- In this video, Frank Turek is faced with a series of challenging questions regarding the Old Testament and the commandments of God therein.
Link to the original media is HERE: • Did God Really Command...
Please go follow @CrossExamined & enjoy ALL of there amazing content!
Woman in the audience:
“Ask a random, tough question”.
Frank Turek:
“Pulls up a full blown PowerPoint presentation, to answer her”.
This man is the definition of prepared
Or maybe the question wasn't so random. He's becoming the next Kent Hovind where he only talks about the same few talking points over and over, and uses the same Power Point presentation for every talk.
@@markwildt5728
Regardless he answered the main question asked: “How is God right to destroy the Canaanites?”
Any side questions or details can go down it’s own entire rabbit hole there isn’t time for at that moment.
Nothing new under the sun. Pretty standard question. Not so unique. No conspiracy.
@yawhboateng hahaha I thought the same thing! Frank is the man!
Yet, neither you or Frank (nor any Christian of whom I am aware) will answer my questions DIRECTLY.
Since becoming a Christian some 45 years ago I have heard many people say that the Bible contains a lot of errors and contradictions. But after studying the texts and the relevant languages and cultures of the time, I have seen that these peoples understanding of the scriptures is faulty, not the scriptures. As someone once said, "you should not simply read the Bible, you must study it!".
Many times too they are just lying about actually reading the Bible. They read a verse alone by itself and then call out that verse for being wrong without understanding the Bible is a BOOK and you need the pages around it that led up to that verse, or explains the verse after.
We are not a people of a book like the Muslims. We are people of the truth which is a person and not a book. So you must study the scriptures and understand the context of what is said to who and what were the circumstances. This God of the Bible stops evil both from immoral “others” and His own Hebrew people who turns away from Him.
2Tim.2:15 study ( not just read the world) The last part of the verse says to rightly dividing the word of truth. You have to separate what was told to the Jews and what is being told to the gentiles. Keep them separate and there won't be any contradictions in the bible. example: the Jews were under the law, but the gentiles are not. Another example the Jews have their gospel of the kingdom of heaven preached by Jesus. The gentiles have the gospel of grace preached by Paul.
@@fredsargent1243 both the Jews and the Gentiles are under grace since Jesus Christ was crucified on that cross. The same it is written he will judge starting from his own house first then the rest. The only difference between Gentiles and Jews is all the laws that they were given in order to make them aware of Sin & us we were not sacrificing animals through a priest for his sins and our sins. You know the Old Testament is a shadow to the New Testament and the New Testament is also a shadow of what is to come.
you check the accuracy of the Bible by comparing it with itself...it is the ONLY error-free text ever given to man....how else could you check to see if it is correct?
She looked so satisfied with that answer God protect her from people who twist the scriptures 💯🙏🏽💖
1st l would like serious seekers of Christ Jesus to find a UPCI church in your area we follow Acts 2:38 plan of salvation. Once you have followed God's plan of salvation you can pray with assuring than God will answer your prayers. He will reveal to you His will for your life. And while you are attending weekly Bible class and Sunday services you will begin to understand scriptures. Building a relationship with God is undeniably the best thing that will happen to you. To be in the know about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is pure life. Don't delay run to a real Apostolic church UPCI.
I applaud this young lady for her candid question based on her background and current curiosity of God. Thank you for posting this question and the reply by Frank!
Yeah,it's a refreshing change to hear someone talking sense on this channel and yet again he can never give a straight answer .
Oh and any views of his wonderful natural creations such as tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes etc which have been wiping out millions of innocent people, babies and all since humans walked the earth. Not forgetting the great flood he created which basically wiped out the human race. Actually, that's a lie, there was no great flood but if you still believe that then why do you worship a narcissistic, psychotic mass murderer!!
So what's the moral standard of Christians?
@@salserokorsou You can sum the whole law and the prophets in one word, LOVE. Love is suppose to be the moral code.
@@kurtwinslow2670 so love sends people to hell to burn forever?
What kinda love is that???
@@salserokorsou You are making an assumption. Yes, indeed there are many that will go to hell and many who will not.
It's open for debate as to whether those in hell are sent, they or are they there by their own volition.
For yes indeed God sends people to hell. But is that sending passive or aggressive?
I lean towards the passive because there's many instances in the Bible. Where people are extremely uncomfortable to be in God's presence. If this is the case, then is it God's fault or is he unloving if there are some who are in hell?
By the way, the burning forever is a metaphor for the reality of hell. Being separate for eternity from the only source of intrinsic goodness, would be hell. People in hell will still have desires but these desires won't be met for eternity. All because this is what they chose. Do you want to be your own God and be autonomous? Why'll have an eternity to do so, God will respect your wishes.
Accepting Jesus and what he did for you is nothing more, than allowing you to remain in his presence for eternity.
I'm impressed at how politely she asked her question even though she felt she was pointing out what she felt was a wrongness. We all need to do more of this. To disagree without hatred or malice. I freely admit I'm still working on that.
God created man perfectly ok. What happened? Satan corrupted man with the fallen angels Gen.6. By the time of the flood violence filled the earth know one knew of the true God except Noah and his family. God had to destroy this race of corrupted people. The bible says that this corruption was still evident even after the flood, so God attempted to get rid of this corruption again with the Jews when the Jews crossed over the Jorden, to kill every body.
I'm not, not everyone who doesn't see eye to eye with a Theist is a jerk.
@@jenkinsljenkinssquire9137a jerk perhaps not. Self righteous, yes.
@@YakmonSaysItLikeItIs LOL. You are stating that every person is self righteous that may disagree with some things a theist says? Ok you are entitled to your opinion.
@@jenkinsljenkinssquire9137 yes because it's obvious God exists. The type of person who would willingly deny the ample evidence of God existence seems to think they don't need the very one who put this entire universe together even though they can't take a single step or breath without Him. How incredibly self righteous and narcissistic.
As a new Christian, the bloodshed and violence in the Old Testament puzzled me greatly for a long time, and my mind could not justify all the killing and brutality in it. I believe this video clarifies very well for a lot of new believers. Thank you.
Friend.. Start w Enoch...if someone tells you not to read it you should view their opinion with suspicion... The book of Enoch was in the canon for years and is quoted in Jude and Peter... Start there
What about the Christian genocide against the Native Americans?
@@acesing0987 You have to be careful, though, because there are altered versions of Book of Enoch.
START WITH THE WORD OF GOD. dont start with that enoch crap...
Isaiah 1: v18
this is an invitation of God for you to REASON with him.
that guy suggesting to you enoch? has a questionable intention.
You keep your FOCUS ON THE LORD JESUS... and you'll get your answer.
I agree with you, And yet current society demand pro choice happy to murder an unborn child in the 3rd trimester. When God does it it’s murder yet when pro choice nuts do it it’s a moral choice?!…………bizarre. God has the right to take us but we do not. ❤🙏🏻
Totally agree the Bible is not something you can just instantly understand in it's entirety. When I first tried to read it in my 20s I simply couldn't. To me it was a bunch of old tales a bit like the myths and legends of the ancient Greece. Later in life after difficult situations, looking at consequences of people's actions, facing the outcome of my own choices I started grasping what the Bible actually is about. And a lot more started making sense after reading books by people who studied it all their lives. That's why channels like this are so important.
I never really had that issue. I had some very good pastors. Good teachers. Most of the Bible is very litteral and relatable. I started reading it in my teens. It's seems cut and dry to me, except for Revelations and a couple of the Old Testament books.
@@michaelrobinson1059 Genesis is what really made me doubt the bible in terms of an origin story. Cherubims and flaming sword protect the tree of life. God creating clothes. Random woman comes to marry Cain. The great flood was meant to cover the whole "world" when there's no evidence for it.
It's easier to treat it more like folk tales told by your grandpa. Right next to his own personals stories which may contain actually useful knowledge and wisdom, or his personal bias and prejudice on things. Remember "God" can have regrets (Gen 6:6)
"You just don't understand" = I can be as evil as I want and it's fine
@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr No, Jesus is not a insurance policy. "Faith without works I'd dead." If the evil is in your past, in a way you are right. But when you love Jesus, evil isn't in your heart like those without. To be Christian means, " to be like Christ." You still do wicked things, because we all fail his standard. But because we love Him, we have guilt, we repent. Jesus will except you like we fo a child. We tell them not to do it again, then send them on their way. We never stop loving our children, even when they stumble. It's very hard to love Christ and do anything you want without remorse. If you can, you simply don't love Him.
@@michaelrobinson1059 I'm talking about justifying the evil that God does.
Turek seems to have fought many spiritual battles, and *definitely* wields the peace and calm of experience.
Really? All I see is an ignorant, hateful bigot full of his own importance.
He’s just figured out how to b.s. his way through points without really saying much of anything.
@@michaelsnyder6922 Me when im atheist & dont have a proper rebuttal to an undeniably good apologist
Evil in the bible = spiritual battles
@@suzudrones what would you like me to rebut?
For the first time in my life I am reading the Bible cover to cover and it has opened a whole new depth of understanding for me. Context does matter and I am looking forward to your new series because I’ve put quite a few question marks next to places I’m still not completely sure I understand. Overall though I am learning so much. ☺🙏🏻❤
Let the Holy Spirit guide you sister. Be blessed 🙏🏼❤☺
well may God bless and keep you, please though don't be deceived by modern and worldly "Christian" teachings as frank is, stating things like "only if it's repeated in the new testament"..... it's a man made teaching that the new testament itself discredits..... things like this cause people to be lawless, and Christ says he will command those who're lawless to "depart from him" into outer darkness, for he "never knew them"..... God bless and keep you always, please always worship him in spirit, and truth (from his word) and not the false teachings of men. Take care.
