I was going to ask about the origins of some of those kind of folk tales. Also the Grimm fairy tales. I know they're written as fiction, but some of them are totally mad and I'm assuming they were 'collected' works rather than 100% original

You guys talking about Sunday school reminds me of when I went to Bible school and brought up Dante’s inferno and how much of our ideas of hell don’t come from the Bible and the pastor thought I was talking about some saitanic text and telling me to be careful of mixing the Bible and outer works and it’s like that literally my point 💀

[@lucamckenn5932]

Most people in the church regurgitate regurgitation. They read abridged bibles, and don't even know the lore from fan fiction. Blind faith is for fools. Be sure to tell them that. Otherwise, you could just make things up and pull the wool from their ignorant eyes each time they go, "really? What book is that verse from?"

[@vin8754]

The biggest killer of faith in the Lord today is the very people teaching it. So many kids come away with a negative perception of Christianity because of the people teaching it being so rigid

"Waters of the deep" or any reference to deep and dark waters usually means an infinite nothingness. It's a phrase based on the idea people had back then that since the bottom of a body of water wasn't visible, it just went into an infinite void of nothingness.

i’m pretty telomere length also just shortens with DNA replication. so as we grow and develop or replace old cells, the telomere length shortens. i believe radiation and other environmental factors can also contribute, but just wanted to add this.

[@izuhbee]

another comment. the description in genesis is so similar to theogony, and i wonder if it is meant to be understood similarly. the “void” isn’t that nothing was there, it was always there it just did not have the form and delineation before that point. maybe waters is the word for man to understand that chaos that is hard for humans to understand having only known what the world was like after that point? edit: never mind you said exactly this haha

I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve been having a great time listening to your discussions while I’m working! It’s nice to have Christian’s getting to talk so openly on their beliefs especially in this day and age. If I had one criticism, it would be the interrupting from time to time. I just notice sometimes aiden interrupts wendigoon occasionally when he is talking about something interesting. I know it’s not intentional and I mean no harm by saying this.

When they say 'waters' is it possible they don't mean literal water, but just kinda an unformed mass? The universe in its earliest days was though to have been dense and hot enough to be kinda like a warm soup before everything expanded and cooled to become what it is now.

I had this existential thought of where the matter that made up our universe came from. Has it already existed for eternity or did it come from nothing (which brings up the question of how to make something out of nothing). To make it even more existential, I thought of how improbable our universe, works and selves would be if we were made out of nothing. Until now, there’s no answer to these thought and I just ignored them for now and am great full to be here in the first place.

Yeah, people have weird misconceptions about Christianity. I've seen people who think that if you sin, that automatically means you go to Hell and no, that's not how that works. You don't sin once and go to Hell. No one is without sin. It's whether or not you're willing to repent and attempt to better yourself.

[@josiaharaki7310]

If you sin once, you are doomed to hell, though. That's the whole point of salvation. All our good deeds are as filthy rags (In the hebrew, the word used translates more literally to a used and discarded menstrual rag) There are debates on the age of accountability and those who do not have access to the good news, however.

The Middle East had a far more temperate climate in ancient times. The Ottoman empire accidentally terraformed a large portion of the region by passing a law taxing land based on the number of trees, resulting in widescale deforestation to get out of paying it. Part of the reason Israel's doing so well economically right now is that the first thing the returning Jews did was start replanting trees and draining the bogs, making that area far less extreme than other regions (and apparently having a thriving agricultural economy.)

Went to church through my whole childhood, even lived in an awesome church community during my teen years and I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was 14 or 15. I took in the message during retreats and around the campfire at summer camp, and I always tried to listen in church but never really grasped the stories, too much going on in my life i guess. Now at 32 I'm finally reading the Bible for myself and it feels really great

Tim Mackie has a lot of good talks about the cultural background of Hebrew culture when Genesis was written. He explains that literally “In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth” is actually closer to “In the beginning of God’s preparation of the skywaters and the land”. Meaning when they speak of Heavens they really mean the sky, and earth they really mean the literal earth, dirt.

[@TheLoreLodge]

I’ll have to dig into them!

[@TheLoreLodge]

I’ve long held the opinion that it’s talking about matter and energy or something of the sort

[@DANtheMANofSIPA]

@@TheLoreLodge Which is definitely possible. We know that in scripture words can mean multiple things and prophecies can be about and fulfilled by multiple people. For example, the prophecy of Emmanuel was probably about King (Hezekiah?)’s son, but was also fulfilled by Jesus’ birth. Or how Lucifer or morning star was actually about the King of Babylon but many people believe it is also about The Satan at the same time. So it could be that the author had his mind in one thing, but the Holy Spirit guided his words to reveal multiple truths about this beautiful world we live in

I have been really enjoying this series. A lot of what you both say matches well with my personal beliefs with regards to the bible. I turned from the church a long time ago due to a lot of bad interpretations of the bible as well as negative experiences at the hands others in the church. I remember being told as a child that original sin was Eve tempting Adam and that's why women are born evil and that having a period is God's punishment to women for Eve's sin. I remember being told that science was wrong and that the book of genesis was the true account of creation. When I asked why couldn't what science says be the method by which God created everything, I was told that I was wrong to question God. I remember asking if someone was truly, deeply bad such as a serial killer, and they accepted Christ before they died if they would be in heaven and being told that yes they would be and I could never be alright with that statement. I look forward to more of this series! Please keep up the good work, both of you!

