I enjoy these videos so much. They really remind me Christianity is such an intelligent religion. Everything works so perfectly together. The Bible is truly divinely inspired! We have so much evidence for the reliability for the OT and NT. We have so many historical facts that can only truly be explained by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The trinity is seen throughout the Bible from the word Elohim, The Angel of The Lord, The Spirit of The Lord. I don't have any doubts about Christianity anymore. Philosophically we have so many great arguments like the leibnizian cosmological argument, fine tuning argument, the watch maker argument, the ontological argument, the historical arguments for the Bible and Jesus Christ, the introspective argument, The evolutionary argument against naturalism, etc. I love God so much. I now have a very confident faith. Thank you Kabane!
Exactly, man. This captures exactly how I feel.

Have you watch the cory barbee channel? Explains the system we live in according to the Bible
Thank you so much for your videos, the insight is very helpful.
Hi Kabane. Thanks for your insights on Genesis. Have you seen The Principle documentary? Look forward to hearing more on this topic, especially the idea of geocentrism and the firmament. As you probably know, there is a growing movement of people discussing these topics from various theories without the benefit of Orthodox patristics.
Will you be commenting on The Hexaemeron by Saint Basil? Also love to hear your thoughts on Genesis, Creation and Early Man by Fr. Seraphim Rose. Do you think The Book of Enoch has a place in this discussion? Keep up the good work.
The man who made that documentary tricked real Astro physicists into joining it. He did so to make his case for geocentricism look more credible
I disagree with your comment that the number seven symbolizes completeness. The number seven symbolizes “covenant,” in Genesis 21:25-32 we see Abraham give Abimelech seven ewe lambs to symbolize the covenant made between the two. The seven days of creation symbolizes Gods covenant with his creation.
I agree, but I don't understand why those two are contradictory. Covenant signifies the relation in which people are brought to their fullness. God comes in glory on the sabbatical day in remembrance of His covenant, by which He brings one era to completion and gives birth to another.
According to my pleb interpretation of Genesis that I have I thought the Earth was a symbol for man because of it's distinction from heaven (which I also inferred to be the invisible heaven) which symbolizes God in verse 1. To me, the Spirit hovering above the waters was an evidence that baptismal water similarly has the Spirit of God "hovering over" it. So when it rains upon the earth, the earth (a type of man) is being baptised with water and the fruits that grow out of it are a symbol of baptism helping grow fruit in man.
And this made more sense to me because Adam is breathed from the earth, and then mankind is "baptised" during the global flood, which 1) baptises mankind by cleaning it of wicked men and 2) "baptizes" the entire earth by covering it. The flood serves as a sort of dual-baptism for mankind and a symbol of mankind (the earth). The dove in the flood story is similar to the Spirit of god "hovering above the waters", and just as mankind has been purified into Noah and his family, an olive branch symbolizes again (as in Genesis 1) that the baptism yields the fruit of life after the waters have dried, similar to how, on the third day, the herb of grass and fruit trees appear immediately after the waters (above which hovers the Spirit of God, prefigurirng the Dove of the flood) recede to make dry land appear.
The connection seems simple. Does anybody talk about this or think this?
Yeah mang, you're absolutely on target. I should have mentioned it in my video but I forgot. Since man is made from earth, land symbolizes man throughout the Bible. God waters us in baptism and we grow to bear much fruit.
Do you think there is a connection between the day 3 events of separation of the waters and the sacramental fruits growing and the waters of the flood receding and the dove bringing an olive branch?
Do you mean to say there won't be sun and moon in the Eternal Kingdom?
It won't be renewed?
Hello Kabane, I would comment on your channel discussion page but it's full of many terrible comments that are vulgar and blasphemous, I think it'd be best you delete those comments as they are the first thing you see when you go on your channel's comment section.
You didn't mention Lilith. :)
You mean gnostic fiction?