Indeed cover to cover is the only way! All scripture is inspired. May God guide you in your understanding!
There is a lot of scriptural support for the angel incursion of Genesis 6. Its is disturbing but also shows up in numerable places, Old and NT.
Except of course that Frank is WRONG! A New Moon Day, Sabbath Day, and any Holy Day is just as important to believers today as it ever was. Frank is confused between the laws pertaining to sacrifice and oblation - which Hebrews used to cover their sins, until the Messiah came to cleanse us of sin with His blood Sacrifice.
It was God who created the Sabbath Day in Genesis, but then later He reminded Moses and the Hebrew slaves in Exodus 20. In fact the reason why the Hebrews were slaves of Egypt for so long, was that the Hebrews refused to keep Gods Holy Days.
Now, if Cain & Abel didn't know Gods Commandments, then how could they know that they were sinning, and if they didn't know that they were sinning, then why were they offering sacrifices to God? If they didn't know Gods Holy Days, then how did they know the correct day to offer sacrifices to have their own SINS covered?
If those same Commandments were not known to the pre-flood humans, then how could a JUST GOD, determine that they were evil and worthy of death? How did that same JUST GOD determine that Noah and his sons were righteous and worthy of salvation during the flood? In fact why does it say in the New Testament, that we have to REPENT OF SIN, if Gods 10 Commandments don't apply to us anymore? If entering Gods REST that He established at Creation was not commanded, then how is it that all of the Apostles and Disciples continued to observe them to arrive at the day of Pentecost in Acts 2? You can only calculate the correct day of Pentecost by observing Gods Calendar that He placed into the heavens above; which begins by observing the first crescent moon after the Spring Equinox, when the Barley crop is sufficiently ripe to harvest for the Firstfruits Offering, so they observe the 1st Crescent and celebrate it with a Feast called New Moon Day, followed by 6 working days, then a Sabbath Day = 8 days, then another 2 days and they must select a lam without spot or blemish on the 10th day, ready to sacrifice in the evening of the 14th day, just after the Sun had set on the 13th day, then the 14th day is Passover when Hebrews fled egypt, followed by a Sabbath Day on the 15th day of the 1st Month which God calls ABIB.
So Frank might appear to be a clever guy, and has some very clever answers, but he himself is a FOOL when it comes to knowledge of Gods Calendar and the importance of Holy Days! This is true of all people who have been DECEIVED to worship or follow or pay homage to THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. You see Frank follows the Roman Calendar, a FALSE IMAGE or LIKENESS of what God placed into the heavens above - to be our Calendar (Genesis 1:14). Even Frank admits that IDOLATRY is still a Commandment taught in the New Testament, and the Roman Calendar is IDOLATRY according to the Commandment. So when Revelation 9 says that they repented not of their IDOLATRY, now you know what it means, because no real christian is going to willingly engage in IDOLATRY, which is why Rev 13 says that they were DECEIVED, just like Eve was DECEIVED to break Gods Law.
Just think for a minute, why does Paul say in Acts 18:21 ...I MUST BY ALL MEANS KEEP THIS FEAST WHICH COMETH IN JERUSALEM....? Then again, why does Paul say this in Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food, or in regard to drink, or in regard to a feast, or a New Moon, or Sabbaths, 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but THE BODY THAT CASTS IT belongs to Christ. Doesn't Paul also say in Eph 5:30 that WE ARE MEMBERS OF HIS BODY?
What Paul is saying, is that if you are a Christian, and a MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST HERE ON EARTH, then don't let any man judge you for continuing to cast these shadows by observing Gods Calendar of New Moon Days, Sabbath Days, and Feast Days. Why does he say this? Because the Romans persecuted the Christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar, and later the Popes persecuted christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar. Even Romans 14:6 states that if we don't regard a day to the Lord then we don't regard the Lord. Then in Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
Do you see it now? Frank is setting a pattern of DISOBEDIENCE by refusing the enter Gods Rest. God made the Sabbath, not Moses. Frank is teaching people to disobey God, and therefore is one of the many false teachers the Jesus warned us about. Frank can reason powerfully with Atheists, but cannot reason his own foolishness and disobedience.
It's no coincidence that this video popped up just when I was reading Joshua and Judges myself and wanting it explaining to me. I have prayed that God helps me understand this, and here we havd the perfect explanation. Wow, our God works in mysterious ways. Love this channel.
Thank you Lord, you are beyond amazing.❤
Weird. Same thing happened to me.
you're right. it's not coincidence. it's how algorithms work.
@@bbjornrudAn algorithm doesn't read minds; God does.
God having a "reason" for genocide.....satisfies your questions? I think you need to get some better questions friend.
Would it be ok to wipeout everyone in Las Vegas because of its sinful nature?
I just started "studying" the Bible. I have been questioned too few times. Being new to this, it's really tough. I'm always praying for a clear mind & guidance. This video enlightens me a lot & would be able to share to those who wants to understand. Thank u very much! Pls keep making videos like the ones u have.. May God continue to bless you.🙏🏼
I'm gonna have to watch this about 50 more times, these were such great points I need to remember them.
Did he give some great points or give Christian biased answers? Also it was mentioned for new readers of the bible to be prepared and not to take things out of context...Why?How can u not put it out of context if you read every book in the old testament? I suggest maybe u take away these points I've made if you're after a non biased opinion
You can tell by her face after the answer she was satisfied and went in with an open mind. 👏
A was a pre-planned question that the bloke was expecting, you are aware of that aren't you? And I suspect she was always going to accept the answer.
Are you aware of that? Or did you assume that? Donkey
10 Commandments Still Stand
@@liberty_over_security9219 Common tactic used by charlatans for millennia. Either way, he didn't actually answer the question satisfactorily... *at all.* For example, his lame attempt to justify doesn't address the babies drowned in the flood now does it? Were the babies warned and somehow angered god with their coos? These charlatans cannot stand up to a debate with anyone that doesn't;t just stand there and shake her head rather than actually challenge him. But of course, that is not the kind of forum where he could get challenged. No, he's allowed to spout nonsense that goes unchallenged.
As usual what they all do is sidetrack the question and accommodate the bible to their liking. On the one hand we have god destroying sodoma and gomorra without any human intervention in the extermination. But now the person talking in the video justifies the killing of humans by humans ordered by god because they were doing human sacrifices. Infantile explanation. If god wanted to punished those people he did not need other humans doing the killings for him and making them his accomplices in crime. YOU SHALL NOT KILL unless god needs you to do it. They all do the same justifying god's immorality and criminality.
Praise God, after she was raised as an athiest and she continued to be one, God saved her and now she is learning how to defend the faith. What a wonderful blessing, God is good. Thank for sharing this, always great answers of wisdom from Frank.
seems best christains are ex athest and satanist and best christains are ex athiest ex satanist ex agnostic eta eta, seems truly "resistance is assistance"
Amen! ❤
Excellent apologetic skills! I believe this is the working of the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of the present generation of 'seekers' and 'doubters'. Glory be to God!
Apparently I saw this previously but it came up today and I rewatched it. I have a better understanding of it now. I have changed my mind on something and I praise God for you and Dr Turek for enlightening me. God is awesome!
What a beautiful video!! I really like how both teacher and learner are so respectful to eachother. We need more of that.
SORRY............ Who's the Teacher ?
what.. Frank ?
Why ?
Because he's on a stage ?
@@martinkuliza probably?? I mean Frank is the one giving the lecture and answering questions to his satisfaction. Unless I'm I am completely misunderstanding what I'm watching and hearing lol.
@@snowflakeprince
Fair enough
No, What youre' doing is this.....
You're making a false association. Based on nothing else other than FRANK IS HOLDING THE LECTURE, You paint him as A TEACHER
and by association, without knowing anything about the girl... She is then by default THE STUDENT (Effectively she is THE OPPOSITE of whatever frank is)
and yet.... She herself could be a teacher.
so Frank is a teacher of....... WHAT ??
Frank is not a teacher, A Teacher teaches you about subjects and concepts and gives you knowledge and they do not work against your best interest,
They also have qualifications to attest to their ability to teach as teaching requires a passing over of knowledge and as such IT IS IMPORTANT THAT KNOWLEDGE BE CONVEYED CORRECTLY AND ACCURATELY
Frank isn't a teacher, Frank is there for his own purpose, that is to Fuel his business,
Religion as a whole is not a subject worth taking, it doesn't teach you anything you can't learn anyway, I know.. I have a degree in religion
But even then, When you compare Frank to the Lecturer's i had in Uni.. IT'S STILL NOT THE SAME THING
Frank isn't a teacher, Frank is a PRESENTER
he is Presenting what he wants to present
You just paint him in a certain light
@@martinkuliza indeed, I can see how I could make a false association based on my limited experience, but it also seems possible to me that you are making Frank out to not be a teacher because he is giving a presentation for his own profit? I completely agree with you that the girl asking the question has just as much reason/right to be a teacher, especially because she seems (again from what I can see and hear) to care more learning in this one instance.
Maybe your religion degree and time at Uni has taught you differently about the association between teacher and student so maybe I could impose upon you to elaborate a little further. My question being this...