[@katiegwynn4495]

I'm an old lady of 50 now, but since I was a pre-teen, I've had loads of bible/life questions that nobody could answer. Worse yet, nobody WANTED to answer or to help me look . I was raised roughly Lutheran, but my family only behaved in a churchy fashion on Sundays. all other days, it was kind of bad. When I was 13, I had my first communion, and as I waited for the pastor to come to me with the tray, I suddenly remembered something I had read in Catecism class something like "If you do not believe the words of the Lord, you partake of the Body and Blood to your damnation." And I realized that I wasn't sure of any of it. BUT, if the bible was the Truth, I'd better not do communion until I was certain. Just to be safe. I was scared to death. I stood up and ran down the aisle and out the back door. When we got home I was physically disciplined for being an embarrassment. I tried to explain the words that were taught, my thoughts about that, and my (rather wise) decision not to participate, but it made no difference, because nobody really cared about the actual content of the bible. Many years later, I was rekindled as a believer, and there I remain. I was having a minor debate with an athiest guy I know who happened to be absolutely brilliant. He took the Big Bang Theory and made it attractive for me to look into. and then I was listening to (old) R.C. Sproul, and I thought: "If ever there was nothing, there would be nothing today. From nothing, nothing comes. Since there are things today, there must have been something,and since we can determine the beginning and end points of all materials, we know that none of them is eternal. So whatever this thing is must necessarily have the power of Life unto itself." There's only one place where such a claim is made. I've been accused many times of employing the God Basket logic--whatever I don't understand, I think to myself, well must be God! and this shuts down exploration and deeper knowledge, and that's bad. that's not what I'm doing though. In my mind,it's so obvious that The Big Bang can't possibly be the answer, and using the ONE scientific idea I'm slightly familiar with, it is so clear that God did this..well, my brain is not a smart one, and science does not spring me, and I find it boring to listen to people spin on and on about a thing that is unreasonable and impossible to answer, starting at a false point. A couple other things that enter my mind: Time has no agency, it can take no action/do no thing. No matter how much of it passes, water falling on rock will not produce life in the forms we have today. There are no missing links. Two of the planets spin in the opposite direction from the others. There's more but I'm spent. I believe in dinosaurs too! LMAO

[@maggielaw6320]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing all of that. I love asking questions and speaking on deep matters like this. It's hard to feel like no one wants to work with you, I've been in that environment before and it's awful. The beautiful thing about communion is that even Judas got to eat. The Bible is so rich and deep and worth exploring, but people look at it with so much pride and certainty instead of humility and curiosity. Peace to you sister.

[@UncensoredScion]

the simplistic view of the golden rule is what you argue initially but the wider implications are what Christianity and the Christ taught. To be Christ-like. Do you want to let a person starve to death because you want to take that money you were going to use for food that you already have at home or do you give them food to help them live longer? How would you want to be treated in that situation, and how would you want to act towards those around you? Do you want to try and make the world a better place with an act of kindness or do you want to treat others badly? Because if you do, that badness will be returned to you 10 fold in ways you cannot imagine. We as people cannot be as pure as the Christ is, but we can strive to try to be like the Christ, that's what his teachings are meant to impart to others, that's what his life is about, to be the best you can be for yourself and others. (I'm not a Christian saying this btw, or an atheist, just a guy who has read a lot of scriptures and faiths)

[@TheMimiSard]

I feel like I may have a belief system that is very close to Isaiah's. Seventh-Day Adventist history states that one of the two major congregations that merged to create the Adventist Church was a Seventh-Day Baptist group. So I think Adventism and Baptism share a lot of general ideas.

[@TheMimiSard]

Yeah, a great deal of the laws in Deuteronomy were very much about being clean. Not wearing two different fabrics is a cross-contamination issue. People understand that you shouldn't prepare vegies on an unwashed surface you have just been prepping meat on. The fabrics was that same thing - maybe if people in that time wore linen and wool at the same time the linen would get wool germs on it because they didn't have the complex types of processing we have in modern times.

[@TheMimiSard]

On the point about how there are connections and equivalences between religions - I think one thing that causes that is that in the end, all humans work the same way. It is something that my few trips overseas has shown me - I have visited New Zealand, Germany and China (and a few incidental places on the way to and from), and however different, there are some things that will always work the same way, because no matter how different the culture, humans are humans.

[@respincycle2582]

Nice podcast but I don’t care for the description of sin not being evil. If sin is the defiance of god and everything that is good comes from god then nothing good can come from sin which makes sin evil. And since every human who is born has a natural tendency to sin, and the only way to escape sin is through god, mankind without god is inherently evil. But that’s okay because this is true for every man that ever lived except for Jesus and this is why he had to die on the cross to redeem all of mankind. The point being is that if we choose through our free will to love and obey god then slowly we can be drawn away from our inherently sinful nature and each true believer can eventually become a totally unique expression of gods glory and perfection. The church is the mass of every believer in Christ and the believers are like organs in the body of the church, each person serving a different role yet all displaying the perfect will of our creator. But first we have to acknowledge our evil nature and our moral bankruptcy before we can advance on this journey towards perfection.

