and take away their tools they won't be able to make the money with which to pay you back? Really? You needed to be told that by a voice in your head?

There are no contradictions that haven't been dishonestly explained by apologists, yes. But it changes nothing.

Hemant or friendly atheist Interesting, Hemant you have actually agreed with almost half the chapter, even comparing this chapter with the Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and yet where you agree and follow the Amendments to the U.S. Constitution you continue to disagree with the Bible, especially when you make up things in the Bible, out of speculation, that don’t appear anywhere in the Bible.

[@tryme3969]

Why do people talk bad about the Bible? It's telling everyone to take care of the poor. Is that offensive or something?

[@Richard_Nickerson]

To say that the whole Bible is just advocating on behalf of the poor, especially at this point in this series, is... it's just got to be a joke, right?

[@andystokes8702]

@@tryme3969 So how many poor people do you think were on the planet at the time God sent a flood to drown them? Why does God tell us to look after the poor when he couldn't give a rat's arse about them himself?

[@dukebanerjee4710]

I think the parts condoning genocide and slavery, which came a few books earlier, are why people talk bad about the Bible.