When someone (like me and the girl) asks another person (like you and frank) a question, does or doesn't that put the person asking the question in the the position (for lack of a better word) of "student" and the person answering the question in the position of "teacher" for the time it takes to ask the question and having it answered?
I would love to hear your thoughts on that!! I realize you have certainly written a lot already so if you already answered my question to your satisfaction (and I simply need to read your previous response more carefully) just let me know!! Thank you!! 😁😁😁
@@snowflakeprince
"but it also seems possible to me that you are making Frank out to not be a teacher"
I Understand.. However, i'm not doing that, frank ALREADY is not a teacher.
This is not a class room it's a Presentation Hall, HE IS PRESENTING and he is A PRESENTER.
Now... i am being genuine when i say this...
Frank is not teaching here, let's contrast Frank with let's say.... Jesus.
CAN WE AGREE THAT JESUS WAS A TEACHER ?
See. jesus would sit his disciples down AND ACTUALLY TEACH THINGS, New Concepts and what not.
is Frank doing that... ?? NO HE'S NOT
Frank is not teaching new concepts
Frank is not sitting people down to teach,
He is ALLOWING THEM to question him.
in the case of Jesus, he wasn't questioned as much as he taught, Therefore he was a teacher
Frank is not a teacher, and even if frank has a teaching degree, IN THIS CAPACITY, He is not a teacher.
I'm not making him out to NOT be a teacher.
He already isn't a teacher.
"because he is giving a presentation for his own profit?"
right....
Frank has a business, Now, I also have a business LET'S CONTRAST IT.
I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineer.
Now let's say , i said i'll teach you Basics of Electronics .
AND I CHARGE YOU A FEE.
Hell, let's even say that i charge $200 PER PERSON for the class and there are 100 people in attendance in the hall.
OK, so that's a decent amount of money
THE DIFFERENCE IS THIS....
- The subject that i'm teaching GIVES ME NO INCENTIVE TO LIE TO YOU, so .. When i teach you Circuit Theory (For example) I have no incentive to lie and make shit up.
- Frank however, runs a business and the business model is .. PITCH RELIGION and in order for longevity of business HE HAS TO DEFEND IT,
He is Incentived, NOT TO TELL TRUTH, but to say WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO TO PRESERVE HIS INCOME.
As for me , I only need Electronics fundamentals to exist for my business to prosper
so yeah. I'm saying he's not a teacher
he is a businessman and a Presenter and he Presents for Profit
let's put Frank in the same basket as Greg Secker (The Forex Guy)
I know for a fact that Greg is full of shit, His course doesn't work, IT'S BASED ON A LIE, Now if you understood trading i could explain it, But... i won't bore you unless you want to know.
the point is.. both have an incentive to lie, Greg however ties up a person contractually and gets you to give him $6,000 a pop
Frank plays the game where he will pitch, YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY ANYTHING
and yet.. EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS PUT MONEY INTO RELIGION , haven't they ?
Wow. As a Catholic who is in serious crisis of faith... I needed to hear this at this moment.
You dont need a label. You dont need religion. They are ALL the satans creations.
You need to start building a relationship with my Father. Religions hinder the voice of the spirit getting through to you.
To build a relationship you need to spend time in it. Talk directly to my Father.
Can I ask what the reason for your crisis is? Cheers from a Catholic in Switzerland.
Theres your problem you follow a satanic church that goes against everything christ taught better wake up now and stop listening to anything other than what god tells you and you'll see very shortly just read he teachings of Christ
Christ is not a religion Christ is the physical embodiment of God
Trust in Christ. You’ll be fine.
I believe the church has missed opportunities in the difficult portions of the Bible,to thoroughly explain why God did or didn't do certain things. I'm very interested in the book being discussed here. Very interesting subject. Thanks for sharing.
Does God owe anyone an explanation though? Who will stay his hand or tell him he is wrong? Who can righteously judge God?

I love Frank's response and his book recommendation, but I also loved point you raised which is a bit more fundamental. And also love how you going to presuppositional topics without a presupp script

Thank you for your channel dude. It is wonderful. It is light. Thank you.
Also - the face you made after reading the first Dawkins quote was really funny.
Thank you - @daily Dose of Wisdom! My son has been going through a tough season and trying to make sense of exactly what is being discussed here. I’ve been praying for how to learn more about this topic, so that I can share with him. I “happened” to stumble across your video and am blown away by His love and answers to prayer!! I’m looking forward to this new series, and watching it with my son. I will commit to pray for you and this series! Thank you!
There are many gods in the Bible and only the God of this world, the devil, commands humans to kill other humans - the bible actually says that the devil came to Moses and gave him the Mosaic Law, it is in the character of the devil to order men to kill other men when the devil gives them lands in exchange for worship. The Most High, the Father and the Son do not order deaths as we can clearly see Yeshua ordered no deaths or did He kill anyone and He is the exact image of the Father, the Father and the Son are the same. If we think the father and son are playing good cop bad cop then we do not know the real Father and Son like Israel still does not - they rejected them both. Yeshua stated in John 8:44 who Israels father literally was. The willfully blind have skipped over the verses that show this truth as they are brainwashed to believe what man says the bible says - we must not put our faith in man but in Yeshua alone.
If you are looking for answers to your questions then listen to Professor Walter Veith , he opened my eyes. God Bless

Most likely those people had Nephalim blood in them
Nephilim populations via genes most likely carried over by the wife of Canaan. Irredeemable genetic monstrosities, hence the instructions to end the hereditary lines
I see no problem if God did the same to Democrats
After being 50 plus yrs. as a Christian, I remember when I first started having issues with Gods word just as the young lady did. Over the yrs. there are still things that I really don;t fully understand, but I am still learning to trust God and to rely on His timing to reveal or not as to the why of the situation. I hope this may have been a help.
Take a look at the World today and see what adults are teaching and perverting the children. The World is becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah were there just evil, including the children. I got to understand why God allowed for children to be killed too. When I saw what Governments, parents and teachers are now teaching innocent children. They are destroying the innocent children. Once’s the innocent children are being taught evil, then nothing is righteous. That when God says enough, it’s judgement day, like Sodom and Gomorrah.
When I first started reading the Bible I was so upset with what I thought was God's cruelty that I was unable to continue to read it. It pushed me toward atheism, but in my heart, I knew that God existed. As I matured in my faith I discovered that there is a good reason for everything God does.
@@radamson1God hates sin!!! When God seemed to be SLAUGHTERING people in The Old Testament, HE is letting you know how much HE Abhors any person disobeying HIM!!! Although HE no longer does it INSTANTLY in The New Testament because of The BLOOD Of JESUS (to see if people will repent), HE is about to kill billions Now!
KING JESUS of Psalms 2 and 72 and Isaiah 2 is NOW Standing UP, and about 3 to 4 billion garbage people are about to be FLUSHED out of This WORLD!!! >>>The Sin of The so-called Christians all over The World and for donkey years simply tied God's HANDS to act on behalf of the impostors who have all their feet in Satan and their lip-service in God. (Matthew 7:21). BUT by GRACE Alone, see HIS BLESSING Upon Me! This is WHAT's About To Happen! Millions of so-called Pastors or Ministers will be among the Dead. ENOUGH Is ENOUGH!!!
=====================
>>>Worldwide Reign of Christianity is Here! Psalm72 KING JESUS is here. It will happen through HIS Incarnate. HE will implement The HEART Of GOD in Isaiah 2, 11, 49, 59, 65; Jeremiah 1:10; Zephaniah 2:11; Ezekiel 36-37 for Me; Psalms 2 and 72, Haggai to Zechariah 6; etc. At the early months of this period, MILLIONS of wicked people shall die and all systems (political establishments, religions of force and murder, etc) that hinder people from fleeing to JESUS shall be removed. Almost All Muslims shall flee to JESUS during this time. Meditate on the cited scriptures, especially Isaiah 2.
>>This 794-year period of Psalm72 KING JESUS is a Gift to Me from DADDYGOD. Almost all Israelis now shall flee to JESUS (Become serious Christians); GREAT JESUS TEMPLE [Apostolic Christian Church Building] shall be erected at The original position of The Solomon's Temple. There will be Jesus-measure peace around The World. [Unfortunately after this time, the 🌎World shall become very decadent again, leading to The Revealing of AntiChrist and The Rest of The Book Of Revelation]. BUT For Now, The ONE-TRUE GOD is STANDING Up!!! The SHOW is On!!! It's Mount-Carmel ShowDOWN (1Jings 18) at Millions of MT-Carmels in This MY 🌎WORLD! It's Mount-JESUS ⛪ CHURCH EXTRAVAGANZA! It's JesuCRACY Imperative!!! Hallelujah!
Do know that the 10 Commandments Still Stand. Christ didn't come to destroy the Law
Yeah well I need to know the why or else I could not follow a god that has done so many obviously evil things.
Im sort of new to all of this and I think your channel is one of the best channels I have found so far, definitely for anyone new to deeper Christianity and who has a lot of critical questions! So its amazing what you have started here, I hope you never take it for granted because its so accessible and all well presented. You are doing a service to so many seekers. The old testament is part what drove me away during my teens
Thanks for much for the encouragement! I’m glad it’s helping!
Another Frank Turek MASTERCLASS with words on screen - using visual logic in teaching and preaching should be done at all times possible!
As a fairly new born again Christian I remember when reading the Bible for the first time it was necessary to remind myself at times that God is completely holy, completely just completely righteous, incapable of lying, that is our God. With this mind set if anything seems off to me in the Old Testament I look at myself and recognise my sinful heart and know then it is not me who is thinking righteously it is God and therefore He must be right and justified in all He does. Bottom line, we do not think rightly. End of. Thank you God that we can trust in You and know you are always right. Thank you Jesus Amen.
