[@Lleanlleawrg]

@@TinusTegenlicht Well, Lot never existed. It's a story. But there were towns near the dead sea that were obliterated by some kind of tunguska-esque event, according to modern archaeology. Likely that was attributed to divine wrath by primitive societies like this, who invented a morality tale about it. In this culture, apparently it was morally good to offer your daughters up to be gang raped by a mob instead of them doing it to strangers. This makes sense given that the ancient Jewish culture that made the tale clearly saw women as property on par with a cow or a piece of furniture. In the story Lot's wife looked back at the destruction and was turned into a pillar of salt. Clearly not real, but likely inspired by the vaguely human-shaped salt formations in the area, and fits well with a mythical trope we also see in the orpheus and eurydice story from greek mythology. It's not identical but similar. So anyway, Lot's daughters in the story do get their dad drunk and rape him. Not that two wrongs make a right, but in the time of 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' which was Jewish law at the time, he got off easy.

It should be noted that a man being sexually assaulted in ancient times, was an ultimate form of humiliation. This is not about homosexuality per-se (in the sense of a same sex couple, consenting to each other), this is about rape, with one man dominating and using another man. Equally if you visited a town in ancient times and did not pay respect to the local leaders, this type humiliation was a common response. You will note a similar case much later with a concubine (poor woman) being sacrificed to save the face of her master (who them assembles an army to wipe the town out). The bible texts were written in ancient times by ancient cultures completely different to our own. The authors are no longer around to explain their context, so we cannot literally read it. We need further data from other sources to begin to grasp it. However the error of many Christians is to cherry pick these texts to confirm their own bias (especially the nationalist types). Rather than using the texts to improve themselves by interacting with the texts and their own experiences. For example, I was surprised to find I could relate the teachings of Jesus to driving back home in heavy traffic, something the original authors never considered or intended.

One video shows the finding of sulfur deposits which weren't found on the surface ground, rather, in the water. He even uses a lighter to see if they ignite in a way that sulfur would. In the other video, Joel examines sites which show a layer of ash among former cities, but no signs of rebuilding. This was found at four sites, with one that did not show any ash. He also discusses how one site, Hammam (if spelled correctly), to the north of the Dead Sea was suspected, but it shows that there has been numerous rebuilding, whereas Sodom & the others, apart from where Lot fled, were not rebuilt nor lived on.

It can make us close the Book because we are horrified, bored, or confused, which is a shame.

So one possibility: there was some city of cities destroyed by a gas leak (with all the oil deposits in mesopotamia that doesn't sound unlikely) or meteorite, sometime pre 2000 BC. That stuck in the collective memory of many groups. When the Judeans were in exile in Babylon, they picked up a lot of Babylonian ideas and myths, which then got retconned afterwards to help form 2nd Temple Judaism (which was quite different from 1st Temple Proto-Israelite polytheism). That sort of mixing and retconning happened a lot, so it's not odd for it to be included here with Jewish morality overlaid on it.

[@teresamerkel7161]

That was well done. I liked your sharing the Accadian myths as assisting in the understanding but where you really shined in this video was when you discussed "just" and what that means and what therefore the actual biblical reason for the destruction of these cities were; violence, inhospitality, as well as sexual sins, economic sins and cruelty toward those less fortunate. "The traditions speak of injustice, sin of adultery, lies, pride, gluttony, excess wealth, indifference to the poor, and inhospitality." As for the sin of inhospitality, in our modern age we overlook this. In the ancient world there were few to no inns, truck stops, restaurants, and other amenities for travelers who risked life and limb on the road from wild beasts and robbers and roaming bands of bandits. The sin of inhospitality was to deny a traveler protection and needed sustenance when they were most vulnerable. All in all one of your top videos Metatron. Love those 72 wings.

OMG M ... I am SO glad you included this in your series. As an adopted child, reading my state adoption papers at 18 AND having been raised in a very strict Nazarene (Protestant) household, turns out my family kept from me that on the side of my mother's (biological) family, I discovered that I was not only French and English but NOW I read what? Jewish "blood" from my mother's side and later on I'd discover why she made sure I had THAT info and how important it could be to me, one day. So, a couple yrs later; I began attending (secretly) services at the Reform Jewish synagogue just half a mile or so down the road from the church I grew up in. Eventually converting, and relearning ALL that biblical text I grew up in learning Hebrew along with it and OH MY G-D what an eye- opening experience that was .. especially with SO many translating errors that ended up in the KJ Bible that the majority of Xtians know nothing about. It would make their heads spin and denials fly outta their mouths. Again, thank you! Your Florida Fan (for yrs now), Aszneth (Yes, mine is an ancient Egyptian girl name.) 😀👍

Why a whole new religion written by "gospel" writers reading those same errors to base their stories on. Perhaps YOU should go back and learn what Hebrew scholars have known for centuries.