Information gets skewed from the 5 outlier pastors with hot takes to EVERY religious person believes you're going to Hell for not taking their specific interpretation.

The idea of apple being a generic fruit came fourth long after the 6th Century BC- which is the earliest account of Genesis we can trace. So 'apple' was applied into the teaching but was never the author's intention.

Sounds like the BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. Find Dr. Michael Heiser's Supernatural and Eric Metaxas, unless it is still more convenient to you "NOT being held responsible" by a HIGHER POWER for your sins... one does NOT have to "believe" in a sun when the sky is cloudy to KNOW that there IS one.

I think angels lack free will in the sense that they can”t go against a direct order from god. Its says god has dominion over satan and the demons. to my knowledge he just never told them to stop rebelling. Just let them leave

[@stevenspurgeon2087]

Ok, so God spoke to us with the words we made because he gave it to man to name he would be breaking his word if he talked about atoms. The earth was without form like a big dust cloud like science says and the deep would be like a big cloud in space before he gathered it into the oceans.

1:15:40 Democritus and Epicurus could have explained what an atom was, considering they invented the concept and wrote before the events of the new testament, but its not clear if youre referring to genesis strictly or the bible as a whole. By the time of the new testament the concept of the atom was theorized and Aristotle's observstions on botany (among almost all other sciences) were also understood, so i think the argument can be made that jesus could have explained to humans at that point the inner workings of what theyve already theorized and observed. If man can explain to man better than god can to man the mechanics of the universe, especially when theyve done so before god has, then how can you claim that god could not have explained at least as well as those men, if not better? Furthermore, if god is omnipotent, can he not explain all things to man such that they can understand them? God could have created documents explaining any or all aspects of reality to humans in such a way that they would have easily understood them. If you theorize that he created the universe and mankind in it, then you also theorize that he could have taught man anything but chose not to (as he is omnipotent) and therefore chose for man to die and suffer unnecessarily due to ignorance of the world. The fallen nature of man doesnt work as an excuse here as god has contacted us while fallen but has still chosen not to explain to us fallen men at least as well as we can explain to ourselves, if not better. So long ad biblical accounts of the universe are less explanatory than other contemporary accounts, which they are given the greek philosophies, god has either chosen not to teach man or is incapable of doing so, refuting his omnipotence or omnibenevolence, refuting god if he should be of said traits.

Nothing complex, Gen 1:1-2 establishes that the world existed but was essentially in state of utter disaster. The verse you missed was Gen 3:15 as it establishes the of the biblical narrative. The original sin as most would refer to Adam and Eve's transgression against God. We do not know much about the war in Heaven and when Satan was cast down, we also do not need to know. 1 Enoch which is biblical endorsed as Jude quotes verbatim from it.

[@kuroblakka]

21:00 I, as an atheist, don't like being an opposition in the comments of christian videos because I listen to them just because they are fun and cool. But I have to point something out. In the Bible it says that God created the worle first, then the rest, when actually Earth became a thing 9 billion years after the universe came to existence. I love your poscasts with Wendigoon (I watch them mostly for him tbh) and I love Wendiggon's videos but please don't try to prove Bible with real science and leave some facts out.

[@mitchell428]

[@mezy6407]

Yo kuro so most Christians and Jews agree on that the early chapters of the Bible are not meant to be and step by step guide to how the world was created but rather an overview on what happened. Also on your point about leaving stuff i don’t think they did it on purpose rather I think it got brushed over cause remember this isn’t a well edited video that examines all points. Instead it’s a livestream that has some planning but isn’t as refined. God bless and have a nice day!

[@cursedjade9585]

At least to me, and hopefully most Christians, you aren't an opposition in this comment section or anywhere else. You may not believe in a God, but Christians do. We believe that God loves everyone, so to make you feel bad for believing something different or anything of the sort would just be wrong.

[@trentrossdale638]

That is not the message here! Sin is evil. You trying hard to be better is not what gets you into heaven. Not at all.

[@maggielaw6320]

That's not what they said. No one is talking about "what gets you into heaven" here, rather what we should do as humans. Not to mention sin isn't described as evil in the Bible, but a failure

[@Tragedyking]

But wait! If there are contradictions in the bible and the bible is the infallible word of God, then isn't God fallible?

[@pristinedecision1877]

Not going to lie, this podcast is a concept I have been dying to hear discussed in depth because, despite being raised Christian, I have never believed in the concept of "god," but I do enjoy rationalists attempting to explain the Bible. All of that being said, I sometimes wish Aidan was the only presenter because Wendigoon's constant forced laughter is grating when you are only here for the information.

[@gingergoodner9363]

Yup! I was taught that I was a born sinner. Nope nope nope! Because if I am a born sinner then Jesus was a born sinner and in capable of dying to cleanse our sins. I’m no longer following that church. I never believed that BS even when I was six years old. It simply was not logical.