I honestly love this channel and how you elaborate the context of this type of content.♥️✝️
Thanks! Glory be to God!

Dude, no disrespect at all. Love the videos. Great content but it's difficult to get past the fish hat. Just friendly advice. Ditch the hat or get a different one. 🤷
@@davidbennett4395Don't you know that Jesus told his disciples (some who were actually fisherman) he would make them fishers of men?
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom When someone presumes to judge God by pretending they're more moral than he is, they're making a huge mistake; but it's usually born of ignorance. As you point out, context is important. In fact, to understand the Old Testament, context is just about everything. Without it, you're most likely going to misunderstand it. There's actually layers of context, from the singular, to the plural, to the overall which encompasses everything right from the beginning.
We are all literally connected by a long chain through our DNA to every one of our ancestors going all the way back to Adam and Eve. When we are conceived, we inherit everything in that chain, both good and bad. We don't see that chain, but God does. He sees it in absolute detail; every component, every value transferred. He knows all the individual influences each of us have inherited, and he can see trends. Like Frank Turek said, God has reasons for doing what he does. He's not capricious. If you don't understand why God did something, try asking him. You may or may not get an immediate answer, and you may or may not even understand it necessarily. Your lack of understanding is a deficiency you have, not a failure on God's part to perform to whatever standard you're trying to judge him by.
Thank goodness the spirit brings a lamp to the book and its always perfect for the conversation God is having with you within the personal relationship held. God is all there is there is and nothing is outside. Outside of me there is nothing there is only creation within the creator ❤

This is just sad to see and morally bankrupt. It's still very uncomfortable to see so-called Christians justify murder and say God is all-powerful. If God existed and has good reasons for murder, that doesn't change the fact that he can literally change anything and everything. God of invisibility and avoidance.
@@cabindatimmy2451 Did you read the story they were referencing about the Caananites?
Glory to God he answered my question in this video! I have started reading the Bible from the beginning and im at Deuteronomy. I’m not an atheist but I was having this questions inside my mind wondering why if killing is bad why would God do that.. this video made me understand🙏🏼
My Father isnt killing humans. They are HYBRIDS who have proven to have evil CONTINUALLY in their hearts and can not change. They were given till the death of Methuselah to change their ways. His name means
" His death shall bring " the flood.
so why are you reading the bible ?
The bible isn't god's word
@@martinkuliza I don’t really think there is anything wrong to have any questions about what I’m reading in the Bible. The world will pass but God’s words will not pass! Hallelujah!
@@martinkuliza and to answer your question of why read the Bible, well the Bible talk about the beginning, people used by God, faith, obedience, old and new covenant, about miracles, Jesus life and his purpose for this world, witness writing from the disciples.. every book has different messages. The Bible is the food of the spirit 🤍
@@Kz_soupz01
NO you see.. YOU MISSED THE POINT
"" I don’t really think there is anything wrong to have any questions about what I’m reading in the Bible
-- THERE ISN'T ,
However, if you as a christian think you're going to get eternal life and go to heaven THEN THERE IS...
But as a normal person looking at you THERE ISN'T.
See... Your idea is
You love god
You want to follow his rules
and you want to do it because you want to get into heaven
WELL Now we have this
"The world will pass but God’s words will not pass! Hallelujah!"
NO.. there is no Hallelujah, You sound stupid when you say that.
THE BIBLE IS NOT GOD'S WORD
so.. If you're reading it to just find out what's in it, THAT'S FINE (Although most christians do not approach the bible with ......... Hmmm, What's this book, Let me read it and find out. NO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
what happens is...
They find out about the bible before they even open the first page, You get told...
it's the word of god, Absolutely and Definitely
WELL, NO IT'S NOT
so... if the idea is to get into heaven by READING HIS WORD
YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY READING HIS WORD
YOU ARE ACTUALLY READING ANOTHER WORD
AS SUCH YOU HAVE BROKEN GOD'S COMMANDMENT
AS SUCH YOU ARE GOING TO HELL
so.. No, There is no Hallelujah
YOU NEED TO THINK MATE
As for will god's word pass
WE DON'T KNOW......... WE DON'T HAVE IT,
But what you are reading now IS NOT GOD'S WORD
So if you want to have a chance of getting to heaven , IT'S WISE TO PUT DOWN THE BIBLE don't you think ?
These type of videos are just a gold mine of knowledge. What a well thought out response to all these hard to ask questions. These videos expand the mind forward with God always at the helm. Keep doing what you’re doing! 👏🏼
I studied with the Jehovah's witnesses a long time ago and back then they said that Christians didn't fall under the comandments but on christ and that there was no burning hell, and this video spoofs it !! Thank you so much
This woman asked the question that most think about but are afraid to ask because when you do people chastise you most of the time. They do this because they themselves don't know the true answer which in itself isn't easy to understand. Frank does a great job of explaining it. I know people that when you ask them do they know the bible they say yes, I read it once, so I don't need to read it again as if they know everything in it. Just like any book you miss things and you not only need to read the bible but pray for understanding of it. This has worked for me as I try to read the bible at least entirely once a year if not twice. I'm amazed every time that I read it I learn something new that I can apply to my everyday life.
Frank is a heretic and his answer is bogus.
If you are BORN AGAIN, the old you is destroyed.
God doesn’t tell us to literal destroy people with a literal sword. His answer is the colonization white supremacy answer.
1 John 3:8 (KJV)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Ephesians 6:17 (KJV)
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
You cannot trust the scholars. They are trained liars
I’ve read it many times.. the Bible doesn’t change any more than a mirror changes… but our reflection and its truth is reflected back to us differently, day after day.
that's a good habit! I myself have a good memory so I've not been reading as often as I should, in reading it more recently it is surprising, the new insights you can get and the things you missed and didn't see the first x number of times looking at scripture. Just today I think I had a really neat revelation, concerning types/metaphors
came from Alex pagani, in a book on deliverance and spiritual warfare, mentions sometimes when the Bible says one thing, some term, there's a chance it's just talking about it literally, and other times it could be referring to something else. I.e., don't muzzle the oxen while they tread. That's an OT command, but Paul says, God was not only speaking of oxen, was He? Was He not referring to us? (in terms of providing financial support to ministry workers, or also enjoying some of what you earn). Alex takes that further to say, hey now when I see oxen in the Bible, it's possible that it's only referring to oxen, BUT there's also a chance it could be referring to ministry workers
there's other instances like this as well. I'd like to do a more dedicated study on it, but I think Alex is into something
Jesus refers to His body as a temple, and in NT letters it mentions that as well. A house can be referred to that as well
Or the Holy Spirit is often referred to as water
Isn't it funny, people ask why God doesn't prevent evil, but as soon as he does, they go all morality on him and think their judgement is superior to his. Fact is, I'm sure, as recent events might show, the Canaanite children that survived Moloch were schooled in that very same horror show and would live to a) avenge their parents' deaths, b) seek to corrupt Israel with their practices, and c) do the very same thing themselves.
There's no evidence God murders anyone or resurrection. Do people really give God credit that things die.
Canaan was giant-infested. If they hadn't wiped them out the Nephilim would spread again.
Same with Palestinian (Goliath )
I'm surprised he didn't mention that.
Didn't Noah's flood wipe out the so called "Giants"? Did God miss a couple "Giants"? Could there be more information left out in the word "Giants"?
Upon further analysis, I see "Giants" also used with Tyrants and Invigorating. More study is required yes, but I would safely assume that 20 plus foot humans were not created, especially since the Bible also says that we are to be like the Angels in heaven that don't marry nor given into marriage. Meaning no sex in heaven. Sorry Muhammad.
With that said. Demons and Angels cannot have sex with humans to "Pro-Create".
Yeah and the giants were killed (maybe some escaped to other lands). But not all the canaanites were killed. The Israelites disobeyed, intermixed with them and ended up getting involved with Moloch worship too.
@@Annatar If we go on the Bible, Angels don't have sex and therefore do not procreate like we do. That means these angels people believe had sex with humans is incorrect and further investigation is needed.
This is very powerful. Lord Jesus have mercy on us all.
Thank you for sharing, Amen 🙏
I'm so glad you are doing this series. Your thoughts echo mine at a time when I was struggling with belief because of my lack of understanding in the Old Testament.
“Your thoughts echo mine”
You are in an echo chamber, my friend. The Old Testament is a pretty hard thing to defend. You do realize it’s the same God in the New Testament? I don’t want to disrespect you or your beliefs but the God in that book is a prick to the human race.
@@Not_Niko I used to think the same thing. It was because I didn't understand important contexts and translations. Have a good day.
@@shadowfax9177 You still don't understand. I mean 400 years and the reason to send humans then instead of doing well any other thing like umm floods, epidemics or plagues weren't available somehow. Also I doubt the sacrifices were the problem but THE IDOL was. See in the 10 commandments there is no mention about not sacrificing. You may tell about the 6th commandment you shall not murder but that didn't seem to be a problem when he sent people to war in his name so that obviously is depending on the situation anyways. I'd rather say people wanted the tech of the people there and decided an idol is not good and that will justify murder right? I mean god can say that, there is no problem to that.