[@lLadyAszneth]

@retrictumrectus1010 - Sadly, they did when the original 72 scribes (6 chosen from each of the 12 tribes) sat down to do the 1st Greek translation, nobody was standing over their shoulders making sure there were NO errors because unlike a Torah scroll where there can NOT be errors, apparently that same scrutiny wasn't present making the 1st Xtian Bible. It is truly sad once you've learned what all those mistakes contributed to, like the preaching reply just before yours telling me how much I didn't know citing one of the VERY books where a few of the major mistranslation came from: Isaiah. One for instance about a woman having a baby boy. In the Hebrew, the word for "damsel" (not virgin) is used. Regrettably, in the Septuigant, the Greek word used "alma" which in Greek can be used as BOTH a virgin and a non-virgin. WHY? Who knows. All I DO know is that we get yet another "story" and one from religions far older than xtianity, about what? A virgin giving birth to a future male god. Yeah, it's why I ended up stepping away from religion altogether. Take care. 😊👍

It has long been speculated that Abraham came from the Tigris and Euphrates region. Considering most of the old testament was written between 1200 BCE and 165 BCE and many of the events written about were supposed to have occurred hundreds of years earlier, I'm not surprised it borrows heavily from Zoroastrian, Akkadian and later, Babylonian culture. It has is known that there was a meteor impact in what is now Iraq in 2193 BCE. The impact site is theorised to be the location of Akkad. Two cities were destroyed & many others were affected. The power of the impact is speculated to be the equivalent of 9,00 Hiroshima atomic bombs. There is also speculation that the resultant dust in the atmosphere, led to global climate change. Indeed, at around this time, the Akkadian empire the Indus Valley civilisation, the Egyptian old kingdom and the Liangzhu culture went into terminal decline. Each decline had it's own reasons, but one that crops up in each case, is severe drought. I'm not totally convinced about all of that, but I thought I'd put it out there.

His son, Isaac, also travels to and gets his wife from Haran but he stays mainly in Canaan. Abraham's other son Ishmael travels from Canaan to Egypt to get his wife and then south into Arabia. Isaac's son, Jacob, repeats his father's journey's. Isaac's other son, Esau, stays in the east side of Canaan (Jordan).

Missler proposed reading it as a generation that knew God, followed by a generation that knew Him not. Followed by a generation that God gave over to their lust. This aligns with your findings... the original sin of Sodom is forgetting God... breaking covenant with Yahweh. Then wickedness followed, hospitality ended. The sexual sins is finally a symptom of greater sin.

I think what you're referring to is Genesis 18. I don't think it's most likely at all that all 3 were the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Only one of the three is acknowledged as LORD/Yahweh throughout the passages. • "Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD/Yahweh." - Genesis 18:22; Showing how one of the three are acknowledged as the LORD/Yahweh. • "So the LORD/Yahweh went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham;" - Genesis 18:33; Indicating that the LORD/Yahweh continued on his way toward Sodom after the other two men/angels that went ahead of Him. Then in Genesis 19:13, those two men/angels tell Lot in Sodom that "the LORD/Yahweh has sent us to destroy it (Sodom)."

[@WaterMelon-Cat]

@@Gutslinger here is St. Augustine who took Genesis 18 as an apparition of the Trinity. “But under the oak at Mamre he saw three men, whom he invited, and hospitably received, and ministered to them as they feasted. Yet Scripture at the beginning of that narrative does not say, three men appeared to him, but, "The Lord appeared to him." And then, setting forth in due order after what manner the Lord appeared to him, it has added the account of the three men, whom Abraham invites to his hospitality in the plural number, and afterwards speaks to them in the singular number as one; and as one He promises him a son by Sara, viz. the one whom the Scripture calls Lord, as in the beginning of the same narrative, "The Lord," it says, "appeared to Abraham." He invites them then, and washes their feet, and leads them forth at their departure, as though they were men; but he speaks as with the Lord God, whether when a son is promised to him, or when the destruction is shown to him that was impending over Sodom.”

To take this literally that it was God appearing in person is to disregard what the Bible tells us in Exodus 33:20, no man can see God and live and John 1:18 which tells us no man has seen God at any time, this written by John the apostle of Jesus. Exodus 33:11 also tells us that Moses spoke to God face to face, but Exodus 3:2, 4 and 6 how Gods angel spoke to Moses through the thorn bush and Moses described this as looking at God, and Galatians 3:19 tells us that the law was transmitted by angels. The conclusion then, is that these were angels, representatives of God who appeared to Abraham, and there are other examples as well. And yes, it's likely that the spokesman was Jesus, because he is the word of God. Jesus never claimed to be God, John 6:38 Jesus clearly says he didn't come to do his own will, but the will of the one who sent him. Not once does Jesus claim to be equal to the father. Colossians 1:15-17 tells us Jesus is the firstborn of creation. He was created and has a beginning, only God is eternal. The trinity is debunked when you read all the words of Jesus, the apostles and even in the Hebrew scriptures, it's just a creed that was set in place by Constantine in 325 CE when his own bishops couldn't agree, Constantine wasn't even a Christian at that time, and didn't convert until his death, so why was a pagan Roman ruler dictating Christian doctrine? First century Christians didn't believe in a trinity and even modern day churches struggle to explain the trinity, and try to call it a divine mystery when they fail. People seek to find support for the trinity in isolated texts, but it's important not to try to make the Bible fit a doctrine, instead read all the scriptures on the subject to get a more comprehensive answer.

@@krisher1979 your comment is literally Arianism. A heresy condemned more than 1700 years ago. You are not a Christian if you are an Arian, so your comment is invalid.