@@Not_Niko Prick or merciful? I suppose that is a matter of how grateful one is for putting up with arrogance, and how much one recognizes the arrogance. God in the Old Testament divides the lands according to the sons of God that those lands worshipped (Dt. 32:7-9). This was an act of kindness, if you want to worship something else then go ahead. I will turn from you, and you do not have to be with me or be like me, although I am the most supreme high one who created all. God then chose a people, the lowest of the low of people to build up, so that all may be blessed. He walked with them at which point you cannot eat with demons and the table of God without destroying yourself. We cannot turn from who we are and expect to live. It is likened to suicide. To walk with the source of good and choose again what is evil, is to deny the source of life. Hell would be to always be present but separate in such goodness.

Except of course that Frank is WRONG! A New Moon Day, Sabbath Day, and any Holy Day is just as important to believers today as it ever was. Frank is confused between the laws pertaining to sacrifice and oblation - which Hebrews used to cover their sins until the Messiah came to cleanse us of sin with His blood Sacrifice.
But God created the Sabbath in Genesis, but then reminded Moses and the Hebrew slaves in Exodus 20. In fact the reason why the Hebrews were slaves of Egypt for so long, was that the Hebrews didn't keep Gods Holy Days.
However, if Cain & Abel didn't know Gods Commandments as Frank falsely asserts, then how could they know that they were sinning, and if they didn't know that they were sinning, then why were they offering sacrifices to God? If they didn't know Gods Holy Days, then how did they know the correct day to offer sacrifices to have their own SINS covered?
If those same Commandments were not known to the pre-flood humans, then how could a JUST GOD, determine that they were evil and worthy of death? How did that same JUST GOD determine that Noah and his sons were righteous and worthy of salvation during the flood? In fact why does it say in the New Testament, that we have to REPENT OF SIN, if Gods 10 Commandments don't apply to us anymore? If entering Gods REST that He established at Creation was not commanded, then how is it that all of the Apostles and Disciples continued to observe them to arrive at the day of Pentecost in Acts 2? You can only calculate the correct day of Pentecost by observing Gods Calendar that He placed into the heavens above; which begins by observing the first crescent moon after the Spring Equinox, when the Barley crop is sufficiently ripe to harvest for the Firstfruits Offering, so they observe the 1st Crescent and celebrate it with a Feast called New Moon Day, followed by 6 working days, then a Sabbath Day = 8 days, then another 2 days and they must select a lam without spot or blemish on the 10th day, ready to sacrifice in the evening of the 14th day, just after the Sun had set on the 13th day, then the 14th day is Passover when Hebrews fled egypt, followed by a Sabbath Day on the 15th day of the 1st Month which God calls ABIB. Then on the 16th Day comes Firstfruits, then they must count another 7 Sabbaths, and keep the 1st Day of the week after the 7th Sabbath. Frank is deceived and therefore Frank is lying.
So Frank might appear to be a clever guy, and has some very clever answers, but he himself is a FOOL when it comes to knowledge of Gods Calendar and the importance of Holy Days! This is true of all people who have been DECEIVED to worship or follow or pay homage to THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. You see Frank follows the Roman Calendar, a FALSE IMAGE or LIKENESS of what God placed into the heavens above - to be our Calendar (Genesis 1:14). Even Frank admits that IDOLATRY is still a Commandment taught in the New Testament, and the Roman Calendar is IDOLATRY. So when Revelation 9 says that they repented not of their IDOLATRY, now you know what it means, because no real christian is going to willingly engage in IDOLATRY, which is why Rev 13 says that they were DECEIVED, just like Eve was DECEIVED to break Gods Law.
Just think for a minute, why does Paul say in Acts 18:21 ...I MUST BY ALL MEANS KEEP THIS FEAST WHICH COMETH IN JERUSALEM....? Then again, why does Paul say this in Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food, or in regard to drink, or in regard to a feast, or a New Moon, or Sabbaths, 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, BUT THE BODY THAT CAST IT belongs to Christ.
What Paul is saying, is that if you are a Christian, then don't let any man judge you for continuing to cast these shadows by observing Gods Calendar of New Moon Days, Sabbath Days, and Feast Days. Why does he say this? Because the Romans persecuted the Christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar, and later the Popes persecuted christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar. Even Romans 14:6 states that if we don't regard a day to the Lord then we don't regard the Lord. Then in Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
Do you see it now? Frank is setting a pattern of DISOBEDIENCE by refusing the enter Gods Rest. God made the Sabbath, not Moses. Frank is teaching people to disobey God, and therefore is one of the many false teachers the Jesus warned us about. Frank can reason powerfully with Atheists, but cannot reason his own foolishness and disobedience.
It seems like you missed his point that Jesus IS the Sabbath. Col. 2:17; Heb. 8:13.
@@delawarecop it seems like you missed his point that Jesus IS the Sabbath. Col.2:17; Heb 8:13
So god creates man. God gives man free will. Since god is all knowing he is aware of what each man and woman will do. God then punishes man with a totally loving sentence of death for doing what god already knew he was going to do.
An all knowing, all powerful, and all loving god who can do anything decides to condemn a man or woman to a life that will end up with that person’s death at the hands of his creator. That’s brilliant.
I enjoyed watching that and I learned something that will get me to read the Bible in search of new stuff and I love it
I often feel like I my church and community doesn't address these hard questions of christianity well enough and I'm left all alone with so many difficult thoughts. It has been very hard for the last 3 years and I have been very close to giving up on christianity. I found this channel a few weeks ago and it has really met with my needs for deep discussion about the hard parts of christianity. And for the first time in a very long time I feel like I might actually believe in God and the Gospel. I am so thankful for this channel!
Evolution and also Adam and Eve as the first people still remain as biggest questions for me. Even in the Bible, other people are mentioned during the time of Adam and Eve. Cain said "I shall be restless wanderer of the earts and whoever finds me will kill me". And Cain went to another land with his wife and had children. Who was the wife?
Cain married his sister. Most probably Awan. Who else can he marry?

Dr lisle does a very good job of explaining that not only are there scientific issues with darwinian evolution, but also with radiometric and carbon dating. Darwinian evolution is pseudoscience
I just replied to this and my comment has been removed. Why?
You need to repent and believe the Gospel. Christianity won't save you. Cain's wife was one of his sisters or a niece. It was perfectly normal to marry a close relative back then, but it is no longer allowed due to degenerative effects of the fall.
"I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am... I Am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst... I Am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it... I Am the Good Shepherd: the Good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and Am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are One... I Am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?.. I Am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life... And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God... Ye must be born again... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit... If ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple... Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: and the third day He shall rise again... And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God... All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out... No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father... As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given Him... And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also... Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder... Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear... Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man... Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart... For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel...I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... I Am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I Am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - The Lord Jesus Christ
Thank you every time I watch one of your CZcams cast. I learned something that I already knew or felt inside but it becomes more clear. More relevant more concrete within myself and I appreciate that thank you
I might not agree with certain ideas discussed here but I have to say I enjoy the debates. I love the way this man speaks and the degree of respect he gives to those asking the questions.
I just came across your channel. I really enjoyed this video and I hit subscribe to follow for the upcoming hard questions. God bless you and thank you.
I strongly recommend reading the books of Dr Michael Heiser! He is a normal evangelican christian theologan with a lifetime of studying the Bible in it's original languages.
He specializes in the Jewish context of both testaments.
He has an excellent explanation on the wars in the OT.🎉
I like him too!
I totally agree I believe it was more to do with the Raphaim. The Canaanite’s had nephilim descendants.
@debbiewareing1178 The ancient Israelites *were* Canaanites or a mix thereof. Where do you think the divine council idea comes from, the 70 sons of God, the imagery, epithets and descriptions that Yahweh borrowed from El and Baal?
---------------------------------------------------------
Nevertheless, the historical reconstruction that El was the chief god of the Israelites is not indebted only to the testimony of the (rather late) biblical witness of P. *Numerous biblical texts attest to the fact that the titles, functions, and the imagery associated with the Canaanite god El, as revealed by the Ugaritic texts and the Canaanite myth of Elkunirša, were assimilated into the profile of the deity YHWH.* According to the Ugaritic texts, El was known for his *wisdom* (e.g., KTU2 1.4.V.65[6]) and *great age* (’ab šnm, *“Father of Years,”* and drd, *“Ageless One,”* in KTU2 1.4.IV.24 and 1.10.III.6, respectively),[7] his *compassionate nature* (lţpn il dp’id, *“Kind El, the Compassionate One,”* e.g., KTU2 1.16.IV.9), his role as *father of the gods and humanity* (’ab ’adm, *“father of humanity,”* KTU2 1.14..III.47, and bny bnwt, *“creator of creatures,”* KTU2 1.17.I.24) and *creator of the cosmos.* [8] El was the *divine King* (e.g., KTU2 1.2.III.5-6) and the *head of the pantheon or divine council* (referred to variously as the dr ’il, *“circle of El/Family of El,”* KTU2 1.15.III.19; mpħrt bn ’il, *“the assembly of the sons of El,”* KTU2 1.65.3; bn ’il, *“the sons of El,”* KTU2 1.40.33, 41; pħr kbbm, *“assembly of the stars,”* KTU2 1.10.I.3-4; ‘dt ’ilm, *“assembly of the gods,”* KTU2 1.15.II.7; cf. KTU2 1.2.I; 1.3V; 1.4 IV-V) which met at the sacred mountain. *His consort was the goddess Athirat who bore him seventy sons* (šb‘m bn ’atrt, *“the seventy sons of Athirat,”* KTU2 1.4.VI.46). El was also known for his *divine patronage and blessing of progeny to humans* (as in the Epic of Kirta; see, for example, KTU2 1.14.III.46-51), for his *appearances to humans in dreams* (e.g., KTU2 1.14.I.35-37), as *being a healer* (KTU2 1.16.V-VI), and for his *dwelling at the sacred mountain* (e.g., KTU2 1.2.III.5-6) at the *sources of the mythical rivers* (KTU2 1.2.III.4; 1.3.V.6; 1.4.IV.20-22; 1.17.V.47-48) in a *tent* (KTU2 1.2.III.5; 1.3.V.8; 1.4.IV.24; 1.17.V.49; c.f. the Canaanite myth Elkunirša which *describes El’s abode as a tent[9]).[10]*
*To underscore the fact that terminology and imagery originally used for the god El was adopted by the Israelites in their descriptions of YHWH,* the following brief summary might be placed in comparison to the discussion of El above: YHWH is an *aged, patriarchal deity* (Ps. 102:28; Job 36:26; Is. 40:28; Dan. 7.9-14, 22), *a father* (Deut. 32:6; Is. 63:16; 64:7; Jer. 3:4, 19; 31:9, etc.), *merciful and gracious* (Ex. 34:6; Jon. 4:2; Joel 2:13; Ps. 8615; 103:8; 145:8, etc.), *a divine patron who bestows the blessing of progeny upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,* often manifesting himself in *dreams or visions, a healer* (Gen. 20:17; Num. 12:13; 2 Kgs. 20:5, 8; Ps. 107:20, etc.), who *dwells in a tent* (Ps. 15:1; 27:6; 91:10; 132:3) *amidst the heavenly waters* (Ps. 47:5; 87; Is. 33: 20-22; Ez. 47:1-12, etc.), the *creator of the cosmos,* who is enthroned as *heavenly King* in the *divine council* (1 Kgs. 22:19; Is. 6:1-8; cf. Ps. 29:1-2; 82; 89: 5-8, etc.) on the *sacred mount of assembly* (e.g., Is. 14:13). Additionally, in much Israelite religious practice throughout the monarchic period, *YHWH had a divine consort, the goddess Asherah, the Hebrew equivalent of Ugaritic Athirat.[11]* (Originally the wife of El)

Thank you for the explanation about OT laws not being applicable to Christians unless they are repeated in the New Testament. I've been a Christian since a child
and never heard this before. This answers so many questions. This was a blessing.
This is a mistake in my opinion. God doesn’t change His character and He cannot sin, so if He commanded something in the Old Testament, that means in some sense, no matter what the commandment was, it must be good. If the context for that command presents itself again in the modern day, we would be obliged to abide by those same commandment principles. To stray from this would be to accuse God of either changing His character or not being good. I think it is dangerous to pock and choose what we want to follow based on how many times something’s repeated.. God only has to say something once for it to carry weight. I know you agree these things are important, I am only stating my opinion.
@@toughbiblepassages9082 I also don't think that nothing in the Old Testament applies unless it has been corroborated so to speak in the New Testament.
Generally, scholars split the laws of Moses into three categories: Case Law, Ceremonial Law, and Moral Law. Case Law doesn't apply to Christians, since it is Israel-specific and would be impossible to implement in post-Israel culture anyway. Ceremonial Law can't apply either, since its purpose was simply to separate Israel from the nations around it. The ceremonial law was a way of marking the children of Israel as Holy and apart from the world. Christians have the Holy Spirit for that now.
Moral Law, however, certainly does still apply to Christians. God is the standard of morality. He embodies all that is good. Anything moral or good is a direct expression of God- and as stated above, God does not change. Therefore, any moral law stated in the Old Testament would still apply to Christians.
Now to be fair, I haven't found any Old Testament moral laws that aren't reiterated in the New Testament, so there's that. But I think we need to be careful when we're essentially discounting a large portion of the Bible as "not applicable to Christians."
All of the ten commandments stand today God set aside the 7th day for us to rest this was put in place before the law of moses & the 4th commandment is the only one that he sanctified & his word will never change.
@@julienolan5022 Oh, I agree with that. It's just that there are presumably other moral laws in the old testament that would need to apply to Christians.
Jesus said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me." He didn't say "He who keeps MOST of My commandments loves Me, or who keeps NINE of my commandments loves me." Of course all 10 commandments apply to Christians today. IMHO
Outstanding! God bless you brother!
Very well explained. Thank you.
I'm 60 wondered this for my whole life and frank explains it in 10 mins grateful God bless you and all here
We do not need to explain away why God the Father orders death, He doesn't! Only the God of this world would and he is the god that Israel dealt with, the bible actually says this but will be denied by the willfully blind, the prideful, the ones that image the devil who think they represent the one God Most High. That is what Matthew 7:21-23 is all about, people that think they act in the name of Yeshua but are really imaging the devil, they will hear "I never knew you" on that day...
Oh so THAT'S how you justify genocide. Carry on, Hitler.
I’ve recently make a deep submersion into the light of god and there is so much good content out there like this that truly is educational and helps along with reading the Bible and understanding the stories. Thank you.
That's exactly what they are stories, fucking fairy tale stories, the bible is a collection of ancients scripts written by mainly unknown scribes that did not know their arse from their elbows, of ancient lore, camp fire tales and allergorical revelationary claims, it is not a history book, more a Hysterical book, for those with a sense of the fantastical, Batman is more plausible than the tale of the three amigos, daddy god, jesus god and holy spook. Spiced and sexed up fairy tales for adults that gave failed to grow up
Yes a good question by that young lady, something I used to wonder and worry about! The answer is in the bible, when Abraham was questioning God about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah God said he would not destroy those people if there were 10 righteous men to be found in those cities, subsequently they were removed! So it goes with the nation's that were removed by the ancient Israelites, clearly those nation's were up to no good, they were Baal worshippers with one of their traditions being having their first born cast into a fire alive!
@@nigelmcculloch3746 you are aware Baal was YHWH brother, also brother to Yam among many others being the children of El. and Ashera. That the bible is a collection of ancient allergorical revelationary claims and not an actual history book, that there is no historicity to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Noah, Moses or the Jesus of the Bible having no irrefutable, undeniable, indisputable, conclusive evidence any of them actually existed.
@@derekardito2032 no, you are wrong, you need to do better research than that! Clearly Jehovah is the ancient God of the bible, sinful humans removed his holy name from the original scriptures, Jesus christ was referred to by Roman writers who lived in the same time period. Jesus referred to the names of those people who you say have no proof that they existed
@@nigelmcculloch3746 name one Roman that you claim has recorded , multi sourced, verifiable, corroborated evidence proving the existence of the Jesus of the Bible by any proven to exist named persons by the same criteria. I'll answer for you, you cannot because there are none, you can cite Tacitus, Pliny the younger, Josephus, plus many more that Christians claim evidence the Jesus of the Bible existing, but not one of them mentions him by name, ( full name by title,) only Josephus names Jesus( no other name, also known as the Christ) and his writing in is proven forgery not of his hand, he like all of them none were born in the lifetime of the supposed Jesus of the Bible, whose dob and demise date are not unsurprisingly known, none are contemporaries, none name their source of what they wrote, o none of what they wrote has any verification, it's most likely they were just replaying hearsay. There are no some Roman records of crucifixions taking place in that area, 50 years prior to the Jesus of the Bible supposedly existing a "Jesus ?" Was crucified for sedition, he was what today we would call terrorist or freedom fighter depending on your view, he was a fighter of the first Jewish up rising. It's stretching it a bit far to say he lived because of their supposed evidence which is nothing of the sort as evidence. When the Hebrew were in bondage in Babylon they were polygomist, El was the sun god the chief of, his wife was Ashera, the moon goddess, YHWH, was the Hebrew god of storms, AKA, as "Lord", it was in recognition of thd Farsi, releasing them from bondage, that gave them to become mono god worshippers like them, they were zoastrian, worship the one god Mazda, they also had a heaven and hell by reward system. The Jews were not the first to proclaim a sole god. Bottom line, name on person that has ever proven any gods to exist, it does not have to be the particular one you believe is in or the claimed one true one, nobody has , and a trillion billion to one are about the odds anyone ever will. Name on person that can claim and show irrefutable, undeniable, indisputable, conclusive scrap of evidence that the jesus of the Bible existed, not claim, not a concensus of , straight irrefutable common every day actual conclusive evidence, and again I declare, you cannot.
When I hired on with my employer I was given an employee handbook. It clearly laid out what my job was, what the company expected of me, consequences for breaking company rules and grievance procedures. It was clear, concise and could not be interpreted 1000 different ways. I have no doubt there is a God, I also have no doubt he didn’t write the Bible.
This is wonderfully informative.
Thank you for sharing this. This has been a question of mine for a long time and have heard many answers. I'm sure I even heard Frank speak on it before, even. However, this particular time his answers made perfect sense to me. I've been struggling with OT doubts and this helps me.
How about the killing of millions of unborn and newborn babies in a flood?
You still don't understand. I mean 400 years and the reason to send humans then instead of doing well any other thing like umm floods, epidemics or plagues weren't available somehow. Also I doubt the sacrifices were the problem but THE IDOL was. See in the 10 commandments there is no mention about not sacrificing. You may tell about the 6th commandment you shall not murder but that didn't seem to be a problem when he sent people to war in his name so that obviously is depending on the situation anyways. I'd rather say people wanted the tech of the people there and decided an idol is not good and that will justify murder right? I mean god can say that, there is no problem to that.
I have always held the view that God's wrath and righteous anger is part compassion and part discipline.
Wait, you actually think killing everything except two of every kind is compassionate? Or how about being condemned to death for the first mistake of newly created people?
@@iam604 partly, yes. But it doesn't matter what I think. God is God, I am his creation, as are you.
@@iam604You did not live during Noah's time period. Genesis 6:5 states that the "wickedness of man was very great." You cannot go around murdering ( especially babies), warring, pillaging, stealing, enslaving etc. You cannot treat people made in the image of God like trash and expect God to accept it. God waits for people to repent, and when they don't repent, He acts so that more people are not hurt. Everyone wants justice, but when God administers justice, very few like it.
Adam and Eve chose death. If the justice system of a particular country says that you will enter prison or may face capital punishment for heinous murders and a person commits heinous murders, is the justice system at fault for punishing a person who commits heinous murders? God said not to eat from the tree, and they did it. Another way to look at it is that if you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you get to live forever anyway. Everything is restored what you lost through the Fall.
This is a cool conversation! I believe God is Holy God and a God of mercy and justice. Personally, I would rather beg for His mercy! If one really wants to get to know God, He has revealed Himself through the person of Jesus Christ. As people, seeing is believing. Where as God says,
" Believe first then you will see". The core message of the Bible is of faith and offers sound life applications in which to apply to our lives. We are Gods most prized creation and He doesn't want to bear the thought of spending eternity without us. John: 3: 16 is an often quoted Scripture. But one should also make note of verses 17- 18!
@@arthurcheater3359 You’re right. It doesn’t matter what you think, but only what you can prove so prove I am his creation by first proving your god exist.

May I ask.. I know you cover Christian stuff mostly..or at least what I have seen.. do you understand the idea of gnosism also or have videos on that? Iv gone from Christian.. to Judaism to atheist to know gnostic understandings lol. You seem to be knowledgeable just wondering about it. Iv never had someone respond back to me lol
This is just sad to see and morally bankrupt. It's still very uncomfortable to see so-called Christians justify murder and say God is all-powerful. If God existed and has good reasons for murder, that doesn't change the fact that he can literally change anything and everything. God of invisibility and avoidance.
If your new to christ ..stop now. That god is a monster. Its a slaving sadictic murderous petty jealous pyscopath..almost everyone you've ever known..according to christ..will burn in hell..for eternity..for minor crimes...its nonsense
The more I read The Old Testament, I realised how Great was The Love of God for us mankind. Even Jonah complaint about His Love towards the people of Nineveh. We are really blessed to have such a Loving Father ❤️🙏🏻
If one of the "loving father's" children (the Canaanites) was behaving really badly and doing evil things and the "loving father" wanted that child to stop doing those things, is it the behaviour of a "loving father" to ask one of his other children (the Israelites) to slaughter the first child? Just think about that and the morality of it.
Your indoctrination is very apparent, to seek wisdom from a 2,000 year old text that is grossly immoral shows your gullibility in your belief system. religion poisons everything, our laws, our politics and our educational system; and your comment is a prime example of this.
@@davegaskell7680 canaanites did evil deeds before God's eyes, like worshiping idols and sacrificing their own children to their idols by burning them alive and the people would beat their drums so the parents who sacrifice their children wouldn't hear the scream of their children. So God was patiently waiting for them to repent but they didn't stop sacrificing their children to their idols. Please read the context, not just the verse. Please read the whole Bible. Don't just criticized on a single verse, it's misleading. I don't know you but I'll pray for you because Jesus knows you ✝️🙏🏻
@@damank.k3835 Do you really think I misunderstand the story of the killing of the Canaanites? Is my analogy incorrect? I am not sure why you think it necessary to pray for me but thanks for thinking that it might make some difference.
@@davegaskell7680 yes clearly you misunderstood, since you didn't read in context. If you defend canaanites that means you embrace the killing, burning and sacrificing of innocent children to idols till they turn to charred.
I absolutely agree with his breakdown on the theocracy of God in the old testament. However at 6:02 when he says that Exodus to Deuteronomy does not apply to the Christian, where is get getting that from? If you read Isaiah 56 it clearly states that gentiles/strangers (that's us!) who take hold of the covenant shall be accepted of the Lord. We have to be careful when we state that something God wrote (i.e. the ten commandments) do not apply to us anymore:
Isaiah 56:1-8 KJV
[1] Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. [2] Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. [3] Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. [4] For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; [5] even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. [6] Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; [7] even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. [8] The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

This is an excellent answer to this young woman’s question about God being cruel. However knowing God is not only done intellectually, moreover it is through His and your spirit. The Bible tells us that we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. So mental ascent is not how one knows God, it is by having a personal relationship with Him that causes one to know that God is good. One of the actions of the Holy Spirit is to teach us about God. Intellect may help, but God works Spirit-to-spirit. And He bids everyone to come, taste and see that the Lord is good. God will always prove Himself, always. Peace
Good video! I've been following Frank for a few years now, and he's such an amazing teacher! His slides are on point too, seems to have a slide for every question :) Also, great commentary from you as usual, and looking forward to your series with Paul Copan! God bless :)
Except of course that Frank is WRONG! A New Moon Day, Sabbath Day, and any Holy Day is just as important to believers today as it ever was. Frank is confused between the laws pertaining to sacrifice and oblation - which Hebrews used to cover their sins until the Messiah came to cleanse us of sin with His blood Sacrifice.
But God created the Sabbath in Genesis, but then reminded Moses and the Hebrew slaves in Exodus 20. nIn fact the reason why the Hebrews were slaves of Egypt for so long, was that the Hebrews didn't keep Gods Holy Days.
However, if Cain & Abel didn't know Gods Commandments, then how could they know that they were sinning, and if they didn't know that they were sinning, then why were they offering sacrifices to God? If they didn't know Gods Holy Days, then how did they know the correct day to offer sacrifices to have their own SINS covered?
If those same Commandments were not known to the pre-flood humans, then how could a JUST GOD, determine that they were evil and worthy of death? How did that same JUST GOD determine that Noah and his sons were righteous and worthy of salvation during the flood? In fact why does it say in the New Testament, that we have to REPENT OF SIN, if Gods 10 Commandments don't apply to us anymore? If entering Gods REST that He established at Creation was not commanded, then how is it that all of the Apostles and Disciples continued to observe them to arrive at the day of Pentecost in Acts 2? You can only calculate the correct day of Pentecost by observing Gods Calendar that He placed into the heavens above; which begins by observing the first crescent moon after the Spring Equinox, when the Barley crop is sufficiently ripe to harvest for the Firstfruits Offering, so they observe the 1st Crescent and celebrate it with a Feast called New Moon Day, followed by 6 working days, then a Sabbath Day = 8 days, then another 2 days and they must select a lam without spot or blemish on the 10th day, ready to sacrifice in the evening of the 14th day, just after the Sun had set on the 13th day, then the 14th day is Passover when Hebrews fled egypt, followed by a Sabbath Day on the 15th day of the 1st Month which God calls ABIB.
So Frank might appear to be a clever guy, and has some very clever answers, but he himself is a FOOL when it comes to knowledge of Gods Calendar and the importance of Holy Days! This is true of all people who have been DECEIVED to worship or follow or pay homage to THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. You see Frank follows the Roman Calendar, a FALSE IMAGE or LIKENESS of what God placed into the heavens above - to be our Calendar (Genesis 1:14). Even Frank admits that IDOLATRY is still a Commandment taught in the New Testament, and the Roman Calendar is IDOLATRY. S when Revelation 9 says that they repented not of their IDOLATRY, now you know what it means, because no real christian is going to willingly engage in IDOLATRY, which is why Rev 13 says that they were DECEIVED, just like Eve was DECEIVED to break Gods Law.
Just think for a minute, why does Paul say in Acts 18:21 ...I MUST BY ALL MEANS KEEP THIS FEAST WHICH COMETH IN JERUSALEM....? Then again, why does Paul say this in Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food, or in regard to drink, or in regard to a feast, or a New Moon, or Sabbaths, 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
What Paul is saying, is that if you are a Christian, then don't let any man judge you for continuing to cast these shadows by observing Gods Calendar of New Moon Days, Sabbath Days, and Feast Days. Why does he say this? Because the Romans persecuted the Christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar, and later the Popes persecuted christians for failing to keep the Roman Calendar. Even Romans 14:6 states that if we don't regard a day to the Lord then we don't regard the Lord. Then in Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
Do you see it now? Frank is setting a pattern of DISOBEDIENCE by refusing the enter Gods Rest. God made the Sabbath, not Moses. Frank is teaching people to disobey God, and therefore is one of the many false teachers the Jesus warned us about. Frank can reason powerfully with Atheists, but cannot reason his own foolishness and disobedience.
Looking forward to the new podcast... your videos have been enlightening and helps me grow in my understanding of the Bible, God and Christianity... God bless you
Thank you. When are you starting the podcast please?
*Anyone know where the FULL Presentation is....?* Not the "clips" at the Cross Examined place. Thanks
Also, there seems to be a couple of "other" presentations they are taking clips from, those too would be great. :)
I find what he's presenting to be highly valuable, really want to have the info ready. I've also looked through the entire Cross Examined CZcams, and no full video on this or the other common clips I'm seeing.
Very well and concisely stated, summarized it very well got most of the points out better than i could have, gonna try to memeorize this version than my longer version of explanation haha, but one thing right away that sticks out that i'd add is that children under the age of accountability that die are ushered into heaven according to God's Word. That would help in the answer of this tough question
Great video, I love your channel and the hard questions that are being discussed. This helps me through a time of trouble. No joke!
You're doing a wonderful job brother, really filling a need for those seeking the truth in Jesus and having philosophical questions along the way. For anybody possibly new to the faith or seeking, I would for sure recommend that you pray to God and ask for understanding and Wisdom. Humble yourself and acknowledge Jesus, He is the way!
1 Corinthians 11:25 is something I use for throwing any question out of my mind related to why Old testament is not important for me as Christian and why I do not need to observe most of it... but mainly to focus on new testament...
But the OT shows his character and he is the same God. There's a saying, when someone shows you who they are, believe it. Ignoring red flags isn't a good way to go through life.
Appreciated the answer given to the girl's question. Why, however, do certain believers believe the sabbath is not for Christians???
Matthew 24:20-21 & Acts 18:4
It was because of the Nephilim blood of those people that the Israelites were to wipe out, corrupted DNA from fallen angels. The whole reason for Noah's flood, all flesh including animals were corrupted. Noah was perfect in his pedigree.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All fairy stories.
YES THIS IS THE ONLY REASON.... THE CANAANITES WERE MINGLED WITH NEPHILIMS and the PROGENY INCLUDING HUMAN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ANIMALS WOULD PROPAGATE THE BAD CORRUPTED GENES NOW MINGLED IN THE CANAANITE BLOOD... SO THEY ALL HAD TO BE WIPED OUT....!!!
NOTHING IMMORAL ABOUT THAT JUDGEMENT OF GOD... The speaker goes on talking AND BEATING AROUND THE BUSH with even speaking of this fact OF THE NEPHILIM.
Pond scum becoming a living organism is a fairy story.
@@ZenWit85 One you made up.
I was so blessed by this. I hear people say all the time “GOD is good.” And most people don’t even know HIM. And it’s just glib. I know HIM. And I know HE is literally good. Btw, who am I to even say that (I always think this, who on earth am I to call HIM good. I only know a small facet of HIM. But to know HIM. HE is so good. And that is such a strong position to come from. I don’t know many things, but I feel vastly rich in saying “I know that HE is good.” And I want you to know that too. The strongest position that you can take against the enemy is to die in the hill of “no matter what you say to me, I KNOW GOD IS GOOD.” I just believe it is very disarming against the enemy. Another powerful position is thankfulness. One of the best things you can do is work on being genuinely thankful to GOD. I just felt blessed by your video. I’m glad you’re my brother in CHRIST & I’m glad you’re doing this. This (what you’re doing) is warfare. GOD bless you. I don’t even know how your channel turned up on my stream but I’m so glad you did. I’m looking forward to seeing more🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊😊
Just answer the f****** question Frank let me ask you a question first God how do we know it's wrong this is pathetic and you people do see that Frank Turek is do not see that he's pathetic is absurd what we call morals we should really call ethics and Society has decided which ethical governments decide what's illegal we know through evolution what is beneficial and what is not beneficial to the survival of our species murdering our own robbing our own for most of us is not beneficial to our species sure they're always be Psychopaths and dictators and conquerors who missed out on empathy but most of us have it not because of God because we want the pack to survive
So y'all way wanted the Canaanites eliminated because he created a very poor product and failed to convince his product to behave appropriately so then he sends his human men minion do his bidding why does your God need humans to do his dirty work for him how about Thanos snap the cainites out of existence or Thanos snap away their ability to sacrifice children mentally leave are all precious free will but then I'll snap away the ability for infanticide torture murder rape just make it so we're not capable of those things and we could still decide what flavor of ice cream we want still decide what flavor of ice cream we wanted
Interesting question why did God need to wipe them out at all if they're killing their babies your civilization probably is not going to prosper if you keep killing all your babies not to mention if it were a forced sacrifice cuz I doubt any mother on the planet once their baby Sizzle to death maybe deal with the people in charge of the sacrifices because I'm sure the tribal chief Wicked Canaanites wasn't grilling his children more likely if this was happening it was probably the Canaanites of the lowest status whose children were taken from them and these forced sacrifices would happen. So God don't deal with the evil leaders who were doing this don't intervene and deal with the powers in charge of the sacrifices punish everyone because there is no mother on the planet who is going to volunteer their children for this
God didn't stop the evil of the Canaanites sacrificing their children
@@shadowlazers no. Free will is real.
Hello from France, we have to keep the Sabbat day, in the millenium, Jésus will be here and nations will observe this day
That topic in the Bible sent me into atheism 30 years ago...I'm a Catholic Christian and hav been the best 10 years of my Life
"If Christianity is true people don't die they just change location..." I love that!
Read ecclesiastes 9:5-6
Also John chapter 11 the raising of Lazarus.
There are many other scriptures. This is a start
So you'd be fine with someone murdering your child in the name of God because "they don't die, they just change location?"
New subscriber! I happened upon this channel today and found a path to a deeper meaning of the word of God. I look forward to diving down the biblical rabbit hole of understanding. God bless you and your channels. My spirit must be part Berean, because I test everything.
Welcome aboard! 🙏❤️
Awesome! Loved it.
Trent Horn's book "Hard Sayings" has several chapters on this subject. It's honestly fantastic.
Very much looking forward to this series. I've been struggling with some of the moral issues like what this girl brought up. Thank you!
The god of the bible is immoral. You have it right.
"struggling" - you see the truth and can't reconcile it.
This is extremely helpful! Thank you! I look forward to your new series!
God is everywhere in everything time, past, present and future.
God is knowledge.God is righteous.
Im agree whatever do to reject him GODitself is still
She was smiling and thus was definitely satisfied in his answers. The Spirit of God was upon him. She has a heart wanting to know God
I thoroughly enjoyed this, subscribed to your channel and look forward to listening to many more videos. God bless you for what you're doing here. 🙏
This channel is pure gold. Keep it up brother!
Sweet girl, good girl. She even replied, Thank You Sir!
@dailydoseofwisdom how are we supposed to read the bible? i heard him say figure out the context ..but what would you recommend
Thank you brother! I just come across your videos and you are a breath of fresh Holy Spirit air! Keep it up and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and be encouraged and a real and living relationship with Jesus!
so.... You're calling the Author of this channel JESUS CHRIST (The Holy spirit)
I'm pretty sure that's forbidden in the eyes of god
also
How are you planning to have a real relatioship with jesus
1. IF YOU FOLLOW THIS CHANNEL
2. IF YOU DON'T RESEARCH JESUS HIMSELF
You're not supposed to like and subscribe to this channel
you're supposed to like and subscribe to jesus
Great account. Great content. I learned from each video. I'm new to reading the Bible and taking it seriously. Not only do I want to believe, I need help in understanding the context to speed me up on this journey. A big congratulations on the news, Brandon. It is fully deserved.
I would suggest that you watch The God Culture channel. You are going to learn a lot of mind blowing ideas that are in the bible all along. Most of us don't really research the bible deeply. Those who research the bible very deeply learn a lot of things that were taught wrongly by the church. One example of this is where do our souls go when we die? This is very clear in the bible but very few of us got it correctly. I would suggest though to start from the very beginning of their videos so that you will not be confused in the later videos.
For now, you are better off here and with a Bible for yourself to read.
Do a search for a free program called: e-sword
It is a free program that will allow you to compare various bible editions.
Again, it is free, no strings.
Four other great teachers imho are: Dr. John Barnett of DTBM, Joel Kramer of Expedition Bible, Greg Laurie and John Lennox. Absolutely wonderful in their own right. Prayers for your journey with Yaweh. God Bless. ❤
I suggest that you get hold of a brief introduction to the Bible (which you may already be fully aware of).
It is a collection of books.
The first half: the so-called 'Old Testament' tracks the foundation of the world and man, the creature in God's image, falling from relationship with God. It then traces the moves through history to bring the Messiah who will restore the relationship broken.
The OT has the history of this people, their literature, including prophets who call them back to God. It shows God working his way through a corrupt and decaying world full of fury and wickedness to bring the Messiah to herald the Kingdom of God.
The New Testament is the collection of writings about and under the auspices of Yeshua (Jesus in the Greek translation. The English translation of Yeshua is Joshua) of Nazareth, the Messiah, who was God in human form.
@@man4YAWEH454 And, of course N. T. Wright.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I have a lot of respect for Paul’s work, and enjoy watching his videos. Since you will be doing a podcast with him, could you ask him to clarify two points he made taking the following texts into account? 1. “The 10 commandments don’t apply to Christians.” Texts for consideration: 1 John 3:4-6, James 2:8-12, Matthew 5:17-19. 2. The Sabbath (commandment) does not reappear in the New Testament (paraphrasing). Text for consideration: Acts 13:13-45. I hope he will have a chance to explain these further. Looking forward to your podcasts :)
Well stated regarding 'verses'! Reading the Scriptures in the entire context and application of the scripture is not a normal practice. We see too much today of those who pick and choose scripture to 'support' their "message". Look forward to seeing more.
So glad I found this channel. Very informative. Great content as well! Nice work Brandon 🙏🏻
He's making money so he's happy.
Good teaching.
Paul, spoke much about the ending of the Mosaic covenant. Using covenental study, the Mosaic covenant , especially explained in Deut. is based on cursing and blessing, a conditional Covenant, a vassal type covenant. The New Covenant is based on Love not works and performance, but love and relationship!
